The Buddha statue of the patriarch Zhang Gong is a Buddha statue enshrined in Puzhao Hall, Yangchun Village, Datian, Minnan Province, China, which has a history of nearly 1,000 years. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
What is very precious is that the Buddha statue of Patriarch Zhang Gong was gilded and molded when his body was not rotten after his death, which is unique among the Buddha statues found so far.
Unfortunately, the Buddha statue of the patriarch was stolen by thieves on December 15, 95, and fell into the hands of an architect in the Netherlands who loved Asian art, and in 97, the collector accidentally found that there was a body hidden in the Buddha statue when he was appreciating the Buddha statue, and this discovery caused a sensation in the whole world.
Experts from the Netherlands, Germany, Hungary and other countries conducted a special study on the Buddha statue of Patriarch Zhanggong, and after carbon 14 testing, it was determined that the age of the physical life in the Buddha statue was 1050 to 1150 AD, that is, between the second year of Huangyou of the Northern Song Dynasty of China and the twentieth year of Shaoxing of the Southern Song Dynasty.
The physical Buddha statue of Patriarch Zhang Gong was exposed by the media, and the villagers of Yangchun Village, Datian, Minnan Province, learned that the Buddha statue lost from Puzhaotang had been exiled to the Netherlands.
The villagers of Yangchun Village began to pursue the Buddha statue back to China, but the Buddha statue has changed hands abroad several times, and the Dutch architect collector bought it from someone else in a completely legal way, in addition, although the villagers of Yangchun Village can use genealogy and relevant information to prove that Patriarch Zhang Gong sat down at the age of 37 in the reign of Zhao Xuyuanyou of Song Zhezong, that is, from 1086 to 1094, this era is very consistent with the results of the Dutch experts' carbon 14 test on the body, but unfortunately, The villagers of Yangchun Village did not have a single photo of the Buddha statue in the flesh of Patriarch Zhang Gong in their hands, and there was no evidence to prove that this Buddha statue was the Buddha statue that was lost in Puzhao Hall in Yangchun Village.
He knew that the Buddha statue was his own, but he could not produce any evidence to prove it, and the Dutch collector still bought it legally, which made it difficult for the villagers of Yangchun Village to recover the Buddha statue.
At this time, Catherine suddenly mentioned to Tang Dou the Buddha statue of Patriarch Zhanggong, Tang Dou guessed it without asking, this Princess Catherine must have studied her own information in detail, and knew that she was worried about the loss of overseas cultural relics, so she brought up this topic as she liked.
Tang Dou concluded that Princess Catherine must have a way to get the Buddha statue from the architect's collector, and Tang Dou also concluded that Princess Catherine would probably donate the Buddha statue to herself as a gesture of goodwill.
As soon as Prince William met, he gave himself a national gift made of pure gold, a Dutch windmill.
And this Princess Catherine shot obviously higher, throwing herself a statue of the flesh Buddha of Patriarch Zhang Gong that she would definitely not refuse.
However, this also reflects from one side that the influence of Qian's enterprises on the Netherlands is indeed very huge, otherwise Prince William and Princess Catherine would not have deliberately scrambled Tang Dou.
For this Zhanggong Patriarch flesh Buddha statue, Tang Dou must be recovered back to China, but for the time being, he has not thought about how to recover this Zhanggong Patriarch flesh Buddha statue, although this Buddha statue is said to be the only flesh Buddha statue, but for Tang Dou, there are countless cultural relics that need to be recovered that are much higher than this Buddha statue, and it is not the turn of this Buddha statue for the time being.
Of course, now that he has encountered it, Tang Dou doesn't mind doing it.
Therefore, Tang Dou asked Catherine: "Why did Princess Catherine mention the Buddha statue of Patriarch Zhanggong to me?" ”
Catherine smiled at Tang Dou and said: "Although the Buddha statue of Patriarch Zhang Gong is in the collection of a collector in the Netherlands, I personally believe that this Buddha statue should have been illegally lost from China to the Netherlands, and I can persuade the collector to return the Buddha statue of Patriarch Zhang Gong to China." ”
Tang Dou smiled at Catherine and said, "Actually, I followed my godfather to the Netherlands this time, and I also wanted to help the villagers of Yangchun Village recover this incarnate Buddha statue. ”
Hearing Tang Dou's answer, Catherine had a smile on her face, she knew that she had taken the right step, and the future successor of the Qian company was really very concerned about recovering China's cultural relics lost overseas.
Tang Dou smiled and stood up and said to Catherine: "Princess Catherine, please wait a moment, I have brought some evidence, I will go and bring it to you to see, maybe this evidence will help you persuade the collector to return the Buddha statue." ”
Tang Dou nodded to Prince William, turned and strode into the castle, heading straight for his room.
Tang Dou would bring any evidence about the physical Buddha statue of Patriarch Zhang Gong, he only needed to find a quiet place to make evidence now.
Seeing Tang Dou walking back to the castle, Prince William glanced at Catherine, and was very unhappy with the Coke in front of him and took a big sip, but as the Coke took his mouth, he grinned bitterly.
Catherine smiled and said to Prince William: "William, it's time for you to go to the dentist, obviously you can't eat raw and cold things, but you want to say that you like to drink Coke, or ice." ”
Prince William rolled Catherine's eyes, turned his head angrily and inhaled the cold air, this damn tooth, it should be pulled out.
Tang Dou strode back to his room, closed the door, swept his senses, and disappeared directly into the room.
On a certain day in a certain month in the early years of the Republic of China, Yangchun Village, Datian, southern Fujian, was holding a vigorous ancestor worship ceremony, the people in the village killed pigs and sheep, and gathered in Puzhao Hall with three animal sacrifices, celebrating the final change of dynasty and ushering in a new century.
At this time, someone in the bustling crowd found that Tang Dou, who was wearing a suit and a camera, appeared outside the crowd, which was extremely abrupt.
Someone turned around and ran into the Puzhao Hall from the crowd, squeezed in front of the village chief who was worshipping the Buddha statue of Patriarch Zhanggong and shouted: "Master, there is a man in a dress outside with a camera......
The village chief who was worshipping hurriedly got up from the ground, followed the man all the way out of Puzhaotang, ran directly to Tang Dou, smiled without saying a word, nodded and asked Tang Dou: "This gentleman, may I ask what you are doing here?" ”
Tang Dou smiled at the old village chief who was actually the village chief and said: "Hello, I am a reporter from Xinmin Evening News, I heard that your village is engaged in ancestor worship activities, I want to come over and take a few sets of photos, I don't know if it's inconvenient?" ”
Although Yangchun Village is a relatively closed small village, but the outside world is also full of deaf ears, the old village chief even once read the newspaper, at this time heard Tang Dou claiming to be a reporter from the Xinmin Evening News was very excited, hurriedly took out the bag that he had been in his pocket but never gave out of the pack of Hademen took out one and handed it to Tang Dou, and said in a loud voice: "Welcome Mr. Reporter to our village for an interview, you hurry up and kill pigs and boil water, Mr. Reporter, please ...... inside."
Tang Dou smiled and waved his hand: "There's no need to kill pigs, I still have something to do, take two photos and leave." ”
As long as you take a few photos of the people of Yangchun Village worshiping the Buddha statue of Patriarch Zhanggong in the flesh and take it back, it is the most powerful evidence of the ownership of the Buddha statue of Patriarch Zhanggong, as for how to explain it, Tang Dou can be said to be found in a certain document returned from small Japan, and the last time I exchanged such a huge number of documents with Little Japan, it is too simple to stuff something into it, of course, it is only for Tang Dou.
The old village chief Zhang Luo people rearranged, and the slaughter of pigs and sheep naturally continued, but Tang Dou didn't have so much time to wait for them to do it again, he almost escorted the old village chief and a few respected people in the village to kneel and bow in front of the Buddha statue of Patriarch Zhanggong, and he took a few photos with a click, and then casually found an excuse to find a place where no one was around.
By the time Tang Dou came out of the castle master room again, he already had an extra file bag in his hand, which contained not only the two original photos, but also an old newspaper that published the original photos.
Holding these powerful evidences, a smile appeared on the corner of Tang Dou's mouth.
With these evidences, it is not difficult to recover the physical Buddha statue of Patriarch Zhang Gong, but if Catherine can solve it smoothly, Tang Dou will also be happy to enjoy it, but he doesn't need to owe Catherine much favor.
Things are ours, and it is a matter of course to give them back to us, and the reason why the architect-collector said that the right way to buy the collection is not well-founded.
You bought the stolen goods, and it is a matter of course to claim them back, and whether or not to pay you compensation depends on our mood.
However, as for the issue of the Dutch crown prince, Tang Dou really wanted to sit down with Qian Cihang and have a good talk......
