Chapter 38 Identification of Stone to ward off evil spirits

The business of Huapingzhai at this time was quite good, and there were many people coming and going, but Song Fang still noticed Zheng Tianlong all of a sudden, this feeling was very strange, like a pearl suddenly appeared in the crowd, and he couldn't pay attention to it. It was for this reason that even if there were many people, Song Fang still came over to greet Zheng Tianlong.

Hearing Zheng Tianlong say this at this time, Song Fang was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It seems that it is a collection of playing devices, my name is Song Fang, and I am the owner of this shop, may I ask your surname?" ”，

Zheng Tianlong nodded and said, "Don't be expensive, my name is Zheng Tianlong." ”

"Master Zheng, since you are a game collector, then please go to the second floor."

Zheng Tianlong is not surprised that Song Fang sees his identity, although this Song Fang is young, it is estimated that due to family tradition, his vision is quite unique, he believes that just like he has seen that the other party is a master, Song Fang also sees that he is a peer.

"Okay, let's go up and have a look."

Zheng Tianlong was a little curious about the second floor that Song Fang said, if you can see good magic weapons on the first floor, then the quality of the second floor is estimated to be even better.

As Song Fang went up to the second floor, Zheng Tianlong found that the space here was the same as the first floor, but there were a lot fewer people, most of the shelves were relatively short, and there were fewer magic weapons placed on them. In terms of layout, there is a large table in the center, surrounded by chairs, and above the table is a huge lamp, and the light shines directly on the table.

"This should be the table used to identify the artifact."

Zheng Tianlong immediately understood what this place was for, because he had set up the same table in Qiankun Zhai.

"Master Song, you're here."

"Master Song, if you don't come here for a few days, you have added a lot of things here."

……

Song Fang should be very popular, as soon as he saw him coming, the people who were sitting on the sofa around the table all raised their heads to say hello.

"Heh, everyone, let me introduce to you, this is Master Zheng Tianlong, and he is also a collector of playing games."

"Hello everyone."

Zheng Tianlong took a step forward and greeted the two old men sitting on the sofa, both in their sixties.

"These three are Lao Wu and Lao Bi."

After the introduction, Song Fang said to Zheng Tianlong: "Master Zheng, the magic weapons here are better than the ones below, and many of them are collectible, you can take a look, if there is something eye-catching, I will go and get busy first." ”

"Okay, Master Song, you can get busy first, I'll take a look."

Zheng Tianlong understood it at this time, the business mode of painting Ping Zhai is divided into two different models on the first floor and the second floor, the first floor is mainly engaged in ordinary daily magic weapons, ordinary people will buy or sell more, as for the second floor, it is mainly open to some people who collect playing instruments, and the magic weapons in this place are more expensive.

"It seems that this approach can also be used as a reference in the future."

Zheng Tianlong silently calculated in his heart, the current main business method of Qiankun Zhai is to identify magic weapons and look at feng shui, and the trading of magic weapons has not really started yet, but this is a matter of time, and all this that he sees now has brought a lot of inspiration to Zheng Tianlong.

Consumers have different spending power, the same is true for magic weapons, and the magic weapons are not said to be more expensive, the better, the evil qi that will be encountered in daily life is often not too strong, the use of general magic weapons can be, the price of this kind of magic weapons is not high, the sales volume is large, Qiankun Zhai can be completely like the painting screen Zhai to open up a layer or two floors, specifically for the operation of this kind of magic weapons, as for the collection or relatively high value of the magic weapons, you can completely set out a separate layer to arrange.

"Master Zheng, I heard from Master Song that you are also a collector of magic weapons, are you interested in studying this magic weapon with us?"

Just as Zheng Tianlong was thinking about this, a voice came from the side, and when he looked up, he found that it was Wu Dong among the three introduced by Song Fang just now.

Zheng Tianlong started with magic weapons, and at this time, when he heard Wu Dong say that there are magic weapons that need to be identified, where will he let go? He immediately nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll take a look and learn too." ”

Zheng Tianlong walked to the sofa and sat down, and when he looked at the tabletop, he found that there was a stone beast with a length of 50 centimeters and a height of 30 centimeters, which was a stone to ward off evil spirits.

"This is a stone used in a town tomb to ward off evil spirits."

Ancient people often placed some stone statues in front of the cemetery, among which there are stones to ward off evil spirits, so there is another name to call this kind of sacred beast stone statues as tomb beasts.

As for the stone to ward off evil spirits, its other name is also called Pixiu, like a deer, but the tail is long, with two horns, a large mouth but no anus, and the gold and silver treasures that are eaten but will never be spit out, so it can attract wealth and blessings, and has spiritual power.

"Well, yes, but what we hesitate about is what dynasty this stone is from."

Wu Dong nodded lightly, these people have been playing with magic weapons all their lives, and of course they can recognize what is in front of them, but they are not sure which dynasty this is.

"After this stone was found, we studied it for several days, but we didn't come to a conclusion."

Sitting opposite Wu Dong is Bi Shi, the stone in front of him was unintentionally picked up by him, and he couldn't make up his mind, so he brought it here to see if anyone could identify it, but after taking it, don't say that he is a lover like himself, even Song Fang is a little unsure which dynasty this is.

Zheng Tianlong understood what was going on as soon as he heard it. Stone warding off evil first appeared as the name of a mythical beast in 40 BC

The "Urgent Chapter", which is the ancient Chinese children's enlightenment book compiled by Huangmen Ling Shi You during the Yuan Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, mentions: "Shoot the charm to ward off evil spirits and eliminate the evil." ”

However, there have been many evolutions in the style of stone warding off evil spirits in the long years, and they are not fixed, and people who are proficient in the identification of magic weapons are really not easy to grasp what kind of dynasty this is.

"Master Zheng, what dynasty is this, according to you?"

I don't know when, Song Fang also came up again, and as soon as he saw Zheng Tianlong and others studying the stone to ward off evil spirits, he immediately sat down. He had also studied this stone to ward off evil spirits before, but he was inconclusive, and when he saw that Zheng Tianlong seemed to be able to distinguish it, he immediately became interested.

Zheng Tianlong nodded lightly, carefully looked at the stone in front of him to ward off evil spirits, and said slowly for more than ten minutes: "This is from the Six Dynasties." ”

Song Fang's eyebrows raised and said, "Oh? Why? ”

The painting screen was opened by Song Fang's grandfather, and it was passed on that he was already the third generation, and he grew up in such a family since he was a child, so his vision naturally went without saying, but even so, Song Fang had no way to determine what age the stone in front of him was, but now this person who was younger than himself said that this was from the Six Dynasties, especially the affirmative tone showed that Zheng Tianlong was very confident in this.

"Although there are many styles after the appearance of the stone to ward off evil spirits, this style is often related to the background of the times at that time, that is to say, the style of stone to ward off evil spirits is related to the culture of the society at that time, so if we understand the social environment at that time, we can judge which era this stone is to ward off evil spirits."

Song Fang nodded lightly, of course he understood this truth, the dating in the appraisal of magic weapons is actually the same as the dating in the appraisal of antiques, and it must be based on the mastery of various historical materials, otherwise there will be no convincing power.

"Ban Gu is a native of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he wrote in the Book of Han? The Legend of the Western Regions wrote: "Wuyi Mountain is separated from the state of Taoba and Shi

sub, rhinoceros'. When he arrived in the Three Kingdoms, Meng Kang explained: "Peach

A symbol

A corner may be the sky

The two horns may ward off evil spirits. 'Stone to ward off evil spirits was used as a mausoleum, and Shinto stone beasts were also in the Han Dynasty

But at this time, the stone evil spirit is not a deer body but a tiger and a leopard, and the basic style is a tiger head and leopard body, which can be seen in the stone tiger on the Shinto of Huo Quai's tomb. At this time, some stones were also unearthed to ward off evil spirits, and the body resembles a tiger and a leopard, with feathers on its back

The cracked mouth has sharp teeth, and the eyes are as wide as brass bells, exuding anger. ”

Hearing Zheng Tianlong say this, Song Fang and the others showed thoughtful expressions on their faces, and their eyes were focused on the stone evil spirit on the table at this time, Zheng Tianlong's words just now had already said the characteristics of the stone evil spirit in the Han Dynasty, and he had said before that this was a thing of the Six Dynasties, so he would naturally say it next.

Wu Dong picked up the teacup next to him and poured a cup of tea for Zheng Tianlong, he was older than Zheng Tianlong, and this was done to show respect for Zheng Tianlong with actions - his own people had studied for a long time without any results, Zheng Tianlong saw it as soon as he came, how could this not make them admire?

Stretching out his hand and clasping it on the table to express his gratitude, Zheng Tianlong continued: "By the time of the Six Dynasties, the situation has changed. ”

"During the Wei and Jin dynasties of the Three Kingdoms, because of the continuous wars and in order to prevent tomb robbery, the thin burials that were popular in the upper class society, and the statues in front of the tombs of the emperors and princes were very few. But by the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the society was relatively stable again, and the overhaul of the tomb appeared again, and a certain system was formed at this time, before the imperial tomb, there should be a pair of stone beasts and a pair of Shinto stone pillars, a pair of stone tablets, etc., as for the prince's tomb, there should be a pair of stone to ward off evil spirits, a pair of Shinto stone pillars, and a pair of stone tablets. And the stone evil spirit that appeared at this time is like a lion in shape, the head is in and the neck is relatively thick, there is a long enemy hanging chest, and the wings are draped on the shoulders of the body, but there is a characteristic that the stone evil spirit at this time has no horns!

"That is to say, the stone of this period has wings and a body like a lion and tiger, but it has no horns."
