Chapter 422: Heavenly Saint Bronze Man

The old housekeeper of Michael Jay soon came up with a bottle of champagne, and Hong Tianbao smiled bitterly when he saw it. This old man actually took a huge bottle of champagne half a meter high, can he use it so exaggeratedly?

"Your Excellency, do you think this bottle is enough? Why don't I have someone carry a few more bottles? Michael Jay didn't know Hong Tianbao's true intentions, so he didn't know how much he needed, so he found such a large one. Finally, I still have to ask if it is enough.

"Ahem! Enough, enough! Don't be busy. Hong Tianbao hurriedly said, this is enough waste.

Michael's old butler also brought the champagne guy over, but Hong Tianbao used that thing and flicked it casually, and the champagne opened.

The champagne inside suddenly squirted out, causing the ground to be everywhere.

Hong Tianbao slowly poured the champagne into the Nine Dragons Jade Cup, which soon overflowed before stopping. Michael Jay didn't understand what Hong Tianbao was going to do, and stared at Hong Tianbao's movements tightly. Seeing him pour champagne into the jade cup, he secretly said in his heart: Wouldn't it be because he wanted to drink with this jade cup? Although this jade cup may be more precious, it doesn't seem to be very clean inside!

But the next moment, the scene inside the jade cup made him unable to blink. I saw the nine dragons in the jade cup rolling, just like playing in the sea.

"This! It's ...... - Michael Jay pointed to the jade cup in shock. He never dreamed that the exquisite jade cups he had seen for thirty or forty years would be so magical, just like the holy grail in their myths and legends.

"Huh! This is a rare treasure in my country, called: Nine Dragons Jade Cup! ――Hong Tianbao said happily.

Now that this matter has been confirmed, Hong Tianbao immediately sent good news to everyone in China. When Kong Lao and the others heard that it was the magical Nine Dragon Cup of the Qing Dynasty, they were all stunned. Director Ding and Elder Yan immediately found someone and immediately chartered a plane to Britain.

Seeing this treasure, Hong Tianbao was overjoyed, then stood up and walked to other places hoping to see other treasures of the same level. Although this idea is a little unrealistic, it is a great fortune to be able to find one of these treasures here.

As soon as he entered the bronze area, his footsteps stopped again, and his eyes fell straight on a bronze figure.

I saw that this bronze figure was made of bronze, and his height was similar to that of a young man, with a handsome face and a toned physique. head with hair and crown; The upper body is bare, and the lower body has shorts and a belt; The human form is upright, with both hands stretched out and palms forward. The entire bronze figure was densely packed with small holes, but Hong Tianbao knew that it was the acupuncture points of the human body. The bronze figure is cast into two parts, front and back, which are disassembled and combined using special plugs.

Hong Tianbao unfolded his senses, swept towards the bronze figure, and found that there were human organs and bones made of wood carvings. Take a closer look and find that this treasure is from the Song Dynasty. Hong Tianbao immediately recognized the origin of this bronze figure, and his face was a little moved. The fame of this treasure is not in the slightest below the Nine Dragons Jade Cup just now. If you are not mistaken, this is the long-lost Tiansheng Acupuncture Bronze Man.

When it comes to Tiansheng Acupuncture Bronze Man, I have to mention one person, and that is Wang Weiyi.

Wang Weiyi was a famous medical scientist in the Northern Song Dynasty, and successively served as a medical officer in the Song Renzong and Yingzong dynasties. After the efforts of the year, the new national standard for acupuncture and moxibustion meridians and acupoints was completed. In order to facilitate preservation, it was engraved on five stone tablets.

Song Renzong believed that "it is better to convey the heart than to know the words, and it is better to ...... the shape of the case." So he once again ordered to cast an acupuncture bronze man according to the "New Bronze Man Acupuncture Diagram Sutra".

The acupuncture bronze figure was designed by Wang Weiyi, and the imperial court organized skilled craftsmen from all over the country to cast, and in 14 years, two identical acupuncture bronze figures were cast by later people as Song Tiansheng acupuncture bronze figures.

This Song Tiansheng acupuncture bronze figure embodies the high aesthetics of the human body and the casting process at that time. It can be applied not only to acupuncture but also to anatomy. ..., and even more peculiar is its practicality. In the Song Dynasty, acupuncture and moxibustion medical examinations were held in the Medical Officials Institute every year, during which mercury was injected into the copper human body, and the body surface was coated with yellow wax to completely cover the meridian acupuncture points. Test takers can only be injected on the basis of experience. Once the acupuncture points are accurately pierced, mercury will flow out of the acupuncture points. Medical history books refer to this peculiar phenomenon as "needle in and mercury out".

Song Tiansheng Acupuncture Bronze Man is the earliest acupuncture bronze figure cast in China and even the world, which created a precedent in the world to use the bronze figure as a manikin for acupuncture teaching, and has attracted great attention at home and abroad.

An acupuncture bronze figure was placed in the imperial court medical academy for medical practitioners to observe and practice. The other is placed in the Renji Hall of the Great Xiangguo Temple in the capital for the people to visit. "Zisheng Xunfeng" has become one of the eight scenic spots in Bianjing.

The rarity and wonder of Song Tiansheng's acupuncture bronze figures seem to be doomed to a bad fate. More than 100 years later, disaster struck.

In the year of 11 A.D., the Jin soldiers invaded the south on a large scale, breaking through Bianjing, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, and plundering rare treasures. Since then, the two "Song Tiansheng Acupuncture Bronze Figures" have lost their traces.

So where is Song Tiansheng's acupuncture bronze man? Hubei Xiangyang acupuncture bronze man, although there are records but no physical objects According to historical records, a few years after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, an acupuncture bronze figure appeared in Xiangyang, Hubei.

Soon after Zhao Gou ascended the throne, Zhao Nanzhong sent the Song Tiansheng acupuncture bronze figure to the Southern Song court.

The Yuan Dynasty army attacked Bianjing, the capital of the Jin State. Two years later, the Jin Kingdom collapsed, and the Yuan Dynasty took the opportunity to send envoys to the Southern Song Dynasty to coerce and ask for acupuncture bronze figures. Afraid of the power of the Yuan Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty court had to sacrifice the Song Tiansheng acupuncture bronze figure.

The subsequent dynasties were vying for this treasure in the medical world, and until the Ming Dynasty, the Tiansheng Acupuncture Bronze Man was never seen again.

To Hong Tianbao's surprise, this treasure would actually appear abroad. Everyone has always thought that this treasure should be dusty somewhere in the country.

Seeing Hong Tianbao staring at the bronze man in a daze, the old housekeeper of Michael Jie understood that this bronze man who he had always felt was a waste should also be a treasure.

They have different standards of beauty appreciation in the West, and they like treasures that are delicate to every detail. Chinese porcelain suits their tastes, which is why porcelain is so popular in Europe. But this bronze man is obviously unqualified, and at a glance, it makes people feel sick to the stomach when they don't like it, and the dense holes make people feel sick.

Hong Tianbao nodded and said, "This is a medical treasure that has been famous in our country since ancient times. ”

Although these words made the old butler nod, he didn't agree with this bronze man very much in his heart. If you talk about the Nine Dragons Jade Cup just now, he really treats it as a divine object, but this bronze man really doesn't dare to take the same medicine.

Hong Tianbao saw the old housekeeper's expression and knew what he was thinking, but he didn't explain, there was no need to explain...... οΌ‰
