"Experts, the reason why I think that this gilded bronze Buddha statue is not genuine during the Sixteen Kingdoms period of the Han Dynasty is because I have learned that during the Han Dynasty and the Sixteen Kingdoms, the Buddha statue had a square face, a peaceful face, straight hair, and was seated. The Buddha of this period was mostly single and small in size.

However, this big golden Buddha is as high as 78 centimeters, and the golden body of the Buddha looks quite dazzling, like pure gold, which fully proves that it is not an item from the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Han Dynasty.

Next, I'm going to smash it and ask an expert to verify its authenticity. Mr. Braided said triumphantly, as if he had discovered some great secret.

Then, he picked up the Buddha statue and threw it directly to the ground. With a muffled bang, the Buddha statue broke apart in response, and the head and body rosette split into three parts, making the audience below feel a tightness in their hearts.

"Hum—"

At this moment, Lin Fan's eyes suddenly lit up, and at the moment when the Buddha statue fell to the ground, he suddenly sensed a hidden fluctuation coming from the Buddha statue, which was similar to the fluctuation of spiritual power.

Lin Fan instantly emitted spiritual power and scanned towards the Buddha statue that was divided into three pieces, and then his eyes were firmly fixed on the base of the lotus platform. Because, inside the base of the lotus platform, he sensed a huge spiritual power.

It's just that this huge spiritual power is just pure spiritual power, without the slightest consciousness existence, as if someone has condensed the huge spiritual power together, forming a white light mass the size of a finger.

However, that huge spiritual power only fluctuated for a moment when the base of the lotus platform fell to the ground, and then fell silent again, if it wasn't for Lin Fan just here, I'm afraid no one would find out.

"Okay, let's ask three experts to jointly identify this gilded bronze Buddha statue and see if it is real or fake." The people of Jizhenkan picked up the Buddha statue that was divided into three parts and placed it in front of the three experts.

Tao Daolin, Yu Guohua and Chen Qingyou all put on white gloves, and then each picked up a part of the Buddha statue and looked at it seriously, and used a magnifying glass to observe the subtleties on it, and then the three of them exchanged views with each other.

"This gentleman is not wrong, the gilded bronze Buddha statues in the Sixteen Kingdoms period of the Han Dynasty are basically relatively small, and it is rare to see such a tall Buddha statue. For example, in January 1989, a copper cash tree was unearthed from the cliff tomb of the late Han Dynasty in Hejiashan, Mianyang.

There are 5 Buddha statues cast on the trunk, each one is 6.5 centimeters high, there is a horizontal oval light behind the head, there is a meat bun on the top of the head, the eyes are slightly engaged, the ears are larger, the upper lip has a mustache, wear through the shoulder robe, the right hand is fearless and imprinted, the left hand is fist-holding, the Buddha robe droops down and falls into the shape of "U", wraps around the wrist, hangs in front of the foot, it is the earliest bronze Buddha statue found in the era of our country. ”

Chen Qingyou first put down the items in his hand and nodded to the other two, and then looked at everyone and spoke slowly.

In addition, the shape of the Buddha statue is different in different periods, and when we make a judgment on the shape of a Buddha statue, we can start from the characteristics of the shape of the Buddha statue itself.

In the Northern Dynasty (after the Northern Wei Dynasty), the head of the Buddha statue is a bowl-type cover, with a long face and thin face, a high nose and big ears, closed eyes and concentrating, a clear face, a high forehead bun, a spiral type, a robe, and a right shoulder. Some sit cross-legged, some sit cross-legged with their palms facing up.

The Buddha seat is either a Sumeru seat with a short waist or a 4-legged square seat. Some of the heads are light, and some of the backlights behind them are all pointed, and the surrounding areas are made of flame patterns. Another significant feature of the statue of the Northern Wei Dynasty is that the main Buddha is often 1 to 2 Bodhisattvas on both sides, mostly in a standing posture.

In the Sui and Tang dynasties, the bronze statue was tied with a lotus crown on his head, his face was round, his cheeks were fat, his forehead was high, he was dressed in a monk's branch, he was draped in a robe, and he wore a pleated skirt under his wide coat, hanging down on his feet. Under the seat there is a double-layer 4-legged high bed or a single-layer 4-legged bed, and the neck or backlight is a thicker pointed frieze.

The bronze Buddha statues of the Song Dynasty are mostly Bodhisattva statues, some with high hair buns, fat faces and pointed bottoms, and tall and long figures. Some legs are arched and fallen, the left arm is placed on the arched leg, and the right hand is hung down and pressed flat on the seat.

The dress is slightly pleated and falls behind the legs, with the left hand crossed over the leg and the right hand stretched forward on the abdomen. Wearing a tassel, sitting on a thin waist round seat with two layers of lotus flowers. In the Song Dynasty, there was a bronze statue of Fuxian Manjushri Guanyin, sitting on a rectangular four-legged seat or on the back of a lion-backed lion. ”

Lin Fan listened, but his gaze kept falling on the lotus platform base, and he was thinking about a way, how to get that lotus platform base, because he believed that the huge spiritual power inside this lotus platform base was very useful to him.

"That's right, the three of us have synthesized it, and we can tell you for sure that most of this gilded bronze Buddha statue from the Sixteen Kingdoms period of the Han Dynasty is fake." Subsequently, Tao Daolin commented on behalf of the three experts.

"Wait a minute, experts, if this thing is real, if it is fake, if it is fake, how can most of it be fake?" As soon as he said this, Mr. Braided Zhu interrupted Tao Daolin and asked.

"Please don't worry, Mr. Zhu, I was about to explain this matter. I believe that other audience friends will also have such doubts, why do we say that most of this gilded bronze Buddha statue is fake?

That's because part of it is true, that is, its lotus platform base, which has been unanimously determined by the three of us to be indeed a craft of the Sixteen Kingdoms period of the Han Dynasty.

Everyone may wonder why this is happening. We have researched and determined that this gilded bronze Buddha statue was recast from the base of the original Buddha statue from the Sixteen Kingdoms period, which means that the body part of the Buddha statue was processed later. Tao Daolin explained unhurriedly, making everyone suddenly realize.

"Wait, experts, what are we going to do about it? As you have heard, if it is fake, then I can return the money I paid for it, and I can also pick an equivalent collection for free. If it's true, I'm going to pay double the price. So, what do we do now? Mr. Braided Zhu asked with a frown.

"To be honest, this is the first time we've encountered this situation. Therefore, we think that this matter should be discussed between Mr. Zhu and Jizhenkan. The three experts glanced at each other, all a little helpless, Yu Guohua smiled and said to both parties.

"Since some of this gilded bronze Buddha statue is real, then we are willing to take a step back. We can refund Mr. Zhu the full price of this collection, but Mr. Zhu will not be able to pick another collection of the same value for free. The middle-aged man from the Jizhen Pavilion nodded.

"Then does this Buddha statue belong to mine or yours?" Mr. Braided Zhu rolled his eyes, and then asked.

"What? Mr. Zhu is still willing to collect this gilded bronze Buddha statue? But it's been broken by you, do you expect it to bless you? The middle-aged man joked.

"Hehe, I'll just ask." Mr. Zhu dismissed other ideas and agreed to return his money.

"Wait a minute, is this Buddha statue still for sale?" At this moment, a voice sounded in the audience below, but it was Lin Fan who stood up and asked.

"Lin Fan, this gilded bronze Buddha statue has been broken, what are you still buying it for?" Tao Jingjing gently pulled Lin Fan's hand and reminded in a whisper beside her.

"Fourth, aren't you panicking because you have a lot of money? What else is a broken Buddha statue for? If you want to buy a Buddha statue, there are other shapes over there, so why should this one be damaged? Wang Biao was also on the side to stop him.

"I think the fourth child has a lot of money and has nowhere to spend." Zhou Xiaolin also muttered.

"Little brother, are you a student of Professor Tao? This Buddha statue has been broken, and according to the rules, we can't sell it anymore. The middle-aged man looked at Lin Fan, then shook his head and said.

"That's right, my grandfather liked to collect all kinds of Buddha statues the most. Although this Buddha statue is half-true and half-false, the shape is also very unique, which belongs to a relatively rare kind and still has a certain collection value.

As for saying that the Buddha statue has been broken, it doesn't matter, because my grandfather knew some people who could repair the Buddha statue, and he would definitely find someone to repair the Buddha statue. Therefore, it should also be a merit to ask the boss to cut the love and save this Buddha statue from being discarded. Lin Fan said to the middle-aged man unhurriedly.

"If that's the case, I can sell the Buddha statue to you. However, the base of the Buddha statue is real, so we still have to charge at least 100,000 Chinese dollars. The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then looked at Lin Fan again, and felt that he was very sincere, so he nodded and asked for a price.

"No problem."

Lin Fan immediately went over and took over the three parts of the Buddha statue from the middle-aged man, and then went to transfer the money with a service staff called by the middle-aged man. Wang Biao and Zhou Xiaolin also went with Lin Fan, but what people didn't expect was that Tao Jingjing also followed.

"Fourth, you really spent 100,000 yuan to buy this tattered Buddha statue." After seeing that Lin Fan had successfully transferred the money and received the invoice, Zhou Xiaolin glared and sighed.

"Yes, Lin Fan, can your grandfather really find someone to repair the Buddha statue?" Tao Jingjing asked.

"Actually, I lied to them, my grandfather has died. It's just that he really liked Buddha statues very much during his lifetime, and he carved a lot of Buddha statues in our hometown.

As for the fact that I bought this Buddha statue, it is because I once read an article on the Internet, which tells a story about a Buddha statue of the same kind, and only the bottom lotus platform of the Buddha statue is real, and in the lotus platform, there is also a Dharma preaching map.

I remember that the picture posted in that article was exactly the same as the lotus platform on the base of this Buddha statue, so I wondered if there was something hidden inside the base lotus platform of this Buddha statue. Of course, Lin Fan didn't read any articles on the Internet, just made up a story at random. >
