Chapter 671: North Korean Buddha Statue

Jin Muchen was very satisfied, Junichi Watanabe felt extremely honored, and at this time, the Korean was crying and mourning, watching Jin Muchen keep watching, playing with the two bronze Buddha statues in front of him.

When the two bronze Buddha statues arrived in front of him, Jin Muchen was even more able to feel the extraordinaryness of these two Buddha statues.

The shape is very prominent and distinctive, neither the traditional Japanese Buddha model, nor the traditional Chinese Buddha model, and the Buddha statues in Southeast Asia and India are also very distinct.

The most important thing is that these two Buddha statues are not the kind of fakes created by counterfeiters by speculation, and the jewels flashing on the two Buddha statues also show that these two Buddha statues are real guys, not fakes.

In this way, these two Buddha statues can only be produced in another country where Buddhism is prevalent, and this country is now North and South Korea, but it is still impossible to determine which country produced them.

But one thing is certain, these two Buddha statues must have come from the Korean Peninsula, and it is always true.

In Northeast Asia, there are three countries that believe in Buddhism, one is China, and the other two are Japan and South Korea, and the images of Buddhism on these three countries, and it can even be said that Japan and South Korea have received more profound images than China.

Buddhism was introduced to the Korean Peninsula from China in the fourth century AD, when Korea had not yet completed its true unification and was still in the period of the Three Kingdoms.

At that time, the Korean Peninsula was the period when the three kingdoms of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla were established, and during that period, Buddhism in the Korean treasure island can be said to be completely influenced by the image of China.

The specifications of the Buddha statues enshrined in their temples are also completely in the style of Buddha statues from the Wei and Jin dynasties and the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

And by the seventh century A.D. Silla united with the Tang Dynasty, destroyed Goguryeo and Baekje, and completed the unification of the Korean Peninsula, at that time, Buddhism on the Korean Peninsula was still deeply influenced by the Buddhist tradition of the Tang Dynasty.

In particular, the statues of the Buddha enshrined in the temple are almost entirely based on the Buddha statues of the Tang Dynasty. And later, it was from that time that the Buddha statues of the Korean Peninsula began to follow their own path.

began to gradually get rid of the image of the Buddhist statues of the Tang Dynasty and began to form its own line.

However, although their Buddha statues are separated from the images of Buddhist statues in the Tang Dynasty, they are still not separated from the influence of Buddhist statues in Chinese mainland.

Among them, the most profound image of Korean Buddhist statues is the Buddha statue in the temple in Cheongju area of Lu Province, which can almost be said to be the ancestor of Buddhist statues on the Korean Peninsula.

In the late Wei and Jin dynasties, especially after the Jin dynasty moved south. The development of Buddha statues and Buddhism in Lu Province is in its own vein, even after the establishment of Li Tang, Buddhism and Buddha statues here are very different from other parts of the country.

One of the two most basic features is that the clothing decoration of the Buddha statue here is one of the few Buddha statues with a V-shaped collar or a U-shaped collar.

The second is that the lotus petal-covered pillar at the foot of the Buddha statue here is basically separated.

These two characteristics have been preserved in the statues of the Buddha on the Korean Peninsula in the later period. Even if the statue of the Buddha in Qingzhou, Lu Province has been improved several times, it no longer has such characteristics. However, the Buddhist statues of the Buddha on the Korean Peninsula still retain such characteristics and customs.

These two characteristics are the most obvious differences from the Buddha statues made in China.

The characteristics of the two Buddha statues in front of me are very obvious, and the collars are V-shaped and U-shaped collars respectively, which can be said to be the most significant feature.

And another focus of Jin Muchen's attention is. These two Buddha statues do not have a pillar covered with lotus petals underneath, which is not in accordance with the regulations.

Because if these two Buddha statues are genuine, then there will definitely be a lotus petal pillar below, a real Buddha statue in the past, even if there is no lotus petal bare back is not afraid. Because some Buddha statues just don't have such a bare back, but if there is no such lotus petal pillar underneath, it is too wrong.

No matter what period it is, the statue of the Buddha in any country, there must be a pillar covered with lotus petals below, China, Japan, South Korea, it is all the same, unless it is a very special Buddha statue, such as a reclining Buddha, or an Arhat, if it is the kind of Buddha enshrined in a serious temple, or a Bodhisattva, if there is no pillar covered with lotus petals below, it is not allowed to be put on the table at all.

But the two Buddha statues in front of me, one standing and the other sitting Buddha, but there are no lotus petal pillars, which means that these two things have been taken away, or the store deliberately did not take out these two things.

After Jin Muchen took a closer look, he was sure that the two Buddha statues must be genuine, and then asked the shopkeeper with a smile: "Boss, you don't have all this thing, there should be a pillar underneath, where is your pillar?" ”

Jin Muchen spoke English, and the stall owner didn't know if he really didn't understand it, or if he was deliberately pretending to be stupid, anyway, he didn't react to Jin Muchen's words at all.

Junichi Watanabe here can't stand it anymore, since he has made up his mind to be a qualified dogleg, how can he let the master worry about this.

The damn North Korean on the other side is actually pretending to be stupid, what the hell, don't you want to live?

"Baga, you bastard, dead and dead?"

Watanabe scolded, and then he didn't care about the current venue, and stepped forward to slap seven or eight big slaps, but this time the North Korean boss was stunned.

There was a burst of blush on his face, and Junichi Watanabe suddenly made a move, obviously angering him.

Not only was the boss enraged, but even the surrounding Japanese were stunned, and everyone was originally surprised and upset by what happened here, and some even took out their phones to call the police.

The security guard at the other end of the venue also noticed the movement here, and quickly rushed over three guys in uniform, but before they could get to the front, a dozen guys in black suits and sunglasses came up from behind.

The clothes on these guys are uniform, but the hairstyle is more exaggerated than the other, and the leader is a guy with a ponytail, although he is not very tall, but his face is full of fierceness, and a scar under the corner of his eye extends from the corner of his eye to the corner of his mouth, which looks extremely hideous and scary.

This person just stood in front, and a few guys around him immediately reached out to branch the few security guards who rushed over, and the other guys with yellow hair and purple hair pulled out baseball bats one by one from nowhere, pointing at a few other people who were holding phones and were going to call the police.

When these people saw such a situation, they were dumbfounded, obviously they didn't expect to meet the rampant here.

And these mobs, at first glance, are not ordinary mobs, at first glance, they are members of the B society who were born in Yakuza, which is different from the ordinary street mobs, but they are not ordinary Japanese people who dare to provoke.

A few women who were about to call the police immediately obediently put down the phone in their hands, and the security guards lowered their heads and didn't dare to say anything, and they didn't even have the courage to take a step forward.

At this time, the North Korean stall owner, when he saw this situation, the fist in his hand was tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened, and after several struggles in his heart, he could only bow his head helplessly and sigh.

"Yaga, don't you want to take out the rest of the things?"

Watanabe was quite satisfied with the other party's soft attitude, if the other party continued to fight against him, he didn't mind letting this guy's blood splash on the spot, anyway, this guy was a North Korean, let alone beating him, even if he was killed, the police wouldn't do anything to him.

This is the most fucked up part of the Japanese police, if the murder that happens in their homeland, if it involves the Japanese, or the foreign adults they need to be treated carefully, especially the white-skinned foreign adults, then the police will definitely pay attention to it and handle the case seriously.

But if it involves the murder of North Koreans, or Chinese, or Southeast Asian ethnicity, or those from South America, those police will not care at all, at best, they will come to make a record, and then go back and put the information on the shelf, and no one is willing to really investigate and handle the case.

So Junichi Watanabe was not afraid of what would happen to him if he asked for the life of this North Korean.

Anyway, if their family can gain a foothold in Shinjuku, Tokyo, they must have a very deep relationship with the police station.

The North Korean hesitated again and again, and finally pulled out a cardboard box from behind the curtain under the booth, and then pushed the cardboard box in front of Jin Muchen.

Jin Muchen didn't pay attention to him, but opened the carton with a smile, and sure enough, the two lotus-covered pillars were just placed in the carton.

He carefully took out the two pillars covered with lotus petals from the box, and then pressed them one by one at the feet of the two Buddha statues, just right.

There is a clear difference between the face of these two Buddha statues and the ancient Chinese Buddha statues, the face of the Chinese Buddha statues pays attention to the roundness and plumpness, the solemn appearance, or the kindness and kindness, and the face of these two Buddha statues is relatively thin, the expression is also quiet and introverted, and the lotus petal pillar under the foot is also higher than the lotus petal pillar at the foot of the Buddha statue in China, and it is more thin, all these characteristics have shown that these two Buddha statues should be produced in the Korean Peninsula bronze Buddha statue, and look at the shape, It should be from the Silla Dynasty.
