"Well, but how can we tell that this is ancient glass? I have also seen ancient glass, most of them should be small and delicate things such as beads, and many times it should be in the shape of jewelry, and it is unlikely that they should be made into zuò mirrors. You must know that the glass is not very transparent, and there are many colors, which cannot be reflected at all. He Zhiyuan joined the discussion.

"Well, it's a little weird." Jiang Yuan agreed: "Ancient mirrors were generally made of copper, because although the surface of copper mirrors will become dull and dull after a long time, they can be re-polished to restore their original brilliance. Other metals are not so convenient, and I have never heard of a glass mirror, unless it is ......"

"Unless what?" Xu Guang hurriedly asked.

Next to him, Han Chong listened attentively, and his face also showed curiosity.

"Unless, this is not a mirror for ordinary people to groom up, but a magic mirror." Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

"Magic Mirror?"

Xu Guang didn't understand. Han Chong picked up the leak just now because of the brilliance of Jiaolong's feedback, more, in fact, he was not very sure, and he was more interested in Jiang Yuan's words.

"Brother Jiang, can you be specific?"

Jiang Yuan said with a smile: "The magic mirror, which is also the so-called feng shui magic weapon. After all, in ancient times, mirrors not only had the function of organizing instruments, but also had other special meanings. For example, town houses, evil spirits, and so on. I have a friend who studies Feng Shui and he told me about ritual instruments. So I know somewhat. ”

"I think of it, this is what the demon mirror in the Romance of the Gods looks like." Xu Guang suddenly shouted.

"Yes, I remember that there was also a mirror hanging at the gate of my hometown. Every house has similar mirrors, and those mirrors are similar in shape to this one. ”

At this time, Xu Guang noticed that the mirror in Han Chong's hand was not the most common round shape. Rather, like the stone box, it forms a regular gossip form.

This reminded Han Chong of the gossip needle under the water in his hometown, the Five Snake Array. It also seems to have the meaning of feng shui layout, which affects the whole body.

"Han Chong, I know a friend in Australia, he is studying this, why don't we go to his place to have a look?"

"Okay."

Han Chong also wanted to know what this mirror was, he always felt that this mirror was not simple, and he hadn't missed it for so long. If you can pick up a leak this time, that's not bad.

When I arrived at a villa, Jiang Yuan had greeted him before, and an old man was at the door.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuan was still so powerful in Australia, and Han Chong admired Jiang Yuan even more for a while.

After Jiang Yuan introduced Han Chong, this old man's surname was Qian, and his name was Qian Rushui.

There is a good temperament on the body, the kind that is windy in all directions.

"Come on. Come on in. ”

Qian Rushui brought Han Chong and his party in, brewed a pot of tea on the balcony, and handed everyone a cup.

Basking in the sun. Qian Rushui and Jiang Yuan hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they naturally exchanged pleasantries.

After chatting for a while, Qian Rushui said to Han Chong, "Young man." I heard that you missed a feng shui artifact, so show me something. ”

Lao Qian heard Jiang Yuan say that this was a feng shui magic weapon from the phone, and he was also a little curious. That's why he asked about Han Chong.

Han Chong took out the ancient mirror.

Reached. After receiving the glass mirror handed by Han Chong, he first looked at the mirror, and saw that the surface of the glass was still brilliant and dazzling, and it was brilliant, and there was no fading at all.

Sure enough, this is the real glass, which will never change color for thousands of years. Unlike the water glass on the market, it will begin to fade after only a year or two, and the longer it is, the more it looks like plastic, and there is no crystal clear feeling at all.

The most important thing is that the texture of this layer of glass is very strong, even if it is mixed with a variety of colors, it is still so crystal clear, and it feels smooth, without the sluggishness of crystal and glass.

After appreciating the glass of the mirror, the old money feels that there seem to be many ornaments on the back of the mirror, which is very beautiful, the old money called can't help but look at it lightly, for a moment, only to see a crouching unicorn carved in the center of the mirror back, the four corners of the mirror body are turtles, dragons, phoenixes and tigers, and the four corners correspond to the gossip, and the gossip is set up outside the twelve Chen Xiao.

However, despite all the carvings in this space of seven or eight inches, the back of the mirror does not appear disorganized, but very orderly, and the patterns of various creatures are clearly visible and lifelike.

It's like a master's handiwork!

Lao Qian also found that in a place other than the four elephant gossip and twelve zodiac signs, that is, on the outline of the mirror, there were twenty-four characters written on it. In his opinion, these characters are very similar to official scripts, with clear dots, but they are obviously not modern characters.

"This is indeed a feng shui instrument." Old money smiled,

"Brother Jiang, look at what this word is." Qian Rushui raised his hand and asked Jiang Yuan to come over and read the words.

Jiang Yuan spent a long time there and discovered the mystery in it, although he didn't know those words, Jiang Yuan could be sure that his judgment was correct.

"Well, it's really a feng shui magic mirror, a bit like the four gods and twelve zodiac mirrors. However, it has one more unicorn button than the four gods and twelve zodiac mirrors, as well as the direction of the eight trigrams, and twenty-four words. ”

"Four Gods Zodiac Mirror!" Qian Rushui suddenly said, "This is the Tang Mirror, a very precious ancient mirror." ”

"At present, the ancient mirrors of the Warring States, Han Dynasty and Tang Dynasty are the most exquisite and collectible. However, the ancient mirror of the Tang Dynasty, in a certain way, is an imitation of the Han mirror. For example, the four gods and twelve zodiac mirrors of the Tang Dynasty are actually imitations of the specifications and shapes of the Han Dynasty divine beast mirror, and then developed and improved on the basis of the divine beast mirror. The two are also in the same vein. ”

"I'm more curious about what these words are. Qian Lao, can you tell us about it? ”

Han Chong asked humbly.

"You stinky boy, you really don't have any eyesight. Didn't you see that I didn't read it for a long time just now, didn't you expose it to me and ridicule me for being uneducated? ”

Although Qian Rushui said that this was an ancient mirror, he did study this text for a long time just now, but he was also disappointed in the final result, that is, he didn't know what the text on it was.

I just feel like a book, but the strokes here are not modern characters at all. Can't tell.

"Isn't it, you don't even know Qian Lao?" Xu Guang was even more surprised. "Brother Han Chong, take a look, this treasure was leaked by you, you should be able to know what this text is, right?"

Where can Han Chong know, "I didn't see these words when I picked them up." “

He'd seen it a long time ago. But he really didn't know.

"I'll take a look again, and although I don't know each other, I feel familiar."

Qian Rushui took the magic weapon again, and he carefully studied the twenty-four words on the outline of the mirror, and after seeing it, he went to the bookshelf and looked through a few books for comparison.

After going back and forth a few times, Qian Rushui's frowning brows relaxed, and he actually saw the content of the text.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is the symbol of the 24 solar terms."

"Isn't it? Twenty-four solar terms. Then Qian Lao, do you mean that this word represents a solar term? ”

"yes, what's strange about that."

"After all, this is ancient classical Chinese, not modern vernacular. Classical Chinese pays attention to the so-called subtle meaning, and each word contains many layers of meaning. ”

"The meaning of classical Chinese is very diverse, and each character will change in the process of evolution. It will be prescribed at a specific time. Therefore, there will be a distinction between seal script, official script, and regular script. And when it comes to evolution, there are also many words that are repeated, and everyone only uses one as the standard. Others that are not used have become so-called variants. ”

Everyone nodded again and again, understanding the meaning of money like water, perhaps the twenty-four words on the back of the mirror belong to this situation.

"No matter. Even if it is. Then this Tang Dynasty feng shui glazed vessel must be very valuable, I want to take a photo, this is the first meaningful antique I have encountered in my life. ”

Xu Guang grinned, took out his mobile phone and slapped it at the back of the mirror. Then he flipped the mirror over, raised it slightly, and continued to take pictures with a click.

This kid loves to shine. He must have thought about exposing this treasure, and others thought that he had picked it up, and they would suddenly think that he was very tasteful.

Wrong....

When Xu Guang changed his angle, Han Chong frowned imperceptibly, because under the observation of his special ability, the purple flame of the East and West Treasure Light rose, which was even more blazing than the sun, which showed that the age of this mirror was very old, and it must have surpassed that of the Tang Dynasty.

Isn't this from the Tang Dynasty? Qian Lao misjudged?

"The ancient mirror of the Tang Dynasty roughly has the four gods and twelve zodiac patterns, the grape pattern of the beast, the pattern of flowers and birds, the pattern of the Rui pattern, the mirror of the fairy figure, the pattern of the dragon, the pattern of the eight trigrams, the pattern of ten thousand characters, etc...... This mirror should be a combination of the four gods and twelve zodiac patterns and the eight trigram patterns. ”

Jiang Yuan and He Zhiyuan were still discussing on the side.

Han Chong was a little confused. However, at this time, the brilliance of the dragon shows that the antiquities were in the Tang Dynasty, and even before the Tang Dynasty, but they could not clearly give the age, as Qian Lao said, he also thought that this thing was the Tang Dynasty's feng shui instrument, and the royal family of the Tang Dynasty respected Taoism the most, regarded Laozi Li Er as an ancestor, and most likely ordered the craftsman to burn such a glass mirror.

After all, the firing technology of colored glass is only in the hands of the royal family, and judging from the shape and decoration of the back of the mirror, it is clearly a Taoist feng shui mirror.

If he didn't have special abilities, hearing Qian Rushui's reasoning and what he saw, Han Chong would really think that this was the glass magic mirror of the Tang Dynasty.

However, the light emitted by the ability definitely shows that this thing is more aged, but what is the problem, and how to prove that this thing was before the Tang Dynasty.

…… Thinking of this, Han Chong subconsciously looked at the glass mirror. At this moment, he saw a miraculous phenomenon, which made his gaze freeze for a while. At the same time, Xu Guang also finished taking the photo and was about to put down his hand holding the mirror. As soon as his hand moved, the magical situation that Han Chong saw swayed.

At the right time, Han Chong was anxious, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't move!" ”

"Huh?"

Xu Guang was stunned, and only after half a sound did he say in a daze: "What's wrong?" ”

"Hold the mirror up and look at the ground." Han Chong was very surprised by what he saw......

But even more surprised than Han Chong was Xu Guang, Xu Guang blinked, although he was confused, but he still followed Han Chong's instructions, held the mirror in his hand high, and then looked down at the ground. "Big brother, what are you going to do?"

"No, don't move yet!"

Because Xu Guang is behind the light, the light is very sufficient, shining on the crystal clear glass mirror, naturally reflecting a brilliant colorful brilliance.

"Look at the ground."

At this moment, Han Chong's words, no one paid attention to the rainbow light above, but lowered their heads to pay attention to the shadow on the ground. In an instant, several people saw a very unusual scene, which made them dumbfounded, dumbfounded, and in disbelief.

At this time, I saw the mirror reflected in the shadow of the ground, and the patterns such as unicorn, turtle, dragon, phoenix and tiger, gossip symbols, and zodiac signs clearly appeared, including the twenty-four words, all of which were delicate and meticulous.

After a long time, Qian Rushui sighed and came back to his senses, which was a gentle exclamation: "The translucent mirror ......"

"What, this is the legendary translucent mirror?" Xu Guang came to his senses, and the hand holding the mirror retracted, the mirror was not illuminated by light, and the pattern and text on the back of the mirror were no longer presented.

"That's right, it's a translucent mirror."

Qian Rushui's eyes were full of excitement and surprise, and he sighed softly: "Similar to this kind of translucent mirror, I once saw one in a museum in the capital, and it is also the only translucent mirror I know. Unexpectedly, there is another translucent mirror in the world, and the ornamental pattern is more complex and exquisite. ”

"In other words, this is the Han Mirror, not the Tang Mirror." Han Chong said with a smile, after all, he had already made mental preparations in advance, so he naturally wouldn't be so shocked.

"That's right." Qian Rushui groaned, nodded slowly, and said: "This kind of translucent mirror, according to research, was developed in the middle and late Western Han Dynasty, but after the Han Dynasty, the technology of making mirrors was lost. Later, Shen Kuo of the Northern Song Dynasty recorded this in Mengxi's writings, and studied the principle of its system. ”

However, Mengxi Pen Tan had no influence at that time, and it was a miscellaneous book that was not valued by scholars. Even if someone reads this article, at most they sigh that there are such good things in the world, but no one has ever wanted to re-develop the translucent lens according to the principle. Therefore, in general, unless it is a modern fake, the translucent lens is a thing of the Han Dynasty. ”

Modern fakes, this sentence is unstable for everyone!

However, Han Chong is very sure that this brilliance, this real sense of existence has long shown that this thing is not a fake.

"Old Qian, your worries are superfluous, of course this thing can't be a modern fake, we have all appreciated it."

"That's right, so, this translucent mirror is a treasure of the Han Dynasty."

"It's a leak, it's still a big leak."

"Han Chong, you are too powerful!"

He Zhiyuan, Jiang Yuan, and Tu Yuwei all knew that Han Chong was not an ordinary person, and Xu Guang and Qian Rushui gave a thumbs up to Han Chong's cousin. (To be continued......)
