Chapter 83: Tibetan Buddha

(If you are a member, please like the chapter you like, so that Lao Wu can know which chapter everyone is comfortable to read)-"Said that the people in the entire ghost market yesterday morning knew that Feng Cheng had received a half-human-high Buddha statue, and I also said to see how he sold it, who would be deceived by him." Who would have thought that such an outsider like you would happen to be on the stall. ”

"How much did you buy this?"

As soon as Pang Hong spoke, he felt a little reckless in asking, people are here to send treasures, how can they say the reserve price, and he said for a while.

"I mean, you didn't spend too much money on this thing, and I don't have to look at it, you just move it away."

Han Chong is a foreigner, and it is not realistic to ask someone to come out to "smash the pulp". Besides, the general industry is not very in favor of buying and returning, in case you miss it, it will be fine, and if you lose money, you will smash the pulp, which obviously does not make sense.

Han Chong knew Pang Hong's kindness, but he felt that there was a glance at this Buddha statue, and it was the people in the local circle who knew Feng Cheng's personality that he missed such a treasure, and he could pick it out. It's just that Han Chong didn't want to talk about the mechanism of this Buddha statue at the moment, and he wanted to ask the shopkeeper to take a look.

"This senior, the younger generation received this Buddha statue, and it was not for people to accept it, I didn't know what kind of person he Boss Feng was before, but I just thought this Buddha statue was not bad, you should help me take a look, right?"

Seeing that Han Chong didn't shed tears when he didn't see the coffin, Pang Hong sighed, but still respected Han Chong and walked in front of the Buddha statue.

Looking at this Buddha statue, Pang Hong's brows furrowed suddenly, it turned out that he looked at Han Chong's tenacious eyes, could it be that this Buddha statue really has a bit of a saying, but I think it is because I am too worried.

Shaking his head, Pang Hong had no idea of continuing to study deeply, and sighed and said, "Young man, this thing is not a good thing, a typical imitation. ”

"Huh? Imitations? ”

Han Chong didn't think so, because the huge master only looked at it so casually, and he definitely couldn't find the mystery in it!

Seeing that Han Chong still didn't give up, Pang Hong opened the skylight and said something bright.

"Young man, this Buddha statue is a high-relief type, the Han legend Maitreya, its boat-shaped bare back, Maitreya three are juxtaposed together, and the lotus platform bears a four-legged square library."

"I know, what's wrong with that?" Han Chong humbly asked for advice, and Han Chong really didn't know much about the Buddha statue.

Seeing Han Chong's eyes wide and looking at him, Pang Hong was satisfied with this young man's humble attitude, and he didn't mind clearing Han Chong's illiteracy.

Turning the Buddha statue around for a while, Pang Hong pointed to an inconspicuous place at the bottom of the back. "That's fine. But do you see it, there are a few words here. ”

Han Chong took a look at it, and indeed, the words Taiping Zhenjun five years were engraved on the back.

Taiping Zhenjun is the name of the Northern Wei Dynasty Taiwu Emperor Tuoba Tao, he reigned for eleven years, Han Chong was a little impressed.

Pang Hong said, "The Buddha statue of each era has its characteristics, and the inscription of these words on the base of this Buddha statue means that this Buddha statue is from the Northern Wei Dynasty." The Buddha statues in the Northern Wei Dynasty were relatively tall and large, with stretched proportions and strong strength, which was also influenced by the Buddha statues of the Han Dynasty. But these characteristics are not seen on your Buddha statue at all. ”

"Again." Pang Hong paused and added. "The flame pattern on the Buddha statue is also a place to study. The flame pattern on the Buddha statue in the early years of the Northern Wei Dynasty is characterized by thinness, twisting and circling and powerful, and the ornamentation on the Buddha statue you bought back is a very common auspicious cloud shape later, and you can find that there is no anger at all between these auspicious clouds tumbling, which is definitely not the Buddha statue of the Northern Wei Dynasty should be presented. ”

"Oh." Han Chong nodded again and again, and was seen through by the other party that it was a fake, and Han Chong should be depressed. But in fact, he was not sad at all, because from the very beginning, Han Chong knew that the empty shell outside this Buddha statue was not worth anything.

"Senior, can I ask more, do we need to pay attention to anything about appreciating Buddha statues?"

Pang Hong only felt that Han Chong was strange, and his inquiring gaze made it difficult for Pang Hong to refuse now.

Smiling, Pang Hong planned to teach Han Chong a little fur.

"Young man, I see that you are quite interested in Buddha statues, so I will say a few more words. Also be prepared for you to pay tuition fees later. ”

"Yes." Han Chong pricked up his ears in anticipation.

Pang Hong nodded, in Qi Lao's place, he was a student, and he was suddenly able to be so worshiped by a young man, and he was also happy in his heart.

"Young man, there are several important components of the Buddha statue itself that you need to know; Seats, mounts, platforms, backlights, etc. These parts form a complete system with the Buddha statue at the beginning of the statue, and I just said that the backlight, and the Buddha statue generally has a pedestal. ”

"In fact, there is a lot to be done on the pedestal. The early Buddha statues are all four-legged square seats, and on this basis, there is a girdle on this basis, and some pattern decorations are added, which have lotus petal patterns, and then over time, they have developed into today's lotus seats. The most common pedestal of the Buddha statue is the lotus seat, and the lotus seat is an important component of the Buddha statue, it symbolizes auspiciousness and purity, out of the mud without staining, is one of the eight treasures of Buddhism. ”

Lotus Sumeru, Han Chong often heard it in the mouth of Brother Li and Brother Qian in the Hidden Treasure Zhai, and nodded approvingly.

But with the development of history, the lotus seat has its own evolution, take the Buddha statue of the Northern Dynasty in the Wei and Jin dynasties, the lotus seat it sits on, generally speaking, the part of the lotus flesh inside will protrude high, forming a table. The lotus petals belong to the full and powerful kind, and each petal is composed of two oval spherical protrusions together; But to Liang and Northern Qi, there is a lotus sitting, the Buddha stands on the top of the three layers of covered lotus, the upper two layers of the lotus are two halves, the assistant Bodhisattva behind him stands on the double layer of the lotus, the Buddha on the left and right sides of the Veda and a Bodhisattva all stand on the double layer of the lotus. These lotuses are simple and full, with outward tilting tips. ”

"The Yang Lotus Seat immediately appeared in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Yang Lotus gradually occupied a more important position than the Covered Lotus. By the Sui and Tang dynasties, it had become very common for the Buddha to sit on a double- or three-tiered lotus seat, and the traditional form of the lotus was also preserved. It was not until later that Yanglian occupied a more important position in the Buddha statue. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the lotus petals began to have complex decorations again. ”

Pang Hong spoke endlessly, and Han Chong was thrilled when he heard it.

Unexpectedly, in just a while, Pang Hong was able to explain the development of the Buddha statue to himself so thoroughly.

Han Chong really felt that he had benefited a lot, and from what Pang Hong said, Han Chong also saw that the rosette of his Buddha statue was full of loopholes.

If he had known this before, it would be impossible for Han Chong to see this Buddha statue for the first time.

After speaking, Pang Hong took a sip of water, only to realize that he had been talking to a young man he had never known for so long.

I'm also a little embarrassed to return to the main topic. "Okay, young man, I've talked a lot to you, all in all, your Buddha statue is very problematic, and you're eye-catching."

Judging from Pang Hong's outstanding appreciation skills, Han Chong knew that the old man who did not move to appreciate it was even more powerful.

Moreover, Han Chong may not feel that the huge master cannot see the mystery of this Buddha statue.

At the very least, he hasn't really scrutinized it.

Han Chong smiled. Because when I bought the treasure before, I was blocked by Feng Cheng, and I didn't see the entrance too clearly. At this time, Han Chong was thinking about finding the key to the problem, naturally, attracting Pang Hong's attention to that place and asking the expert to help him identify the things inside was Han Chong's ultimate goal.
