As soon as they returned to the capital, Fang Yong and Cheng Jiahe couldn't wait to come to Kang Lao's house and let Kang Lao also enjoy the patch of this moon shadow lamp. Although Fang Yong had already seen the usefulness of these patches from the historical images on the patches, in order to give the Cheng family a reasonable explanation, he had to trouble the master.

After saying hello, Fang Yong and Cheng Jiahe sat on the sofa.

Kang Lao's gaze turned to the handbag in Fang Yong's hand, so he asked with a smile, "Xiao Yong, what good treasure did you find this time!" ”

"Master, you are so good, you guessed correctly." Fang Yong took out these stickers as he spoke. While holding it, he said: "This was found in Mizhou, Changwei City, I feel like it is a patch on the moon shadow lamp, Master, you can help me take a look!" ”

"Yo! Moonshadow light patches? You'll have to take a look. Kang Lao smiled slightly.

Fang Yong combined the outlined autumn hunting maps in order and said, "Master, look! ”

"Autumn hunting map of He Yuan in the Ming Dynasty!" Kang Lao blurted out.

After Kang Lao finished speaking, he picked up one of the patches and observed it carefully, thinking about it in his heart.

"It's really a moonlight lantern!" After picking up those patches in turn and watching them, Kang Lao said to Fang Yong and Cheng Jiahe.

After hearing that Kang Lao was sure that the patch that Fang Yong scooped out of the pasted wallpaper was really the Moon Shadow Lantern patch, Cheng Jiahe said excitedly: "Fang Yong, your luck is awesome!" ”

Fang Yong smiled: "Thanks to you this time, if you hadn't asked me to dig out the old house, I would have missed this baby!" ”

"Xiao Yong, how did you suspect that these pictures are patches on the moon shadow lantern?" Kang Lao wanted to test Fang Yong, so he asked.

"Master, when I peeled them out of the pasted wallpaper, I thought they were common marquee patches at first. But when I think about it, if it is really the common marquee patches, then the owner who originally stored these patches could not have gone to such great lengths to hide them. In addition, the production of these patches is very exquisite. It was slightly three-dimensional under the light, so I thought about it on the moonshadow lamp. Fang Yong said.

Kang Lao smiled and said, "Well, that's good. Although these pictures are similar to the patches of the marquee from the outside, these pictures are more three-dimensional. ”

"Speaking of the Moon Shadow Lantern, I have another allusion here." Kang Lao Road.

Listening to Elder Kang tell a story, Fang Yong and Cheng Jiahe listened carefully.

"The allusion of this moon shadow lantern is also related to a famous figure in history, this person is Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. At the beginning, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty personally conquered Tuguhun, and after the battle, the Great Sui opened up its territory and expanded its territory for thousands of miles. Due to the long journey. Loneliness and longing, hegemony and hard work, as well as the empty and lonely nights of the western plateau, made Emperor Yang of Sui miss the warmth of home. At that time, it was not as good as now, and the barren and empty scenery of Central Asia made Emperor Yang of Sui feel very melancholy. When the ministers saw that their monarch was in a bad mood, they thought of a way to please Emperor Yang of Sui, so they put down the lamps and candles, found the palace maids, and asked them to dance under the moon. The dancing figure of the palace maid was reflected on the tent of Emperor Yang of Sui under the light and moonlight. The shadow of many palace maids dancing has been formed. Emperor Yang of Sui was amazed, so he asked his courtiers to make a landscape according to this scene. The working people were great, and their rich imagination and creative power soon produced the first moon shadow lantern for the Sui Yang Emperor. It's just that because the requirements for making the moon shadow lantern are very high, it has not spread. Then came the Song Dynasty. Some craftsmen have applied the tsuò technique of making moonshadow lanterns to the tsuò lanterns, using heated air to create air currents that propel the axles to rotate. Let multiple scenes be played alternately. Although the effect of the marquee lantern is not as good as that of the moon shadow lantern, the craftsmanship of making zuò has been handed down, and it can be regarded as worthy of the great creativity of the ancestors. ”

"Master. You drink water! Seeing that Kang Lao said such a big call, Fang Yong handed over the water cup after Kang Lao finished speaking.

After taking a sip of tea, Kang Lao said: "There is one of this moon shadow lanterns in the Suzhou Museum, which is also the only one found in my country. In fact, the lampshade for making zuò moon shadow lanterns is very simple, similar to a marquee lantern. But the key to the unpredictable effect of the moonshadow lamp lies in the patch attached to the moonshadow lamp. ”

Hearing what Kang Lao said, Fang Yong said excitedly: "Master, now that we have these patches, can we make a moon shadow lamp by ourselves?" ”

"Of course you can, but you still need Lao Dong to come and help." Kang Lao smiled and smiled.

"Master, this old Dong you are talking about will not be Dong Zhenwu, Dong Lao!" Fang Yong asked.

"Yes, that's him!" Kang Lao replied.

"Isn't he an expert in painting and calligraphy framing and ancient artifact restoration, why is he also very good at handmade zuò?" Fang Yong said the doubts in his heart.

"Hehe Xiaoyong, you don't know this, Lao Dong, this guy is still a master of marquee making!" Kang Lao said with a smile.

When Dong Zhenwu came to Kang's hometown with tools and materials, and after saying a few words, he started the work in his hands.

Dong Lao was really a master of handicraft, and these materials soon formed various shapes in Dong Zhenwu's hands, and as a lamp gradually took shape, Dong Zhenwu pasted these patches brought by Fang Yong in a certain order onto the lamp that had just been made.

"It's done!" Dong Zhenwu's short words made everyone look forward to it.

"Xiao Yong, go to the basement!" Kang Lao said.

The courtyard of Kang's hometown has an underground storage room, which is usually just for some sundries. The windows in the pantry are small, and even when the light comes in, it's a little dim.

Fang Yong helped Kang Lao to the underground storage room, and after everyone came in, Fang Yong closed the curtains and turned off the lights.

At this time, Dong Zhenwu lit a candle with a lighter and put the candle in the moon shadow lamp that had just been made. The originally dark storage room was instantly illuminated by the moon shadow lamp, and the scenery in the storage room also became hazy, coupled with the swaying figures of Fang Yong and the others, it seemed a little deep.

The heat generated when the candle burns heats up the air inside the shade, and as the temperature rises, the moonshadow lamp starts spinning!

At this moment, the scenery of the characters in the autumn hunting picture outlined on the lampshade suddenly seemed to come to life, and with the rotation of the lampshade, the images were projected on the ceiling and the wall, and all kinds of pictures complemented each other, like a dream, as if watching a three-D movie, giving people the feeling of being in a hunting ground.

"It's so beautiful!" Cheng Jiahe couldn't help but exclaim.

Seeing the magic of the Moon Shadow Lantern, everyone also sighed: "It's really a magic work!" (To be continued......)
