Thank you Li Yu for the monthly ticket support, Xie Lu Xie-

Just as Wang Ding was about to come forward to appreciate this treasure, Xiao Changyi and Lao Qian also appeared in this "Huayutang".

It turned out that Lao Li Zhilu Dao, Xiao Changyi and Lao Qian, didn't play much in Macau Antique Street, and the two of them were interested in antiques, so they deliberately found out the time, and they took a rest in the hotel.

Wang Ding saw Brother Xiao and Qian Lao coming over, and after saying hello, he continued to walk towards the treasure he had found.

Because of the aura and the golden light, Wang Ding knew that this must not be a mortal thing, and the thing that Wang Ding touched in his hand at this time seemed to be a mirror. It's just that unlike ordinary mirrors, the mirror surface of this mirror is a layer of flowing clouds, crystal clear, and dazzling glass.

"Brother Xiao, Mr. Qian, you can also come and take a look, this piece of glass in my Brother Wang's hand is very beautiful."

"Qian Le, don't talk yet." Wang Ding walked up to the boss and said with a smile, "Boss, how much does this thing cost?" ”

The boss of Hua Yutang glanced at the things in Wang Ding's hand and stretched out three fingers, "Three thousand, a fixed price, no bargaining." ”

The boss of Hua Yutang was happy, but Qian Le didn't think that no matter how beautiful a glass mirror was, it couldn't reach three thousand, but who knew that Wang Ding also took out three thousand oceans and handed them over to the proprietress directly.

After selling this "glass", Wang Ding did not continue to stay in Huayutang, because there was really nothing to be desired. And just now. After Wang Ding took a fancy to the glass. In fact, Xiao Changyi and Lao Qian have also discovered something, maybe Wang Ding's thing has been missed again, but it's a pity that he is one step late.

After leaving the store, before he had gone far, Qian Le asked puzzled.

"Brother Wang Ding, I don't know why you spent 3,000 yuan to buy this piece of glass?"

"Glass? It's not glass, it's glass. "Wang Ding hasn't spoken yet. Xiao Changyi spoke first and judged.

To be honest, Xiao Changyi is well-informed, and when Wang Ding took a fancy to this baby, Xiao Changyi was already sure. "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the ancient method of glass."

"Ancient glaze?" Qian Le didn't understand at all, and asked with a wink, "What is that?" ”

"You don't even know the way of Liuli?" Xiao Changyi frowned. Lao Qian was even more ashamed, "Qian Le, what did I say you did, didn't I tell you about Liuli?" ”

"Liuli, I must know the Tao of Lu, one of the seven treasures of Buddhism. The sand monk in Journey to the West. Isn't it because he broke one of the Jade Emperor's glass cups and was demoted to the mortal world? "What Qian Le said is very serious, "I don't know what I am talking about is the ancient method of glass." What's going on with the ancient law? ”

Xiao Changyi smiled. One meaning, just to distinguish between modern water glass and ancient glass, the glass fired with ancient technology is called ancient glass. The production process of ancient glaze is quite complicated, and it takes dozens of processes to complete. And mainly rely on handmade, in which the grasp of each link is quite difficult, the difficulty of grasping the heat can be said to be half by skill and half by luck, so it is much more precious than the general glaze. ”

"Oh" After listening to Xiao Changyi's explanation, Qian Le suddenly realized, pointed to the glass mirror in Wang Ding's hand, and said with a smile: "Then the things in Wang Ding's hands should be antiquities." It should be worth a lot of money, but I really don't seem to see this kind of glass on the market, antiques. Is it just admired in ancient times, and now it is in decline? ”

Seeing that Qian Le was very interested in ancient glass, Lao Qian popularized. "In fact, the history of firing glaze in ancient times can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty, and in the Han Dynasty, the production level of glaze has been quite mature. However, the smelting technique was in the hands of the royal family and nobles, and it has been kept secret. Because it is difficult for the people to obtain, people have always regarded glass as a treasure more precious than jade. ”

"There are five famous artifacts in China, namely glaze, gold and silver, jade, ceramics, and bronze. Among them, the glass is in the first place, which shows everyone's cherishment of it. Speaking of this, Lao Qian still shook his head and sighed: "However, as you said, in the Yuan Dynasty, there was a fault in the production technology of glaze, so in the early Ming Dynasty, glaze became something that only appeared in myths and legends...... As for the few things that are glazed now. ”

"yes." Qian Le empathizes, because the preciousness of glass can be seen in the creation of Journey to the West novels. Sha Seng was a curtain general, just because he broke a glass cup by mistake, he was degraded so badly, which is enough to show the preciousness of glass in the minds of people at that time.

"Then it seems that the glass is very valuable?"

Wang Ding can speak. "It can't be concluded that modern glass is definitely not valuable, because it is difficult to reproduce the glaze process before the Yuan Dynasty, but modern glaze is worthless, but it does not mean that ancient glaze is worthless in modern times. It is important to know that the ancient glaze of Ludao can be handed down to the present, and it is also a very precious art treasure. What's more, the glass is also divided into types, and most of the ones on the market are water glass, which is an imitation of the glass. The glaze that is really fired by the ancient method has a high cost and has a certain collection value. ”

"Well, but how can we tell that this is ancient glass? I've also seen ancient glass, and most of them should be small and delicate things such as beads, and many times they should be jewelry shapes, and it is unlikely that they will be made into mirrors. It is important to know that the glass is not very transparent, and there are many colors, which cannot be reflected at all. ”

"Well, it's a little weird." Xiao Changyi agreed: "Ancient mirrors are generally made of copper, because copper mirrors are used for a long time, although the surface will become dull, but they can be re-polished to restore their original brilliance." Other metals aren't so convenient, and I've never heard of glass-based mirrors unless ......"

"Unless what?" Qian Le hurriedly asked.

Next to him, Wang Ding listened attentively, and his face also showed curiosity.

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

"Magic Mirror?"

Qian Le didn't understand. Wang Ding picked up the leak just now by virtue of the aura and brilliance, more, in fact, he was not very sure, the seal text on the jade plate Wang Ding came out of the Huayutang and did not pay attention to it, and was even more interested in Xiao Changyi's words.

"That's right." Xiao Changyi 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 think of it, this is what the demon mirror in the Romance of the Gods looks like." Qian Le suddenly exclaimed.

"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, Qian Le noticed that the mirror in Wang Ding's hand was not the most common circle, but the same as the stone box, forming a regular gossip form.

"Wang Ding, show me something."

Lao Qian was also a little curious when he heard Xiao Changyi say that this was a feng shui magic weapon. He stretched out his hand, and after taking the glass mirror handed by Wang Ding, 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 words are very similar to official books, with clear dots and paintings, but he doesn't know any of them. Clearly not modern writing.

"Old Xiao, look at what kind of word this is." Qian Lao raised his hand and asked Xiao Changyi to come over and read the words.

Xiao Changyi spent a long time there and discovered the mystery in it, although he didn't know those words, Xiao Changyi 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!" Wang Ding groaned, and at this moment, he looked at the jade plate with one more thought, and the seal on the jade plate immediately made Wang Ding understand everything.

In the next second, Wang Ding's eyes lit up, "This is the Tang Mirror, a very precious ancient mirror." ”

Wang Dingyi said, Xiao Changyi immediately agreed.

"Yes, you're right, at present, the ancient mirrors of the Warring States, Han Dynasty, and Tang Dynasty are the most exquisite and collectible. However, the ancient mirrors of the Tang Dynasty are, to some extent, imitations of Han mirrors. 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. Brother Xiao, can you tell me? ”

"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? ”

Xiao Changyi 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. (To be continued......)
