Ah said: "I use mud to paste the outside of this wax sample, and then put it in the fire cellar to burn, so that the wax sample can melt and flow out, and then, this mud becomes the mother tool, and then, if you want to pour the metal solution into the mother tool, the inner cavity of the mother tool must also be breathable, otherwise, not only when burning the mother tool, the wax is easy to crack the outside soil, and when the metal is poured into it, the metal liquid is not allowed to penetrate to all corners of the mother tool, or there will be bubbles back up and blocked in the corner, for this reason, these extra wax branches are actually breathable holes. ”

Zhang Jingtao suddenly realized why people would put a lot of nails on the wax when making statues.

Undoubtedly, these nails are nailed in the concave and convex places, just to better guide the molten metal, so that the molten metal will not be filled properly.

Zhang Jingtao looked at it, and the two wax branches on it were above the handle of the dagger, one was straight and the other was slightly oblique, both of which could be used as pouring ports.

Under the tip of the wax dagger, there is a thin wax sausage that is curved and curved.

This wax sausage is smaller than the mouth above, which ensures that when watering, the air in the mother tool is easily forced out, and the metal liquid can still get enough static pressure and does not affect the watering, or it can also make the metal liquid flow better under a certain pressure, so as to ensure that the metal liquid starts to accumulate from the lower end of the mother tool to the full.

In this way, the appliance is less likely to have defects such as metal pits.

Zhang Jingtao said: "It seems that there are more than these vents." ”

Ah He smiled and said: "Yes, at the corners of the utensils, those places where it is not easy to return air, you can add a vent and a wax sausage, but usually pour a metal utensil, as long as there are four openings are enough, so, I call such a mother and child 'four', which means that there are four openings in the mother tool, and it also indicates the number of four." ”

Zhang Jingtao was surprised, but he unexpectedly heard the meaning of the word 'four'.

No wonder there is such a usage of four unscrupulous in the text, the four words dare to love can represent the mold, that is, the mold is how to make it, how to make it, so that it has the meaning of four meanings.

It is conceivable that this traditional Chinese character is completely a fake word.

Zhang Jingtao couldn't help but say: "It's so interesting." ”

Ah Ha smiled: "It's very interesting." ”

Yukimi asked, "How did this pronunciation come about?" ”

Ahmad explained, roughly speaking:

This practice of destroying wax with temperature has a destructive nature, and the meaning of silkworm cocooning and silkworm being killed is also a bit similar, for this reason, she calls the loss of life death.

As for the voice, the third tone will be used, because life will be reincarnated, only three tones will be used, indicating that it will go and come back, come and go.

As for the annotation of the voices, there is no doubt about it:

The first flat sound is taken from the meaning of the translation of the point in time of 'one'.

The second sound of the mention is taken from the meaning of the beating next to the beat, and it is also alarmed.

The third transliteration is taken from the pinyin letter v, and its meaning is similar, with a turning meaning, or injected and lifted, lifted and injected into such repeated meanings.

The fourth accent is taken from Yu Yi, which is the direction of extension, which is the other side of the lake made by big characters, with the meaning of certainty, emphasis, achievement, and depth.

For this reason, after determining the pronunciation of the word 'four', and because the metal liquid is in the mother's tool, it can be poured into the hidden parts that people can't see, so Ah He used the word 厶 to indicate privacy.

Among them, the two and the fold represent the pipes and turns that separate the fluid, and the human eye encounters such a turn, and the inside of it is not visible.

The dots in it, indicate the infusion and imprinting into the depths.

Therefore, since this word is cast, it can naturally also represent a link in casting.

The homophones of Huaxia are so wonderful.

Zhang Jingtao had an idea in his mind and said, "Hey, in this way, this word can also be turned into the number 4?" ”

Ah He praised: "Fu Xi is so smart, exactly." ”

Zhang Jingtao thought about it again, and suddenly understood the origin of the eight characters, but he was not sure if Ah Yu had created the eight, so he asked: "It seems that these four characters can be converted into other numbers?" ”

Ah Yu nodded, and pulled Zhang Jingtao to the other mother's tool.

When the mother tool was still clay, it was cut in half with a silk rope, and the bamboo shoots were repaired before they were fired, which was very exquisite.

However, it is an advanced master tool of the glue filling method or the fire method.

It's just that the advantages of such a master tool are not small, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the cast utensils will have convex seams.

Of course, it doesn't matter that many tools have metal seams, after all, the tools are usually not bad for aesthetics.

Ah Yu opened the mother's tool, let Zhang Jingtao see it clearly, and then said: "If the mother's tool is carefully cut before firing, and made into two spliced pieces, you can see clearly whether the mother's tool is done well, whether there are cracks or bubbles, if there is, it can also be repaired and then poured into metal, therefore, if such a mother's tool 'four' is divided into two, there are eight openings, for this reason, I will open the meaning of the mother's tool to represent the eight openings, called it eight." In addition, these eight characters are also like the separation of the roof of the herringbone, and for this reason, the eight characters themselves have the meaning of eight openings and separation. ”

Zhang Jingtao immediately understood that the meaning of the eight open and the pick-up is the same, but the pick-up next to the handle is like the little fox picking up the soil under the tree, looking for the meaning of the cicada chrysalis to eat, for this reason, although the pick-up seems to be a little repetitive, but it is not a fake word, because it contains the meaning of the eight can not be expressed.

Eight, just to say, directly left and right separated.

Unlike the root, next to the wooden word, at this moment, it is naturally the annual ring separated by the cross, and then it expands outward to the circumference like a non-wave drum, referring to the natural wood plant, the annual ring that extends outward year after year.

The word 禾 is used to remove the meaning of 丿 and remove the grass plant with annual rings.

For this reason, the root is a false word, and the real word is: Gen.

Zhang Jingtao used his brain again and said: "It seems that the mother word also has this meaning?" ”

Ah said: "Yes, yes, the mother word, can be seen as a pair of mother tools that are picked up and down." ”

Zhang Jingtao said: "So if you turn it into numbers? ”

Ah He used a bamboo pen on the table, dipped in some ink, and wrote a big number 8 on a gorgeous but somewhat undulating and crumpled piece of paper.

And said: "This is a number 8, which represents the separate molds, but after they are all written in circles, this number is easier to record." ”

Zhang Jingtao said: "Mmmmmmmm, it seems that this 8 can also represent a lover?" ”

Ah Hi laughed and said: "Yes, for this reason I made a 'Lu' character, which represents the open mother's tool, these two halves of the mother's tool, since there is a tenon, can fit like a man and a woman, and can be separated, each for a separate individual." In addition, the larger letter 'B' also has the meaning of the mother tool being separated in half, and I gave it a peeled sound. ”

It turns out that this is how the larger letter B came about.

Zhang Jingtao suddenly discovered something that surprised him even more.

He picked up the gorgeous white paper and exclaimed, "God, what is this?" ”
