Chapter 58: Why

"Huh! Let me tell you, doesn't it feel like the color is wrong, and it would be better if it was red? Donald's words shocked Li Tianming, and suddenly a layer of white sweat appeared on his back, could it be that Donald also has special abilities? It is still said that Donald discovered his own ability.

"What do you mean by Donald?" Li Tianming asked calmly on the surface.

"Alas!" Donald sighed and said: "Actually, when I first saw this inkstone, I thought I was dazzled, but I didn't expect that someone really imitated this legendary ancient inkstone, in fact, this inkstone should be red." Wait, I'm going to find something! ”

After Donald finished speaking, he went to his pantry, and gradually rummaged through the bookshelves, and soon took out a book, perhaps it would be more accurate to say that it was a few pieces of paper. After Donald came out, Li Tianming saw that the paper in Donald's hand was unknown.

Bai Sue put these pieces of paper on the table, so that Li Tianming and Gao Boli could see more clearly, there was a picture on the top page, Li Tianming was shocked when he saw the picture, the thing painted on it and the appearance of the inkstone in his hand?

At this time, Donald said: "This is a broken book, I don't know what the title of the book is, I got this book by chance, but I only got these few pages, this paper is too old, the reason why I take care of it so much, is not the content of the paper, but this paper, this production method has never been loaded, it is a new type of papermaking technology, but it is a long time ago." I asked an old friend to help me test it, and I concluded that these scraps of paper were actually from the Xia and Shang periods.

There are more mysteries, so I want to solve this mystery, but so far there is no Xu Xu, and the things recorded on these scraps of paper make me even more intimidating. The first thing is this piece of paper, you can also see it, the place painted on it and the appearance of the object you hold in your hand, inkstone!

However, assuming that this paper is really something from the Xia and Shang periods, but at that time, according to historical records, the inkstone was still a prototype! There could be no such immaculate inkstone in the roots.

The origin of inkstone is very early, about the beginning of the Yin Shang Dynasty, the pen and ink inkstone began to be rough and rudimentary. At the beginning, the pen was directly dipped in graphite to write, but later because it was inconvenient to write large characters, human beings thought of grinding it into juice on stable things, such as stone jade, bricks, copper, iron, etc. This is the primary composition of the inkstone. But this paper stuff is a bit over-the-top. Li Tianming, take a look at how this inkstone is recorded above! ”

Li Tianming saw that there was a text annotation at the bottom of the picture, but Li Tianming just glanced at it and asked for help for help speechlessly, with a smirk on his face revealing unkindness. There's no way, people know the things above, but they don't know people!

"Hahaha, I forgot that you kid doesn't know ancient Chinese yet!" Tang Laomai said with a smile, he really forgot that Li Tianming's image to Tang Lao for such a long time is that he is smart, no matter what he learns, Li Tianming has only recently dabbled in the knowledge of calligraphy and painting, so Tang Cai is a little taken for granted.

"You kid also has something that you can't do, okay, don't look at my old man with that kind of gaze, I'll talk about what is written on this paper!" Seeing Li Tianming looking at him with a kind of resentful gaze, Tang Lao scolded with a smile, and then continued: "I won't say the original text, I'll tell you the meaning of the above, what is written on it is that this inkstone is called Vermilion Bird Inkstone, which is the Vermilion Bird of the legendary beast, and the name of the inkstone should be related to the image carved on it."

This paper fragment records that this piece of Vermilion Bird inkstone is not a flawless inkstone, this is just a small piece of a large inkstone, as for the origin of this inkstone, no one knows, as for the other inkstones are not known anything, the fragment is too boy, there are not many things introduced, but a little bit, this is more like a legend, or a legend, at that time I didn't like the content of the above text, so I have a favorite is just this paper.

But now it seems that someone really imitates such an inkstone, so that is to say, the things recorded on it are also Li Tianming's true, but there are more doubts in this way, fortunately, you are just an imitation, and Lao Gao and I have just concluded that your inkstone should be Tang Yan! It's a nice thing.

The most prosperous period of inkstone was that dynasty. It's a great thing. Li Tianming completely understood Tang Lao's words, and Li Tianming asked Russianly: "Tang Lao, is there a specific introduction on this piece of paper such as the size of the inkstone?" ”

Tang Lao was also stunned when Li Tianming asked him: "There really is!" It is recorded above that this inkstone is long and wide. All-over vermilion! Eagle Bird! Hearing Donald's words, Li Tianming gestured down and dispelled that the inkstone in his hand was the inkstone recorded on the paper.

After watching Li Tianming's back and forth comparison, Tang Lao knew what this kid was doing, and slapped Li Tianming's head with a smile and said, "What are you comparing blindly, now you know that you will know less." Assuming that this piece of paper is dated to the Yin Shang period, then the unit of measurement at that time is followed. The ruler is about the centimeter it is now. And now it's all there is. Infinite loop centimeters. There is a difference.

However, the inkstone in your hand is also an imitation of ancient times, and it can be said that it is really the same as the record on this paper! Also, many of Li Tianming's current records are at fault, and it may not be said. ”

The ruler centimeter, the ruler is equal to the inch, then the inch is. Centimeters, inches are the words. Centimeter! Li Tianming immediately preliminarily concluded that the ancient inkstone was superligent, and looking at the data on the determination, Li Tianming was really stunned, and the score was not bad, that is, the inkstone in his hand was likely to be the inkstone in the record.

But why is it that the inkstone is red when you look at it, but it is black when you look at it? Li Tianming was puzzled, picked up the inkstone from the beginning and initially used the ability analysis, Li Tianming's ability analysis is actually to analyze the item based on the knowledge Li Tianming has learned, assuming that Li Tianming has not learned, then his ability can not be conclusive, and the most time is combined with Li Tianming's knowledge to analyze the source of the item.

Wrong! Li Tianming finally found the wrong place, this is also because Li Tianming has a special ability, and finally let him find the wrong place, under Li Tianming's careful inquiry, it was found that this inkstone is not really black, and it can be seen with the naked eye, but it is not obvious that it is appropriate.

The black shown on the inkstone should be said to be the ultimate of red, there is a saying that the red is purple, and the purple is black! This is not a joke, but it is true, so Li Tianming finally found out why this inkstone is red in his eyes, but others see that it is indeed black, which is the case!

It can be said that Li Tianming's respect for the craftsmanship of the ancients has now been put into the ground, because of this inkstone, Li Tianming has recently learned a lot of knowledge about the inkstone!
