Chapter 256: Gilded Bronze Buddha Statue
Gu Ming was fascinated by this Buddha statue at the first sight, this 4 or 5-year-old child's height Buddha statue is very exquisitely made, and it is relatively well preserved, although the light in the room is not sufficient, but it does not affect its beauty at all.
The Buddha statue is made of gilded technology, and it looks golden on the outside, which is very eye-catching.
Gu Ming and Mo Yidai saw this Buddha statue for the first time, and they were inevitably a little shocked in their hearts, Song Yao was quite calm at this time because she had only seen it yesterday, but it was not difficult to see from her eyes that her heart was not very calm.
The only thing that stopped the scene was Xue Lao, Xue Lao has been engaged in the appraisal industry for so many years, and he doesn't know how many national-level treasures he has seen, although this Buddha statue looks a little shocking, he also controls his expression very well.
Mr. Liu was only slightly shocked when he saw Xue Lao and the others, and he didn't make a sound like exclamation, and couldn't help but look up at Xue Lao and the others.
"Mr. Liu, I can see that you are also a believer in Buddhism, but why do you put this Buddha statue in such a small compartment?" Xue Lao did not rush forward to observe the Buddha statue, but looked at Mr. Liu and asked.
Mr. Liu did not show any panic in response to Xue Lao's question, and replied very naturally: "Strictly speaking, this Buddha statue was not owned by my family before, but was mortgaged here by a friend of my father's life. At that time, my father's friend was in financial difficulties, so in order to raise money, he mortgaged this Buddha statue to our family, and agreed that if the money was not paid off within 30 years, the Buddha statue would belong to my father. ”
"So the person who borrowed the money didn't pay off the debt?" Gu Ming couldn't help but ask out loud.
"Last year, the deadline for repayment had arrived, and the person had disappeared after borrowing the money, and there has been no news so far." Mr. Liu paused. Then he said: "Originally, I didn't know about it, because my father never told me in front of me, and I only learned about it when my father died of a serious illness a few years ago. This Buddha statue had been kept in the warehouse until my father died, and I found it when I was tidying up the warehouse. However, our family has already enshrined a Buddha statue, and we have not yet figured out what to do with this Buddha statue. ”
Xue Lao pondered for a while and said, "Can we take a closer look?" ”
Mr. Liu thought about it for a while, and finally nodded: "Yes, yes, but you have to be careful." ”
In fact, there is no need for Mr. Liu to tell this, Xue Lao and others also know it.
Got Mr. Liu's consent. Xue Lao stepped forward and looked at it carefully, while Gu Ming and Song Yao naturally followed forward and stood next to him, while Mo Yidai seized the opportunity to chat with Mr. Liu, and asked about the Buddha statue by the way.
This Buddha statue is a general thing. In fact, before Gu Ming and the others arrived here, Song Yao had already made a relatively detailed introduction, and it was a little unclear about the origin of this Buddha statue. After all, Mr. Liu's father is dead, and he said that his friend took it as collateral many years ago, and others know whether it is true or false. But none of this matters, what matters is whether the Buddha statue is real or fake.
After listening to Song Yao's explanation, Gu Ming knew that in addition to seeing old friends in Xinjiang, this Buddha statue was also the focus of his trip. It's just that Song Yao didn't know it at first, and she only found out when Xue Lao asked her to go to work with Ba Lang that day.
Gu Ming listened to Song Yao's explanation. Looking at the Buddha statue in front of him again, I couldn't help but have a little doubt in my heart, how could the news that Mr. Liu had a Buddha statue in his house reach Xue Lao's ears? And according to Mr. Liu, it was not a matter of a day or two that this Buddha statue was turned out, but more than a year later, why did it attract Xue Lao to come at this time?
The doubts in her heart had just popped up, and Mo Yidai had already asked about it.
"Has Mr. Liu asked someone to identify it before? Looking at the Buddha statue seems to be a bit of a beginning. Mo Yidai had a gentle smile on his face. [.Lots of good]
"I asked the local people to identify it, but they weren't quite accurate, they just said it looked like something from the Ming Dynasty. I had just found the Buddha statue, and I just wanted to know what it was worth, but I didn't know what was going on. I haven't even gotten any news on whether it's true or not, and it seems that someone is rumoring about this Buddha statue outside. But fortunately, the scope of transmission is not very large, and occasionally people who are interested in Buddha statues will come to see it. Normally, I wouldn't say yes. It's just that you were introduced by Balang, and that Miss Song is very sincere. So I said yes. Mr. Liu pointed at Song Yao and smiled.
"I see." Mo Yidai nodded, and then chatted with Mr. Liu about other things.
Gu Ming listened attentively and found that what Mr. Liu said was similar to the information prepared by Xue Lao that she had read before, so she withdrew her attention and refocused on the Buddha statue in front of her.
At this time, Xue Lao had already started to carefully inspect the Buddha statue, wearing a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose and holding a special high-powered magnifying glass in his hand. Song Yao was holding a small hand power station next to him, in case of Xue Lao's unforeseen needs.
Look carefully, the shape of this Buddha statue is somewhat different from the Buddha statue generally enshrined in the temple, the Buddha statue is not a sitting posture, but with a bit of lazy and casual appearance, one foot of the Buddha statue is supported, both hands have been leaning on the foot of the support, its demeanor is charitable and beautiful, the ears are wide and the shoulders are lowered, and the corners of the mouth reveal a peaceful and calm smile, as if taking a nap, and the expression is quite charming.
Gu Ming didn't know much about the Buddha statue, but she was sure that this was a Buddha statue made of copper gilt, and she only knew a few points about the identification points of the Buddha statue, so at this time, she couldn't speak casually, so she could only stand obediently and watch Xue Lao's movements.
In this regard, Song Yao's solid foundation was revealed, she seemed to know more about Buddha statues than Gu Ming, and she was whispering something in Xue Lao's ear at this time.
Xue Lao spoke relatively little, and he neither agreed nor objected to Song Yao's words, but focused more on the Buddha statue itself. Xue Lao looked at it for a long time, at the beginning Mr. Liu and Mo Yidai would still say a few words, and it didn't take long for the two of them to stop talking and stand quietly aside, the whole Buddhist hall immediately became very quiet, only occasionally came the sound of Xue Lao inspecting the Buddha statue.
Although Gu Ming and Song Yao didn't touch it, they were all following Xue Lao next to him at this time, looking carefully at it, from the face and shape of the Buddha statue to the inscription on the table in front of the Buddha statue's pedestal, they all looked at it very carefully.
The Tibetan bronze Buddha statue made by the Ming court began about six years of Yongle, and the current one with the money only sees the "Ming Yongle Nianshi" and "the Ming Xuande Nianshi" two kinds, all of which are engraved on the front table of the pedestal, and the paragraph is correct. The Yongle year font is beautiful, it is a regular script style, and the font of the Xuande year is similar to the official book, and the font is more vigorous and powerful.
This Buddha statue has the words "Ming Yongle New Year", which seems to indicate the age of the Buddha statue.
"Do you see clearly?" Xue Lao suddenly looked up at Gu Ming and Song Yao and asked.
Song Yao was stunned for a moment, then nodded, while Gu Ming stared at the Buddha statue without moving.
"You didn't see clearly?" Xue Lao looked at Gu Ming.
Gu Ming looked at the Buddha statue, then at Xue Lao, and then said, "Can I touch it?" ”
Xue Lao glanced at Gu Ming, and then nodded slowly.
Gu Ming got permission, hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his left hand and put it on the shoulder of the Buddha statue.
The moment her left hand touched the shoulder of the Buddha statue, Gu Ming immediately felt a hot heat from her fingers, and an indescribable pleasure immediately rose in her heart, and a not very big Buddha horn sound came from the bottom of her heart. At the same time as hearing the Buddha's name, Gu Ming's heart seemed to be instantly soothed, and the whole person couldn't help but relax, and his heart seemed to be cleansed.
She stabilized her mind, and with an extremely peaceful mood, she slowly stroked the body of the Buddha statue with her fingers, feeling the heat from her fingers and the sound of the Buddha from the bottom of her heart.
Walking around the entire Buddha statue, Gu Ming's fingers gradually moved down, and came to the recognition place on the table in front of the Buddha statue's pedestal, and gently stroked it back and forth.
Xue Lao and the others quietly watched Gu Ming's movements, Mr. Liu saw Gu Ming caressing the Buddha statue so carefully, his eyes revealed a trace of curiosity, and Xue Lao saw Gu Ming's movements, and his eyes showed some deep thought.
It's just that at this time, everyone's attention was on Gu Ming's hands that were wandering back and forth on the Buddha statue, and no one noticed this.
After Gu Ming stroked the Buddha statue from head to toe, she withdrew her hand and returned to Xue Lao to stand beside her.
Seeing this, Mr. Liu stepped forward and asked Mr. Xue, "Professor Xue, how is my Buddha statue?" ”
Xue Lao didn't answer Mr. Liu's question immediately, but looked at Song Yao and said, "What do you think?" ”
Song Yao had long expected that Xue Lao would ask this question, and he already had a draft in his heart, so he didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "The style of this Buddha statue is 'Ming Yongle Nian Shi', the face of the Buddha statue of the Ming Dynasty is plump and upright, with a wide forehead, a square face, uniform facial features, slightly down-looking eyelids, a quiet and soft expression, and a slight smile. The bronze Buddha statues in the Yongle period are more beautiful than the Buddha statues of other periods, with more subtle expressions, high noses and thin lips, and a slightly soft and charming state. The face of the Xuande statue tends to be slightly dignified and plump, the lips seem to be slightly thicker than the Yongle statue, the nose bridge, the nose wing seems to be slightly wider, this Buddha statue from the physiognomy, but more in line with the characteristics of the Yongle period of the court casting Buddha statue. ”
