Chapter 462: The Man in the Robe

Guan Zheng and Xu Jiuyan looked over together, the woman was wearing a cheongsam, a simple shawl on her upper body, her hair was neatly tied up, and the woman said: "Your wife is lovely and moving, this jade is pure in color and has no impurities, it is naturally matched." As an outsider, I think I should take a second look. You should also think about it, are you asking too much? ”

Guan Zheng smiled and said, "Eldest sister, we are here to buy a wedding anniversary gift, how can we lower our horizons?" ”

The woman smiled and said, "Then let me offend." ”

The little old man greeted her and said, "Ms. Su, are you here?" What to watch today? ”

The woman smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to worry about me, just greet your guests, and I'll see for myself." ”

The little old man replied, "Okay, you can do it yourself!" ”

Guan Zheng saw the situation and said: "Since you still have guests, we won't bother, I'll trouble you." ”

The little old man nodded and said, "It's okay, you can go around again." ”

Guan Zheng pulled Xu Jiuyan out of the antique store as if he was running away, and Xu Jiuyan asked, "Why are you running so fast?" Can an antique shop eat people? ”

Guan Zheng shook his head and said, "This shop is too weird, especially the woman in the cheongsam. ”

"What's wrong with the woman? Isn't Chinese style very popular now? "Xu Jiuyan didn't understand what Guan Zheng meant.

Guan Zheng explained: "That woman's demeanor is obviously observing and testing us, looking at her figure, it is not the bloated of a middle-aged woman, but a bit like a person who practices the family. ”

Xu Jiuyan nodded and said, "Then let's go quickly and go to another house." ”

Guan Zheng took a fancy to another shop on the side of the street and said, "This, Qingfeng Building?" ”

Xu Jiuyan frowned and looked at it several times, and said, "Is this Qingfeng Building?" Are you reading? ”

"Do you want to read it backwards? The building is clear? Guan Zheng said and dragged Xu Jiuyan into the store, no matter how he read it, in short, this is a store.

As soon as Guan Zheng entered the door, he shouted: "Shopkeeper, put on the object!" ”

Only then came out of it a man in a robe, this man was about forty or fifty years old, with a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, but he looked like a scholar.

The man didn't even have a smile on his face, and his lifeless appearance was like coming from the underworld. Guan Zheng was not afraid, and said, "What do you want to recommend to us?" ”

"Do you really want to buy something?" The man in the robe actually asked such a sentence.

Guan Zheng was not nervous at all, and said, "We don't look like we're here to buy things?" ”

"People who actually buy antiques don't run the store." The man in the robe said: "Antiques are the most eye-catching, once you see this object, it is a treasure, and you will definitely not pay as much attention to price as you, because some things are priceless for some people." You've just come out of the opposite and come to me, and it's hard for me to recommend our properties to you. ”

Guan Zheng nodded and said, "I know, but the two of us don't know what to buy, we just like this antique thing." You just said that the edge of the eyes, that thing just didn't like it, mutton fat jade is not like mutton fat jade, ancient characters are not like ancient words, we can't tolerate it. ”

The robed man said, "Then you might as well take a look at this?" ”

Guan Zheng looked at the step shake and said, "Does this mean anything?" ”

The man in the robe said: "This is the step shake worn by Queen Du at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the silver inlaid crystal butterfly love flower is auspicious." Empress Du Shi, one of the concubines of Emperor Jiajing of Ming Shizong, is the biological mother of Ming Muzong.

This is one of the dowries of Queen Du, and the headdress has been circulated since the Song and Ming dynasties with gold, silver and jade textures. Its shape and texture are symbols of rank and status. After the Han Dynasty, Bu Shao was gradually seen by the common people, and only then did it have the opportunity to be widely spread in society. Among the noble women, there was also a step to the crown. Wearing it on the head is more rich and luxurious than walking and shaking.

The concept of step shaking, seen in the Han Dynasty, however, it was placed in the scope of a dress from the beginning, the Han system stipulates that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager's sacrificial clothes in the first costume are "cut 簂, hairpin, ear beads, hairpin 瑇瑁 for the 擿, one foot long, the upper is the phoenix, with jade as the feathers, under the white beads, hanging gold tweezers, one on the left and right, horizontal hairpins." to Ann Knot. The queen's clothes are the same, and the hairpin is shaken, but the fake knot is used, and the gold is the mountain theme, and the white beads are the cinnamon branches. One Jue Jiuhua, Bear, Tiger, Red Ring, Tianlu, Evil Spirit, Nanshan Fengda Special Six Beasts, all the Jue Beasts are jade for the feathers, the gold title is white beads, and the jade is the flower. According to the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of Wuheng", China has a skush, a step. Bu Shao, which has the same status as a wig like a wig, and then analyzes the depiction of Bu Shao in the queen's first dress, with gold as the mountain theme, that is, with gold as the base frame, decorated with white beads.

Similar shape, such as in Liaoning Beipiao Sihua Yingzi Township unearthed in the two Jin Dynasty and sixteen kingdoms period of the former swallow of the golden flower tree-like step, the bottom is square, the top is a short and wide trunk, the trunk is branched, the tree body is hung with peach-shaped leaves, the movement is slightly trembling, Cong Cong sound, although there is no white beads, but gold leaves, but very in line with the characteristics of Gui Zhi Xiangmiao, this gold leaf, more like the tweezers mentioned above, in ancient times refers to the ornament of the hairpin. These objects also provide a vivid example for the explanation of the step shake in the "Interpretation of the Name", there are hanging beads, and the step is shaken, and combined with the "Hou Han Shu Hou Ji" "Queen Deng" mentioned in the chapter, Queen Deng gave Feng Guiren Wang Chishou, with no step shaking, ring wear, and give each a body. The unit of the step shake is subject to the tool, which shows that its degree of formality is by no means comparable to the so-called single hairpin ornament in later generations. ”

The man in the robe is very familiar with these things: "In fact, the general form of walking is a phoenix, a butterfly, a winged one, or a tassel or a pendant, and when walking, the gold ornaments will move with the swing of walking, lifelike." Take its steps to shake, hence the name step shake.

The production of the step shake is mostly bent into the shape of a dragon and a phoenix in gold, which is embellished with pearls and jade. Six dynasties down, the more complicated the fancy style, or the birds and beasts flower branches, etc., crystal shining, exquisite, mixed with hairpins, hairpins on the hairpin. It is mostly seen in the tombs of the Xianbei ethnic minority in China. At first, it was practiced by aristocratic women, and later by the people. So this one is very unique, during the Ming Dynasty, the land returned to the hands of the Han people, the queen chose silver to do the step shake just according to the mood, but this silver will not be dim for many years, and the crystal on it is still shining for many years. ”
