Chapter 32: Bronze and Gold
"How did you come up with such a ridiculous idea?" Ma Xingyao shuddered and hurriedly said, "It's just nonsense." β
"I know it's nonsense, butβit doesn't make sense." "If it's a prayer for a good harvest, it should also be a casting farm tool?" Making a big pot, and getting nine at a time, working the people and hurting money, is definitely not done by Mingjun, but he is a Mingjun, whether it is Xia Yu or the Yellow Emperor, anyway, they are all one of the ancestors of Chinese civilization, there is no doubt. β
Ma Xingyao couldn't say a word, anyway, her ridiculous idea, I'm afraid that those knowledgeable historians can't explain it clearly.
"Legend has it that the Ding is cast, but it is a ghost, and it is all a little ghost!" Yutai Mingyue said, "If Ding is really a pot and is used for cooking, then what he wants to cook is definitely not fish, meat, vegetables and fruits, but demons and monsters." β
"Okay, good, I admit you have a point!" Ma Xingyao closed his eyes and shook his head vigorously, it was just a joke, he was too tired to eat, and he came to argue with her about this?
Yutai Mingyue stretched out her hand, drew a circle in the void, and then drew an arc in the middle, and said: "In ancient times, there was no function calculation, how did they do such accurate data?" β
Ma Xingyao naturally knew that she was painting Tai Chi, and in the legend, Ding and Tai Chi were blended together, with three legs and two ears, and the upper circle below, which meant heaven and earth. Tai Chi is a Taoist tradition, and it is really impossible to give an accurate answer when it began, it is said to have originated in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Yin and Yang family, but in the more ancient texts, long before the Yin and Yang family, there was Tai Chi.
When modern people see such a circle, they naturally know that it is Tai Chi, and even familiar with it, which is not an uncommon thing, but in ancient times, who first discovered Tai Chi? With the art of yin and yang, explain the meaning of heaven and earth? So as to develop to Ding? Or did you have Ding first and then develop Tai Chi?
"The art of melting heaven and earth yin and yang, and in the middle of a tripod, what does this Yellow Emperor want to do?" Yutai Mingyue sighed.
Ma Xingyao naturally couldn't answer her question, but she was afraid that no one could come up with an accurate answer to satisfy her curiosity, so she could only bury her head in rummaging through the things she bought today.
"Mingyue, this Buddha statue is so heavy!" Ma Xingyao put the Buddha statue on the floor and sighed, "It's obviously a modern imitation, but I don't know if it's made hollow, which is easy for people to carry, it's too heavy." β
"That one was mixed with other metals, probably to be realistic, so it was made solid." When Tai Mingyue thought of the old man, she also felt funny, and said happily, "I suspect that it is wrapped in a layer of bronze on the outside and iron on the inside." β
"Really?" Ma Xingyao smiled, "Why don't we get it open and take a look?" β
"See what?" Yutai Mingyue was a little puzzled, and asked puzzledly, "You mean to smash it open and take a look?" Do you have a grudge against it? β
"I hate it when I see it!" Ma Xingyao said angrily, "You don't listen either, what did that old man say?" β
"Do you believe the old man's words? Are you stupid? Yutai Mingyue asked rhetorically.
"Anyway, I just want to smash it open and see!" Ma Xingyao said angrily.
"The way you look is completely different from what you do in Judexuan." The bright moon laughed with a snort.
"Wearing a mask every day, pretending to be gentle, graceful, extravagant, really tired." Ma Xingyao smiled, "Maybe, I'm not the kind of person with grace - who made me a slave by nature?" β
"Forget it, it's so pitiful, if you want to smash it, you can smash it, anyway, I didn't expect it to be true." Yutai Mingyue smiled, began to take out the small bronze box to study, found a knife, and prepared to pry it open.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Ma Xingyao asked.
"Pry it open and take a look!" As she spoke, she began to use violence.
"You pry it open, and it's useless." Ma Xingyao smiled bitterly.
"What else do you expect this to do?" Yutai Mingyue asked rhetorically.
"Whatever!" Ma Xingyao didn't say anything, since she violently pried open the bronze box, she immediately ran to the kitchen, found a kitchen knife, and began to smash the bronze.
"You're going to have to pay me a kitchen knife." Seeing this, Tantai Mingyue said angrily.
"You can't smash it on the floor, this wooden floor can't stand it." Ma Xingyao said, holding a kitchen knife and slashing it twice, the bronze Buddha statue that looked tattered and rusty was a little stronger than he imagined, and it was not able to smash it.
smashed a few more knives, only to smash a hole, Ma Xingyao found something like a vice, I don't know where he found it, it is said that it is also a kitchen, it is used to pry open some shells, and use a vice to tear a hole in the bronze on the surface, Ma Xingyao suddenly screamed.
"Hey, it's not early, don't yell around, it's scary!" Yutai Mingyue was startled by him, and was busy beating her chest, shouting, "What's wrong with you?" β
"Found a treasure...... Ma Xingyao stared at the Buddha statue in a daze, and said.
"Is this really a bronze artifact, hey, then you will smash it for me?" When Tantai Mingyue heard this, she was really heartbroken, what a baby, it was worthless to be smashed by him.
As he spoke, the person also walked over, took a closer look, and was stunned, and said for a long time: "Gold? β
"Yes!" Ma Xingyao nodded and said, "Such a big Buddha statue, God, this will cost several kilograms." β
"Get out of the way and see!" Yutai Mingyue said.
"Yay!" Ma Xingyao agreed, found a pair of scissors, and used it with a vice, and it didn't take long to peel off the entire bronze skin.
"No wonder it's so heavy!" Ma Xingyao said with emotion, "It turned out to be pure gold. β
"It can't be brass, right? Or ordinary alloys? "Yutai Mingyue is a little confused, his luck is too good, he can pick up gold?
"No, I can feel the texture of gold as soon as I touch it." Ma Xingyao said with a smile, "And you see this process, whether it is casting, or filigree, etc., it is not something that ordinary craftsmen can undertake, but it's a pity......"
"What is a pity?" Tantai Mingyue asked puzzled.
"This Buddha statue should have some origins, and now it is sealed in bronze, which was originally intended to be protected, but now it is somewhat damaged." Ma Xingyao explained, "I'll find someone to repair it, it's beautiful, but it doesn't have antique value." β
