After Xu Yang got the ability, although this ability will occasionally crash, but it will not go wrong, today, it is today, Xu Yang's ability has a problem, under the ability, the inkstone that Xu Yang sees in his eyes is absolutely different from the inkstone he holds in his hand now, at this time the inkstone in Xu Yang's hand is black, the same as the ordinary inkstone, the whole body is black, the size is about 20 centimeters long, and the width is more than 10 centimeters.
The style is very simple, there is an animal carved on the inkstone, Xu Yang carefully observed and found that this animal looks like a phoenix, but it is not, the animal on the inkstone is very handsome, and the corners of the inkstone have a kind of irregular edges and corners, as if the hair ballast that has been broken by life.
From these points alone, it can be seen that this inkstone is indeed an extraordinary product, and it is a good ancient inkstone, but it is ...... How could this be? Xu Yang asked himself, what is wrong with his ability? No, it is impossible, his ability will never go wrong, it is not that Xu Yang believes in his ability too much, but he can't tell what it is, but he believes that this inkstone should be what it looks like in the eyes of the ability.
Tang Lao and Gao Boli looked at Xu Yang facing the inkstone, his face changed greatly, one moment white, one moment red, very ugly, Gao Lao asked, "Xu Yang, is there something wrong?"
"Ah? No, no! It's just that I don't know why, there is always a feeling that this inkstone shouldn't be like this! I can't say what's wrong, don't worry about it, I don't doubt that you replaced the inkstone, I can be sure that this is the inkstone among the bricks, but it just feels wrong!"
Xu Yang's words made Gao Lao's face look a lot better, he really thought that Xu Yang was suspicious of him at first, but when he heard what Xu Yang said was wrong, his brows also wrinkled! In fact, he also felt that uncomfortable feeling when he untied this inkstone, and he couldn't say anything to himself.
"Hehe! Let me tell me, does it feel that the color is wrong, if it is red, it will be much better?" Donald's words made Xu Yang startled, and a layer of white sweat suddenly appeared on his back, could it be that Donald also has an ability? Or does Donald discover his own ability.
"What does Donald mean by that?" Xu Yang 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, the real inkstone should be red." Wait a minute, I'll go find something!"
After Tang Lao finished speaking, he came to his collection room, and slowly rummaged through the shelves, and soon took out a book, or a few pieces of paper, which was more accurate. After Donald came out, Xu Yang saw that the paper in Donald's hand was unknown.
The old man put these pieces of paper on the table, so that Xu Yang and Gao Boli could see more clearly, there was a picture drawn on the top page, Xu Yang was shocked when he saw the picture, the thing painted on it was exactly the same as 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 cherish it so much, is not the content of the paper, but this paper, this manufacturing 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 found out that these fragments of paper were actually from the Xia and Shang periods.
There are more mysteries, so I've been trying to solve them, but so far there are no clues, and what is written on these scraps of paper confuses me even more. First of all, there is this piece of paper, you can also see, the place painted on it is exactly the same as what you are holding in your hand, inkstone!
However, if this paper is really something from the Xia and Shang periods, but at that time, according to historical records, the inkstone was still a rudimentary type! It is impossible to have such a flawless inkstone.
The origin of inkstone is very early, probably in the early days of the Yin Shang Dynasty, and the pen and ink inkstone began to be rudimentary. At first, the pen was dipped directly in graphite to write, but later because it was inconvenient to write large characters, human beings thought of grinding hard things into juice first, such as stone jade, bricks, copper, iron, etc. This is the initial formation of the inkstone. But there's something too legendary on this paper. Xu Yang, take a look at how this inkstone is recorded on it!"
Xu Yang saw that there was a text annotation at the bottom of the picture, but Xu Yang just glanced at it and asked for help for help speechlessly, with an embarrassed smirk on his face. There's no way, people know themselves, but they don't know others!
"Hahaha, I forgot that you kid doesn't know ancient Chinese yet!" Tang Lao laughed and said, he really forgot that Xu Yang gave Tang Lao the impression that he was smart for so long, no matter what he learned, Xu Yang had only recently begun to dabble in the knowledge of calligraphy and painting, so Tang Cai was a little taken for granted.
"You kid also can't do things, okay, don't look at my old man with that kind of eyes, I'll talk about what is written on this paper!" Seeing Xu Yang look at him with a resentful look, 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 this inkstone is called Vermilion Bird Inkstone, which is the Vermilion Bird of the Legend of the Four Divine Beasts, and the name of the inkstone should be related to the pattern carved on it."
This paper fragment records that this Suzaku inkstone is not a complete 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 one thing is that the above record is more like a legend, or a legend, at that time I was not interested in the content of the above text at all, what interested me was only this paper.
But now it seems that someone really imitates such an inkstone, then that is to say, the things recorded on it may be true, but in this way there are more doubts, fortunately, you are just an imitation, I and Lao Gao have also identified it just now, your inkstone should be Tang Yan! It is a good thing.
The most prosperous period of the inkstone was that dynasty. It's also a great thing. Xu Yang completely understood Tang Lao's words, and Xu Yang suddenly asked: "Tang Lao, is there a detailed introduction such as the size of the inkstone on this paper?"
Tang Lao was also stunned when Xu Yang asked, and said: "There really is!" It is recorded that this inkstone is one foot long and seven inches wide. "Hearing Donald's words, Xu Yang gestured and dispelled that the inkstone in his hand was the inkstone recorded on the paper.
Tang Lao looked at Xu Yang's back and forth comparison and was stunned for a while, and then knew what this kid was doing, and slapped Xu Yang's head with a smile and said, "What are you talking about, now I know that I know less." If this piece of paper is dated to the Yin Shang period, then it is measured in accordance with the unit of measurement at that time. One foot was about 23 centimeters now. And now the end is 33. 33 centimeters of infinite loop. 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! Maybe many of Yang's current records are wrong. ”
One foot is 23 centimeters, and one foot is equal to ten inches, so one inch is 2. 3 centimeters, seven inches is 16. 1 cm! Xu Yang immediately began to identify the ancient inkstone with his ability, looking at the data on the identification, Xu Yang was really stunned, not bad at all, that is, the inkstone in his hand was likely to be the inkstone in the record.
But why can you see that it is a red inkstone by looking at it, but it is indeed black when you look at it visually? Xu Yang was puzzled, picked up the inkstone again and began to analyze it with ability, Xu Yang's ability analysis is actually to analyze items based on how much knowledge Xu Yang has learned, if Xu Yang has not learned, then his ability can not come to a conclusion, at most he will analyze the origin of the item in combination with Xu Yang's knowledge.
Xu Yang finally found something wrong, this is also because Xu Yang has a special ability, and finally let him find something wrong, under Xu Yang's careful observation, he found that this inkstone is not really black, and its practical eyes can see a little difference, but it is quite not obvious.
The black shown on the inkstone should be said to be the ultimate in 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 Xu Yang finally found out why this inkstone is red in his eyes, and others see that it is indeed black, it turns out to be like this!
It can be said that Xu Yang has admired the craftsmanship of the ancients, and because of this inkstone, Xu Yang has recently learned a lot about the inkstone!
Inkstone, according to the material, can be stone, terracotta, metal, lacquer sand, etc., and the main material of inkstone is a variety of inkstone. Inkstone is generally named after the place of origin, there are more than 200 kinds of inkstone produced in China, the most of which are the four famous inkstones - Duan inkstone, She inkstone, Taohe inkstone, red silk inkstone (another saying is Chengni inkstone).
Xu Yang asked, "Donald, can you tell what kind of material this inkstone is?"
Hearing Xu Yang's question, he replied that he was indeed Gao Boli, this old man had dealt with various materials all his life, but this time he was really blind, because he didn't know what material this inkstone was!
"Don't ask Lao Tang, he doesn't know what the material of your inkstone is, after I solved this inkstone, I found someone to identify it, unfortunately, no one knows what material this is an inkstone, the best way is to take a little bit on the inkstone for testing. ”
Xu Yang wouldn't agree to this, I don't know what I'll know in the future, it's impossible to take a little bit of the inkstone, even if it doesn't hurt the inkstone's body! So Xu Yang rejected this idea.
Suddenly Xu Yang's heart flashed, he thought of a story, or a legend, it really has something to do with this inkstone, at that time he was not involved in antiques, at that time when he was reading this story, he also read it as an interesting little article, now that he thinks about it, maybe this inkstone can be seen from the light of day!
