Chapter 638 Haiwang Village Antique Market
Old man Liu was anxious, if it weren't for Xu Yang's view that he was Liu Siyan's father, and this old man was okay with himself, this time the matter was not so easy to solve. Of course, Xu Yang's parents later went to Liu's house to propose marriage. The tradition of the Chinese people, with Xu Yang's understanding of his parents, his pair of superb parents will definitely not let the Liu family have a good time. As for the details, he does not know.
Time passed day by day. Xu Yang had plenty of time to study every day during this time. Although he now knows a lot about the history and humanities of the Han Dynasty, he still only knows a little about his gold-threaded 'jade' clothes. It gave him a huge headache. Although he has a guess, he can only guess this kind of thing.
The books of the Tang family, the books of the Liu family, and the ancient books of the Yang family Xu Yang have basically read the same, but they just haven't found the source of this golden thread 'jade' clothes. It seems that everything has to go with the flow.
However, because those ancient books are all ancient texts, and some are small seal scripts, Xu Yang found that his recent ancient texts have made great progress. Now Xu Yang's small life is very sufficient, every morning, as long as it is not raining, he will sit on a rocking chair in the yard, drink the tea he made, hold an ancient book in his hand, and the comfortable morning will pass. In the afternoon, I will either study, or I will go out to get together with Wang Fatzi, Xiong Wei, or the guys in the school dormitory.
In the evening, he would drive his three 'girlfriends' back together, as for the evening. In short, Xu Yang is like an old man who has returned to seclusion. But Xu Yang really likes this kind of day very much.
Tianbaoxuan opened again, this time Tianbaoxuan opened, it was definitely the most sensational event in Panjiayuan, with the power of one store to bring down the entire cultural relics bureau, I have to say that Xu Yang has made many people start to ponder his background. The most important thing is that the people in the Cultural Relics Bureau, what they have done over the years, especially the things that Lepin Leqian has done, are almost the same as those who are angry and resentful. So Tianbaoxuan also turned out to be angry with them.
Xu Yang went when Tianbaoxuan opened, but he didn't come forward, but just watched this lively scene from afar. As for the purchase, Xu Yang is old to Sun, as long as he doesn't make a big deal, what he used to be and what he is now. There is an increase in the salary of each employee. Xu Yang said something from his heart, and he didn't expect to make any money here.
There is still a week to Xu Yang's big day, the closer the time comes, the more afraid Xu Yang is in his heart, he is really afraid, and he doesn't know why for this fear. However, Xiong Wei is the same as him, the two brothers are a pair of treasures, and they both talked about this problem when they were drinking, and they both turned out to be the same.
After waking up this morning. Xu Yang wanted to go out for a walk. So I drove around aimlessly, and walked around in the car, and I came to the antique market in Haiwang Village. Xu Yang has been here before, but because it is mainly based on calligraphy and painting, Xu Yang has come less often. I didn't expect myself to be here in such a daze. Anyway, it's time to learn ancient Chinese by yourself during this time, so it's good to come here.
At the entrance of the bustling and lively Liulichang East Street, there is such a quiet and elegant courtyard in the Ming and Qing dynasties, which is now the Haiwang Village Market. Most people who know the story of old Beijing know that Haiwang Village was originally the earliest antique market in Beijing, as early as the Qing Dynasty Qianlong Xiu "Siku Quanshu" period, because many scholars, officials, and readers came here to buy and sell books, and gradually flourished, forming the largest distribution center of old books in old Beijing. Today's Haiwang Village has belonged to the Chinese bookstore, and in more than 100 years of training, it has undergone many renovations and transformations, but it is still a treasure land to find the source of knowledge and inherit culture.
Xu Yang's deepest impression of this place is those "ancient book doctors", books, paintings! It is not easy to preserve them well, and many of them are because of poor storage and countless famous masterpieces have disappeared. The existence of these "ancient book doctors" illustrates these problems.
The ancient book restoration skills of the Chinese bookstore Yi Ya Tang were listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008 and are a major feature of the Haiwang Village market. With their "hands that mend the heavens and pierce the eyes of lice", the "ancient book doctors" silently repair those cultural classics that have gone through the vicissitudes of life, and continue the cultural lifeline of the Chinese nation. Master Wang Xuejun, who is in his 40s, has been engaged in the restoration of ancient books since his ancestors, and he introduced to us the unique skills of this 'door', which can be described as a treasure.
"You look at the steps written above, slippery, mending insect eyes, drawing columns, aligning columns, twisting, twisting, grinding, punching, staming, sticking, it looks very simple, but in fact, each step is very complicated", a master surnamed Wang pointed to the introduction of repair technology posted on the wall, telling us: "It takes more than 40 processes to really repair a book, all of which are manual 'operation'. So each book 'spent' a lot of effort. A master surnamed Wang emphasized: "We work in an attitude of protection, we must respect those ancient books, and we must not be a little sloppy and confused." ”
This passage is what this Master Wang said when Xu Yang came here last time, and Xu Yang still remembers it vividly. There are masters in every line, Xu Yang was very slow to learn ancient calligraphy and painting at that time, and people have a kind of emotion, and the reason why they become people is because people have a variety of emotions to express themselves. Xu Yang is also a person, he is not a god.
So during that time, I had a very important resistance to learning calligraphy and painting, and I also came here by chance and met this master surnamed Wang. I learned a lot from this master. So since then, Xu Yang has thrown away that undesirable mentality, even if he learns slowly, he will slowly learn little by little.
Once you walk in, you can see that it is very lively. No worse than Panjiayuan. Came to a place called "Pulp and Paper Hall", this is an old shop, Xu Yang's Tianbaoxuan is only more than ten years, or decades, this shop has been there since the Qing Dynasty, it is said that there are also Ji Xiaolan and Qianlong's prompters in this store.
When I went in, I saw an old man giving a lecture there. Xu Yang stood on the side and listened quietly. A young man on the side was embarrassed to see the customer like this. Standing beside Xu Yang, the young man is no longer surprised by this situation, his master here, that is, Master Wang, is also a must in this Haiwang Village!
The traditional skill of ancient book restoration has always been passed down from generation to generation in the way of master leading apprentices, words and deeds, and is no exception. Master Wang has brought several apprentices with him at present, and Xu Yang met one of them. The girl surnamed Xu was working in the shop at the time, and as soon as she graduated from the university's major in culture and museums, she came to the museum hall and continued to study the restoration skills of ancient books in her work, which has been five or six years. At the time of the interview, it was the summer vacation, and many college students came to the hall to practice what they had learned under the guidance of the teachers. This love for the restoration of ancient books makes them find joy in the seemingly boring work. The increasing 'refinement' of their skills also gives us hope that this intangible cultural heritage can be passed on forever.
The girl Xu that Xu Yang saw after a while. In fact, it is almost thirty people. When she came to Xu Yang, she had a deep impression of this young man. The last time I came, I was very impressed.
"Hehe, Mr. Xu is here again. Miss Xu greeted Xu Yang with a smile. After Xu Yang turned around and saw that it was this one, he immediately smiled and said, "Sister Xu, your gentleman's shouting is too raw." But I haven't seen her for a long time, and Sister Xu has become more and more beautiful. Hmmm! It's beautiful, it's beautiful!"
"Stinky boy, make fun of your sister and me, now your sister Xu and I are old. In a few years, she will be an old tofu!" At this time, Master Wang over there also finished training his apprentice and walked over.
"Haha, I'll just say why there is an old wow-rattling outside today, it turns out that your kid is here!" The old man was clearly joking at Xu Yang.
"Master Wang, what you said. If you want to call us a lark, too. I'm just fine lately, I want to come over to meet your old man and listen to your old teachings!" Xu Yang immediately saluted, no matter what, in the antique industry, those ancient rituals are definitely killer for these old people. Today's young people no longer learn antiques for the sake of passing on culture, but for a simple reason: "money"!
"Hehe, you kid, get up, every time you come, you make such a big salute, I really don't know which old guy your master is!" After the old man received Xu Yang's salute, the smile on his face became even happier.
"I have a lot of masters, and there are several of them so far, but these rituals were taught to me by a master who taught me the tea ceremony, and my master told me. Inheritance. It is not only the dead that must be passed on, but also those that have been lost or are about to be lost. The ancients valued etiquette, so if you want to learn the skill, you must first learn etiquette!"
"Your master is also from my generation, I have a chance to meet! Okay, come in and sit!" Xu Yang followed Master Wang to the inner room, and after sitting down, the two chatted without a word. This shop is mainly based on the four treasures of the study, ancient characters and ancient paintings. Here Xu Yang saw it last time, there are really a lot of famous deeds, some of which are definitely national treasures in the world, and the old man is placed there for people to watch. You can buy it if you want!
"Recently I have been studying Han Dynasty culture. I'm not afraid of the old man's jokes, I don't know if I don't learn, I'm scared when I learn, anyway, I've really seen it! The culture of this dynasty makes me daunting, I have to say, I have a lot to learn, and I have recently learned a dead end. So come out and relax, and walk and walk to your old place......"
