Even better, the ancient copper, also known as gold. Because there are three kinds of gold in ancient times, gold, white gold, and red gold. Gold is gold, white gold refers to silver, and red gold refers to brass. For example, in "Historical Records: The Biography of Prime Minister Chen Cheng", it is recorded that Liu Bang gave Chen Ping "40,000 gold" for espionage activities that year. If it is really gold, it is incredible, and it is estimated that when sold now, it is estimated that it is comparable to the GDP of a small African country in a few years or even ten years. Therefore, when I saw that the "gold" in the "Historical Records" was "40,000 gold" at every turn, and it was used up at one time, then this kind of gold was copper, and if it was really gold, it would be specially indicated.

Why do we talk about copper? Because since the Han Dynasty, the five-baht copper coin with the outer circle and the inner square has established the status of currency for nearly 2,000 years, and the concept that copper coin is equal to money has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If you look at it from the sky, you will see the mountain of the Zhou family's mid-level villa, which looks like a copper coin, and even better, the mid-mountain villa is built like an ancient city, which is boxy.

Since it is a "pile of gold and jade", "gold" is there, so where is the "jade"?

In fact, it is known from the shape of the Zhou family's mid-level villa that this "jade" is actually the Zhou family's mid-level villa. After all, the dwellings in Fujian Province have the roundness of the tulou and the square of the classical dwellings, although it is not strange, but because the Zhou family's mid-mountain villa covers an area too wide, it will be so eye-catching.

At this time, someone is about to ask, isn't this mid-mountain villa square, how can it be considered "jade"?

Knowledgeable people know that square jade is the most feng shui meaning.

First of all, it is "Jade Gang Mao", that is, the jade of the rectangular body, there is a perforation in the center, there are two lines of inscriptions engraved on the four sides of the outer wall, a total of 34 words, the text says: "The first month of the first month is just the center, zero and square." Red, green, white and yellow, the four colors are dang. The emperor ordered Zhurong to teach Kui Long. The worm is just stubborn, don't dare to be. ”

Because the production of Gang Mao, Yan Mao, must be used in the first month of the New Year, the first day of the new year, that is, to stop, so it is called "the first month of the first month". "The Quartet of Spirits" is to talk about the shape of the vessel. "Red, green, white and yellow, the four colors are when" means that the four colors represent the four directions, as long as you wear this thing, you will block all the invasion of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods. And "the emperor ordered Zhurong to teach Kui Long" is to tell the admirer: The Emperor of Heaven has asked the god of fire to warn Kui Long not to do evil and not to eat people, and those who violate it will be burned to death. "The epidemic is just sick, don't dare to be" means that the diseases of the common people, because there are just men in the body, are also blocked. Jade has such a "miraculous effect", so since the Han Dynasty, it has become a jade jewelry that everyone loves to wear. Because it had the effect of warding off evil spirits, it became a popular talisman at that time.

If the "Jade Gangmao" has an aura, it must be a magic weapon, and its own righteousness is awe-inspiring, which can be described as "just Mao", and all evils will not invade! The Zhou family's mid-mountain villa has been built into a "square body", doesn't it mean that it is upright and unyielding, and all evils will not invade? This kind of intention is a step higher than inviting a magic weapon into the house, and Tang Chen was also amazed when he saw it, and he was a little willing to bow to the wind. He really didn't expect that the house could also be made into a magic weapon.

In addition to "jade gang mao", there were many "square" jade artifacts in ancient times, such as "jade belt plate" is one of them.

"Jade belt plate", in fact, is a jade belt, which is a belt inlaid with several or even more than a dozen flat jade plates, which is a symbol of ancient official taste. The "jade belt plate" is mostly square, as well as rectangular, peach-shaped, etc., and various patterns are often carved on the surface. "Jade belt plate" was first seen in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and was used until the Ming Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty was abolished. The jade belt plate is also known as the belt span, ranging from thirteen to twenty-six pieces, the material and quantity have strict regulations according to the different grades, and the Tang Dynasty is called the belt according to the number of belt plates, such as "thirteen belts". In the Ming Dynasty, the jade belt was limited to the emperor, the vassal king, the prince, the marquis, the uncle, the horse and the wife who were awarded the meritorious service, which can be seen to be a symbol of status and extremely noble.

The jade belt plate of the Tang Dynasty is mostly made of square, generally thicker, and some of the belt plates are also inlaid with gold edges, or with jade as the edge, and are inlaid with pearls and red, green, and blue three-color gemstones. The Song, Liao, Jin and Yuan dynasties all carved jade belt plates, with a shoulder or square or moment, the production is regular, the four corners are square, the bottom of the face is the same size, and the Tang Dynasty has been obviously different. In the Ming Dynasty, there were a large number of jade belt plates, and the belt was composed of rectangles, peach hearts, and vertical strips, and there were also rectangular and square belts.

In ancient times, dignitaries and nobles generally wore "jade belts", so there was a word called "jade burning" to show their determination to die.

All in all, the "jade belt plate" is a symbol of wealth and nobility, and the Zhou family's mid-mountain villa was built into a "cube", which was so ingenious that Tang Chen couldn't help but applaud.

As for the third "square" jade, Tang Chen thought about it for a long time before he remembered a "jade gui".

"Yugui" is a jade ritual vessel used by ancient emperors and princes for appointment, sacrifice and funeral. It is a Credit Suisse thing, and most of them are long. The size of the system varies depending on the title and purpose. The usage of "Yugui" reached its peak in the Zhou Dynasty. In order to facilitate his rule, the emperor of Zhou ordered the princes to make regular pilgrimages in order to carry on the will of the Zhou royal family. To signify their rank, Zhou Tianzi gave each person a piece of jade to hold in his hand during the Hajj as a symbol of their status. Later, the emperor also used "Yugui" when holding ceremonial activities, and Huizong of the Song Dynasty once gave a "Yugui" to Maoshan to show respect. Therefore, the Maoshan Taoist Temple has always used this "Yugui" when holding major dojo ceremonial activities.

Whether it is "Jade Gangmao", "Jade Belt Plate", or "Jade Gui", it is an extremely noble jade.

It can be seen from this that the feng shui bureau of the Zhou family's mid-mountain villa is so ingenious, and Tang Chen is ashamed of himself!

But this feng shui bureau was arranged many years ago, and there are still changes.

Even if it is because of the small changes in the mountains, it is not without changes. Originally, the Qinglong Mountain on the left was weaker, and in the decades of economic development, many high-voltage towers were erected in the Baihu Mountain in the west, which directly overwhelmed the Qinglong. Since then, the Zhou family has gradually evolved into a family with a higher status of women, and there are even signs of "one word and nine crowns".

There is another flaw in the Zhou family's mid-level villa, which is innate, that is, Wenyun.

After the luck and fortune are sent to the extreme, the literary luck will definitely be suppressed, which is due to the law. Zhou Deqing was able to start from scratch, and he also had a lot of luck and fortune that was sent to the extreme. But the sequelae have also appeared, after the feng shui bureau has been laid out, the children and grandchildren of the Zhou family are almost half-baked at the level of half-hanging. Even Zhou Xuanying, due to personal reasons, her junior high school studies were wasted a lot, and she was only able to be admitted to a second-class college during the college entrance examination. And this is already the best reading for the children and grandchildren of the Zhou family.

Now Tang Chen is thinking of using Wenchang Pagoda and Wenchang Temple to balance the cultural fortune of the Zhou family's mid-mountain villa, and at the same time benefit one party, which can be regarded as accumulating merit for the Zhou family. It's just that Tang Chen still needs to be on the spot to determine where this Wenchang Tower and Wenchang Temple are built, so as to cover the largest range.

Zhou Deqing naturally wanted Tang Chen to contribute, so he volunteered to be a tour guide, and he was just an assistant behind him.

"Xiao Tang, look at that, does it look like a cow lying there?" Zhou Deqing couldn't help but remind when he saw Tang Chen frequently looking into the distance.
