Chapter 517: National Sinners?
A personal collection of national treasures?
The bronze tripod of the Spring and Autumn period on display in the National Museum is Tang Yuan's?
Although everyone didn't know what this bronze tripod had to do with why Tang Yuan wanted to establish the Tianmu Dao Palace, this did not prevent everyone from feeling amazed after hearing the news.
What is the value of the bronze tripod in the Spring and Autumn Period?
Everyone couldn't imagine that maybe the unit of 100 million could only be regarded as the most basic unit in front of this bronze tripod.
However, such a priceless national treasure-level cultural relic, put in Tang Yuan's mouth, it was just a fluttering sentence, which couldn't help but make everyone have a clear understanding of Tang Yuan's unfathomable wealth again.
"After the purchase of this bronze tripod, I hired a professional archaeological team overseas, and found that the weight of this bronze tripod was a little wrong.
"After several twists and turns, I decided to open the bronze tripod, so I hired a team of top archaeological experts from the National Museum to go overseas and help me open the bronze tripod."
"In the end, it took us half a month to successfully open the bronze tripod and take out the contents of it."
At this point, Tang Yuan turned around and pressed the remote control pen in his hand.
The photo of the bronze tripod on the LED screen disappeared and was replaced by a photo of the "mud" all over the ground.
"These things that look like mud are the things we took out of the bronze tripod." Tang Yuan faced everyone and said with a smile: "In fact, we really almost treated these things as mud at that time. ”
"Fortunately in misfortune, we didn't rush to dump these things into the trash can as mud, otherwise I, Tang Yuan, would have become a sinner of the Chinese nation."
National sinners?
When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other, feeling that Tang Yuan's words were a bit exaggerated, and at the same time, the curiosity in everyone's hearts became more and more intense.
In the face of everyone's discussions, Tang Yuan smiled faintly, and then pressed the remote control pen in his hand again, and the photos of the "mud" all over the ground disappeared, and the photos that appeared in front of everyone's eyes again were those photos of the water-saturated bamboo slips after restoration.
Lines of golden texts, spanning 2,500 years, are presented in front of everyone's eyes.
"Everyone—"
"You've just seen things that look like silt, and they really look like bamboo slips from 2,500 years ago, and after a long time and soaking, the internal structure of these bamboo slips has collapsed, and the whole thing has shrunk like toothpicks."
"To this end, I specially invited Wu Shunqing, an international top expert from the Jingzhou Cultural Preservation Center of Beihu Province to protect the unearthed water-saturated cultural relics, and he took his team to restore these water-saturated bamboo slips."
"In front of you—"
"The photos you see are the words engraved on the bamboo slips more than 2,500 years ago after restoration and restoration."
After the appearance of this photo, Tang Yuan, who was originally flat and straightforward, gradually began to rise in tone.
The discussion of everyone at the scene became a little louder again.
It is very appropriate to restore the words of 2,500 years ago through technology and describe them as turning decay into magic.
"Do you know what the text on these bamboo slips is?"
"After our careful counting, we found that there are a total of 1,573 water-saturated bamboo slips in the bronze tripod, and the content recorded on it is the whole book of the Tao Te Ching!"
While Tang Yuan asked and answered himself, his right hand quietly pressed the remote control pen again, and the photos on the LED screen remained unchanged, but next to the restored bamboo slips, lines of small characters appeared.
Heaven and earth are not benevolent, taking all things as a dog, holding on to it, not as good as it, pampering and humiliation, noble and great trouble, and doing nothing but doing nothing......
Lines of simplified Chinese characters correspond to the golden text on the bamboo slips next to them.
At this moment, all kinds of exclamations sounded one after another.
"I am obedient, the whole book of the Tao Te Ching in the Spring and Autumn Period, it seems that the earliest complete copy of the Tao Te Ching unearthed in our country, the silk book A and B of the Han Dynasty!"
"Made, Tang Yuan is simply a son of luck, just open a blind box casually, and actually be able to open the entire "Tao Te Ching" in the Spring and Autumn Period, this is simply outrageous!"
"Could it be that Tang Yuan wanted to build the Tianmu Dao Palace because he discovered the entire "Tao Te Ching" in the Spring and Autumn Period? There are indeed gimmicks, but it feels almost meaningful! ”
"The whole book of the Tao Te Ching in the Spring and Autumn Period, how much is it worth? With this, Tang Yuan definitely doesn't lose money! ”
"Shhh
……
These noises come and go quickly.
Seeing that Tang Yuan still had something to say, everyone had to hold back their desire to talk for the time being, wanting to see what surprises were waiting for Tang Yuan here.
"After restoring and restoring some of the water-saturated bamboo slips, we thought that these bamboo slips were copies of the Tao Te Ching in the Spring and Autumn Period."
"Until—"
"We have restored this water-saturated bamboo slip!"
The LED screen screen flashed, and the large number of water-saturated bamboo slips just now disappeared, and the water-saturated bamboo slips presented in front of everyone's eyes this time were only one, and there were only three words on this water-saturated bamboo slips.
Facing everyone's doubts, curiosity, expectations and other eyes containing many complex emotions, Tang Yuan was silent and slowly pressed the remote control pen in his hand, only to see that next to this water-saturated bamboo slip, three words slowly appeared again - Li Dan!
"According to the joint inference of many senior archaeological experts, the water-saturated bamboo slips I found in that bronze tripod are very likely to be the authentic works of Daozu Laozi."
Tang Yuan took a deep breath, and finally chose to announce the news to the public.
Suddenly, the audience was boiling.
The copy of the Tao Te Ching in the Spring and Autumn Period and the authentic work of Daozu Laozi are not comparable at all.
Now everyone finally understands why Tang Yuan said that if he rashly dumped these things into the trash can at that time, then he would be a national sinner, and he was indeed not exaggerating.
If the copy of the "Tao Te Ching" in the Spring and Autumn Period can still be described as a national treasure, then the authentic "Tao Te Ching" written by Daozu Laozi is already a cultural treasure, and its symbolic, cultural, historical, and spiritual significance is simply immeasurable.
Unless one day, the "Yongle Canon", known as the Chinese encyclopedia, is completely excavated, there will be no classic book that can surpass the status of the ancestor's authentic "Tao Te Ching" among the historical relics of the classics.
No one in the audience expected that they would be invited to attend a signing ceremony and receive such shocking news that can be called a nuclear explosion.
It's worth it!
It's worth it!
