Chapter 695

After explaining the features of this wax Buddha, Chu Chen finally said, "so I think this Buddha should have been carved in the Yongle period."

"Pa pa..."

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, all the three cities cheered up. Zhu Dafu said with a smile, "Xiao Chen, I don't know how your brain grows. Fortunately, I only meet one person like you. If there are more, I can only retire!"

Hearing this, Chu Chen quickly waved his hand with a smile and said modestly, "Uncle Fu, you are growing up now. It's time to retire! Besides, I still have a lot to learn from you

Meng Yi said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, don't be modest. I think many experts are not as good as you now!"

Chu Chen scratched his head and said with a bitter smile, "you are going to kill me!"

After Meng Yi had seen the statue, he said with a smile, "Nian Da Sha is really OK. He took the real one as a fake and the fake one as a real one. It's really not bad for the title of" Da Sha "!"

"Xiaomeng, what is the reason for this year's big fool to be nicknamed Zhu Dafu asked curiously.

"I think it's funny now..." Meng Yi first laughs and simply tells you something about Nian Da Sha.

Everyone heard that it was such a thing. They were all in tears and laughter. It was wonderful to say that at that time.

"By the way, Xiao Chen, how did you think of accepting this wooden statue?" After laughing, Zhu Dafu turned his eyes to the statue that Chu Chen had just bought.

Chuchen said with a smile: "at first, I thought this wooden statue was a little unusual."

"How do you say that?" Meng Yixian was a little surprised by Chu Chen's statement, because the material used in this statue could not match the word "extraordinary".

Chu Chen explained, "first of all, this wooden statue was gilded with lacquer. In addition, you can see its carving."

"Sculptor?"

Hearing this, everyone stepped forward to observe carefully. The more they looked, the more surprised they were. At last, they all looked puzzled.

"It's really strange that such a good sculptor can't choose a better wood?" Qiao Qingtai murmured.

"Yes, and who is the craftsman represented by the wooden statue?" Meng Yixian also frowned and asked.

Turning to Zhu Dafu behind the statue, he suddenly said in a loud voice, "come and have a look. There is a poem carved here!"

Qiao Qingtai of Meng Yixian rushed up and saw that there were words carved on the back of the statue. It was only because of the age and some dirt on the handwriting, that he could not see clearly except for individual handwriting.

At this time, Chu Chen took a basin of water, found a piece of cloth, dipped in water, and gently wiped it. After a while, the handwriting appeared.

"Please talk about the copper stove. Cui Wei is like Nanshan. The upper branch is like pine and cypress, and the lower branch is based on copper plate. There are different kinds of inscriptions, and they are connected with each other. "

At the end of the reading, Qiao Qingtai was surprised and said, "this is not a paragraph in the Han Dynasty's four sitting and no noise, which introduced Boshan furnace! Is this craftsman Lu Ban

The reason why he said that is because at the end of the poem, there is "who can lose with Lu Ban for this tool." In a word, it is generally believed that Gongshu and Luban are the same person. That's why he asked.

Zhu Dafu directly denied: "you have not seen the image of Luban. How can it be Luban?"

Meng qiaoqingtai thought about it and thought that the character it represented should not be Lu Ban, so he asked, "is this man a public loser?"

"Gongshu and Luban are just one person!" Meng Yixian said.

Qiao Qingtai spread his hand and said, "some people say that Gongshu and Luban are not the same person. Besides, if they are really the same person, why do they separate Gongshu and Luban in the poem?"

Zhu Dafu said with a smile: "we don't need to discuss this issue. Don't you think this person's clothing should be Han Dynasty style? Even if Gongshu and Luban are not the same person, they can't wear this kind of clothing, right? Besides, if this statue really represents one of these two people, why is the following verse not engraved? "

Meng Yi murmured: "this is also true. Who is this man? What craftsmen were there in the Han Dynasty... "

When Meng Yi first mentioned this, Zhu Dafu turned to Chu Chen and said, "Xiao Chen, is there anything special about this statue?"

"Aren't my two points special?" Chuchen asked with a smile.

Zhu Dafu also said with a smile: "you boy, you just don't see rabbits and scatter eagles. I don't believe there is nothing special about this statue. You will buy it."

Chu Chen shook his head and said, "to tell you the truth, at the beginning, I really bought this thing for the purpose of research. However, I found a strange place later."

"What's so strange?" The three asked in unison.

Chu Chen said, "the weight of the statue is not right.""The weight is not right?"

Listening to Chu Chen's words, Meng Yi quickly hugged the wooden statue, and then said, "the weight is not the same. I don't think it's wrong."

Chuchen said with a smile, "but don't forget that this wooden statue is a long time ago. The material and carving technology should be made in the early Ming Dynasty. After such a long time, how could the wood be as heavy?"

In general, the weight of wood is sure to be light after it has been put for a long time. Therefore, listening to Chu Chen's words, everyone immediately realized the problem.

Zhu Dafu's brain was quick to respond. He quickly asked, "Xiao Chen, what do you mean is hidden in this statue?"

Chu Chen nodded: "I think it should be like this. As for whether it's right or not, I have to see it before I know."

Among the four people at the scene, Qiao Qingtai was the most anxious. He said: "just now, I saw a circle. Except for the natural cracks, there are no artificial traces. What should I do now? Break it open?"

Zhu Dafu was not angry and said: "how can you always come up with bad ideas and smash such a good statue? Don't you think it's a pity, I still think it's a pity!"

Qiao Qingtai was a little embarrassed when he heard the speech. He laughed and asked, "what should I do then?"

Zhu Dafu said, "stupid, have you ever seen the base of the statue?"

"Yes, yes! I almost forgot... "

Seeing Qiao Qingtai's sudden realization, Chu Chen laughs and carefully puts the statue on the ground. However, the statue was covered with dirt, and he could not see what was going on under it. So Chu Chen began to clean it again, but when the dirt was gone, a layer of black paint appeared again.

"There's a play!"

Seeing this, everyone was surprised, because they felt that under normal circumstances, there was no need to even paint the bottom with black paint. It was clear that there was no silver in this place.

Sure enough, after chuchen scraped off the black paint with a knife, a square gap appeared immediately.

Zhu Dafu and others were very excited when they saw that there might be something in the statue. However, the statue did not use a mechanism similar to the "belly hall". The board in the middle was glued with something like glue. It was hard for Chu Chen. He could only use a knife to cut along the gap.

Because he was afraid of hurting the statue, Chu Chen didn't dare to use too much force, so he rowed for a long time, but the board in the middle was a little loose. Then Chu Chen tilted his knife slightly, only to hear "pa", and the board fell down.

We quickly looked inside. The first thing we saw was some unknown fillers. It looked like hay. After cleaning up these things, Chu Chen took out an ancient kraft paper wrapped thing from it. It looks like it's not small. It's only 40 centimeters high.

Seeing this, Qiao Qingtai couldn't wait to say: "Xiao Chu, open it quickly and have a look. What's inside?"

Zhu Dafu was not angry and said: "what are you anxious about? How can you be anxious at this time? In case you accidentally get something inside, what should you do?"

Qiao Qingtai also thought that since it's such a solid thing, it's probably a treasure. If it's damaged because of his words, he's really ashamed. So he quickly explained awkwardly:

"Xiao Chen, I'm just too anxious. Don't take it to heart!"

Chuchen smiles and shakes his head, saying it doesn't matter. Then, he slowly cleans up the kraft paper, and the contents are immediately revealed.

In the center of a round copper plate, there is a straight handle bearing the furnace shaft. It is a hemispherical shape with upward tilt. The top cover is a conical mountain shape, and there are many small holes for smoking. There are many beautiful carvings on the cover, and there are many peaks, birds and animals in the forest. It is a Boshan furnace.

Although it's just a Boshan stove, the whole body of gold can show its extraordinary features, especially when the gold is basically well preserved.

Just as everyone wanted to observe carefully, Meng Yi exclaimed, "I know! The representative of this craftsman should be Ding Huan of the Han Dynasty! "

Boshan furnace in Han Dynasty is difficult to make because of its exquisite workmanship, which is beyond the competence of ordinary craftsmen. Therefore, in ancient poems, ancient craftsmen are used to describe contemporary craftsmen, saying: "who can make this tool, lose to Lu Ban!"

In fact, the name of one of the famous furnace makers in the Han Dynasty has been handed down, that is, Ding Huan, a skillful craftsman in Chang'an.

According to the records of Ding Huan in the miscellaneous records of Xijing, "it's hard to find the wonderful lotus root and hibiscus for Chang man Deng, seven dragons and five phoenixes. It's also a incense burner for lying on the mattress. One of the incense burners in Bei Zhong, originally came from the style of the house, but the method was unique later, and even more so at the beginning of Huan He also made a nine story Boshan incense burner, which was carved as a kind of strange bird and monster. All of the poor spirits are naturally moving... "
