Inherit For Three Thousand Years

Seeing Xiao Yao standing in front of this bronze ware for a long time, appreciating it repeatedly, Iwasaki Shinichi asked: "Mr. Xiao, a friend happened to appreciate this piece of Taishi gui some time ago. He thought this bronze ware It’s from the Western Zhou Dynasty, but it’s impossible to judge the specific time, do you have a more precise conclusion?”

"This grand master's guigui should be from the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty, which is not difficult to judge.

"Book·Zhouguan" contains: Li Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao, hereby only Sangong, discussing Taoism, Jingbang, Xie Li Yin and Yang.

However, in the bronze inscriptions of the early Western Zhou Dynasty, only Taibao was seen, but no Taishi. The grand master did not appear until the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty. For example, the Taishi Palace of Shanding, the Taishi boy Shiwang of Shi Wangding, and the Bo Taishi of Bokehu. Later, the vassal states also set up officials as grand masters.

From this, it can be judged that this grand master's gui should have been cast in the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty. "

"Mr. Xiao is really knowledgeable, and it is really admirable that such uncommon records can be easily recounted." Shinichi Iwasaki praised him sincerely.

"Appraisal of cultural relics requires extensive knowledge. If you don't have such basic skills, the level of appraisal will definitely not be much higher." Xiao Yao said indifferently.

After harvesting the treasures of high-grade luck one after another, Xiao Yao's heart was filled with joy. For him, a top-grade luck treasure is more precious than a five- or six-level cultivation item, and the harvest so far today is really too great.

After looking at two more treasure rooms, it was already noon, and the Iwasaki family prepared a sumptuous reception lunch, but Xiao Yao didn't care about eating and drinking, so it ended in an hour and a half without a break, and continued to go to other treasure rooms to choose.

Xiao Yao's good luck may have been exhausted in the morning, and there was only the last treasure room that he hadn't looked at. Apart from picking out more than a dozen national treasure-level cultural relics, he had no other more important gains. up.

He had already gained enough in the morning. Originally, he had no greater expectations, but when he approached the door of the last treasure room, a dazzling golden light of luck appeared in his consciousness.

Although the light of luck is not the highest purple, the golden light of luck is still very rare, which shows that there should be a treasure of middle luck in this treasure room.

Opening the door and walking in, Xiao Yao's eyes fell directly on this treasure of luck.

This is a very special group of treasures of good luck. From a distance, it should be an Arabic copper furnace bottle box. The reason why it is concluded that this is an Arabic bronze is because there are Arabic characters on the outer wall of the bronze.

He directly came to the front of this Arabic stove bottle box and began to appreciate it slowly.

The outer walls of these three bronze vessels are engraved with an Arabic sentence,

One group means "Allah, the only Allah", another group means "Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah", and the last group means "Allah is kind and merciful", all of which have regular script "Daming Zhengde Annual System" at the bottom.

Apparently, this group of three pieces is the stove bottle box incense set cast in the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty.

The copper vase has a round lip, a long vertical neck, a round belly, a high support ring foot, and a narrow edge on the sole of the foot. The body of the bottle is double-sided in a fancy way, the shape is consistent with the copper furnace, and the outer wall is decorated with Arabic characters, supplemented by caviar pattern.

The body of the bottle has a ruddy leather shell, and the inner color of the copper skin can be seen inside the ring foot, the deep reddish red, dark and dignified. Copper box cane section style, mother and child mouth, the outer edge of the box cover is hollowed around, and the inside is circular, with caviar patterns all over the place, and there are Arabic characters on it.

The copper furnace is of the Li style, with a square and thick lip, and the inner and outer edges are lined. The high beam neck has two string patterns on it. The furnace belly is round and bulging, three sides are illuminated in a fancy way, and the inside is decorated with caviar patterns, embossed in Arabic.

The three legs protrude naturally along the bottom, the top and bottom are the same width, and the middle part is closed. The three legs are consecrated in three places facing the abdomen, impartially.

Wrapped in maroon leather, the whole vessel is as bright as a mirror and touches like skin. This kind of touch is very special, and only the fine bronze wares of the Zhengde period can have this effect. The soles of the feet and the Arabic script reveal the true color of copper, which is golden and brilliant, pure and refined, and it sinks and presses the hand.

The copper box is similar to the bottle skin, the outer skin is relatively light due to its age, and blends with the copper color, red and yellow. The color in the box is deep, and the original appearance is complete.

The shapes, workmanship, and leather shells of these three bronze wares are harmonious and unified. The Arabic writing style is upright, the strokes are deep and serious, and they are meticulous. They are definitely treasures cast by Zhengde officials.

What made Xiao Yao particularly happy was that although these three bronzes were a set of utensils, they were three independent treasures of middle-grade luck. Obtaining three middle-grade luck treasures at once, although still not as good as one top-grade luck treasure, is still rare.

"Mr. Xiao, I have an impression of this group of bronzes from the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, but what I don't understand is why the inscriptions on the furnace wall are in Arabic?" Shinichi Iwasaki asked doubts in his heart.

"This is a long story to say."

Xiao Yao simply explained: "From the Tang and Song Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, *** culture showed a trend of continuous prosperity and development, and the number of *** people also continued to increase.

After experiencing the exchange and integration of the Mongolian, Yuan, and Eastern civilizations, the religion and the number of Christians in the Ming Dynasty developed more widely. According to the statistics of "Ming Shilu", during the century from Hongwu to Chenghua, there were nearly 70 batches of Western prostitutes coming to China, of which more than 300 came to China once in the sixth year of Xuande. The Ming Dynasty formed a new peak after the Yuan Dynasty's entry into the Central Plains.

In this context, related products that adapt to the needs of Chinese culture have emerged.

For example, the popular Arabic blue-and-white porcelain in the Yongxuan period, and the blue-and-white jug with folded branches and flowers are closely related to the lives of Japanese people.

Emperor Zhengde was Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty. According to literature research, he was most likely a Christian believer, and there are many examples to prove this point.

"Mingshu Wuzong Benji" contains: In September of the 14th year of Zhengde, Baoding last time banned private pigs, and it was written as an order.

Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty not only respected the canons, but also studied Arabic and Persian, and studied the scriptures. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Ping Bo Chen Dace once published Zhengde Commentary: Emperor Wuzong commented on various religions, saying that his courtiers said, "Although the learning of Confucianism can make things and become things, it is not enough to be deified; the study of Buddhism and Laozi is similar to deification , but cannot return to life and convert to truth. However, the teachings of all religions are all biased, but the teaching of halal confession of the Lord is deeply rooted in righteousness, so it has been taught for thousands of generations, and it will last forever. '

There is also an imperial poem saying: "One religion is mysterious and fans of other religions, but few people know its mystery." A Buddha is a human being and a cultivator is a Buddha. If you don’t respect God, who do you respect? Zhengde fourteen years October 12th. '

Since Emperor Zhengde was a Christian believer, it is not difficult to understand that he ordered the casting of bronzes in Chinese script. "

"It turns out that Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty was still a Christian believer. I really learned new knowledge today." Shinichi Iwasaki said sincerely.

After telling these things, Xiao Yao inevitably felt a little regretful.

As a Christian believer, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty combined his faith with the luck of the emperor. If such a group of bronzes were used by him every day, they would not be just treasures of middle-grade luck, but high-grade luck. Treasure.

The collections in the last treasure room are a little less rare in terms of rarity. Except for this group of middle-grade luck treasures, Xiao Yao can no longer take a fancy to them.

In the treasure room of the Iwasaki family, Xiao Yao selected a total of 78 various antique cultural relics. After finishing this work, he does not need to worry about the following things.

In the end, he only needs to verify whether the valuation of each product is reasonable, and nothing else matters.

It was not time for dinner yet, and Shinichi Iwasaki accompanied Xiao Yao to a tea room.

I don't know when the little girl with a disabled right hand appeared next to Iwasaki Shinichi again and was taken into the tea room by him.

Today's harvest is too great, Xiao Yao is in a good mood, and he really has a good impression of this quiet and shy little girl, so he no longer intentionally stretches it.

He began to bring the topic to the little girl, "Has Mei Yin always been this quiet? I think she is quite dependent on you. You must be a very kind grandfather in his eyes."

"Meiyin's right hand was congenitally deformed, and she has undergone three surgeries so far. Because of her physical disability, although I arranged for a special person to provide psychological counseling for her, her personality was inevitably affected, and now she is becoming more and more serious. Yue Wenjing has become introverted. Meiyin has been the closest to me since she was a child, and I love this child the most. Her right hand has always been my biggest concern."

Speaking of this, Shinichi Iwasaki took the opportunity to ask: "The development of modern medicine is still a bit slow. Although Mei Yin's right hand has been well corrected, there is still a clear difference compared with her left hand, especially the less Even if I have three fingers removed, there will be no significant change. Mr. Morgan and Mr. Rockefeller have been telling me that Mr. Xiao is a reincarnated god, I wonder if you can do anything about it?"

Faced with Iwasaki Shinichi's expectant eyes, Xiao Yao said with certainty: "I can make her three broken fingers grow back, and they are normal fingers. I guarantee that they will grow normally in the future and there will be no more deformities."

In fact, Xiao Yao can do more than that. He can make Meiyin's entire right hand as perfect as the normal left hand, and there is absolutely no difference.

But there was only one way to do that, and that was to cut off her entire right hand up to the wrist, and then regenerate the severed limb into a new perfect right hand.

It would be too bloody to do so, and Xiao Yao felt it was unnecessary. Because Meiyin's right hand has been corrected three times, it is close to normal. The biggest shortcoming now is the loss of three fingers. As long as he can make Meiyin's right hand grow back three perfect fingers, the problem will be solved.

"Really?"

After saying this, Iwasaki Shinichi immediately realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly corrected him: "Mr. Xiao, don't get me wrong, I'm just too excited, and it's not that I don't believe you. As the child's grandfather, I beg you to help Help her, she is still so young, and she will have a long life in the future, I am willing to pay any price for it!"

Yoshiaki Yasuda paid a high price for curing cancer, and Shinichi Iwasaki has obtained accurate information.

In his cognition, it is more difficult to regenerate a severed finger than to cure cancer. Although this does not involve life-threatening, but if he wants to invite Xiao Yao to treat him, the price he pays is more than what Yasuda Yoshiaki offered. Not much less.

He was ready to bleed heavily, and he was willing to pay any price compared to his granddaughter's health.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yao said: "You don't need to pay any price, I am still very emotional, this time you have helped me a lot, and I can help you within the scope of my ability, isn't it right? ?Besides, I like Meiyin very much. Such a kind and innocent child should spend his childhood carefree and grow up healthily.

Today is the first time Meiyin and I met, and I haven't given her any meeting gift yet, let her grow three perfect fingers again, let it be my gift to her. "

Iwasaki Shinichi has been following Xiao Yao's side in the past few days, isn't it just to win Xiao Yao's friendship and attention? Now that Xiao Yao took the initiative to express his closeness, he finally saw the reward, and of course he was in a better mood.

He couldn't wait to see his granddaughter's three fingers grow out, so he hurriedly asked, "What do you need me to prepare? I'll arrange it right away."

"You don't need to prepare anything, just watch from the side."

Xiao Yao waved to Meiyin, "Meiyin, can you come to Uncle's side?"

When Xiao Yao spoke, he exerted a little bit of mental strength, lest Mei Yin would not dare to come because she was too timid and fearful of him.

He likes Meiyin's innocence and quietness, but he doesn't have that much patience to coax the children.

Under the suggestion of Xiao Yao's mental strength, Meiyin felt that the uncle opposite looked very amiable and not intimidating at all, so she walked over obediently, blinking her big watery eyes, and said in a crisp voice: " Hello Uncle, my name is Meiyin, I like you."

Although Meiyin said such a simple sentence, it still surprised Iwasaki Shinichi.

Except for him and Meiyin's parents, Meiyin basically does not communicate with other people, and is even more resistant to strangers.

Today is the first time Meiyin sees Xiao Yao, and she doesn't reject him at all, and even greets him proactively, which is too abnormal. Iwasaki Shinichi can only attribute this matter to the fact that Xiao Yao is different from ordinary people, and even the extremely introverted Mei Yin will be attracted by him.

Xiao Yao continued to say in a soft tone: "Uncle likes you too, can uncle give you a gift?"

"Okay, uncle, what gift did you give me?" Mei Yin looked very expectant.

"Uncle will do a little magic trick for you, let's make the three missing fingers on your right hand grow back, shall we?"

"My three fingers were amputated by the doctor, can they grow back?"

"Yes, just watch if you don't believe me. It might be a little itchy later. I believe Meiyin is the bravest. Let's bear with it, shall we?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Yao stroked Meiyin's right hand with his right hand, then pointed to the positions of the three severed fingers and said, "Look, haven't they grown?"
