Chapter 373 Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain
"Teacher, how do I do this?"
The second treasure friend showed a porcelain sculpture.
The carving is of a dog, but the proportions of the dog's limbs are a bit uncoordinated, and the head is particularly large. It must have been artistically processed for some purpose.
What is special about this porcelain sculpture is the glaze color on its surface.
It turned out to be silvery white.
Under the illumination of the light, it seems to be plated with a layer of silver.
After Zhang Yang looked carefully for a moment, he recognized the origin of this thing.
"Friend Bao, where did this thing come from?"
"It has been passed down from my ancestors and has been kept at home for decades. It has always been placed on my desk as a decoration."
"On the desk? Then you won't touch it if you have nothing to do, right?"
"Touching, I just washed my hands and touched it." Baoyou sounded a little confused and asked, "Can't porcelain be touched with your hands?"
[Hahaha, I feel like there is something wrong with this thing]
[It’s not made of excrement, right?]
[This thing looks like mercury, it should be buried as a burial object]
[If it is mercury, then there is mercury, and Baoyou may have been poisoned]
Baoyou looked at the barrage and suddenly panicked, and quickly asked Zhang Yang:
"Teacher, will you get mercury poisoning if you touch this thing?"
"How is it possible? Don't listen to the nonsense. Is mercury Qin this color? I understand but I don't understand."
"Huh, then I'm relieved."
"Yeah, at most you have lead poisoning." Zhang Yang nodded and said.
"What?" Baoyou was surprised, "Lead poisoning, how can there be lead?"
Although he was still questioning with his mouth, his body was honest and he had put the porcelain sculpture back on the table.
I dare not touch it again.
"Because of this thing, this glaze on the outside. It's called lead glaze."
"The reason why it appears white is the surface deposits generated after the lead glaze is dissolved. Its scientific name is pseudo-silver glaze."
"Didn't your family tell you that this was dug out of a Han Dynasty tomb? As long as you see the glaze color of Han Dynasty pottery, you should understand it."
"It must be lead glaze."
"No." Baoyou's mind was on "lead" and he answered casually, "The old man at home said that this thing was dug out when digging the earth."
"When I was a kid, I thought this thing was so fun, I would fall asleep holding it in my arms."
"Teacher, I am bald now. Could it be because of lead poisoning?" Baoyou said suddenly very worriedly.
"Generally speaking, there is no direct relationship between lead poisoning and hair loss." Zhang Yang comforted, "But I still recommend that you check the heavy metal content in your blood as soon as possible to know whether you have lead poisoning."
"Thank you, no, thank you Master Zhang."
The sincerity in Baoyou's tone was the most genuine he had ever seen in Zhang Yang's live broadcast for so long.
"How about I donate this dog to your museum, teacher? This thing is of no use to me anyway."
"Don't worry, wait until you finish the blood test, just in case everything is fine."
Zhang Yang advised Baoyou not to make impulsive decisions, lest he regret it later.
Besides, there are quite a few lead-glazed pottery from the Han Dynasty in the Hailin Museum, so there is actually not a shortage of them.
Because this kind of thing is easy to make, almost every household had one in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
[The reason why ancient people had short lifespans was found]
[In fact, some overglaze colored porcelain now also contains heavy metals such as lead]
[The name lead glaze sounds like heavy metal]
[This is why I don’t eat from ceramics]
[It is better to use pure iron kitchen utensils, which can supplement iron]
"There is no need to panic." Zhang Yang responded to the barrage question.
"If you keep old things and don't use them for eating or drinking, there's basically no problem."
"With today's porcelain, if you buy the national standard, it will definitely be fine."
"Of course, if you insist on licking the pottery from the Han Dynasty, you can try poison, but it will only cause gastrointestinal discomfort at most."
"Okay, let's stop discussing the issue of ceramic toxicity. The next treasure friend can't wait."
…
"It's okay, teacher, I can wait a little longer." The new friend Bao said with a smile, "I saw the barrage quarrel was so interesting."
"It's outrageous that porcelain can cause quarrels whether it's poisonous or not."
"It's okay, just take out your treasure and I'll find a way to get them to have a fight over your stuff."
Zhang Yang made a gesture of invitation.
At the other end of the video, Baoyou showed a piece of bronze.
A piece of [Bronze Tigua Bagua Ornament].
It's about 20 centimeters in diameter.
On the front of the Bagua, in the center is a Tai Chi yin and yang fish picture, surrounded by the words "Heaven, Zee, Earth, Fire, Wind, Thunder, Mountain, and Water".
The outer circle is the hexagrams of "Qian, Dui, Kun, Li, Xun, Zhen, Gen and Kan".
On the back of the Bagua, there are four characters written in big characters: "Treasure of the House".
In the middle part of the four characters, there are reliefs with the patterns of "Green Dragon, Suzaku, White Tiger, Xuanwu".
The carving is exquisite, the patterns are vivid, the shapes are simple, and the coating is round...
One glance is the truth.
"Friend Bao, this thing of yours is pretty good. It looks like an old thing at first glance."
"It should be in the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, and the latest is Qianlong."
"Really?" Baoyou asked happily, "Then I bought it for 70,000 yuan, how much did I earn?"
Seventy thousand?
Zhang Yang thought he heard wrongly at first.
Because the four words "treasure of the house" have already fixed the grade of this thing.
This is a magical artifact that the common people asked for from Taoist temples and used it to guard their homes.
That is to say, if the condition is well preserved, Zhang Yang can give it the appearance of fifteen thousand.
Seventy thousand? There must be a story behind it.
"Let's not talk about money first. What's the origin of this thing of yours?" Zhang Yang asked.
"The origin is unknown, but it is matched with a sword."
"That sword has a story and is engraved with words."
Baoyou put down the bronze mirror and took out a long sword with a scabbard from under the table.
The hilt of the sword is nothing special, it looks similar to the sword used by the troupe.
But when he pulled it out, a cold light flashed, making Zhang Yang realize that this thing was not simple.
Look at the tip of the sword again. Why isn't it sharp?
Semicircular... then this is not a sword, but a sword-shaped knife.
There are four grooves on the back of the knife, and hexagrams are engraved between the two adjacent grooves.
Fortunately, I reviewed it when I was reading the Bagua just now, and Zhang Yang was able to recognize it. The hexagrams engraved on it were "Kun, Li, Zhen, and Xun".
There are three lines of inscriptions engraved on the root of the blade:
[The horizontal sword comes out, smiles to the sky, does not kill, the liver and gallbladder shine, the 29th year of Guangxu, Chang'an Hansan]
Inscribing no killing on the knife means that the original owner of the knife has something.
"Wait a moment, let me help you check the information of the owner of this knife."
"Ah? Teacher, have you found the owner of the knife now?" Baoyou asked in surprise.
"First of all, there are Taoist hexagrams on it; secondly, the owner of the sword is named Hansan; finally, it was cast in the 29th year of Guangxu, that is, 1903."
"The only person who meets these requirements and is somewhat famous is this one."
Zhang Yang directly displayed the searched information to the audience in the live broadcast room.
The owner of the sword is: Tuanxu Taoist, Li Zongyang.
This man was once named "Dade Zen Master" by Guangxu. After becoming the abbot of Xuanmiao Temple, he built a Red Cross Hospital and an orphanage in the temple.
Such an experience makes him a legend among Taoist priests.
"Friend Bao, you have made a fortune." Zhang Yang analyzed it very seriously, "Only the resume of Taoist Tuanxu, plus the quality of your knife itself."
"It can sell at least...80,000!"
[Zhuo, I was scared to death. I thought it was 800,000 yuan by looking at the gestures]
[I made 10,000 yuan by co-authoring it]
[How famous can a person who needs to be searched to find out be?]
"You only made ten thousand?"
"No, it's twenty-five thousand with the bronze mirror."
"Besides, what happened to 10,000 yuan? How come there are still people in the live broadcast room who look down on 10,000 yuan?" Zhang Yang comforted Baoyou, "You are already very good. These barrage makers are losing at least 10,000 yuan per capita."
