My system is not decent

Chapter 1357
To put it simply, although this "song" rhymes, there is only one central idea, which is to remind Lu Hui that bronze mirrors must be forged where there is water;
Lu Hui knew that it was "the help of God and man", and after thanking him, he moved the furnace to a boat and forged the "precious mirror" in the Yangtze River.

At noon on the fifth day of May, the mirrors were being cast.

Suddenly the river set off a "thirty feet" wave, and there was the sound of dragon chant, which could be heard for hundreds of miles around;

What's even more miraculous is that the huge waves hit the fiery red bronze mirror, instantly "mirror complete".

So far, later generations call it "Yangtze Jiangxin Mirror", and some people call it "Dragon Mirror".

Speaking of this, some people may say, "This is just a story. There are many such examples in historical materials, which is not enough to believe."

In fact, Tang Xuanzong at the time thought so too, so although he accepted the "Jiang Xin Mirror" as a tribute, he didn't take it seriously.

Until the eighth year of Tianbao, there was a severe drought in the central Qin Dynasty, and Emperor Xuanzong prayed for rain in person, but after a few days there was no effect;
Xuanzong couldn't hold back his face, so he asked the monks around him why.

A Taoist said that although Xuanzong was the "son of the real dragon", there was no "real dragon" in the magic weapon for praying for rain, so he couldn't pray for rain.

Xuanzong asked what is the "true dragon", and the Taoist said: The tribute "Dragon Mirror" many years ago, that is, Jiang Xinjing;

Xuanzong was dubious, so he took out Jiang Xinjing to pray for rain.

The moment the Dragon Realm was taken out, two streams of white air from the Hall of Begging Rain rushed straight into the Dragon Mirror.

Two streams of white air also rose from the mirror, and the white air on the main hall diffused into one piece, and then overflowed outside the hall.

At this point, it rained heavily for seven consecutive days. This year, Tang Wanmin enjoyed a bumper harvest.

Since then, every year on the fifth day of May, Yang City will hold a grand sacrificial ceremony;

The casting of "Jiangxin Mirror" must also be ignited at noon on the fifth day of May, and a set of strict sacrificial procedures has been formed.

The meaning of "Jiangxin mirror" in historical materials is more complicated. For example, May [-]th is the fire moon and fire day, which is the time of Yang Sheng. At this time, fire is used to overcome gold, which is the best time to melt gold and cast mirrors;
Water belongs to yin, and the center of the Yangtze River is the place of yin. Therefore, casting a mirror on the yin place during the yang time is the best place for the balance of yin and yang in the world.

In addition, the bronze mirror is gold, the river is water, the boat is wood, the sun and the moon are fire, and the fan is soil (casting mold). divine power";
Of course, this is just a brief introduction, and the historical materials are more detailed and complicated, so I dare not make wild guesses and translations here.

All in all, "Jiang Xin Jing" became a well-known "divine object" in Tang Dynasty.

It is also a "superior magic weapon" that cannot be obtained in the rain-seeking ceremony and needs to be sacrificed separately.

Even today, on the banks of the Yangtze River, there is still a custom of offering sacrifices to the "Jiangxin Mirror".

As some modern people think, experts must not believe this historical record.

In modern archaeological excavations, the so-called "Jiangxin Mirror" has never been unearthed.

Therefore, before discovering the wreck of the "Black Stone", many experts did not believe that it really existed;

Although Jiang Xinjing has been discovered now, experts still don't believe it.

The reason is also very simple. There is an inscription on this bronze mirror, "Yangtze Jiangxin Bailian was created in the Yangzi River on November [-]th in the first year of Tang Qianyuan".

In other words, its casting time is "November [-]th", not "May [-]th" in historical materials.

Therefore, it still cannot be regarded as a "Dragon Mirror" in the true sense. It can only be said to be a bronze mirror produced in the Yangtze River for "export and export".

Regardless of whether experts believe it or not, this bronze mirror at least proves that the "Jiang Xin Mirror" is not a legend.

As for the "real dragon power", that's another matter;
It is a little regrettable that this precious cultural relic is currently in Lijiapo, but fortunately it is still collected by Chinese descent.

It's all right now, I didn't expect that apart from the three substandard Jiang Xin mirrors from abroad, now Chen Wenzhe unexpectedly found a genuine one.

With this discovery, Chen Wenzhe paid more attention to this batch of accidentally discovered bronze mirrors.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find any antiques from before the Ming Dynasty.

This Jiang Xinlong mirror from the Tang Dynasty must have been on the ship by accident, right?

In fact, this is considered normal. If there are many mirrors of Jiang Xin, then such mirrors will not be too precious.

If the output of Jiang Xinjing is too high, it is impossible for the country to find none of them.

This point, from some literature, can also find some clues.

Because it is estimated that from the time when Yang City officials paid tribute to Bailian mirrors to Tang Dezong's order to stop casting mirrors, the time for Yang City to cast May [-]th mirrors is estimated to be more than [-] years at most.

Since the mirror was cast at noon on May [-]th to pay tribute to the royal family, and the success rate of casting was very low.

Therefore, there are very few May [-]th mirrors in the world, and this thing is a relatively rare type of bronze mirror.

"Bright bronze mirror, mottled white silk on the temples."

In ancient my country, bronze mirrors were indispensable daily utensils for people, and their main purpose was to organize makeup.

However, "Jiang Xinjing" has its own mysterious aura, but we didn't know what Jiang Xinjing really looked like before.

When the Black Stone salvaged Jiang Xinjing, it immediately shocked the entire cultural relics world.

Because it provides an important physical basis for the study of "Jiang Xin Jing".

It is undeniable that the workmanship of Jiang Xin Mirror is very exquisite, and the four auspicious animals carved on the back of the bronze mirror give people a sense of solemnity.

Qinglong seems to be about to take off into the sky, Baihu is about to run, Suzaku is flying with its head held high, and Xuanwu is crawling on the ground.

In addition to using four auspicious beasts as decorations, auspicious clouds are also patched in the blank spaces to make the whole look more beautiful

But there is a problem worth pondering, it can "call the wind and call the rain", this statement is wrong.

According to legend, there is a bronze mirror like Jiang Xin Mirror, which can call wind and rain.

But does it really have the function of "calling the wind and calling the rain"?
Even if there is a mirror of Jiang Xin now, Chen Wenzhe cannot confirm it.

There is a high possibility that it is blowing, because it is unscientific.

However, our country is a country with a long history, and folklore stories contain extremely rich cultural content.

The history of Huaxia allows the existence of legends, because it is also a part of history.

But for the false elements in the legend, we can't spread rumors.

Because the real "Jiang Xin Mirror" has been discovered, it was quietly placed there.

Speaking with real things is far more reliable than legends. After all, "calling the wind and calling the rain" cannot be realized by science and technology.

It is a fantasy to rely on a mirror to achieve it. This is definitely an unreliable behavior.

Since it is unreliable, it needs to be proved by some real things, so there will be modern archaeology.

Although Chen Wenzhe is not an archaeological expert, he is definitely a standard and qualified collector.

Since there is such a big harvest, it must be cherished and cleaned up.
