My system is not decent

Chapter 1683

In ancient times when there were no cars, horses and sedan chairs were commonly used by princes and nobles to travel.

As early as 4000 years ago, sedan chairs appeared in ancient China.

In the "Shangshu" recorded "I ride for four years, and publish wood with the mountain", the sedan chair is the most important one in the "four years".

In ancient weddings, sedan chairs are also indispensable.

The bride with Fengguan Xiapei will be sent to the wedding hall in a sedan chair, followed by ten miles of red makeup stretching along the long street.

In the popular cultural and exploratory program "National Treasure", an extremely delicate and complicated cultural relic "Boning Wangong sedan chair" was exhibited, which can be called "the best sedan chair in the world".

It is completely different from the traditional sedan chair, it looks resplendent and resplendent, like a small palace.

Its appearance can satisfy the vision of "carrying a big sedan chair eight times and wearing red makeup for ten miles" in the hearts of all women.

This Wangong sedan chair was collected from Bonin in 1954.

It is a sedan chair unique to the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and its size and shape are similar to the sedan chair in front of Chen Wenzhe.

Anyway, such a sedan chair has an extremely gorgeous and eye-catching appearance.

This small sedan chair has seven floors of pavilions and five main courtyards, which means "five mountains facing the sky".

It is said that it takes [-] man-hours to make one, so it is called "Wangong sedan chair".

Its whole is composed of car roof, car cover, car body and various embossed decorations.

There are as many as 400 carved figures of various colors on the sedan chair, depicting drama scenes such as "The Story of Huansha", "The Story of the West Chamber", "Water Margin", "The Story of the Jingchai" and so on.

Moreover, the movable concealed buckle is carefully installed, as long as the sedan chair is moved, these characters will also shake.

另外轿子上还雕了24只凤凰、38条龙、54只仙鹤、74只喜鹊和92只狮子。

In addition, exquisite palace lanterns, multicolored gold embroidered sedan chairs, crystal ball tassels, and red gold woodcarved sedan chairs...

The entire sedan chair is luxurious, exquisite and beautiful.

The most interesting thing is that this kind of sedan chair has no sedan door and does not need a nail. It adopts a mortise and tenon structure, and all the flower panels can be disassembled.

When picking up and sending off relatives, there will be a special sedan chair disassembler.

When the bride enters the sedan chair and exits the sedan chair, the flower board needs to be removed.

Although this is troublesome and complicated, it ensures the stability of the sedan chair structure and the integrity of the art.

In addition to being "beautiful", the whole sedan chair is "expensive".

The gold leaf and gold-lacquered wood carvings on the sedan chair are all made of real gold.

Needless to say, only the rich could afford to rent this kind of sedan chair.

It is said that the son of Sheng Xuanhuai, the business father of our country, married the daughter of Yu Qiaqing, using this kind of resplendent and resplendent Wangong sedan chair.

There is also an interesting legend about this kind of universal sedan chair.

It is said that before Zhao Gou became emperor, he was hunted down by Jin soldiers to Boning.

Fortunately, a Huansha girl rescued him and hid him under the white gauze so Jin Bing didn't find him.

Later, when Zhao Gou became emperor, he wanted to repay the lifesaver.

But after searching for a long time, they couldn't find the girl, so they ordered all the women in Bonin to enjoy the treatment of "half a ride" when they get married.

The authenticity of this legend cannot be tested, but the appearance of this sedan chair has a lot to do with Boning's technology and economic prosperity at that time.

From these customs, we can also see the development trend of a city at that time.

Nowadays, Chinese-style weddings have been gradually replaced by Western-style weddings, and red makeup has become a scene that can only be seen in film and television dramas.

Therefore, this sedan chair can only be hidden in the museum as an isolated cultural relic, showing visitors the dreams of red makeup that it has witnessed one after another.

However, there are no absolutes in the world. With the continuous improvement of China's comprehensive national strength, various Chinese etiquettes are slowly being restored.

Such as getting married, such as graduating from college.

It turns out that after graduating from a college student, he wears a black robe on his body, just like a black wizard.

Now there are universities that wear Hanfu for graduation ceremonies.

This is also national self-confidence, which is more obvious when you get married.

It's just that Chinese weddings are too luxurious, and ordinary people can't afford them.

Not to mention wedding clothes, even a sedan chair, most people can't afford it.

However, since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there have been big merchants in Boning, such as the current Dahai City, and even the dialect of Dahai dialect is passed down from Boning.

Therefore, there is never a shortage of rich people around the sea, and they should also be able to use this kind of Wangong sedan chair.

So after seeing him, Chen Wenzhe would be surprised, why didn't those wealthy people from Boning buy this sedan chair?

Such a sedan chair, even if it sells for several million, those rich people will definitely not hesitate to buy it.

Chen Wenzhe looked at the sedan chair slowly taking shape, it was really beautiful.

The most important thing is that it took a long time to build this sedan chair.

It should have been built by craftsmen in the Qing Dynasty, and it must have taken more than 1 man-hours.

This kind of sedan chair used to pick up and send off the bride is very gorgeous and rich, and looks like a moving palace from a distance.

Such a palace-like sedan chair is actually all made of mortise and tenon structure, and a single nail is useless.

So it's amazing that such a huge amount of manpower and material resources were spent in the manufacturing process.

In addition, the reliefs of Wangong sedan chair are of great ornamental value. There are three techniques of round carving, relief carving and openwork carving, and countless figures of flowers and birds are carved out, which is too beautiful to behold.

There are also many opera scenes carved on the sedan chair, which are very interesting.

The sedan chair is also decorated with gold leaf, which is very elegant and luxurious.

And such a sedan chair, obviously, even in ancient times, not everyone could afford it.

Therefore, the Wangong sedan chair at that time was used for rent as a bridal sedan chair.

Even so, only very rich ladies at that time could sit on it once.

And as long as you ride it, you will definitely be envied.

Seeing this sedan chair, Chen Wenzhe's carpentry and wood carving skills must have reached the level of a master, not to mention anything else.

Each of such exquisite sedan chairs is meticulously crafted and made by the top craftsmen at that time.

Because without that skill and self-confidence, it is certainly impossible to spend more than 1 working hours to make such a sedan chair.

Because it can't be done well, no one will spend a lot of money to rent it.

Such a sedan chair contains top-notch woodworking and carving skills.

"I'll give you 500 million yuan for this sedan chair. It may not be worth the price, but this thing has a price and no market. Maybe we can still use it when our brothers get married."

Chen Wenzhe was very satisfied that Cao Qingchun was able to snatch the sedan chair from the rich man in Boning.

This thing is not something that can be bought with money now, let alone someone with money can make a copy of it.

Regardless of whether Cao Qingchun got it by chance or deliberately, it is all his ability.

Besides, Chen Wenzhe really doesn't take those millions of dollars seriously now.
