Live Jianbao: Baoyou, you are very wrong

Chapter 567 Ming Dynasty Buddha's Palm, Remnant of Oriental Goddess of Beauty

"The Buddha's hand first appeared in the Xia Kingdom after the Han Dynasty."

"So, if you see the carvings of bergamot relics before the Warring States Period, they are definitely fake."

Dr. Schaffer said firmly.

"why?"

"..."

Many treasure friends in the live broadcast room did not expect that someone could really ask this question.

A moment of silence.

See a message floating on the barrage.

"Is it possible that Buddhist thought appeared only after the Xia Kingdom arrived in the Han Dynasty?"

"!!!"

Several shocked expressions flashed across the barrage.

Everyone suddenly realized that there seemed to be no problem with saying so.

It was already the end of Han Dynasty when Buddhism appeared in the Xia Kingdom, and there was basically no bergamot before.

"According to Buddhist scriptures, bergamot first spread in the Northern Wei Dynasty."

When Dr. Shaffer talked about these things, Baoyou listened carefully.

"At that time, the bergamot was able to spread, mainly because of the worship of Buddha in the era. At the same time, the bergamot is elegant and has the homonym of Fushou, which is very auspicious."

Dr. Schaffer also went out of his way to find records.

"Many people make a special trip to the temple to touch the Buddha statue, the Buddha's hand, hoping to bring back good luck."

"Then this bergamot?"

The treasure friends vaguely felt that there was a connection, but they didn't expect the key point.

"Later, someone picked up the bergamot hand left after the failed carving, and couldn't bear to destroy it, and worried that disposing of it casually would anger the gods and Buddhas, so they took it home and made offerings."

"I didn't expect it to become a symbol of bergamot's ability to bless believers, and it is sought after by everyone."

"People rushed to temples and grottoes to find broken bergamot, and then there were specially made bergamot statues."

"After the folk became popular, many people in Buddhism also began to worship Buddha's hand."

"As for this one."

Dr. Schaffer held back slightly.

"In the Tianning Temple in Tiandu City, there is a golden nanmu Buddha statue, nine meters high, first carved in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and later destroyed by war, and re-carved at the end of the Ming Dynasty. This bergamot was carved out by the way."

"In addition to the Buddha statue, another hundred Buddha hands were carved out of the remaining material, each with a different palm print and eye patterns on the palm, which means the meaning of Buddha with thousands of hands and eyes."

The eyes of the treasure friends fell, and they saw a faint eye imprint in the palm lines of the Buddha.

"God!"

"Is this the Buddha's eye?"

"No wonder there is a thousand hands and a thousand eyes, so there is such a meaning in it!"

"Buddha bless, Amitabha!"

Friends are excited.

They asked Dr. Shaffer how much the Buddha statue was worth.

"This value cannot be said. According to Buddhism, it is a priceless treasure, but to ordinary people, it is just an ordinary golden nanmu statue."

"I see."

The treasure friends were in a trance for a while.

A series of laughing emojis floated across the barrage.

"What does it mean?"

Seeing that it was Wang Duoyu who was talking, the treasure friends calmed down and asked why.

"No... nothing, I just really want to laugh!"

Wang Duoyu sent out a barrage, laughing so hard that he was almost out of breath.

"Dr. Shaffer said so much, just one sentence, you all think this thing is of high value, but in fact it is not of high value outside of Buddhism, is it?"

"That's right!"

"It seems so."

"Yeah, is there a problem?"

The treasure friends don't understand what this is.

"Then you didn't notice at all that this thing itself is a carving of golden nanmu in the Ming Dynasty, right?"

"And Tianning Temple?"

Wang Duoyu laughed again.

"It has been a royal temple since the Northern Wei Dynasty. You don't think this place is simple, do you?"

After speaking, he displayed the information that Dr. Shaffer did not show.

"When Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was not proclaimed emperor, an eminent monk from the Peacock Kingdom gave him a bag of relics. After he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the bag of relics was enshrined in several places, including Tianning Temple."

"The Liao Dynasty officially established Yanjing as its capital, and Tianning Temple is the only big temple in the imperial palace."

"Tianning Temple was rebuilt in the 21st year of Kangxi, and it is also a royal temple."

"These experiences are beyond the simple Ming Dynasty golden nanmu carvings."

After the words fell, all the friends of Bao changed their faces.

They really didn't expect this temple to have such a background.

"Then this Buddha palm?"

Friends are a little curious.

"He Chaozong, a master Buddha statue sculptor in the Ming Dynasty, designed it himself."

Wang Duoyu's family has a lot of heritage, talking about these things is not in the slightest jerky, and even a little proud.

"At that time, Longxing Temple in Zhengding County was rebuilt, because there was already a statue of Avalokitesvara in the temple, and the host hoped to build another Buddha statue."

"But this matter was discussed with more than a dozen craftsmen, and I found out afterwards that it was not that the craftsmen couldn't do it, but that they knew that there was already a top-notch Buddha statue in the temple. It would be shameful if they couldn't surpass it."

"People who rely on craftsmanship for a living naturally don't want to have the reputation of poor craftsmanship, so no one dares to agree."

"The host has no choice but to find He Chaozong, a master of pottery carving in Dehua."

ceramics?

The treasure friends were a little stunned.

Ceramics and Buddha sculptures seem to be out of reach, right?

"Do not."

Dr. Shaffer also appeared at this time.

"Porcelain, jade, wood...these are all differences in materials, and there is actually no difference in itself when it comes to carving Buddha statues."

"Even after mastering one kind of carving technique, changing another way can better comprehend by analogy."

"He Chaozong combined the skills of porcelain carving and some other artistic methods to create an exquisite colorful statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva hanging on the mountain."

"This Avalokitesvara statue has caused an uproar in the country. Many people denounced it as not a Avalokitesvara statue, but a blasphemy against gods and Buddhas."

"Ok?"

Bao friends think this is a bit too exaggerated.

"Isn't it just that a Buddha statue can become a blasphemy Buddha, so outrageous?"

"The main reason is that this Guanyin statue is really different from ordinary Guanyin statues."

Dr. Shaffer naturally knew that the Buddha statue came forward and explained.

"Common Buddha statues are cross-legged or standing. It is rare to see Buddha statues with two legs, right?"

"Erlang legs?"

Now Baoyou couldn't hold back anymore, and even wanted to see what the rumored Erlang-legged Buddha statue looked like.

"well enough?"

"That's it? Where is Erlang's leg?"

The treasure friends asked Dr. Xia Fu to also send a photo of the Buddha statue, but they didn't expect that the treasure friends still thought this Buddha statue was very serious.

"Isn't this lying on your side and crossing your legs?"

"Yeah, my dad watches TV like this at home!"

"It does sound a bit like that, so I just said, why are they so familiar?"

"That's right, that's right!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw this situation.

Buddha statues, or Avalokitesvara statues are made like this, no wonder some people say deviant.

According to Xia Guo's consistent thinking, there is a difference between human beings and gods and Buddhas.

"This action greatly reduces the Buddha nature of the statue, but more human nature."

"Well said."

Dr. Shaffer nodded.

"Because of this extra humanity, this Buddha statue has also become a rare Buddha statue in the history of Xia Kingdom in a thousand years."

"And this Buddha's palm is carved from the fragment of this oriental goddess of beauty."

Baoyou nodded, no matter what, just nod!
