My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 350 The Shock Brought by the Moon Shadow Lantern
Fang Xing thought for a while, "How about the Moon Shadow Lantern?"

Since he wants to set up such a handicraft factory and produce this kind of product, he must publicize it.There is no doubt that the Antique Art Fair is a good platform.

The Moon Shadow Magic Lamp and its manufacturing technology and system have all been released.

"Moon Shadow Lantern? The one in the legend?" Qian Lao was a little confused and dumbfounded.

You know, that is a legendary treasure, which has been lost for 2000 years!

It is said that there is a special patch on the lampshade. Under certain circumstances, when the lamp is turned on, a moon shadow spectacle will appear.

If the word comes out of someone else's mouth, money is always a joke.But when the words came out of Fang Xing's mouth, the taste was different.

The Fang family even has national treasures such as "The Preface to the Collection of Lanting Pavilion", plus a moon shadow lamp, it seems that there is nothing strange about it.

"En! The one ordered by Emperor Sui Yang of the Sui Dynasty." Fang Xing nodded and gave Qian Lao an affirmative answer.

"Quick, let me see."

Mr. Qian is very depressed. If you have such a treasure, you should get it out sooner!

As soon as Fang Xing went to get the moon shadow lamp, Xu Qing brought her live broadcast room over.

"Hehe! You girl came at just the right time. Brother Fang is going to show off a lost national treasure again." Old Qian laughed.

Whether it was Xu Qing or the audience in her live broadcast room, they all looked at each other when they heard this.How many times has Fang Xing brought out the lost national treasure?
The lost treasures were all hidden by the ancestors of the Fang family?
"Really? What kind of treasure?" Xu Qing asked quickly.

"Don't worry, I'll find out in a while. My old man can tell everyone first that this is a rather fantastic treasure. The technology to make it has long been lost." Qian Lao said.

Fang Xing moved the Moon Shadow Lamp out and saw Xu Qing: "Why are you here?"

Recently, Xu Qing often went out and didn't know what to do all day long.

Mr. Qian was already looking at it with a magnifying glass, identifying the specific age of the lamp and so on.If this is the real Moon Shadow Lantern, Fang Xing's participation in the exhibition will definitely cause quite a stir.

You can imagine that scene. In the dim environment, the moon shadow lamp shows its fantastic side beautifully, which will definitely confuse those Westerners.

Is this an ancient technology?
Did the ancient Chinese know how to play like this?
"Come and see Brother Fang, where is Brother Liu? I haven't seen him recently. What is this?"

"Brother Liu is busy with other things, and it will probably take a while. This is the Moon Shadow Lantern, and I will show it to everyone later. To show the effect of the Moon Shadow Lantern, you need a certain environment."

The audience who had heard of Moon Shadow Lantern were all stunned at the moment.

Moonlight?Did you hear me right?That's something from the Sui Dynasty!And it has been lost for a long time.

Many people started discussing in the live broadcast room.

"Don't blow it up, what's the use of being fancy? Is it widely used? How can it promote human civilization? It's different in the West. They invented the electric light and opened up industrial civilization."

"Is the upstairs stupid? The electric light was only invented in modern times. If you want to complain, just complain about the bastards of the Qing Dynasty."

"That is, before the invention of the electric light, what was there in the West?"

"What? The kerosene lamp was also invented by others. The kerosene lamp came out. After it was introduced to China, it immediately replaced the original lighting tools in China."

Kerosene lamps were the main lighting tool before the popularization of electric lamps, using kerosene as fuel.

People who are a little older should be familiar with kerosene lamps.

In the 70s and [-]s, most rural households used kerosene lamps for lighting.Most of the kerosene lamps are made of glass, shaped like a gourd with a thin waist and big belly, with a lamp head shaped like a toad with an open mouth on it. There is a knob on the side of the lamp head that can adjust the wick in and out to control the brightness of the lamp.

Since the end of Qing Dynasty, kerosene lamps were introduced into China.The beautiful lamps, advanced fuel, scientific combustion method and several times the brightness of old oil lamps make it attract the attention of Chinese people.

In particular, some foreign oil companies use kerosene lamps as a stepping stone to sell their own oil products to the Chinese people.They provide free kerosene lamps to the Chinese, and even supply part of the fuel for free so that people can try it out.

"What about before the kerosene lamp? It wasn't long before the kerosene lamp was invented." Fang Xing asked after watching the speeches in the live broadcast room.

"my country's lamps and lanterns have been inherited for more than 2000 years. Mature lamps began to appear in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At that time, the West still lit torches!"

Of course, before the Han Dynasty, lamps and lanterns were still luxury goods, and ordinary people could not use them.

Because there was no vegetable oil at that time, the oil lamps used animal oil, and the source of materials was limited. If spices were added, it would be even more expensive.It used to be lit by beams of firewood, and the room was full of fireworks, but now there are equipment such as oil lamps, which represents a revolutionary progress.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, with the maturity of celadon technology, celadon lamps began to replace the previous bronze lamps.Due to the low cost of celadon lamps and easy popularization, oil lamps with certain shapes and decorations began to be widely used by the people.

With the highly developed economy of the Tang Dynasty, a large number of practical and decorative or purely decorative lamps began to appear in the palace and lantern festivals, such as lamp wheels, lamp trees, lamp towers, lamp servants, lanterns, revolving horse lamps, turpentine lamps, wind lamps, etc.

In the Song Dynasty, a kind of "oil-saving lamp" was invented.

Oil lamps are generally made of copper, iron, and tin, with a plate underneath and a pillar in the middle. The cup is not hot, so it can save fuel.

In short, China is the ancestor when it comes to lighting fixtures.

Of course, it is undeniable that China missed the era of the technological explosion in the Qing Dynasty, which led to the gradual decline of the culture that China has always been proud of, and could not hold its head up for a long time.

Qian Lao smiled and said: "Yes! That's right! Know your own shortcomings, but don't blindly deny your own culture. If you don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about porcelain! Westerners couldn't imagine before that such beautiful porcelain is actually clay-fired. from."

Isn't it?
Porcelain traveled across the ocean to Europe, and only nobles and royal families could use it, and they were proud to own a piece of Chinese porcelain.How could they imagine that the porcelain they regarded as treasures was actually made of clay.

"We have to look forward, learn and create more technological culture, and it is best not to forget our own traditional culture."

have to!These words came from a respectable person like Mr. Qian, and few people dared to yell at him.

"Find a dark room and try the effect!" Qian Lao was also looking forward to it.

Just now, he has carefully identified that this is indeed an object from the Sui and Tang Dynasties.I really don't understand how the Fang family got it.But that's okay, without the Fang family's collection, this kind of treasure has long since disappeared in history.
