Riding the wind of rebirth

"Elbow is really spiritual." Mr. Wang said with a smile, "You know I'm collecting bird food jars?"

"Well, I heard from Master Ma that we just met yesterday."

"Then thank you all." The old man is also an open-minded person, and he put the bird food jar on the table of the Eight Immortals in Huanghuali beside him, and looked up and down at Zhou Zhi: "Well, I know that you are going to have a bj, kid, but I didn't expect to meet so soon "Your name, old man, I've heard it several times."

"No way, Master?" This time it was Master Ma's turn to be surprised: "How did you know that Elbow is coming? We only met yesterday through Feng Cang, Wang Shuo and the others."

Seeing Zhou Zhi was also surprised. The old man showed a successful prank expression, and said to the other two researchers: "This kid is not simple. Didn't I just get nominated for the National Book Award this year? He is the same."

"Really?" The two researchers were taken aback. At first they thought this boy was a junior brought by Ma Weiwei, but they didn't expect to be able to stand side by side with Mr. Wang in this respect.

"It's not over." The old man looked at Zhou Zhi with a smile: "The two things that Dan Zeng sent for appraisal a while ago are the most important Tibetan cultural relics discovered so far? He discovered them and donated them to the Shudu University Museum." of."

"'Two Buddhas, Three Buddhas, Seven Treasures, Thangka Spiritual Objects, Treasure Letter for Enshrining'?"

"'The Corpse Illustrated Book of the Sutra of Blessing the King with Three Causes of Longevity'?!"

Both researchers were completely dumbfounded.

"Dan Zeng called a few days ago and said that the child has come to the capital and asked me to take care of it." The old man smiled and said, "It turns out that you have already come here before I have time to find you."

"So this circle is still too small." Zhou Zhi was moved but also a little dumbfounded.

There are all big bosses in the circle of big bosses. Once the master found such a person to take care of him, he never thought that his small body would not be able to bear it...

"There is also Xinchao Stamping Ten, the one at the National Expo." The old man continued to throw bombs out: "That is the evidence that changed the history of ancient machinery in our country. The importance is beyond doubt, right?"

"That's it." Researcher Chen said: "At that time, Lao Wang and I were communicating with the people at the National Expo, saying that fortunately, the ten was discovered by a knowledgeable person, so it was not buried among ordinary coins. It hasn't been ground to remove stamping marks either."

"Speaking of it, everyone calls it a fluke." Researcher Wang also felt sympathetic.

"Let me introduce you." The old man spread his hands mischievously at Zhou Zhi: "Zhou Zhi, he is the one who discovered the stamping ten coins in the new dynasty. He advanced the use of stamping equipment in our country by at least 1000 years."

"In addition..." Without giving the two researchers too much time, the old man followed up and said: "The elbow is also the discoverer of the Jianyuan tombstone, and he found evidence from the physical objects, which completely ended the first study about China's use in thousands of years. The reign name, is it a 'Jianyuan' controversy!"

"..." The two researchers were already speechless in shock.

In the eyes of the general public, these few incidents are just a small piece of inconspicuous tofu in the newspaper. It is just a sentence in the news, and it will not make any waves.

However, in the eyes of those engaged in literature and history research, this is nothing less than a ground-breaking discovery.

It is possible to change the academic world's understanding of history and resolve controversies over historical mysteries. Countless literary and historical workers have dedicated their lives to such an opportunity, and it may not happen once.

However, the two asked themselves, when such an opportunity came to them, would they be able to grasp it?

How many people, even professional literary and historical workers, can immediately think of the controversy about China's first year name in the literary and historical circles when they see the eight characters "Zhang Zao, Shu County in the fourth year of Jianyuan" in ink?

How many people, even professional cultural and historical workers, can immediately think that it may be made by a special method when they see Wang Mang, which looks like a beer bottle cap, for ten coins?

】

Once can indeed be regarded as accidental, twice?three times?
"This is really the wave behind the Yangtze River pushing the wave ahead." Researcher Chen said with a smile: "In this way, Elder has studied tombs. Look at this pair of figurines."

"No, I'm relatively familiar with Han tombs and Song tombs. This pair of figurines is different from anything I've ever seen."

"What's the difference?"

"Are these figurines of civil servants and warriors?"

"Yes, Elbow, you will determine the generations."

This pair of figurines is indeed very "beautiful". The warrior figurines inherit the exaggeration of the Han figurines. They stand upright in front of their bodies with their left hand, a shield on the ground, and a fist with their right hand. The chest is in the style of "Mingguang armor" with a breast shield lens, and the right leg exposed behind the shield is wearing pants, which should be called "kun" in ancient times, and the feet are flat boots, which are extremely powerful.

The open face of the warrior warriors is commendable, with round and protruding eyes, curly beard, thick nose, thick lips, downturned corners of the mouth, and protruding chin. The whole posture and expression are in a "military posture" waiting for review vivid image.

The face of civil servants is different. It is one-third smaller than the face of military generals. It has changed from "Tianzi face" to "Muzi face". The opening is small, and the corners of the mouth sink deep into the plump cheeks, creating a smiling face.

The upper edge of the two ears is level with the eyebrows, and the lower edge is in line with the corners of the mouth. In ancient times, this is a kind of blessing image. In historical records, Liu Bei is like this, and there are many Buddha statues as well.

Civilian figurines wear leather crowns, which are different from common civil figurines in Zhouzhi. They seem to be more similar to the "leather bean" seen on the head of Qin Shihuang's terracotta warriors. The wide-sleeved shirts on their bodies are even more peculiar. The chest, the hands are hidden in the sleeves, and the length of the hem of the sleeves exceeds the knee.

The style of the jacket is also different from that of the left qin in the Central Plains, with a flat button on the left and right shoulders. It seems that the robes of the civil servants also wear a brocade jacket with a border. Evolved, the hem length is above the knee, not as deep as the sleeves.

The hem of the clothes is very different from the traditional civil servants' clothes. The clothes of the Han people have been upper clothes and lower clothes since the Zhou Dynasty. "Shang" is a kind of clothing similar to skirts.

But for this civil servant, the hem of his "clothes" only reached halfway from his knees to his thighs, but he was wearing a pair of wide-leg "pants" on the surface!
The back of the trousers covered the feet of the civil servants, only the "cloud heads" of the flip-toe shoes were exposed.

Zhou Zhi looked at the figurines carefully: "I haven't studied the figurines, but judging from the costumes, they are not cultural relics of the Han regime. The Mingguang armor appeared in the Northern Wei Dynasty. The open face of this civil servant is somewhat similar to the standing Buddha statue in the Yungang Grottoes. , although this tomb adopts the funeral customs of the Han Dynasty, the costumes of the figurines still retain the characteristics of nomads."

"The bodies of the two figurines are painted with three colors. The clothes are red, the eyebrows and shoes are black. Although the face and hands are also black and gray now, they are caused by the oxidation of lead powder. They should have been pink before."

"This is a process of firing the figurines and then painting them outside. It is somewhat similar to the terracotta warriors, so I guess this should be a funerary figurine that only existed during the period of the northern minority regime."

"The pair of figurines must be 1.4 meters high, right? This shows the strong national power and artistic style at that time...so...Northern Wei Dynasty?"

Researcher Wang gave a thumbs up: "The elbow is fine, but you can't get it in the test. You can guess right."

Zhou Zhi hastened to be humble, and smiled awkwardly at Mr. Ma.

Master Ma also laughed, knowing where Zhou Zhi was embarrassed. It was the story we talked about on the way back yesterday. Guessing the origin with an authentic product in the museum and guessing the authenticity with something in Panjiayuan are really two different levels of difficulty.
