Baolu Tianxing

In the afternoon, there was nothing to do with Wu Chen. Huang Zhichao had his own way to go. He is about 40 years old this year and has been the director of the department for 5 years. He has always wanted to work hard to make further progress.Wu Chen took a nap in his room by himself, and felt a little bored after waking up. After thinking about it, he decided to go to Liulichang.

As the most famous antique collection and distribution center, Liulichang is located outside the Hepingmen in the current capital. From the Hepingmen subway exit, walk more than 200 meters to the south.Although the name is Chang, it is actually a street less than one kilometer, divided into east and west halves by South Xinhua Street.

It belonged to the suburbs in the Liao and Yuan Dynasties. After the Yuan Dynasty established the capital, out of the need to build palaces, official kilns were opened here to make glazed tiles, so it was named Liulichang; in the Ming Dynasty, the inner city and palaces were built, and the official kilns were expanded. The scale of Liulichang became one of the five factories of the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court at that time; after the construction of the outer city in the 32nd year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty, it became an urban area, and it was not suitable to burn kilns in the city, so the official kiln was moved to the current Liuliqu Village in Mentougou District , but the name "Liulichang" has been preserved and passed down to this day.

During the Shunzhi period in the early Qing Dynasty, "Manchu and Han lived in separate cities" was implemented in the capital.And Liulichang is just in the west of the outer city. At that time, most of the Han officials lived nearby. Later, guild halls all over the country were built nearby. Officials and exam candidates often gathered here to visit the book market, which made the Ming Dynasty prosperous Qianmen, Dengshikou and Chenghuangmiao Book Fair in Xicheng were gradually transferred to Liulichang.Booksellers from all over the world have also set up stalls, built rooms, and sold a large number of books here.

The bustling market and convenient conditions have formed the "Place for Elegant Tours in Kyoto", making Liulichang gradually develop into the largest book market in Beijing, forming a cultural market where people gather together, culturally related pens, inks, papers and inkstones, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc. It also developed accordingly.

At that time, the annual Dong'anmen Lantern Fair was also held here. In "Miscellaneous Songs of the Capital", there is a bamboo branch chanting: "The newly opened factory is worth the New Year, and the book department store is good. The handsome and elegant son, and the contacts are all scholars", which shows the prosperous scene here at that time.

In "Tengyin Miscellaneous Notes", the poem sent by Cheng Jinfang to Yuan Mei reflects a more real situation: "The family rests on the horse to comment on the treasures, and the cold guest stands in front of the old book."

The antique industry has always been a high-investment business. Those without certain economic power can only choose some high-quality and cheap old books at the second-hand book stalls.

There are many famous old stores in Liulichang, such as Huaiyin Shanfang, Ruguzhai, Guyizhai, Ruichengzhai, Cuiwenge, Yidege, Li Fushou Bizhuang, etc., as well as the largest ancient bookstore in China - Tianchao Bookstore , as well as the original three major bookstores in Xiliulichang - Commercial Press, Zhonghua Bookstore, and World Bookstore.

Of course, the most famous old shop is Rongbaozhai!Anyone who has read novels or serials about Rongbaozhai knows that its predecessor was "Songzhuzhai". The door plaque was inscribed by Lu Runxiang, a famous calligrapher at that time.

In the late Qing Dynasty, literati often gathered here.During the period of the Republic of China, the older generation of calligraphers and painters such as Yu Youren, Zhang Daqian, Wu Changshuo, Qi Baishi, etc., were frequent visitors here.So much so that today, in Rongbaozhai, many authentic works of these masters can still be seen, hanging on the wall for people to appreciate.

Of course, this kind of practice existed as early as the end of Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China. At that time, old Liulichang stores such as Rongbaozhai and Daqian Gallery competed to hang famous calligraphy and paintings in front of the windows, attracting people to stop and watch, and it became a landscape of Liulichang.At that time, Rongbaozhai also had the most famous paintings and was the most lively. Today, Rongbaozhai has long been state-run, and even the door plaque has been replaced by Guo Moruo's inscription.

Today's Liulichang has roughly returned to its original appearance after reconstruction.There are many century-old shops, and there are many authentic products, but the price is too expensive, which is far beyond what people like Wu Chen can afford. So he has been here before, but mainly for fun, as if he were going to a museum. As for shopping, you can bargain and buy some cheap handicrafts as souvenirs in some small stalls on the side or in the alleys that branch off.

Walking among the crowd, Wu Chen couldn't help sighing, how many people have been supported by an ancient trade, and how many of them are concerned about its true cultural value?Not to mention others, even myself, I also hope to change my life status by picking up the leaks, and pay more attention to the economic value. Perhaps, you need to accumulate to live a worry-free life before you can appreciate the true value of antiques.

Going further in, you have already passed the road section lined with famous shops, most of which are some storefronts converted from small bungalows facing the street, or small stalls set up on the side of the road.Wu Chen suddenly saw a stall in front of him, and suddenly burst out laughing, isn't that Brother Crooked Mouth.

This dude got here for some reason, and he even got a dirty yellow Taoist robe. He was staring at a pair of fake Nikes with no color at his feet. He was sitting there cross-legged, shaking his head and fooling the two female ghosts. While muttering, a pair of mouse eyes did not fall on the plump breasts of the two female ghosts.

One of the two female ghosts sat on the ground, and the other squatted, stretching their already plump bodies to become more sensual. They were not very old, and they were probably foreign students. Some esoteric words that come out of the mouth from time to time express amazement.

Wu Chen quietly walked to the side, listened for a long time, and found that they were actually talking about "Book of Changes", but many of them were not quite consistent with Wu Chen's understanding, so he didn't interrupt him right away, quietly stood aside and listened to Chen Wai. The mouth blows, "Let's just say that the map of the round sky and the place seems simple, so can you tell us what our Chinese ancestors did? It must be very useful to make this thing, right? Some people say that thousands of years ago, just this map It has fully embodied the mathematical concepts of the number of nine palaces and the second-order matrix. In fact, this is not the original intention of our ancestors, but the rules of quantification are the same. You will not think that the ancestors made this thing to represent Advanced math level back then? No, right?" Chen Wai said while staring at the two girls.

Those two ghost girls have studied in China for a period of time anyway, knowing that "ancestor" is the most precious thing, so how dare they say no, every time Chen Waizui asked, the two of them nodded their heads, and the sitting one The blond beauty also let out an "um", as if playing a rhythm, making Wu Chen so happy that she almost burst out laughing.

"Seeing that you are so studious, the little old man is reluctant to be a teacher today." Chen tilted his mouth and glanced at the pair of plump breasts, most of which were exposed, two white and fleshy balls, and squeezed out a thin strip. After sewing, I couldn't help wiping my saliva, thinking how I would fool around later, and show them the career line, it's completely free!

He cheered up and continued to talk: "The so-called use of square and circle has no boundaries. This picture is a two-dimensional matrix when it is small, and it is a universe model and a two-dimensional map of time and space when it is large. It is the so-called 'everything forest. Harmonious and orderly' is used to express the reality of the universe 'everything is densely arranged, and the Zen circle is integrated and introverted'. Therefore, the ancients also called this picture as 'the scope of the world is nothing but, and the music is all things without leaving behind'.

Do you know me?Oh, not me!It means the one who goes out of customs by sitting on the green bull, damn it!It is the one who wrote the "Tao Te Ching" in history!This Lao Tzu said: "Hold an elephant, and the world will go." ’ The meaning is the same as what I said today, "grasp the rules, and all problems will be solved easily"!That is to say, with a picture in hand, you can 'know the world without going out; know the way of heaven without peeping', so don't look at monks meditating, thinking they are sleeping, NO, NO, NO!They are thinking about things, what are they thinking about, thinking about heaven, thinking about elephants!Damn, it's not the ones in the zoo, it's this thing!this! "

The two ghost girls cooperated, and looked as if they had realized something, but they interrupted occasionally, which almost made Chen Waizui faint, and this was a lecture for foreigners.It's really not something ordinary people can do!It was not easy for the two chicks to understand that the so-called elephant was the picture in front of him.

"Isn't that 'Mandala'?" The brown beauty who was half squatting was probably a little tired. She was just curious, but she didn't expect it to become an "academic discussion", so she sat on the ground and raised her own questions.

The so-called "mandala" is a Western religious term, which refers to an all-encompassing model, which is enlightened in meditation. She understands it right, but Chen Waizui has never heard of a "mandala" before! "Contra" was played more than ten years ago.

Chen Waizui directly chose to ignore the messy "mandala", smiled and shook his head slightly, and then said: "For example, we had a comrade named Zhuangzi in ancient times, have you heard of it? I guess he was mentally ill today, yes, he was a little schizophrenic, he was in a daze at home all day, ancient otaku! Well, even if he occasionally looks at fish, beats birds, etc., it can’t change his otaku attributes. This guy, right now When it was almost moldy, I suddenly had an epiphany and wrote "A Happy Journey."

Wu Chen saw Chen Waizui's way of fooling around seriously today. Compared with him, Uncle Benshan is simply weak!Not even Chuang Tzu came out, Wu Chen had to admit that he had listened to it a little bit, just happened to be tired from shopping, so he just sat cross-legged in the back and listened to Chen Waizui continue to flicker.
