Bowl tomb actually means literally: a tomb made of bowls.

To put it simply, the tomb bricks in the tomb chamber were changed from stones to blue and white porcelain bowls.

Then use Sanhe soil, sand and other media to build it.

In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, such funeral customs existed in Sichuan and Chongqing areas, and even in the two lakes areas.

To build a tomb full of such porcelain bowls, a conservative estimate would require at least a thousand blue and white porcelain bowls.

Although judging from the value of antiques today, this tomb and the bowl alone are worth several million, at that time, this was actually a "luxury burial" method that ordinary families could afford.

A bowl cost only a few cents at that time. As long as there was a cemetery, it was quite cheap to build a bowl tomb.

"A rich burial? Aren't there many treasures in there?"

After listening to Zhang Yang's explanation, Mao Shiqi began to search among the cultural relics on the ground.

He wanted to use his own eyes to find the funerary objects unearthed with these bowls.

"Don't look for it, it's not available."

"Generally, in bowl tombs, there is nothing but bowls, and not even the bones of the owner of the tomb can be found."

According to Zhang Yang's information on the Internet, the burial objects in this kind of bowl tomb are only a few personal accessories at most. It is really difficult to find them in such a large amount of things.

And looking at the number of these bowls, it was obvious that the tomb robbers had nothing to take away, so they thought of taking down these ordinary-looking bowls.

"Just these few bowls are not punishable!" Mao Shiqi said regretfully.

"Really? Think about it again?" Zhang Yang raised the corners of his mouth.

"Is it possible that this is already the second tomb?"

Mao Shiqi knew the law, and he immediately understood what Zhang Yang meant.

There is one situation that requires severe punishment for robbing ancient tombs, that is, repeated excavations.

The definition of "multiple times" is three times.

Already twice now, one more time to go.

He subconsciously started to search on the ground again, and this time his eyes finally lit up:

"This should be neither from the Qing Dynasty nor the Liao Dynasty." Mao Shiqi said confidently.

Zhang Yang looked at the things in the video.

The two bluestone slabs look unremarkable at first glance, except for a bit of dirt on them, telling the story of how they just saw the light of day.

But as Mao Shiqi tilted the camera and the perspective changed, Zhang Yang discovered that there were actually some patterns and words carved on the stone slab.

On the left side, a Bagua pattern composed of "yao" is painted in the center.

(Yao are the horizontal lines of different lengths on the Bagua chart)

In the very center of the Bagua, in a square frame, the word "force" is written.

Vigorously miracle? The repressive Dali Brother?

Zhang Yang couldn't figure it out.

Fortunately, there are two lines of words on the left and right sides of Bagua:

[Chapter 9 of the Laws of the Round Heaven and Earth, the evil spirits come here to resist (block)]

Although it does not rhyme, the word "coupon" has revealed the true identity of this bluestone slab - [Tomb Town Coupon].

The function of this thing is the same as the meaning of the words on the stone, which is to ward off evil spirits.

Generally speaking, this is a Taoist cultural burial object used to guard the tomb, ward off evil spirits, and protect the tomb owner and his descendants.

[This is a good thing, more reliable than the previous tomb beast]

[Nonsense, this is the curse cast by the Taoist]

[I remember this spell was in Uncle Jiu’s movie before. In the heavenly garden, there are nine chapters of laws and regulations. I am writing now. Tens of thousands of ghosts are hiding in them, as urgent as the laws and regulations! 】

"Damn it, brothers know so much!"

Zhang Yang looked at the secret mantra of Maoshan Taoist priests coming out of the barrage and said with envy.

"Teacher, look at this piece?"

Mao Shiqi had no respect for the tomb coupons. Who cares about tomb robbers?

He only cares about when this tomb is.

"The other one should be the title deed issued by the Taoist Master to the owner of the tomb." Zhang Yang analyzed it based on the archaeological knowledge he had learned.

Tomb memorial tickets are generally issued in duplicate.

One part is used to suppress and resist the evil spirits;

One portion is used to tell heaven and earth: I "bought" this cemetery.

Although the writing on the bluestone was a bit blurry, Mao Shiqi still manually turned on the light and deciphered the writing.

At the top are the four words "Yongzheng's Tomb", which means that the term of this cemetery is permanent.

Of course, this is just the wishful thinking of the tomb owner. The property rights of the cemetery are generally only 20 years, and the lease must be renewed upon expiration.

The text reads:

"According to the teachings of the Heavenly Master, and respecting Guo Pu's legacy...the coupon will be paid to the deceased Xu Tian."

This means that the Taoist priest who wrote the certificate, following the inheritance of Guo Pu, the Taoist heavenly master and the originator of Feng Shui, gave this cemetery to a deceased named Xu Tian.

This coupon is the proof.

This kind of behavior is of course illegal now.

How can a Taoist priest be a developer alone?

However, the signature is "the second day of the first lunar month of the ninth year of Hongzhi".

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, at that time, Taoist priests really had this strength.

"Three tombs are complete!"

Mao Shiqi wanted to applaud again.

At this time, a man's wailing voice suddenly came from the other side of the camera: "Ouch, hiss~, it hurts so much!"

"It's broken, he woke up."

"Teacher, I'll hang up first..."

Before Mao Shiqi could finish speaking, there was another knock on the door.

In the live broadcast room, you can faintly hear someone shouting outside the door:

"Did 501 call the police? Open the door!"

Zhang Yang didn't know until half a month later that the tomb robber Mao Shiqianli was tracking was Hua Zi who had seduced his cousin He to rob the tomb together.

Moreover, when this man was interrogated at the police station, he even confessed to Zhang Yang.

He said he learned it all from watching Master Zhang’s live broadcast.

Master Zhang's live broadcast room has everything from dividing gold to fixing acupuncture points and fighting back and forth to sell stolen goods.

Fortunately, there are people on Zhang Yang. If it were an ordinary small anchor, they would probably be gone.

But that’s a story for another day.

Zhang Yang, who had just helped Mao Shiqi identify the cultural relics, was surrounded as soon as he went out.

"Wonderful, so wonderful!"

Chen Yanguang stood at the front of the crowd and said:

"I never expected that in the few months since I stopped being in the industry, Brother Yang, your live broadcast has done so well."

This sounded strange, but Zhang Yang only thought it was a compliment to himself.

He and Miss Cheng behind Chen Yanguang nodded and made a gesture of invitation.

This afternoon, there is something important.

There were many people in the temporary conference room of the studio.

People from Yangming Studio and representatives from Hedong Group were sitting on both sides.

This is the meeting where the two companies sign a cooperation agreement.

In fact, it was mainly due to the cooperation between Zhang Yang and the Hedong Group, but Sister Gao and the others were not completely useless.

In addition to supporting the venue, he is also responsible for helping to display the collection.

"First let's appreciate Wang Qi's porcelain plate paintings."

While Zhang Yang was speaking, Sister Gao stood up and opened the lid of the brocade box.

Tao Chang stood aside and introduced her employer, the young couple:

"This is a masterpiece from Jingdi Town. It is an absolute treasure and is worth more than 5 million. If it were photographed in Jingdi Town, it should be able to fetch 10 million."

Why does the price double when you get it from Jingdi Town?

Of course, it is because it is very profitable to make imitations of Wang Qi based on this porcelain plate painting.

But Zhang Yang had no intention of using it to make imitations for them.

He took out this thing to tell Chen Yanguang and his wife:

"This is what I missed for half a million yuan."

"Awesome, Brother Yang!" Chen Yanguang gave a thumbs up.

He pointed to several other boxes on the table and asked:

"You couldn't have missed all of these, right?"

"How is it possible..." Zhang Yang replied with a smile: "How is it possible not?"

"Come and enjoy the pastel plum blossom general jar made by Mr. Ye Zhenjia, a contemporary master of Wu Gucai..."

With Tao Chang here, Zhang Yang doesn't have to worry about Chen Yanguang and the others not being able to understand.

This master of porcelain making with a background in Jingdi Town is very familiar with the masters who came out of the Ceramics Research Institute of that year.

After the collections were displayed one by one, Zhang Yang mentioned the purpose of this meeting:

“The official kilns of Ming and Qing porcelain are no longer affordable for ordinary collectors, but 567 fine porcelain has just begun.”

"You guys figure out how to collect it overseas, and I'll be responsible for selling it in China. How about that?"
