I can only see that object. It presents a regular cube. It is about 30 cm in length, width and height. The gilded Four Heavenly King's letter was tightly tied with a 50 mm wide crimson ribbon. On the top, there are two dragons, the head and the tail facing each other, with flowing clouds around; on each side of the slope, there are two dragons playing with pearls, and the bottom is decorated with curly grass; on each side, there are two Jialing Pinjia birds, and the body is decorated with pomegranate flowers and vines. On the four sides of the letter are carved images of the four heavenly kings. On the obverse side is the northern Great Saint vishan heavenly king, on the left is the eastern Titou laizha heavenly king, on the right is the western pilulacha heavenly king, and on the back is the southern pilobocha heavenly king. The outermost layer is a black lacquer letter with a silver ridge top, 30 cm long, 30 cm wide and 30 cm high. The so-called top of the box is a box with a slanting edge on the cover. It is made of precious sandalwood, with Carved Silver edges.

I heard Lin Xi's exclamation. The same father also looked at the object. He was also extremely curious after so many years of collection. And he asked, "what is an eight fold bond?"

Think about it for a moment. There seems to be something in mind. The eyes twinkled. I didn't hide it. He explained: "the eight treasure letters, the gold and silver articles given by Emperor Yizong of Tang Dynasty, are a set of box letters dedicated to the Buddha finger relic of Sakyamuni. There is a sacrificial relic in the letter. The outermost layer is a sandalwood letter, which is covered with three silver letters, two gold letters, one jade letter and a single eaves four door pure gold pagoda. However, because the outermost layer is sandalwood Silver Ridge, the top of the letter was decayed when it was unearthed, so only seven pieces can be seen. It's just this box. It just looks like an eight fold bond. Not really. Look at the material of his shape. It's like the legendary purple jade. "

The eight treasure letter was specially made by the emperor of Tang Dynasty to place the Buddhist bone relic, which shows its high level. The so-called Buddhist bone relic is a relic obtained after the death of Buddha Sakyamuni and his disciples burned his body. There are four Buddhist finger relics in Famen Temple, three shadow bones and one spirit bone. Among the eight treasures is one of the three shadow bones. Shadow bone is not a real relic bone, but is specially made to protect the relic bone, which has the same value as the relic bone.

The first is the pure gold Pagoda with single eaves and four doors; the second is the pure gold Pagoda with gold baskets and pearls; the third is the pure gold Pagoda with gold baskets and pearls; the fourth is the pure gold Pagoda with six arms of Avalokitesvara; the fifth is the Silver Pagoda with gilded Tathagata; the sixth is the Silver Pagoda with plain face; the seventh is the Silver Pagoda with gilded four heavenly kings; the eighth is the Silver Ridge pagoda Top sandalwood letter.

The first Buddhist bone ceremony in Chinese history was held in the fourth year of Xianqing reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. In order to make Buddhism more in line with Chinese traditional customs and achieve sinicization, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty made gold coffins and silver coffins (i.e. Baohan) for the relics and buried them under the loess (i.e. underground palace) according to the highest etiquette of Chinese Confucianism. Li's imperial court welcomed the Buddha's bone, and the team was solemn and grand. Along the way, the worshipers extended from Chang'an (now Xi'an) to Fengxiang (now Baoji) for more than 300 Li, which became a grand occasion.

It is said that 2700 years ago, after his Nirvana between two trees in the corpse City, his disciples cremated his body and picked up some remains from the ashes. The remains, known as the relic, include a small parietal bone, two scapulae bones, four teeth, a phalanx, and some other real relic. These Buddhist relics are divided into eight parts, which are built by eight countries.

More than 100 years later, Asoka of the Peacock Dynasty unified the Indian peninsula. In view of his heavy killing, Asoka put down his butcher's knife and turned to become the protector of the Dharma. He excavated the pagodas of eight countries, collected Buddhist relics, rebuilt 84000 pagodas in various places, and distributed those Buddhist relics to the pagodas for support. In ancient India, China was known as the East earth Sinian. It is said that nineteen relic towers were built in the East earth, one of which is Famen Temple in Fengxiang, Shaanxi Province. The relic of Buddha's finger is worshipped in the tower, which is a middle finger bone of Buddha.

A thousand years is enough to make a lot of things happen. The Tang Dynasty is dead, the new dynasty is rising and falling, the new dynasty is falling and rising, the prosperous things are scattered and the fragrant dust is driven, the water is merciless and the grass is springing up, but the door of the underground palace has never been opened again. It seems that the legend of a peaceful and peaceful country in the past 30 years only exists for the Tang Dynasty, and even the legend itself is gradually forgotten.

When the sleepers suddenly start up, they will be in a daze. The dark wind blows and the rain blows, and the residual flames are everywhere.

Under the faltering pagoda of Famen Temple, the red guards completely destroyed the Buddha Hall, Buddha statues and Buddhist scriptures. They said that they were destroying the four old and establishing the four new, and eradicating feudal ideology and culture. This idea can be understood, but its implementation is accompanied by violence and blindness, which turns into a cultural catastrophe.

In July 1967, several trucks with hundreds of red guards came to Famen Temple to smash the brick pagoda of Famen Temple with eight ridges and thirteen levels. The young generals had high enthusiasm and absurd reasons. They said that there was Chiang Kai Shek's secret radio station hidden under the pagoda.

The 71 year old monk Liangqing, the abbot, knew that there was a Buddha under the pagoda and tried every means to dissuade him. But how could it be effective in the face of a group of fanatical half grown children? Seeing the imminent disaster, the brick pagoda of Famen Temple will not be protected. Liangqing makes a decision.

Liangqing put on the red cassock inlaid with gold, piled the bed, firewood and other flammable materials in front of the tower, poured kerosene on it, sat in it, and then lit the match in her hand. All of a sudden, countless flames dart out like snakes. LIANG Qing sits in the fire with her palms closed. She lets the tongue of fire devour her whole body, but she doesn't move.

After all, the red guards are not well-known. Who has seen this scene? In panic, they were stunned at first, and then they carried their heads away. In this way, the old monk Liangqing's struggle at the cost of his life saved the Buddha finger relic.The surviving Famen Temple Pagoda is like an old man, whose posture is becoming more and more crooked. In August 1981, the foundation of the Famen Temple Tower sank and the rain poured into the crevice of the tower. On the 24th, with the loud sound and the yellow smoke, the Famen temple tower collapsed and the Buddha statues and sutras fell to the ground. The other half is barely supported and may collapse at any time.

The news of the collapse of the Famen Temple Pagoda took up only one piece of tofu in the people's daily, but it caused a strong shock in the global Buddhist community. Most of the 84, 000 pagodas built by King Ashoka in those days have disappeared, and the Buddhist relics are lost. Only the Buddha finger relic of Famen Temple is the only one with clear context and can be proved. It can be said that it is the highest sacred thing in the Buddhist world. The two sides finally agreed to demolish the remaining tower and rebuild it.

Based on this decision, the local officials of the Tang Dynasty were found when the tower foundation was cleaned up, and the archaeologists carried out the excavation immediately. They found a way to open the lock for thousands of years, push open the stone gates in the long tomb path, step on the underground palace paved with gold, and enter the back room to enter the "supreme Dharma Realm" of the tantric Mandala, which provides for the Buddha's real body relic.

The underground palace of Famen Temple is the earliest Tantric Mandala altar found in the world. It is dedicated to four Buddha phalanges and thousands of treasures worshipped by the whole Tang Empire, including the golden embroidered skirt given by Empress Wu Zetian, the long lost secret color porcelain, and the big gold staff representing the supreme authority of Dharma Buddha dari Tathagata and Sakyamuni Buddha.

My father also looked at the eight treasure box. That's exactly what you said. It's made of neither gold nor silver. It's purple. In the light of the light, flashing charming luster. There seems to be the sound of application. It's fantastic. It's like the pattern on the box. That's why I came to life first. It's amazing.

This kind of jade. It's not crystal. It's the essence of jade. It even exists in the legend. It's said that the emperor of heaven fell to the world. Even the king of jade may rarely see it, because a piece of purple jade can be dug up in a single jade mine. At present, only fist sized purple jade has been dug out in the largest jade mine. What's more, it's hard to imagine that such a large piece of purple jade has been dug up in the whole Kunlun mountain? Does the old man have a conscience? A legacy for him?

However, no matter how you look at it, this is nonsense. If the old man really has a legacy. It won't wait until now. So this is the origin of Ziyu. There may be another seven.

Because I know from the West. The ancients used this kind of jade. Usually used as an appendage. Or something to ward off evil spirits. In order to dispel the evil, call people spirit inch in, few people to do the box. And you can see that. This jade has money in its mouth. It's supposed to be dug out in the whole. Even the ancient emperors. I'm afraid there are no benefits. I can use such a treasure. And the sculptures of monks, the sculptures on the box, although they look lifelike. It's actually rough lines. It doesn't seem to be very thoughtful. I don't think it's from the masters.

So Lin Xi is more curious. You can use such a precious subdomain. To reload his stuff. Undoubtedly, it is more expensive than purple jade itself. What would that be?
