Speaking of glass, Lin Xi had heard about it.

Liuli is one of the "seven treasures" of Buddhism. In order to eliminate diseases and avoid evil spirits, you can get three kinds of blessings by placing or wearing Liuli. It is recorded in the Sutra of merit and virtue of liuliguang Tathagata, a pharmacist: May I be as bright as Liuli in the afterlife, and be immaculate. Therefore, in a sense, glass is a symbol of personality, spirit and realm.

In reality, glass, also known as "glass", is a rare decoration made of artificial crystals of various colors. It is noble and gorgeous, and has a natural workmanship. Its color is flowing and beautiful, and its quality is crystal clear and dazzling.

In ancient times, the materials used to make glaze were obtained from the byproducts of bronze casting. After refining and processing, it was made into glaze. Because of its various colors, the ancients called it "five color stone".

Due to the reason of bronzes, ancient folk glass is very rare, so some people see glass, even more precious than jade.

The earliest written records of the appearance of colored glaze can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. Li Kang of the Tang dynasty recorded this in duyizhi:

during the Kaiyuan period, there was a peddler named Wang Ergou in Chang'an who often went back and forth to sell silk in Zijun, and the profit was very meager.

One day, when he met a thief and lost his property, he was disheartened. He felt that heaven had made a fool of him, so he hanged the beam and killed himself. Unexpectedly, he saw an old man, wearing a royal robe, a red robe, a white face and long beard. He was gentle, holding "Ruyi" in his left hand and "Yuanbao" in his right hand. He was granted by Emperor Gaozu of Tang Dynasty, Li Xiang, the king of wealth and silk The public is also.

Xingjun told Wang Er Ge: "when you are rich, how can you commit suicide! Don't you hear the colored glaze coming out of Zizhou? "

While talking, he gave the Yuan Bao to Wang Ergou, and then disappeared.

When Wang Ergou woke up, he saw a Yuanbao. He went to Linzi to sell colored glaze, and eventually became the richest man in Chang'an. He changed his name to Yuanbao because of the gift of Xingjun.

The story belongs to the story, half true and half false, but it can be determined that for various reasons, the drying method of ancient glass has long been lost, even today, it can not be restored. Today's glass is mostly imitation water glass, made of unsaturated resin, which is characterized by light weight, without the sound of gold and stone of glass, and easy to color and mix over time Turbid, no collection value.

Therefore, there is almost no market for the sale of glass, and glass is different from glass. It is troublesome and expensive, and few people buy it. As time goes by, they almost forget about it.

Lin Xi's understanding of colored glaze is probably limited to this. It's all from books. He has never seen any real objects before. Today, he was lucky enough to meet them, and immediately became interested. He thought he met something real.

However, when he looked around, he found that although the glass jade plate looked quite exquisite, it was actually a modern imitation. Even on the base of the jade plate, there was the trademark of the manufacturer. He didn't bother to use the heavenly eye power to waste his physical strength.

However, the real excitement is not the glazed jade plate, but the black skin foreigner who competes with the stall owner.

But when foreigners first came to Kyoto, they had a longing for 5000 years of cultural history, so they found Liulichang and came here to feel the cultural atmosphere.

Coincidentally, when he saw the glazed jade plate, he couldn't move his eyes. He thought it was a legendary antique. He held it in his hand and refused to let it go. He stroked the glazed jade plate as if he were stroking a beautiful woman. His excited hands were shaking. He used foreign language that people didn't understand to express for a long time.

But guess also know, is nothing more than praise glass jade plate, how exquisite, how I like it.

When the stall owner saw all the excitement, he could not help shivering. Thinking of the legend of the black people, he immediately interrupted: "this foreign friend, I wonder if you have a fancy to this glazed jade plate"

after hearing the stall owner's words, the foreigner nodded, thumbed up and responded in poor Chinese: "Gu de Gu Well, it's really nice to take care of it, boss. How much can you sell this big plate for "

foreigners have rich body language, and people are dazzled to see it. But the boss is a businessman and lingers in the market. What kind of scenes have you never seen? How can you be dazzled by him.

When the boss heard that the foreigner was really interested in the glazed jade plate, he immediately turned his eyes. Knowing that the business was coming, he quickly changed his face and said with a smile: "ouch, Hello! This foreign friend, this is really what you said. The origin of this glazed jade plate is really not simple. ··· "

after a pause, the boss had a good appetite. The foreigner's silly eyes widened and couldn't wait to ask:" why is it not simple, boss, you talk... "

after clearing your throat, the boss looked around his eyes and said," speaking of this Glass jade plate, but the plate Pan Jinlian gave Wu Dalang to drink medicine, is hard to keep until today, is waiting for you such a predestined friend, a buy it now price of 200000 ····· "

see the boss put up two fingers, hear clearly Lin Xi, choked almost did not slow down, all said that business people, is the most sharp mouth, can open his eyes to tell lies, his face is not red It's really new for foreign friends.As a result, Lin Xi looked strange and underestimated: "is it really good to deceive foreign friends like this"

not to mention whether the glazed jade plate was handed down from the Song Dynasty, just because Pan Jinlian fed Wu Dalang medicine, this well-known allusion, to let foreigners know the truth, I'm afraid it would have to smash his stall.

I've never seen such a fool!

Presumably, this is also the reason why other people nearby snicker and what Tong Yan said is lively. After all, as a Chinese, the allusion of Wu Dalang taking medicine can contain too many things. It's hard to make people think less about it.

"Goodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgood.

But when he heard about the price of the glazed jade plate, he hesitated. He was too shy to give up so much money, but he couldn't put it down. What should he do?

"Lin Xi, that dish is pretty. Do you think it's true"

at this moment, Tong Yan seems to think of something. She turns to ask Lin Xi, and seems to be excited. It's natural for everyone to love beauty.

Seeing that the foreigner was still hesitating, Lin Xi hesitated for a moment and explained with a smile: "true or false, that's what it is. I'll tell you a story. After listening to it, you can see that our country has a long history, which is known as five thousand years. It has been accumulated for five thousand years and has been passed on continuously, making many ancient cities proud It has been preserved to this day.

In those ancient cities, there are many ancient buildings, some of which have been submerged in history for a long time, some of which have survived because of human protection, and some of which have been damaged and rebuilt, so they have been preserved.

The glazed pagoda of Dabaoen temple in Jinling is one of them.

This glass pagoda is known as the first Pagoda in China. In Andersen's fairy tale the garden of heaven, the pagoda that dances around and its bells ring is the prototype of the glass pagoda.

Zhu Di spent 20 years, 2.5 million taels of silver and 100000 craftsmen to build this temple in memory of his mother.

According to legend, the glazed pagoda is very magical. It is more than 78 meters long and is made of glazed materials. There are 146 lights inside and outside the pagoda. There are 152 wind bells hanging on the spires of each floor. When night falls, it looks bright and beautiful from a distance, just like a heavenly palace.

So you can imagine how amazing the glass pagoda is.

In its 400 years of existence, no building can be compared with it. It is not only well-known in China, but also well-known abroad. Even in the middle ages, it was rated as one of the seven wonders of the world by the West.

However, this beautiful pagoda collapsed during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom war. Today, only the ruins are left. The remains are kept in the Jinling Museum for later generations to mourn and dream about the grand occasion.

Because the glass pagoda is so famous, a few years ago, a rich businessman wanted to rebuild the glass pagoda and restore the scenery of the past. He invested hundreds of millions of money. However, because of technical reasons and the inability to recover the ancient method, the final product turned out to be a glass pagoda.

Glass and glaze, although only a word difference, but has become a world of difference, made a lot of jokes.
