Chapter 195 World famous clock

Inheritance mission 1 is finally over, and inheritance mission 2 is finally here.

However, I don't seem to have time to think about it at this time.

Getting up at two o'clock in the morning still requires perseverance, but due to hobbies, the four of them got up quickly.

Zheng Yu had the access control to the dormitory door in his hand, which he had prepared long ago.

The four of them walked out of the dormitory quietly and got into Zheng Yu's car.

The car drove slowly out of the school along the school road.

All these require Zheng Yu to open up his joints, otherwise he will definitely be in trouble if he drives out in the middle of the night.

"Ghost market, I've heard of it many times, but I've never been to it once." Zheng Yu said excitedly.

"The ghost market in Dahai City will be canceled in 17 or 19 years." Zhang Yijie said.

"This time is a little unusual!" Cao Qingchun said.

Zheng Yu also said: "The conditions are too high."

"Only in this way will some good products appear!" Zhang Yijie understood very well.

"Well, just the prerequisites have eliminated a lot of people trying to fish in troubled waters!"

After saying that, Chen Wenzhe stopped paying attention to them. He was checking the task list.

Inheritance mission 2, actually touch the Jingyun Bell?

What is the Jingyun Bell? Why is it linked to the New Year’s bell? Is there anything special about the New Year’s bell?

Let it ring across the land of China again. Does this mean that the Jingyun Bell should be rung again?

When he was unsure about the search, Chen Wenzhe took out his mobile phone decisively and started searching for Jingyun Zhong.

After such a search, he discovered that Jing Yunzhong was really famous.

The Jingyun Bell of the Tang Dynasty was cast in the second year of Jingyun, Emperor Ruizong of the Tang Dynasty (711 AD), hence its name.

This bell was originally used in the bell tower of Jinglongguan (currently located at today's Chang'an West Street) in Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty. In the early Ming Dynasty, it was moved to the current Chang'an Bell Tower to tell the time.

It was moved to the Chang'an Stele Forest Museum in 1953 and is now on display in the East Pavilion of Ermenli.

The bell has been rated as a national cultural relic, and the Central People's Broadcasting Station once recorded the Jingyun Bell.

Every New Year's Eve, it is played as a "New Year's bell" to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and it has been used ever since.

Seeing this, Chen Wenzhe suddenly realized.

The "New Year's bell" that bids farewell to the old and welcomes the new on New Year's Eve is really nice and rich.

However, at that exciting time every year, who would pay attention to the bells?

Obviously, the task he received this time was to pass on the manufacturing method of Jingyun Bell, and as long as he touches a Jingyun Bell, it seems that the inheritance this time is not difficult.

However, the information he found next made Chen Wenzhe a little dumbfounded. This Jingyun Bell is really not that easy to imitate.

The casters of Jingyun Bell are skilled, the carving is exquisite, the bell sound is clear and loud, the sound quality is beautiful, and the smelting technology is very advanced.

From this series of words, it can be seen that in order to imitate it, it requires superb casting skills, superb carving, and a loud and beautiful voice!

Jingyun Bell relies on its unique shape, exquisite carvings, ancient calligraphy, deep sound, and superb smelting technology to rank it among the world's famous clocks.

From this we can see that it is certainly not easy to imitate such an instrument.

Not to mention the sound, just imitating the bell body is not simple.

Jingyun Zhong is 247 centimeters tall, 486 centimeters in abdominal circumference, 165 centimeters in diameter, and weighs 6 tons.

The bell is made of copper-tin alloy. During casting, it is divided into 5 sections and a total of 26 molds. Traces of the molds can be seen on the bell body.

The bell shape is sharp at the top and wide at the bottom, with a hexagonal arc-shaped mouth.

The body of the bell has 32 "Pulao" shaped stalactites with adjustable pitch. The sound of the bell is pure, elegant, crisp and loud.

There are patterns cast around the bell body, which are divided into three layers from top to bottom. Each layer is divided into six grids with arabesque strips, for a total of 18 grids.

There are patterns of flying sky, soaring crane, walking lion, soaring dragon, red bird, one-horned and one-legged ox respectively cast in the grid. There are 4 auspicious clouds in each corner, which looks vivid and unique.

There is an inscription in parallel on the front of the bell body, with a total of 292 words, divided into 18 lines, each line has 17 words, and there are 14 words in the space. The font is a regular script with a slight reference to seal script.

This inscription was written and written by Li Dan himself, Emperor Ruizong of the Tang Dynasty. The content is to promote Taoist teachings, explain the origin of Jinglong Temple, the production process of the bell, and praise the bell. It is one of the few precious writings of Li Dan handed down to the world.

He had to touch such a thing first!

It's hard to touch the genuine article, and he doesn't bother to touch the imitations.

In fact, Chen Wenzhe is not the only one who wants to imitate the Jingyun Bell. Even the Chang'an government has tried its best to imitate it.

The Chang'an Cultural Relics Administration made a copy of one and hung it on the northwest corner of the base of the Chang'an Bell Tower on January 30, 1997, and it was open to tourists.

The appearance of the imitation Jingyun Bell is similar to the original bell. Its height, weight, outer diameter of the bell skirt, patterns, and inscriptions are exactly like the original bell. The sound quality is loud and powerful, comparable to the original bell.

The most important thing is the following words: The sound quality is loud and powerful, comparable to the original bell!

The imitation Jingyun Bell is as big as the real thing, and the sound quality is naturally loud and clear. As for whether it is loud or not, just listen to the sound recorded by CCTV and you will know.

Still comparable to Yuan Zhong? If that were the case, he might not have received this mission!

"I have to go to Chang'an first so I can have a chance to touch it!"

After understanding the task, Chen Wenzhe felt that touching it was the most difficult thing for him.

As long as he is allowed to touch the Jingyun Bell, he will definitely start his own inheritance. Will he be afraid that he will not be able to imitate the Jingyun Bell?

He originally wanted to imitate the instrument because it was a practical instrument. As long as the sound quality was good, it would be easy to sell, and there was no need to make it look old and deceive.

Unexpectedly, the system was so perfect that it directly selected all the targets for him.

If the Jingyun Bell he imitated is up to standard, it will definitely shock the world when it is rung.

If this thing were placed in his hometown, would it create a tourist attraction?

It feels so good to think about it, he will really shock the world!

Chen Wenzhe really didn't expect that this kind of good thing has been circulated for more than a thousand years and can still be used today.

"What are you thinking about? I'm going to a ghost market! Aren't you excited?"

Cao Qingchun looked at Chen Wenzhe in a daze, a little strange. He hadn't moved since he got in the car. This was so abnormal.

"It's okay, I'm a little confused, I'll just stare for a while and I'll be fine!"

Even so, Chen Wenzhe still put down the system task.

You know, he has a master's level in making bronze, and he is really not afraid of making a Jingyun Bell.

His mind shifted to the ghost market, and Chen Wenzhe immediately thought of another task, treasure hunting in the ghost market.

It seems that this time, the ghost market that Zheng Yu contacted can still find treasures.

There is indeed a reason why the threshold is so high.

For young people, the ghost market must be confusing, bewildered, and covered in cold sweat.

In fact, the ghost market is a special street stall culture for buying and selling antiques in the early years. The street stalls were put down at midnight to do business, and the market ended at dawn.

Chen Wenzhe had heard of the ghost market a long time ago, but he had never been there because Dahai City had long since canceled the ghost market.
