Luo Tian picked up this waist card. This waist card was from the Xixia Kingdom. Both positive and negative sides were engraved with the words of the Xixia. After Li Yuanhao founded the country, he implemented a series of measures to strengthen national consciousness. Under his advocacy,
Minister Nori Renrong presided over the creation of the Western Xia script recording the Dangxiang language, with a total of more than 6,000 words.
The creation of Xixia characters borrows the shape of Chinese characters, and can be divided into two categories in terms of composition: simple characters and fusion characters. The strokes are mostly about ten strokes, and there are many slanted strokes such as strokes, strokes, etc., with uniform structure and circumferential pattern, and there are comparisons.
A complete composition system and rules have distinct personality characteristics.
In Xixia, except for a small number of characters that directly use the text elements to create characters, most of them are synthesized and created characters, including six synthesis methods such as esoteric meaning, pronunciation, symmetry, interchange, retelling, and long sound. For example:
Essential synthesis method: part of the word "water" in the Western Xia text + the word "earth" to synthesize "mud".
Phonetic and meaning synthesis method: part of the Western Xia text pronounced as "Ling" + part of the character "Si" in the Western Xia text, synthesized into the Western Xia text.
Anti-cut synthesis method: part of the Xixia character pronounced as "wife" + part of the Xixia character pronounced as "yin", and synthesize the Xixia character with the surname "Qin" of the Han people.
Long-sound synthesis method: part of the Xixia character pronounced "A" + part of the Xixia character with the meaning of "Chang", synthesize the A long-sound.
Now the waist label is written on "Interior Affairs Office". Luo Tian saw that the waist label is ordinary in material and is worth about 10,000 yuan. However, because of the Western Xia Kingdom, the waist is a little interesting.
This Western Xia refers to a feudal regime established by the Dangxiang people in western China between 1038 and 1227 AD. In the first year of Zhonghe in the Tang Dynasty (881), Tuoba Sigong occupied Xiazhou, which is now northern Shaanxi.
Hengshan County was granted the title of the governor of Dingnan Jie, Duke of Xia, and inherited from generation to generation. In 1038 AD, when Li Yuanhao founded the country, he called Xia the country and called it "Daxia". Because it was in the West, the Song people called it "Western Xia"
”.
The Xixia Dynasty was once prosperous in my country's history. Unlike the traditional nomadic economy, the Xixia Kingdom widely absorbed advanced technologies in cultural technology and other fields, and continuously developed and created its own unique artistic characteristics. It was recorded that the ancient Xixia Kingdom was used in metal processing at that time. The bellows blower is used to increase the furnace temperature and facilitate processing. This technology is even ahead of the Song and Liao countries in the same period. The copper cow unearthed from the King of Xixia tomb weighs 188 kilograms. The overall shape is simple and detailed. It is a representative work of Xixia metal processing. The craftsmanship level is still amazing. At the same time, Xixia also cast a large number of seals and bronze medals. In these manufacturing processes, gilding and silver plating have become a model for learning in various places at that time.
Mr. Jing saw a playful smile on Luo Tian’s face and said, “What’s wrong, Mr. Luo.”
"It's okay, I just think the commander's interest is somewhat similar to mine." Luo Tian himself had to admit it: "By the way, Mr. Jing, do you have other things to see?"
"Since Mr. Luo is here, it will naturally take a look at it in one go. I will be able to do some business in the future." Mr. Jing seemed very excited today: "Come on, Mr. Luo, follow me."
Mr. Jing took out a root carving from a wooden box. Luo Tian couldn't help but exclaim: "What a wonderful work, this is the root carving of golden camphor. Mr. Jing, do you have an impression of this thing? Where did the commander come from?
Get it?"
This is a root carving, carved image of a birthday star, the old man with a white beard, holding a staff, and his forehead is raised, and his image is very vivid. The image of this birthday star was originally very pleasing, but now Luo Tian holds it in his hand, some
I can't let go of it.
This art of carving refers to a unique folk art made by using the natural form of the roots and branches of trees to observe, screen, intercept, carving and other artistic processing. Its content is extremely rich, including root art and crafts,
Root art decorations and root art practical products. Natural beauty is the main feature of root art works. The old and perverted, the eroded and eroded, and the magical beauty of nature is wonderful. Through the root artist's insight into the original beauty of tree roots and the aesthetics
The conception and trade-offs of art, the original beauty of the tree roots is more concentrated and more typical. Root art works can generally be summarized into two categories: one is the practical root carving category; the other is the root carving furnishing category. The former is like
Basin racks, desk lamps, furniture, etc. have practical functions in daily life. In addition to being appreciated, the latter also has the function of preserving and increasing value.
Mr. Jing touched his head and thought: "I have a special impression of this thing, because the commander liked it very much. This thing was not like this at the beginning, it was just a piece of wood. The commander from another area found the teacher of the root carving.
The father came to create it, and it took a lot of effort at that time. When this thing came out, the commander loved it very much and often took it in his hands to play with it."
"This carving has a long history of development in our country. The earliest existing root carving works are evil-proof and angular instruments from the Warring States Period. They were discovered in ancient tombs in Hubei in the 1980s. The raw materials for making root carvings include boxwood and sandalwood.
, beech, cypress, elm, etc., the best one is the Golden Camphor of Myanmar. The raw material for this carving is Burmese Golden Camphor." Luo Tian said: "The commander has a good vision."
Myanmar Golden Camphor (also known as mountain fruit) is a broad-leaved tree that grows in tropical rainforests in Southeast Asia. Among them, the one imported from Myanmar is the best. Myanmar Golden Camphor has been growing for at least 50 years from growth to growth, with a slow growth period and relatively hardness.
High and not easy to wear. At the same time, it also contains extremely heavy oil and iron. This oil and iron keep it unchanged, anti-acid and alkaline, and is particularly moisture-proof and corrosion-resistant. What's more magical is that it is polished
The color of the later plate surface is oxidized into golden yellow by photosynthesis, and the color becomes more noble with time. Because Myanmar Golden Camphor has such excellent characteristics, it is the first choice among high-end wood. It is Myanmar Three
One of the great treasures (jade, golden camphor, teak).
In Europe, Myanmar Golden Camphor is used to make the most luxurious yachts and houses; the deck of the Titanic is built by Myanmar Golden Camphor. Although it has been corroded by sea water for a hundred years, it is still very good today; hundreds of years of cathedrals and ancient buildings are also all
It is the floor of Myanmar Golden Camphor. The beautiful buildings on the beach of Shanghai, such as HSBC, Customs Building, Peace Hotel, etc., almost all use Myanmar Golden Camphor as columns, handrails, and floors. Although they have experienced a hundred years of vicissitudes, they are still as intact as before.
It is as bright as new. Since the last century, the resources of gold camphor in Myanmar in the world have become increasingly rare, so it has long-lasting value for preserving and collecting.
