Hong Luo followed Luo Tian back to the appraisal company, and smiled as soon as he saw Cheng Zhen: 'Miss Cheng, I'm here, um, are you busy now?"
It's obvious whether you're busy or not. There were two customers sitting in front of Cheng Zhen. Hong Luo's behavior regardless of the occasion made Cheng Zhen a little panicked. Luo Tian quickly said: "Let me receive the guests."
Luo Tian replaced Cheng Zhen, and Cheng Zhen, who didn't know what was going on, was pulled out by Hong Luo. Luo Tian sat down, and the two guests were obviously happier. Luo Tian asked, "How can I help you two?"
These two guests were cousins and came together. Luo Tian was very happy when he bumped into him and immediately took out the things in his hands. The first thing Luo Tian saw was the jade Buddha in his cousin's hand.
The Jade Buddha is generally divided into three types. According to its different functions, the Jade Buddha mainly exists in three forms. The first one is used in temples or for personal worship and making wishes. Now some companies will place the Jade Buddha in the lobby or office for peace and financial resources.
Guangjin. The third type is used as jewelry. Many jewelry stores sell jade Buddha pendants and other jewelry, such as Guanyin Jade Buddha, Maitreya Jade Buddha, Hotan Jade Buddha carved by Zhuo Yixuan, etc. Most of the wearers are wishful thinking.
Wearing the Jade Buddha can keep you safe. The third type is antique collection. Many jade Buddhas unearthed in history or passed down are collected by antique collectors, and the price is often high.
Naturally, what this person brought was of the third type. This Jade Buddha is made of gray-green pyrophyllite. It consists of two parts: a Buddha sitting in lotus position and a lotus sumeru seat. The Buddha statue is plump in shape, with a serene face, its head slightly lowered, and its left hand palm up on its abdomen.
In front of you, your right hand touches the ground, making a demon subduing seal. The lotus sumeru pedestal is made of four detachable layers.
Seeing the smile on Luo Tian's face, both of them felt excited: "How is it?"
"It's a very good Jade Buddha." Luo Tian said: "It's from the Yuan Dynasty. Although the lotus and Xumi pedestal are slightly damaged, the impact is not great and it is fairly well preserved."
The two brothers were immediately overjoyed. They struck the iron while the iron was hot and presented another stone. Luo Tian shook his head when he saw it: "This is gold sandstone, a kind of quartzite containing mica flakes or iron oxide mineral fine flakes, so
It is named after it shines like the light of Venus. It is mainly red and blue. It is made of high-quality crystal sand, added with precious and rare metals, and melted at high temperature. It is commonly used in the market as bracelet beads, necklace beads, chicken hearts or stamps.
The material is not of high value.”
The result was not bad. After the two paid the fee, they left happily. Luo Tian originally wanted to persuade the guest to keep the Jade Buddha for restoration, but judging from his nervous look, it was probably impossible.
In fact, the first type of Jade Buddha is very famous in China because China has the largest Jade Buddha in the world, which is carved from the Jade King. It is 7.95 meters high, 6.88 meters wide, 4.1 meters thick and weighs 260.76 tons.
It is made up of Buddha Sakyamuni on the front and Guanyin Bodhisattva crossing the sea on the back.
The Jade King was discovered on Huayugang Mountain in Hadabei Town, Xiuyan Manchu Autonomous County, Liaoning Province, the hometown of jade in my country, on July 22, 1960. That night, there was a heavy rain, and the soil around the Jade King was washed away and soaked by flash floods. Loss, softness, the entire jade body leaned out of the ground, somersaulted, and slid to the hillside platform. The miners brought spring water and baptized the newly unearthed jade king. After washing with clean water, the jade king showed its natural beauty: the whole The jade body is crystal clear and colorful, including emerald green, apricot yellow, vermilion, sea blue, milky white, light clear, and dark green. Under the sun, it is colorful and extremely beautiful! After measurement, the jade king is 4.5 meters long, 5.5 meters wide, and 2.5 meters high. rice, the back is slightly like the ridge of a house, and is as big as two rooms. Tested by the Liaoning Provincial Institute of Measurement and Testing, the exact weight of the Jade King is 260.76 tons. It is 8 times heavier than the Burmese Jade King that once shocked the world. It has become a veritable world jade. king.
Then in order to better protect this world's king of jade, we finally decided to carve it into a Buddha statue. It is said that many magical phenomena were discovered during the carving process:
The Buddha's face is made of nature - the "Jade King" is a piece of colorful jade. The colors of each part cannot be ascertained using existing science and technology. People were worried that the Buddha's face would be carved into a painted face. However, when the carving was completed, people were surprised to find that the Buddha's face was a colorful one.
The face of the Buddha is exactly carved on a piece of pure dark green jade. The aura of the Buddha's face doubles the charm, and the Buddha's golden crown coincides with a piece of light yellow jade. On the whole, the colors are perfectly matched to form the solemn appearance of Sakyamuni Buddha.
Wearing a black and white cassock, he meditates on a lotus throne, surrounded by colorful auspicious clouds, which shocks and comforts the soul. Similarly, Guanyin's face happens to be located on a crystal clear light green jade surface. The Jade Buddha is perfectly carved.
It can be said to be an ingenious workmanship.
The dragon and the phoenix are auspicious - On the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar in 1995, which is the day when the legendary "dragon raises its head", at 9 a.m., when the carving part was on the right side of Guanyin, a piece of light green jade appeared on the surface.
Mottled black. Just when people felt sorry for it and were unable to remedy it, a miracle happened. A coiled dragon loomed on the polished black jade. At three o'clock in the afternoon, a phoenix with the same color turned back and leaptly appeared on the coiled dragon.
Below, up and down, a dragon and a phoenix are vivid and lifelike, which is a true portrayal of "dragon and phoenix presenting auspiciousness".
Putuo Holy Land - Behind Guanyin is a mountain scenery. Standing in front of Guanyin, you can hear the sound of waterfalls. In order to minimize the weight loss of the Jade King, the design completely followed the color and natural shape of each part of the Jade King.
Following the bend, the high places were carved into mountains, and the low places were carved into rivers and waterfalls. One year after the Jade Buddha Garden was opened to the public, people accidentally discovered that this mountain scenery is almost the epitome of Mount Putuo! I don’t know when, Mount Putuo followed the past.
Guanyin Bodhisattva, who was preaching the Dharma there, quietly came to the Jade Buddha Garden.
Hong Da realized the truth - On the side of Guanyin, the turtle swung its tail and threw a few strands of light yellow crow's-foot-shaped jade upwards. Zen Master Dexiu from Wuhan realized that these light yellow jade stones constituted the "truth" in official script.
Before leaving, the master inscribed the four words "Hong Da Wu Zhen" in order to tell people that the miracles that appeared on the Jade Buddha are real and to let people understand the true meaning of Buddhism with their heart.
Buddha sends good luck - At the end of 2002, people discovered that the head of a goat appeared on the left chest of Buddha Sakyamuni. It was so lifelike that it was ready to be seen. Because sheep have a deep connection with Buddhism and traditional Chinese culture. In addition,
The discovery coincides with the coming of the Year of the Sheep and the year of the consecration of the Jade Buddha, which is indeed an auspicious sign. It seems to indicate that the world's largest Jade Buddha will bring happiness and good fortune to the world!
Luo Tian once ran to see the Buddha statue alone. The Jade Buddha Pavilion was also specially built for this Buddha statue. The Jade Buddha Pavilion is 33 meters high, which means the thirty-three heavens of Buddhism, and 66 meters wide.
, with a depth of 58 meters, adopts a double-layered mountain-style structure with double eaves, which is clearly layered and majestic. The large caisson in the Jade Buddha Pavilion is engraved with a picture of Nine Dragons protecting pearls made of 24k gold. Under the illumination of the lanterns, it looks magnificent. The caisson
Four lotus lanterns hang high at the four corners, inlaid with tens of thousands of crystal orbs, demonstrating a solemn and elegant state.
Luo Tian was glad afterwards that he did not stay there for a few days, otherwise he would have been inspired to leave home. The power of Buddhism should not be underestimated. He didn't know why at the time, but when he stared at the big Buddha, Luo Tian
I felt extremely calm in my heart, as if all my worries were swept away. That time I went there, not because I believed in Buddhism, but simply because I wanted to see the world’s largest Buddha. On the contrary, he had not seen it before.
He understands religious beliefs so well that when he sees someone eating fast and chanting Buddha's name, he always feels that they don't look like normal people. But after that time, his attitude changed from understanding to tolerance, so that when he was confused and confused later, he would still listen to it.
Great Compassion Mantra.
Luo Tian finished recalling the past, and Hong Luo and Cheng Zhen also finished communicating. Cheng Zhen came back with a smile on her face, and Luo Tian asked her: "Everything has been explained clearly."
"Yeah." Cheng Zhen nodded, and Hong Luo next to him looked excited.
"Then you agree to go?" Luo Tian felt that he was asking too much. Considering Cheng Zhen's personality, he would definitely agree. She is kind and pure.
Cheng Zhen said: "Actually, I don't know what to say, Hong Luo, you'd better not have too much hope in me."
"I don't have any hope for you, who else can I turn to?" Hong Luo said helplessly: "You are the only people closest to me here."
This is true, Cheng Zhen sighed: "Okay, I'll go over now, you stay here and wait for me."
Hong Luo happily watched Cheng Zhen go downstairs and took a deep breath: "In the past, a woman was like a book. Although there were a few more pages, she could still understand it thoroughly. Nowadays, a woman's mind is like a needle in the sea. I
If you fish and fish, you may never understand it in your lifetime, don’t you think?”
"If you can't get it, let her take the initiative to give it to you. It's not easy." Luo Tian's understatement made Hong Luo a little hurt: "Just go ahead and stimulate me. I know that your Cheng Zhen's heart is to take the initiative."
Handed over."
As soon as Hong Luo finished speaking, everyone laughed. Luo Tian reminded him: "It's working time now, don't talk about things that you don't have. If you want to wait, just keep waiting. If you talk nonsense again, I will drive you away."
Already."
Hong Luo pursed his lips, shook his head, and used actions to explain his decision. Luo Tian's biggest discovery recently is that the appraisal company's business volume has increased a lot. Whether it is appraisal or repair, it is much better than before. Luo Tian opened
When the company's website was launched, there were more than 3,000 messages on it. This is the number of online consultations in one month. You must know that antique players are just a small group. This amount of online consultations plus the number of telephone consultations, this month is
It was so impressive that Luo Tian registered an account himself and answered them one by one in the message area.
Maybe someone discovered that this ID might be Luo Tian himself. Within an hour, the number of messages increased rapidly. Luo Tian was dumbfounded. There were so many and he didn’t know when he would finish the replies. Zhang Qiwei happened to come out and saw Luo Tian was worried.
Then he said, "Why don't you just announce your identity? After that, tell everyone that you can only come up once a month, and you can only take time to answer some people's questions. Since time is limited, I will try to come up as often as possible in the future."
This is a good idea. Luo Tian went in as an administrator, announced his identity, selected some clear questions to answer, and quickly withdrew after finishing. Perhaps it was the residual power of the online reply, but the phone rang from time to time, and he was busy.
Luo Tian didn't dare to answer the phone for several employees in the business department. Yuan Jie said, "You'd better withdraw first. After everyone comes over, there will be nothing we can do."
It was just a message that caused such a big stir. Luo Tian never expected that he pulled Hong Luo away. Hong Luo was still thinking about Cheng Zhen, who was "chatting" with Ling Xiaoxiao, and said with a bitter look on his face: "Cheng Zhen
