Chapter 254: Confucius persuades you to drink, but you can’t stop drinking!
After digging for a while, when he reached about one meter, Wang Xiaoshan slowed down and started digging more carefully. While digging, he used a flashlight to look for any treasures.
The reporters at the scene could not see clearly what was going on inside the cave, and the audience in the live broadcast room, not to mention, could only see Wang Xiaoshan’s back, and everything in the cave was blocked by Wang Xiaoshan.
Anyway, Wang Xiaoshan hasn't taken out anything yet, so no one is in a hurry. Time passes by, and when he reaches one meter, he finally finds something good.
Now that he found something, Wang Xiaoshan took out the engineering shovel and began to use a small shovel to dig out bit by bit. Although it was slower, it would not damage the treasure easily.
Wang Xiaoshan rummaged around in the cave for a long time. This time, many of the treasures were scattered on the ground. It was more troublesome to clean them up, otherwise he would have taken them out long ago.
It took Wang Xiaoshan about a quarter of an hour to finally take out all the things in the cave. This time there were a lot of things, so he put them all in the bucket, and then went back with the bucket.
The reporters at the scene just saw what Wang Xiaoshan took out, but they didn't recognize it, so they had to follow Wang Xiaoshan back to the glass room and wait to hear the explanation.
When he arrived at the glass room, Wang Xiaoshan first put the lens on the table, and then began to clean up the things he had just taken out.
The things Wang Xiaoshan took out just now were covered with mud, and it was impossible to tell what kind of treasure they were. He took the cloth and began to wipe it carefully.
Many of the treasures this time are rectangular and thin, like sticks, which are also long like popsicle sticks, but have a narrow handle that is gathered at one end.
There are so many of these popsicle stick-like things that it’s troublesome to wipe them up.
Moreover, these long things like popsicle sticks have a lot of words engraved on them. After Wang Xiaoshan wiped them, he had to use a toothpick to remove the dirt from the words.
The speed was too slow, and the audience in the live broadcast room and the on-site reporters were waiting anxiously.
[Is Lao Wang doing embroidery? It’s so slow. Can the ladies at the scene remind Lao Wang and ask him to speed up? It will get dark if he continues like this for a while.]
[Here comes someone to take care of Lao Wang. I don’t want to see this baby anymore. I strongly request to change it to another one. People watching will be anxious!]
[What Lao Wang is holding should be a sign, but I don’t know what this sign is for.]
In the end, Wang Xiaoshan only cleaned up two treasures that looked like lottery tickets. He had to clean up the rest later, so he put the newly cleaned lottery tickets aside.
Wang Xiaoshan took out another thing from the bucket that was different in length from these signs, and then started cleaning it again. This time the thing he cleaned was much larger than the one just now.
The treasure Wang Xiaoshan is cleaning now is an animal, and it is a common animal. After he cleaned out the head and part of the body of the animal.
Everyone already recognized what kind of animal it was. The audience was posting crazy comments in the live broadcast room, and the reporter on the scene directly said the name of the animal - turtle.
This is a turtle stretching its neck and looking up. The turtle is very realistic, even the texture on its neck is made.
This turtle is in a prostrate form. The turtle's back is bulged, and the cracks engraved on it are clearly visible. A double-layered lotus seat is installed on the turtle's back, and there is a cylindrical tube on the seat.
There is also a lid on the cylindrical tube. The lid is in the shape of a rolled lotus leaf, with a gourd-shaped button on it, and the lid is engraved with patterns.
The cylinder cover is connected to the cylinder body. The cylinder body is engraved with exquisite dragon and phoenix patterns. There are four waist-shaped circles on the lower part of the cylinder body, and there are a pair of flying birds in the circles.
With a turtle as the base, the turtle carries a covered cylinder on its back. From a distance, it looks like a turtle carrying a burning flame candle.
After Wang Xiaoshan finished cleaning, he took the camera and let the audience in the live broadcast room take a closer look at the turtle and the cylinder on the turtle shell. This was the first time he dug out such a treasure.
The turtle and the cylinder are about 34 cm tall in total, and the turtle is about 24 cm long.
"This turtle was also taken out of the pit just now. The turtle's appearance is very realistic."
"This treasure is entirely made of silver, and all the patterns are made of gilt."
[Qi, phoenix, turtle, dragon, and turtle are one of the four ancient spiritual beasts, and they are the only species that exist. The ancients regarded turtles as auspicious things!]
[Everything Lao Wang digs out is extraordinary. This treasure is so exquisitely crafted that many craftsmen may not be able to make it even today!]
[A big turtle is carrying a barrel. What is this thing for? It can’t just be a beautiful handicraft placed as a display at home!]
[Lao Wang opened the lid when he was wiping just now. This tube should be filled with things. The ancients would not put something at home for no reason!]
[Old Wang, please take it easy. If you keep digging like this, sooner or later you will alarm the gods, and sooner or later they will take you in!]
This baby looked very strange, and many viewers didn't know what it was used for, so they began to make various guesses to see if they could guess correctly.
The reporters at the scene could observe it up close, but they didn’t know what this thing was used for, but they felt that this turtle should be related to the signatures just now.
The tortoise and the lottery were taken out together by Wang Xiaoshan from the pit. They should be a set, but no one can guess how to use them.
"This treasure is called Gui Fu, The Analects of Confucius, Jade Candle, Wine Chip, and Gold Silver Tube. It is a game prop used by ancient dignitaries when drinking."
"The things that look like lottery tickets just now are all drinking chips. There are words on the drinking chips. Let me show you how to play!"
Wang Xiaoshan opened the lid on the tube on the back of the turtle, put the two drinking chips he had just wiped clean, and then pulled out one of the drinking chips.
"This drinking order says: ride on a fat horse, wear light fur, fresh and good clothes, and be in good shape."
"The meaning of this sentence is that whoever dresses the most luxuriously should be punished with a large glass of wine."
Wang Xiaoshan took out another drinking chip from the tube and read the words on it.
"This drinking order says: It's a great pleasure to have friends come from afar, and I'll pay you five cents for the reception."
"The meaning of this sentence is: When friends come, all the friends here are very happy, and all the guests at the wine table can only drink half a glass of wine."
Wang Xiaoshan cleared out two drinking tokens. He could only explain the meaning of the words on these two tokens, but everyone would know how to play them after listening to them.
After listening, everyone suddenly understood. Several reporters also looked at the many wine chips in the barrel that Wang Xiaoshan had not cleaned up. It seemed that each wine chip represented a different meaning.
[Now I realize that I should have asked Lao Wang to clean all the drinking chips and explain them to us one by one. This is great, but the two of them haven’t heard it yet!]
[I feel like if you’re not well-educated, you won’t understand what’s written above, and drinking will give you a cultural flavor, but I still like the modern way of drinking!]
[The ancients were so elegant when drinking. When we drink, we all drink with five heads, six six six, seven tricks, eight horses...it’s so atmospheric to drink like this!]
[The sound is not loud, and there is no atmosphere when drinking, but we don’t play boxing. We are all fifteen or twenty, drink heavily and roar loudly!]
[It is so luxurious to make such a beautiful thing just for drinking. The life of rich people in ancient times is also unimaginable!]
"The ancient people's drinking behavior at that time was both orderly and lively, full of joy and peace, which also reflects that it was a prosperous age at that time."
Only in the prosperous times did the ancients have the thought to make such exquisite drinking cups, and only in the prosperous times did the ancients have the leisure and elegance to drink and have fun.
[Old Wang, you can go ahead and clean out the remaining wine chips now, hurry up, hurry up!]
[Remember the above sentences and try to drink in a more elegant way when you drink in the future.]
When Wang Xiaoshan saw that the audience wanted to read the words on the remaining wine chips, he had no choice but to continue cleaning the remaining wine chips in the barrel.
Wang Xiaoshan first handed the turtle drinking chip to several reporters and let them read it first. After they finished reading, they went to write the article, and then the audience could read it slowly.
The camera is pointed directly at Wang Xiaoshan. Let the audience watch him clean up the drinking chips first.
The reporters took the treasure and began to observe it. Each of the four people watched it for more than 5 minutes before going back to write articles. The photographer went to take a few photos one by one.
After the reporters and photographers had finished watching, Wang Xiaoshan pointed the camera at the drinking chip. Now it’s the audience’s turn to watch.
Wang Xiaoshan was hard at work cleaning up a large pile of drinking tokens. There were words on each one, almost more than ten words on each one, and many of them required the use of toothpicks to remove the dirt on them.
Wang Xiaoshan kept staring at the dirt on the small wine ring. After drinking seven or eight wine coins, his eyes became a little sore. He quickly closed his eyes and took a rest.
Finally, it was time for lunch, and Wang Xiaoshan didn’t even clear out all the drinking tokens. The main reason was that there were too many. He estimated that there might be about forty to fifty.
After returning home at noon, Wang Xiaoshan took a shower and went directly to the yard to sit and relax with his eyes closed. Today he wanted to take a good rest and rest his eyes.
Today's lunch was cooked by Li Miaomiao. There were three people including the photographer at noon. She made a big pot of dishes, and one dish directly solved the problem.
After dinner, Wang Xiaoshan first did some eye exercises. No matter whether it works, do it first. It will relieve you a little.
During the break, Wang Xiaoshan gave Li Miaomiao a scientific introduction to the things he dug up in the morning. The knowledge was all in his head and he didn’t need to see the real thing.
Wang Xiaoshan said on the side, and Li Miaomiao listened and took notes. What he said was all content that was not mentioned in the live broadcast room just now, and some of it is very suitable to be written in an article.
After Wang Xiaoshan finished telling Li Miaomiao, the girl sorted out her thoughts and went to Yehu again with him.
After arriving, Li Miaomiao filled in all the places that needed to be supplemented, and then went to the glass room with Wang Xiaoshan. She wanted to clean the wine tokens with Wang Xiaoshan.
After about 20 minutes, several other reporters came back. When the others saw Li Miaomiao cleaning the wine ring chips, they also wanted to clean a few of them themselves.
Since other people have this idea, Wang Xiaoshan gave each of the other three reporters a drinking chip and cleaned it themselves. They are all silver anyway and will not be damaged as long as they do not use brute force.
Wang Xiaoshan really wished that these reporters would help him clean up so that he could rest his eyes.
Teacher Yang also came at noon. Wang Xiaoshan showed the experts what he had taken out in the morning, and then gave the experts all the wine chips he had cleared out.
It just happens that the experts can tell the audience about the drinking order in the live broadcast room, so that the reporters can listen to the experts’ explanations while working, without missing a beat.
Experts and reporters began to get busy. Wang Xiaoshan could finally take a break in the afternoon. He sat at the table and helped reporters and experts.
The four reporters cleaned up very quickly together. In a short time, all the drinking chips were cleaned up by the reporters.
Finally, after cleaning up, Wang Xiaoshan found a total of 50 drinking tokens, each with text on it, and the text was all from "The Analects of Confucius". It was really Confucius' advice to drink, and it would be impossible not to drink.
After cleaning everything out, Wang Xiaoshan put all the drinking chips into the tube on the turtle's back. This is how this treasure looked like at the beginning.
Everyone took out their cameras and mobile phones and started taking pictures. This kind of treasure is rare, so you should seize the time to keep it as a souvenir.
After everyone on the scene finished filming, Wang Xiaoshan took the camera and let the audience in the live broadcast room take a look.
"This is the original appearance of this treasure. From the words on the drinking chip, we can see that there were many situations that required drinking."
"I just counted a total of six types: drinking by yourself, drinking with you, urging you to drink, punishing you, not drinking, and designating someone to drink."
"In addition to drinking, there are also rules for how much to drink. There are rules such as three points, five points, seven points, ten points, etc. Among them, forty points is the maximum amount, and forty points means four full cups."
Now that everything has been sorted out, Wang Xiaoshan has clearly seen all the content above, and he just wants to tell the audience that the ancients also drank in many ways.
[It’s so much fun to drink like this. These methods are not only applicable to ancient people, but are also very applicable to modern drinking. Drinking like this is fun and it’s not easy to drink too much.]
[Wine glass, wine order, Lao Wang, you only need a jar of old wine now. Give me another jar of wine and some peanuts and you can drink it!]
[The ancient drinking method is suitable for people who like to sip little by little. Like me, I like to drink in small sips, and I will get drunk after drinking for a while. It is not easy to get drunk after a sip!]
[Lao Wang quickly ordered some drinks and played with a few girls. Let’s see if it’s fun. Just listening to your introduction is not pleasant at all. I want to see the real drink.]
[Drinking makes your stomach bloated. Maybe all the ladies like to drink. Lao Wang will bring wine and drink with the four ladies at night. You will know the rest!]
Within minutes, people started driving in the live broadcast room, and the speed was so fast that they started driving whenever they disagreed.
When the topic of driving came up, the red-eyed wolf in the live broadcast room immediately became excited. The conversation was in full swing, and it felt like he couldn't stop the car.
Wang Xiaoshan quickly turned the camera to Teacher Yang and asked the experts to talk to the audience about the baby and see if they could stop the car.
After Wang Xiaoshan's introduction, the four reporters went to supplement the articles they wrote in the morning. Everyone in the glass room except him and the experts went to another room.
It's a bit hot now, and Wang Xiaoshan can't dig out the treasure. In the afternoon, he plans to fill the hole he dug yesterday. He didn't fill it in yesterday because there was treasure. Now that he dug it out, he just filled it in.
After about 10 minutes, Li Miaomiao finished writing, and she went to accompany Wang Xiaoshan. The two of them were chatting under the awning.
Hao Meili and others wrote for a while and then went to listen to the expert's explanation. The expert had been explaining the past and present life of Jiu Lingchou, and the talk was endless.
What Hao Meili and the others wanted to hear was the turtle and the chip on the turtle, but after listening for a long time, the expert refused to talk.
However, a few of them only found some information about turtle-bearing Analects of Confucius, jade candles, wine chips, and gold-plated silver tubes on the Internet. There is too little information on the Internet, and experts don’t talk about it.
In fact, it’s not that the experts don’t talk, it’s that the experts are not very familiar with what Wang Xiaoshan dug up today and can’t say a few words, so they might as well talk about other aspects.
There are hundreds of thousands of viewers in the live broadcast room, and experts also want to talk about what they know, so as to appear professional.
In the end, several reporters except Li Miaomiao had to come to Wang Xiaoshan for help. They all wanted Wang Xiaoshan to tell them more, otherwise the manuscript would be really difficult to write.
Now that several girls have come to beg Wang Xiaoshan, he has no choice but to tell everyone. After all, the contents reported by these reporters are all related to him, and it would be unjustifiable not to tell them.
In the end, Wang Xiaoshan had to go to the mobile home to tell everyone more about the treasures dug up today. He went over to talk about it, and the four photographers were coaxed outside.
The four photographers had so much fun playing online mobile games every day, and they talked while playing, so the girls couldn't bear it when they were writing their manuscripts.
Now Wang Xiaoshan is going to talk about treasures. Several photographers talked about games, which somewhat affected the girls' ability to listen to the class, so they were all invited out.
Several reporters listened and took notes, and one of them started recording directly with a voice recorder. Those who don’t remember can still listen to the recording.
The four reporters, like the four students, listened intently to Wang Xiaoshan's explanation of the treasure just now. These reporters found that Wang Xiaoshan was so charming at this time, and the four of them became little fans.
Wang Xiaoshan spoke for about 20 minutes. After the speech, all four people went to write the manuscript. Li Miaomiao made fine adjustments, and the other three people needed to add new content.
After finishing speaking, Wang Xiaoshan did not leave. He sat directly on the sofa and played with his mobile phone. If any reporters had questions later, he could answer them.
After Li Miaomiao finished writing, she gave up the computer. She asked Wang Xiaoshan to help her read the manuscript she had just written. Wang Xiaoshan also needed to use the computer. He wanted to record the treasures he dug out today.
When Wang Xiaoshan checked Li Miaomiao's manuscript, several other reporters asked him a few more questions. It was a rare opportunity to seize the opportunity today, and these reporters would not let it go.
After Wang Xiaoshan checked that there were no problems, he asked several other reporters if they had any problems. After confirming that there were no problems, he went to another room.
The expert is still explaining. Wang Xiaoshan wants to see how the explanation goes. If the expert finishes speaking, he can let the audience continue to look at the treasure they just dug out.
When Wang Xiaoshan went over, he found that the experts were talking enthusiastically. Today's talk was related to wine, and it was also a game played at ancient banquets. Many people were very interested.
The audience was highly motivated and the experts were happy to speak.
Wang Xiaoshan turned his head and looked around Yehu. He found that there seemed to be fewer people around Yehu now. Usually there would not be only such a few people at this time.
But Wang Xiaoshan didn't know why there were suddenly fewer people. He might have been attracted by something else. He felt a little strange.
