Holding the Yongle sweet white glaze dark flower plum vase, the two brothers couldn't put it down.
After Lu Fei admired it, Xu Maochen made a major discovery.
Hearing from his second brother that there might be words inside, Lu Fei was so shocked that he quickly took the plum bottle and checked it for himself.
Seeing this, Lu Fei was even more shocked.
There are some small incised lines on the inner wall of the plum vase, which are indeed words.
The font is very light and has no color. You can only roughly see the outline, but you can't tell what the words are.
Lu Fei took out the ink pad and cotton cloth from his bag, and asked Ma Tengyun to find a piece of wire.
Wrap the cotton cloth around one end of the wire, apply red ink pad, and insert it along the bottom of the bottle.
Pay attention to the direction and use cotton cloth to carefully apply it on the inner wall texture.
After applying evenly, wipe off the ink pad outside the lines with a clean cotton cloth.
Then he used a strong flashlight to hit the outer wall of the plum vase. Through the paper-thin wall, four lines of small red regular script characters were clearly visible.
"Melons grow with branches of solid wood, and thieves know each other and cannot bear to be deceived. Snakes and pigeons are tame and come around to protect them. The origin is pure filial piety and God knows.
"Twenty-four filial piety!"
"This is a poem written by Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, who bestowed upon his filial son Hou Yi the Twenty-four Filial Piety!"
boom--
After seeing these words clearly, Little Dog and others were collectively stunned, but Lu Fei and Xu Maochen were shocked and dumbfounded.
Filial piety is the first of all virtues. Since ancient times, filial piety has been a traditional virtue in China.
Especially in ancient times, filial sons were loved by others. Even emperors of all dynasties respected filial sons highly.
Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, specially gave poems to each of the twenty-four filial piety sons.
The poem on the inner wall is one of two poems given by Zhu Di to Hou Yi, a famous filial son in the Song Dynasty.
But now, the two brothers Lu Fei have no time to argue about the meaning of the poem. The two brothers are confused by the same problem.
How were these words engraved?
Lu Fei checked carefully and found that the plum vase was definitely one piece and was drawn in one go.
In other words, the embryo is 100% made first, and then the words are engraved inside.
Then the problem comes.
Only six centimeters in diameter, and The mouth of the bottle is more than fifteen centimeters away from the side wall where the verses are engraved.
So, how are these words engraved?
Who can do it?
This is simply incredible.
When asked about this issue, not only the two Lu Fei brothers, but also the younger brothers were shocked.
"miracle!"
"This is a miracle!"
"It's incredible."
Wang Xinlei admired him wholeheartedly, but then the little nanny poured a basin of cold water on him.
"What a miracle!"
"Isn't it just to write a few words in it?"
"There are so many ways to do this, can this be called a miracle?"
"puff"
"Brother Long, can we stop blowing?"
"Even Brother Fei can't see how it was engraved, how can you?" Wang Xinlei said.
"Is this difficult?" the little puppy said disdainfully.
"Pack!"
"You're just pretending."
"It's not difficult for you to tell me how these words were engraved on it?" Wang Xinlei shouted.
"What's this?"
"If you want me to do it, there are many ways."
"any solution?"
"We can roll the mud into cakes, carve them with characters and roll them up, and then"
"You can pull it down. That's a purple clay pot you're talking about."
"Can the porcelain bottle not be made like that?"
"In the porcelain bottle, you put the mud on the turntable, wet your hands with water, and then pull the mud up. I have done this before," Wang Xinlei said.
"This is wrong, isn't it!"
"It doesn't matter, there are other ways."
"We can get a curved wire and insert it along the mouth of the bottle to engrave words on the inside. Wouldn't that be OK?" the little dog said confidently.
road.
"Bullshit!"
"The mouth of the bottle is so small and the belly of the bottle is so big. How do you do it?"
"Even if it can be engraved, can you see what's inside?"
"Even if you can see it."
"How can you carve words on a wire that's more than ten centimeters long and needs to be bent, with consistent depth and neatness?"
"Your method doesn't work either," Wang Xinlei said.
"Don't worry, I have another trick."
"Can we train a few ants or spiders and let them crawl in and draw inside?"
"Pooh!"
"I spit on your face, and the more you talk, the more outrageous you become."
"I wipe it?"
"Isn't this okay?"
"It doesn't matter, I still have a way."
"I tie a small wooden block to the wire, make a positive stamp on the front of the wooden block, insert the stamp inside, and print it directly on the inner wall, right?"
"Hiss——"
Wang Xinlei was speechless now.
It seems that this method can really be done perfectly.
Lu Fei, who was racking his brains and thinking hard, his eyes lit up when he heard the little milk dog's words.
After thinking about it carefully, in that extremely underdeveloped era, the method mentioned by the little milk dog was probably the final answer.
It was not difficult to prove this, so Lu Fei immediately started experimenting.
Coat the inner wall with ink pad again, then cut a piece of rice paper and rub it in your hands to make the rice paper softer.
Then roll the rice paper into a roll and slide it down from the mouth of the bottle, leaving a small part at the top that can be taken out at any time, and then use small wooden strips to unfold the rice paper.
Use a wooden stick wrapped in cotton cloth to apply pressure on the back of the rice paper and start rubbing.
Finally, he took out the rice paper and spread it out. Lu Fei looked at it carefully.
The font is neat, but the arrangement is slightly off.
And the shades are not completely uniform.
On top of that, there are some subtle indentations around the font. It can be judged from these characteristics that these words are 100% printed.
Moreover, it is printed one word after another, so the force is inconsistent, leaving such traces.
After finding the answer, Lu Fei smiled and gave the little puppy a thumbs up.
"Congratulations, you were right!"
The little puppy was stunned by this sudden burst of happiness and spoke incoherently.
"Really?"
"Is it really a spider crawling?"
"puff!"
"Climb your sister, it was printed on her."
"Fuck!"
"I guessed it right?"
"I guessed it fucking right?"
"Hahaha, Xiaoyao, did you see that you, Brother Long, and I are geniuses?"
"I bother!"
"Brother Fei said you were fooled, why don't you still order Bilian?" Wang Xinlei said with disdain.
"Hold!"
"It's my fault to be right."
"Even my own brother can't be fooled. Doesn't this mean that I am a genius?"
"You kid is just jealous and jealous of Chi Guoguo."
"Get out of here."
After the little naughty dog finished speaking, he came to Lu Fei's side and said.
"Brother, there are words inside this bottle. Isn't it even more awesome?"
Lu Fei nodded and said.
"That's right!"
"It's worth more than ten times."
Xu Maochen looked at Lu Fei's rubbings and admired them sincerely.
"This plum vase is a valuable treasure in itself."
"If you have this poem again, it is the greatest treasure among treasures."
"It's incredible that the ancients could think of such a method to print characters inside."
The little puppy nodded and said.
"indeed so."
"It's really incredible that the Ming Dynasty can produce a genius with such great wisdom as me."
