Happy Tycoon
Chapter 181: 4-armed bronze statue
"Hey buddy, what are you doing squatting here?" A voice rang suddenly, awakening Yang Jing from his contemplation.
Yang Jing looked up, but it was now the owner of the Longquan Ge Kiln Flower Mouth Plate and the pair of Ru porcelain fragments that he had just sold to him.
This guy was riding a big three-wheeled cart with a lot of things wrapped in colored strips, and he was looking at himself with a smile.
"Yeah, it's nothing, it's just thinking about things just now." Yang Jing smiled and stood up immediately. As a result, when he stood up, there was a sudden tingling in his legs, and he almost fell to his head.
"Yeah, you have to be careful. You have been squatting for a long time, and the blood on your legs is impassable." The stall owner has quick eyes and hands. He sat on the seat of the car and grabbed Yang Jing, smiling to Yang Jing. Said.
"Thank you! I didn't expect this leg to be numb after squatting for a while." Yang Jing smiled and thanked him, and then slowly stood firm.
"Let's go, hurry in, it's been ten minutes since the door was open. I was a bit farther away, or I would have squeezed in now."
Yang Jing raised his hand to look at the watch, and it turned out that it was already four to forty. He just squatted for twenty minutes without knowing it.
"Come on, you can go in first, and I will wander in afterwards." Yang Jingchong said to the stall owner.
The boss waved his hand with a smile, and with a push on his leg, he entered the market through the gate with three rounds.
Yang Jing also shook his head, and walked behind to the gate across the road.
This is the darkest time of the day. Except for the two high-hanging light bulbs at the door of the huge Panjiayuan Second-hand Market, which illuminates the small handful of places near the door, other places are still dark. Blockbuster.
Even if you walk into the market, it is still dark and you can’t see anything, but at this time the market is completely lively, especially in the greenhouse area. Hundreds of small light bulbs unite to illuminate the greenhouse area. There was more or less light, and countless figures gathered in the large shed area. Under the dim light, it really seemed to be a shadowy ghost.
Just received three treasures that opened the door and a bunch of more precious pieces of Ru porcelain, which made Yang Jing more confident in the ghost market of this era. Tightening his backpack, Yang Jing walked into the greenhouse with the flow of people.
As he walked, Yang Jing stopped slowly, and finally, he stopped in front of a booth.
This stall sells all kinds of objects made of bamboo, wood, teeth, and horns. There are many kinds of objects. In addition, on the edge of this stall, there are several Buddha statues of various shapes.
It was not the other things on the stall that attracted Yang Jing's eyes, but a Buddha statue about less than fifty centimeters high and four arms that seemed to be dancing.
Judging from the faintly visible reflected light, this Buddha statue should be a bronze statue, but the posture of this bronze Buddha statue is really very different from the posture of the Buddha statue seen in peacetime.
Buddhism has an important position in Chinese history. In history, many monarchs have destroyed the Buddha, but there are also more emperors who are devout Buddhist believers. As for the Chinese people, Buddhism is a sect that can be compared with Taoism. It has a very wide spread. It is not an exaggeration to say that Buddhism is even more powerful than Taoism in the minds of Chinese people.
There are many uneducated old ladies and grandfathers in China's rural areas. If you ask them who their Taoist ancestors are, they may not know, but if you ask them Guanyin Bodhisattva, there is almost nothing they don't know.
This is the power of Buddhism.
Therefore, in the past dynasties, Buddha statues are often seen, from Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes to Yungang Grottoes and Longmen Grottoes, from miniature Buddha statues only a few centimeters high to the 70-meter-high Leshan Giant Buddha, the number of Chinese Buddha statues It can be described as numerous.
However, most of the Chinese Buddha statues are dignified and demeaned. Even though the dense arms of the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva look a bit daunting, the appearance of the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is extremely dignified.
The Buddha statue in front of him deviated from the traditional dignity and generosity of the Chinese Buddha statue. The Buddha carved by this statue seems to be dancing. The right leg is bent and landed on the ground alone, and the left leg is sitting cross-legged in the Erlang posture. The left arm is bent, and the left hand is flush with the shoulder. The right hand of the Buddha image made the same movement, except that it was holding a cylindrical object.
The most terrible thing is that this Buddha has more than two arms, it has four arms!
In addition to the original two arms on the left and right shoulders of this Buddha, one arm has grown from each. Among them, the palm of the arm on the right also made an upright posture with four fingers bent and the palm forward.
As for the extra arm on the left, the arm stretched out to the lower right and the palm was directly under the right palm, making a gesture of standing upright. These two extra arms made the gesture of "Quick Fight Three", Xiaobai and Xiaohong using "Du Gen" Qibo Gong...
The entire bronze statue looks like some kind of ceremony is being held in this Buddha.
If you say that Buddha statues are made into dancing...oh no, it should be a ritual posture. It is not unavailable in the Chinese historical Buddha sculptures, but suddenly there is a Buddha with four arms still serving as a ritual. What the **** is this? ?
If there is any reasonable explanation, it is that this Buddha image is not a Chinese Buddha image at all, but an exotic product. Especially for gods with this peculiar shape, the greatest possibility is from India in the south.
India is a very weird country, weird in all aspects, especially in terms of beliefs.
In the Indian faith, there are so many gods that even the Indians themselves cannot count them, from the three main gods of Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu to the **** of wisdom like Ganesha, and then What bull gods, horse gods...etc. It seems that as long as they are animals, they can become gods in the minds of Indians.
Well, even monkeys can become monkey gods—little Lolita’s monkey **** uncle...that seems to be a Bollywood movie...
Okay, it's crooked...
Anyway, there are many gods in India, and their shapes are also strange. And the deity with four arms in front of him, although the shape is very peculiar, Yang Jing still recognized the true identity of the deity portrayed by this sculpture at a glance.
Yes, this is not a Buddha statue, but a bronze statue of a **** from India, and it is also a bronze statue of Lord Shiva, one of the three most famous gods in India.
Lord Shiva has five faces, four arms and three eyes. Although the bronze statue in front of you has four arms and three eyes, its posture is really special.
In India, Lord Shiva often appears in this posture. After all, Lord Shiva is also the **** of dance in the legend. There are 108 kinds of dances...
To make this kind of ritual movement into a dance movement, it is estimated that only this dance **** would do it.
A bronze statue of almost the same style, Yang Jing once saw it in an "Auction Yearbook."
The bronze statue Yang Jing once saw was named "Bronze Dance King Shiva Carrying the Ganges Descendant". It was a bronze statue from the Chora Dynasty in Tamil Nadu, southern India in the ninth century.
This bronze statue was sold at a high price of US$2.85 million at the Christie's-Jinse Nianhua-An Siyuan Private Collection Auction in 2o15.
However, the bronze statue in Mr. An Siyuan's collection is only 41.2 centimeters high, which is almost ten centimeters shorter than the bronze statue in front of him. The most important thing is that the bronze statue in front of me is not only bigger, but also better in appearance.
Mr. An Siyuan’s collection of Shiva, the dancing king, took on the Ganges descent, and the color has become jet black, and the bronze statue in front of him, whether it is patina or the original copper color, is undoubtedly better . Obviously, the bronze statue in front of me should have been enshrined for a long time and often wiped by people, so it can be preserved so well.
I just don't know why this bronze statue, which has been enshrined for a long time, will fall into the hands of the vendors in the Panjiayuan Second-hand Goods Market.
There is almost no difference between this bronze statue and the bronze statue collected by Mr. An Siyuan, except for the difference in size.
If this bronze statue is genuine, then if you bring it back for shooting, you will definitely be able to easily pass the "Bronze Dance King Shiva undertaking the Ganges Descendant Statue" collected by Mr. An Siyuan. Especially recently, Indians have actually produced a few top-ranked tycoons in the world. This kind of foreign antiques that they don't want to collect but are extremely valuable, if they can get them back and sell them, it would be pretty good.
Thinking of this, Yang Jing pretended not to understand anything and said to the stall owner: "Boss, how do you sell the Buddha statues here? There is an elder in my family who likes Buddhism and would like to invite one back to worship."
The stall owner was delighted when he heard these words. No matter how old or how he spoke, the young man in front of him knew he was a "blind bear" (rookie). Yo, why is the color of his eyeballs like this? Could it be crooked nuts?
Haha, I like crooked nuts the most. They are stupid and have a lot of money! Who wouldn't kill you?
"Hello, my little brother, the Buddha statues here are all authentic pieces of the Eight Classics. Look at this stone Buddha. This was invited from Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes. Look at this statue again. This is from Longmen. Invited from the Grotto..."
It is said that Yanjing’s taxi drivers can talk, but Yang Jing feels that if Yanjing’s taxi drivers come to Panjiayuan, they will definitely be stunned by these traffickers in less than ten minutes!
The trader’s eloquence is called a good one, that is called a eloquent one, that is called a bright tongue lotus, that is called a... Anyway, this guy talked for three minutes without stopping. , He explained the origins of the six or seven Buddha statues on his stall. Even the dancing king Shiva took on the Ganges Descendant statue, but he was stupefied by the dude saying that he was invited from Mount Putuo, the holy place of Buddhism. The coming Bodhisattva...
In the end, the dealer pointed to the so-called Buddha statue invited from the "Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes" and said: "Little brother, I think you are still very sincere. The Buddha likes sincere people, so I suggest you take this Please go back to the Buddha statue."
Yang Jing thought to herself: "Since you pretend to be a bear blind, you can just pretend to be in the end." So he smiled and asked, "How much is this Buddha statue?"
"Little brother, please don't ask the Buddha how much money, you are a taboo. You should say that I want to enshrine the Buddha with 20,000 incense money..."
Yang Jing rolled his eyes, regretting pretending to be a bear blind. Just now while the boss was chattering, Yang Jing used the holy ring to appraise it, confirming that this bronze statue is undoubtedly authentic, and that the bronze statue treasured by Mr. An Siyuan comes from the same place and the same dynasty.
His sister's, this one is obviously a stone Buddha produced in batches by a certain stone factory. This guy dares to open his mouth and it is 20,000 yuan, and he does not have the beautiful name "incense money for Buddha"! Are you a novice monk who serves Buddha?
Yang Jing shook his head, looking at the boss with a smile but not talking.
Upon seeing this, the boss smiled and said: "Little brother, you are going to invite the Buddha. There is nothing else to ask the Buddha. Sincerity is the spirit, so you can't care too much about the incense money!"
"Damn, buddies don't want to care about you. Are you still pushing your nose and cheeks? Don't force buddies to use ‘good oil roots’ for you, and you’ll find teeth everywhere if you hit them!" Yang Jing thought secretly.
Seeing Yang Jing still silent, the stall owner continued to flicker: "Little brother, you see, this Buddha statue was invited from the far side of Dunhuang. This is a national first-class protected cultural relic. If you want to go, please. If you don’t have more money for incense, can you think about whether the Buddha can go with you?"
Yang Jing was amused by the guy, "Boss, can you be sure this is the stone Buddha of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes?"
"So there are fakes? I sell real ones here!"
"Well, you said just now. This is a national first-class protected cultural relic. You are here to sell national first-class protected cultural relics. Are you not afraid of the police asking you to drink tea? Although I am a British Chinese, but The blood flowing on me is the blood of our Chinese Han people. If you sell our country's first-class cultural relics, you are not afraid that I will turn around and tell the police after I buy this statue? Or should I just go to the police comrades to call the police?"
When the boss heard this, his face suddenly changed.
However, Yang Jing did not give him a chance to speak, but continued: "Boss, don't kill me as a blind bear. Although I have been abroad all the year round, I can see that your Buddha statue is fresh and fresh. Braving the heat, if I’m not mistaken, there are many stone factories in Fangshan and Mentougou that produce this kind of Buddha statues. How much do I remember? Twenty or thirty? You give me twenty thousand. This is a bit too unreasonable."
The boss's face changed again, and he finally stopped talking.
Yang Jing unceremoniously pointed to the other Buddha statues and said: "These Buddha statues should come together with your so-called Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes Buddha statue? Even this bronze statue is probably not good. Goods. In the myths and legends of our country, Monkey Sun and God Erlang have three heads and six arms, Chi You has eight arms and nine toes, and a thousand-armed Guanyin, but I have never heard of a **** with four arms? Could it be this bronze statue? A fool made it out of thin air? Boss, you have to buy something reliable even if you buy goods. What are you looking at the bronze statue you bought!"
"Boss, don’t you win me~lightnovelpub.net~ I’m a British Chinese, I don’t understand the rules of the circle, and I just say something, I can’t hide things in my heart, you There is nothing that can withstand the exquisiteness of the things that you entered. You will give me 20,000 yuan. Do you really take me as a fool? Look at you..."
The boss’s face has turned green. If the young man in front of him is domestic or in the circle, and he is so arrogant and arguing, it’s a taboo. His boss just hits people and can’t say anything else, who Make you bullshit?
But they just said that he is not a member of this circle, and they are not even Chinese nationals. They are crooked nuts. Can you expect crooked nuts to abide by the rules? Do you dare to do something with crooked nuts?
The police won't let you sit in prison and count you as a great skill!
"Big brother! Grandpa! You are my pro-uncle, but you can't make it? Please don't say anything, okay? You can pay as much as you want..."
