Chapter 251. Lotus inkstone, plum vase and chrysanthemum pot
Cui Hao was stunned when he asked this question. He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it.
"Then how to explain the set of ten absolute coins? Gentlemen value righteousness and despise wealth, how can they have anything to do with these ancient coins?"
"Mr. Cui is wrong again. Let me ask you, when Miss Siyi said just now, when was the Dachao Tongbao in this set of ten treasures coined?"
"Mongolian Han Dynasty, the period of Genghis Khan, so what? Genghis Khan was an emperor, but he was not a gentleman." He snorted coldly.
Ren Ping smiled: "A gentleman's footsteps are viewed by a villain; a gentleman's work is done by a villain's heart, and a villain's work is the rule of the former king. Have you ever heard of these two sentences?"
Cui Hao frowned and shook his head.
"The previous sentence, what a gentleman does, what a villain sees, is what the princes and nobles can do easily, and the common people can only look at it with empty eyes,"
"The last sentence, the gentleman works hard, the villain works hard, and the system of the former kings is also the literal meaning. The high officials and dignitaries are engaged in mental work, while the common people are engaged in physical labor. This is the system established by the former kings,"
"These two sentences come from "The Book of Songs" and "Spring and Autumn". The word "junzi" in them refers to people with high status or rulers, and can also refer to emperors. In fact, when the word "junzi" first appeared, it meant emperor, "
"Genghis Khan is the great man of the Mongol Empire, the same as the emperor, how can he not be a gentleman?"
After saying these words, everyone felt that Ren Ping was a little too strong.
Sure enough, Cui Hao raised his eyebrows and slapped the table next to him: "Absurd! It's so accurate! As you said, all emperors can be called gentlemen, so the ancient coins they minted during their reign are all related to gentleman ?”
"It can be said that these things were originally just derived from this."
Ren Ping looked calm.
He only looked at Cui Hao angrily, knowing that he was sophistry, but he couldn't refute it for a while, because he was really knowledgeable at first, and even used allusions from 2000 years ago such as "Book of Songs" and "Spring and Autumn" .
Secondly, as he said, the things in this field are only derived from these two words, and the connection is more or less justified. In this way, no matter how much the debate continues, there will be no conclusion after all, but he will lead the way. .
Thinking of this, he couldn't help becoming more angry.
Zhuang Weinian, who was at the side, knew that he was restless, so he took over the conversation: "Mr. Ren's arguments sound reasonable at first glance, but in fact, they are all between yes and no, and there are countless things to do."
"Oh? Really? Why don't you order a few more from Mr. Zhuang and see if I'm right?"
Zhuang Weinian ignored his provocation and pointed at the five things on the table:
"In any case, the key to victory or defeat still lies in these few things. Mr. Lu said that they are the eyes of the field. You also said that the field is related to the word gentleman, so of course they are also included in the scope?"
"of course."
"Well, Mr. Zhuang is all ears, but I hope that what Mr. Ren will say next will not be full of far-fetched words."
As soon as the words fell, Zhuang Weinian sat upright, with no expression of joy or anger on his face.
On the surface, this person doesn't look like mountains and dews, but in fact he is calmer and more alert than Cui Hao, and has a unique vision than Fan Jingxian. He is worthy of being the real leader of the three provinces.
Sure enough, when the disciples from the three provinces heard this, they immediately started clamoring: "That's right! A gentleman is a gentleman, which refers to a person with noble virtues. He is not a saint or an emperor!"
"Aren't these five things the eyes of the field? Since they are the eyes of the field, they are not extensions, but they are closely related to the word "gentleman". If you talk about ancient poems thousands of years ago, it doesn't count!"
"If you talk about other nonsense, then don't mention it, we win!"
After being introduced by Zhuang Weinian, these children from the three provinces knew which direction to take the situation.
Even Rong Qiancheng and others on the side thought to themselves that just now Ren Ping talked too much. If the last five things are not closely related to the word "gentleman", but just related, then it is really unreasonable.
Immediately, he couldn't help but look at Su Rui and Qi Xiaoshuang.
Qi Xiaoshuang shook his head: "Uncle Rong forgive me, we don't know why he chose these five things, and we don't know why it has something to do with the word gentleman."
Rong Qiancheng couldn't help showing a look of disappointment, but Ren Ping's affairs have always been hidden, which is not surprising.
I saw that he ignored the words and threats of the people in the three provinces, with a smile on his face, and seemed to be extremely confident. He paused and picked up the first thing on his left hand:
"Brothers, let me test you first. Where does this thing come from?"
What was in his hand at the moment was the inkstone made of white jade. It was not very precious to begin with, but the center of the inkstone was shaped like a pool, and the surroundings were carved with lotus petals as a lining. This shape was quite rare.
Most of the children from the three provinces saw it and thought hard, but Cui Siyi said coldly:
"This is a lotus inkstone from Xunyang Province. There should be a cave called the Lotus Cave, which is rich in lotus flowers. The craftsmen who made the inkstone used the landscape to make the inkstone in the inkstone into a lotus pond. ,"
"As for the white jade, it's not the finest mutton jade, and of course it's not produced in Hotan, it's just an ordinary local jade in Xunyang Province."
All the disciples from the three provinces breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, they thought that the white jade used to make the inkstone had something to do with it, if it was really Hetian jade, it would be hard to say anything, since it is not, then they should feel at ease.
As for the lotus inkstone and the like, they have never heard of it, and it is not a famous variety.
Ren Ping also nodded, and took a look at Cui Siyi: "Miss Cui is indeed amazing, she can even recognize such an unpopular inkstone. I remember that your Cui family is not in Xunyang Province, but in Qinchuan Province?"
"Mr. Ren, you're welcome. I want to know what the relationship between this inkstone and the word gentleman is. You won't be prevaricating just because of the phrase 'gentleman is as gentle as jade'?"
"Of course not, Miss Cui, please see the second one."
Ren Ping smiled, and without waiting for her to ask further questions, he lifted up the dark blue porcelain bottle with a small mouth and short neck.
Cui Siyi knew at a glance that it was porcelain from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The dark blue glaze was only available in the Ming and Qing Dynasties after the emergence of pastels. However, the key to this thing is not the material, but the shape.
Other children on the side recognized it and immediately said: "This is an ancient plum vase. It first appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and in the Song Dynasty it was called a neck vase. Because the mouth of the vase is narrow and narrow, it can be used to put plum blossoms in winter, so there is another plum vase. name."
There was a burst of agreement from all around, but Cui Siyi shook her head: "That's not right."
"Why? Isn't this a plum vase."
"It's true that it's a plum bottle, but the name didn't appear during the Tang and Song Dynasties, but after the Ming Dynasty. It's called a plum bottle because the mouth of the bottle is so narrow that it can only accommodate a plum branch, but no one really uses it. It comes as a vase,"
"In fact, the plum bottle was originally used as a wine vessel, which was used to hold wine. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that it gradually became a kind of ornamental porcelain because of its beautiful shape."
The boy who spoke just now blushed and glanced at Ren Ping.
Ren Ping smiled slightly: "If this brother is not sure, you can go back and look up the previous TV series "Water Margin". There are many plum vases of this kind in it."
These words naturally affirmed that what Cui Siyi said just now was true, so she didn't stop after she finished speaking, and picked up the third piece, the copper teapot covered with golden lacquer and chrysanthemum patterns.
Now, even Cui Siyi couldn't help frowning, because although this teapot is said to be made of copper, its copper color is dark red, which belongs to the typical carved lacquer technique.
But the golden lacquer chrysanthemum pattern on its body is not carved lacquer, but more like inlaid later. The two complement each other, complement each other, and look like a whole, but the craftsmanship obviously belongs to two kinds.
Things like this made by two crafts are rare on the market, and its origin is difficult to infer.
For a while, she was silent, seemingly clueless.
Although no one dared to underestimate her due to her previous performance and her ability to recognize the two lotus inkstones and plum vases, but compared to Ren Ping's fluent answers to Shijueqian just now, she has lost a lot.
Cui Hao and the other three people on the side sighed when they saw this. Originally, they really wanted Cui Siyi to deal with it alone, which also showed that her vision and knowledge were not inferior to Ren Ping's, but now it seems that they still have to put the overall situation first.
"This thing is made of two different handicrafts, one is called carved lacquer, and the other is called filigree inlay. Both of them were popular in the Qing Dynasty, and they both belong to the peak of Chinese traditional handicrafts, "Yanjing Bajue". List,"
"As for the thing itself, judging from its chrysanthemum pattern, it is naturally a chrysanthemum pot."
