He Ren really didn't expect that he and Buddha statues would be so destined. In just a few days, he had seen several Buddha statues.
It's just that the Buddha statue in front of you is a bit strange. It's not the common seated statue, but a standing statue. It's not high, about thirty centimeters, and the material is not the common copper or gilt, but rosewood. The carving is very ordinary. Judging from the coating, it should be a Buddha statue from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.
He Ren didn't recognize what kind of Buddha this was at first glance, which was quite surprising. During this period, apart from watching the young ladies dance, he spent almost all the rest of his time studying various antiques and antiques. The Buddha statue was one of them, but there was no such thing. recognize?
What’s even more strange is that judging from the carving, coating and material, the price of this Buddha statue is only 150,000 to 60,000 yuan at best. Why does it use the same brocade box as the big Doucai jar just now? Is there any explanation?
Only then did He Ren choose to open his treasure-appraisal eyes——
Name: Qing Dynasty Red Sandalwood Buddha
Years: one hundred and thirteen years
Judging from the age, it is indeed something from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, which is consistent with He Ren's judgment, but this Tantan Buddha... He Ren really didn't remember who it was for a while, and the face was a little blurry because it was too long, so he couldn't see clearly at all.
He Ren, the Buddha of Sandalwood Merit, did know that it was Tripitaka of the Tang Dynasty. After obtaining the Western Sutra, Tathagata Buddha named Tripitaka of Tang Dynasty the Buddha of Sandalwood Merit and Virtue, and Sun Wukong as the Victory Buddha...
However, there are almost no Buddha statues of Zhan Tan Merit Buddha. Generally, Tang Sanzang mostly has portraits, or they are directly carved with jade or jade.
He Ren looked around and found that everyone else was also frowning, obviously helpless. Mr. Peng didn't raise his hand this time, and no one noticed it. He raised his hand in vain.
The atmosphere froze for a moment. The most anxious one was Jiang Chen. When he saw He Ren frowning, he knew that He Ren didn't even look over. For Jiang Chen, this was a good opportunity to prove that he was better than He Ren, but he didn't look either. Who is this Buddha statue? After all, the face is too blurry, and standing statues are indeed relatively rare.
Just when everyone looked at each other and Zhu Youcai was about to ask Mr. Peng, Jiang Chen spoke first, "I don't see what kind of Buddha statue this is. I wonder what expert He who has defeated Mr. Wang's beloved disciple has any advice?"
Everyone turned their attention to He Ren. Jiang Chen was right. Apart from Mr. Peng, He Ren and Jiang Chen probably had a higher level of treasure appraisal. After all, they came here with the reputation of experts.
Now that Jiang Chen is taking the initiative to show weakness, it depends on He Ren.
Friends, when their Coca-Cola is broken, they just love to watch the anchor lose his temper.
"Anchor, please say something."
"Hey, hey, hey? Is the anchor's microphone broken? Please turn on the microphone to communicate."
"Silence is Cambridge tonight..."
He Ren curled his lips, what was he afraid of? Anyway, the system has given the name. At most, it’s enough to just state the name and the situation. It’s not necessary to explain the origin...
"Uh..." He Ren cleared his throat and smiled, "This is the Sandalwood Buddha. His face, hands and feet, and lotus base are all made of lacquered gold. His right hand is raised with the fearless seal, which means the great compassionate wish to save all sentient beings and can comfort them." All living beings are fearless of hardships; the left hand is drooping, showing the yes and wish seal, which means complying with the prayers of all living beings..."
"The cassock I wear is also very particular. It's called a collarless, shoulder-length cassock. The pattern looks like the cassock has been wetted by water. I..."
He Ren's eyes lit up and he swallowed back the word "Fuck". It was the "Encyclopedia of Calligraphy and Painting" that saved him. He suddenly searched for relevant knowledge in his memory. This time it was not portraits, but Buddhist scriptures.
Chantan Buddha is actually Sakyamuni.
According to Buddhist scriptures, the Sandalwood Buddha was the first Buddha statue made during the Buddha's lifetime. After becoming a Buddha, in order to repay his mother's kindness, he ascended to Trayasa Heaven to preach the Dharma to the deceased Lady Maya. King Youtian, who was still alive in the world at this time, missed Sakyamuni, so he ordered people to carve a standing statue of Sakyamuni out of ox-headed sandalwood.
He Ren remembered this because the water ripples on the cassock had the same character as "Zhan", so it was easier to remember...
"Expert He, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Chen was happy. When he saw He Ren mumbling words at first, he thought that this kid had really figured it out, but he didn't expect that he couldn't continue talking in the middle of the sentence.
He Ren glanced at Jiang Chen and ignored him at all. For such a person, ignoring him is the most real harm. Sure enough, Jiang Chen was so angry that he almost turned red...
Before Jiang Chen could continue to attack, He Ren said with a smile, "The two sides are symmetrical, the pleats hang down from the arms and hips, and the edges are wavy. This is the classic cassock of Sakyamuni Buddha. The sandalwood Buddha statue is the origin of many Buddha statues. , we can see the shadow of Chantan Buddha on many Buddha statues."
He Ren began to make up a barrage, "I saw someone asked, why is the statue of Sakyamuni called the Sandalwood Buddha? This is a good question, because it was carved from sandalwood by King Youten. Sandalwood is a kind of sandalwood in ancient India. Rare wood, also called white sandalwood, this kind of sandalwood was used by wealthy people in ancient times when they burned incense and bathed."
"However, Mr. Peng's sandalwood Buddha was not carved from sandalwood, but from rosewood. It was made much later. It was probably an imitation of the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China."
If Mr. Peng applauded just now to give He Ren face, this time he was really convinced. This Tantan Buddha has been in Peng's family for a long time, and many people have seen it. Only a few can recognize it directly, and even fewer can tell its origin.
He Ren is young and his knowledge reserve far exceeds that of some so-called experts. That Jiang Chen is also an expert. Didn't he see nothing?
Even if He Ren recognized that this was a sandalwood Buddha statue, he still found it strange. The price of the red sandalwood Buddha in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China was only 150,000 at most. Is it so precious?
Except for Jiang Chen, who was still confused and didn't expect He Ren to recognize the Buddha statue, everyone else obviously agreed with He Ren.
Mr. Peng smiled slightly and said nothing. Instead, he took the Buddha statue out of the brocade box and stood it on the table for everyone to observe again.
This time, even Liu Fei came over with his mobile phone and turned it around several times so that the treasure friends in the live broadcast room could see clearly.
Suddenly, Jiang Chen, who was standing aside, rushed to the Buddha statue, took out a magnifying glass, took a look, then quickly put away the magnifying glass and stepped back.
This operation confused everyone, except Mr. Peng who showed an imperceptible smile.
He Ren thought about it. The position chosen by Jiang Chen just now was extremely good, blocking almost all the viewing angles. Only He Ren could roughly see the position he was looking at.
But it's useless to know this. He Ren didn't bring a magnifying glass...
This didn't bother him. He took out his mobile phone and entered his live broadcast room. His live broadcast had an automatic replay function. Just now, Liu Fei used his mobile phone to circle the Buddha statue twice, so he should be able to see the clues.
He Ren adjusted it for a long time, zooming in and pausing, and finally he saw it. It turned out that there was a very small, almost imperceptible gap at the joint between the Buddha statue and the lotus platform.
He Ren almost cursed, "Golden Eyes"? Is there something inside the Buddha statue?
