229. A Mother Is More Precious Than A Child, A Blessed Person, The Origin Of The Golden Pagoda!
The director's sudden question shocked everyone nearby.
The director of the cultural relics bureau actually went to ask Fang Yang what kind of cultural relic it was.
But looking at the accompanying archaeological experts, they looked indifferent, as if this was a very normal thing.
In just a few hours, Fang Yang refreshed their cognition again and again.
Fang Yang looked at the exquisite golden pagoda in front of him, and couldn't help feeling: "People in ancient times were really extravagant. I'm afraid only the emperor's family can build such a big golden pagoda!"
As soon as this sentence came out, the expressions of the surrounding people froze.
The director breathed heavily and asked: "What do you mean, the golden pagoda in front of you came from the emperor's house? It seems that you have seen its origin!"
Fang Yang chuckled: "If you go back and look up the allusions to this thing, it's not hard to know where it came from. I don't know if you have watched the TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan"."
The voice just fell.
Yang Tou, Li Dui and others immediately replied: "I know, I've seen it!"
"Is this related to Zhen Huan?"
Fang Yang said again: "Then do you know who the prototype of Zhen Huan is in history?"
"I... don't know!"
The director of the Bureau of Cultural Relics next to him answered with a smile: "This doesn't bother me. Historically, the prototype of Zhen Huan was Qianlong's biological mother, the Empress Dowager of Chongqing. Her original name was Zhen Yuhuan, but she was renamed Zhen Huan because she thought the word jade was vulgar. She was a Han. Yongzheng bestowed the surname Niu Hulu, carried the flag as the Three Banners of Manchuria, and was named Niu Hulu·Zhen Huan."
"Yes! This thing is the same as the records I have read before. It is called the Qing Qianlong Golden Hair Pagoda. It was built by Emperor Qianlong in memory of his mother Zhen Huan. There are so many precious stones and gold, just to store a hair of Zhen Huan!"
Hiss~~
After listening to Fang Yang's introduction, everyone took a deep breath unconsciously.
Such a big and luxurious golden pagoda in front of you is just for storing a single hair!
This is too unbelievable, too extravagant!
No matter how rich modern people are, they will not do such meaningless things.
No wonder Fang Yang said just now that only the emperor's family can make 12 of these things.
Yang Tou couldn't help feeling surprised: "If this golden pagoda is sold now, how much will it be worth?"
"Priceless treasure!" The director replied without hesitation, and then said again: "Can Fang Yang tell us about the records you have read before?"
Fang Yang thought for a moment and nodded with a smile: "According to records, when Zhen Huan was thirteen years old, she was married to Yongzheng, who was 26 years old at the time. Her father was a fourth-rank ceremonial officer, and her name was Ling Zhu."
"In the Qing Dynasty, the fourth-rank ceremony was actually the job of the master of ceremonies in the national ceremony, and there was no real power at all."
"Because her father's official position was not high, Zhen Huan was named Gege when she entered the mansion. In the Qing Dynasty, "Gege was not a princess title. It was actually a lowly concubine's title."
"Furthermore, she is actually not good-looking. At that time, as the prince of Yongzheng, I didn't like her at all.
"Until the forty-ninth year of Kangxi, there was a time when Yongzheng had an epidemic, and no one in the mansion dared to approach the servants. Only Zhen Huan, the servants, boiled soup and decocted medicine, and served tea and water."
"After Yongzheng recovered from his illness, he was touched by her. Then he got lucky with her, just this one time, just happened to win the lottery and gave birth to Qianlong."
Except for the experts from the Bureau of Cultural Relics, the others were all dumbfounded.
This is very different from Zhen Huan in their impression.
On TV, Zhen Huan is the kind that everyone loves flowers to see flowers bloom.
After turning into an ordinary woman with no status, no looks, and no merits, the contrast between them is somewhat big.
The director of the cultural relics bureau didn't interrupt, just smiled beside him.
He is naturally clear about this kind of modern history, but after listening to Fang Yang's detailed explanation, his heart is somewhat shaken.
Although he knew that Fang Yang was very powerful, after all, being famous was not as good as meeting him, and only then did he know how terrifying he was.
Fang Yang continued: "When Qianlong was ten years old, he met his grandfather, Emperor Kangxi, in the Old Summer Palace for the first time. When Kangxi saw this grandson, he was not only handsome, but also full of knowledge. That's fine too."
"I looked at Qianlong's fate again, and the more I looked at it, the more I liked it. So he proposed to meet his biological mother. But when he saw Zhen Huan, he saw that she was strong and healthy, and she was absolutely different from ordinary concubines. "
"Kangxi kept praising Zhen Huan as a blessed person. Later, after Yongzheng ascended the throne, he listened to his father Kangxi, so he made Zhen Huan Concubine Xi, and later became Concubine Xi.
"Having said so much, do you feel that this is completely different from the scheming poisonous woman in the TV series?"
"In fact, Zhen Huan in history has ordinary appearance, ordinary family background, and mediocre qualifications. Her importance to Emperor Yongzheng is extremely weak. She has achieved a magnificent turn by relying entirely on her outstanding son, and she completely believes in the saying that mothers are more valuable than sons."
【Qi】+1+1+1+1.
[The TV series misunderstood me. In recent years, in order to cater to the female market, some TV dramas with female protagonists have been bid for. When I watched them, I felt pretty good. But after hearing about the history of the box pass, I suddenly felt unable to look directly at it. 】
【I can imagine how majestic this Zhen Huan looks just from listening to it. I guess it is the kind of body that is fatter and has a particularly good body. This is too embarrassing for the Emperor Zhi, there are a bunch of beauties in his yard, if I am not willing to touch such a style. 】
[So, there are many opportunities in a person's life, but as long as they are seized, they can reach the sky in one step. People can't rely on themselves, but she depends on her son. If there was no immortal to take care of Yongzheng at that time, there would be no glory for her later. Regardless of Qianlong's pros and cons to China, Zhen Huan was successful in this life. 】
[Thinking about that era, I feel sad. I became a concubine at the age of 13, and now, I am still under the protection period of minors. At her age, she had to face living alone in an unfamiliar environment, and after more than ten years, no one cared about her. She seemed to be a real canary, not even a canary. superior. 】
After listening to Fang Yang's explanation, Yang Tou and the others refreshed their impression of Zhen Huan in history.
Although they seldom pay attention to these things, it is still very fascinating to hear interesting historical stories.
The inner curiosity has already been aroused.
Head Yang looked at Fang Yang eagerly: "Later, you haven't mentioned this golden pagoda yet!"
Fang Yang smiled: "Don't worry, a cultural relic is not only its own value, but also a historical document hidden behind it. If we want to understand this golden pagoda, we must first understand Zhen Huan."
"After Qianlong ascended the throne, he was also very filial to his mother. He once took the old lady out forty-two times during her lifetime. When the old lady was in her 60s, Qianlong gave a very big gift, which is today The Summer Palace, its predecessor was called Qingyi Garden!"
“Summer Palace!”
Even Yang Tou and the others are like thunder.
As a Chinese, the famous Yuanmingyuan is a gloomy that everyone can't erase.
As a royal garden of the same level as it, its name is naturally well known.
But what the hell is this Qingyi Garden!
Don't say I've seen it, I haven't heard it.
And it turned out to be the predecessor of the Summer Palace.
This is like elementary school students taking cram lessons and learning some knowledge points.
Fang Yang ignored the crowd, but continued to explain: "When the old queen mother was eighty years old, Qianlong was already sixty years old, and she was still dancing in colorful clothes, only smiling for her mother. In her lifetime, she will try her best to make the old mother a beautiful woman." Cheng Daqing's most convincing empress dowager.
"Zhen Huan lived to be eighty-six years old and was buried in the Western Tomb of the Qing Dynasty after her death."
"Less than a month after the death of the old lady, Qianlong issued an edict to build a golden hair pagoda to enshrine the hair that his mother lost during her lifetime. This is the golden pagoda in front of us.
"The golden hair tower used a total of more than 3,000 taels of gold. It is divided into six layers, and each layer is inlaid with turquoise, cyanite, coral, etc...
"Look here in the middle of the pagoda. There is an Infinite Life Buddha enshrined. If there is no accident, there is a golden box behind the Buddha body, which contains Zhen Huan's hair!"
"this.."
Someone at the scene was eager to reach in and dig out to see if there was the golden box that Fang Yang mentioned.
But he was immediately stopped by the director: "There is no need to open it. I believe in Fang Yang. This golden pagoda has been buried in the soil for too long. If you open it rashly, it will cause problems. You can only open it after you go back."
"That's right!" Fang Yang also nodded in agreement: "The soil and water from the ground permeate into the golden box little by little. If you accidentally open it and lose the hair inside, the soul of this golden pagoda will be lost."
After speaking, he spoke again: "The process of making this blond tower was also very bumpy."
"In just nine months, Qianlong decreed and promulgated more than 20 imperial edicts, and personally participated in the construction of the style of this golden hair tower.
"When the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs showed Qianlong the 1:1 sample, Qianlong was overjoyed on the spot. Follow this model!"
"But here comes the problem. The Amitayus Buddha inside was prepared in advance. The tower was originally designed to be too small to fit in."
"Later, Qianlong issued an edict to make it bigger according to this Buddha of Infinite Life.
"The pressure was immediately put on the Ministry of Internal Affairs. At that time, the gold in the existing palace was not enough. In the end, there was no other way. The gold basin and gold bowl in the Kangshou Palace where Zhen Huan lived
Take all the golden spoons and melt them down to make a blond tower.
"But even this is not enough! So I licked more than 700 taels of silver to purchase gold, and then finished the golden hair tower."
"Filial piety comes first. Qianlong made such a blond pagoda to enshrine his mother's hair in order to express his grief for his mother. In this respect, he is indeed a filial son.
【Qi】+1+1+1+1...
【Tsk tsk... It can be seen from this that Qianlong's prodigal family is really famous. Even when the existing gold in the palace is used up, he still continues to make it, just to make such a sustenance, is it worth it? Could it be that the golden pagoda made of wood cannot be worshiped by 970!]
——[The decline of the Qing Dynasty has a reason. An expert once said that the Han people experienced 2000 years of cultural evolution, but they were unified by a nomadic clan. In other words, if the savages ruled the modern society, wouldn’t they be in decline? In the Qing Dynasty, the only emperor I admired was Yongzheng!]
[Personally, I think that Qianlong's mother should be an honest and kind person. It is because of this good character that she has the blessings in the future. I have seen her portrait, face, wide mouth, big ears, broad and full forehead. Although such a face is not good-looking, it is definitely a blessing. 】
[Blessed people, you don’t need many opportunities, one is enough. But what's the use of being so luxurious, it's not just disappearing. If the things used to commemorate are not herded by sheep, they may be buried under the soil for a lifetime. How many lives could these things save at that time!]
As Fang Yang's explanation ended, the scene fell into deep thought.
Everyone has their own thoughts and answers.
Such a thing, it undoubtedly has a high value of historical relics, say it
It is no exaggeration to be a national treasure.
Everyone who witnessed the birth of the national treasure couldn't help showing joy on their faces.
Especially the relevant personnel of the Bureau of Cultural Relics, they can finally understand how happy their counterparts in Xihai City are every day!
If you live such a day every day, you can wake up with a smile in your dreams.
Thinking of this, the director immediately turned his head and looked at Fang Yang with a smile: "By the way, Fang Yang, are you here as a permanent resident or a temporary stay?"
Before Fang Yang could answer, the photographer next to him said: "One city a day, tonight or tomorrow morning I will go to the next door!"
Hearing this, the director's face changed, and the application was a little lonely, and within two seconds he smiled again and said: "You have only been here for a day, why are you in such a hurry, I will be the host tonight
You guys have a big meal, make sure you eat enough! If you want, the Bureau of Cultural Relics will give you a seat at any time, and you are always welcome here!"
Looking at the enthusiastic director, Fang Yang could only smile awkwardly: "Well... I checked in the morning, and there are more than 600 cities in the country. I have to travel outside for two years before returning to Xihai City. I can't afford it."
"Besides, I also decided to do this under the strong request of the fans. If, I mean, if ha,,, if I was left in Yanjiang City, the netizens might
Rushing here...the consequences will be..."
The director suddenly tightened his chrysanthemum, and his expression was shocked: "Don't, don't! Don't say it, I'm really afraid that the roof of my cultural relics bureau will be demolished by then!"
