    After explaining the characteristics of this beeswax Buddha statue, Chu Chen finally said: "So, I think this Buddha statue should have been carved during the Yongle period." "Papa" After listening to Chu Chen's explanation,  The three capitals all clapped their hands in unison, and Zhu Dafu said with a smile: "Xiao Chen, I don't know how your brain grows. Fortunately, I only meet one person like you. If there are more,  I have no choice but to retire!" Upon hearing this, Chu Chen quickly smiled and waved his hands, and said modestly: "Uncle Fu, you are getting stronger and stronger now, and there is no time to retire! Besides, I still have a lot to give to you!  Studying!" Meng Yi first said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, don't be humble. I think many experts now are not as good as you!" Chu Chen scratched his head and said with a bitter smile: "You are trying to kill me.  ¡± Everyone laughed, and then after Meng Yi saw the Buddha statue first, he laughed and said: ¡°Nian Dashu is really good, he actually took the real thing as fake, and the fake thing as real, it¡¯s really not good.  "Damn the title of 'Dasha'!" "Xiao Meng, why did Dasha get this nickname this year?" Zhu Dafu asked curiously.  ¡°When I think about it, I feel it¡¯s funny now¡­¡± Meng Yi smiled and briefly told everyone about Nian Dashu¡¯s story.  When everyone heard that this was the case, they were all dumbfounded. It was really strange to be able to say such things at that time.  "By the way, Xiao Chen, how did you think of accepting this wooden statue?" After laughing, Zhu Dafu turned his attention to the statue that Chu Chen just bought.  Chu Chen smiled slightly and said, "At first, I thought this wooden statue was a bit extraordinary." "How do you say this?" Meng Yi felt a little strange about Chu Chen's statement.  Because the material used in this statue has nothing to do with the word "extraordinary".  Chu Chen explained: "First of all, this wooden statue was treated with lacquer and gilding. Also, take a look at its carving." "Carving?" Everyone heard this.  They quickly stepped forward and observed it carefully. The more they looked at it, the more surprised they became. Finally, they all had puzzled looks on their faces.  "It's really strange. Why can't such a good carver choose a better piece of wood?" Qiao Qingtai murmured.  "Yes, and who is the craftsman represented by the wooden statue?" Meng Yixian also frowned and asked.  Zhu Dafu, who turned to the back of the statue, suddenly said loudly: "Come and take a look, there is a poem engraved here!" Meng Yixian's Qiao Qingtai hurriedly came up and saw that there were indeed words engraved on the back of the statue.  It's just that because of its age and some dirt on the handwriting, it's hard to see clearly except for a few handwritings.  At this time, Chu Chen brought a basin of water, found a piece of cloth, dipped it in the water, and wiped it gently. After a while, the handwriting appeared.  "Please talk about the copper stove. Cui Wei looks like Nanshan. The upper branches are like pines and cypresses, and the lower branches are like copper plates. The carvings are of different types, and they are connected with each other." After reading the end, Qiao Qingtai said in surprise: "This is not the introduction of the Boshan stove in the Han Dynasty.  It's a passage from "Sit Four and Stop Noisy"! Could this craftsman be Lu Ban? "The reason why he said this.  It is also because behind this verse, there is another sentence: "Who can use this weapon, Gongshu and Luban."  It is generally believed that Gongshu and Luban are the same person.  That's why he asked.  Zhu Dafu directly denied it: "It's not like you haven't seen the image of Lu Ban before. How could this be Lu Ban?" Meng Qiao Qingtai thought for a while.  He also felt that the character it represented was not Lu Ban, so he asked: "Is this person Gongshu?" "Aren't Gongshu and Lu Ban the same person!" Meng Yi said first.  Qiao Qingtai spread his hands and said: "Didn't some people say that Gongshu and Lu Ban are not the same person? Besides, if they are really the same person, why would Gongshu and Lu Ban be separated in the poem?" Zhu Dafu laughed and said: "This kind of question  We don¡¯t need to discuss it. Don¡¯t you think this man¡¯s clothing should be in the style of the Han Dynasty? Even if Gongshu and Lu Ban were not the same person, they wouldn¡¯t be wearing this kind of clothing, right? Besides, if this statue really represents the middle of the two people, right?  If there is one, why are the following verses not engraved? " Meng Yixian murmured: "That's right, then who is this person? What kind of skilled craftsman was there in the Han Dynasty" Just when Meng Yixian said this, Zhu Dafu  He turned around and asked Chu Chen: "Xiao Chen, is there anything special about this statue?" "Aren't the two points I mentioned not special?" Chu Chen asked with a smile.  Zhu Dafu also smiled and said: "You kid, you just can't see the rabbit.""Eagle, I don't believe you would buy this statue if it didn't have something special about it."  " Chu Chen shook his head and said: "To be honest, I really bought this thing for research purposes at the beginning, but then I really discovered a strange place.  " "What's weird?  "The three people asked in unison. Chu Chen said: "The weight of the statue is wrong!  " "The weight is wrong?  " Hearing what Chu Chen said, Meng Yi quickly stepped forward and hugged the wooden statue, and then said: "The weight is about the same, I don't think it's wrong!  " Chu Chen said with a smile: "But don't forget, this wooden statue is very old. In terms of the age of the material and the carving craftsmanship, it should have been made in the early Ming Dynasty. After such a long time,  How could the wood still weigh the same?  " Under normal circumstances, if the wood is stored for a long time, the weight will definitely be lighter. Therefore, after hearing what Chu Chen said, everyone immediately realized the problem. Zhu Dafu's brain reacted quickly, and he quickly asked: "Little  Chen, what do you mean to say, is there something hidden in this statue?  " Chu Chen nodded: "I think it should be like this. As for whether it is right or not, you have to watch it before you know.  " Among the four people at the scene, Qiao Qingtai was the most anxious. He said, "I looked around just now. Apart from the naturally occurring cracks, there are no artificial traces. What should I do now, break it open?  " Zhu Dafu said angrily: "Why do you always come up with bad ideas? It's a pity for such a good statue to be smashed like this. Don't you think it's a pity? I still think it's a pity!  " Qiao Qingtai was a little embarrassed when he heard this. He smiled and asked: "What should I do?  " Zhu Dafu said: "Stupid, have you ever seen the base of the statue?  "    "Yeah!  I almost forgot about it" Seeing Qiao Qingtai's suddenly enlightened look, Chu Chen chuckled and carefully put the statue down on the ground. However, the bottom of the statue was full of dirt, and it was impossible to see what was underneath, so Chu Chen  I started cleaning again, but the dirt was gone, but a layer of black paint was revealed again. ¡°It¡¯s fun!  ¡± Seeing this situation, everyone showed a look of surprise, because they felt that under normal circumstances, there is no need to paint the bottom with black paint. This clearly smells like there is no silver 300 taels in this place. Sure enough, wait for Chu  After Chen scraped off the layer of black paint with a knife, a square gap was immediately revealed. Seeing that there might indeed be something in the statue, Zhu Dafu and others were extremely excited, but this statue was.  There was no mechanism similar to the "Duzhongtang". The wooden board in the middle was stuck with something like glue. This was very painful for Chu Chen, so he could only use a knife to cut it open bit by bit along the gaps.  Because he was afraid of hurting the statue, Chu Chen didn't dare to use too much force. He just scratched it for a while, and then the wooden board in the middle became a little loose. Then Chu Chen tilted the knife slightly, and only heard a "pop" sound, and the wooden board fell off.  Everyone hurriedly looked inside. The first thing they saw was some unknown stuffing. It looked like something like hay. After cleaning these things, Chu Chen took out one from inside.  The thing wrapped in ancient kraft paper looked quite small, with a height of more than forty centimeters. Seeing this, Qiao Qingtai couldn't wait to say: "Xiao Chu, open it quickly and see what's inside."  What is it?  " Zhu Dafu said angrily: "Why are you so anxious? How can you be anxious at this time? What if you accidentally mess with something inside?  " Qiao Qingtai also thought that since it was such a well-hidden thing, it was probably a treasure. If the thing was damaged because of his words, he would be really embarrassed, so he quickly explained with some embarrassment: "Xiao Chen,  I'm just too impatient, don't take it to heart!  "Chu Chen smiled and shook his head, saying it didn't matter. Then, he slowly cleaned up the kraft paper, and the contents inside were immediately revealed. "The thing was like a bean, with the whole body covered with gold, on a round copper plate.  In the center, there is a straight handle that supports the furnace body. The upper part is an upward hemispherical shape. The upper part is in the shape of a pointed cone with many small holes for smoke. The upper part is decorated with exquisite carvings, including peaks and birds.  The beast figure appears in the forest. It is a Boshan furnace. Although it is only a Boshan furnace, the gold inlay throughout the body shows its extraordinary features. It is even more rare that the inlaid gold is basically intact.  Just when everyone wanted to step forward to take a closer look, Meng Yi first exclaimed: "I know!  The person represented by this craftsman should be HanDing Huan!  " The Boshan furnace of the Han Dynasty is difficult to make because of its exquisite craftsmanship. It is not something that ordinary craftsmen can do. Therefore, ancient craftsmen are used in ancient poems to describe contemporary craftsmen, saying: "Whoever can make this device will be given to Lu Ban!  "In fact, the name of one of the famous furnace makers in the Han Dynasty has been passed down, that is, Ding Su, a skillful craftsman in Chang'an. According to the record of Ding Su in "Xijing Miscellaneous Notes": "He is always full of lanterns, seven dragons and five phoenixes, and it is difficult to make hibiscus.  The wonders of the lotus root are also used as a mattress incense burner. One of the incense burners was caught in the quilt. Originally, the wind in the room was expelled, and its method was eliminated later. When it became slow, it was replaced It was also made into a nine-story Boshan incense burner, with carvings of strange birds and monsters.  Supernatural, all natural movements" (To be continued)
