    Under the illumination of candlelight, the four sides of the lampshade showed the figures of four women in palace attire. They seemed to be standing or lying in different postures.  However, this scene did not make everyone feel strange, because if there were paper cutouts of palace maids pasted inside, such a scene would also appear.  But obviously when we moved the lanterns just now, we didn¡¯t see any paper-cuts inside. So what¡¯s going on?  Just when Wu Ke and the others felt strange, a shocking scene appeared in front of them. As the revolving lantern began to rotate due to the heat, the palace ladies actually began to dance.  The palace maid in the east had her head buried under her long sleeves. When the revolving lantern began to rotate inside, she seemed to hear music. The sleeves suddenly opened, as if her charming face was revealed to everyone.  In front of her eyes, she then took a few steps back, spinning quickly in a circle, and the water sleeves danced with her, slowly flying up while spinning, freezing in the air, like a fairy, and enchanted everyone.  The palace maid from the south dances, as agile as a flying lute holding a pipa, as elegant as the illusory smoke, as elegant as a fairy with lotuses growing step by step, singing and dancing, really dancing to clear the shadows, how can it be like being in the human world!  The beautiful dancing posture of the Western palace maids is as graceful as the gossamer in the sky, as gentle as the willows in the spring breeze, which makes people mesmerized.  And the palace maid in the north dances, flying like a beautiful butterfly, twisting like a graceful wicker, her beauty is intoxicating.  At this moment, Chu Chen and the others were in the illusion in front of them, as if there were really four palace ladies.  It feels like showing off their graceful dancing in front of everyone.  I don¡¯t even know what language should be used to describe it.  All I can say is this.  It's so amazing.  "What kind of lamp is this? How could it be so magical?" Wu Ke murmured with a look of surprise and fascination on his face.  "It is indeed magical!" Chu Chen nodded without hesitation and agreed: "As for the name of this lamp, I have already guessed it. It should be the legendary Moon Shadow Lamp." Wu Ke was surprised when he heard this: "It is the legendary moon shadow lamp.  The moon shadow lamp invented by Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty?"  Legend has it that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty personally conquered Tuyuhun. Since he was thousands of miles away from Kyoto at that time, he was inevitably lonely and melancholy.  So I looked up at the sky alone, looking up at the moon and thinking about the city. At this time, there was a palace maid dancing beside me.  When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty saw this, he was moved, so he ordered his ministers to make shadow lanterns for two months, requiring that when the candle lanterns were lit, there should be shadows of the palace maids dancing and playing on the walls of the tent.  Finally, after research, the craftsmen invented the moon shadow lamp.     certainly.  These are just legends. This technology has been lost for a long time, and no treasures have been handed down. No one knows what the moon shadow lamp looks like.  ??In fact, Chu Chen doesn¡¯t need to say it.  Based on the sight in front of him, Wu Ke also guessed that this should be the legendary Moon Shadow Lantern.  She said in amazement: "I didn't expect that there really is a moon shadow lantern, and I think it is even more magical than the legendary moon shadow lantern. Eh. That's not right" At this time, Wu Ke thought of a question and said a little strangely: "Isn't that  The moon shadow lamp has a special patch on the lampshade. When this lamp is turned on, the moon shadow wonder will appear. But this moon shadow lamp is obviously not like this! " Chu Chen said with a smile.  This is not surprising. After all, we have never seen a real Yueying lamp before. No one can give a definite answer as to whether the magical effect is caused by the patch. Moreover, our Yueying lamp may also be from the Ming Dynasty.  The craftsmen at that time made it based on their own experience." Wu Ke nodded and said that it was indeed possible. Then, she looked at the palace maid repeating the previous dance movements over and over again on the lampshade, and said in surprise: "The ancients  I don¡¯t know how my head grew. Under the conditions at that time, I was able to make such a magical thing. It¡¯s really amazing! By the way, Achen, do you know how this is done?  ?¡± Chu Chen shook his head: ¡°I really don¡¯t know the specific reason. I guess it¡¯s probably because the layers of paper that look somewhat transparent combine to form a special refraction environment, so that the candlelight shines on it.  , through the refraction of the lines on the paper, the phenomenon we see is formed." After hearing Chu Chen's explanation, Wu Ke was even more surprised: "No, you said all this is because of the paper.  "You can see for yourself." Chu Chen smiled slightly, then moved a stool and asked Wu Ke to stand on it and see what was going on inside the lamp.  "It's really true!" After seeing it, Wu Ke said in surprise: "This is too strange. Apart from looking a little transparent, those pieces of paper have nothing special about them. How could such a magical phenomenon be formed?"??  "Chu Chen shrugged his shoulders: "I guess this will only allow scientific researchers to know the reason after research.  Hearing this, Wu Ke said like a treasure: "I think we should wait until we have seen enough before we do research or something."  Otherwise, if someone breaks something while studying it, they won't have a chance to see it.  " Chu Chen said with a smile: "They are not Ma Daha, how could they break things so easily.  But don't worry, as long as you don't think it's time, I will definitely not take the thing for research.  " After hearing this, Wu Ke smiled and looked at Chu Chen with tenderness in his eyes. At this time, Zuo Shan interjected: "When I was moving the lantern just now, I also saw those papers. They were so thin.  Can paper be made using ancient technology?  ". Chu Chen said with a smile: "It is indeed incredible to make such paper with ancient technology, but it is not possible to say that it cannot be made.  For example, the papers invented in the early days, such as wadding paper, Baqiao paper, Juyan paper, Luobu Nur paper, Hantanpo paper, Caihou paper, etc., you have probably never heard of these papers.  This is still recorded, and there are even more unrecorded ones.  ¡± The culture of paper in our country has a long history, and there are many famous papers in the past. Due to the long history and the limited quantity produced at that time, coupled with the technical blockade, many papers have not been handed down, including some special papers. For example, the famous Chengxintang paper  . Since the development of the paper industry in the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, papermaking raw materials and production technology have made great breakthroughs and developments, and many fine products have emerged, which have become works of art that can be viewed and collected. In the Ming Dynasty, the products produced at that time have been greatly improved.  "Xuande Tribute Paper" is more sophisticated in its production skills. There are many varieties of this kind of processed paper, such as five-color pink paper, gold flower five-color paper, five-color curtain paper, porcelain blue paper, etc. The Ming Dynasty also imitated the "Xue Tao" paper of the Tang Dynasty.  "Jian" and "Jin Su Shan Jing Jian" of the Song Dynasty. This kind of imitation paper is added with mica powder, and the surface of the paper reveals bright and dazzling particles. This is an innovation of the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, there was also a kind of gold-sprinkled paper that was also famous for a while. Chu Chen continued  Said: ¡°In addition, since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there has been a new type of processed paper called calendered paper.  The paper is made of fine and tough leather paper, which can be thick or thin. The patterns are mostly landscapes, flowers and birds, fish and insects, dragons and phoenixes, cloud patterns or water patterns, as well as characters, stories or words.  This paper shows a beautiful dark pattern when viewed through light.  " Hearing this, Wu Ke let out a light sigh: "Hey!  This kind of calendered paper and the special paper inside feel a bit similar.  "    "Yes.  Chu Chen nodded and said, "So, the wisdom of the ancients cannot be imagined by our imagination."  In addition, our country has thousands of years of papermaking experience and technological accumulation, and it is possible to develop some special papers with magical effects that make people feel incredible.  "    "Yes.  "Everyone agrees with Chu Chen's statement. "Achen, how much is this moon shadow lantern worth?  "Wu Ke asked a question that she was most concerned about now. Chu Chen replied with a smile: "This is really hard to say, but it is priceless in my heart.  "Wu Ke said: "There will be times when you can't estimate the price.  ¡± ¡°It¡¯s normal for something like this to be unique, so you can¡¯t estimate the price.  " Chu Chen said with a smile: "The value of antiques is to pay attention to the value of rare things. In addition, it is also a matter of personal preference.  For example, the market price of a gold-standard half-dollar silver coin is about 700,000. From an investment perspective, I would buy it, but based on my personal preference, 700,000 is even one cent more.  I won't even buy it.  " "Of course, this is an exaggeration, but the truth is this. Because I have no hobby of collecting silver coins, the psychological price is very low, and as long as it is a little higher, I will not buy it.  But if it is something I like, such as this moon shadow lamp, the psychological price is set high, and it is flexible. If there is competition, the result will not be certain.  ¡± Because of this, it is still difficult to appraise antiques, because you don¡¯t know how much the owner loves things. If the estimate is higher than the purchase price, it¡¯s okay. If the estimate is lower, the owner will feel uncomfortable.  If you encounter a narrow-minded owner, he will probably show off to you. After hearing Chu Chen¡¯s words, Wu Ke stopped insisting on the estimate, and said with a smile: ¡°It must be more than 600,000 yuan anyway.  " "That's for sure.  Chu Chen also smiled and said: "If it is doubled at least ten times, there should be many people flocking to it."  " Something bought for 600,000 yuan can be multiplied ten times by changing hands. It is not unreasonable to say that it is amazing. However, several people present have become numb because of Chu Chen's past magical performance, and the moon shadow lamp also has such a magical effect, let alone  six hundred??, even if Chu Chen said tens of millions, they wouldn't be surprised.  Wu Ke smiled happily and said: "This is mainly because you are lucky. If Lu Shuanniu and his family thought of giving it a try before, it is probably not your turn." (To be continued) Chapter 991 Moon Shadow Lantern?  :
