Chapter 86 Decisive Battle at White Horse Temple (15)
If Hanlinzhai's screen makes people breathe, as Baolinzhai's guy opens all the silk cloth... the people around him have no sound of gasping for air conditioning.
More than 7,000 eminent monks from India were listening to Tang Sanzang preaching Buddhism. Although there were many people, these eminent monks not only had different appearances, but also had very different expressions. Some smiled, some were thinking with their eyes closed, some were shaking their heads and sighing, and some were surprised and admiring. Originally, Wang Hua used the technique of post-yellowing yellow, and the soft light of the lanterns came from behind, and the sound of copper bells hanging on the relics of Sakyamuni Tathagata blew with the night wind.
A kind of desolation!
A kind of ancient and clumsy!
A great Buddhist compassion!
It was like a gust of wind, rushing towards me.
It was too late to appreciate it. The following was more than 100 lacquer paintings and inscriptions that Wang Hua had spent a lot of effort. The people around him wanted to cry and kneel down when they saw it. In fact, at this time, Manager He understood why Wang Hua chose to go to Baima Temple and also compete with Hanlinzhai at night. He used to be amazed at the workmanship of this lacquer sculpture, but under the light of this lantern and in the sound of this copper ringtone, even after seeing this lacquer sculpture, he was shocked again in his heart.
No wonder Wang Hua repeatedly talks about soul, no wonder Gu Kai’s Buddhist painting can make the incense money worth millions in a few days!
It took a long time before the host and the abbot of the White Horse Temple woke up. They walked to the lacquer sculpture and sat cross-legged on the ground, holding Buddhist beads in their hands, and chanting them continuously.
Seeing them sitting cross-legged on the ground, people began to kneel on the ground and worship the lacquer sculpture. It was like a gust of wind, gradually spreading backwards, and waves of people coming to watch were kneeling on the ground. In fact, the people behind didn't know what was going on. They only heard someone in front of them saying that the competition had begun, but they didn't even see a single lacquer hair. Now they finally saw that on the platform in the middle of the gap, there were two lacquerware, shining with light. It would definitely shine. Tens of millions of dollars were piled up into two lacquerware, wasting countless gold, silver and jewelry. It would be strange if they didn't shine. But there was no way to see what it looked like.
But everyone is kneeling down. What happened? I will kneel down too.
Suddenly, I don’t know if there were tens of thousands of people or hundreds of thousands of people, but I knelt down.
In fact, when it reaches this point, there is no need to comment and you will know the result.
Hanlinzhai and the people from some workshops they joined with were all looking like earth. They spent a lot of money to make this screen famous, not only did they spend much manual effort and energy! However, in the end they became a foil for others!
Because Wu Zetian also believed in Buddhism, after seeing this lacquerware, she liked it even more and said repeatedly: "This Wang Erlang, Mr. Du, praised him for his talent and knowledge in the world, but his talent in the artifacts is more than two dou, and eight dou is more than enough."
But at this time, Ji Xu said untimely, "What's the use? It's just a Yu Wen Kai."
After hearing his words, Wu Zetian and others all changed their qualities.
Yuwen Kai, a minister of the Sui Dynasty, was the most famous architect in ancient China. He once built famous buildings such as Renshou Palace and Fengxing Hall for the Sui Dynasty, but the most famous one was Daxing City. This is the first city in world history. Some people have calculated the area of ten ancient cities in the world: Daxing City of the Sui Dynasty (Chang'an City of Tang Dynasty), with an area of 84.1 square kilometers; Luoyang City of the Northern Wei Dynasty, with an area of about 73 square kilometers; Beijing City of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with an area of 60.2 square kilometers; Dadu of the Yuan Dynasty, with an area of 50 square kilometers.
Li; Tokyo (Luoyang City) in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, with an area of 45.2 square kilometers; Nanjing (Ming Dynasty), with an area of 43 square kilometers; Chang'an (Inner City), with an area of 35 square kilometers; Baghdad, with an area of 30.44 square kilometers; Rome, with an area of 13.68 square kilometers; Byzantium, with an area of 11.99 square kilometers. From the above list, we can see that the scale of ancient Chinese cities is unparalleled in the world, and Daxing City ranks first, and can be called the world's first city.
Of course there is another alternative, that is, Kaifeng, the Northern Song Dynasty. But the construction of Kaifeng was unreasonable. Because except for Song Huizong, a prodigal son, the Northern Song Dynasty was a thrifty emperor. If he did not deliberately build cities, he often could not live in the inner city. He developed outside the city and developed to a certain extent, and then built another city wall. By the time the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed, it became three cities. It was still developing outward, so Kaifeng was the most irregular and could not be calculated.
The appearance of Yuwen Kai was a grand event in the history of Chinese architecture. However, under his command, the Sui Yang developed a palace city, dug rivers and canals, and the urging of the court and his cruelty, in order to rush to rush the project, five or six out of ten people died, accelerating the demise of the Sui Dynasty.
This is a bit heartbroken. It is just a lacquerware, and it does not use a penny in the treasury. For example, Zhang Yizhi spent millions on the banquet that day. Ji Xu's statement was a bit too much.
In fact, Ji Xu was also kind-hearted and did not want Wang Hua to get lost in these lustful tricks. Studying and becoming an official is the right way. Moreover, Wang Hua was in charge of the army, and the fight between these two families has invisibly led to the exaggeration of society, which is not a good thing.
In fact, Wu Zetian knew it, and she waved to Wang Hua again.
Wang Hua walked over and asked carefully: "My Majesty, what are your instructions?"
Wu Zetian blamed: "Why do you lead the world with a boastful and luxurious style of your age if you don't study hard? Could it be that our dynasty also learns from the Western Jin Dynasty?"
Wang Hua thought, isn’t this wronged me? Look, the Zhang brothers, Princess Taiping, the cost of those mansions is not calculated in billions of dollars, and it is also calculated in tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver. Not to mention that your mistress, Master Huaiyi, burned Mingtang with fire, the loss that time was probably more than one billion. I made a lacquerware, which turned the Tang Dynasty into the Western Jin Dynasty?
But he dared not understand. He replied: "Your Majesty, these things are just small paths, but if the great path goes on a wrong path, it will also harm others and yourself. If the small path gives it meaning, it will also have enlightening meaning to the people. Your Majesty, please see."
As he said that, he brought Wu Zetian to the front of the lacquerware and looked at the inscription. The small flower was still embroidered under the inscription. After Wu Zetian looked at it, he thought about it and understood Wang Hua's meaning. He turned anger into joy again and said, "What a small flower."
Even Jixu couldn't say anything.
After Wu Zetian finished reading it, he knew it without commenting and went back happily. After they left, the people dared to surround him and watch it, especially the lacquer sculptures painted by Wang. In addition to the statues of the figures, there were also inscriptions, more than 100 pictures and inscriptions, and there was no way to appreciate it if they were not close.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Wang Hua held Xiao Honghong's hand, and it was time to leave.
At this time, the moon was white and the night wind was officially beginning to cool down!
ps: This volume ends here. In the next twenty days, we will continue to work with everyone in the public version. As for this volume that made some friends dissatisfied, I apologize again, but think about it, I can’t really get 400,000 to 500,000 words before it is released? Understand each other. In the future, I will maintain two updates, and sometimes I will get three updates.
Chapter completed!
