Collection of Gods

Chapter 519 National sinner?

Personal collection of national treasure-level cultural relics?
Is the bronze tripod from the Spring and Autumn Period currently on display in the National Museum belonging to Tang Yuan?
Although everyone was unclear about the relationship between this bronze tripod and why Tang Yuan built the Tianmu Taoist Palace, this did not prevent everyone from being sincerely amazed after hearing the news.

How much is a bronze tripod from the Spring and Autumn Period worth?
No one could imagine that the unit of Yiyi could only be regarded as the most basic unit in front of this bronze tripod.

However, such a priceless national treasure-level cultural relic was placed in Tang Yuan's mouth, and it was just a fleeting sentence. This made everyone once again have a clear understanding of Tang Yuan's unfathomable wealth.

"After purchasing this bronze tripod, I hired a professional archaeological team overseas. It turned out that the weight of the bronze tripod was somewhat wrong. After professional evaluation and instrument testing, it was determined that there might be something hidden inside the bronze tripod."

"After several twists and turns, I decided to open the bronze tripod, so I went through formal procedures and hired a team of top archaeological experts from the National Museum to go overseas to help me open the bronze tripod."

"In the end, it took us half a month to successfully open the bronze tripod and take out the contents."

At this point, Tang Yuan turned around and pressed the remote control pen in his hand.

The photo of the bronze tripod on the LED screen disappeared and was replaced by a photo of "mud" on the ground.

"These things that look like silt are what we took out from the bronze tripod." Tang Yuan faced everyone and said with a smile: "In fact, we almost mistook these things for silt. "

"You just saw those mud-like things. They are actually bamboo slips from 2,500 years ago. After a long time and soaking, the internal structure of these bamboo slips collapsed, and the whole body shrank like toothpicks."

"Everyone——"

"In front of me——"

Using technology to restore words from 2,500 years ago, it is most appropriate to describe it as turning decay into magic.

National sinner?

After everyone heard this, they all looked at each other a little bit, feeling that Tang Yuan's words were a bit exaggerated. At the same time, the curiosity in everyone's hearts also became stronger.

Faced with everyone's comments, Tang Yuan smiled faintly, and then pressed the remote control pen in his hand again. The "mud" photos on the ground disappeared. The photos that reappeared in front of everyone were photos of those water-logged bamboo slips after they were restored. .

With the appearance of this photo, Tang Yuan, who was originally speaking in a straightforward manner, gradually began to speak louder.

"The photos you see are the words that were carved on the bamboo slips more than 2,500 years ago after restoration."

"To this end, I specially invited Wu Shunqing, the world's top expert in the protection of unearthed water-saturated cultural relics at the Jingzhou Cultural Preservation Center in Beihu Province. He led his team to repair and restore these water-logged bamboo slips."

"Fortunately among the misfortunes, we did not rashly dump these things into the trash can as mud, otherwise I, Tang Yuan, would have become a sinner of the Chinese nation."

"After careful inventory, we found that there were 1573 water-filled bamboo slips in the bronze tripod, and the contents recorded on them were the complete version of the Tao Te Ching!"

"Do you know what the writing on these bamboo slips is?"

The discussion among the people at the scene became a little louder again.

Lines of gold inscriptions, spanning two thousand and five hundred years, were displayed before everyone's eyes.

While Tang Yuan was asking and answering himself, he quietly pressed the remote pen with his right hand again. The photos on the LED screen remained unchanged, but lines of small words appeared next to the restored bamboo slips.

The heaven and the earth are unkind, treating all things as stupid dogs, clinging to them and overflowing with them, not as good as themselves, being favored and humiliated as if they were frightened, being treated as precious and serious as if they were in trouble, and the Tao is always doing nothing but doing everything...

Lines of simplified Chinese characters correspond to the bronze inscriptions on the bamboo slips next to them. At this moment, various exclamations sounded one after another.

"My dear, the complete version of the "Tao Te Ching" from the Spring and Autumn Period seems to be the earliest complete version of the "Tao Te Ching" unearthed in our country, the silk script A and B from the Han Dynasty!"

"Made, Tang Yuan is simply a child of luck. He can open a blind box casually and find out the entire Tao Te Ching from the Spring and Autumn Period. This is simply outrageous!"

"Could it be that Tang Yuan came up with the idea of ​​building the Tianmu Taoist Palace because he discovered the complete copy of the Tao Te Ching from the Spring and Autumn Period? The gimmick is indeed there, but it just doesn't feel like much!"

"How much is the complete copy of the "Tao Te Ching" from the Spring and Autumn Period worth? Based on this, Tang Yuan is definitely making money with his blood!"

"Shhhhhh, don't make any noise, I feel like Tang Yuan still has something to say!"

……

These noises go away as quickly as they come.

When everyone saw that Tang Yuan still had something to say, they had to suppress their inner desire to talk for the time being, wanting to see what surprises Tang Yuan had waiting for them here.

"After restoring some of the water-logged bamboo slips, we thought these bamboo slips were copies of the Tao Te Ching from the Spring and Autumn Period."

"Until-"

"We restored this water-logged bamboo slip!"

The LED screen flashed, and the large number of water-logged bamboo slips just disappeared. This time, there was only one water-logged bamboo slip in front of everyone, and there were only three characters on this water-logged bamboo slip.

Facing the eyes of everyone with doubts, curiosity, expectations and other complex emotions, Tang Yuan silently pressed the remote control pen in his hand, and saw three words slowly appearing next to the water-logged bamboo slip - Written by Li Dan!

"According to the joint inference of many senior archaeological experts, the water-filled bamboo slips I found inside the bronze tripod are most likely the authentic works of Taoist ancestor Laozi."

Tang Yuan took a deep breath and finally chose to announce the news to the public.

In an instant, the whole place was boiling.

There is absolutely no comparison between the copy of the Tao Te Ching in the Spring and Autumn Period and the original work of the Taoist founder Lao Tzu.

Now everyone finally understands why Tang Yuan said that if he had dumped these things into the trash can at that time, then he would be a national sinner. He was indeed not exaggerating.

If the copy of the "Tao Te Ching" from the Spring and Autumn Period can still be described as a national treasure, then the authentic copy of the "Tao Te Ching" written by the Taoist ancestor Lao Tzu is already a cultural treasure level existence, with its symbolic, cultural and historical significance. , the spiritual significance is simply difficult to estimate.

Unless the "Yongle Dadian", known as the Chinese Encyclopedia, is completely excavated one day, there will be no classics that can surpass the status of the original "Tao Te Ching" among classics and historical relics.

None of the reporters in the audience expected that just being invited to attend a signing ceremony would actually receive such shocking news that could be called a nuclear explosion.

Worth it!

Too much value!
