"If you don't care about the material, the first thing is to use the word "play" to give objects patina and spirituality through the hand. A string of new cultural relics and old objects will be very different...

Zhao Hongtao looked at Fang Yi and others and said, "For example, two strings of the same beads were played with for ten years, while the other string was left for ten years. Which string of beads are more valuable?"

"Of course, the price of beads that have been playing with for ten years is high..." The fat man answered first.

“It’s right…”

Zhao Hongtao nodded and continued, "Not only that, the patina and color change effects of cultural relics are also different when playing with cultural relics for ten hours and one hour a day. So I said cultural relics focus on the word "play". Can you understand now?"

"It can be understood, but why do people who play arts play play play beads every day?" The fat man asked in confusion. In his impression, it seemed that only monks like the old Taoist priests and Fang Yi would play with beads when chanting scriptures.

"Little fat man, playing with cultural relics is a kind of sentiment..."

When Zhao Hongtao heard the fat man's words, he couldn't help but be happy and said with a smile: "Let's just talk about this bead. By rubbing and twisting the beads, people can calm down and cultivate their sentiments. When seeing the beads gradually patina on their hands and become more beautiful, they will feel a sense of psychological satisfaction..."

People who play with beads have a saying that I will tell you, that is, 'With the hand twisting of Bodhi is like chanting sutras, with nothing in your eyes and ears empty. I work hard not to become a Buddha, but only to make Bodhi red sooner'. Do you understand the meaning of these sentences?"

"I don't understand!" The fat man and Sanpao shook their heads at the same time, and both looked at Fang Yi. Fang Yi is a professional who is related to Buddhism and Taoism.

"This sentence should be a satirizing of a fake monk and a fake Taoist priest?"

Fang Yi smiled and said, "To understand these words from the perspective of Buddhahood, it means that he is twisting a rosary in his hand, as if he is chanting sutras and practicing Buddha's name. In fact, the Buddha's teachings are not read into his heart and heard them, but just pretending to behave. He worked hard not to become a Buddha, but to gain fame and fortune..."

Speaking of this, Fang Yi paused, looked at Zhao Hongtao, and said, "Since Brother Zhao is talking about cultural relics, it should have different meanings, right?"

"Well, this sentence is actually about cultural and entertainment players..."

Zhao Hongtao nodded and said, "No matter which kind of Bodhis it is, it will turn red in the end. The meaning of these sentences is that those who play Bodhis all day long are not practicing Taoism and asking Buddha, but just wanting to turn their beads red..."

The greatest charm of cultural relics is that through their own play, the bead patina changes color. This process will bring players an indescribable sense of satisfaction. Almost people who like cultural relics often talk about these words.

"Brother Zhao, we understand..." Fatty and Sanpao said. They had never played cultural relics and naturally did not understand the psychological changes before.

"I think you still don't understand..."

Zhao Hongtao smiled and shook his head, saying, "Fang Yi, I see that there are a lot of things on your stall. Why don't you guys wear a few strings to play with? Only by playing with it yourself and experiencing that change can you truly understand cultural relics..."

"Fang Yi played a bunch of things, but we brothers didn't understand..." After hearing Zhao Hongtao's words, the fat man and Sanpao looked at each other, and it turned out that they were going to play in cultural and entertainment business.

"Okay, the first lesson I will teach you today is to each of you play with a string of Vajra Bodhi, a string of Star and Moon Bodhi, and use a pen to record the changes they have occurred every three days. This is what I have done for you..."

Zhao Hongtao initially just liked literary miscellaneous things, but when he played with the first series of Star Moon Bodhi until the patina changed color, Zhao Hongtao fell in love with this process and studied it in depth. Until now, he still kept the series of Star Moon that had been already opened, which had been hanging around his neck.

"I didn't expect there were so many tricks in cultural relics? I also wore a few strings on my body..."

Man Jun was fascinated by listening to Zhao Hongtao's talk about cultural relics. Although he also did cultural relics when he entered the industry, he was a blind man touching an elephant and no one taught him. He didn't know that there was so much knowledge in cultural relics.

"I'll tell you about the play and maintenance of Bodhizi..."

Although there are many people playing cultural relics in Jinling, Zhao Hongtao is busy with work and his identity is there. He doesn’t have many opportunities to communicate with people. After drinking some wine today, he was very happy and explained it to Fang Yi and others.

"Vajra depends on brushing. At first, it was a seven-minute three-minute plate. You must brush all the gaps in the serrated teeth of the Vajra Bodhi, otherwise it will be easy to hide dirt and dirt. After the patina is pated, you will never be able to brush it again. Remember, Vajra must brush hard..."

As for the Star Moon Bodhi, it mainly depends on the plate. You can twist it one by one with your hands, or you can rub it with your hands. There is a rumor in the art. Do you want to listen to it?"

"I want to hear it!" All the people, including Man Jun, lit their heads like chickens pecking at them.

"Okay, then you remember it. This rumor basically covers a lot of things you can play with..."

Zhao Hongtao pondered for a moment, pointed at the coffee table in front of him with his fingers, and said:

"Pull the star and the moon, brush the King Kong, and olives on your wrist will be covered with pulp.

Rub dense wax, pick pineapple, Nanhong or Baoshanqiang

Small phoenix eyes, big teeth, coconut shells should be thick if they want to be strong

Playing with tortoiseshell, blood tridacna, Bodhi root turns into elephant skin

Red rosewood, golden nanmu, only playing with Venus small leaf sandalwood

Blood Dragon Wood, Emperor Wood, the King of Wood is Haihuang

Playing with gourds, raising croaking insects, making you feel warm in your arms

Playing with walnuts, you have to see the truth, the yellow tip and white skin hurt your heart

One red and the other yellow, it's better to smash it and listen to it

Looking for the fan bone and the fan face, I am actually illiterate

All kinds of bones and teeth, their families are very sad

Red Coral, Sleeping Beauty, is more elegant in combination

Plan amber, look for blue light, hornbill red and yellow on top of the head…”

If there are talented people in every industry, this rumor summarized by someone who has included the most common Bodhi seeds, beeswax, turquoise, ivory, tortoiseshell, giant clams and other species in literary play. And the description is extremely vivid, so people can understand it at first glance.

However, the guy who made up the rumor should be an animal protector, because the sentence "All kinds of bones and teeth, their families are very sad" refers to objects such as ivory, tiger bones, and rhino horns.

Since these animals are included in the category of protected animals, it is illegal to buy and sell privately, so most of this type of cultural relics are old things passed down, with relatively high prices and are among high-end cultural relics.

"Learn to learn, it's really long to learn..."

After Zhao Hongtao recited this rumor in one breath, it took a while before Man Jun applauded. He was different from Fang Yi and others. He had been in contact with cultural relics before, so when he heard this rumor, he had a more intuitive impression in his mind.

"Okay, you guys can digest these first..." Zhao Hongtao laughed and looked at Old Sun and said, "Teacher, it's not too late this day, why don't we be here today?"

Gu Guoguang was arrested, which was a big deal in the museum. He would definitely have a meeting to study tomorrow morning. In addition, Zhao Hongtao also had to check Fang Yi's further study and certification, so he also wanted to go back and rest early today.

"Okay, that's all for today..." Sun Lianda nodded, looked at Man Jun and said, "Xiaoman, I'll come here to have dinner tomorrow. After dinner, I will take Fang Yi back to study. I wonder if you are welcome?"

"Oh, look at what Mr. Sun said, I open the middle door to welcome you..." When Mr. Sun said, Man Jun was overjoyed. Not to mention a meal, even if Mr. Sun had eaten at his house for several years, Man Jun did not frown.

"Okay, I'll come over tomorrow..."

Sun Lianda smiled, but he planned to give Fang Yi some money to Manjun. How could Sun Lianda's disciples be known for eating and drinking for free in the future?
