Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

Chapter 379 "Observation", "Zen" and "Enlightenment"

This is a land full of grain, and you can still see some withered corn stalks and leaves on the ground that are not covered by the dirt.

Compared with the garbage dumps in the city, this place is definitely much smaller. In addition, the garbage truck that dumps the soil is not an eight-wheel rear one, but an agricultural vehicle.

This can be seen from the size of the mounds.

In addition, there was no need for bulldozers to flatten them. After they were dumped directly into the Baogu field, they remained in piles as they were.

There are footprints on the surface of the mound, which means that someone has come here to look for it. They may be people working at the construction site. They must have discovered something. After searching at the construction site, they came to the soil yard again.

If you don't search in the mound for the first time, there is nothing you can do.

I looked at the fields outside the landfill and found that many of them were deserted and no crops were planted.

In recent years, farming for a year is not as good as going out to work for half a month.

Many people in the countryside only plant crops for one season or simply plant nothing at all.

After watching for a while, Wu Yuansheng suddenly found a tile with a double tile next to it.

The bricks and tiles from before can be used to judge the age of the temple. )
Maybe they thought they were pieces of porcelain, but the people who came before them to sweep up didn't pick them up.

Glancing at Yang Tantou, he had already walked ten meters ahead.

If you look carefully, the styles and sizes of bricks and tiles are many different.

Holding it in his hand, Wu Yuansheng continued to look for it.

The difference in bricks and tiles indicates that this temple must have been rebuilt before.

Because tiles before the Song Dynasty were usually larger.

The length of the large tiles is about 30 centimeters, and the width is about 16 centimeters. This era is very early, at least to the Song Dynasty.

He looked in a different direction than Yang Cheng. He didn't look for the tiles and bricks, but looked at the things inside the mounds.

The difference between the bricks is not too obvious, the main thing is the tiles, there are some very large ones and some smaller ones.

Mixed in the mound were porcelain and pottery shards. There are blue and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty, the Han Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty, and the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

(You cannot judge the age of a temple from daily necessities. After all, it is normal for future generations to use the daily necessities of their predecessors.

Maybe he thought the bricks and tiles here were worthless, so he went to look for something more valuable.

This really proves the saying that "the poor are in front of the temple and the rich are behind the temple".

In this lotus pattern, the lotus has a single petal and is long in shape. At first glance, it looks like a tile from the Song Dynasty.

Considering that this is a temple, it is normal that the tiles have lotus patterns.

The small tiles are similar to those seen on some old houses, which were built after the Qing Dynasty.

Wu Yuansheng did not find much rough porcelain.

The daily necessities in the temple are not low-end. Those who burn incense and worship Buddha have donated money for incense for a long time, so the jars, pots, bowls, and plates purchased are basically fine porcelain.

I picked it up and looked at it. It was a little damaged, but I could still see clearly the pattern on the surface, which was a lotus pattern.

After looking at several mounds of earth, he found that the fallen ones were all green bricks and tiles.

There were a lot of various pieces of porcelain, and it didn't take long before his hands could no longer hold them.

After taking a look at Yang Tantou, he was in similar condition.

"Boss Yang, it seems that our trip was worthwhile! Even if there are no copper coins or anything else in the soil, it will not be in vain if we pick up more porcelain pieces and go back!"

Wu Yuansheng smiled and said to him, after all, the porcelain pieces are valuable.

"Yes! We'll take the time to pick it up later. After we've found the things on the surface, we'll sweep through the dirt."

After Yang Cheng finished speaking, he walked towards the van, preparing to get the bag he brought with him.

He also walked towards the parking place.

After returning to the van and putting their things away, they each took a snakeskin bag, then went to the mound and continued to pick it up. The things inside the mound are of course not just porcelain pieces, but also stone products, a small amount of glazed products or fragments, etc.

Among the stone products, there are stone foundations, stone flower pots, stone basins, stone incense burners (rectangular containers used to hold incense), large medicine hammers used to pound medicine, etc.

Perhaps because they felt cumbersome, the locals, including those doing the construction, did not pick up these stone products.

The stone foundation had no pattern and was similar to the ones in the old city. Wu Yuansheng had no intention of picking it up.

He carried the flower pots, basins, incense burners, and medicine hammers to the car.

When Yang Tantou saw the stone, he didn't want it and said he would give it to him.

After all, he couldn't get it back. He was a little embarrassed to ask for such a big item in his car.

Of course, moving those things takes a lot of time. If you have the time, you can get more money by picking up more porcelain pieces and selling one piece of stoneware.

Everyone knows how to settle accounts.

In fact, in terms of character, Yang Chengren is pretty good. Everyone may be selfish, but he understands moral matters clearly.

In addition to those practical stone tools, Wu Yuansheng also picked up a stone product with characters.

It is a square object similar to a small stone tablet.

There are very few words on it, just three:

"View", "Zen" and "Enlightenment".

The writing is in regular script and the carvings are very good.

Apart from the three characters, there are no other decorations.

This stone tablet should be an object that someone in the temple once meditated on.

As the saying goes, "As soon as you hear the word Vajra, you will be enlightened!"

Looking at this stone tablet can remind or make him remember some things and understand a lot of "principles".

(In life, when a person reaches a certain age, even if he doesn’t read a book, he can think of a lot and gain some understanding when he just sees an object.)
This is probably the state:

"If you look at mountains, you will see water as water; if you look at mountains, they are not mountains, and if you look at water, they are not water; if you look at mountains, they are still mountains, and if you look at water, they are still water!"

Some collectors may keep certain items that are not for sale. Those items may not be of much value to others, but they are more important to themselves.

Because that object has its own special meaning and contains a special story.

The stele is not big, with a side length of about 40 centimeters, a thickness of about six to seven centimeters, and a weight of about fifty or sixty kilograms.

The side with the writing on it was facing down before. If it were facing up, someone might see it and pick it up.

There are not many colored glaze items, including a few beads, ring-shaped ornaments, bottle fragments, etc.

Some of these glazed products are from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

Things made of colored glaze were generally very valuable in ancient times, and the earlier they were made, the more valuable they were.

Even in the Republic of China, ordinary people could not afford it.

However, temples are usually considered "big households" and have certain financial strength.

The two of them searched back and forth, clearing out all the valuable items that could be seen on the overturned pile of dirt. It was already almost half past twelve.

Although it took a short time, just over an hour, the harvest was still very good. The porcelain pieces found by each person weighed forty or fifty kilograms.

Yang Tantou should have more than him.

Among the items Wu Yuansheng picked up, apart from those from the official kilns, there were several exquisite items from private kilns.

Or draw characters, or draw auspicious patterns, or draw beautiful flowers...
