Chapter 422 Heavenly Saint Bronze Man

Old Butler Mike Jay soon came up with a bottle of champagne. When Hong Tianbao saw it, he smiled bitterly. The old man actually took a bottle of huge champagne half a meter high. Is it so exaggerated to use?

"Great Lord, do you think this bottle is enough? Why don't I have someone carry a few more bottles?" Mike Jay didn't know what Hong Tianbao's real intention was, so he didn't know how much he needed, so he found such a large piece. At the end, he asked if it was enough.

"Ahem! Enough, enough! Don't be busy." Hong Tianbao said quickly, this is a wasteful enough.

Old Butler Mike Jay also brought the guy who drove champagne, but when Hong Tianbao used that thing, he used it casually and the champagne to open. The champagne inside suddenly spewed out, making the ground full of.

Hong Tianbao slowly poured the champagne into the Jiulong jade glass, and it was soon overflowing, so he stopped. Mike Jay didn't understand what Hong Tianbao was going to do, so he stared at Hong Tianbao's movements. Seeing him pouring the champagne into the jade glass, he thought to himself: Could it be that he wanted to drink with this jade glass? Although this jade glass may be more precious, it seems not very clean inside!

But the next moment, the scene inside the jade cup made him unable to blink. He saw nine dragons rolling in the jade cup, just like playing in the sea.

"This! This is..." Mikeja pointed at the jade cup in shock. He never dreamed that the exquisite jade cup he had seen for thirty or forty years was so magical, just like the holy grail in their myths and legends.

"Haha! This is a rare treasure in China, called: Jiulong Jade Cup!" Hong Tianbao said happily.

Since this matter was confirmed, Hong Tianbao immediately sent good news to everyone in the country. When Mr. Kong and others heard that it was the magical Nine Dragon Cup of the Qing Dynasty, they were all shocked. Director Ding and Mr. Yan immediately found someone and immediately chartered a flight to Britain.

Seeing this treasure, Hong Tianbao was very happy. Then he stood up and walked to other places, hoping to see other treasures of the same level. Although this idea is a bit unrealistic, it is already a blessing for the world to find one of this treasure here.

When he just entered the bronze area, his steps stopped again and his eyes fell straight on a bronze man.

I saw that this bronze man was made of bronze, with a height similar to that of a young man, with a handsome face and a healthy body. He had hair and a crown on his head; his upper body was exposed, and his lower body was shorts and a belt; his figure was upright, his hands were stretched flat, and his palms were facing forward. The entire bronze man had dense holes, but Hong Tianbao knew that it was the acupoint of the human body. The bronze man was cast into two parts, and he used a special plug to disassemble and combine.

Hong Tianbao expanded his spiritual sense and swept towards the bronze man. He found that there were wood carvings and bones in it. When he got closer, he found that the treasure was from the Tiansheng period of the Song Dynasty. Hong Tianbao immediately recognized the origin of this bronze man, and his face was a little moved. The reputation of this treasure was not at all under the Jiulong Jade Cup just now. If there was no mistake, this was the long-lost Tiansheng Acupuncture Bronze Man.

Speaking of Tiansheng Acupuncture and Bronze Man, we have to mention one person. That is Wang Weiyi.

Wang Weiyi was a famous medical scientist in the Northern Song Dynasty and served as a medical official in the two dynasties of Emperor Renzong of Song and Emperor Yingzong. After three years of hard work, he completed the new national standard for acupuncture and moxibustion acupoints, "Newly Cast Bronze Man Acupoint Acupuncture and Moxibustion Picture Classic". In order to facilitate preservation, it was carved on five stone tablets respectively.

Emperor Renzong of Song believed that "the heart is not as good as the eyes, and the words are not as good as the form of the case." So he ordered the acupuncture bronze man to be cast according to the "New Acupuncture Picture Classic of the New Copper Man".

The acupuncture bronze man was designed by Wang Weiyi. The court organized skilled craftsmen from all over the country to cast. In 1027, they cast two identical acupuncture bronze man, which were later called the Song Tiansheng acupuncture bronze man.

This Song Tiansheng acupuncture of bronze man in bronze reflects the higher human aesthetics and casting technology at that time. It can not only be applied to acupuncture, but also to anatomy.

What is even more strange is its practicality. In the Song Dynasty, acupuncture and moxibustion medical examinations were conducted in the medical hospital every year. During the examination, mercury was injected into the copper body, and the surface of the body was coated with yellow wax to completely cover the meridian acupoints. The candidates could only use experience to lay the needles. Once the acupoints were accurately pinched, mercury would flow out of the acupoints. Medical history books called this strange phenomenon "in needles and mercury came out."

Song Tiansheng Acupuncture and Bronze Man was the earliest acupuncture and bronze man in China and even the world. It pioneered the world's acupuncture teaching of bronze man as a human body model, and attracted great attention at home and abroad.

One bronze man of acupuncture was placed in the imperial medical hospital for observation and practice by studying medicine. The other was placed in the Renji Hall of Daxiangguo Temple in the capital for the people to visit. "Zisheng Xunfeng" became one of the eight scenic spots in Bianjing.

The rare and wonderfulness of Song Tiansheng’s acupuncture of the bronze men seemed to have destined to have a miserable life. More than a hundred years later, disaster came.

In 1126 AD, the Jin soldiers invaded the south in large numbers, captured the capital of Bianjing, the Northern Song Dynasty, and plundered rare treasures. From then on, the two "Song Tiansheng Acupuncture Bronze Man" were lost.

So, where did the Song Tiansheng acupuncture bronze man fall in? Although there are records of the acupuncture bronze man in Xiangyang, Hubei, there are no real objects. According to historical records, a few years after the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, a bronze man appears in Xiangyang, Hubei.

Shortly after Zhao Gou ascended the throne, **Zhong sent the bronze man of Song Tiansheng to the Southern Song Dynasty.

The Yuan Dynasty army attacked the capital of the Jin Dynasty, Bianjing. Two years later, the Jin Dynasty fell, and the Yuan Dynasty took the opportunity to send envoys to the Southern Song Dynasty to force the bronze men to ask for the acupuncture of the bronze men. Fearing the power of the Yuan Dynasty, the Southern Song court had to offer the bronze men to the Song Tiansheng.

Afterwards, all dynasties were competing for this rare treasure in the medical field. Until the Ming Dynasty, the Tiansheng Acupuncture Bronze Man was no longer seen.

What surprised Hong Tianbao was that this treasure actually appeared abroad. Everyone always thought that this treasure should be covered in dust and dirt in a certain place in China.

Seeing Hong Tianbao staring at the bronze man with thousands of holes in a daze, Old Butler Mike Jay understood that this bronze man, who had always felt like a discarded product, should also be a treasure.

Their Western standards for appreciation are different, and they like treasures that are exquisite to every detail. Chinese porcelain is very suitable for their taste, which is why porcelain is so popular in Europe. But this bronze man is obviously unqualified, and at first glance, it makes people feel uncomfortable. The dense small holes make people feel nauseous.

Hong Tianbao nodded and said, "This is a medical treasure that our country has been famous for since ancient times."

Although the old butler nodded, he didn't agree with the bronze man. If he had said the Nine Dragon Jade Cup just now, he really treated it like a divine object, but the bronze man really didn't agree with it.

Looking at the old housekeeper's expression, Hong Tianbao knew what he was thinking, but there was no explanation, so there was no need to explain. (To be continued)
