On Monday, Xia Yu also got up and had breakfast with them at about the same time, and then went to the subway to take the subway together.

When the girls go to school, they go to the port city to "receive goods". The conditions for sending things to the port city will be much more relaxed than sending them directly back to Yuhai.

Moreover, many things are considered banned on Yuhai, but not on the port city, such as ivory, red coral, etc.

But in fact, the ivory and red coral in Xia Yu's hands are not new, but are truly "antiques" and are not affected.

He went to the station and could walk with Bai Yujiao for several stops. The girl was quite reluctant to let him go and asked him to inform her in advance when he came back to Yuhai.

Xia Yu said that he couldn't stay in Hong Kong City for long, and he came back to Yuhai after he had finished all the things. Then he promised that he would give her good things, but he didn't say what it was, just said it was a surprise. If you know what it was in advance, it wouldn't be a surprise.

Xia Yu is lazy now, so he takes the direct train to Hong Kong City. The price is more expensive, but it can save the trouble and time of transferring the train.

He got off at Harbor City at around 10 o'clock. He had no intention of going shopping in Harbor City, and he went straight back to his house in Qianwan.

Of course, he came to Hong Kong City to receive goods was just a cover, and everything was stored in his space! But he still had to do superficial skills.

He was not in a hurry to meet Bai Gaoze. When he came to Hong Kong City, he was just a different place to stay.

After returning to Qianwan's "luxury mansion", he cleaned the sanitation first and then solved the lunch problem. Cooking in the space will be more convenient and quick, mainly in sync with other things, so he doesn't have to do it outside, which saves him the trouble of cleaning the kitchen.

After that, he stayed at home to "receive goods". There were too many things in the space that needed to be sorted out. The last shipwreck in the late Five Dynasties and early Song dynasties had more than 300,000 cultural relics on it. If there were no space artifacts, he would not have been able to sort out after spending a few years.

After Xia Yu came back, all kinds of things had to be handled, but there was not much free time. When he returned to Yuhai, he just went to play with his girlfriend, and when he returned to his hometown, he had to help go out to sea to fish.

This time I came to Hong Kong City was also a rare personal time.

When he is alone, he can also take these cultural relics out of the space and truly put them in his hands to appreciate them.

The same is true for jewelry, jade and other things. The rubies he processed in the space and watched with natural light are the beauty that ordinary people can feel.

Among the treasures of this wrecked ship, his favorite cultural relics are two pairs of golden daggers.

These two pairs of four golden daggers have exquisite shapes and gorgeous patterns.

Very Middle Eastern style.

The handle is octagonal, with Arabic characters engraved on the handle, and the decorative pattern includes triangular fish roe patterns, leaf-shaped curly patterns, and petal patterns on eight sides.

The end of the handle is conical.

The blade part of the dagger is also made of gold. After cleaning it, it becomes more and more brilliant.

According to Xia Yu's guess, this is very likely a tribute artifact.

Such a dagger can be regarded as a rare treasure.

Of course, he would not sell such good things, so he would have collected them by himself.

Xia Yu has the ability to process gold in the space. It was not difficult to melt gold and recast it. You can do it at any small shop on the street that recycles gold. He also bought a full set of utensils. He gave Bai Yujiao a birthday gift, the gold bracelet he confessed with her name and his beloved love, was made of these extra space characteristics.

But he was not stupid enough to process it. This way, he could be regarded as a golden dagger for cultural relics. It was too late to maintain the original appearance!

In addition to his lonely appreciation of these two pairs of golden daggers, he would probably let the familiar people around him see them in the future.

It is impossible to sell, and you will never sell them in your life.

In addition to the golden dagger, there are many other good things in the shipwreck, and they are also of special value for historical and cultural research.

For example, there are various magic tools of several major religions.

Just studying this is enough to allow him to write a paper with rich pictures and detailed evidence to publish it.

Before, when he was salvaging the treasures of the shipwreck, Xia Yu discovered these religious items, but now he can slowly sort out these things.

Some of these cultural relics are directly related to Buddhism, such as Buddhist secrets; the magical instruments used by Vajra monks in the sect - vajra and vajra bells.

In addition, he also discovered two bronze statues, which are worshipped in Buddhism, with beautiful shapes and exquisite productions. Such shapes can be often seen in Dunhuang murals and other murals such as Thousand Buddha Caves.

He also included bronze lamps, celadon Capricorn fish lamps from Yue kilns, deer-shaped lid boxes, and celadons from celadons, all of which were Buddhist supplies.

When I was collecting space, I made preliminary classifications so as not to be too troublesome to find it later.

It is worth mentioning that the Vajra is a typical magic weapon in the Vajra school, symbolizing the invincible and invincible wisdom and true Buddha nature. It is said that it can eliminate all kinds of troubles and destroy all kinds of demons that hinder the practice of Taoism.

These bronzes reflect the existence of Tantric Buddhism in this area in the 10th century, that is, the end of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

The Yue Kiln Capricorn-shaped celadon in it has a complete preserved fish-shaped tail and a fish head tilted to the sky, with vivid image. It is 14 cm long and about 34 cm high. Xia Yu guessed that this is used as an oil lamp.

The image of Capricorn originated from Hinduism and later became a classic animal in Buddhism. The discovery of these objects shows that there may be Buddhist monks on the ship at that time.

The deer-shaped lid box is 8 cm long and 5 cm high. The lid is in the shape of a deer body. The deer bent her head and licks her hair, and a deer antler is still intact.

The box body is the lower body of a deer, and the legs are crossed and overlapped, which is clearly visible. Such a deer-shaped lid box is particularly rare in Yue kiln porcelain. It is very likely that it is specially customized by Buddhists.

As for why such a deer-shaped lid box was mainly burned, Xia Yu guessed that it might come from the legend of the nine-colored deer in "The Deer King Bensheng".

It is said that Sakyamuni was a nine-colored deer in his previous life. He saved a man who was about to drown and was betrayed by him.

Most people in Bali believe in Buddhism. What makes tourists feel the most profound is their large size of wood carvings, all kinds of jj and fruit girls.

In addition, Xia Yu also found many of the daily porcelains such as bowls, plates, jars and other types of Yue Kiln celadons, which were marked with lotus patterns or embossed lotus petals, which were obvious Buddhist cultural symbols.

Because Buddhism was very prosperous during the Wu and Yue Kingdom, it can be seen that Yue Kiln celadon and Buddhism had a particularly deep connection with the various countries and regions on the island of Wawa at that time.

There are probably many cultural relics belonging to the Qingzhen Church, which is also the belief of most people.

Including those two pairs of golden daggers, they have a distinct Middle Eastern style.

In addition, there may be Middle Eastern glassware used for rituals in the Qingzhen Jiaoli, as well as black beads engraved with ancient Arabic characters.

There is also an engraved Arabic inscription *** amulet mold, indicating that there may be missionaries or believers from the Qingzhen Church on the ship at that time, which was two hundred years earlier than the time when the Qingzhen Church was introduced to Caowa Island recorded in historical records.

More than four hundred years have passed since Zheng He, who also believed in the Qing Zhenshu, went to the West.

He salvaged many glassware and the colors were very diverse, including light blue, jade, colorless, and light yellow.

The categories include glass perfume bottles, and glass bottles that may be used for rituals.

But not many of them are preserved intact, only less than fifty pieces, and the others are broken.

Most of these glass bottles are translucent, long neck, flat bottom, and the bottle body is either straight cylindrical or spherical. Some are dome-shaped at the end of the neck, and some have molded patterns and Arabic characters.

Among them, jade green glass bottles are very rare among Middle Eastern glassware. The jade color glass bottle he salvaged is also a rare cultural relic.

In addition, he also found sixty crystal chess pieces with Arabic style.

There are also two crystal fish with forked tails. These are good things and are particularly rare. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are rare treasures.

The market price of such things is hard to say, but the value is definitely not low.

However, Xia Yu didn't plan to take action on these things.

There are also many Thai fine pottery jungle he found on the boat, also called clean bottles. These are basically used by Buddhist monks to store water.

In addition, there is one thing in the artifacts involving religion.

Xia Yu found many bronze mirrors on the shipwreck. This is not unusual. He found bronze mirrors on several shipwrecks before.

One of these is produced in China, and the other is made locally. The ones produced in China include grape mirrors, group flower mirrors, double phoenix-carrying mirrors, and sub-shaped flower mirrors. What particularly interested him is one of the Bagua mirrors with inscriptions.

The other bronze mirrors are fine, but the most worth exploring is this Bagua mirror.

The Bagua Mirror is not like other bronze mirrors, which serves as a means to reflect people.

According to Xia Yu's speculation, this should be a Taoist mirror used for practice.

Of course, the bronze mirror with Bagua patterns on the back of the mirror can be used even if it is not a Taoist priest. For example, it can be used in activities such as predicting good and evil, warding off evil and avoiding disasters.

Of course, this does not mean that there must be Taoist priests on this ship.

Because it is common to pray for the blessing of the gods during sailing.

In the book "The Book of the Entry to the Tang Dynasty for the Dharma" written by Yuanren, the third ancestor of the Tiantai Sect, it is mentioned that "When the sun is gone, I sacrifice to the gods and gods on the ship, and I also offer official silk and mirrors to the ship to the great god Suiyoshi."

Perhaps, such a gossip mirror is the mirror used by merchants and sailors to pray for blessings to the gods when they are sailing in the sea.

These are all interesting things. Xia Yu did not feel boring when he pondered the cultural relics on the ship.

There are not many people who study history and do research. With such good conditions, he can have so many physical objects to support him.

This also fully demonstrates that as early as the 10th century AD, Southeast Asia had become an important link for close ties between China and the Middle East.

When sorting out these cultural relics, Xia Yu, who was originally studying history, had a place to use his knowledge reserves.

But he also felt that the more he knew, the more things he didn't know.

What exactly do those things buried under the dust of history look like? Just reading history books will definitely not be able to know.

But such a shipwreck can restore the most real history. People can restore the social, economic, cultural and other aspects of the time from another perspective through physical evidence.

Xia Yu sorted out while thinking, and finally returned to the porcelain with the largest number of cultural relics in the shipwreck.

Among these porcelains, the largest number is Yue Kiln celadon, including Yue Kiln secret color porcelain and celadon bowls, plates, plates, pots, cups, cup holders, teeth trays, incense burners, etc.

Among them, the most valuable one is Yue Kiln Secret Color Porcelain.

The earliest source of secret color porcelain comes from the "Secret Color Yue Qi" by the Tang Dynasty poet Lu Guimeng.

"The wind and dew in the nine autumns open across the kiln, and it has won the green color of thousands of peaks.

I am so happy to be in the middle of the night and share the cup of Ji Zhongsan Dou.”

"Secret Color" porcelain originally referred to the fine products of Yue kiln celadon in the Tang Dynasty. "Secret Color" seems to refer to rare colors. It was the exclusive name that praised the beauty of the glaze color of Yue kiln porcelain at that time and evolved into Yue kiln glaze color. Later, in the Five Dynasties, the Qian family of Wuyue Kingdom controlled the Yue kiln kilns and ordered these porcelain kilns to be used for special purposes, which was not allowed to be used by the common people; and the glaze formula and production process were kept confidential, hence the name.
