Most Buddhas were seated and looked solemn.
As for this one, it looked very casual. It sat on the ground with one foot on the ground and the other hunched over. It waved its hand and placed it on its knee.
"This is interesting!"
Looking at Buddha was a type of Guanyin. After Guanyin was introduced to China from A'san, it gradually began to become a local religion. Although it was an external religion, its core content absorbed a series of other religions such as Taoism and gradually evolved into a Buddhism that belonged to the Chinese.
Take a look. Whether it's Tibetan Buddhism or Asan's Buddhism, there's actually a huge difference between them and Chinese Buddhism. Then, Buddhism spread from China to Japan, and developed into Japanese Buddhism.
Of course, the core content of Buddhism is still good, but the essence is actually not in line with our country's values.
The essence of Buddhism is to persuade people to become Buddhas. However, before becoming Buddhas, one needs to shave their heads and become a monk. They need to be pure. But what is the foundation of our country?
It was filial piety!
Since ancient times, anyone who was related to being unfilial would be finished.
Especially the executives, and even the emperor.
The appearance of monks and the like, asking you to become a monk and not have any descendants, was essentially unfilial.
There are three kinds of unfilial behavior, and the greatest is to have no descendants.
What the Chinese valued was the inheritance of life, the inheritance of the family.
The Guanyin in front of him was already in the shape of a Guanyin. Judging from the material, it was not made of copper but wood. He Yuhao squatted down and pointed at the stall. The boss nodded. He could start.
Then, he naturally started to get started.
There were many items on the stall, but upon closer inspection, they were all for the sacrificial ceremony.
Buddha statues, incense burner, and even a Buddhist altar and incense table.
He Yuhao looked around slowly and found that there was a good altar. Although it was not made of yellow rosewood or red sandalwood, it was not bad either. It was made of high-quality black sandalwood.
The altar was placed at the side. It was indeed not bad. Ebony was also a good wood. Although it was not as good as red sandalwood, it was still very good for making furniture. Some top-notch ebony furniture was not cheaper than red sandalwood.
After all, sandalwood was too difficult to become useful.
Then, he looked at Guan Yin!
Guanyin, Sanskrit called "Avalokitesvara", which meant "viewing the world", was the embodiment of great compassion.
In our country, Guanyin's reputation is undoubtedly the number one in Buddhism!
People like Tathagata could not compare to the popularity of Guanyin.
In the Buddhist scriptures, Guanyin was indeed worthy of great compassion.
Guanyin was originally a mortal. After many years of cultivation and devoutness to the Buddha, she finally achieved nirvana and entered the pure land of bliss. However, Guanyin eventually gave up her carefree state in order to return to the world and overcome the suffering of all living beings.
Therefore, the image of Guanyin in the hearts of the people was very high.
Originally, the Guanyin on Ah San's side was male, but after entering our country, it slowly evolved into a female.
However, the one in front of him was a man.
Before the Song Dynasty, Guanyin was still a man with a mustache.
In Buddhism, women were called " pink skeletons ", so there were absolutely no women in Buddhism.
As for when she became a woman, there were traces of it in the Tang Dynasty, but when she officially became a woman, there was no trace.
However, Buddhas were colorless and formless, just like men and women.
However, antiques were different. Guanyin was a male face. This meant that this thing was definitely early.
Why was this statue a man?
Because his torso was clearly visible under the robe!
Looking closely, the clothes were in the Asan style. It was an ancient style that India had introduced into the country. The way the body was exposed was very different from the Han clothing.
The main body was wearing a long dress at the waist, with a belt at the waist that was turned out, and the hem of the pleated skirt reached the ankle. A Brahmin knot was tied to his upper body, and a shawl was draped over his shoulders. It floated diagonally in front of his chest, and the end seemed to float in the wind. A neat bun was tied on his head, several locks of black hair hung down, and his long ears were decorated with earrings. This statue wears an exquisite crown, with a hole in the middle of the crown. Originally, it was decorated with a common Buddha sitting statue. Its chest is decorated with tassels and bracelets on its arms and wrists.
From the looks of it, it was a product from the 10th to 13th century.
Judging from the style, the place where it was made should be in the north of China at that time. However, at that time, the north of China was in the hands of foreigners.
"Is it from the Liao and Jin Dynasties?"
It was hard to say the exact period, but judging from the current situation, it should be the Liao and Jin Dynasties.
"Boss, give me a hand!"
"Lun Yuan!"
"This is wood, and it's not good wood. If you make a joke like this, I'll leave!”
"Horn!"
"Come!"
He Yuhao stretched out his hand, and very quickly, the Buddha statue was sold for 32 cents, while the other altar was sold for 46 cents!
It was a total of 78 cents!
How cheap!
As for the altar, it was not a problem to sell it for a few million. The most expensive thing was the Buddha statue. It was rare to see such a statue. Right now, people did not have the time to study the Buddha statue. In a few years, when the economy developed, the research on the Buddha statue would suddenly rise. By then, the statue in He Yuhao's hands would be a precious treasure.
It wasn't a national treasure because He Yuhao couldn't tell what it was made of. There was a layer of paint on top, and he couldn't see the bottom. However, it was definitely not a precious wood.
However!
He Yuhao estimated that 20 million yuan would not be enough!
After 2015, 20 million yuan would definitely not be enough to afford this.
"Take it well. I'm asking you to leave!”
"Please!"
The boss waved his hand, and He Yuhao left with the Buddha statue and the altar. He went to a place where no one was around, looked around, and entered the space.
After taking a closer look, it was indeed as he had guessed. The altar was made of ebony, and this Buddha statue was from the Liao and Jin Dynasties. From the 10th century to the 13th century, he really couldn't tell the details. It was best to do a carbon-14 identification, but this technology didn't exist in this era.
Let's wait, we'll talk about it later.
After putting it away, He Yuhao was filled with joy. This thing was a treasure.
Buddha statues had always been very precious. Unfortunately, many of them were gilded and rarely appeared in such a place.
Gilded? What did that mean? It meant that people who didn't know anything would think that it was gold!
After returning to the ghost market, He Yuhao continued to look around. He realized that there were many items here. They were related to Buddhism. He Yuhao picked and chose and bought quite a few. He even bought a faded gold bar!
What is this? This is a magic tool!
The vajra stake was a metal stake, and it was the ultimate weapon of the universe's Buddhist teachings against enemies and demons!
This was not a joke. There really was the Dharma of the Universe.
"Tsk tsk, this thing is interesting!”
He Yuhao had never seen the real thing in his previous life.
Today, he received one.
Ten million probably wouldn't be enough, but four or five million wouldn't be a problem for him to color the gold plate!
