"quick!"
"Check it quickly!"
“Are those two sentences just now part of the Tao Te Ching?”
After Wu Shunqing muttered to himself, he immediately became energetic and shouted to other researchers who were watching.
After everyone heard this, they were all a little confused after they came back to their senses.
After about a few dozen seconds, someone took the lead in shouting: "These two sentences are really from the Tao Te Ching. The first sentence comes from Chapter 75 of the second part of the Tao Te Ching, and the second sentence comes from the Tao Te Ching." Chapter 78 of the second part of the Tao Te Ching!"
As this voice fell, the scene suddenly became an uproar.
The "Tao Te Ching" is also known as the "Tao Te Ching". Anyone who is a Xia Chinese knows very well what this classic work means.
This is a magnificent work that has been studied by scholars of all dynasties for more than two thousand years. Its content involves philosophy, literature, aesthetics, medicine, military science, sociology, ethics, astronomy, health care, management, etc. Its content is profound and mysterious, covering all schools of thought and embracing all things. It is revered by later generations as a secret book for governing the country, managing the family, studying, and cultivating oneself, and is known as the "King of All Classics" and "Encyclopedia".
In Taoism, the "Tao De Zhen" is regarded as the main classic of Taoism. Together with the "Nanhua Zhen Jing" and "Chongxu Zhen Jing", it is also called the Three True Sutras. Lao Tzu, the author of the "Tao De Zhen Jing", relies on this book He founded the Taoist school and is now honored as "Taozu" in Taoism, also known as "Tai Shang Lao Jun".
"I remember that the earliest extant version of the Tao Te Ching is the silk script A and B of the Han Dynasty. If the words recorded on these water-logged bamboo slips are all the contents of the Tao Te Ching, then these water-logged bamboo slips would be too precious. Got it!"
"Who do you think wrote this bamboo slip? It seems that the Tao Te Ching was created by Lao Tzu at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, right?"
"Do you think it's possible that this is the original version of the Tao Te Ching?"
"Are you kidding? How is this possible?"
"I'm just saying casually, this is indeed a bit outrageous."
……
Everyone was talking a lot, and they were inevitably a little excited to witness the reappearance of the Tao Te Ching from the Spring and Autumn Period.
At this moment, Bai Xi looked at the water-soaked bamboo slips in front of her, and she finally understood why this task was called "The Tao Can Be Spoken."
As the pioneering work of Taoism, "Tao Te Ching" uses "Tao" to explain the evolution of all things in the universe. It is the beginning of the Taoist school and the foundation of Taoism in the world. Therefore, it is called "Tao", which is absolutely well-deserved.
Soon, the water-saturated bamboo slips in the hands of other researchers also completed the decolorization process one after another, allowing the water-saturated bamboo slips to reappear with writing spanning more than 2,500 years.
If the Tao rushes and is used, it may not be full; the reason why the heaven and the earth can last long and long is because it does not generate itself, so it can live forever; the palace is full of gold and jade, but no one can keep it; the husband does not fight, so no one in the world can fight with it...
One by one, the water-soaked bamboo slips conveyed the thoughts from more than 2,500 years ago to people today across time and space. Looking at this scene, Bai Xi suddenly understood why Wu Shunqing, Zheng Daoquan and others loved this industry so much. This is indeed a very fulfilling thing.
"Wu...Director Wu, come quickly, come quickly!"
Just when everyone was immersed in the joy of success, a relatively young researcher suddenly shouted towards Wu Shunqing, which attracted everyone to look at him in surprise.
"what happened?"
"Did anything go wrong with the decolorization process?"
Wu Shunqing frowned slightly and asked the other party while walking towards that side.
"No, no, the decolorization was very successful."
The researcher waved his hands repeatedly, then pointed at the water-soaked bamboo slip in front of him and said, "Director Wu, look at the words on this water-soaked bamboo slip!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Shunqing was stunned for a moment, and his eyes moved downwards involuntarily. After he saw clearly the words on the water-soaked bamboo slip in front of him, he froze in place.
Bai Xi, who was following Wu Shunqing, saw Wu Shunqing standing there without saying a word. He thought something had happened, so he followed him and looked at the water-soaked bamboo slips.
"Wow!"
After Bai Xi saw the words clearly, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Because on this water-soaked bamboo slip, it was clearly written: Li Danzhe!
Just three words shocked Bai Xi to the point where it was like a nuclear explosion.
"Director Wu, this..."
Bai Xi was a little confused, and she subconsciously looked at Wu Shunqing beside her.
Facing Bai Xi's gaze, Wu Shunqing's eyes were extremely complicated, and he said with a slightly sighed tone: "Miss Bai, what you found in that bronze tripod seems to be quite extraordinary!"
"Director Wu, based on these three words alone, can you be sure that it is my authentic work?"
Bai Xi took a deep breath, then lowered his voice and asked Wu Shunqing.
"I can't be sure." Wu Shunqing shook his head, then changed the subject: "But as long as there is no stronger evidence that it is the original copy of the Tao Te Ching written by Lao Tzu in the future, then based on these three words alone, you can definitely say that this is the original copy of the Tao Te Ching written by Lao Tzu, and the archaeological and historical circles will recognize it."
After hearing this, Bai Xi roughly understood what Wu Shunqing meant.
Unless a better copy of the Tao Te Ching appears in the future that can prove that it is written by Lao Tzu, then after these water-soaked bamboo slips in her hands are successfully restored, just the three words "written by Li Dan" and the age of these water-soaked bamboo slips will be enough to call it an authentic copy.
Even if experts and scholars raise objections at that time, they will not be able to shake its status. This is just like the Twenty-Four Seals of the Ming Dynasty that Bai Xi opened from the stone tablet some time ago.
Before the Twenty-Four Seals of the Ming Dynasty were unveiled, there was actually a Ming Dynasty jade seal in the Yunnan Provincial Museum.
Moreover, the imperial seal of the Yongli Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty was always exhibited as an authentic one. Until Bai Xi found the Twenty-Four Seals of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial seal of the Yongli Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty was basically confirmed to be a fake.
Who is real and who is fake?
The main thing is to see who is more true and who is more false!
In the absence of more authentic and sufficient historical evidence, these water-soaked bamboo slips from Baixi are the authentic copies of the Tao Te Ching written by Lao Tzu!
Suddenly, Bai Xi's mind moved slightly.
Wu Shunqing and others may not have a way to identify whether these water-soaked bamboo slips are authentic works of Laozi, but Bai Xi does.
Whether it is an authentic one or not, you can find out through System Overlord.
If it is an authentic work, then its grade will definitely be judged as a national treasure. If the authentic copy of the Tao Te Ching written by Lao Tzu cannot be rated as a national treasure, then a large number of antiques and cultural relics that are now in existence and are claimed to be national treasures will have to be ashamed and downgraded to a lower level.
Thinking of this, Bai Xi silently threw an appraisal at the bamboo slips in front of him, consuming the collection value and conducting an investigation.
Soon, several virtual system prompt boxes popped up in front of Bai Xi. After she saw the contents of the virtual system prompt boxes clearly, her heart was immediately stirred...
