My system is not decent

The lost wax method is more suitable for casting small pieces and utensils with many hollow patterns.

The second is metal mold casting, in which the metal is made into a mold, and the bronze liquid is poured into the mold.

It can be used for multiple purposes, such as making weapons, but it cannot cast big clocks.

Then there is the mud model method, yellow mud is used to make molds, which has good fixity and high temperature resistance, and is most suitable for casting bells.

The bells cast in this way are not only beautiful in appearance, but most importantly, they have good sound quality.

To make mud models, the temperature resistance of yellow mud must reach 1560c, the clay must be highly viscous, and must be resistant to shrinkage.

Jingyun bell is cast by copper and tin alloy, using the "multi-model casting method", that is, the casting mold is divided into 5 sections, a total of 26 molds, and cast at one time.

Therefore, if he imitates Jing Yunzhong now, he will face two challenges.

One is the choice of bronze materials, and the other is the production of clay models.

Looking at the inheritance of Jing Yunzhong, Chen Wenzhe naturally knows how to choose copper materials and how to make copper-tin alloys.

As for the making of mud models, isn't it just playing with mud?At this point, Chen Wenzhe is professional.

The most important thing in making clay models is actually the various decorations on the bronze bells, as well as the stalactites used for tuning.

In fact, not only the 32 stalactites are tuners, but in other places, as long as the patterns are located, they all have some effect.

This is why Chen Wenzhe originally thought about learning the rhythm of the Tang Dynasty.

It's a pity that he didn't take the time to take a look at the collection of the big collector in Dahai City.

In other words, he was never free and did not summon him.

After joining the Collectors Association, Chen Wenzhe's personal antiques were exhibited, but it has not yet been done!

Chen Wenzhe asked Professor Tao that generally such membership exhibitions are held in a month near the end of the year.

In this way, the Gregorian New Year has passed, and the Lunar New Year's Eve has not yet come. That is, in this space, those bigwigs have time to see the exhibition.

In fact, now that I think about it, it would be superfluous to find another Tang Qin and study the temperament.

Because on this Jingyun clock, Chen Wenzhe has seen too many tuning processes.

In other words, he already knew the temperament of the Tang Dynasty, at least he knew the tuning method of the percussion music of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, in addition to the most important copper material, the second is the production of clay models.

Because it is cast with multiple clay models, that is to say, Chen Wenzhe will make five sections, a total of 26 clay models, and finally cast them out in one go.

The most important thing is, who can guarantee that it will form a big clock with beautiful and thick sound after being casted in this way and welded together?

This ancient musical instrument is really amazing.

Many people say that it is luck to make a famous clock handed down from generation to generation, but this is not always the case.

For example, Jingyun Bell, this is a big clock ordered by the emperor, can you make it by luck?

For some people who don't understand the situation and technology, they think that the success of the casting of famous clocks, to a large extent, depends on luck.

It is not an easy task to cast a bell, because no foundry master can guarantee that the bell he casts will be a perfect and beautifully sounded bell handed down from generation to generation.

But, really take your chances?

If you can try your luck in making big clocks, what about chime bells, which are a large number of ancient percussion instruments?

Does the casting of this kind of thing also need to be lucky?

If you succeed in casting four, six, or even sixteen or thirty-two pieces at one time, that would be a little bit of luck.

Therefore, tuning, making clay models, and later carving, polishing, and joining are all very important techniques.

In other words, making a big clock in ancient times not only cost money, but also took a lot of energy.

Otherwise, if you can't think of anything, or can't do anything, you won't succeed.

This requires the use of extremely advanced knowledge of music theory, which obviously cannot be done by luck.

Therefore, even if there is an emperor to promote it, it will cost a lot to cast a qualified and famous clock handed down from generation to generation.

Since the cost is so huge, why cast it?

One is that the emperor thought, and the other is that it is really necessary to cast such a big bell.

Isn't it the pursuit of beautiful things that human beings live?

The sound of the bell is also a kind of pursuit.

Just to give an example, Hanshan Temple will ring 108 bells on New Year’s Eve, and it is not free to enter Hanshan Temple to listen to the bells, but you have to pay 320 yuan for the ticket.

The average cost of listening to the bell is about 3 yuan, which may be the most expensive music in the world.

But even so, why do pilgrims still flock to the bells of Hanshan Temple on New Year's Eve?

The reason is very simple, because the sound made by the ancient bell of Hanshan Temple is extraordinary.

Sima Qian wrote in "Historical Records. Music Book": beautiful music can "turmoil the blood, channel the spirit and straighten the heart."

Modern medicine has also proved that the sound of ancient bells can really "exorcise evil and cure diseases".

Facts have proved that residents of Fengqiao Town who live 10 kilometers around Hanshan Temple, which is within the reach of the bell, rarely suffer from mental and digestive diseases, and there are a lot of elderly people in the town.

It has been a long time since Chen Wenzhe got the task, and he also knows something about world famous clocks.

If he didn't know about it, and tried his best to prove it, he really didn't know that ultrasound can cure diseases.

For example, the grand bell can not only stimulate the righteousness in the human body, but also generate powerful ultrasonic waves when the ancient clock rings. This ultrasonic wave can kill rabies virus and encephalitis virus, and can kill whooping cough and diphtheria bacteria. Difficult to survive.

If such a thing is just a legend, that's all.

Chen Wenzhe has really verified that although ultrasound cannot cure rabies, the rabies virus can be inactivated by sunlight, ultraviolet rays, ultrasound, 2% soapy water, and iodine.

Chen Wenzhe really couldn't believe this kind of thing if he didn't find out, but it was the truth.

There was a reporter who did not believe that the sound of bells could wash people's hearts. He once sat on the steps of Hanshan Temple and listened to 108 bells.

He said: After listening to the New Year's bell, my heart is full of positive energy like sunshine. I believe that tomorrow morning, I will be able to work more attentively and strive to achieve better work results in the coming year!

Whether you can believe such a statement, you will know by listening to the bells of Hanshan Temple.

Now is the Internet age, even if you don’t travel, you can still listen to recordings.

Chen Wenzhe has heard it, and he has also heard the sound of singing bowls produced by using a lot of modern high-tech technology.

Whether the sound of this singing bowl can cure diseases, Chen Wenzhe dare not say, but after listening to it, he really felt very good, and even made people relax.

At least I like to listen to it, and sometimes I can't help but listen to it again and again. It can be said that the lingering sound is very pleasant.

And the bell is the same, but this thing can't be like a singing bowl, which sounds endless.

However, if this thing is imitated now, it must have high economic value.
