Chapter 257 Jingyang Wax Museum

The woman was wearing a deep V-neck long-sleeved dress with a black and red flower pattern of excellent texture. The left hand was slightly curved and gently placed on her abdomen, and the right hand was clenched and gathered on the right shoulder.Her dress looks very homely, but she is undoubtedly a beautiful woman who is enough to make people's hearts.Her demeanor is agile, making it impossible to believe that this is just a lifeless wax figure.

Cao Qiulan looked at her and didn't move for a long time, so long that Dong Yiyan became jealous.Although he knew it was just a wax figure, he still didn't like Cao Qiulan staring at others, not to mention that she was a beautiful woman.It was so long that other people couldn't help coming to Cao Qiulan's side and asking him if he found anything unusual.Cao Qiulan pondered and said, "I guess I have found something."

The word "can be regarded as" makes people puzzled. If there is a discovery, it is a discovery, and if it is not discovered, it is a discovery. What is it?Cao Qiulan didn't explain, but asked, "Have you ever been to a wax museum before?" Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay when they heard the words. Firstly, they didn't understand the meaning of his question, and secondly, none of them had been to a wax museum before. This kind of place is not popular in China.

It was the second time for Gongsun Jun to visit the Wax Museum, but it was also his first visit to this wax museum, and he had never been to other wax museums.However, as a native of Youzhou, Gongsun Jun knew that there was a large wax museum in Youzhou, which exhibited wax figures of celebrities from the Xia Kingdom. It was located in Ditan Park, and the ticket price was very low.However, he had no interest in it before, so he never went.

Cao Qiulan still looked at the wax figure of the foreign woman and said, "I've never been to a wax museum before."

Everyone else looked at him, unable to figure out what he was trying to say and what he had discovered for a moment.

Cao Qiulan continued: "But I also have a certain understanding of wax museums. As far as I know, domestic wax museums basically focus on wax figures of historical celebrities, and there are also some contemporary celebrities. The situation abroad is almost the same. Of course, there are wax figures of ordinary people, but they all have a certain theme, and there are key points and main lines that they want to show, instead of being messy like this."

"Have you found this wax museum? The costumes of all the wax figures are all modern costumes. Obviously, they are not famous historical figures. I don't know if any of these wax figures are familiar to you. Anyway, I have walked all the way. I don't know any of them. .Of course, I am not familiar with celebrities outside of Taoism, it may be just a small number of celebrities that I am not familiar with."

"But even so, it's strange. After all, most of the people who are interested in visiting the wax museum come for celebrities, and only a few are really interested in the wax art itself. If the wax figures in the wax museum are not very Famous, does the operator of the wax museum seriously want to make a profit from this wax museum? Besides, if it is an unknown person, then it needs to be introduced even more?"

"No way, this wax museum's positioning is actually a haunted house, right? Even if it's a haunted house, it's too monotonous and boring to have only one wax figure, and it won't attract many tourists who like to look for excitement." Cao Qiulan analyzed calmly .

Hearing what Cao Qiulan said, the others also remembered that they really didn't know any of the wax figures they saw along the way, and they didn't see any introduction to the wax figures anywhere.Thinking about it this way, this wax museum is a little too casual, right?Wei Yuanmei said: "Cao Daoist, I have already taken photos of all the wax figures and sent them to the headquarters so that they can compare them to the internal database."

Zhou Wensheng also said: "Cao Daochang, we have investigated the identity of the operator of this wax museum. He was originally a wax figure maker. He is unknown, but well-known in the industry, and the wax figures of the author are famous for their authenticity. He is from Jingyang Hong Kong, and he came back a few years ago to build this wax museum."

Everyone couldn't help looking at the wax figures in different poses around them, and they had to say that this evaluation was well-deserved and indeed true.

Cao Qiulan pondered for a while, and asked, "Has his financial situation been investigated?" Although he just said so much, since the operator is an artist, it does not rule out that he is rich and self-willed, what kind of wax museum will he build? , How to make your own wax museum is just out of your own preferences and pursuit of art, it doesn't matter whether you can make money or not.

In essence, Cao Qiulan can understand this kind of person very well, after all, he himself is also.But the premise is that the artist operator does have enough financial resources to maintain this kind of loss, and there is nothing unusual about the economy.

Zhou Wensheng replied: "The preliminary investigation results did not reveal any problems, and I will notify my colleagues to conduct more in-depth investigations." With the increase in arrests of economic crimes, people's economic problems are hidden more deeply. I can't tell at a glance.

Cao Qiulan nodded, looked at the time, and said, "It's time to prepare lunch, and the rest of the people can move freely." The wax museum is quite big, but they still have a lot of time, so they are not in a hurry.It's just that Gongsun Jun has a little psychological shadow, and he must act with a Taoist leader.

The daytime passed quickly, and when night fell, Cao Qiulan and Dong Yiyan climbed up to the roof of the Wax Museum together.Jingyang Port is not a particularly prosperous city. Although there are lights at night, the lights of the city cannot cover up the sky full of stars.

Cao Qiulan and Dong Yiyan sat together, the sky full of stars and nebulae visible to the naked eye shone brightly in the deep blue night sky.

As a Taoist priest, Cao Qiulan naturally studied astrology, and also has some understanding of modern astronomy, although he does not understand it deeply.This is especially true for Dong Yiyan, an ancient man. Ancient astrology is also a kind of divination, and it is also closely related to the calendar. In fact, the modern calendar is also related to astronomy.Leaving aside the complex issue of calendars, astrology is quite interesting.

Nowadays, many people like to study constellations, which are the twelve signs of the zodiac divided by the West, and believe that constellations can represent a person's destiny, personality and other things.Of course, most people just join in the fun, but I have to say that there are quite a few people who believe it.

On this point, I have to say that there was a tacit understanding between the East and the West in ancient times.Many people now know that in ancient Xia Kingdom, the stars were divided into 28 constellations, and according to their directions, they were divided into seven constellations of Canglong in the east, seven constellations of white tiger in the west, seven constellations of red bird in the south and seven constellations in Xuanwu in the north.But in fact, in addition to the 28 constellations, the ancient Xia Kingdom also had a division similar to the twelve zodiac signs, called twelve times.

Moreover, the division method of these twelve times is the same as that of the zodiac, which is to divide the days of a week near the zodiac into twelve equal parts. Of course, the positions of the two do not completely coincide.But they can also be used to indicate changes in solar terms.

In addition, like the astrology related to the zodiac, the ancient Xia astrology also had a concept of division.That is, one or several stars in the sky correspond to the states and countries on the earth, and the changes in the stars in the sky correspond to the blessings and misfortunes of the divisions on the earth.

This kind of simple and crude division is naturally a feudal superstition in the present view, but the division of the stars itself is quite interesting.For example, now, both Cao Qiulan and Dong Yiyan feel that watching the stars together is very meaningful.

There are no clouds tonight, and the stargazing conditions in Jingyang Port are also very good. The stars in the sky are as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River.It may be difficult for ordinary people to find out the stars or constellations when they see so many stars. The key is to find a reference object first.

Generally speaking, Xia people recognize stars from the Big Dipper. Everyone in Xia knows that the shape of the Big Dipper is very distinctive, like a spoon.In Taoist culture, the Big Dipper or the Big Dipper is also very important.

According to the records of "Seven Signs of Yunji", the Big Dipper has nine stars, seven stars and two hidden stars. The seven stars are what we often call the Big Dipper today.It is mentioned in the records that Zuo Fu You Bi was originally a bright star like the Big Dipper, but gradually disappeared.According to reasonable guesses based on the knowledge of modern astronomy, it can be speculated that these two hidden stars may be stars entering their later years, so their brightness gradually decreases.

In fact, the Zuofu star is the companion star of the sun star, and it forms a binary star system with the Kaiyang star. The brightness is around 4th magnitude, and it can be seen with the naked eye, provided that your eyesight is good enough.Interestingly, ancient armies used it to test soldiers' eyesight.

Well, many countries have used this method, including Xia Guo, of course.

In the classics of Taoism, the Big Dipper and the Nine Stars also have the responsibility of leading the 28 constellations, which are considered to be the symbol of the Big Dipper and the Nine Emperors.But because it is already mid-November, and the latitude of Jingyang Port is relatively low, they can no longer see the complete Big Dipper at this time.

Therefore, the goal of Cao Qiulan and Dong Yiyan is to find another very important star - Polaris!Whether you know Taoism or not, Xia people know that Polaris is the emperor star. There is a saying in the Analects, "Government is based on virtue, such as Beichen, where the stars live." In Taoism, Polaris represents the emperor Ziwei in the middle sky , is the Lord of the Stars, including the aforementioned Nine Emperors of the Big Dipper, who are also under his jurisdiction.
