Chapter 637

"If I am not mistaken, this should be a fan used to cover the face that appeared as early as the Han Dynasty."

"That's right, this is a 'bianmian', also called a 'zhangmian'."

When someone said this was a fan used to cover the face in the Han Dynasty, Fang Yang nodded repeatedly, and then said some things he had learned.

"I remember that in the 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival', among the many small figures, one of them used a fan to cover their face."

"At that time, a person riding a horse was looking in the other person's direction, and then the other person used a fan to cover their face."

When Fang Yang said this, he suddenly felt it was interesting, so he explained very seriously: "I once heard a saying that I think is very reasonable, saying that this fan was specially prepared for those ancient people with social anxiety, because they didn't want to see the other person, so they covered their faces, and at the same time, it avoided social embarrassment."

"Fang Yang, what you said makes a lot of sense; I have actually heard similar sayings. If you meet someone you don't want to see, use a fan to cover your face, and the other person will understand the meaning of the person covering their face. Most likely, they will also pretend not to see or recognize you; this was a polite gesture at the time."

650. The ancients still understood, the magnificent scenery in 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival'! (Seeking full subscription)

Although the unearthed cultural relic started out very ordinary, it was very useful for them to understand the era at that time, which made the people from the Cultural Relics Bureau very happy.

Because behind this seemingly ordinary fan, there were actually some sayings about etiquette, and there was also a background.

【Popularity】 +1+1+1+1.

……

——【Now if you want to avoid social interaction, you can directly use your mobile phone; if you don't want to see it, just lower your head and look at your phone.】

——【Walking while looking at your phone, shaking your glasses, and walking slowly.】

——【If you're not careful, you'll end up in the hospital.】

——【My friend fell directly into a sewer manhole; later I was the one who pulled him up.】

——【After the lockdown was lifted, I still wear a mask when I go out; I pull it down when there is no one, and quickly cover it when there is someone. The epidemic was to prevent viruses, but now it's to prevent others from seeing me clearly.】

——【The problem is that you can still tell who it is.】

——【Just wearing a mask, people who are familiar can still recognize me, because I'm losing hair, so I wear a hat, and I guarantee my parents won't recognize me.】

——【Besides not wanting to socialize, there is actually another reason, which is that now I am a bit disgusted by others sneezing and coughing, especially on the subway during the morning rush hour.】

——【What you said is really right; I am also like this.】

——【In the Northeast, they might come over and lift your fan directly, and then chat with you.】

——【Northeasterners are really too enthusiastic.】

——【Yes, they will also say, I just called you there, why didn't you make a sound?】

——【Indeed, my neighbor, Auntie Great Qing, is really going to kill me.】

——【The ancients were very polite; acquaintances must greet each other when they meet, but if you have an urgent matter, you must bring a fan. If you meet an acquaintance, use the fan to cover your face, and the other person will know you have an urgent matter and won't come up to disturb you.】

——【This explanation has very high emotional intelligence; I'll give you a like!】

——【The essence of the truth.】

——【In the village now, if you pass by someone's door without greeting them, the whole village will spread rumors about you. A cold, domineering president can't say a word all day, but when he gets to the village, the old ladies will write all kinds of versions of small essays for you.】

——【But what can people with social anxiety do? I'm sorry, I feel like there's nothing to say, it's very awkward.】

——【I didn't expect the village to be like this now; it's all in the past. I actually miss it quite a bit. It's not like now, it's too cold; it's fine if someone talks bad about me.】

——【It's really like this; I don't know if other places are in this situation, but our village is like this.】

——【I really don't like greeting people; one by one, they are very hypocritical, and it's disgusting to see them.】

——【Me too, but people in the village see each other every day. Later, many things like weddings and funerals will be used. If people don't talk when they meet, they might trip you up later when you need help. After all, everyone sees the numbers, and they have to deal with them, which is annoying.】

——【The ancients were good; the ancients knew what it meant to be out of sight, out of mind.】

——【The ancients were indeed smart; the women and men of big families were all very elegant.】

——【If I don't wear a mask when I go out now, I feel like I'm missing a piece of clothing.】

——【I also discovered this; after I wore a mask, my self-confidence became stronger, and I didn't have social anxiety.】

——【Me too; I feel like I can wear a mask forever.】

——【When I became an adult and bought my first round fan, when I took it out to show off, I suddenly found that using the round fan to cover the lower half of my face when talking was elegant and good-looking. As expected, the ancestors knew how to play.】

——【Now I use a mask and a hat; I'm a person with social anxiety, and I don't like greeting people.】

——【It's also quite good; if you don't want to talk, just block your face, and neither side is embarrassed. The ancients were still particular; the etiquette of the ancients shouldn't be lost.】

——【Why did they abandon such good culture now? This is too suitable for me, a person with social anxiety; please popularize it!】

——【Ask everyone a question: how can people with social anxiety wear masks naturally in summer.】

Maybe this matter is related to everyone's life, so everyone is very concerned.

Quite a few people directly blurted out that they actually had social anxiety.

Fang Yang felt that this kind of historical knowledge that is controversial and can even make everyone agree is very useful.

"Many scenes in 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival', and even some small characters, are very interesting. If everyone digs carefully, they will be interested in that era."

Fang Yang smiled and suggested that everyone learn more about the prosperous scene of the Northern Song Dynasty.

And the prosperous scene of the Northern Song Dynasty was perfectly reflected by this painting, 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival'.

So Fang Yang bringing this up now was a very good thing for everyone.

It could also make people unable to help but feel a bit of joy in their hearts.

They really liked it very much.

"Brother, everyone in the live broadcast room is commenting. If they look at it themselves, how can they understand it?"

"I hope you can take some time to take them to see 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival' together."

"……"

"Fang Yang, our museum happens to have a 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival'; I think you can go there and take a look when the time comes."

Everything was the most wonderful coincidence. Fang Yang didn't expect that when everyone was curiously urging him to talk about 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival', the other party would actually say such a thing.

"But so far, the original work of 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival' has not been found."

"It is indeed not found, but we have a copy made by a painter from the Qing Dynasty. I think there is no problem with explaining it to everyone."

A copy from the Qing Dynasty, that can also be considered an ancient object.

Explaining it this way is actually fine.

"Okay, then after I finish working, I will take everyone to the museum to see 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival'."

Fang Yang smiled and said this to the people in the live broadcast room, and under the expectant gazes of everyone, Fang Yang began the next excavation work.

Fang Yang continued to excavate, and then as he walked forward, he suddenly almost reached a farmhouse.

Saying it was a farmhouse, it was actually basically abandoned.

Everything looked broken and rotten.

Fang Yang's gaze fell on it, and he looked at it for a long time.

Then he walked directly into this farmhouse.

"Hello, is anyone there?"

Fang Yang said loudly to the people inside while walking forward.

However, he did not get any response.

Especially the further he walked inside, the more he could feel that the atmosphere around here was very wrong.

"It looks like no one has lived here for a long time."

Looking from the outside just now, he found that there were traces of people having been active outside, but inside here, there was dust, spider webs, and a moldy smell everywhere.

Clearly, someone should have lingered nearby, but no one had indeed come in.

Since Fang Yang had already arrived at this place, it meant that there were actually treasures here.

Some of the people from the Cultural Relics Bureau had been following Fang Yang's actions.

When they saw Fang Yang walk here, they were all very surprised.

At the same time, they also made some explanations for the things Fang Yang was puzzled about before.

"This is just an abandoned farmhouse. There are so many traces and footprints outside because we also suspected that there might be cultural relics here before, so we scouted it out."

"You came here to look for it before, but didn't find anything, right?"

Fang Yang didn't expect that these people from the Cultural Relics Bureau had actually come here to look for it before, so he felt very surprised by this.

"That's right, we came here to look for it before, but didn't find anything, so we had to give up."

Fang Yang nodded when he heard the other party's words.

"Maybe to find the cultural relic, it is in a very inconspicuous position, so you didn't find it."

No matter what their attitude was, for Fang Yang, there were indeed cultural relics here.

He was very much looking forward to the moment of finding the items.
