But several little kids were very excited when they heard this. They immediately came over and shouted: "Yes, if you have information, please get it now."
"Haha" Lu Yu smiled and looked back at him, "Do you know what intelligence is?"
"It's just something that's useful to you," the pockmarked kid replied.
After hearing this, Lu Yu turned around and said, "Is your information useful to me?"
"I don't know." Xiao Mazi scratched his head and grinned.
"Haha, then tell me and let me think about it," Lu Yu said
"I heard from Qin Yu that you are very interested in that blind man Chen Chen Chen, right?"
"Ah, that's right." This sounds quite awkward, as if Lu Yu has some special hobby, but if you take it literally, it's reasonable.
"I know him," Xiao Mazi patted his chest and said [
"oh"
"Enzhen knows my family and lived not far from his house before entering the city. If you don't believe me, ask her." He said, pointing to the "Wang Erniu" who was beaten up by Xiao Qin Yu.
Lu Yu saw the two girls having a good fight and didn't bother him. He patted the little pockmark and signaled him to follow him. The two of them slowly walked down the alley and plunged in.
"Can she testify?" Lu Yu asked
"Yes, we all lived in the suburbs back then," said a girl next to Xiao Mazi. This girl looked quite quiet and had a slightly bookish look on her face. Although she was dressed like a little girl, she was obviously very similar. others are different
Listening to a stutterer tell stories is very tiring. Anyone who has had similar experiences will not doubt that Lu Yu listened to the little pockmarked person for a long time before he figured out the whole story.
It turns out that Chen Xiazi was an aboriginal resident and lived in this area a long time ago. Even his strange yard full of traps was passed down from his ancestors and must have been at least hundreds of years old.
When Mazi was young, there were only two people in the Chen family, one old and one young. Blind Chen, who was in his thirties or forties at that time, was still in his prime and had no wife.
The old man is blind man Chen, his father is an old man with a white beard. Logically speaking, his father should be in his fifties or sixties and has not reached the point where his beard and hair are all white. However, this old man happens to be a Taoist priest with white eyebrows, dressed in navy blue robes with red handles. His whisker and beard are so long that they droop to the ground. He often leans on a cane and carries a gourd behind his back. Looking from a distance, those who don’t know his background think he is a wandering doctor like Hua Tuo and Bian Que.
Lao Chen wears Taoist robes and has haircuts, but he seems not to follow Taoism, catch ghosts, and have no destiny. However, he lived a very comfortable life for no other reason than that this family has a unique tattoo skill handed down from generation to generation.
Tattooing is a technique with a long history. It is also called tattooing. The literary point of "Nirvana" in ancient classical Chinese is that it is an activity that depicts an ideal picture on a person's skin and then retains it in memory as the most beautiful picture in life. To put it bluntly, it is to portray the image on the body.
Tattooing has been a part of human history and culture for at least two thousand years. Like many intangible cultural heritages, as a custom, it has a rather complicated historical process of development and evolution.
Historical records record that China's tattoo art generally originated from "Yue". Ancient Chinese books before the Tang Dynasty said that the Yue people "respected witches and ghosts and feared ghosts and gods" and were very enthusiastic about tattoos. The tattoos of all ethnic groups in the territory, including the Dai people, originated here.
As for how tattoos appeared, tattoos as a cultural phenomenon should be traced back to the ancestors' fear of certain harmful animals or imaginary "monsters". For example, in "Huainanzi", someone explained that the place "Yue" is "There are few things on land but many things on water." So people were "tattooed like scale insects" to achieve the ideal effect of "taking the shape of a dragon so that when they enter the water, the dragon will not be hurt."
What does it mean? It means that there were constant floods in that place. After you get a tattoo, your skin will look like a dragon. Then when people go into the water, those water monsters will not dare to bully you [
From this point of view, tattooing at this time is still a simple bionic movement. To put it simply, the purpose of tattooing is to seek harmonious coexistence with man and nature in the form of "pictographic meaning"
The ancestors who practiced witchcraft believed that although dragons were evil and tigers were poisonous, they would not hurt them. Children with fish scales and beast patterns on their bodies, and later Buddha tablets, could regard themselves as "dragon children" and "tiger children". Seeking the blessing of "gods, Buddhas, and auspiciousness" can be said to be the best of both worlds. It can be seen that the tattoos at that time expressed the simple mentality of ancient people in order to adapt to the special environment and live in harmony with nature.
However, with the development of the times, most of the impressions given by tattoos in daily life are incredible. The huge tattoos in daily life can easily remind people of gangster figures, just like the famous scene in a certain movie: if you want to show off, you have to take it off. Let me show you my clothes. I have a green dragon on the left and a white tiger and an old cow on my right. I have a dragon head on my waist and a colorful flower on my chest. I look so majestic.
In fact, the concept that tattoos are exclusive to the underworld is not suitable for modern life. In recent years, society has become increasingly open, and people have accepted a large amount of cultural information from Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea. Men and women are no longer as traditional as before, and tattoos are no longer considered taboo. To this day It seems that it is regarded as an important form of pursuing fashion.
Go to the street and open up your clothes to see if this thing is on many trendy men and trendy women. What’s even more interesting is that the tattooed parts are becoming more and more private, and more and more of them are hidden in underwear. You can’t find them until a certain level.
There are generally three types of tattoos in China
The first one is the oldest one handed down by the Maori people. It mainly uses shark teeth and animal bone spurs tied to wooden sticks, dipped in ink, and then struck into the skin with a small hammer to carve.
The second method appears later and is more brutal, but it is also considered energy-saving and environmentally friendly. This method mostly involves using several needles tied together on a wooden stick and then manually inserted into the skin.
The third method is the most popular in recent years. It usually uses a motor to drive the needle to penetrate the skin. It is highly efficient and easy to operate. It is an important product driven by high technology. This method is commonly used by tattoo artists today.
However, as veteran craftsmen, the Chen family and his son always use the first type.
