At the very bottom of the banner, there stood a life-size statue of a young man, like the Terracotta Warriors of Qin Shi Huang.
However, this statue is not made of clay like the Terracotta Warriors, but of bronze, shining with dazzling golden light in the sun.
Not only that, if you look closely, you can see many tiny black spots like pinholes on the body of the bronze statue.
"The Heavenly Saint Bronze Man!"
Ye Feng and Tu Cangcang turned their heads to look at each other, and then exclaimed almost at the same time.
The Tiansheng Bronze Man was cast by Wang Weiyi, the imperial physician during the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty, to test medical students who were taking the acupuncture and moxibustion examination. The bronze man is in the shape of a young man, with 344 acupuncture points and 647 acupuncture points in total, and internal organs and bones.
What is even more amazing is that each acupuncture point on the bronze man is sealed with beeswax, and the depth of the beeswax is different. Only when the examinee accurately pierces the acupuncture point and controls the depth of the silver needle, can the mercury flow out of the hollow acupuncture point.
The Tiansheng Bronze Man is the earliest bronze acupuncture man cast in China and even in the world. It also pioneered the use of bronze men as human body models for acupuncture teaching in the world.
The Tiansheng Bronze Man, with such exquisite design and advanced medical concepts, can be said to be an absolute national treasure of China.
But unfortunately, the national strength of the Song Dynasty was weak in the late period, and it was captured by the Jin people who came south. Since then, the Tiansheng Bronze Man has disappeared.
Although countless bronze men have been rebuilt in successive dynasties since the Song Dynasty, none of them are as precious as the first Tiansheng bronze man.
But today, this bronze statue of the Heavenly Saint has appeared in Goryeo, and has been openly displayed on the campus of Seoul Medical University for those clowns in a foreign country who have plagiarized Chinese traditional medicine to observe.
"You two have good eyes. This is indeed the Heavenly Saint Bronze Man. It was collected from the Mongols by our Goryeo medical ancestor Xu Jun and has been kept in the Xu family. Now it has been donated to Seoul Medical University by the current head of the Xu family, Xu Shuncai, the honorary president of Seoul Medical University. Speaking of which, this is also the first time this treasure has appeared in Seoul Medical University. You are lucky!"
At the same time, Cui Minggui looked at Ye Feng and Tu Cangcang with pride in his eyes and said jokingly.
These damn Koreans are clearly trying to humiliate us...
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng clenched his five fingers tightly.
How could he not see that the reason why Seoul Medical University chose to exhibit the Heavenly Saint Bronze Man at this time was to disgust them.
Such an action is as if saying: Don’t you Chinese claim to be the source of ancient East Asian medical skills? Don’t you claim to value Chinese medicine? But so what? Your most precious treasure is still in our Goryeo!
But before Ye Feng could say anything, Tu Cangcang walked towards the bronze statue of Tiansheng without saying a word.
It is the real thing. This bronze man is not a replica that has appeared in past dynasties, but the real Heavenly Saint Bronze Man!
When he saw the bronze color of the Tiansheng Bronze Man and the markings of all the acupuncture points, Tu Cangcang's hands began to tremble and his face was full of excitement. He raised his hand and carefully touched the bronze man as if he was caressing the face of his lover.
Looking at Tu Cangcang's appearance, Ye Feng felt bitter in his heart.
The treasures of one's own country appeared in a foreign country. This feeling is unbearable for any Chinese person.
Cui Minggui had a smug smile on his face, especially when he saw the expressions on Tu Cangcang and Ye Feng's faces, he felt extremely satisfied in his heart, and the frustration caused by Ye Feng's ridicule in the car was swept away.
"Hello, the bronze man is precious. In order to preserve it properly, you can only look at it from a distance and cannot touch it!"
At this moment, before Tu Cangcang's hand touched the Tiansheng Bronze Man, a young man wearing a light pink suit, with a face as handsome as if he had walked out of a Goryeo idol drama, suddenly stood in front of Tu Cangcang and spoke fluent Chinese.
Tu Cangcang was stunned and his hands dropped weakly.
After the bronze figure was sculpted, it has been treated with anti-corrosion measures, so it will not be harmful if touched.
This young man's action was obviously telling her: This thing belongs to Goryeo now, not to you Chinese. You want to touch it? No way!
"Xu Chun, this is Tu Cangcang, a famous Chinese medicine expert. Principal Tu wants to touch the bronze man, so let her touch it." At the same time, Cui Minggui laughed and advised the young man with good intentions.
Is this guy Xu Chun, a young master of Korean medicine and an expert in using poison
Hearing the voice, Ye Feng immediately glanced at Xu Chun. His eyes changed and a strange smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"It's Principal Tu. I'm sorry. Please touch the bronze man, but be careful."
Xu Chun opened his mouth exaggeratedly, then turned sideways and stretched out his hand towards the bronze man.
"No need, I'll just take a look now."
Although Tu Cangcang really wanted to touch the bronze man and feel the traditional Chinese medicine heritage that had been passed down for nearly a thousand years, she tried her best to restrain the impulse in her heart and shook her head vigorously.
Since Xu Chun can speak Chinese and is a Korean doctor, there is no reason for him not to know who she is.
The reason why this guy stopped her verbally even though he knew who she was and understood that the bronze man could be touched at will, and then allowed her to touch the bronze man under Cui Minggui's arrangement, was clearly expressing an attitude: So what if this thing is Chinese? You can touch it only if I let you. If I don't let you touch it, you can only watch.
"Principal Tu, the bronze man exhibition will only be on today. If you don't fulfill your wish, you won't have another chance in the future..." Cui Minggui said with a smile upon seeing this.
However, when this guy spoke, there was sarcasm in his eyes that even his gold-rimmed glasses could not hide.
“No need…” Tu Cangcang looked deeply at the Heavenly Saint Bronze Man, then shook his head vigorously.
Cui Minggui was a little disappointed when he saw Tu Cangcang didn't touch it, and shook his head and said, "What a pity..."
"Nothing to regret." But before he could finish his words, Ye Feng suddenly walked up to Tu Cangcang with a smile on his face, squeezed the old man's arm, looked at the statue of the Heavenly Saint Bronze Man and said loudly: "I think Principal Cui, you don't understand why Mr. Tu doesn't touch the Heavenly Saint Bronze Man now, because Mr. Tu feels that it is better to touch the national treasure of a country on its own land!"
As soon as these words came out, Cui Minggui's expression immediately turned ugly.
Ye Feng's words clearly meant that he would win the four-school competition and bring the Heavenly Saint Bronze Man back to China.
“What a courage!”
At this moment, Xu Chun smiled at Ye Feng and said, "We in Goryeo have the courage to take out the Heavenly Saint Bronze Man as a bet for this four-school joint competition. I wonder what your country, which boasts of its vast territory and rich resources and profound cultural heritage, can come up with?"
"We won't lose!" Ye Feng said lightly.
Xu Chun's expression changed slightly, and then he said, "What if?"
"Nothing will happen..." Ye Feng smiled calmly, then looked at Xu Chun jokingly and said lightly: "But I do want to know, what do you want?"
"I want the light of traditional Chinese medicine! The complete prescription and the right to sell it!" Xu Chun's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he spoke word by word.
