Went to Mr. Zhang's house in the county town to play, and found that Mr. Zhang's family hall had an antique eight immortals table.
Mr. Zhang is now in his eighties.
Mr. Zhang said that this eight-immortal table is all date wood, and it is all jujube wood core material. This eight-immortal table was handed down by his grandparents, and it should have been more than a hundred years old.
Mr. Zhang said that in the past, their family lived in the countryside, and this jujube eight immortals table had always been placed in the countryside. It is said that this jujube eight immortals table was also used in war before liberation. At that time, it seemed that the government forces had attacked the bandit fortress with this eight-immortal table covered with a wet cotton quilt as a shield.
Mr. Zhang pointed to a nest on the table and said to me that it was the bullet of the gun at that time.
I took a closer look at this quaint eight-immortal table. Her shape is dignified and atmospheric, the material is excellent, the workmanship is fine, and the pulp is thick and brilliant.
It is a pity that the exquisitely carved parts of the four-sided tooth plate are gone. Mr. Zhang said that these carvings used to be good, and later their children loved to play with them when they were young, and some of them were broken. The four corners of this jujube eight immortals table should have been copper-clad, but now there is no more, only brilliant copper nails.
I think that this eight immortals table, although ordinary, but its more than a hundred years of history, excellent materials, exquisite workmanship and related historical stories are still not ordinary, so I share it with you to see, may you watch a happy.
