On May 28, 2017, the first day of the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, in the ancient village of Weiji in Huimin, Shandong, the reporter encountered a scam called "Vase Girl Art Exhibition". According to the staff, as long as you spend 10 yuan to buy tickets, you can see the legendary "vase girl".
The text introduction on the exhibition board shows that the vase girl came to Weiji Ancient Village for the first time, had no arms and legs, could talk and sing, and could answer various questions.
After purchasing the ticket, someone took the reporter to a house, and there was a special guard at the door, which seemed very mysterious.
In the corner of the room, there is a square table raised by bricks, and on the table there is a square box covered with a black cloth.
Subsequently, a staff member first introduced the situation of the vase girl, saying that she was physically disabled, very weak, and had been put into the vase since childhood, and could ask questions, but could not touch the vase girl. At the same time, special emphasis is placed on the strict prohibition of photography. The picture shows the vase girl exposed after pulling open the black cloth, showing only her head.
Through dialogue, the vase girl said that she was 18 years old, was put into a vase at a very young age, and usually only drank milk to maintain her life, because she was weak and spoke very quietly. The reporter is about one meter away from the vase girl, and needs to listen carefully to hear clearly, and the whole viewing process is less than 1 minute.
Compared with the vase girl and the ticket sign, the appearance difference is huge. In fact, the vase girl is just a trick to deceive people in scenic spots, which is an old trick of the jianghu. This deception uses the principle of refraction of light, only a simple experiment can be revealed, find two square glass mirrors, put the two mirrors at right angles, the light faces outward, erected on the table, and then put a vase a foot high at the intersection of the two mirrors, so that a female classmate stands behind the mirror, and the body is just blocked by the mirror.
This picture is a good illustration of the "Vase Girl" scam (image from the Internet). The person's chin is placed on the mouth of the vase, and then the cloth curtain is used to surround the surrounding area into a semicircle, and the edge of the mirror is obscured, and a "vase girl" is born. With the soft lighting, there is no flaw at all. Because the body of the "vase girl" is blocked by the mirror, the viewer sees that under the human head is a reflection of two mirrors to the semi-circular cloth curtain, it seems that the vase is surrounded by space, and the human head seems to grow on the vase. Dragon Boat Festival, if you go out to travel and encounter such a scam, you must pay attention to it.
