In the history of the mainland for more than 5,000 years, peace and war have always been alternate events. A large number of cultural relics created by the ancients in peacetime will be plundered and lost when there is war, and it is not known where to scatter. The most serious loss of cultural relics is probably the end of the Qing Dynasty, because the weakness and corruption of the imperial court allowed the Western powers to wantonly rob the land of China, robbing an unknown number of cultural relics, and the losses were very heavy. Of course, in addition to the cultural relics that were robbed, there are many cultural relics that are forever left in the burial chamber as funerary items when those high-ranking officials and nobles are buried, and they are not known.
By chance, primary school students picked up a jade seal and handed in the national award of 20 yuan, and 45 years later, experts came to the door again. What's going on? It happened in the 1960s, when the country was still under construction, and many areas were very backward, transportation was very inconvenient, and children in the countryside could only walk to school. Kong Zhongliang was born in such an ordinary small rural area. Kong Zhongliang's parents are honest farmers, and they hope that their son can study well and get ahead and make a big career. Because both parents need to be busy with farm work, Kong Zhongliang walked to school alone.
One day in 1968, Kong Zhongliang also walked to school on his own as usual, and he liked to go to the canal after a day of study, when he found a small shining stone with a pattern engraved on it, which looked strange and beautiful, and he took the stone home. Kong Zhongliang took home this stone to his brother to see, the brother has a little more knowledge, think it should be a seal, so the two people want to carve their names on this seal, but unfortunately the stone texture is very hard, did not succeed.
At that time, their father was about to enter the city, so the brothers wanted their father to carry this seal to find someone to engrave, and their father found the cadre of the brigade and asked him what it was. The cadres of the brigade felt that this was like a piece of jade seal of an ancient person, and did not dare to be contemptuous, so they sent this stone to the relevant departments for experts to judge, confirming that this was a very exquisite jade seal.
The research value of this piece of jade seal is quite large, because the place where Kong Zhongliang picked up this stone at that time was not far from the burial place of Liu Bang and Lü Hou, and experts speculated that this jade seal should be related to Lü Hou. After knowing that this was a cultural relic, Kong Zhongliang simply handed over the jade seal, and the government was very touched to see that Kong Zhongliang's father and son were so honest that they picked up the cultural relics and did not swallow or sell them, but handed them to the state. The reward gave him 20 yuan for the road.
And after 45 years of this incident, the expert came to the door again and gave Kong Zhongliang a donation book, and he remembered that he had such an experience when he was a child. The fact that primary school students picked up a jade seal and handed over the 20 yuan awarded by the state also spread like this, which triggered a lot of discussion in society. Some people think that this reward is too little, after all, it is a cultural relic, how to say that the reward should be more generous, and some people appreciate the sincere character of this child who can take the initiative to hand over cultural relics to the state.
Now, this jade seal, which was rumored to have been used by Lü Hou, has been collected into the Shaanxi Museum, and the treatment in the museum can be said to be the treasure of the town hall. In fact, each of us should thank Kong Zhongliang, if he had not picked up this cultural relic, without his act of picking up the cultural relics and handing them over to the state, then this jade seal may have disappeared forever in the dirt of the time and is not known, so we should respect the contributions made by this primary school student.
