Sometimes not being able to discern the pearl will lead to the loss of the pearl and regret for a lifetime. If you mention the most valuable things, many people first think of gold, diamonds and other things. These things are all valuable things, and the real priceless treasure is not only these. Cultural relics and antiques are one of these priceless treasures, but many people only know gold jadeite, but it is difficult to be a hero for antique cultural relics. There was once an ancient painting that was a national treasure, but it was abandoned.
The story takes place in Gaoyou City, Jiangsu Province, in the 1970s, where a remote farmer wants to rebuild his house and is demolishing his old house. When demolished to the wall, a column-like thing was accidentally revealed from the crack in the wall. The owner of the house did not think much of it and continued to tear down the wall, but when the wall gap became larger and larger, the thing fell to the ground and made a sound, and slid round and rolled to the foot. The owner of the house hurried to check what was making a sound, only to see that the column-shaped thing was a wooden box, and after carefully opening the wooden box, he found that inside was a scroll wrapped in more than ten layers of oil paper.
Curious, the owner of the house called the scroll and found that the scrolls were all small holes that had been mothed by insects, and it could be guessed that the scrolls had some years. When I opened the scroll, I found that it was an ancient painting wrapped in oil paper, and the owner of the house was a white ding who could not read a big character, and when he saw this ancient painting, he did not think much about it, but only felt that there was no difference in the rags in his eyes, and he was ready to lose it. But the daughter-in-law of the owner of the house is a cautious person, she persuaded her husband not to discard, hidden in the wall for many years, must be a treasure handed down from the ancestors, even if it is tattered, it is also an antiquity, can not be lost! It is better to sell it to the heritage store and sell it for some money. Although the daughter-in-law of the owner of the house knows the goods and knows that it is an antiquity, she does not understand the true value of this antiquity.
When the husband and wife came to the cultural relics store with ancient paintings, the owner of the cultural relics and antique shop failed to recognize that this was a valuable cultural relic, and they all refused to buy it. The husband and wife ran to many cultural relics stores to find a buyer, but even if the owner of the cultural relics store was willing to buy, the purchase price was only 5 yuan. The couple felt that 5 yuan was better than discarding it, so they sold the painting with a big wave. The owner of the cultural relics store also has a heart eye, he knows that maybe it is not worth much now, but it will be worth it if it is not balanced in the future. Fast forward to ten years later, in 1986, the State Administration of Cultural Relics began to search for cultural relics scattered in the country, so it sent a group of elites to search for cultural relics all over the country, and the painting also appeared in front of cultural relics experts. After identification, it was found that this painting was the pinnacle of the famous painter Ni Zhan of the Yuan Dynasty, called "Moss Tree Shadow Map", which has a history of 600 years. Cultural relics experts proposed to buy, and finally the painting was sold for 100,000 pieces, and in just ten years, it rose from five yuan to 100,000 yuan.
Now that the painting has become the treasure of the town hall in Gansu Province, promoted to a national treasure level cultural relic, money can no longer measure the value of this painting. Time flies, today is different from the past, cultural relics are priceless, even if the price doubles in ten years, it can not measure the true value of cultural relics.
