China has a history of thousands of years, and in the process of these historical continuations, countless treasures have been bred, and people cannot help but sigh at the strength of Chinese culture. And now when people mention Chinese civilization, they will always say 5,000 years of inheritance, but in fact, it may be more than 5,000 years in the end, because there was a certain stage of fault in the ancient period, resulting in those civilizations not being recorded, and now there is no way to explore that period of history.
Ancient Chinese civilization all the way down, it looks like a heart-pounding history of war, people in ancient times through war to occupy territory, and then later into the feudal society will also through war to obtain sovereignty, so in these thousands of years of history war is always very common. When it comes to the impact of war, it may not only bring suffering to the common people, but also many cultural relics that inherit ancient culture have also been lost, especially those cultural relics with very high historical value, once destroyed, may bring unexpected losses, because people have no medium to study history, and there is no way to have a more comprehensive understanding of the society at that time.
Looking at the history of our country, we can see that there will probably be some historical materials handed down in each dynasty, and even if there is no historical record, some cultural relics will be excavated, and experts can explore the social situation at that time through these objects. However, there is a period that has left nothing of value that we cannot study, and that is the Yellow Emperor period. Just when people were trying their best to discover some cultural relics about this period, someone really stumbled upon a precious cultural relic, and experts calculated that it was a cultural relic from that period, and this cultural relic was a clay pot.
When this treasure came into existence, it was not mentioned that some people would associate its concept with precious cultural relics, because it did not look delicate and historically valuable at first glance like other ceramics, and it was purely a very inconspicuous object, like something that children kneaded out of mud. The pattern on it is also nothing special, not as delicate as other artifacts, so after it was excavated, no one planned to take it home.
A farmer felt that although it had no artistic value, he could also put something at home, so he took it back. He saw that others had picked up some treasures that looked very valuable, but he only picked up such a broken jar, and he felt that his face was disgraceful, and even the neighbors joked that he had picked up an urn and returned.
Back at home, when the farmer could not sleep at night, he began to savor the events of the day. He felt that they were all things dug out in one place, others picked up treasures that looked very valuable, and although the things he picked up were nothing special in appearance, they could be unearthed with the treasures, and they would certainly not be ordinary things.
Thinking of this, he suddenly became excited, and during the day he took the objects he had picked up to the museum. Experts see what he brings so ordinary, and don't take it seriously, don't study it carefully. However, later this object was accidentally heard by an expert from Beijing, conducted a comprehensive study of it, and finally concluded that this object is a cultural relic of the Yellow Emperor period, although it is the most common thing at that time, but its historical value can not be underestimated.
Since then, this once inconspicuous cultural relic has been protected, and in 2002 it became a first-class cultural relic that was never allowed to be exhibited abroad, because once it was to be exhibited abroad, it would definitely be moved, which could lead to damage to it. Later, many scholars concluded through research that the pattern on this jar was the prototype of later Chinese painting. At that time, the peasant who picked up this cultural relic also received a certain reward for cooperating with the state to collect cultural relics, and perhaps he did not think that a "broken jar" he picked up was so valuable and became an important medium for studying ancient history.
