How much is a terracotta warrior worth in Qin Shi Huang, and someone has made an "estimate" with his life, you will not believe it
Chinese culture has been around for 5,000 years, with a long history and countless cultural relics of various dynasties and generations, and these treasures have been passed down to this day, and we will continue to cherish them with our hearts in the future. In 1974, more than 7,000 well-preserved terracotta warriors that shocked the world were excavated, and the value of these terracotta warriors was immeasurable and invaluable.
The phenomenon of reselling cultural relics still exists to some extent, and in the black market, they value cultural relics and resell them, and these valuations are also accurate. However, the terracotta army that has attracted the attention of the world has been protected layer by layer from the time of excavation, and there is no information about its resale on the black market, so its value is unknown, but people's curiosity is strong, even at the cost of life, it is necessary to try to estimate the value of the terracotta army.
At the end of 2018, one of the fingers of the Terracotta Army, the thumb, was quietly taken away by an American tourist, which was not discovered until the beginning of 2019, and after the discovery caused an uproar, the American was accused by people from all walks of life, and everyone was responsible for protecting cultural relics, and people condemned his actions.
The value of cultural relics is immeasurable, not to mention that this is a thousand years of inheritance, but also has a feeling, these cultural relics are the priceless treasures of our country. After an investigation, the American thief was found by the museum and, after some wasted effort, also repaired his fingers. As for the finger compensation, the external report at the time was 28.55 million yuan guaranteed.
In 1987, when the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin was just unearthed, when scientific and technological products were not yet popular, some people had the audacity to go to successfully steal the Terracotta Warriors. The police have difficulty in tracking down, and the thief Wang Gengdi has not taken this to the black market to sell, and the difficulty of investigation has greatly increased.
Wang Gengdi concealed that the cultural relics to be sold were the head of a terracotta warrior, and did not disclose the news until everything was negotiated and ready to change hands, and the police immediately referred him to the law through these clues. The archaeological team recovered the fingers of the cultural relics that were still intact, and Wang Gengdi was also punished as he deserved. Wang was sentenced to death, and he probably didn't understand why stealing something was a death sentence.
Although stealing cultural relics is no longer a death sentence, what is so bad about being a legal citizen? Stealing is a bad thing, so we should put an end to it. Cultural relics are preserved by a dynasty and are cultural inheritance, so it is our responsibility to protect cultural relics. Therefore, the theft of cultural relics is a matter of principle, a moral issue, even if it is returned later, but this also more or less caused a lot of damage. We must pursue history and increase the protection of cultural relics.
