Ten years of cold window no one asked, in one fell swoop to become famous in the world knows, the highest ideal of ancient readers, is to be able to enter the court to show a grand plan. From the child test, the township test, the meeting test, the temple test and other multiple assessments, the difficulty of the examination is very high, Fan Jinzhong can be happy to go crazy, and the champion is the existence of the proud son of heaven. Since the Sui Dynasty founded the imperial examination, in the long period of more than a thousand years, only more than 770 yuan have appeared, and the number of yuan examination papers left in the Golden Temple countermeasures is now even less, and each one is a valuable national treasure.
An old man named Zhao Jiguang from Zhengmu Village in Qingzhou, Shandong Province, is an ordinary farmer who often fiddles with some ancestral antiques, although most of them are old objects of low value, but he still enjoys it. And the neighbors around them all know that in fact, the old man's father, Zhao Huanbin, once had a unique treasure in his hand, and if he had to measure it in money, it would now be a few hundred million at his fingertips. Speaking of the origin of this treasure, it goes back to more than 400 years ago during the Ming Dynasty Wanli Period, Zhao Jiguang's ancestor Zhao Jiguang was the Right Attendant of the Rebbe, and Zhao Bingzhong, the son of Zhao Bingzhong, was even more blue out of blue, and in the twenty-sixth year of the Wanli Calendar (1598), he was a high school champion, and then successively served as a bachelor, a rebbe waiter, and a rebbe Shangshu, and held a high position. And the most precious heirloom he left for future generations is his own copy of the scroll!
The paper is divided into 19 folds of albums, each folding 47.6 cm high and 14.1 cm wide. Its 2460 words, summed up the lessons of the emperors of the past dynasties to govern the country, put forward ten suggestions for governing the country and security, the whole text is not a single mistake, the shortcomings of the needle are justified, and the imperial title "The first first place" was personally written by the Wanli Emperor! The ancient Yuan's answer sheet was a very important palace archive, and it was a felony to take it out of the palace without permission, and Zhao Bingzhong did not know what method was used, but when he offended Wei Zhongxian in his later years and was forced to resign and return to his hometown, he secretly brought out this examination paper. Since then, the Yuanyuan Scroll has become a family heirloom treasure that has been passed down from the Zhao family in Qingzhou, and generations of people have carefully followed the ancestral precepts, no matter what kind of war and chaos occur in the future, the descendants of the Zhao family will also keep this ancestral glory when they are scattered.
In the 1980s, nearly 400 years, the Zhao family has long ceased to be prosperous, and Zhao Bingzhong's 13th grandson, Zhao Huanbin, is a gentle and generous local farmer. He wrapped the scroll tightly, carried it with him when he went out, hid it in his pillow at night, and no matter how poor he was, he never had the idea of selling the treasure. Zhao Huanbin did not have any other hobbies, he liked to drink some wine after doing farm work, once he accidentally leaked the situation of the Yuanyuan scroll after getting drunk, the news spread very quickly, and it did not take long for the whole village to know, and then it was transmitted to Wei Zhensheng, an expert at the Qingzhou Cultural Relics Management Institute. Wei Zhensheng checked the information, at that time, there was no Ming Dynasty scroll in the world that was preserved, and the one that Zhao Huanbin's ancestors passed down could be described as an orphan product at home and abroad, a priceless treasure!
Deeply aware of the preciousness of this national treasure, Wei Zhensheng showed twelve points of sincerity, from the cultural relics management office to Zhengmu Village dozens of kilometers of road, he insisted on riding a bicycle every day to visit the door, Xiaozhi with emotional reason, and Zhao Huanbin patiently explained the cultural value and historical research value of this volume. I just want him to hand over the national treasure, because it is safer to put it in the museum than to put it at home. But Zhao Huanbin was definitely not happy, it had been passed on for hundreds of years, how could he easily turn it in? He deliberately said that he had lost it and could not find it. Wei Zhensheng was extremely patient, did not agree to continue, and also communicated with Zhao Huanbin's son, that is, Zhao Jiguang mentioned above, and when he learned that the Scroll was still hidden at home, he insisted on persuading the old man to turn it in. When Wei Zhensheng came to Zhao Huanbin's house for the 24th time, the old man was finally impressed by his sincerity, took out from under the bed the scroll wrapped in layers of old oilcloth, and handed it over.
The world is left with this Ming Dynasty scroll, which makes the Qingzhou Museum the only national first-class museum in the county. However, it was also stolen by the museum's security guards in 1991, and almost sold it for 1.5 million, but wan fortunately finally found it back, so as not to live up to the expectations of the elderly Zhao Huanbin. In addition to giving the elderly a certificate of honor, the state also specially copied a copy of the title scroll to him. In 2017, the reporter came to Zhengmu Village again, the elderly Zhao Huanbin has passed away, and his son Zhao Jiguang admitted in the interview that he and his father did not regret handing over the heirloom to the state, because the discovery of the Yuanyuan scroll did bring a great sensation and made great contributions to academic research.
