Since Qin Shi Huang founded the emperor system in 221 BC and became the first emperor in China's history, the emperor system has been handed down, and after thousands of years, until the fall of Yuan Shikai in 1916, the feudal imperial system that ruled China for thousands of years was completely abolished, opening a new milestone for the Chinese nation. Although the feudal monarchy has perished, many precious items of the royal family have been left behind, and some of them have been exiled to the people.
In 2014, Li Laohan, who lives in a remote mountain village in Nanyang, Henan Province, wanted to demolish the old house behind the new house and build a utility room dedicated to storing miscellaneous items, but Li Laohan, who was over 70 years old, had no strength to move wood, so he could only call his son to move all these things. While cleaning up the clutter, Old Han Li found a dusty wooden bed in the corner of the room. This wooden bed is full of spider webs and falling dust, which looks very dirty, but it can be clearly seen that this bed is not simple.
Under the cooperation of Li Laohan and his son, the two finally moved this wooden bed outdoors, and after cleaning, they found that this wooden bed was very delicate, the color of the bed was yellow-orange, full of cloud patterns and a mighty dragon, full of royal majesty and elegant luster, people lay on it very quickly calm down and sleep peacefully. Much like the emperor's resting bed in the TV series. But Old Han Li was not sure, after all, he did not know why there was such a bed at home.
After hearing about this incident, the Cultural Relics Bureau rushed to Li Laohan's home to show his identity and said that he wanted to verify the authenticity of the ancient bed, and when the experts saw the ancient bed full of majesty, they were shocked, and through research, they found that the right leg of the ancient bed was engraved with the words "Hongwu Thirteen Years". "Hongwu" is the name of Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, that is to say, this dragon bed is the dragon bed that Zhu Yanzhang once used, which has a very high historical research value, not only that, but also has a certain research value for the handmade art of the ancients, and the value in the market is at least more than 100 million yuan. In order to bring this cultural relic worth hundreds of millions of dollars back to the museum, the expert proposed to Li Laohan a request to hand over the cultural relics to the state free of charge.
For the requirements of the experts, although Li Laohan was a little reluctant, he also understood the importance of cultural relics to the country and immediately agreed to the requirements for handing in cultural relics. The spiritual experts of Li Laohan's selfless dedication were very touched, and reported li Laohan's deeds to the museum, in order to repay Li Laohan's contribution, the experts awarded him a certificate of "meritorious contribution to handing over cultural relics" and a reward of 500 yuan. Today, this dragon bed is treasured in the museum and has become a rare thing in China.
