As we all know, Our country is an ancient civilization with a long history, and such a long history, in addition to making our cultural precipitation thicker, also left us with a lot of rich cultural relics. Most of these artifacts are exquisitely shaped and date back to a long time, symbolizing the artistic style or technical level of an era, which is very helpful for studying the culture of a particular dynasty. Moreover, the literary antiquities themselves are of great value, coupled with the blessing of culture, the meaning of its existence is even more precious. Therefore, in china's dynasties and dynasties, those who are rich and noble often like to collect one or two antiques to show their identity.

And in our country's ancient antiques are mostly excavated by the people themselves, there are many farmers who do not know the goods can not know that this is antiques, so often with these priceless treasures to do some chicken and dog pieces of small things, and even may lead to the destruction of cultural relics. For example, during the Yuan Dynasty in China, there was a small official named Li Shunfu, who almost destroyed a precious cultural relic because he did not know the goods, and this cultural relic was the bronze ware of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and it was also a rare national treasure of Our country, "Xi Jia Pan".

It turned out that Li Shunfu was able to get the Xijia plate, which was also a coincidence, at that time he was handling a case in the local area, and happened to find this plate in a farmhouse there, so out of a momentary interest, he spent some silver to buy this plate from the original owner. Later, because Li Shunfu did not know its value, he even used it as a frying pan, and knocked off the three feet under it for convenience, resulting in the destruction of cultural relics.

Then such an important Xijia plate has been used by Li Shunfu as a frying pan, until one day, when an official named Xian Yushu came to Li Shunfu's house as a guest, because he inadvertently caught a glimpse of more than one hundred and thirty gold inscriptions engraved on the plate, he who loved calligraphy immediately woke up to realize that this may be a cultural relic, and then after careful observation, Xian Yushu discovered the preciousness of the Xijia plate. Then the plate naturally fell into the hands of Xian Yushu and has been properly preserved by him.

After that, the Xijia plate has passed through several generations of collectors' hands, and finally fell into the late Qing Dynasty after Chen Jieqi. The collection record of the Xijia plate has also disappeared since Chen Jieqi, and he does not know where to go, and most of the things that appear on the market later are imitations.

Then until 2010, a patriotic rich man in China actually found this precious cultural relic at a small auction in the United States, and the original cultural relics that were so important were actually in the process of wandering and unfortunately wandered abroad.

Therefore, out of national pride, the patriotic rich man immediately paid for it to be photographed and sent it to the mainland for exhibition in 2014. Finally, in 2017, this ill-fated jia plate was successfully traded for 180 million yuan, plus the auction commission, which was worth as much as 210 million yuan, which was a well-deserved value.
