In 2014, there was an old man in Hunan named Yi Shaobai. His family has a piece of the ancestors left behind by the "general soldier waist card", this waist plate is actually an ordinary copper waist card, as for its value from the surface, in fact, there is no value, but after all, the old man's ancestors handed down, this waist card represents that his ancestors were too big people.
We all know that every TV station in the previous year was full of various treasure hunting programs, and many of them also advertised that "so-and-so well-known experts can be free treasures for anyone." The old man also saw such a program every day, for a long time, he was also moved, he wanted to take this waist card handed down by his ancestors, find an expert to identify it, and see if he was worth it?
One day, the old man was idle, so he took his baby waist card and came to the place designated by the expert. Then he handed the waist plate to the expert, let the expert help to identify it, the expert carefully checked the waist card, told the old man, this is the general soldier waist card during the Qing Dynasty, is the real thing.
Experts also said that this waist plate has a great role in the study of history and culture, which is also an important cultural relic of the country. Therefore, at that time, experts persuaded the old man to hand over this waist plate to the Cultural Relics Bureau and let the Cultural Relics Bureau keep it on its behalf. If it is placed in his hands, if it is not properly protected, it is likely to be lost or damaged, and it is the best and safest way to put it in the museum for safekeeping. At that time, the experts did not value the old man's waist card, but strongly advised him to turn it in.
Who knows that the old man is very unhappy after hearing it, this is my ancestors handed down, why should I turn it in? I don't pay.
However, the experts did not give up on this, and at this time, several experts who claimed to be in a certain field came over and explained to the old man the laws and regulations for handing over cultural relics. But the old man still resolutely did not hand it over after listening, and the old man also told the expert that not only would he not teach, but after he died, he would also pass on this waist card, and he would not let his descendants turn it in, so that the expert died of this heart, and after saying it, the old man left in anger.
Later, the old man also told reporters why he did not hand over this waist card, because this waist card is very important to his family. After all, this is handed down from his ancestors, proving that his ancestors have been a high official, and it is also an honor in his family, and the purpose of his coming to treasure is only out of curiosity, that is, to know whether this waist card is real.
But in fact, no matter how valuable this waist card is, it is a very precious treasure for the elderly. Finally, he also said that he would keep it well, and he would treat the waist card as an heirloom, let it be passed down from generation to generation, and let future generations know that their ancestors were a great figure.
As for the old man's reluctance to hand in heirlooms, what do you think? To put it again, although there are regulations, whether it is above ground or underground or anywhere in the water, as long as it is an excavated cultural relic, it belongs to the national cultural relics, and you must unconditionally hand it in. However, for some ancestral ones, there are also ancestors who have been rewarded by the emperor, and so on, and the excavated stolen cultural relics, it is not the same thing at all.
First of all, the things handed down from the ancestors, this part of the thing is a personal item, you don't care about its value, it has a legitimate heir, as long as the person is unwilling, no one has the right to force him to hand it in, you say right?
Even if it is its legitimate heir, it may sell these artifacts overseas for money, which is also their right, isn't it? She herself may be condemned, but you can't control it, because its cultural relics are not illegally obtained, others cannot interfere, this is his freedom.
Experts, in fact, only have the right to suggest that they be handed in, and there is no right to force them to turn in. Sometimes I really can't understand these experts, anyway, I always feel that they want to persuade others to turn them in when they see good things, and you have to know that it is someone else's private property.
I don't know what you think about this kind of thing? If you have your own opinion, please type in the comments section, thank you!
Thanks for the thumbs up!
