In 1966, in Changsha, Hunan Province, Li Hui of the Cultural Relics Bureau and a young couple said: "These gold yuan treasures are too precious, they may be cultural relics, I think you still hand them over, I will take them back for safekeeping..."
The couple is an honest farmer in the village, although the family is poor, but hard work, husband and son, the family life is also OK.
On this day, the couple's two children, Liu De, went to his uncle's house for dinner, and when he came back, because the road was muddy, Liu De walked from the field on the side of the road. When passing through a barren meadow, I suddenly found that there were several yellow and brilliant things in the meadow.
The child was curious, so he went up to check it out, and it turned out that the rain had washed away the dirt, revealing several things that looked like gold dollars. Liu De didn't think much of it and brought home a few gold yuan treasures that were exposed outside.
After returning home, my parents were really shocked to see what Liu De brought back, which was 8 genuine gold yuanbao. In those days, broken copper and rotten iron were valuable, let alone such a large gold treasure.
Liu De's parents' first thought was whether liu de had stolen it from somewhere. After some inquiry, I learned the truth of the matter. Liu De's parents thought to themselves that the child did not know the gold, and maybe there was still that place.
Then his parents came to the barren meadow with their tools and kept churning, and this scene was discovered by the villagers who passed by. In the small talk, Liu De's father accidentally slipped his mouth and said that Liu De had picked up Jin Yuanbao.
As a result, one pass ten, ten passed a hundred, the news that the Liu family's children had picked up the gold yuanbao was soon spread throughout the village. As a result, the whole village exploded, and everyone came to "treasure hunting" with hoes and shovels.
After the village learned the news, it felt that the matter was not simple, and was afraid of making trouble, so it informed the commune, and the commune reported the matter to the Hunan Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau.
A cultural relics commissioner named Li Hui was sent to the scene to find out about the situation. Subsequently, Li Hui and the village chief found Liu De's parents and met the 8 gold yuanbao.
After seeing the gold yuanbao, Li Hui was stunned, this is not only a pure gold yuanbao, but also from the style point of view, the age is long, at least hundreds of years of history, this is a very precious cultural relic.
Li Huiqiang suppressed the excitement in her heart and told Liu De's parents that this may be a cultural relic of the state, or hand it over for proper storage.
At that time, although people were poor, their "ideological consciousness" was generally relatively high. The two mouths listened to it, it was a national thing, and they hurriedly handed over 8 gold yuan treasures.
Li Hui, who returned to the bureau, immediately made a detailed report on the matter and said that the 8 gold yuanbao may have been washed out due to continuous rainfall, and there must be something there.
Immediately, the Antiquities Bureau quickly formed an archaeological team and sealed off the place. After the exploration and excavation of the archaeological team, an ancient tomb was found in the place where Liu De picked up the gold yuanbao, and the scale was not small, and the archaeological team took 28 days to enter the tomb.
After entering the tomb, everyone was stunned, and the ground was densely covered with various pottery, porcelain, jade and other gold and silver jewelry. Finally, after detailed statistics, a total of 149 exquisite cultural relics were excavated.
In addition, archaeologists also found an epitaph in the tomb, and subsequently, the identity of the owner of the tomb was also revealed, and it was indeed a figure with a not low status. He was a scholar of the Southern Chu Wenyuan University during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period: Ge Dashou.
But the irony is that although this Ge Dashou is an official to a university scholar, he is illiterate and illiterate, and he can get to this step entirely by relying on the mouth of the horse.
It turned out that more than 1,000 years ago, this was the hometown of Ge Dashou. Ge Dashou was originally a poor peasant, but although Ge Dashou was poor, he had the "ambition of the great crane", and in 925 AD, Ge Dashou left his hometown and came to Tanzhou, the capital of Southern Chu.
When he first arrived, Ge Dashou was not familiar with the land, had no financial resources, and worked as a guy in a tavern in order to make a living. Ge Dashou was cheerful and sociable by nature, and made many friends with his kung fu of sneaking and patting horses.
Later, through the introduction of friends, He married Ma Xisheng, the crown prince of the Southern Chu Kingdom, and Ma Xisheng was very popular with Ge Dashou's set of sneaking horses, and soon after getting along, he took Ge Dashou with him and regarded him as a confidant.
In 930, the crown prince Ma Xisheng succeeded to the throne and became the second monarch of Southern Chu, so Ge Dashou followed The Yellow Tengda and became famous.
After Ge Dashou's death, the Southern Chu State Built a high-standard tomb for him in his hometown of Changsha, Hunan Province, and rewarded him with a large number of precious funerary items.
But what is amazing is that in the past thousand years, Ge Dashou's tomb has never been stolen by tomb thieves...
