"Augmenting the Sages": Gentlemen love wealth and have a way to get it; virgins love sex and accept it with courtesy. Confucius believes that there is money and status, which everyone aspires to, but if it is not obtained by the way of "Tao", gentlemen are unacceptable, and Confucius does not clearly explain what the "Tao" is, so does the behavior of the old Song of Sichuan conform to the "Tao"?
Chengdu folk have always circulated a folk song: stone cow to stone drum, silver 10,000.5 million. Some people recognized it and bought all the Chengdu Province. According to legend, when the Qing army entered the pass, there was a war in Sichuan, Zhang Xianzhong (the founder of the Daxi regime) withdrew from Chengdu after the defeat of the army, and when he fled to Pengshan County, there was a conflict with Yang Zhan, a bureaucrat in western Sichuan, and all the gold, silver and treasure were sunk by Zhang Xianzhong.
This folk song is Zhang Xianzhong's treasure for the "Great Western Kingdom", as to whether it is true or false, no one can say clearly, but according to the historical records recorded in the Qing Dynasty, there is indeed a record of Zhang Xianzhong's thousand ships sinking silver. In "Shu Bi", it is said: (Zhang) Xianzhongwen (Yang) zhan army is very strong, great fear, led 100,000 troops, loaded thousands of gold treasures, down the river east, and fought a decisive battle with Zhan.
In the "Shu Difficulty Chronicle" for Shen Yin has more detailed records, according to legend, in 1646, the Qing army entered the river, Zhang Xianzhong took gold and silver out of the river, because the silver was too much, the wooden boat could not be loaded, Zhang Xianzhong let people build a lot of wooden slots, and put the silver ingots inside, let it drift down, but then was sniped, the wooden boats were also sunk to the bottom.
Although Pengshan County has always had the legend of sinking silver, but for hundreds of years, no one has touched the good things from the water, in 2005, Pengshan County began to build a drinking water project, the construction team in the Minjiang River "Tiger Beach" area with excavators to dig the trench of the pipeline, did not expect to dig out 10 silver ingots.
These 10 silver ingots were cast with the words "Chongzhen SixteenTh Year august, tattooed silver fifty two", Min Jiang dug out the treasure is a pass of ten to ten hundred, but at that time in addition to these 10 silver ingots did not dig out anything useful, naturally did not attract much attention.
However, people who have lived in Pengshan County for generations know that this should be Zhang Xianzhong's treasure, and soon Pengshan County set off a rush for gold, even a tomb robbery gang has targeted here, saying that this tomb robbery gang is very "dedicated", since 2005, they have been looking for It in Minjiang, but they are like the villagers, they are fruitless.
In 2013, old Song, who returned to his hometown from other places, suddenly talked about this matter with his neighbors, old Song's ancestors were treasure keepers, but to his grandfather's generation was basically lost, leaving only a last word that Min Jiang had a baby, the family conditions of old Song were not very good, the old mother took medicine all year round, and the son was busy getting married.
Old Song thought that anyway is also the treasure of his own guards, there is no problem in salvaging it, Old Song dived into the water that night, he remembered that his grandfather often mentioned the fork of the river, did not expect to touch down, touched a thing, surfaced to see a golden tiger.
Three days later, Old Song asked his son to find someone to identify it, and he did not expect that someone would bid 13.6 million yuan, but what made Old Song even more unexpected was that this was not an ordinary golden tiger, but a gold seal, and after this gold seal flowed into the market, the tomb robber gang noticed it for the first time. Once again, they came to Minjiang.
In 2015, a large number of silver ingots and even gold seals and gold books were flowed out of the market, of which the gold seal was also engraved with "Yongchang Grand Marshal Seal, The Midwinter Auspicious Day Of the Decay Year", experts realized that these were Zhang Xianzhong Shenbao, and soon the police also intervened, and the Sichuan Cultural Relics Department immediately carried out rescue excavations.
From 2016 to 2017, there were more than 30,000 cultural relics in the water, Zhang Xianzhong Shenbao is not a legend, as for Lao Song because of the resale of cultural relics, he was sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment.
