Villagers in Xinjiang dug up a piece of porcelain, refused to buy 200,000 yuan and handed it over to the state, experts: there are only 2 pieces in the world

"Tao Ge" once said: "The blue flowers are thick and faint, and the magnetic billet surface is wide." "In the development process of the ancient porcelain industry, the production of blue and white porcelain is relatively difficult, and the excavation of blue and white porcelain cultural relics will inevitably trigger a huge sensation in the field of cultural relics collection and research."

In the process of modern China's social development, based on the continuous advancement of construction in various parts of China, many buried treasures have been reproduced in the world, showing the true features of ancient history to the world. By understanding the development process of China's archaeology, we will find that the discovery and excavation of some cultural relics have a certain coincidence.

Once, in the process of cultivating the land in Xinjiang, he accidentally dug up a piece of national treasure porcelain, and in the face of the cultural relics dealer's request for 200,000 yuan, he politely declined and decided to hand it over to the state. After the relevant experts identified the porcelain, they said that this is only two treasures in the world. What is the origin of this precious porcelain? After this porcelain was unearthed, what kind of development did China's archaeological cause have?

At the end of the 1990s, the economic development level of Xinjiang was relatively backward, and the life of farmers was naturally more difficult. Although most of the peasants were given the land division, in some villages, there were still some useless parcels of land. For farmers, soil parcels cannot be cultivated like arable land, and the soil on it is useless except to build new houses.

In 1999, a carpenter in Xinjiang planned to build a house out of dirt, and villager Ma Zhong joined the digging team. In the process of digging the soil, Ma Zhong accidentally dug up a hard object, but Ma Zhong, who thought it was a stone block, felt that the situation was not right, so he took out the hard object by hand. After some cleaning, Ma Zhong found that the hard object dug out was a fine porcelain pot. After just digging out the porcelain pot, Ma Zhong did not realize that the porcelain pot may be a national cultural relic, and when the people in the village saw Ma Zhong's accidental discovery, they dug up on the dirt bag.

Compared with Ma Zhong, the luck of others was not very good, and they failed to dig out the precious porcelain pot, and after the news of this incident spread, many people came to Ma Zhong's home to see the porcelain pot. As the news spread more and more widely, Ma Zhong's home even became a spot for nearby people to "punch in", and even a "collector of cultural relics" found Ma Zhong and bid 200,000 yuan, hoping to buy this porcelain pot.

Hearing that the other party had bid 200,000 yuan, Ma Zhong began to doubt the value of the porcelain pot. Faced with the requests of the cultural relics dealers, Ma Zhongyi politely refused and decided to hand over the porcelain pot to the local cultural relics department. In fact, when he first learned of the precious value of the porcelain pot, Ma Zhong did not think of handing it over to the state, but hoped to treasure the porcelain pot at home and pass it on as an heirloom.

However, after the news of Ma Zhong's discovery of the porcelain pot came to the village, many thieves came to the village and planned to steal the porcelain pot. The peaceful life of the whole village was broken, and Ma Zhong, who was overwhelmed by the trouble, finally made up his mind to hand over the porcelain pot to the state to ensure the stability of the villagers and their families.

When the relevant experts inspected this porcelain pot, they found that this porcelain pot was the Yuanqinghua Fengshou flat pot. In the 1970s, the Fengshou flat pot treasured by the Capital Museum was excavated in the Beijing Drum Tower Cellar, and unlike the porcelain pot found by Ma Zhong, the first fengshou flat pot was broken into 48 pieces.

After consulting the relevant historical materials, it can be found that in the process of ancient historical development, there are two flat pots of yuanqinghua phoenix heads, of which one is male and female. When Ma Zhong handed over this treasure to the state, the content of China's research on the Yuanqinghua Phoenix-headed Flat Pot was correspondingly improved. As a national treasure-level cultural relic, the birth of the Yuanqinghua Fengshou flat pot successfully filled the gaps in the study of blue and white porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty, and in order to reward Ma Zhong for handing in cultural relics, the local museum specially approved a 1,000 yuan prize for him.

For a farmer, it is obviously a windfall to get a 1,000 yuan bonus, but many of Ma Zhong's neighbors said that this yuan qinghua phoenix flat pot is as high as thousands or even hundreds of millions of yuan in the cultural relics market, and the move to hand over to the state has made Ma Zhong miss the opportunity to get rich. But Ma Zhong said that although he did not have any knowledge and culture, he understood that it was illegal to sell cultural relics without authorization.

Since then, the Yuanqinghua Fengshou Flat Pot has been treasured in the Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture Museum in Xinjiang, while another Fengshou Flat Pot has continued to remain in the Beijing Capital Museum. Compared with the previously discovered Yuanqinghua phoenix head flat pot, the porcelain pot discovered by Ma Zhong has greater research value.

epilogue

After Ma Zhong's story became known to more people, many people thought that Ma Zhong's decision was wrong, after all, if the national treasure was sold, he was fully able to achieve financial freedom, but in Ma Zhong's view, no matter what the circumstances, he could not take advantage of the country, and the move to hand over cultural relics made him feel proud.

In the process of modern social development, with the popularization of cultural relics protection knowledge in China, more and more people realize the importance of protecting cultural relics. With the joint efforts of our people, many precious cultural relics have been successfully unearthed and made great contributions to the cause of historical research in our country.
