With the continuous development of the times, people pay more attention to personal leisure and entertainment in their daily lives. Among the many entertainment projects, the elderly are also very fond of fishing.
On the one hand, it is because fishing can hone people's minds, and on the other hand, it is because fishing can also improve everyone's life. However, in the process of fishing, there are still unexpected effects.
An old man from Henan, under the circumstances of coincidence, caught an antique shaped like a "turtle", and there were 4 arrows inserted in its back. At first, the old man did not know that this was an antique, and after expert identification, the old man learned that his rod actually caught 1.8 billion. However, the old man still handed this antique to the museum, so that more people can see this valuable cultural relic.
First, the old man who loves fishing
I believe that many viewers know that Henan is a place with a very long history, which not only has a number of ancient capitals, but also the industrious and simple people of Henan, who once created a splendid culture, which is an indisputable fact. Perhaps for this reason, in recent decades, various places in Henan have unearthed valuable cultural relics, which is shocking.
In Luoyang City, Henan Province, there is an old farmer who is old, the family life is happy and happy, and the children under the knees are happy, so in daily life, the old man likes to go fishing with other people in the village.
This not only allowed him to enjoy a rare and comfortable time, but also to chat with the old guys to relieve boredom, but the old man did not know that it was his hobby that made him meet a valuable antique unexpectedly.
On that day, the old man came to the river with a small bench and a fishing rod, and he and his old men got together and began to fish. Just when everyone was chatting in full swing, the originally clear sky was actually overcast, and several old guys quickly left, ready to go home to collect the grain. Although the old man did not dry grain at home, he thought that it was not interesting to fish alone, and he had planned to leave.
Second, unexpected discoveries
When the old man pulled up the rod, he found something unusual, because his rod was so heavy that it seemed to catch a big fish, but what was in the water was not a living thing, because it did not struggle. At this time, the old man took it for granted that it might be hung with some aquatic weeds or old clothes, in order not to break the fishing rod, the old man carefully pulled the fishing rod back.
In this way, the old man patiently put the fishing line back, three or four meters away from him, the old man looked like a turtle, this time the old man was happy, although not fully loaded, but catching a turtle is not in vain. But the old man soon discovered that it was not a living thing at all, but a rusty iron lump shaped like a turtle, with four arrows on its back.
Seeing that the sky is getting darker and darker, the old man did not think much about it, he took the turtle home, the old man's grandson saw the turtle that his grandfather caught back, he used it as a toy, and the old man's family had never seen such a thing, so everyone slowly forgot about this matter. After the waste collector saw it, he said that it seemed to be copper and should be able to sell for a few dollars, and the old man did not agree.
3. Appraisal by experts
After a few months, Henan Satellite TV launched a treasure-hunting variety show "Huayu's Gate", which quickly attracted the attention of countless viewers, and the old man was no exception. When he learned from the TV that many cultural relics were obtained under unexpected circumstances, he also thought of his own turtle, after all, in the land of Henan, there are many cultural relics and monuments.
After making up his mind, the old man made a phone call to the local heritage department, and at first the experts did not take it seriously, after all, they received such calls every day. However, when the experts heard the details of the old man's details, they also felt that there was an unusual place, and they immediately sent someone to the old man's house. After seeing this bronze turtle, experts are also happy to blossom.
After the preliminary identification of several experts, they generally believe that this blue turtle is likely to be a precious cultural relic, not only has a high collection value, but also has a higher research value. After obtaining the consent of the old man, they decided to take the green turtle back to the research institute for the next step of research, and if the judgment is correct, the old man is likely to catch 1.8 billion, which also makes the old man very happy.
Fourth, the origin of the blue turtle
According to historical records, when the Shang King was hunting, he shot a giant shrew, but it escaped. A few days later, the Shang King encountered the giant shrew again and shot it again, but it still escaped. After four repetitions, the Shang King did not shoot the giant shrew, which people thought was very strange, so they cast bronze shrews to record this.
However, the turtle found by the old man is not the bronze shrew in the historical record, and experts are not sure. After professional instrument verification, experts finally found evidence, on the bronze shrew found by the old man, engraved with ancient text, which recorded the story of the Shang King's four shots at the giant shrew. This is enough to prove that the turtle found by the old man is a real cultural relic.
This incident also caused a huge shock in the archaeological community, which not only filled the gap in the physical object, but also had a very important significance. The ownership of this bronze shrew has also caused controversy among social people, many people think that this bronze shrew is found by the elderly and should be owned by the elderly, and some people say that this bronze shrew belongs to the state, although there are many opinions, there is no consensus, but the choice of the elderly is still very admirable.
5. Summary
The old man did not take the bronze shrew for himself, but gave it to the country free of charge. Because in the eyes of the old man, this cultural relic is too precious and should be placed in the museum to play its value. Although after thousands of years, after the restoration and treatment of the local cultural relics department, this bronze shrew has changed to its former glory.
In order to reward the elderly and carry forward the selfless spirit of collecting gold, the local government and the Cultural Relics Bureau issued some material rewards to the elderly. Today, this bronze shrew is also exhibited in the cultural relics museum in Luoyang, Henan Province, so that more people can understand the wisdom of the ancients and the little-known history. The old man can catch the bronze shrew, which is also a kind of chance, and his practice is also worth learning, so that the cultural relics have been better protected, and every descendant of Yanhuang has been inspired to learn from him.
