Cultural relics are a very precious thing, most of them are historical relics that have gone through thousands of years of wind and rain, which not only carry a heavy cultural heritage, but also provide valuable physical materials for the historical research of future generations.
Therefore, cultural relics generally have high collection value and research value, and their commercial value has been recognized by all sectors of society.
More and more people, because they like cultural relics collection, spend a lot of money and try to buy some precious treasures through the cultural relics market. But there are very few people who can successfully buy the real thing.
The reason for this is that the cultural relics market has always been a mixture of fish and dragons. In the market, where it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, there are fakes and shoddy products everywhere.
Some things look like the real thing because they are so well made that ordinary people have no way to tell if they are real or fake.
Often people spend a lot of money to buy fakes because of a momentary impulse, and some people even lose money because the transaction amount is too large, which seriously affects their normal life.
The best way to determine the authenticity of the treasure is to find a cultural relics practitioner with rich professional knowledge to help identify it.
If ordinary people do not understand the relevant knowledge and spend money to buy things at will, they are likely to buy fakes at a high price and waste money in vain.
Because of this pain point, the relevant departments decided to launch some treasure hunting programs, calling on everyone to come to the appraisal with the treasures in their homes.
In this way, it can not only help everyone identify the authenticity of the treasure, but also popularize the knowledge of cultural relics for more people through the broadcast of the program, so as to avoid being deceived by the lack of knowledge.
With the continuous popularity of the treasure hunting program, more and more people, because of the need for identification, signed up to participate in the program. There was a man who, unsure of the authenticity of his treasure, took it to a treasure hunting show.
The treasure that the man took to identify was a pair of hammers, and he claimed in the show that it was Li Yuanba's treasure, which caused a burst of laughter from the audience.
The legendary Li Yuanba, a hammer has 400 pounds, he used a double hammer to kill Yuwen Chengdu in the Battle of Purple Mountain, and also beat more than 1.8 million enemy troops to the ground, forcing Li Mi to be forced to offer the jade seal, frightening all the anti-kings to hurry up and submit the surrender form, and did not dare to wantonly rebel again.
If the double hammer held by this man is really Li Yuanba's thing, it should be very large, and it should not be only such a point. Therefore, the audience felt that this man was making up nonsense.
In fact, a pair of hammers that the man took to identify was indeed not Li Yuanba's thing. Because in real history, there is no character of Li Yuanba.
Li Yuanba is a fictional character from a literary work, born after the middle of the Qing Dynasty, whose real prototype is Li Yuan's third son, Li Xuanba.
The legendary Li Yuanba and the historical Li Xuanba have almost no similarities except for the relationship between the characters. Li Yuanba's double hammer across the battlefield is also a fictional thing in literary works.
Since this man's hammer has nothing to do with Li Yuanba, what is its origin?
According to the process of the program group, the expert carefully looked at the pair of hammers, and finally explained to the man and the audience with great emotion that although the hammers looked small, its weight was indeed very large, and it was not something that ordinary people could use.
Unfortunately, it is not a real artifact. This pair of hammers looks sophisticated, but on its body, there are many traces of imitation of modern craftsmanship.
Therefore, experts believe that this double hammer may be a forgery deliberately forged by some lawbreakers, and it does not have much cultural relics value and collection value. Before the man's formal identification, he looked quite indifferent. After the expert appraisal, he was not calm.
The man quickly stressed to the expert that decades ago, he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy this pair of hammers, he has treasured it for many years, repeatedly studied it many times, it should not be a fake, and hopes that the expert can take a closer look, so as not to make a wrong judgment because of negligence.
The experts understood his feelings, but did not change the previous conclusions. The hammer taken by the man is indeed just a fake imitated by modern craftsmanship, which has no historical background and cannot be regarded as a cultural relic.
Although the audience at the scene already knew that the identification hammer brought by this man was a little strange, after hearing this conclusion, everyone still had some sighs.
From the perspective of time nodes, a few decades ago, China's economic level was still relatively low, and there was no way to compare with those developed Western countries.
For the Chinese people at that time, hundreds of thousands was a very large amount of money. At that time, the man could spend hundreds of thousands of yuan to buy a pair of hammers, and should be a well-off person.
Unfortunately, he did not buy the real treasure, and the hundreds of thousands of yuan he spent that year was only exchanged for a fake that did not have much value, and the loss was very miserable.
There is a concept of aversion to loss in psychology, which is simply to hate loss, and every time we encounter a loss, we instinctively feel uncomfortable. If this kind of thing were put on us, we would probably be very distressed.
Therefore, after the man learned that the hammer he bought was a fake, he was quite emotional, and the atmosphere at the scene became much more awkward. Unfortunately, at this point, there is no way to change, and the man can only silently accept this result.
In fact, the man's encounter is not a unique case, in many treasure hunting programs, there are often some treasure holders, full of confidence to take the treasure to identify, they thought that their treasure, can be evaluated by experts at a high price, the result is not as desired, but was rated as a fake.
Every time experts identify a fake, the treasure holder will be particularly frustrated, and can only force a smile to force himself to accept this result as soon as possible.
The suffering of these treasure bearers is particularly lamentable, worthy of everyone's sympathy, and worthy of everyone's caution.
Experts from relevant departments have more than once publicized to the public that the cultural relics market is mixed, and we cannot easily trust the propaganda of those illegal traders, we must polish our eyes, guard our own money bags, and absolutely not easily agree to trade because of the foolishness of illegal traders.
If everyone can remain vigilant at any time and not easily take action, the living space of those counterfeiters will definitely be infinitely reduced, and the market environment will become better.
Don't take a chance and blindly buy something of unknown origin. Only by remaining vigilant at all times and snuffing out the danger in the cradle can we better protect our property.
If you have been unfortunate enough to be deceived, you can report the case to the relevant departments as soon as possible when conditions permit, actively provide clues, and help law enforcement personnel to bring those bad people to justice.
