In the modern period, the cultural relics taken away by foreign powers are really countless, not to mention other countries, for example, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Japanese devils did not know how many important cultural relics were looted from our country, they sent a large number of archaeological teams from China to steal and dig up China's ancient tombs, so they did not hesitate to use a large number of explosives to blow up the tombs, it can be said that they did everything for the sake of cultural relics!
The cultural relics to be introduced below can be called "top national treasures", it is known as "one of the top ten national treasures", but the experience of this "top national treasure" is very tragic, it has been sold with 400 pieces, and when it came to the War of Resistance Against Japan, it was unfortunate to be blown up by the Japanese aircraft into more than 20 pieces, which is really heartbreaking!
The name of this "top national treasure" is "Four Sheep Fang zun", let's first briefly introduce this "four sheep square zun", "four sheep fang zun" as the name suggests is that there are 4 sheep coiled around, weighing 34.5 kg, 58.3 cm high, all around are depicted exquisite banana leaf pattern, triangle pattern and animal face pattern.
Experts say that the production process of this "Four Sheep Fang Zun" can be called to the point of pure fire, and the connection of each step must be maintained finely, otherwise a little carelessness may lead to the failure of the production of this "Four Sheep Fang Zun", which has the reputation of "the ultimate bronze model".
In Ningxiang County, Hunan Province in 1938, when the three brothers of Huangwu Town (Jiang Jingshu, Jiang Jingqiao, Jiang Xiqiao) were planting sweet potatoes in the nearby wasteland, but the accident seemed to be so wonderful, one of the brothers was waving a hoe, suddenly there was a clanging sound, it was obvious that they had dug up some iron or other items.
For this reason, the 3 brothers began to come together to explore the end, but unexpectedly dug out a very large, dark green sheep's head, that is, the later "Four Sheep Fang Zun", the brothers 3 people worked together to lift up very hard, indicating that the weight of this "Four Sheep Fang Zun" is very sufficient.
Soon the news that these 3 brothers dug up the treasure spread in the village, and even the county spread the news, not long after a boss called Huangcai Town found their 3 brothers, and was willing to bid 400 yuan to buy this "Four Sheep Fang Zun", it is said that 400 yuan at that time is not a small number, and the value of the "Four Sheep Fang Zun" itself, it is a dime, but where the brothers 3 have seen 400 yuan so much money, so naturally they are also happy to agree.
Of course, in the last 400 yuan, only 248 yuan went to the hands of the three brothers, of which more than 100 yuan were withheld by the township chief, the chief of the first and other people. After that, the "Four Sheep Fang Zun" was also displaced, falling into the hands of others one after another, and finally was lost during the War of Resistance Against Japan.
And when this "Four Sheep Fang Zun" was found again, it was already blown into more than 20 pieces of debris, according to the personnel of the Bank of Hunan Province, when the "Four Sheep Fang Zun" was transported at that time, it was unfortunately bombed by the Japanese aircraft, and the cultural relics restoration experts saw such a fragmented "Four Sheep Fang Zun", when they really wanted to cry without tears!
Fortunately, under the restoration of several top cultural relics restoration experts in China, this "Four Sheep Fang Zun" was successfully restored, and today's "Four Sheep Fang Zun" seems to see no trace of damage, and the "Four Sheep Fang Zun" has been lying in the National Museum of China.
