There is a historical story in "Zuo Biao": Uncle Yu has a piece of precious jade, Yu Gong wants to get it, and Uncle Yu did not give it to him. But soon Uncle Yu regretted it, and when he thought of the Zhou Dynasty, there was a proverb: "Pifu is not guilty, but he is guilty of his guilt." So he gave it to Yu Gong. However, later Yu Gong came to ask for Uncle Yu's sword, and Uncle Yu realized that people are often insatiable, and if they continue like this, they will be squeezed dry, so they took the initiative to send troops to attack Yu Gong.
"Guilty of guilt" is now an idiom often used, but it is usually used as a metaphor for a person's talent and jealousy and persecution. After all, it is now a society ruled by law, even if you have treasures in your family, as long as they are not stolen and robbed, or belong to your personal property, no one is entitled to plunder.
However, if it is a very important historical relic, the local cultural relics protection department will often make a request for acquisition to the individual who obtains the cultural relics from the perspective of protection. If the cultural relics were acquired by the legitimate means of an individual, they cannot be forced to be handed over. In Chongqing, an old farmer picked up a sword and was asked by experts to hand it in, but it turned into a kitchen knife by the old farmer.
The old Chongqing farmer, surnamed Yi, lives in a remote mountain village in Gaoguan Town, Chengkou County, Chongqing City, and in 2010 Yi Was 60 years old. Born in the war years, Yi Laohan has seen a lot of ups and downs, lived a simple life, and did not make any waves until his old age, until he picked up this sword.
On this day, Yi Laohan weeded in the field, and last year's harvest was not good, so Yi Laohan was ready to expand the land today. So a new piece of land was opened on the mountain of his hometown, Yi Laohan was busy all morning, sweating and preparing to go home, and after eating, he could dig again, who thought that the last few hoes actually let him dig out a box.
The box was very worn and didn't look like something containing a treasure, but looking inside from one of the broken corners of the box, Yi Laohan seemed to see something else. Yi Laohan quickly lifted the box out, opened it to see that Yi Laohan's eyes lit up, it was a somewhat rusty sword, but very delicately decorated.
Yi Laohan did not hide first, he carried the sword down the mountain in a majestic manner, and the villagers were curious to ask him where the sword came from? Yi Laohan also unabashedly said that it was dug up, and the villagers quickly asked him to go to the city to identify it, maybe it was a treasure.
The next day, Yi Laohan wrapped his sword in an old cloth and entered the city. He inquired left and right, and finally found the local cultural relics bureau.
The expert warmly welcomed Yi Laohan and then took the sword to the appraisal room for appraisal. The preliminary conclusion is that this sword should be a sword worn by the nobles of the Ming and Qing dynasties, which has a certain cultural relics value. After the experts heard about the origin of the sword, they persuaded Yi Laohan to hand it in, because according to the provisions of the Cultural Relics Protection Law, the excavated cultural relics should be handed over to the state. Yi Laohan said that he would consider it first, and then temporarily brought the sword back.
A few days later, the experts of the Cultural Relics Bureau personally went to Yi Laohan's home according to the address left by Yi Laohan. Knowing that the expert had come to ask for the sword, Yi Laohan went into the kitchen and took out a "brand new" sword. According to the handle of the sword, the expert recognized that this was the sword that Yi Laohan had taken to identify a few days ago.
At this time, the rust and texture on the sword were polished clean, looking no different from the kitchen knife that had been used many times for many years, and the experts were furious and reprimanded Yi Laohan for "daring" and destroying cultural relics.
It is indeed incorrect for Yi Laohan to use this extreme way in order to leave the sword, and if it is confirmed that the cultural relics should be handed over, then Yi Laohan needs to bear legal responsibility, not to mention, but also to be morally condemned. What would you choose to do if you were an easy old man?
