As the old saying goes, "No one is a sage, and no one can be blameless." If you can change it, you can do it well. "It means that we ordinary people have times to make mistakes, but knowing that mistakes are corrected is the best thing." However, the protagonist in today's story, after making a big mistake by mistake, chose to hide it, until it was exposed, the matter surfaced, and what she broke by mistake was a national treasure-level cultural relic worth more than 100 million.
Back on July 4, 2011, a staff member of the Palace Museum's Ancient Ceramics Testing and Research Laboratory prepared to conduct non-destructive analysis tests on the national first-class cultural relics Song Dynasty Kiln Green Glazed Sunflower Petal Plate. She is a veteran employee who came to work in the laboratory of the Ancient Ceramics Group as early as 2004 and has handled many important cultural relics and is familiar with all aspects of the process.
However, on this day, she was distracted at work, mistyped the value, resulting in a rapid rise in the detection instrument, song ge kiln blue glaze sunflower petal mouth plate was instantly squeezed, although she reacted immediately, but could not stop all this, this precious porcelain, so it became a fragment.
She was very scared, she knew very well that she could not afford it, and the consequences were also unbearable, but "fortunately" she was the only one at the scene when the accident occurred, so the staff chose a crooked path - to hide the matter.
A few days passed, no one found out about this matter, but she was deeply in self-blame and trepidation, every day worried, work can not concentrate at all, this situation, I am afraid that it will only cause more serious consequences, do not know the truth colleagues have cared about her, asked her if she encountered any difficulties, said out for everyone to help her, she did not dare to open her mouth, dead hold the secret.
It wasn't until 26 days later that she finally broke down and confessed her big mistake to everyone, and everyone present was silent, because they knew how precious the porcelain was.
Song Ge kiln blue glazed sunflower petal mouth plate, is the royal porcelain of the court, its shape is 4.1cm, the caliber is 20.2cm, the foot diameter is 7.5cm, the whole is a six-petal sunflower style, shallow abdomen, tandi. When the light shines, the circle foot changes with the undulating of the abdominal wall, which is really a fine product. As one of the "five famous kilns", the number of surviving kilns is extremely rare, even if it is the Forbidden City, the collection of ge kilns does not exceed 10 pieces. The famous collector Ma Weidu said bluntly that the surviving kilns are worth more than 100 million.
Because the accident was too serious, the Palace Museum did not immediately report it. On the evening of July 30, a netizen named "Long Can" angrily exposed the incident on Weibo, accusing the Forbidden City of not reporting the incident in time and suspecting of concealing it.
Under the pressure of public opinion, the Forbidden City quickly responded, admitting the matter, saying that they were "wrong to hide it from the society", and promised to investigate the matter thoroughly as soon as possible to give everyone a satisfactory answer.
Later, the reporter interviewed Ma Weidu and asked him about his views on this matter, and Ma Weidu sighed and said bluntly, I am afraid that the compensation is probably no play, and she certainly cannot afford to lose. At present, the main thing is not known to what extent the porcelain is damaged, whether it is squeezed to the end, or what? If it's just some cracks, you can still try to fix it, but if it's squeezed to the end, there's no way.
On July 4, 2011, the Palace Museum officially issued an announcement on this matter, which showed:
The direct cause of the accident is due to the staff operating the computer input data error, resulting in the sample table in the instrument rose too far, so that the porcelain was squeezed and damaged. According to the relevant regulations, the person directly responsible for the accident that caused the damage to the cultural relics shall be given an administrative punishment of major demerit, and the main responsible person of the department with leadership responsibility shall be given an administrative warning sanction.
At the same time, they promised that they would learn lessons in the future, conscientiously rectify and reform, and improve the relevant systems. In this regard, the author thinks that everyone is not a saint, and it is inevitable that there will be times when mistakes are made, but when mistakes are made, they are deliberately concealed, which is difficult for people to accept. Here, I also hope that cultural relics experts and restoration experts can be cautious and cautious to protect the treasures of our country. What do you think of the Forbidden City's previous concealment?
