There is no place to step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort at all - Shi Nai'an
Speaking of "treasure hunting", many people may think of Cao Cao, the originator of the tomb robbery world, according to legend, in order to raise military funds, he specially formed an army, and has been specializing in tomb robbery. In addition, there are many people in history who have done the work of robbing tombs, Qianlong was an emperor for 60 years, collected countless antique calligraphy and paintings in his lifetime, and finally was stolen by Sun Dianying, empress dowager Cixi, who ruled for more than 40 years, after her death, the tomb was also stolen by Sun Dianying, and incidentally the night pearl in her mouth was taken away.
The reason why people rob tombs is of course for valuable antiques in ancient tombs, once these things are real, they are the treasures in people's mouths, but some people have not been able to find treasures in their lives, and some people can see treasures when they plant a land. It's really lucky to hide from it.
In the 70s of the last century, farmers in Shanxi Province encountered this kind of thing, when people had just left the collectivized life, although the life was poor, but also self-sufficient, eating and wearing although not, but not so busy work rhythm, when it rained, you can also take a break. But once a year, there is still a mowing brigade in the village, and the grass is mowed collectively.
When cutting the grass, one of the old farmers found a wooden box, although it had decayed, but I could faintly see that the box was very delicate, and the box was quite heavy, and it felt like there were a lot of things in it. So I called someone who was working together to take a look. Because the wooden box had decayed, it was quickly opened by everyone, and there were a lot of blue-yellow things in it, which were quite heavy, and did not look like ordinary copper and iron, nor like gold and silver.
Whatever it was, it was finally divided equally, and the villager who found the box not only got what was inside, but also got the box, and he went home to study it for a long time, but he still couldn't understand what it was. One day he came to the rural credit cooperative with the box and the contents, but the people here could not give an answer, and finally alarmed the Shaanxi Cultural Relics Administration.
According to expert identification, this box is filled with gold utensils, which are ancient gold. But this matter is not very easy to deal with, the villagers found that the cultural relics according to the law, can not be appropriated for their own, must be handed over, according to the villager, when these things were found, everyone divided equally, then it is indeed difficult to recover these cultural relics.
Fortunately, these villagers are very cooperative, under the coordination of archaeologists and police, they also handed over the gold tools in their hands, plus wooden boxes, this batch of things weighs fifty or sixty pounds, after some research, among these things, there are a total of 5 artifacts engraved with inscriptions, and one of them is written in the first year of qianyuan.
Since these things have inscriptions, it is good to infer when this collection is, the first year of the Qianyuan Dynasty, that is, 758, is the Tang Dynasty, the Anshi Rebellion occurred in the middle of 755 to 763, that is to say, this is the cultural relics of the Anshi Rebellion, when An Lushan had occupied Chang'an City, and Tang Suzong had just succeeded to the throne.
So, who exactly threw so many gold artifacts into this small village of Shanxi? The answer was found in the exceptional gold vessel, which was engraved with the inscription "Zhang Tongrujin, a meritorious official of the State of Wei in the Pillar State", that is to say, this is Zhang Tongru's property, and Zhang Tongru was quite famous during the An Shi Rebellion, he was a subordinate of An Lushan, An Lushan was called empress, and Zhang Tongru was also named the prime minister, but he was a big person.
Archaeologists have calculated based on a series of discoveries, and finally figured out the history of this batch of cultural relics, which was a batch of gold artifacts left by Zhang Tongru when he fled for the New Year, when An Lushan's army had been defeated and retreated, at this difficult moment, in order to hurry, he had to bury this batch of cultural relics here first, and then come back to get them later, who knows that later he and his entourage died in the rebel army.
Zhang Tongru failed to squander the cultural relics but was found by the villagers more than a thousand years later, after calculation, there are a total of 193 gold objects, the total weight of more than 30,000 grams, according to the market price to calculate, the approved gold is estimated to reach 11.5 million, even if it is divided equally into the hands of each villager at that time, they can also get hundreds of thousands, but this has become antiques, they have witnessed history, more should become cultural relics, rather than realization.
