The Book of Han and the Chronicle of the Penal Code says: "Even the so-called Lord of the Present Law is also a thief who keeps himself." "There are people, with the salary of the state, who are doing the work of guarding and stealing.
"Expert" refers to a person who has a special study of a discipline and is good at a certain technology. Originally, people believed that experts were people who stood in the interests of the people and shouted for the people, people who did not eat human fireworks, but after the so-called experts repeatedly made a big fuss in public, people jokingly called "experts" "brick families".
The word brick family completely pulls the expert off the altar, so that people can see that the expert also has seven passions and six desires, and they sometimes speak and do things that are biased.
For example, archaeologists will also choose to take it for their own use because of the value of cultural relics and incorporate them into their private property. Zhen Anzhi is such an archaeologist, so what valuable cultural relics can make him see the eyes of money?
1. Ancient tombs of the Tang Dynasty unearthed in Shaanxi
Chinese culture has lasted for five thousand years, and although the turbulent years account for a large proportion of them, after all, the prosperous And Taiping period still existed for the longest time. The prosperity of the country must be a period of continuous progress in all walks of life, and the most respected in all industries is the ingenious craftsmen, who pass on their exquisite skills for thousands of years with a pair of hands. Coupled with the unique geographical environment of each place, it has also become the birthplace of many cultural relics.
Xi'an, formerly known as Chang'an, was the seat of the imperial city of many dynasties. There are also countless ancient tombs buried here, and it is precisely for this reason that many people will ridicule that Xi'an is the city that takes the longest time to build a subway in the country, and the reason is that there is no other reason, just because the subway is in the process of construction, I don't know when the ancient tomb will be dug.
As soon as the ancient tomb is excavated, archaeologists are invited to excavate, which delays the construction of the subway. Of course, this is just a joke from people, and it is not convenient to take it seriously. But it has to be said that the number and frequency of ancient tombs in Xi'an are indeed much higher than in other places. However, the city of Shaanxi has also found many ancient tombs.
In 1988, a Tang Dynasty tomb in Shaanxi was excavated, and a migrant worker dug up a "gold bracelet" when passing by, which was later identified as the Tang Dynasty's "Four Dragon Play Pearl Pure Gold Double Sheath Bracelet".
At the beginning of picking up the gold bracelet, he did not think much about it, but he thought that it might be a cultural relic, after all, the neighborhood was excavated, so he took the bracelet to find an expert identification. The results of the appraisal shocked the migrant workers, what would he do in the face of valuable cultural relics?
2. Take the initiative to hand over to the state
When the expert watched the rustic farmer holding a golden bracelet and explained the intention, the expert immediately picked up the bracelet and looked at it, and finally carefully identified by the expert, which is a first-class cultural relic, worth more than 300 million yuan. The migrant worker is not calm, this is the silver money he has never seen in his life. In fact, it is reasonable to say that this item was originally picked up by him, even if he did not hand it over to the state.
However, the migrant worker is very determined to hand over the bracelet to the state, after all, it is too expensive, and his conscience is uneasy. And this bracelet is archaeologists who went through the entire mausoleum and did not find the bracelet, when everyone thought that the bracelet was lost, they did not expect to be found by migrant workers in the nearby dirt.
In the face of the voluntary handing in of the bracelet by the migrant worker, the state naturally gladly accepted it, and in order to reward the migrant worker for his behavior of collecting gold, he was still given a certain amount of compensation and honorary certificates.
In the face of media interviews, migrant workers only shyly said, "Such cultural relics should be handed over to the state." However, the high consciousness of migrant workers does not mean that the consciousness of experts will also be so high. Where did this come from?
Third, experts see money in the eyes
The artifact was stolen by an expert at the time and given to his girlfriend. This matter is a long story, and we have to start with the archeological team leader Zhen Anzhi, who is an archaeologist with very deep qualifications and a lofty position in the archaeological community.
In 1988, he was ordered to take his team to Xi'an to excavate an ancient tomb, which is the tomb of a lonely daughter-in-law, and it is well known that the burial specifications of the ancient tomb follow the identity of the tomb owner. Dugu Xin was a famous courtier during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the Dugu clan was originally a branch of the Xianbei people, because they intermarried with the Tuoba family of Xianbei for generations, and had a very good relationship. Later, the Tuoba clan established the Northern Wei Dynasty and unified northern China, and the family status of the Dugu clan was even more prominent.
And this cemetery of the daughter-in-law of the lonely believer, from the construction specifications, craftsmanship, materials and funerary products in the tomb, the specifications used are extremely high, and the number of funerary products is even larger, and the pieces are exquisite. According to media reports, the tomb unearthed a lot of antiquities, including a set of women's gold jewelry.
In the face of such exquisite funerary items, as the archeological captain of this mausoleum, Zhen Anzhi was very moved and also had a bad heart. In addition, his status is high, few people can violate his opinion, then the social management is not as clear as now, it is inevitable that there will be people who fish in muddy waters. Archaeology is a very oily and water errand, although there are people staring at the excavation, but there are policies, there are countermeasures, as long as the time is accurate, there is no worry about finding the opportunity to fill the cultural relics.
Zhen Anzhi thought that stealing in piles of funerary goods should not be easy to find, and with such a fluke mentality, he soon committed theft. However, the funerary items excavated before have been registered, and it is not easy to get their hands on. Anzhi hit the idea on the bracelet handed in by the migrant worker, after all, the bracelet has not yet been registered.
After winning the hand, it didn't take long for him to give the bracelet to his girlfriend Ba as a promise of love. However, what deeply saddened him was that the so-called "girlfriend" actually had a boyfriend, and the reason why she was with him was only to cheat him of money.
And after seeing the gold bracelet, Ba Mou thought that Zhen Anzhi must have hidden other cultural relics, so he and his boyfriend robbed Zhen Anzhi. Where can Anzhi, who has been cheated of money and cheated on feelings, bear this breath and directly call the police, sometimes fate is to like to joke with people. The police not only sent the perpetrator to prison, but also sent himself in.
Because of his police, he was involved in the felony of privately storing cultural relics, and in the end, he was sentenced to 12 years in prison for privately storing cultural relics. As it is said in "Under the Wuling Mountain": "This guy miscalculated, he lifted a stone and dropped it on his own feet." ”
brief summary
The reason why an expert is called an expert is because he is more knowledgeable, more sensible, and more enlightened than ordinary people. When one day, people find that experts begin to guard themselves, then it is destined to be the day when the trust of the people in the entire expert group collapses. Just like the government that everyone trusted, but it broke out countless fish and meat people, and when the people were regarded as cash cows, the government would usher in a crisis of trust.
The impact is enormous, perhaps just an individual act in the industry, but because of the particularity of its identity, it is very easy for the public to have the illusion that the entire industry is rat. This is a typical example of a so-called rat spoiling a pot of porridge.
However, the lessons of history have told us a lot, but there are still people who make the same mistakes, and in the end it is still a greedy word. In the nineties, archaeologists could be regarded as a relatively rich type of person in the government organs, and also had a lofty social status, and their living environment was far better than that of ordinary people.
But they still chose to bow their noble heads in front of money and cultural relics, which is enough to show that human nature cannot withstand the test at all. This is true for an expert who has been wandering among various rare cultural relics for many years, and the temptation for ordinary people will only be stronger.
However, it is extremely ironic that migrant workers still know that the valuable goods need to be handed over to the state, and understand that they do not take their own things, so they have never looked above the top and received higher cultural education, but they do not understand such a truth, and they are also shocked to feel ironic.
Therefore, this also tells us that sometimes high culture does not equal high quality, and not all experts and scholars are worthy of the status of experts and scholars. It's not so much a story as it is a warning to experts from all walks of life. They are at the most resource-rich end of society, and the more such an environment is, the more they should understand the importance of professional ethics and not let the face punch happen again.
