In the process of marching and fighting in ancient China, the role of the commander is very important, and the commander's identification is often through the waist card, but when he unloads his official position, the waist card he carries must be handed in, but an old man in Xiangxiang, Hunan Province, has a very special general soldier waist card.
After the experts came, they found that this silver waist plate was a product of the Sino-Japanese War, and the experts immediately asked the old man to hand over to the state, but the old man objected on the spot. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the general soldiers of a place were often held by generals with titles such as gong, hou, and bo, and the waist plates of the general soldiers had already appeared in the Ming Dynasty Zhu Yuanzhang period, but these waist plates had long been lost in the years, and few people could take out such rare objects.
However, in Xiangxiang, Hunan Province, there is an old man in his seventies who claims to have an ancestral waist plate from the Ming and Qing dynasties in his hand. Experts came to his home to see this waist plate after the very shocked, it turned out that this waist plate was actually the Qing Dynasty during the Sino-Japanese War ancestor Yi Wenguang during the Jia-Wu War led the Xiang army stationed in the Liaodong Dagaoling Mountains, and later after the death of the old man, this waist plate was handed down from generation to generation, because the time from now is relatively short, so this waist plate is very well preserved.
In the late Qing Dynasty, the Qing government was corrupt and incompetent, and the Qing Dynasty once broke out the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and other movements, and its power once extended to the area south of Nanjing, almost ruling by the Qing Dynasty. At this time of crisis, Zeng Guofan organized local regiments to train and found the Xiang Army, united with the generals of the Xiang Army, and finally eliminated the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, and Zeng Guofan's Xiang Army also showed its prominence.
Experts see that this waist plate is so scarce, they persuaded the old man to hand over this cultural relic to the state, but these things were opposed by the old man, the old man said bluntly, if the expert wants to study this waist plate, you can come to the old man's home at any time to study, but you can not take this waist card away. Later, the old man also said that this is the only object handed down by the ancestors, so he hopes to be able to pass it down from generation to generation.
