As Rousseau mentioned, when we have money in our hands, we have personal freedom, up to the officials and nobles, down to the poor beggars, no one does not like money, it can be seen that the charm of money is great.
In ancient China, there was such a man, who can really be described as the "grandfather" who hid money, hid the silver ticket in the wood carving, and for more than 600 years, no one found it, which shows the cleverness of the means of hiding money.
Although it is not known whether it is to hide private money behind his wife's back, or to prevent thieves from hiding small vaults, his move has made great contributions to the collection of cultural relics and monuments in later generations.
The origin of private money
From ancient times to the present, everyone likes to hide some private money and put it in their own small vaults in case of emergency, in fact, this is also a means of making money, and making money without spending money is frugality.
However, a man in the Ming Dynasty was able to hide his private money in wood carving, which made people feel very surprised, how superb technology can perfectly combine silver tickets and wood carving, and after more than 600 years without being discovered, two generations of collectors do not know its existence, which shows the superb means.
In fact, the origin of private money has a long history, in ancient China often have a large number of members, in order to prevent money from being stolen, will hide money in some very hidden corners, and even some people will repair dark rooms at home, used to hide excess money, of course, these we often see in TV series, the means can be described as endless.
Although the feudal society once advocated the inferiority of men to women, there were still men who were afraid of their wives. For example, the son-in-law, not only in the family status is not high, but also does not control the family property, if you do not hide some private money, life will become very sad, if the wife is angry, the consequences are even more unimaginable.
Of course, the ancients' means of hiding money are also strange and invincible. Ancient people generally lived in wooden houses, the house is supported by pillars, especially the beams and pillars at the highest point of the house, not only high but also very strong, few people can climb up. In this way, someone will put the money on it to prevent it from being stolen by others.

There will also be people who hide money under the foot of the table, and as the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place, and no one will look at the leg of the table.

Collectors are already interested in antiques, do not know how many times they have observed wood carvings, nor how many times they have touched them, but they have not found the treasure banknotes inside.
We can only say that it was the Ming Dynasty man's money-hiding technique that was too skilled, and the perfect fusion of money and wood carving could make so many people undiscovered. However, many people are curious about this technique, how did he put the treasure money into the wood carving and make the wood carving intact?
Because of the long time, we cannot examine his techniques, and we can only sigh at the superb wisdom of the ancients, which is difficult for us to imagine. But how exactly was the hidden way of hiding money discovered?
It turned out that at an auction, when experts used high-tech means to conduct a comprehensive scan of the wood carving, they suddenly found that the interior of the wood carving was unusual, and finally found a silver ticket from the Ming Dynasty in the gap of the wood carving. In order not to damage the wood carving, the experts used high technology to take the silver ticket out of the wood carving.
It was found that this banknote was actually the Daming Treasure Banknote of the Ming Dynasty, and the words "Daming Pass Treasure Banknote" could be clearly seen above the silver bill, and there was the time of the Hongwu period, and this silver ticket was actually expensive, and it was marked with the amount of "Yi Guan", which in the Hongwu year could be comparable to the One Year of Zhi County, which showed that the price was expensive.
When the silver ticket in the wood carving was discovered, it caused an uproar at the time, when the auction house became famous, and many people were very curious that a silver ticket could be hidden in the wood carving for more than 600 years, which showed the cleverness of the ancients' means of hiding money.
