China has a long history and culture, and there are countless cultural relics and treasures, but with the change of dynasties and the chaos of war, many cultural flows have fallen into the folk. After the founding of New China, in order to collect cultural relics, many activities to collect cultural relics were carried out in the countryside, in addition, a wave of treasure hunting programs was also set off.
However, for ordinary people, at first, cultural relics were not valued, and later due to the rise of cultural relics, it aroused people's interest in collecting cultural relics. There was once an aunt who brought her pillows that she had collected for many years and planned to sell a good price to buy a wedding house for her son. But what the expert said shocked her very much, is this pillow really worth that much? Let's take a look at the expert quotes
Friends owe debts with pillows
The aunt was a generous farmer from a decent family. Many years ago, a friend's family was in urgent need of money and borrowed 300,000 yuan from the aunt's family. Faced with the friend's difficulties, the aunt gathered 300,000 yuan and lent it to the friend, but the friend could not repay the 300,000 owed to the aunt. However, my friend's family had an ancestral jade pillow, and he wanted to use it to offset the money he owed to his aunt.
When the friend brought this jade pillow to the aunt, he told the aunt that this jade pillow was handed down from his ancestors and should be a cultural relic, and the appreciation space should not be underestimated. The aunt saw this jade pillow for the first time, it felt very old, and the jade pillow was very delicate, and it might sell for a good price when collected. So the aunt agreed to let her friend use this jade pillow to pay off the 300,000 owed to her.
In that era, ordinary people could not distinguish the authenticity of cultural relics at all, and there were many deceived. In the eyes of the aunt, friends should not deceive themselves, and there are indeed some people who sell their ancestral treasures for a high price. At that time, the aunt was not short of money, and did not sell the jade pillow at the first time, but thought that if she collected it for a few more years, maybe the value would rise a lot. Can such a jade pillow really be worth 300,000? And many years ago, the aunt 300,000 is not a small amount of money.
The aunt brought a pillow to treasure
Many years later, the aunt wanted to buy a suite for her son, so she remembered the jade pillow collected at home. At that time, there were also some treasure hunting programs, and there were many private collectors, bringing special old objects from their homes for experts to identify and want to auction off at high prices. The aunt thought of taking her own treasure and going to the treasure show to make a bright appearance, let the experts estimate the price, and also wanted to know how much this jade pillow was worth.
So the aunt took the jade pillow to participate in a treasure hunting program, and after the initial screening, the aunt's baby could appear on the stage, which made her very happy. The aunt explained the origin of this jade pillow to the experts on the stage, and wanted to sell it now to buy a wedding house for her son. This surprised the audience at the scene, and the aunt promised her friends to use it to pay off the 300,000 arrears without knowing whether the jade pillow was really valuable.
Experts carefully studied this jade pillow and found that it was indeed an antiquity, and from its shape and size, it felt like a product of the Tang Dynasty. In order to further determine, the expert picked up this jade pillow and shook it, and sure enough, it made a crisp sound, which further confirmed that this jade pillow was indeed from the Tang Dynasty. The friend did not deceive himself, this ancestral jade pillow is indeed from the Tang Dynasty, and it is a genuine product. But for the aunt, what is more concerned is how much is this jade pillow worth?
The expert's offer made the aunt feel cold
After the expert's appraisal, his face was low, and he did not know how to open his mouth, afraid that the aunt would not be able to accept it after listening. Before announcing the offer, the expert asked the aunt if she had a heart attack. After the aunt said that there was no heart disease, the experts told the aunt to stand firm and start quoting.
Although this jade pillow is indeed from the Tang Dynasty from the grain and chronology, it is also an object from the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty. But this one is general, there is nothing special about it, it is not from the hands of famous artists, and it is now worth up to 200,000 yuan. After listening to the expert's quotation, the aunt felt very lost in her heart.
Originally thought that it would sell for a good price, at least there must be 300,000, after all, the aunt spent 300,000 yuan to get this jade pillow, did not expect to be deceived by friends. The aunt said with a strong smile that it was okay, and said that the house was almost a little money, so she took out a loan to buy it, and then left the stage with a frustrated face.
This result is indeed a big blow to the aunt, as a rural person, it is not easy to make money hard, I thought that by relying on this cultural relic, I could sell a good price to buy a marriage house for my son, but I lost 100,000 yuan. Therefore, not all historical relics can be sold for a very high price, and when we cannot identify the specific value of cultural relics, we should not easily try to buy cultural relics to treasure, so as not to lose money.
epilogue
Although the aunt did not sell this jade pillow for a good price, and even lost 100,000 yuan, this jade pillow is at least genuine, and some people may spend a lot of money to buy it is a fake. Therefore, when we are not familiar with the collection value of cultural relics, we should not easily buy them, once we buy fakes, it will be more than worth the loss.
