preface
In history, there is such a phenomenon, whenever there is war, many ancient tombs will be destroyed a lot, so to a certain extent, the era of war is also the era of rich cultural relics thieves, such as in the modern history of the mainland. Due to the cowardice of the Qing government, from the second half of the 19th century, China's history went into shame, Western countries began to divide China, and some sinister warlords within China also began to divide China, and in this way, China fell into a great chaos, and some cultural relics thieves emerged.
The reason for the theft of a large number of cultural relics
In the chaotic world, there are many reasons for the theft of cultural relics, the biggest of which is wealth. Because in times of chaos, because the people in the midst of war and chaos are usually unable to engage in agricultural production in peace, the economic development of the whole society is very poor, but the warlords are constantly fighting each other, and this mutual struggle requires money.
Where do you come from now? The people have been squeezed dry. These warlords then began to think that since the money of the living could not be obtained, they should go and get the money of the dead. In the past dynasties, many dignitaries and nobles, especially the relatives of the emperor and the state, when they died, they would have a large number of funerary items, which not only had real gold and silver, but also very valuable historical relics.
Therefore, for this purpose, in the war years, there will be many warlords, they rob tombs, in this way to feed their own army, in fact, this way has an ancient history, according to historical research, Cao Cao started in this way.
Cultural relics thief Lu Qinzhai
As mentioned above, due to the war and chaos in China's modern history, many cultural relics thieves have appeared in many societies, and among these cultural relics thieves, there is a person named Lu Qinzhai, who can be said to have made a lot of money by buying and selling cultural relics in this chaotic world.
Lu Qinzhai is a native of Zhejiang, he was born in 1880, when he was very young, his parents all died, and he grew up on the donation of relatives, the poor life of his childhood made Lu Qinzhai suffer a lot, and it is for this reason that he was very eager to become a superior person from an early age.
After growing up, Lu Qinzhai went to work as a servant for other people's families, and there was a reason why he chose this profession, because he chose this family name Zhang, which was a famous and prestigious family at that time (and later one of the sons of this family became the chairman of the Kuomintang), and Lu Qinzhai hoped to use this way to achieve life upwards.
The Zhang family has strong financial resources, we know that in the Republic of China, there are many rich people have the hobby of collecting cultural relics, which also includes the old master of the Zhang family, so when he came and went, Lu Qinzhai came into contact with a lot of cultural relics information, through being a servant in the Zhang family, Lu Qinzhai knew that cultural relics can be sold for a large price.
In 1902, with "loyalty", Lu Qinzhai was able to follow the Zhang family to Paris to buy and sell cultural relics, and it was during this period that Lu Qinzhai, who was born in a humble background, learned French and English, and also learned to identify cultural relics.
After returning to China, Lu Qinzhai began to run his own cultural relics business, it is worth mentioning here that although the Zhang family likes cultural relics, they all buy cultural relics through formal channels, but Lu Qinzhai is different.
Lu Qinzhai came from a humble background, he did not have much money in his hands, he had no way to buy cultural relics from formal channels, therefore, he quietly contacted many tomb robbers, in this way, Lu Qinzhai obtained many valuable cultural relics in his hands.
Lu Qinzhai made a lot of profits through illegal trading, and also destroyed a large number of cultural relics in China, for example, he once broke this text in order to transport the "Liujun" of the Tang Dynasty to sell abroad, but later, fortunately, when the cultural relics went to sea, they were checked by the customs.
Because Lu Qinzhai made a lot of profits in the cultural relics market, he made him a rich man in an instant, became a rich man, and began to frantically carry out retaliatory consumption, as a man, Lu Qinzhai began to make friends with various women, because of the relationship in the business field, he had a lot of contact with the French, and he liked French women very much.
During Lu Qinzhai's cultural relics business, he had a private life with a number of French women, two of which were very special, one was a French woman 4 years older than him (Lu Qinzhai was 30 years old at the time), and the other was Marie, a girl who was only 15 years old at the time, and it is worth mentioning that Mary was also Olga's daughter. Yes, you heard it right, Lu Qinzhai was enjoying the tenderness of a mother and daughter at the same time! What is even more incredible is that in such a messy relationship, Mary even gave birth to 4 daughters for Lu Qinzhai.
summary
Lu Qinzhai was born poor, poor life made him very eager to live the life of a rich man, and finally because of various opportunities, he became a rich man, but unfortunately, he became an evil rich man, he made a lot of profits by buying and selling cultural relics, which brought huge losses to Chinese cultural relics, and after success, he violated morality and continuously supported a number of French women, just by virtue of this, his life is worthy of our controversy.
