Hello everyone, I take the time out of my busy schedule today to bring you the following article, welcome to taste it together!
According to Hong Renjie's record in the "New Chapter of Senior Administration": "Xing Bank, if there are millions of rich people... Or three or four rich people jointly ask for a standing, or one person asks for a standing, none of them are indispensable. ”
In this document, it is the earliest record of "banking" in the historical documents of the mainland. On the mainland, the reason why there is a "bank" is closely related to the ancient economic development history of the mainland.
As we all know, for a long time in the ancient times of the continent, silver has been one of the most important monetary materials. Therefore, the word "silver" represents money, while the word "line" represents a title for large commercial institutions, so in the "New Chapter of Senior Administration", the large financial institutions related to silver will be called banks.
Nowadays, people believe that banks are no strangers, but as we all know, banks are built on the ground, but have you ever thought that someone can dig up an "underground bank" under the ground? In fact, in Shaanxi, it was indeed once there! A man's home dug up an "underground bank"
I. Shaanxi man's home decoration, accidental excavation of the "underground bank"
Shaanxi Province, as the ancient capital of many dynasties in the history of the mainland, after years of development, can be said to have accumulated a very rich cultural history, leaving the development relics of many dynasties on that land. And it is precisely because Shaanxi has been valued in history and developed very prosperously, so it is not surprising that cultural relics and monuments have appeared.
In addition to the ancient tombs and large-scale ruins of the ancient rich and noble families, there are many places where cultural relics have also been found, such as in the story to be told in this article, cultural relics are hidden in the homes of ordinary people!
The thing is, in an ordinary peasant family in Shaanxi, because his family conditions are not rich, so the son of the family has not had money to marry his daughter-in-law, in order to support the family, he also worked hard for many years, so that he later became an older youth, helpless to worry about marriage.
So his family prepared to hire workers to renovate the house, in preparation for their son to say goodbye.
However, within a few days of the workers working on the man's home, they noticed something was wrong. When they dig the ground, they can always faintly hear some muffled noises, and talk about experience, this sound makes people feel as if the ground is empty.
However, after careful inspection, they did not find anything unusual, and the men were also very anxious about the progress of the construction, so they had to remain vigilant and continue to work. However, within a few days, the construction team's idea was confirmed!
When a worker was digging with a shovel, he did not expect that a shovel had actually dug a hole, which attracted the man and other workers in the construction team. Driven by curiosity, the man asked the workers to dig the opening of the hole wider, and then entered the hole with a flashlight to inspect it.
And when the man saw the scene in the cave, he was suddenly shocked! The cave was neatly stacked with a very large number of copper coins, and its height even exceeded the height of ordinary people!
And because many years have passed, the ropes that fixed the copper coins have rotted, resulting in a small part of the copper coins being spilled on the ground, and because of the excessive number, the man cannot even estimate its number.
In that small village, such amazing news spread quickly, people came to see such a miracle, at the same time, the news also reached the ears of the experts of the local cultural relics protection department, and they even rushed to the scene overnight!
So what happened after the experts arrived at the scene?
Second, the expert introduced the origin of the copper coin, and its high value made the man ecstatic
After the archaeologists learned of the excavation of the copper coin, they rushed to the scene overnight, and then they obtained the man's consent to conduct archaeological research on the underground treasure of his family.
Because the copper coins are tied with lines first, and then sealed with mud on the walls of the hole for preservation, even the lines are rotten, and most of the coins are not scattered because of the mud.
Moreover, due to the special reasons for this method of preserving coins and the location of storage, the excavated copper coins have generally not been seriously corroded, and their integrity is still relatively high. And such a scene can't help but make experts suspect that this is an ancient "underground bank"!
Later, after careful identification by experts, they learned that these copper coins appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty, and also speculated based on their relevant information that they should be copper coins used to pay tribute to the Jin people during the Northern Song Dynasty.
The reason why it was hidden underground was because the Northern Song Dynasty was forced to pay tribute to the Jin people after the defeat of the war, and because the amount of money was very large, it also aroused the covetousness of some lawbreakers, in order not to be robbed, so these huge copper coins were hidden in the ground.
However, in the end, due to war and other reasons, the copper coins were not unearthed, so they were left behind, and they were not found until the men renovated.
In this way, this batch of copper coins also has a very long history, but from the appearance of most of them almost no damage, which is also a rare thing.
At that time, the team of archaeologists spent two days and nights excavating all the copper coins in the cave intact, and it is said that all the copper coins together weigh nearly three tons, which also reflects how large the number of copper coins is.
One thing to know is that copper coins like this are expensive in the antique market, not to mention that the copper coins unearthed have not been corroded and damaged, so according to rough estimates, each one can be easily sold for more than a thousand yuan. And the amount of copper coins is so huge, you can imagine how high its overall value should be!
Therefore, according to the current market value, if the copper coins unearthed can not only lift the man out of poverty, but also make him rich overnight!
As a result, the man became ecstatic after learning its value. At that time, however, archaeologists had to interrupt his dream, because they had to hand over all the copper coins unearthed to the state for protection.
After hearing the expert's remarks, the man clearly showed an unwilling attitude, after all, his dream of becoming rich depends on this batch of copper coins to achieve. So, how was the last batch of copper coins handled?
Third, the excavated cultural relics belong to the state, and the man chooses to turn it in after understanding the law
In the man's view, since these copper coins were dug up in their homes, they should belong to them, and it was up to them to decide whether to hand them over or sell. However, experts say that the excavated copper coins belong to the state, and even one cannot be occupied by individuals.
Seeing that the man was very angry, and considering that he was in the countryside, he might not know much about the law, so the expert patiently explained to the man that according to the laws of our country, as long as the cultural relics excavated from the ground, then no matter where they are unearthed, they belong to the state, and anyone needs to hand it over to the state without reservation.
That is to say, although the copper coin was found in the man's home, it was still not his personal property, and he did not have any qualifications to possess it. And if he occupies or even sells these artifacts, he will be punished by law!
After listening to the expert's explanation, the man knew that the expert's approach was actually for his own good, so he did not argue, but chose to hand over to the country, and then he also got the affirmation of the state because of the handover, thus reaping the corresponding rewards.
brief summary
In the five-thousand-year-long history of China, there have been countless rare treasures, and these treasures have not all been properly preserved after many years, in addition to the damaged part, there are many disappeared in history, hidden in a corner of the world, waiting for people to discover.
It should be clear that under Chinese law, these historic artifacts belong to the state, so even if they are excavated, they do not mean that they have ownership.
The man in the story is just an ordinary farmer, his cultural level is not high, only know that the value of cultural relics is high, he wants to get rich is understandable, but the greed for national cultural relics is not advisable, if the cultural relics are sold, it is even more necessary to be punished for reselling cultural relics!
Here, I also hope that everyone can know the law and abide by the law, if there are cultural relics found must be handed in in time, which can not only get rewards, but also can make a contribution to our country, why not enjoy it!
