As the saying goes: "Horses have no night grass and no fat, people have no foreign wealth and no wealth" Many people have dreamed that one day there will be good things that will fall from the sky and happen to themselves, so that they can get rich overnight. At the end of the 1970s, a young farmer encountered such a good thing, when he was mowing grass in the wild, he accidentally found a box of gold, and later people voluntarily handed it over to the state. Of course, the state did not treat him badly and rewarded him with a tractor. A true story full of positive energy.
One day in 1979, a remote rural credit union in Pinglu County, Shanxi Province, walked in from a young farmer, walked up to the counter, took out a few cake-shaped gold nuggets from his clothes pocket and handed them to the credit union staff, asking for help in identifying authenticity. After the staff of the credit union, they thought that it was indeed gold, but it seemed that it should be ancient gold. After the salesman of the credit cooperative asked about the origin of these golden cakes, he obtained the consent of the young farmers and notified the experts of the county cultural relics institute to come and appraise them.
After the experts of the county cultural relics institute rushed to the credit cooperative, they carefully identified the gold cakes in the hands of the young peasants, and based on the words "Qianyuan Yuan" engraved on one of the gold cakes, they deduced that these gold cakes were cultural relics of the Tang Dynasty. Experts are very surprised, how can a young farmer have such valuable cultural relics in his hands? After carefully inquiring about the origin of these pieces of gold cakes from the young farmer, he learned that these gold cakes were actually picked up by the young farmer.
The young farmer told the experts that he was a member of the Tunjungou Brigade in Pinglu County, Shanxi Province, and that yesterday he went with several villagers to mow grass in the ravine. He inadvertently looked up and found a wooden box on the earth cliff above the ditch. Out of curiosity, he and the villagers dug out the wooden box. After opening the wooden box, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the wooden box was filled with yellow gold. Since the locals had a rule that when they picked up things, "the one who saw it had a share", he and these villagers happily divided the box of gold on the spot. Not knowing whether the gold in his hand was real or fake, or how much it was worth, the young farmer came to the credit union the next day with a few pieces of gold cake to ask for an appraisal.
After listening to the young peasants' accounts, the experts of the Cultural Management Institute explained to him the state's cultural relics policy and mobilized the young farmers to take the initiative to hand over the cultural relics they had picked up to the state. The young farmer happily agreed to hand it in, and promised to return to the village to find the villagers who had collected the gold with him, and persuaded them to hand over the gold on their own initiative. Although some villagers could not figure it out, soon after, the gold in the hands of the villagers who divided up the gold was confiscated. In order to commend the young farmer for voluntarily handing over the national cultural relics, the local government specially held a commendation meeting to reward the young farmer with a brand new tractor.
Later, after an inventory by the cultural relics department, the young farmer found a total of 193 gold artifacts. They are gold collar, gold chain, gold leaf and gold flakes, with a total weight of 33,025 grams (about 70 catties). According to the gold of that era of 30 yuan a gram, the value of this gold is about 1 million yuan. But as a historical relic of the Tang Dynasty, the value of these gold cannot be measured with more money.
So, who is buried on the cliff with so much gold? Archaeologists finally found the answer by looking for documents and physical comparisons.
Because some of the gold ingots are marked with the words "Qianyuan First Year", this is more convenient to check. Qianyuan was the era name of Emperor Suzong of Tang, and during this period the Tang Dynasty was in the midst of the Anshi Rebellion. In addition, 5 gold ingots are inscribed with the inscription "Zhang Tongru Que". So, who is Zhang Tongru? What does he have to do with this gold?
Zhang Tongru was a prominent figure during the Tang Dynasty, and during the An Shi Rebellion, he assisted An Lushan in opposing the Tang Dynasty, and was appointed by An Lushan as the retainer of Xijing. After An Lushan became emperor, Zhang Tongru was made chancellor.
According to expert analysis, this batch of gold is the family property of Zhang Tong's Confucianism. At the end of the "An Shi Rebellion", the rebels of An Lushan and the Tang army fought fiercely in the area of Tunjungou, and the rebels were gradually defeated, and Zhang Tongru, seeing that the situation was not good, buried these golden treasures on the cliff and prepared to take them later. Unexpectedly, Zhang Tongru was killed in the war, and the burial place of his chest of gold was unknown.
Later, this batch of precious gold artifacts, which had been hidden for thousands of years, was discovered by a young farmer and voluntarily handed over to the state. Now, this precious batch of gold objects is in the collection of the Shanxi Provincial Museum. They no longer belong to the individual, but to the Chinese.
This batch of gold artifacts was discovered by a simple Shanxi peasant, but he was able to understand the overall situation, take the overall situation into account, take the initiative to explain the whereabouts and the country of these gold artifacts clearly, and take the initiative to hand over the gold he obtained, which is a very noble sentiment and is worthy of praise. For his selfless behavior, the state did not treat him badly, and rewarded him with a tractor, which at that time could also be regarded as a rich reward, and the peasant brother deserved it.
