After the discovery of the Southern Song Dynasty shipwreck on the seabed and the cost of 300 million yuan to salvage it ashore, experts said bluntly: No loss
From ancient times to the present, sailing at sea has been a very risky action, especially after the formation of the Maritime Silk Road in the Qin and Han Dynasties, in this ancient sea route, there are many treasures that have been left behind unexpectedly. Due to the complex environment of the sea, it also causes many treasures to know where they are, but they do not have the ability to salvage, until now that the navigation technology has been fully developed, many treasures have the opportunity to be displayed in front of the world.
The Guangzhou Salvage Bureau had inadvertently discovered a shipwreck from the Southern Song Dynasty on the Maritime Silk Road, but at that time the technology was limited, and although it knew that there were many treasures on board, it had not been able to excavate until the development of technology. Due to the large number of artifacts on board, experts decided to excavate it in batches. The display gathered professionals who could diving operations to clean up the dirt around the wreck, and then slowly salvaged the exquisite items such as gold, silver, jade, porcelain and so on, with a cost of more than 300 million yuan.
Until now, the Southern Song Dynasty shipwreck has salvaged 140,000 cultural relics, but the salvage work is still not complete. Although 300 million yuan in archaeological work is a "huge" amount of money, experts still say that the decision to salvage the shipwrecks of the Southern Song Dynasty is very correct and not a loss!
As a relatively important ship on the ancient Chinese Maritime Silk Road, the value of this Southern Song Dynasty shipwreck is very high, whether it is the excavated cultural relics or its cultural and historical value. Unfortunately, the shipwreck is not recorded much in history. However, these cultural relics represent China's culture and history, and are China's property, so even if more money is spent for salvage, it is of great value and significance.
