In 2005, a man participated in an antique auction, spent 90,000 yuan, bought a worn-out robe that was auctioned, and when he returned home, he found that there was a shroud inside the jacket mezzanine, and he sent the shroud to the auction, and the result was more than 70 million yuan.
Mr. Qin of Beijing, who works in a cultural institution, usually likes to collect antiques.
One day in 2005, when he was visiting the market, there was an antique auction next to him, and Mr. Qin didn't bring much money at the time, just wanted to go in and see the liveliness.
At the end of the auction, the auction company took out an old robe worn by the monk and displayed it at the auction, when the starting price of the robe was 90,000 yuan, but no one held up a sign at the scene, and no one bought it, and finally it was auctioned.
Mr. Qin stood in front of the booth and looked at this robe carefully, and he always felt that it was not an ordinary robe. However, there was no money with him, he hesitated, and he did not raise a sign.
After the auction, Mr. Qin went home. But I have been thinking about this matter in my heart, and I always feel a little regret for not buying it. As soon as he gritted his teeth and borrowed fifty thousand yuan from a friend, he made up enough for ninety thousand, so he quickly ran to the auction company and bought this worn-out robe.
After buying it, please study the robe. One day, while observing the robes, he suddenly noticed that the robes had a sandwich.
He carefully opened the compartment and found that there was a golden silk satin full of scriptures, which made him ecstatic, so he quickly contacted the expert to help identify it.
After expert appraisal, he clearly told Mr. Qin that this was a shrouded quilt, which was covered on the body after the death of a person, and Mr. Qin was shocked when he heard it, and he was a little lost.
Experts say that this is not worth much, how much money you bought, I will give you double the money to buy this shroud.
Mr. Qin thought in his heart at that time, if there is no collection value, you are an expert, why do you have to give me double the price to collect. Therefore, Mr. Qin refused.
Next, Mr. Qin found some books and studied the scriptures, just to know what the scriptures meant. Because the scriptures on the silk were all Buddhist scriptures, he couldn't understand them, so he dragged his ties and found the master of the Buddhist Association of China, Master Hongdao, and asked him to identify them.
After careful and careful identification, the Red Dao Master told Mr. Qin very excitedly that this piece of gold silk satin was a treasure, and it was a quilt that was covered on his body when the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty died.
The above verse is the "Dravidian Sutra", and this golden quilt, called the "Dravidian Sutra Quilt", is a rare treasure.
After learning the news, Mr. Qin could not say anything excitedly, and when he returned home, he quickly treasured it.
More than two years have passed, and in 2007, Mr. Qin thought about it and put it up for auction.
As soon as the news came out that this piece of Dravidian had been put up for auction, many collectors were interested. On January 6, 2008, the Dravidian sutra was auctioned in Beijing.
After 11 rounds of bidding, this Dravidian was auctioned for 65.5 million yuan and was pocketed by a lady.
Plus the commission transaction price is 72.5 million yuan. Mr. Qin bought it for 90,000 yuan two years ago, and now it has appreciated to more than 70 million yuan, which he never dreamed of.
What Mr. Qin did not expect was that a year later, this Dravidian sutra was auctioned again, this time for 130 million.
Speaking of this, many friends have to ask, how can this Dravidian sutra be auctioned at such a high price?
Now I tell you: this is because of the royal scriptures, and there are only three of them that currently exist.
One was the Dravidian sutra used by Empress Dowager Cixi, and the other was lost overseas, and was later taken back by a patriot who spent a lot of money.
The third article is this one, the Kangxi Dravidian Sutra, and this one is well preserved. The above verses are clearly visible and of high research value.
Both of them are collected by the museum, and at present, only the Dravidian Sutra of Qianlong has been collected in the private collection. So, how could this royal quilt be sewn into the robes and circulated among the people?
Experts speculate that it is possible that in 1928, when the warlord Sun Dianying robbed the tomb in the Eastern Qing Dynasty, some soldiers took advantage of the chaos to bring out. Subsequently, this sutra was lost to the people.
Later, he was sewn in a robe by someone with a heart. No one expected that many years later, Mr. Qin borrowed money to buy this treasure robe with his intuition, and he was lucky to become a multimillionaire.
What is even more gratifying is that this priceless treasure has been re-emerged.
