"On the merits of the Quasi-Ping Wu Case, together with the gold casting Zi Ang." In ancient times on the continent, gold was an important monetary metal and a symbol of wealth. In the Ming Tombs Museum, we can see the Golden Wing Good Crown of the Wanli Emperor, which is made of gold wire, the production method is very complicated, and the value is immeasurable. After seeing this cultural relic, many readers will think that the value of gold products with more complex shapes will be relatively high.
In real life, everyone will go to the gold shop to buy jewelry, the style of gold jewelry is more complicated, its price will be more expensive, because the production cost is high, but there are also many simple gold products, but it has a high collection value. Today, the simple cultural relics that Xiaobian wants to introduce to you is a "golden frog".
Mr. Zhao of Taizhou has an ancestral small golden frog, its back to the bottom of the tail, a total of 4 inline stripes of different lengths, the golden frog's eyes are large, in a posture of looking up, it seems to jump, from the production method, it is likely to be cast at one time.
Mr. Zhao likes this little frog very much, so he wants to find someone to identify its value, but he has found three friends who like to collect, and they all said that they could not say the doorway, and suggested that he go to the cultural relics expert to identify it.
It happened that the cultural relics experts from the province came to the local seminar, so Mr. Zhao took the little golden frog to the meeting site and wanted to take the opportunity to let the experts help see it. After being introduced by a friend, Mr. Zhao handed his little golden frog to a very famous expert in the field of cultural relics and explained his intentions.
After the expert took the little golden frog, his expression was a little unnatural, and his hands were still slightly shaking. After careful observation, the expert said to Mr. Zhao: This is a treasure! When the other experts heard the voice, their eyes immediately focused on the little golden frog. Although the shape of the little golden frog is relatively simple, the bottom of this golden frog is printed with the words "Tang Dynasty Vault", but what can the word at the bottom of the golden frog represent?
In 641, the tufan king Songzan Gampo proposed to the Tang emperor, and Li Shimin married Princess Wencheng to Songzan Gampo for the friendship between the two sides. In ancient mainland China, when a princess was married, the emperor would prepare a generous dowry for her.
According to relevant records: Princess Wencheng's marriage procession is more than ten miles, from which we can infer that Princess Wencheng's dowry is very rich. In addition, Li Shimin also specially ordered craftsmen to make a batch of golden frogs, golden Buddhas, and golden bricks, and let Princess Wencheng give them to the turpan leader, and these items were engraved with "Tang Dynasty Treasury".
When the golden frog once again flows into the Central Plains, it means that the Turpan people have come to the interior to do business and leave it behind, which is why this little golden frog has immeasurable value. After accurate instrument inspection, the gold content of this little frog is about 90%, which provides an important basis for future generations to study the economic and technological development of the society at that time.
Cultural relics are not only the carrier of inheritance culture, but also the witness of historical development, the value of the little golden frog has been discovered by everyone, I believe that with the development of the times, experts will find more precious cultural relics, making our cultural market more abundant. Dear readers, after learning the specific meaning of the little golden frog, do you think it is very cute?
