Two bags of ancient books were exchanged for a silver dollar, and the cultural relics dealers all expressed disgust and were bought as national treasures by the qing dynasty widows
It is often said that people cannot be disguised, and the sea is incomparable. In fact, not only people have connotations, but also the connotations of objects should not be underestimated. Many inconspicuous things can have a big effect. This is the case with many ancient artifacts, because of the influence of multiple factors, ancient objects are scattered in the folk.
Ordinary people can't distinguish the value of cultural relics, and can only know that this thing may be an old object, but it is not clear how high the specific value is. In the past, the living conditions were not as good as they are now. In the past, exchanging an object for a bowl of rice could save a person's life.
After the fall of the Qing government, the Beiyang warlords took over the cabinet. When they entered the cabinet, they found that there were many archives inside
For the Beiyang warlords, these archives are useless at all, and they still occupy the place. To make room for work, they organized the archives into 8,000 sacks weighing 150,000 pounds.
Due to financial difficulties, the Beiyang government wants to sell these "waste papers".
The dealers who came to the palace to collect cultural relics spent four thousand silver dollars to buy these archives, and the 8,000 bags of archives sold for 4,000 silver dollars, which is two bags of archives for one silver dollar.
He got it and was disappointed. He originally wanted to collect the works of the emperor and his concubines, but instead he received a pile of waste paper.
The dealers sold the archives to the bookstore, before the bookstore was ready to send the archives to the paper mill
Luo Zhenyu, a qing dynasty widow, discovered these treasures and these archives survived.
It turns out that these archives are ancient books of the Qing Dynasty that record what happened during the Qing Dynasty. You must know that the things of the Qing Dynasty for hundreds of years are all in this, from the emperor to the throne, to the division of labor of the palace women to serve the concubines to wash.
Although the cabinet is very large, it takes a lot of paper to record all these chores. So there are many ministers who have proposed burning these records and reorganizing the cabinet. Fortunately, such ideas have been rejected, and we can now see these archives.
Mr. Luo spent 12,000 oceans to buy these archives, and during the Civil War, these ancient books went around and finally returned to the hands of the state in 1929.
Archaeologists on the modern continent have compiled these records and published books.
These archives have now become the treasures of the town and enjoy the status they deserve. These archives have a very important reference role for us to understand the history of the Qing Dynasty for hundreds of years, because history cannot be reproduced, and we can only understand history through words. And the text of these cabinet records is very true, and there is no need to worry about distorting history because of the subjective views of the recorders.
Some friends may be very sympathetic to the suffering of this batch of archives, in fact, many national treasures have been snubbed in this way. Facsimile of Wang Xizhi
《Shangyu Ti》
The storage room of the Shanghai Museum has been shelved for a long time and has not been found, but fortunately, an expert went to the storage room to find something and found it, otherwise we would not be able to see everyone's facsimile now.
Wang Xizhi's original handwriting can no longer be found in this world, fortunately, there are many people in history who are his fans, and during the Tang Dynasty, there was a calligrapher who copied Wang Xizhi's Shangyu Post, and the calligraphy method was very similar to Wang Xizhi. Therefore, when this work has been exhibited, it has been well received by all walks of life and has become the treasure of the Shanghai Museum.
Whether it is people or objects, as long as we do not have the ability to see through the essence at a glance, we should not easily draw conclusions, otherwise it will not only humiliate people, but also affect the future of others.
