introduction
Due to the rapid development of the social economy, people's quality of life has been significantly improved, so many people began to pursue the needs of the spiritual world. The spiritual world is naturally inseparable from the term "collection". As the saying goes, collecting antiquities is not just a process of pursuing the truth, but a process of understanding tradition, a process of recalling the years. In addition, cultural relics are highly sought after by people with the title of "elegant", and because of this, the price of cultural relics has also risen again and again, and there will never be an upper limit
01
Just as the so-called "there is a market there is demand", antique collectors are not all rich people, casually selling millions of dollars, many people began to play the idea of the rich - "counterfeiting".
Seeing this, many readers may ask, is it not illegal to fake items? In fact, for the imitation of cultural relics, there is no clear provision in the law, because many modern crafts today are designed to imitate ancient cultural relics, and from this point of view, the "water" of this industry is bound to be unfathomable. Moreover, if the "crafts" imitated by others are so easily identified, then the level of imitation will certainly not go far in this line.
This also has a later word, but all people who play antiques have some discernment ability, after all, the antique industry has a rule, and people and goods will never regret it after two clearances. In other words, the level of profit depends on the level of risk. Because the interests are too high, so many people have not been able to hold on to it, and they have desperately devoted themselves to the antique market.
Mr. Wang is also one of them, and he is also the protagonist of this article. Originally, he was just an unknown little person, due to the failure of the family business, he had to change to a small boss in the antique industry, but even the small boss could not stand "good luck". Out of demand for goods, he often went to the antique market to shop for things, which is commonly known as "picking up leaks".

Logically, there is such a treasure, which has long been cleaned up by knowledgeable people, is there really a leak to be picked up? As it turns out, it does.
First of all, when the antiquities will appear on the stall, no one can be sure. In addition, the order of buyers' appearances is also uncontrollable, and not everyone can stay in the market in the endless wait. In addition, the most important point is that even if people and things appear at the same time, people must have the ability to recognize goods. Combined, the probability becomes very low.
Time to 2009, Mr. Wang as usual to the market to hang out, a stall selling ancient books caught his attention, before, he had no interest in this type of cultural relics, after all, books and other cultural relics are too rare, and not easy to preserve, there are many people have some mustard, but from another point of view, it is precisely because it is not easy to preserve, it makes it more rare.
With the mentality of trying it out, Mr. Wang began to carefully select, and when he saw a Song Dynasty engraving, his heart was moved.
As we all know, the Song Dynasty is a dynasty in the history of the mainland that attaches great importance to cultural development, and the status of the literati is relatively high, so the cultural relics and products are naturally also exhibited in the world, and the value of the engravings that can gather the ideological essence of the literati of the Song Dynasty is immeasurable. It is worth noting that during the Ming Dynasty, the engraving value of the Song Dynasty was extremely precious and loved by countless people.

In 2012, appraisal expert Li Zhizhong began to identify for him, and when he saw that the engraving was in tatters, he only held the mentality of trying it out, but combined with factors such as typography, ink color, and knife technique, this is the cultural relics of the Northern Song Dynasty.
In this regard, Li Zhizhong introduced the origin of the "engraving", which is from the "Libu Rhyme Strategy" of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Song Renzong Period, commonly known as the revised version of the "Guangyun", and its meaning is like our current "Xinhua Dictionary". Ancient characters are somewhat difficult to identify, and the value of this book is to provide convenience for students in Guangdong University to better read the text.
After obtaining reliable evidence, Mr. Wang facilitated the auction of this object in 2013, and the starting price of 8 million yuan was finally sold at 26 million, and the "leak picking" can be described as a successful foothold.
In fact, such antiquities are undoubtedly a major loss to the country, and many experts believe that he should be handed over to the state and kept by the relevant departments in order to survive forever and reflect its true research value. But despite the persuasion of many people, Mr. Wang still chose to deal with this "dictionary" in his own way.
epilogue
"Sudden wealth" is the idea of many people, but sudden wealth also depends on ability, chance, like Mr. Wang, there are very few people who can succeed, I hope you are still down-to-earth to work hard. At the same time, I hope that everyone can have a certain degree of ideological awareness, think more about the country and the people, cultural relics belong to everyone, not the private property of individuals, and cannot disregard the overall situation for their own selfish desires.
