Life was like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get.

Just as the so-called Sai Weng lost his horse and knew that it was not a blessing, life is so wonderful, full of variables, maybe at this time encountered a bad thing, but bad things can be transformed into good things because of various opportunities, just like the famous movie "Forrest Gump" said, life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what the next one will taste.
No, 10 years ago, when a wave of treasure hunting fever began to rise in the mainland, a Hebei man found the expert of the treasure collection program group, saying that he spent 200,000 yuan to buy a sword of Zhao Yun that year, but was told by the experts that in fact, this is a fake.
The history of the development of the sword
The sword is a gentleman in the weapon, a sacred product of ancient weapons, as early as the Yellow Emperor period when the bronze smelting technology was just beginning, the prototype of the sword has already appeared. However, due to the limitations of smelting technology and sword casting technology, for a long time from the emperor to the Eastern Zhou, the length of the sword was very short, and it could only be used as a self-defense or assassination weapon.
This situation did not slowly change until the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. In the eastern zhou dynasty, the monarchy weakened, and the princes of various places attacked each other, which opened the "arms race" in ancient times, that is, during that time, bronze smelting technology advanced by leaps and bounds, and even iron smelting technology appeared.
The progress of technology also led to the development of the sword, the length of the sword became longer and longer, the length of the famous Yue Wang's sword reached 55 centimeters, and it was continuously lengthened in the following time. By the time of the Three Kingdoms period, the length of the sword used for the battlefield was already more than 1 meter, and the material used was mainly iron rather than bronze.
A blessing in disguise
This man's family is very rich, so even if he has a hobby of collecting and playing with ancient swords, he can support it. And he is quite obsessed with the sword, because the sword is often not just a weapon, but also a symbol.
In the Tang Dynasty, the sword was no longer a weapon in war, but became an accessory, such as Li Bai liked to pin a sword around his waist, on the one hand, because he himself practiced swordplay, and the swordplay was also very good, and on the other hand, the sword could also reflect the heroic style of the wearer, in short, it was good-looking and handsome.
Therefore, the sword sometimes becomes a symbol of dignity and status, and it is no wonder that this man likes it so much. But just as the so-called "care is chaos", when the man heard that someone was selling Zhao Yun's sword, the man did not think much about it, nor did he go to collect evidence, and immediately spent 200,000 yuan to buy the sword.
After all, the era of Zhao Yun's life has been 1800 years ago, coupled with Zhao Yun's fame in the mainland, 200,000 to buy his sword, is completely a bloody business. But when the treasure expert told him that the sword he bought was a fake, he was also a bit dumbfounded for a while.
Knowing is not bliss
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the sword used by Zhao Yun is called the Qingyi Sword, and it is said that the iron cut is extremely sharp as mud. Although the Qingyi Sword was fictional, according to the era of the Three Kingdoms, the sword used by Zhang Yun should be an iron sword.
However, what the man brought was a bronze short sword, so naturally it could not be Zhao Yun's sword. When the man was a little disappointed, the expert told him that although this was not the real Zhao Yun's sword, it was more valuable than Zhao Yun's sword.
After their research, this sword should be a bronze sword of the Spring and Autumn Period, and there is a line on the hilt of the sword, which reads "Yue Wang's will is to look at", which is obviously related to the Yue King's collusion. However, the Yue King's sword has long been unearthed and collected in the museum, so this sword cannot be the sword of the Yue King.
After further investigation, the experts basically determined the ownership of this sword - it was the sword of Lu Yin, the son of the Yue King. After the death of King Yue, Lu Yin took the throne, because he knew that his father had a sword, and he also wanted to build a sword comparable to his father, so a "Yu Jian Sword" came out, and this line of boys, meaning "Yu Jing Sword" created at the behest of Yue King.
Experts have thus unveiled the mystery of their own sword for the man, and after expert valuation, if this sword is put on the auction field, it can at least sell for a price of more than 5 million yuan, although the man was "pitted" this time, but the yin and yang really earned blood, but is not "Sai Weng lost his horse, knowing that it is not a blessing"?
