The descendants of the Qing Dynasty generals took out the heirlooms, experts suggested turning them in, and the old people left the two words
As an ancient civilization with a long history, the mainland has a large number of very valuable cultural relics. There are ancient human fossils from the ancient period in the distance, and there are treasures brought out of the palace by Puyi. It can be said that no matter what type of antiques, there are many in the mainland.
However, for various reasons, there are currently many treasures in the mainland that have not been properly stored in museums, but are still scattered in the folk and are regarded by many families as so-called heirlooms. And the thing we want to talk about today is a national treasure that is scattered in the folk and is not regarded as an heirloom.
This national treasure is the Qing Dynasty general soldier waist card in the hands of the old man Yi Shaobai in Hunan Province. As a symbol of the status of the general soldier, such a waist plate can be said to be very rare in the Qing Dynasty. However, due to various reasons at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the ancestors of the old man Yi Shaobai eventually returned to his hometown with his own waist card and regarded his waist card as his family heirloom.
Although everyone knows the official position of the chief soldier, it may not be clear about the status of the general soldier in the Qing Dynasty. Looking at the whole country of the Qing Dynasty, there were only eighty general soldiers, and the general soldiers were erpin officials, which showed the high status of the general soldiers in the Qing Dynasty. Not only that, but the general soldier is still one of the few high-ranking officials with real power, who is in charge of everything under his command, which can be described as a real high position of authority.
Knowing the status of the general soldier, the importance of the general soldier's waist card can naturally be imagined. For the museum, if you can get a waist card of the Qing Dynasty general soldiers, not to mention the actual value, the value of research alone is very high. Therefore, after learning that the old man had a waist plate in his hand, the local museum directly went to the door, hoping that the old man could donate this waist plate to the local museum.
However, after learning the intention of the museum, the old man rejected the museum's request quite bluntly. For the elderly, what he values may not be the economic value of the waist card, but the value of the waist card to the entire family. After all, this waist card has been an heirloom for so long, and suddenly it will be handed over by others, and no one will be willing.
Most importantly, this waist plate is not a cultural relic of unknown origin, but a normal collection of the elderly from generation to generation. Therefore, although the local museum very much wants this waist plate, it is helpless!
Not only that, but the old man said that he would continue to treat this waist plate as his family heirloom, rather than donating it to the local museum. For this statement of the elderly, the local experts are also helpless, and can only take advantage of the excitement and return.
And this practice of the elderly, if viewed from the perspective of the state and social development, the practice of the elderly seems to be somewhat selfish. However, from the perspective of the elderly, we can still understand the old man's approach! However, I think this matter can completely save the country, another way of thinking and angle.
After all, the idea of the old man and the museum is to properly keep this precious waist plate, so the two sides can fully cooperate. The old man can temporarily put the waist card in the museum and let the museum collect it in his place. The museum can better protect and study this waist plate, and the ownership of the waist plate still belongs to the elderly, and the waist plate is still the heirloom of the elderly.
In this way, you can better protect and study this waist card.
