preface
The mainland is a country with a long history of 5,000 years, and in the continuous change of the times, it has left a wealth of cultural knowledge, and there are also countless cultural relics handed down, which have an important role in the study of history, so their value is very high.
The cultural relics handed down are basically collected by the state and individuals, but some cultural relics are forgotten in a corner, waiting to be discovered by people with connections.
67 years ago, there was a little girl in Zhejiang, when she went up the mountain to collect medicine, she picked up a "small boat" and was rewarded with 68 yuan after handing it in, so what happened to her now?
Go up the hill to pick up medicine and pick up the boat
This girl's name is He Zhaodi, the family lives in Yan'er Village, Longquan County, Zhejiang Province, because the family conditions are not good, she dropped out of school at a very young age, in order to help the family reduce the burden, the sensible He Zhaodi often followed her parents to the fields to do farm work, and when she grew up, she became the pillar of the family.
In the year when He Zhaodi was seventeen years old, in order to make more money, she began to go up the mountain to dig for herbs, and in the process of digging herbs, she dug up an object in the shape of a small boat. At that time, He Zhaodi did not think much about it, thinking that the boat was a toy, so he casually put it in the box containing herbs, and then continued to concentrate on work.
He Zhaodi returned home and took the boat out to wash it with water, and when the dirt attached to the boat was washed away, the original appearance of the boat was revealed.
The boat was the size of a palm, the surface was brilliant, the color was bright, the workmanship was very delicate, and there were two little people on the canopy, and their facial expressions were carved to life, as if they were talking about something interesting. Next to him is a boat-pumping, whose movements are vivid and look quite interesting.
He Zhaodi held this beautiful and exquisite boat, she simply loved it, she felt that the boat might be a treasure, so she showed it to her grandfather. Grandpa He was well informed, and after carefully inspecting the boat, he knew that this must be a treasure, so he instructed He Zhaodi to collect the boat well, and it could be passed down as an heirloom in the future.
He Zhaodi listened to his grandfather's words and was very happy in his heart, he did not expect that he actually found the treasure, so he collected the boat well.
The reason why He Zhaodi's grandfather was so sure that the boat was a treasure was mainly because their hometown Oflongquan County was previously a place where porcelain was made, one of the six major porcelain kilns in the Song Dynasty, with a rich porcelain culture, and Longquan porcelain also has a world-famous title, called Longquan Sword Porcelain.
When he saw the texture of the boat, he thought about the place where he found it, and decided that the boat was porcelain made in Longquan County, so he told his granddaughter that this was a treasure and must be collected.
Cultural relics handed over to reward 68 yuan
The daughter picked up the treasure, and the parents were happy in their hearts, as if this was a great joy, and not sharing it with others was like something missing, so when Mother He went to drink the happy wine, she told the uncles and aunts in the village about this happy event.
Soon, the news that He Zhaodi picked up the treasure spread in the village, and the people of the ten miles and eight townships all knew about the boat, and it spread more and more widely, and finally even the local government knew about it, and also sent experts to he's house to check it out.
After some appraisal by experts, it was determined that the small boat was a cultural relic from the Song Dynasty and was made of porcelain from the Longquan kiln. The scientific name of this small boat is called water injection, which is a kind of stationery utensils, which are used as stone drops, and have the function of storing ink in the water.
This kind of boat-shaped stone drop is the first of the Longquan kiln, the whole body adopts pink blue glaze, emitting a light cyan luster, the hull length of 16.2 cm, the height of 9 cm, the internal structure is exquisite, the workmanship is fine, with super high artistic value, so it is named "Longquan kiln boat shaped stone drop".
This small boat was not only a treasure, but also a great value, even at the time, conservative estimates were worth hundreds of thousands of yuan or more. After listening to the expert's introduction, the He family knew that the boat was a cultural relic, and that the cultural relics they picked up were to be handed over to the state.
Although they knew that the boat was valuable, the He family decided to give the boat to the state, and the local museum gave them 68 yuan as a reward in order to praise the Spirit of the He family's contribution to the country. In fact, the 68 yuan was already a huge amount of money at the time, so the He family gladly accepted the money.
Originally, He Mother still wanted to wait for her daughter to get married, give the boat as a dowry to her, and then pass it on from generation to generation, but she did not expect that the boat was so big, it was a very valuable historical relic, and finally it could only be handed over to the state.
But the He family did not regret it, because they were making a total contribution to the country's understanding of ancient history, and they also received a reward of 68 yuan, which can be said to be a double gain of fame and fortune, and such a result is also a great joy for everyone.
How is He Zhaodi now?
Speaking of which, you may ask, what happened to the girl who picked up the boat? With the passage of time, the young girl of that year is now an old woman.
At the Longquan Celadon Exhibition at the Zhejiang Provincial Museum, He Zhaodi appeared, because it was a boat-shaped stone drop she found, so she was invited to the scene to visit the exhibits.
This is 67 years later, He Zhaodi for the first time with the boat close contact, her mood is very excited, looking at this boat, she feels very kind, as if the time has suddenly returned to the year, so she is very happy to stand next to the boat, take a photo with it.
From the matter of He Zhaodi, we can see the simplicity of that era, although the people in which era lived on a tight budget, but they were very kind, they could not be ignorant of gold, and they could take the initiative to hand over valuable treasures to the state, such a spirit of dedication is worth learning, and we should carry forward this spirit.
