There are heart-planted flowers that do not bloom, and there is no heart to plant willows. - "Augmenting the Sages"
In life, sometimes it takes a lot of energy and persistently pursues things, and it is often difficult to achieve the desired purpose, but sometimes it is inadvertently obtained, full of huge surprises.
As in the case of "Augmenting the Sages", there are hearts to plant flowers, irrigate with heart, and careful care, and finally the flowers are withered, while the willow branches planted casually quietly surprise everyone.
In 1978, three students in Jiangsu took bird eggs in the Ruiguang Temple because of their greed, and as a result, they accidentally pulled out a thousand-year-old treasure - the pearl relic.
There is a saying: "There is no place to step on the iron shoe, and it takes no effort to get it."
The treasure that has been hidden for many years, but it reappears in such an unexpected way, it has to make people feel that the world is unpredictable, and also marvel at the mystery of fate.
Suzhou Ruiguang Temple Pagoda is a key cultural relics protection unit in the mainland, which was built in 247 and rebuilt in 1008.
According to relevant historical records, during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, Sun Quan was called empress, and in order to welcome the Kangju monks from the Western Regions, he specially built the Puji Zen Temple, renamed it Ruiguang Temple, and spread Buddhism to them.
Ten years later, Sun Quan was grateful to his mother Ende, and because her mother was devoted to The Buddha, he deliberately built thirteen stupas in Ruiguang Temple.
In 1978, three teenagers living near Ruiguang Temple came to visit the temple, which became their best secret base after school.
But at this time, they would never have imagined that the place where they often played would hide a valuable treasure, and they had inadvertently discovered and obtained a treasure that shocked the world.
After running around the temple for a while, they were caught by two birds flying around, and when they saw that the birds were always around, they concluded that the nest must be nearby, so they decided to "take the bird's egg".
After some searching, they locked their eyes on the core pillar of the stupa, and they were curious to find out.
They were young and small in size, so they climbed up the core pillar of the tower one after another.
The tower was pitch black, but at this moment they only felt the thrill of exploration, without the slightest fear of darkness and the unknown. In the tower where they could not see ahead, they groped forward step by step, cheering each other on.
Suddenly, one of the teenagers stepped on a trapdoor, and listening to the sound of the pedal, there must be a small space hidden underneath.
They were so bold that they were surprised, a surprise that belonged to the brave adventurers.
They quickly opened the floor and found that there was a box stored inside, and they immediately opened the box to see what kind of treasure was hidden.
The result was very "disappointing" to them, because what was inside was something they were not interested in and could not understand, but what they did not know was that the contents of this box were treasures worth 5 billion yuan.
This is really no coincidence, they originally only wanted to dig the bird eggs, but the bird eggs did not make it, but pulled out a unique big treasure, and really did not intend to plant willows.
After the three teenagers opened the box, they found that there was a golden pagoda inside, as well as some Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues.
They were not interested in these things, but only curiosity to find out, and when they saw specific things, they were not too excited.
However, looking at the golden stupa, they also realized that this thing was not simple, so they did not throw it away, but brought it back to their homes.
However, because they did not know the preciousness of these things, they did not take care when inspecting them, resulting in more or less damage to the cultural relics inside, and some of the Buddhist scriptures were torn by them to burn the fire.
However, although some of the Buddhist scriptures have been lost and some of the cultural relics have been damaged, it is fortunate that they are still within the acceptable range.
The three children brought the treasure home, and after communicating with the parents, they decided to hand over the treasure to the country. Therefore, accompanied by their parents, the three teenagers took these cultural relics and went to the Suzhou Museum to hand them over to the relevant person in charge.
Suzhou Museum received these cultural relics naturally attaches great importance to it, in order to thank these teenagers for finding treasures and their families' righteousness, Suzhou Museum also specially sent them 50 pounds of food stamps as a reward.
After expert identification, it was confirmed that this magnificent stupa was a container specially used to hold the relics of Buddhist monks, and they named it the Jewel Relic.
It is estimated that this ingenious pagoda has a market value of at least 5 billion yuan.
In the present life of the jewel relic, we must thank the three teenagers for their "play", and we should thank them for picking up gold and handing over this treasure so that we can see its brilliance in the Suzhou Museum.
Through careful study of the jewel relics treasure building, experts have found that this treasure has a profound meaning from the selection of materials to the design connotation.
The pagoda is mainly composed of nan wood, and the three main parts, corresponding to the three meanings of Buddhism, are telling people that its origin is extraordinary.
In addition, the pagoda body is connected using gemstones, and in addition to the largest gem of the treasure building, there are 40,000 pearls of different sizes and various precious gemstones inlaid throughout the tower.
Such a luxurious configuration is inevitably amazing, and the gems of the pagoda tower are difficult to find in the modern era of advanced technology.
These luxurious decorations seem to be wordlessly telling people about his former glory and showing its charm.
When experts wanted to recreate the jewel, they found that this idea could not be realized.
It is hard to imagine the craftsmanship of the people who made this stupa, even modern craftsmanship cannot reproduce its complex craftsmanship and exquisite workmanship.
The birth of the pearl relics treasure house is as full of magical colors as its appearance, and its sudden appearance has amazed the world, and its existence has made people feel the brilliance of ancient civilization.
Even later experts, if they want to reproduce its reproduction through modern scientific and technological means, they cannot do it, as if to declare to people that it should be a unique treasure.
Now it lies quietly in the Suzhou Museum, silently attracting people's stunning eyes, spoiled in the long river of years.
A priceless treasure appeared so suddenly and unexpectedly, and it turned out that it was a coincidence that it could have been so rewarding by mistake.
Cultural relics attract people not only the beauty and characteristics of its appearance, but more importantly, the meaning of the times it represents, and the value of its own craftsmanship.
The wisdom of the ancients is so shocking that it is hard to imagine how they could make such a shocking treasure in ancient times when the technology was not developed.
Therefore, we want to use these treasures to spy on the glory and style of their time.
The appearance of each treasure is a gift of the times to modern people, and it is also the most precious gift left to us by history.
These treasures carry the customs and culture of that era, travel through the long years, come to us, and bring us their wonderfulness.
Therefore, excavating more cultural relics and studying these antiquities is to let us find the roots of civilization, not forget history, and inherit culture.
