The child picked up the "Queen Jade Seal", handed it in and rewarded 20 yuan, and the experts came to the door after 45 years
In traditional Chinese culture, gold collection has always been a virtue and has been passed down for thousands of years. If you don't take something that doesn't belong to you, you won't be in a hurry if you lose something. But gold collecting is only a moral code, not a legal constraint, so it is not mandatory. With the continuous development of society and the gradual improvement of the law, it has been written into the plain text that what is picked up by others must be returned. In today's age of temptation, it is really unwilling to give away "unearned" things.
China has a brilliant spiritual civilization, and in order to continue this tradition, enlightenment education is particularly important. Before the child's values are formed, the correct guidance and the virtue are deeply rooted in the bone marrow, so as to promote the development of society. At the end of the 1960s, a child picked up a very precious treasure, he did not take it for himself, and took the initiative to hand over to the state, and got a 20 yuan road subsidy. 45 years later, because this treasure expert came to the door again, why is this?
In September 1968, Kong Zhongliang, who was born in Shaanxi Province, returned home from school, bored and bored, he could not have fun, so he kicked small stones on the road and played. However, Kong Zhongliang suddenly kicked and twisted, and the small stone fell to the field. He searched for a trail, and suddenly he found a shining thing on the edge of the irrigation canal, and the sun shone brightly. Kong Zhongliang was very curious, and when he picked it up, it turned out to be a white seal, but it was very large, with an animal carved on it, and strange words engraved on the bottom.
Kong Zhongliang had never seen anything like this, and it was still a little cold to hold, which he particularly liked, so he wiped the dirt on the surface and put it in his bag. Back at home, Kong Zhongliang showed his father what he had picked up. When he picked up the seal and looked at it, his father's face instantly became solemn. Judging by his own feelings, he judged that it must be an ancient thing. Coupled with the text at the bottom, my father felt more and more that this thing was some years old.
The family looked at this treasure, their eyebrows were wide open, and they were too happy to speak. They knew it was precious, so they kept it carefully. Suddenly, one day, several cultural relics experts came to the village, who were looking for cultural relics that had been lost in the folk. Many people have taken out their own things to identify, some true and some false. When the experts came to Kong Zhongliang's house, they remembered the seal they had picked up, and they immediately found out for the experts to identify.
From an early age, his father taught Kong Zhongliang to be a good child with high morals and good gold, and things that did not belong to him must not be appropriated for himself. Although the family knew that the seal was valuable, reason told them that it was not their thing. Intuition had long told Kong Zhongliang's father that this was definitely a precious cultural relic. Later, the experts carefully identified and told them that the inscription was in seal body, and the content was "Queen's Seal". The jade seal is made of mutton fat jade, which is extraordinary.
Experts agreed that the seal engraved with the "Seal of the Empress" and the Tiger was the jade seal of the Western Han Dynasty. However, there is controversy in the academic community, believing that this is not Lü Yan's thing, first, because the skills of the early Western Han Dynasty did not reach such a standard, and compared with the cultural relics unearthed in the same period, the degree of exquisiteness far exceeded others; second, the Western Han Dynasty had a tradition of imitation, and this jade seal was very close to the craftsmanship of the Han Wudi period; third, the level of identification of experts in the sixties was limited, although it could be determined that it was a Western Han Dynasty thing, but whether it belonged to Lü Hou needed further investigation.
Kong Zhongliang's father and son took out such precious cultural relics, and the experts were very happy. When they learned of the historical value of the jade seal, they did not hesitate to choose to hand it over to the country. The staff thanked their father and son for their actions, and in order to encourage such virtues, the experts gave them a reward of 20 yuan. Although Kong Zhongliang's father and son were reluctant to accept it, the experts insisted on giving, and in the end they could only accept it. Later, this "Queen's Seal" became the treasure of the local museum.
Time is like an arrow, and 45 years have passed in the blink of an eye. Once an ignorant child, he is now an old man with two white sideburns. One day, Kong Zhongliang's family came to several museum experts, and they came to the door again for the sake of their father and son handing in cultural relics. At that time, the Shaanxi Shenzhou Han Cultural Protection and Development Foundation was going to hold a commendation meeting and issue certificates to those who contributed to the protection of cultural relics. Kong Zhongliang's deeds have not been forgotten, and this time the experts came to invite him to be a guest of honor and accept the honorary certificate.
Nearly half a century has passed, kong Zhongliang has long forgotten, but this time he also feels particularly honored to receive the award.
