There are many precious cultural relics on the mainland, some of which have been protected, some of which have become heirlooms, and some of which have been destroyed.
If we don't know that it is a cultural relic, and if we accidentally destroy it, we can only feel sorry, because those who do not know are not guilty.
If he knew that it was a relic and destroyed it, it would be infuriating, and of course, the law would punish him.
There is a man in Inner Mongolia with the surname Gao, who especially likes to fish.
Once, while he was fishing, there was something by the river, golden, and out of curiosity he went to the river and fished it.
It turned out to be a gold plaque engraved with patterns and some unintelligible text.
Mr. Gao was very excited after reading it and felt that this cultural relic was of great value.
Mr. Gao felt that he was lucky, this must be a treasure, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
Therefore, Mr. Gao took this golden sign to the city to consult experts.
After the expert saw it, he was very shocked and quickly asked him, "Where did the gold medal come from?" ”
Originally, this gold medal was a cultural relic from the Liao Dynasty, and the inscription on it was in Khitan script.
The Khitan has been extinct for more than 1,000 years, and Khitan artifacts are also rare, especially those inscribed with Khitan script.
Experts believe that this cultural relic has some important role in the study of Khitan writing, so they persuaded Mr. Gao to hand over the cultural relics to the state.
Mr. Gao was very unconvinced to listen to the expert's words, and felt that what he picked up was his own, so he left the gold medals.
The expert inquired many times and knew Mr. Gao's address, but after arriving, he found that the gold medal was missing.
It turned out that Mr. Gao found a gold shop, melted the gold medal, and beat it into a pair of gold bracelets.
Experts were both angry and regretful when they found out, and such a rare cultural relic was destroyed in this way.
Mr. Gao did not know the importance of cultural relics and showed his greed and ignorance to the fullest.
Such artifacts have been destroyed cleanly, and it is no wonder that experts sigh.
If you picked up an artifact, what would you do? Collect it yourself or give it to the state?
