Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the attention of the masses everywhere to cultural relics and antiques has been much higher than that of the war period. Most people know nothing about cultural relics, even if they know that the thing in their hand may be a treasure, they can't judge the specific value, and they need to find experts to help identify it.
Therefore, the treasure hunting program began to prevail, and a man took the initiative to sign up to go to the scene in order to identify the things in his hand. On stage, the man took a suitcase and confidently stepped onto the stage.
The host looked at him, smiled and asked, sir, what do you call it? The treasure hunter explained that my name is Zhang Youshan, and I am very happy to participate in our show.
The host then asked, you brought a big box, there should be a lot of treasures in it. Mr. Zhang replied with a smile that what I brought today was a group of Buddha statues.
Speaking, Mr. Zhang opened the suitcase and took out 3 Buddha statues from inside, the Buddha statue in the middle, looking somewhat like Guanyin, and the two next to him were mighty, like lions. Looking at the appearance alone, the 3 Buddha statues that Mr. Zhang took out are very old, and they seem to be very old cultural relics.
The host looked at him a few times and asked Mr. Zhang, can you tell me about the origin of these two treasures? Mr. Zhang replied that I bought these 3 Buddha statues from the waste station for 20 yuan.
The audience at the scene listened to this, they were very surprised, only spent 20 yuan, or bought from the waste station, can this be a treasure?
Mr. Zhang explained that at the beginning, he did not treat these 3 Buddha statues as treasures and bought them home, but just thought it was a bit beautiful and wanted to put them in the house as a decoration.
One day his second uncle came to visit his home and was stunned when he saw these 3 Buddha statues. The second uncle has been studying antique cultural relics all his life and is a very discerning person.
After carefully looking at the 3 Buddha statues, he stressed to Mr. Zhang that these 3 things are not ordinary, at least worth 1 million, if you sell them, you can give them directly to me.
Mr. Zhang knew that the second uncle would not deliberately deceive himself, but he still felt a little incredible, after all, this thing was indeed bought by him for 20 yuan, and he never dreamed that this thing could actually be worth 1 million.
Mr. Zhang was worried that the second uncle would look away, so he came to the scene of jianbao and looked for experts to help see if it was true or false. If it was really valuable, he sold it for money and bought a house for his son to use when he got married.
After reading it, the expert explained to Mr. Zhang that the portraits in the 3 Buddha statues are not Guanyin statues, but the statues of the Nine Heavenly Goddesses, and the two next to them are golden unicorns. Looking at the craftsmanship and materials, it should be something of the Han Dynasty.
When Mr. Zhang heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and hurriedly asked the experts how much these 3 Buddha statues were worth. Experts commented that these 3 Buddha statues are a complete set and have great historical research value, at least worth tens of millions.
The audience listened to this appraisal and issued an exclamation, and the smile on Mr. Zhang's face was also a few points thicker. Not long after the results were happy, the expert told him that these 3 treasures were very precious and should be handed over to the museum, and it was best not to keep them in their hands.
Mr. Zhang was very unhappy, and he angrily rebuked, "Why, I still want to keep buying a house." Experts insist that this is not ancestral, it is likely to be dug out of the soil, and it is best to hand it in.
Mr. Zhang categorically refused to say that I bought it from the scrap station, that it was a dignified place, that it was not something in the soil, and that I had the right to keep it.
Experts see Mr. Zhang's firm attitude, no longer strong demand to turn in, some politely said to Mr. Zhang, I let you turn in is afraid that you will cause trouble, if you do not want to turn in, you can sell to me, and then I turn in, I give you 2 million, enough for you to buy a house for your children. Mr. Zhang was silent for a moment and told the experts that he should reconsider.
After the program was broadcast, Mr. Zhang's matter caused a heated discussion, some people felt that the experts were coveting his treasure, and some people felt that the expert really wanted to hand over the treasure to the country. What do you think about that?
