Cultural relics are the historical and cultural heritage left by the ancestors, and have great value and significance for the study of ancient culture. In 2003, an old farmer in Henan caught a bronze turtle from the last year of the Shang Dynasty while fishing, and after looking for experts to identify, the old farmer handed over the bronze turtle to the state, hoping to play a role in historical research. But after a young man found cultural relics in the river, he destroyed them, which made people regret.
This young man' surname is Gao, he is from Inner Mongolia, and he likes to fish in the river when he has nothing to do. One day when he was fishing, he saw a golden shining thing by the river, and the young man was curious in his heart, and when he picked it up, he saw that it was a golden shining sign with some strange words engraved on it, and his intuition told him that this thing was not simple.
The young man picked up the treasure and took the gold medal home, and then concealed it from everyone and took the sign to the treasure hunting site to find experts to identify. The expert took the sign to look left and right, the young man also had some trepidation in his heart, at the end, the expert suddenly changed his look, his eyes lit up, and he was busy asking the young man where this gold medal came from.
From the reaction of the experts, it can be judged that this gold medal is worth a lot, and after the young man confessed truthfully, he only listened to the expert continue: "The text on this gold medal is Khitan language, and it looks like it should be something of the Khitan royal family, which is very valuable and very rare." The young man was overjoyed to hear the words, and it turned out that he had really picked up the treasure.
Then the expert said to him that this gold medal is not small, very valuable for research, if you have it, it may be of great help to the study of Khitan culture, so it is reasonable, he hopes that the young man can hand over this gold medal to the country. Although he spoke euphemistically, the young man understood.
Hand over the treasures you've picked up to the country? The young man suddenly had a sense of crisis in his heart, took the gold medal from the expert's hand and put it up, only said that he considered it, and then left the treasure hunting site. Because the cultural relics are valuable, the experts did not want to clash with him, so they let him go first.
The young man tossed and turned when he returned home, and had been struggling with whether to hand in the gold medal, and from a rational point of view, he really should hand in the cultural relics; but if he thought about it from his own standpoint, he was very reluctant, after all, this kind of good thing is not available every day. Besides, as a rural person, how long did he have to struggle to win such a gold medal? Now let him hand it over in vain, it is really reluctant.
In the end, the young man's heart was crossed, and he took the gold medal and melted it, and re-made it into a pair of gold bracelets, although the value plummeted, but fortunately it was not for nothing. But the fact that he had the Khitan gold medal in his hand had long been spread out, and the Cultural Relics Bureau had been looking around after hearing the news, and it took a lot of effort to find the boy's home and wanted to discuss the gold medal with him, and the result was that the young man showed his hand on the golden bracelet and said: "It has become a bracelet." ”
The staff was shocked, the experts were so angry that they reprimanded him, the cultural relics are unique, not to mention that the Khitan gold medal is worth a lot, has great research significance, he actually said that melting is melting?! Even if you are not willing to turn it in, there is really no need to destroy such a valuable thing for the sake of temporary benefits, right?
But the young man did not think that he had done wrong, in his opinion, what he picked up should be his own, and others were not qualified to force him to do what he wanted to do. For cultural relics experts, watching such a treasure being destroyed is really a major tragedy in the cultural relics industry.
