One afternoon in 1968, 13-year-old Kong Zhongliang, as usual, happily carried home with his school bag. Because the school is far from home, every time he comes home, Sun Zhongliang has to walk for a while.

In order to pass the time on the road, Kong Zhongliang especially likes to pick up a branch and kick the stones on the road. However, this time, Kong Zhongliang actually found a "white stone".

The white stone shone brightly, and with curiosity, Sun Zhongliang dug out this stone to see. After some tossing, the white stone finally saw its true face.

Only to see this white stone, there is a tiger on the top, a square below, there are patterns around it, and there are words below, Kong Zhongliang only knows the two words of the queen.

In this way, Kong Zhongliang took this stone home, and when he returned home, his father saw that it seemed to be a cultural relic. The father did not think much about it, and the next day he took his son and cultural relics to the Shaanxi History Museum.

After coming to the museum, the museum's experts immediately recognized the four words "Queen's Seal", and it seemed that this word was from the Han Dynasty. So the experts began to consult the information and found that it was recorded in the "Han Guan Old Yi".

In the "Han Guan Old Yi" record: Empress Yuxi, Wen and Emperor Tong. Queen's Seal, Golden Tiger Button.

It turned out that this piece of empress jade seal was the jade seal of Empress Lü. This piece of jade seal is 2 cm high, 2.8 cm long on the sides, weighs 33 grams, and is carved from xinjiang Hetian mutton fat white jade.

This piece of jade seal jade is exquisite, the shape of the tiger is vivid, the seal text is regular and atmospheric, and the carving technique is skilled, which is the only imperial jade seal in the two Han Dynasties, which belongs to the national cultural relics.

However, after 32 years, the ignorant teenager of that year has become a middle-aged man with a wide heart and a fat body. Sun Zhongliang, 45, received a call from the Shaanxi History Museum, which Sun Zhongliang thought was a liar.

After verification, the original Shaanxi Shenzhou Han Culture Discovery Fund held a summary and commendation meeting on "Protecting Great Ruins and Promoting Han Culture", and commended 10 advanced individuals such as Kong Zhongliang.
