In our current social life, the material aspect is no longer the most urgent need of people, and the spiritual level is more and more needed. The mainland is the only historical country in the world, which makes the mainland have a large number of historical monuments and historical relics. Although many monuments and cultural relics have been destroyed or excavated in the long years, there are still countless remaining, and the cultural relics market in society is also prosperous.
The prosperity of the cultural relics market has also made the price of historical relics rise, especially in various auctions, there have been many high-priced cultural relics. Coupled with the difficulty of identifying cultural relics for ordinary people, many people who have some careful thinking are ready to obtain huge profits in this market with fake and chaotic truth, and they often use various methods to produce fakes, and even some fakes make cultural relics experts unable to distinguish between true and false.
The mainland has also increased the protection of historical relics at the legal level, and cultural relics before the Tang Dynasty and state-level cultural relics are prohibited from being bought and sold. This also makes a large number of fakes appear in the cultural relics on the market, if you want to pick up leaks from these fakes and buy a real cultural relics, it is not only lucky, but also has a super high ability to identify cultural relics. These craftsmen who make fakes will make fakes very carefully, and the average person will never be able to distinguish them. For example, at the end of the last century in the mainland, there was an old man in the countryside, when he was bored, he made a batch of Northern Wei pottery figurines, and also got a high price to buy and sell in the antique market, never expected, not only this batch of fake pottery figurines sold out instantly, but some of the buyers were historical experts who specialized in the history of the Northern Wei Dynasty. When the expert first saw this batch of pottery figurines, he felt that they were absolutely genuine, so he spent 900,000 yuan to buy them back for research.
However, after a while, a large number of Northern Wei pottery figurines appeared in the antique market, and these experts suddenly woke up and felt that what they bought should be fakes. After that, the origin of these pottery figurines was investigated, and it was finally found that it was made by an old farmer in the countryside. The old farmer was also particularly fortunate not only to be fine, but also to become a special adviser to a historical museum. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the literary world, but the ending is very different, and some people may be punished for this.
The characters in this article are from xuzhou canal town in jiangsu province, mainland China, where most of the people in this town make a living by making some ancient jade. They usually buy some worthless jade, and then use some special process to process these jade into ancient jade that looks particularly high-end. In 2010, the owner of a shop in Canal Town that made ancient jade got a particularly good piece of ancient jade, which was also large in size, weighing more than a ton. The boss saw this piece of jade, and after hearing about it in the industry for so many years, he immediately reacted and became rich. Immediately after that, more than 20 craftsmen who made jade were found, and it cost more than 500,000 yuan to make this huge piece of jade into the shape of a dresser.
After several months of meticulous carving, the final production of this counterfeit cultural relics, looks beautiful, the average person can not see the authenticity of this jade. So the boss took this "cultural relic" to the market to sell, and was purchased by a collector for 1.6 million.
The collector who bought the artifact felt that he had received a rare treasure, so he went to some experts who specialized in identifying the artifact to identify the jade. Unexpectedly, this expert actually said that this is a cultural relic from the Han Dynasty period, and it is also a "national treasure level". The elated collector then took the jade to a professional auction and eventually sold it for 220 million. Such a high price naturally caused a sensation in the entire cultural relics community, and some experts questioned this jade. According to the historical records of the mainland, the stool did not begin to appear until the Sui and Tang dynasties and became widely popular, and the people of the Han Dynasty all sat on the ground. Saying that this cultural relic is from the Han Dynasty period is obviously not in line with history, just like our mobile phone, saying that it is a cultural relic from the Qing Dynasty. From this basis, it is entirely possible to conclude that this cultural relic is a fake.
Although many experts have questioned it, a cultural relics expert named Zhou Nanquan insisted that this was true, and said that it was definitely a rare "rare national treasure" in the world. Not only him, but also Yao Zheng, the director of the China Cultural Relics Collection Committee, also supported this cultural relic. He also said that the cultural relic was sold for 220 million yuan, which is really too low, and he believes that the value of the cultural relic is at least 1.5 billion. So the discussion in the cultural relics world about whether it is genuine has been continuous, and finally the owner who made this jade said that this was made by him, but it was a fake, which made these experts scold each other and stop fighting. Experts who think these are genuine also no longer speak up.
