"Fish eyes are pearls, basil is not a hammer."
With the re-excavation of the Sanxingdui site, many rare treasures have reappeared in the mud, which has aroused the admiration of many netizens and made many people sigh.
No matter how long it takes and how thick the earth is wrapped, the truly valuable treasure still retains its original charm when it is re-introduced.
As a result, among Chinese netizens, a "national tide wind" was set off. At the same time, the cultural relics propaganda program "National Treasure", which is launched on time on CCTV every week, has also set off a big wave.
Compared with the embarrassing situation of most people advocating foreign culture in previous years, the national style aesthetic is setting off a new trend in China.
Cultural relics set off a "national tide wind"
People's cognition of the national style comes from one cultural relic after another of various dynasties and generations, and many people flock to the cultural play market that was once patronized only by uncles wearing reading glasses. A variety of objects are stacked on the carpet, and the authenticity of them is difficult to distinguish at a glance.
Knowledgeable people know that the best era of the literary play market is around the millennium. Many people's heirlooms are real cultural relics. More than 20 years have passed, and today, most of the people circulating in the wenju market are fakes, and insiders call them "fakes".
The appearance and manufacture of such objects imitating cultural relics not only imitates the pattern and style, but also imitates the traces left by their baptism after thousands of years, giving people a feeling of weather and frost.
Advanced counterfeiters will design and manufacture objects according to the characteristics of different generations of utensils, supplemented by polishing and processing, and even experienced identification experts cannot see that they are fakes.
The most expensive jade
In early 2011, an auction was being held at a building in Beijing.
The cultural relics sent for auction are dazzling, each with its own style, with constant holding up the card and hammering the hammer
Soon everyone waited for the finale star of this auction - a jade stool from the Han Dynasty.
Jade has a long tradition as a daily necessity in the mainland.
On the one hand, its pure jade is difficult to obtain, most of which is mined in the frontier mountains and forests far from the city; on the other hand, its transparent color coincides with the Confucian ideas of universal benevolence and incorruptibility and integrity, and is deeply loved by the royal family and ordinary people.
The soft texture of jade allows stonemasons to create unique patterns with a different aesthetic, so jade occupies a considerable position in many cultural relics that have been handed down.
And this finale lot turned out to be a stone bench carved from a complete jade, as well as a beautifully modified dresser, named "Han Dynasty Green Yellow Jade Dragon and Phoenix Pattern Dresser."

"It's a rare treasure.
The "stars" who were full of expectations finally appeared in front of everyone. It has a volume of 45x45x32 cm and weighs more than seventy pounds.
It ended up selling for 220 million yuan for 180 million yuan, setting a jade auction record and being the most expensive jade in the Chinese art auction market in 2011.
The suspicious point of the artifact
At that time, China's network has begun to develop, any big news will be examined by the netizens in the north and south of the world, soon, this news has become the center of the discussion of netizens, in 2011, China is in a period of development, people's living standards are not as good as now, 220 million yuan can be said to be sky-high, so there are good people who question the authenticity of this lot.
At that time, someone went to the website of Zhongjia Auction Company to check the records of this lot, but the owner of the auction company could not confirm the authenticity of the lot.
The auction is a trade process that you want, like fishing, no one knows whether the swing of the rod comes from seagrass hooking or really big fish before being hooked.
With the continuous fermentation of netizens' doubts, more and more people have discovered the doubts of cultural relics.
According to the literature,
Traditional Chinese do not sit stools, the original stool form originated from the Western Regions "Beard Bed", and later the height and width of the continuous evolution, there is a stool that we are familiar with.
In the Han Dynasty, people used to sit on the floor, with mats, tables, beds, and beds as the main living utensils. The Han Dynasty jade stool did not exist. This claim has been confirmed by experts and professors in different fields.
People went to the source of the cultural relics to verify, yuzu is a zhao surname boss from Pizhou, he did not admit this, the incident was stagnant.
The most expensive artifact is that whether it is true or false has become an unsolved case, and no one knows.
The truth surfaces
Until 2012, Boss Zhao admitted that this was indeed a fake.
For a time, the whole country was in an uproar.
Boss Zhao admitted that ten years ago, he got this precious jade and loved it, so he found more than a dozen workers, all of whom were experienced "carving experts" who imitated the Pattern of the Han Dynasty, bringing a new charm to this jade.
In order to create this treasure, Boss Zhao spent 500,000 yuan, which is a very large investment in China, which has just entered the millennium. But
Boss Zhao had already figured out how to earn the money back.
After the jade was manufactured and aged, he released a message to the market that he had a set of "Han Dynasty jade stool dressers" in his hand, and this news quickly spread in the market.
Soon, a boss surnamed Wang came to talk to him about buying art, but when he sold it, Boss Zhao did not hide that it was from his own hand, it was a real "fake".
Both the buyer and the seller knew it, and finally sold it for 2.6 million,
Compared with the cost of manufacturing, Boss Zhao earned four times more. The essence of the sale is the value of the jade itself, coupled with the old craftsmanship, enough to be at the level of fake truth.
Later, this work of art was identified by experts, and it was concluded that the value of this cultural relic was actually as high as 1 billion, and the seller was really a loss, at first glance, it was a pity for the seller, and it was a waste of so much money.
The boss surnamed Wang actually resold this "cultural relic" for a price of 220 million yuan.
But it is ultimately a forgery, although it can be compared to a real artifact in terms of craftsmanship,
But it has lost the greatest value of cultural relics - cultural atmosphere.
To protect a cultural relic is to protect history
The protection is not only the value of the cultural relics themselves, but also the cultural meaning they contain, which carries the humanistic, political and social conditions of an era.
Through the cultural relics handed down, we can know the real history, so as to enlighten and make progress for the current society and the future development.
And the "appearance" of the fake is precisely because of the loss of the most important Han Dynasty culture, divorced from the real history, and finally recognized, a good thing has become a joke,
The cultural relics market is mixed with fish and beads, and human society is still mixed with fish and dragons.
The vain "expert professor" publishes rumors under the guise of appraisal, so that Kochi's authority is lost little by little, polishing his eyes and acting cautiously, perhaps, this is the warning left to us by history.
