introduction
The sky has unpredictable storms, and people have bad luck. —— Lü Mengzheng,"Broken Kiln Fu"
In the long history of the mainland, there have been many treasures handed down, over the years, some have been found and collected by archaeologists in museums, some have been buried in the ground, and some have been picked up by ordinary people and left in all corners of the world. We all know that these cultural relics are of great value and play an important role in our country, and experts are also experiencing the recovery of these cultural relics, hoping to extract more favorable information from them to promote the development of society.
Many people hope that they can pick up such a valuable treasure, but this kind of good luck has never happened to themselves, and they can only watch those who have made windfalls from heaven. But is this kind of good fortune really as good as we think? Once, there was a farmer who fished out a Ming Dynasty gold seal from the river and sold it for 13 million yuan, thinking that he would live a good life, but he did not think that three years later, he was imprisoned, and today we will take a look.
Peasants fished out cultural relics from the river
This matter has to start from the Min River in Sichuan, which has played a very important role in Sichuan from ancient times to the present. As the largest tributary of the Yangtze River, it has benefited many people over the years, but everything has benefits and harms, even the Minjiang River, which benefits the people, is no exception. If there is a big storm, the Min River is bound to become very dangerous, and the serious ones will cause immeasurable harm to mankind. Especially for the local people, the threat is even greater, so the people of the land are very concerned about its water conservancy projects.
Once, when there was an engineering team carrying out water conservancy treatment projects here, now a lot of treasures were found here, and engineering personnel found a lot of silver ingots in it, which is already an antique level in the current society, which is worth a lot of money. After the news spread, it attracted widespread attention from all walks of life, and many people rushed to hear the news, but when people asked whether the engineering team had dug up cultural relics here, they were strongly denied by the old justice, which made people wonder, he saw that the people in the engineering team did not seem to be lying, and some people went back.
What the engineering team did not expect was that there was a farmer surnamed Song who did not believe in evil, because his ancestors had settled here, so he was very familiar with the area, and he firmly believed that the cultural relics dug up by the engineering team were real. Although he had never seen it with his own eyes, he often heard their ancestors say that they had dug up treasures here, so when the news of the engineering team digging up cultural relics came out, he took advantage of the fact that no one was there at night and came to Minjiang with tools.
For this farmer, even if he can't dig it, he has nothing to lose to himself, and he wants to see if he can dig out the treasure with his own eyes. I didn't think about it, he fished for half a day without catching any treasure, and he was a little discouraged. Fate is uncertain, and none of us know what will happen in the next second? Perhaps because of God's favor, he fished a few more times, and he really fished out a different thing. Although he didn't know what this thing was, but this thing was heavy, it looked very special, and naturally it could be worth a lot of money, so he took this thing home.
Fish out the Ming Dynasty gold seal
When he arrived at home, the farmer wiped the dirt off the thing he had picked up, and only then did he find that the treasure he had picked up today was covered in gold, and there was a majestic tiger on it, which was not an ordinary thing at first glance. He wanted to find a time to sell this thing, in order to prevent himself from being deceived, before selling, he also specifically found a professional to help identify, want to see how much this thing is worth?
After professional research and investigation, it was found that the treasure picked up by the farmers was extremely valuable, and according to the words on the treasure, it was roughly guessed that it was the gold seal owned by Zhang Xianzhong at the end of the Ming Dynasty. If it is put on the market to auction now, it can be said that it is worth more than 100 million yuan, which is a rare precious cultural relic and has very important research value. The professionals suggested that he turn it over to the state, but the farmer was bent on selling for money and did not take the expert's words to heart.
Ever since he knew that the treasure he had picked up was worth a lot, he thought that he could sell it for a good price, and then he found a cultural relics dealer and finally sold the treasure for a high price of 13 million. With this money, the life of a farmer has been greatly improved, and for such a good thing that the pie in the sky has become the luck that many people dream of.
Perhaps hearing this, everyone will wonder why such a good thing cannot befall themselves, and they all feel that this farmer is really favored by the god of luck. But what everyone did not expect was that the farmer was once again related to this golden seal three years later.
Three years later, he was imprisoned
The farmer thought he would be finished if he sold it, and he himself did not expect that he would be imprisoned for this gold seal in three years. The cause of the incident was a theft of cultural relics, including the gold seal sold by the farmer, which caused a great reaction at the time because of the widespread involvement in the theft. Under the strict investigation of the relevant departments, the peasant was found, and the peasant suspected of reselling cultural relics, after enjoying three years of peaceful days, will face a lifetime of imprisonment, and really have to lament the impermanence of fate.
Later, in order to prevent undesirable elements from hitting the idea of cultural relics here again, the relevant departments designated this river area as a cultural relics protection unit for experts to carry out archaeological excavations here, and until now, it is still focused on protection. So, there is no good thing in the sky that has dropped the pie, and we can't predict how fate will go. And what we can do is to take every step down-to-earth and cherish the present.
Protect cultural relics and don't be carried away by interests
Through the story of this farmer, we can also clearly understand that cultural relics are not our personal private property, but belong to the common property of the whole people and are also a symbol of history and culture. These lost cultural relics are all treasures of our country and have great significance and role in promoting the development of society. As sons and daughters of China, this is also the responsibility that each of us should fulfill.
It is mentioned in the "Augmented Sage Text" that a gentleman loves wealth and has a way to get it. We should be down-to-earth, use the right method to obtain money, and do not be carried away by the temptation of profit and take a crooked road. In the face of the temptation of fame and fortune, we must always adhere to our own hearts, strive to strive towards our own goals, and believe that heaven will not fail a serious and self-motivated person. I don't know what you think about this?
