introduction
"Qiangdi has many treasures, people have love and hatred", the legend of treasures, antiques and other objects has countless stories in the history of our Chinese nation for thousands of years. Even the treasures that have been handed down to this day are not few, and there is a way that "the earth is close to the light and the earth is light, and the earth is far away." How heavy one side is, how heavy is the treasure piece. ”
The history of the Chinese nation for more than 5,000 years has produced countless heroes and heroes, as well as countless treasures and cultural relics. Some cultural relics and treasures are even more valuable, but they are unique and unique in the world. The mainland has also slowly increased its emphasis on cultural relics and treasures, and countless people have begun treasure hunting journeys after realizing the value of cultural relics. However, the rise of cultural relics has also created a vigorous development of the counterfeiting industry, and in the cultural relics trade, counterfeits have begun to appear in an endless stream.
It is in such a general environment that the identification of cultural relics on the mainland has become very difficult, so in the 1970s there were many errors and flaws, and there were even misjudgments in the treatment of some national treasure-level cultural relics. Today's talk is about an incident in which cultural relics misjudged.
There is a village in Xi'an called Shenjiaqiao, and there is a teenager in the village named Yang Dongfeng. Although Yang Dongfeng is young, he is very practical and capable, diligent and earnest. And in that era, Yang Dongfeng still had the idea of joining the army to serve the country and becoming a glorious SOLDIER in the People's Liberation Army. At that time, Yang Dongfeng would often go with his parents to cultivate the land at home to make some contributions to the family.
On this day, Yang Dongfeng followed the adults to work in the fields as usual, sweating in the scorching sun. Because it was almost lunchtime, Yang Dongfeng thought of speeding up the progress a little and catching up with lunch. So the land was dug up much faster than before. But suddenly a hoe went down, and there was actually a sound of metal colliding, which made Yang Dongfeng very surprised. So I cut open the floating soil to see what I had dug up.
Leaning down to grab this nameless metal, Yang Dongfeng first knocked on the hoe, shaking away the excess soil. It was later discovered that it was a piece of metal in the shape of a cat. At that time, he didn't think much about it, only if it was something like scrap copper and rotten iron, he could also sell a little money, so he put it away. After returning home, Yang Dongfeng showed the object to his family, and when his sister saw it, she took it as a toy with her friends.
Two years later, when Yang Dongfeng's sister played with this piece of metal as a toy with others, she found that it actually showed golden characters on it, and everyone could not understand it. At this time, Yang Dongfeng also received a lot of education outside, and he had seen a little bit of the world, so after observing the characters on this metal, he felt that this was absolutely extraordinary, maybe it was a cultural relic.
In 1978, Yang Dongfeng brought this piece of metal into the city, and after arriving in the city, Yang Dongfeng couldn't wait to find an antique shop to identify this metal. However, the owner of the antique shop insisted that this was a fake, and it was definitely a fake. Unwillingly, Yang Dongfeng looked for three antique shops in succession, but he got the same answer, which is a fake and has no value. However, Yang Dongfeng vaguely felt that this piece of metal was not so simple, so he asked the antique shop to look again, and the antique shop owner was really impatient with Yang Dongfeng, so he told him that if he was really uneasy, he would go to the Forest of Steles Museum for identification, where there must be authority.
In this way, Yang Dongfeng found the museum with metal. Inside the museum, Yang Dongfeng met a truly authoritative expert, Dai Yingxin. Dai Yingxin is not a simple person, he is an old expert in archaeology for decades, and he is definitely an authoritative expert in archaeology. Moreover, Dai Yingxin is also the editor-in-chief of The Collection magazine.
After careful appraisal, Dai Yingxin told Yang Dongfeng that this was a remarkable treasure, but it was the Du Hu Charm of the Qin State during the Warring States Period, which was very large and could even be counted as a national treasure. The tiger charm was very popular in the Warring States period, which was a proof of the mobilization of troops at that time, and was divided into two halves in peacetime, generally in the hands of generals and the other half in the hands of emperors. Only in wartime did the emperor give his half to the general, and the general had the right to mobilize the army.
After the appraisal, Dai Yingxin became extremely interested in Yang Dongfeng's tiger charm. So he immediately said that he wanted to pay for the tiger charm in Yang Dongfeng's hand and asked Yang Dongfeng about the price. Although Yang Dongfeng knew that this tiger rune was extremely valuable, he did not open his mouth because of it.
Instead, he said that he had the dream of joining the army and serving the country since he was a child, but he had never realized it, so he especially wanted a military uniform now. But at this time, where did the museum get the military uniform, so Dai Yingxin proposed to give Yang Dongfeng 50 yuan to buy the military uniform by himself, Yang Dongfeng thought about it and agreed, so this tiger charm was left in the Forest of Steles Museum.
epilogue
Du Hu Fu showed its exquisite original appearance after being carefully cleaned up by Dai Yingxin. It has also remained in the Forest of Steles Museum and has become a treasure of the town hall. Many later experts have studied and valued it, and in the valuation, many experts have said that the tiger charm is worth more than 100 million.
