introduction
There are many cultural relics in China, and these rare treasures should be well collected. But what everyone may not expect is that there is also a very "humiliating" cultural relic in China, which has a relatively long history and is made of 3.5 tons of jade. But when it was discovered, it was used as a pickle jar for more than 300 years, which really made people cry and laugh. The "life" of this jade is like the "sword blade from the grinding, and the plum blossom fragrance comes from the bitter cold" in the "Cautionary Sage".
When many people see this cultural relic, they are all sighing, this cultural relic is really too fateful. It is obviously made of jade, but it is used by monks to serve pickles. The name of this cultural relic is dushan da yuhai, and it has a particularly domineering feeling when it sounds like a name, but it is actually a kind of vessel that is usually used to hold wine. During the Yuan Dynasty, it represented the highest level of jade works, and later in the Zhenguo jade, it was also rated as the first place.
When the Yuan Dynasty fell, the people in the palace were running around, and as long as it was something that could be taken away, all of them were robbed. Many of the cultural relics were smashed in the process of robbery, but this behemoth was not so lucky, because it had a weight of 3.5 tons, and it could not be taken away, nor could it be carried away, so it was abandoned in the palace. Because the weight is relatively large, it is very difficult to carry, so no one wants it.
Later, after being favored by the monks in the temple, he summoned the monks of the whole temple and worked together to move this cultural relic to the temple. Everyone knows that monks do not eat meat, so they need a behemoth to preserve vegetables, and the Great Jade Sea of Dushan mountain is used by these monks to pickle pickles for 300 years. Later, because the monks were told by chance that the jar containing pickles was made of jade, the monks suddenly realized.
What kind of object is Dushan Jade? This jade is one of the four famous jades in China, and the number of beautiful names is endless. Among them, the color is more complex, in addition to the two colors of black and white, there are many colors such as red, yellow, blue and green. Dushan Dayuhai is a mixture of black and gray jade, which is why it seems so inconspicuous, and it has been suppressed for more than 300 years.
The size of this cultural relic is relatively large, and there is no problem for two adult men to bathe in it, so there are more pickles and are more popular with the monks in the temple. Nowadays, it has become a first-class national treasure of the country, and the jade used in the construction at that time was all of the best quality. In the earliest days, it was indeed used to hold wine, so that they could enjoy the jade and drink together, but because of the destruction of the dynasty, it eventually declined.
It is such a priceless treasure, because of the change of dynasties, the situation has become turbulent, and it has not been well protected. At that time, the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed, and this cultural relic also flew away, and it is not known what kind of way it fell into the temple. And they saw that this artifact was very exquisite, just because the temple lacked a jar for pickles, so they used the treasure as a pickle jar to pickle.
This cultural relic was used as a pickle jar for more than 300 years, and it was not until the late Qing Dynasty that someone finally recognized the true identity of this pickle jar. It was not until the Qianlong Emperor during the Qing Dynasty heard about this matter and immediately placed this treasure in the imperial palace, and this priceless national treasure was freed from the bitter sea of pickles.
The Qianlong Emperor took this cultural relic back, and also built a small pavilion for it, and even carved his own poems on this cultural relic. The Qianlong Emperor had sent down four orders to restore the Great Jade Sea, but he only cleaned it and made small repairs to the outer corners and corners. That is to say, until now, the Great Jade Sea still maintains the appearance of the Yuan Dynasty and has not undergone much change.
Later, people chose to preserve the Great Jade Sea well, and now this cultural relic is in Beihai Park. A small pavilion was also built for treasure and is now open to the public. After a thousand years, it is really not easy for such a treasure to be preserved intact. It was used as a pickle jar by the monks, so that it could be preserved intact and not damaged by the war, which was also a fortunate thing.
summary
Imagine if you had been through a war or any other situation, you might not be able to stand in front of everyone intact. So it's time to thank the monks in this temple. After all, it is their protection that we can see the treasures of a thousand years ago. Maybe everyone's cultural relics sensitivity is too low, and there is no special sensitivity when they see these treasures again. Although the fate of this cultural relic is relatively bumpy, it has now been well preserved, and such an ending is also gratifying.
