"Smelling Cicadas": The old country travels thousands of miles, and the new cicadas suddenly count.
In the traditional culture of Chinese society, it is very important to have content about tombs, and under the influence of this idea, some of the funerary products in tombs have become the foundation of today's historical research. Generally speaking, the cultural relics in ancient tombs are very precious and rare, and when some ancient tombs are excavated, these cultural relics will also become the object of national key protection.
However, tempted by profit, some tomb robbers will sneak into the ancient tomb and steal some precious cultural relics. In the mainland antique market, many cultural relics stolen by tomb thieves can usually be sold for a good price.
Once, there was such a woman who bought a jade cicada in the antique market, and in later days, she also wore this jade cicada on her body for ten years. In the treasure hunting program, this woman was evaluated by experts: the courage is really big. So, what is the origin of this jade cicada? What is the story behind it?
After the founding of New China, people's living standards have been improved to a certain extent.
Nowadays, in addition to the basic food and clothing problems, many people have begun to attach great importance to spiritual life, and in this case, many treasure hunting programs have come into being
With the help of some experts, we have also seen many precious historical relics.
Once, in a treasure hunting program, a woman wearing a jade cicada attracted the attention of many experts.
According to the woman, the jade cicada she was wearing was bought ten years ago, when she accidentally saw the jade cicada in the antique market, and at that time, she also felt that the jade cicada was very consistent with her temperament, so she bought the jade cicada and wore it on her body ever since.
Nowadays, there are some problems in her family's business, and she also hopes to let experts see how much this jade cicada can sell, and if it can alleviate the family's predicament, then she will also sell the jade cicada again.
At first, the experts were very excited, after all, according to the woman's description, this jade cicada is very exquisite, however,
When the relevant experts carefully identified the jade cicada, they told the woman that you were really bold.
Originally
This exquisite jade cicada should be the funerary product that some dignitaries and nobles in ancient society held in their mouths
。 After all, in the culture of ancient society, the meaning of the cicada is very noble, and many nobles in ancient societies believe that if they can contain the jade cicada in their mouths, they can also ensure that their remains will never decay.
Looking at the specifications of funerary products throughout ancient China, it will be found that although the jade cicada looks inconspicuous, its value in ancient society is very high. And because of this,
Experts also determined that this small jade cicada can sell for about 600,000 yuan
。
Although this jade cicada can bring rich financial returns to the woman, the woman also feels very embarrassed, after all, this is an object that she has worn on her body for ten years. In traditional Chinese culture, people generally have certain taboos about the dead, and this woman's move is obviously an offense to the deceased. It can be seen that in the process of our understanding of literary play, we should also be familiar with the various tomb cultures in ancient times, otherwise it is very likely that we will buy some objects that offend the deceased from the hands of tomb robbers.
At the scene of the program, the woman also told experts that although she also felt very concerned about the origin of this jade cicada, she also hoped to be able to transfer this precious jade cicada to the hands of lovers who really love cultural relics
After all, with the development of the times, nowadays, the ideological level of contemporary Chinese has also been improved to a certain extent, and the legends of those feudal societies will not have an excessive impact on our lives. It can be seen that when modern people collect antiques, they only look at their own historical value, rather than the various mythological colors that people give it.
From the origin of the jade cicada, it can be felt that in various ages, tomb robbers are very rampant, although such tomb robbery is against the law, but in order to obtain greater benefits, they are also willing to take risks.
epilogue
After understanding the story of this jade cicada, it can be found that it is precisely because the value of funerary products in ancient society is relatively high, so some tomb robbers will be very rampant, not even destroying the remains of the tomb owner, but also stealing precious cultural relics.
For the ancient tombs that these stolen tomb thieves "patronized", their interior will encounter different degrees of damage, and the emergence of tomb robbers is also a huge obstacle for the study of mainland history.
With the development of the times, nowadays, people's awareness of the protection of cultural relics is also increasing, I believe that in the future days, these tomb robbers will eventually become the object of common resistance.
