preface
The term cultural relics refers to some objects or traces left behind in the process of historical development. The "Monument of Waiting for The Ci Temple" has a record: "That is, the people who poured out their disciples received the relics of the Sui Dynasty." ”
It is also recorded in the Ba Cheng Zhai: "Woohoo! Gengshen changed, and Rui's cultural relics simmered nineteen. "The term "cultural relics" refers to some historical objects, which is what many people now call antiques.
Now, some antiques have been collected by the state for research and exhibition. However, most of the collection is still circulated in the folk. Some people really like antiques and collect antiques as works of art. But some people regard antiques as a business and want to get rich by reselling antiques. There are also some people who do not know how to identify the authenticity of antiques, and will take their collections to some treasure hunting programs to identify.
Treasure Hunt Program
There used to be a treasure hunting program, and there were a lot of experts on this program, so many people would come to find treasure. And this treasure hunting show does not need to spend money on yourself. After Xiao Li saw this show, he also wanted to take a jar of pickled eggs from his own home to the program to identify it to see if the jar was worth it.
However, the son secretly took his mother's "pickled egg" can to participate in the treasure hunt, but the expert said: dare not estimate, afraid of being caught! So why is that?
Holding a jar of pickled eggs to treasure may sound absurd, but Xiao Li is not unprepared. Some time ago, Xiao Li invited friends to eat at home. When his friend saw the jar of pickled eggs, his eyes lit up and he said he could buy it for a high price. Xiao Li knows that his friend has some research on antiques, and the things that can make him look good must be good things, and maybe they are worth a lot!
It is precisely because of this incident that Xiao Li came up with the idea of wanting to come to the treasure show. If this jar is really an antique, you may be able to make a fortune. Xiao Li said on the show that he came to see the treasure, or secretly came with a jar, and did not tell his mother. This jar was used by his mother to pickle eggs on weekdays, and if his mother knew that he was carrying a broken jar to the show and fooling around, she would definitely scold him. In order not to let his mother find out, Xiao Li also took a different jar in advance and put it in its place.
The expert took a look at the jar and laughed that it was really a smell of pickled eggs. While observing the body of the jar, the expert's expression slowly became serious. By studying the pattern and pattern of the jar, experts have tentatively concluded that it is indeed an antiquity. When asked about Xiao Li's ancestors, Xiao Li swallowed and said that his family had been farmers for generations.
Experts found that the salt stains on the jar did look like they had been around for some years, at least for hundreds of years. Experts told Xiao Li that this is indeed an antiquity, but also some historical antiquities, preliminary calculations, should be from the Tang Dynasty period. After Hearing these words, Xiao Li was very happy. His mother had also told him that the jar had been passed down from ancestor to generation. Now the experts have also made a decision, affirming the historical value of this jar, maybe they can make a lot of money after selling it!
But the next words of the expert poured a basin of cold water on Xiao Li. Experts told Xiao Li that this jar is an old kiln object, and from a legal point of view, it is not allowed to be auctioned, and it is also illegal to sell and trade privately. Experts suggest that Xiao Li, even if it is to ensure his own safety, it is best to donate this jar, which can also be regarded as a contribution to the archaeological industry of our country.
After Xiao Li listened to the expert's words, his expression became extremely lonely. It seems that his dream of making a fortune is shattered. Before leaving, Xiao Li only said one sentence, such a jar, as a collectible, should also have collectible value. After watching this episode, netizens also felt quite funny. Such a Tang Dynasty antique, actually used as a jar of pickled eggs for so many years, is really a bit of a tyrannical thing. After watching this episode, many netizens have rummaged through the bottles and cans in their homes to see if they can find a cultural relic from inside.
However, it is also fortunate that Xiao Li has paid attention to this jar, otherwise, such a cultural relic with research value may be buried in his home. Judging from the change in Xiao Li's expression, he very much wanted to sell this jar for some price. After the jar was taken down, I don't know what would be handled. Of course, what we want to see most is that Xiao Li can donate him to the country and let this cultural relic play its maximum value.
epilogue
Then again, if we really find a cultural relic, we still have to distinguish whether the cultural relic is of higher collection value or higher research value. Some collectibles are not allowed to be sold, but don't inadvertently touch the bottom line of the law!
