introduction
In the ancient society of the mainland, under the influence of feudal ideas, people at that time used thick burial as a funeral custom. Through the archaeological activities of modern society, it can be seen that ancient people often used many precious funerary items when they were buried to show their identity. For ordinary people in society at that time, even if there was no money to meet the needs of thick burials, they would choose a feng shui treasure for the family's mausoleum. It can be seen that the ancients attached great importance to funerary culture.
However, the emergence of thick burial culture has also spawned the prosperity of the tomb robbery industry, and in ancient society, many people relied on stealing funerary items from tombs to survive. When these stolen items were passed on to the market, they became historical relics over time. In a treasure hunting program, the "jade cicada" worn by a woman surprised the experts.

In the "Biography of Qu Yuan", it is recorded: "Cicadas, degenerating from turbidity, do not gain the dirt of the world beyond the floating dust." ”
For this reason, cicadas have also become the favorite objects of many ancients. So we will find that many historical relics have traces of cicadas, and the jade cicada worn by this woman comes from the antique market. According to her own description, because the family used to do business, it was inevitable to buy some small antiques to play.
At that time, when she visited the antique market, she caught a glimpse of this jade cicada, and when she first saw the jade cicada, she was attracted by its beautiful appearance, so she did not hesitate to buy this jade cicada at that time.
So far, she has been wearing this jade cicada for more than ten years.
Due to the current economic environment, the economic conditions at home are not as good as before, so she wants to identify this jade cicada to see how much it is worth.
After listening to the woman's description at the beginning, the experts felt very much looking forward to it, after all, the jade cicada is very troublesome to make, if this jade cicada is really as beautiful as the woman's description, then its value should be relatively high. However, after the experts saw the jade cicada, their faces were a little bad, and they said to the woman: "You are really bold." Hearing this, the woman was a little confused, after all, it was just a jade cicada, and what did it have to do with boldness?

Originally
After the experts conducted an appraisal, it was found that this jade cicada should be a funerary product contained in the mouth of the ancient nobles
。 because
Cicadas represented being away from dirt, so many nobles at that time would hold the jade cicada in their mouths when they were buried in order to preserve their bodies for a long time.
For the funerary products at that time, the jade cicada should be a more valuable one, so in the archaeological research, the value of the jade cicada is often relatively high.
After hearing this, the woman's face was obviously a little bad, after all, this was an item that she had worn closely for more than ten years, and there was such a history behind it. But experts also say that women don't have to worry too much.
Although the jade cicada comes from the mouth of the remains of the ancients, it is not an ominous thing, in fact, many ancients will use the jade cicada as a symbol of immortality
。
After the experts made an assessment, they said that the value of the woman's jade cicada should be around 600,000
If you put it on the market and sell it, you should be able to sell it for a good price. For this result, the woman said that although she said that she had some doubts about the origin of this jade cicada, after all, we received modern education and did not believe in the ghost god in feudal society. It's a big deal that in the days to come, you don't have to wear it close to your body. If you can transfer this jade cicada to people who really like this kind of cultural relics, then it is also a matter of their own.
epilogue
From this woman's experience, it can be seen that the tomb robbers in ancient society were very rampant, and they did not hesitate to destroy the remains of the deceased in order to obtain more benefits, and this immoral behavior will eventually suffer the retribution of history. With the continuous development of mainland archaeological technology, many experts have also discovered more cultural relics treasures in the archaeological process, and with the help of these cultural relics, the mainland's understanding of past history will also be further developed.
