Preface:
On a clear summer day in 2006, an aunt in North Korea picked up a jade worth 500,000 yuan on the beach. This incident quickly caused a sensation and became a hot topic in society at that time.
Jade has always been an important symbol of Chinese culture, and has a profound cultural heritage from ancient times to the present.
In China, the collection and appraisal of jade is also a very mature industry, and the value of different types and characteristics of jade in the market is also very different.
Although North Korea shares a geographical location adjacent to China, its cultural heritage is not identical, so the value and perception of jade in North Korea are also different.
North Koreans' understanding of jade is mainly derived from divination, which believes that jade can bless people with peace, ward off evil spirits, pray for blessings and so on.
After picking up the jade on the beach, the North Korean aunt held it to a local auction house for valuation, but the auction house gave a high price of 500,000 yuan.
The huge price also surprised the aunt, and quickly spread the news to North Korean social networks.
However, the value and authenticity of this jade has caused widespread controversy.
Because in China's identification standards, whether a jade has collection and investment value, in addition to its color, texture, texture, but also to consider its history, cultural background, production process and other elements. These elements differ in North Korea's identification criteria.
To verify its authenticity, the jade was eventually sent to China for identification.
After careful appraisal by experts, this jade was identified as a marble texture called "Ling Yang Jade", and the value was extremely low, not worth 500,000 yuan at all. The texture and color of its appearance are artificially created.
This incident taught us that treasure is a very professional and complex industry that requires a wealth of knowledge and experience.
Only with a comprehensive and in-depth understanding and mastery of jade, porcelain, calligraphy and painting and other cultural relics can we accurately judge their value and authenticity. At the same time, it also reminds us to remain vigilant and avoid buying counterfeit and shoddy cultural relics under unknown circumstances.
At the same time, we must also strengthen the awareness of cultural relics protection and protect our cultural heritage. As we all know, cultural relics are an important carrier of a country's history and culture, and have extremely high historical, cultural and artistic value.
However, due to historical reasons, natural factors and man-made damage, many precious cultural relics on the mainland are facing different degrees of loss. Therefore, it is the responsibility and obligation of each of us to strengthen the awareness of cultural relics protection and effectively implement cultural relics protection measures.
Summary:
Today, with increasingly frequent cultural exchanges and the integration of international markets, the essence of Chinese culture is gradually recognized and accepted by the world.
In this process, the importance of identifying and protecting cultural relics has become more and more prominent. We should work together to inherit and carry forward the essence of Chinese culture.
