Cultural relics worth 200 million yuan were used by a couple to spread pancakes, what happened to the cultural relics now?
In the long history of mankind, countless rare treasures have emerged, some of which have been treasured by the state in museums for people to appreciate, while others have been scattered to the people due to various accidents and become ordinary daily necessities. Today, we are going to tell a story worth up to 200 million cultural relics, which were once used by a couple as a pancake pot, this cultural relic is called Xijia Pan, which is said to be a kind of bronze ware during the reign of King Xuan of Zhou. This ancient and precious historical relic, which has been in the public for thousands of years, has endured ups and downs, and finally fell into the hands of a husband and wife, becoming a sharp weapon for their pancakes.
The Xijia plate is not an ordinary thing, and the inscriptions contained in it record important historical information, making its historical value immeasurable. However, the couple didn't realize this, and they used the nail plate as an ordinary pancake pan to use in their lives day in and day out. Soon, the priceless artifact suffered some damage, but the couple was reluctant to give it up, so they took it to the market and sold it.
Luckily, an experienced antique dealer spotted this seemingly ordinary pancake pan, and he had the foresight to buy it at a great price. With the passage of time, the Xijia plate was circulated among the people, and the fate was uncertain. Those who know how to cherish it keep it in good place, and those who don't know it discard it at will. For a period of time, there were even rumors that Xijiapan appeared in Japan, which attracted great attention from domestic scholars. However, when the experts visited the scene, they found that the so-called Xijia plate was only similar to the shape and not the real thing.
It wasn't until 2010 that a Chinese in the United States found the real Xijia plate at auction. In order to regain this cultural relic, he did not hesitate to spend 200 million yuan and overcome many difficulties to bring it back to his motherland. However, in the long history, the Xijia plate has experienced too many tribulations, especially in the process of folk circulation, the surface is seriously worn and the damage is great.
Despite the devastation, the state cherishes it unabated. In order to protect this precious history, the Xijia plate was solemnly collected and became a pearl in the museum. Even after a lot of hardships, the historical value of this cultural relic can not be ignored, it has witnessed the development of human civilization and carried the vicissitudes of thousands of years.
The story of Xijiapan makes us reflect on our understanding of historical relics and respect for traditional culture. In daily life, there may be many seemingly ordinary objects, but there are rich historical connotations behind them. It also reminds us that we should strengthen the protection and inheritance of cultural relics so that these historical treasures can be continued.
