Recently, it was reported on the Internet that a 73-year-old man in Rong County, Sichuan Province, was taken away by the local police for investigation when he was trading antiques in an antique city, and then his home was raided and detained. The incident has been disseminated in several versions and has caused widespread concern and panic in the antique collecting community.
Subsequently, reports from the relevant media confirmed the matter. According to reports, the police of the Rong County Public Security Bureau in Sichuan Province found that Qi Moumou (male, 73 years old) had been buying and selling and replacing various antique cultural relics in the antique markets in Chengdu, Leshan and other places in Sichuan for a long time. After the appraisal of the Sichuan Station of the National Cultural Relics Exit Appraisal, among the more than 40 items seized by the police in Qi Moumou's home, 3 were identified as third-class cultural relics in the Eastern Han Dynasty. At present, Qi Moumou has been taken criminal coercive measures by the Rong County Public Security Bureau, and the case is still under further investigation.
When this news came out, in fact, many people did not understand, and everyone could not figure out why it became a crime to buy and sell things in the antique city if they liked antique collections? So, how should this old man's behavior be evaluated? Is it a cultural inheritance or an illegal transaction? This article will conduct an in-depth analysis from multiple angles.
1. The legal boundaries of cultural relics trade
Before talking about the septuagenarian's actions, let's first clarify the legal boundaries of the trade in antiquities. According to the relevant laws and regulations, it is illegal to buy and sell cultural relics without permission, which may not only face legal sanctions, but also cause damage to the cultural relics market. Therefore, when trading cultural relics, anyone must abide by laws and regulations to ensure the legality and standardization of the transaction.
2. Cultural inheritance and cultural relics protection
As an important part of cultural heritage, cultural relics are of great significance for their inheritance and protection. However, in reality, some lawbreakers obtain cultural relics and trade them through illegal means in order to seek personal gains, which not only destroys the order of the cultural relics market, but also greatly damages the cultural heritage. Therefore, we should strengthen publicity and education on the protection of cultural relics, and raise the public's awareness and participation in the protection of cultural relics.
3. Behind the buying and selling of cultural relics by septuagenarians
We need to understand the motivation and context behind the septuagenarian's buying and selling of cultural relics. On the one hand, the elderly may be motivated by their love for cultural relics and their interest in collecting, hoping to achieve cultural inheritance and value embodiment through buying and selling cultural relics.
On the other hand, there may also be reasons such as lack of legal awareness or being induced by others, which leads to anomie. In any case, we should pay enough attention and guidance to help the elderly correctly understand and treat the legal risks of cultural relics trading.
Fourth, how to regulate the cultural relics market
In order to regulate the cultural relics market and ensure the legality and standardization of cultural relics trading, we need to take a series of measures. First of all, it is necessary to strengthen the construction of laws and regulations, improve the relevant laws and regulations on the trade of cultural relics, and provide a legal guarantee for the healthy development of the cultural relics market.
Second, it is necessary to intensify supervision and control over the cultural relics market, severely crack down on illegal transactions, and maintain market order.
At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen the research and application of techniques for the identification and evaluation of cultural relics, and enhance the transparency and credibility of cultural relics trading.
Finally, it is necessary to strengthen the public's propaganda and education on the protection of cultural relics, and enhance the awareness and participation of the whole society in the protection of cultural relics.
V. Conclusion
In short, as witnesses of history and inheritors of culture, the protection and inheritance of cultural relics are of great significance. While paying attention to cultural inheritance, it is also necessary to strictly abide by laws and regulations to ensure the legality and standardization of cultural relics trading. At the same time, we should also strengthen the supervision and regulation of the cultural relics market and promote the healthy development of the cultural relics market. Only in this way can we truly achieve a win-win situation for the protection of cultural relics and the inheritance of culture.
