In the "Yao Yu", it is written: "The husband is afraid of a poor xiucai, and he collects gold and returns it, and he can still be encouraged for the time being." "Collecting gold is not ignorant, through the ages, it is praised by people." Just as a gentleman sits in peace, the virtues of Huayi must be passed down. Lessons from the past, lessons from the future. We must not covet temporary interests, because small things lose big.
With the prevalence of electronic payments, everyone rarely carries cash when they go out, so no one picks up a penny on the side of the road and gives it to the police uncle. Indeed, electronic payments are very convenient, we only need to carry our mobile phones, and we no longer have to go to the trouble of finding change as before. However, this children's song that everyone has sung, the spirit of collecting gold is still passed on.
The ancients have long regarded gold-collecting as a traditional virtue of our Chinese nation, and things that do not belong to them naturally cannot be wanted. Now you can occasionally see similar things in the news, but the behavior of some owners is really chilling, not only making people who pick up things chill, but also making many netizens feel cold.
In the last century, a farmer in China accidentally picked up more than sixty kilograms of gold, but did not choose to embezzle it, but took the initiative to hand it over. I have to say that as a peasant, the income will naturally not be high, and after selling so much gold, it is enough to ensure that he has no worries about food and clothing, but he still does not move his greed and does not take things that do not belong to him.
Fast forward to the 1980s, in a village in Shanxi, villagers were working in their own farmland. While most people went to the shade to rest and cool off, there was a young man named Black Cloud who was still working, probably because he was young, and he didn't feel tired. But at this time, Black Cloud accidentally found a tattered wooden box, which seemed to have been buried in the ground for a long time and had not been found.
The people who were chilling on the side saw the strange appearance of the black cloud and jokingly asked him if he had dug up any treasure. But what everyone did not expect was that the black cloud really dug up the treasure, because after opening the wooden box, he found that it was full of metal blocks, each shining golden under the sun's illumination. Then Black Cloud did not dare to stay in the field for long, and hurriedly returned home with the box.
However, the news that Black Cloud had picked up the gold was still spread out, and some people even came directly to the door to ask for it. At that time, he did not know what to do, and the metal blocks only looked like gold, and whether they were real gold needed further testing. In order to find out the origin of those things, Black Cloud first went to the village credit union to see if they could recognize them.
When the village credit union personnel saw these metal blocks, they could not determine whether they were gold or not, but they looked like cultural relics, so they contacted the local cultural relics bureau, thinking that the staff of the cultural relics bureau would definitely be able to identify them. Sure enough, after expert identification, they found that the gold in the box was extremely high in color, almost 68 kilograms of gold.
However, this is not the most important, because experts have found four large characters on the gold nugget "Zhang Tongru Que". Perhaps everyone is still relatively unfamiliar with this name, and it is not clear what age he is. And this Zhang Tongru was actually a general under An Lushan. At the beginning, An Lushan launched a mutiny, burning and looting along the way, and obtained a lot of gold and silver treasures. It is estimated that these golds were also printed by Zhang Tongru after they were robbed at that time, which means that they have become his own private property.
In general, gold weighing more than sixty kilograms is valuable, but the historical and cultural value they contain is the most important. Experts can use these artifacts to gain more useful historical knowledge and fill our understanding of that period.
Although Hei Yun was only a farmer, he also knew these big truths and took the initiative to hand over all the gold he had dug up. The cultural relics situation is also quite pleased with the well-meaning black cloud, and in order to encourage this behavior of the black cloud, a tractor is specially rewarded. Presumably, this thing is far more useful to the black cloud than the gold. And in those days, not to mention the tractor, it was good to have a cow at home to help cultivate the land, and having a tractor would definitely help Black Cloud reduce the burden.
Some friends may feel that the black cloud is not picking up the property of other people's families, it is left by the ancients, it has long become a masterless thing, and there is no need to collect gold. But in fact, this is not the case, China has a clear legal provision in this regard, the cultural relics found in the wild need to be handed over, from the perspective of cultural relics, the box of gold needs to be handed over.
There was a young man from Inner Mongolia who also picked up a gold product, but when he heard that he needed to hand it in, he secretly ran to the gold shop to melt it. Doing so not only greatly reduces the value of cultural relics, but also wastes an extremely precious cultural relic, perhaps containing very important historical and cultural values. Therefore, at any time, we should still uphold the spirit of collecting gold.
