"Those who pick up greenery return to Chu Yuqing, and the sun shines brightly on the high peaks."
Picking up gold without being ignorant has always been an excellent virtue passed down from generation to generation in our country. It is a profound teaching that every generation of Chinese people have received since childhood.
It is this kind of consciousness and moral character that makes today's society move towards peace and tranquility. Sometimes a little warmth and consideration from strangers can make people happy all day long.
Of course, it’s not just some small items in life, many incredible things have happened in China’s long history.
This has resulted in some traces of history remaining around in our lives, such as the cultural relics handed over to the country by the old man from Northeast China. It is said that they will make a sound when the wind blows.
Another example is this young man from Inner Mongolia who picked up a gold medal from the ancient Liao Kingdom . However, this gold medal was not as lucky as that object and did not return to the National Museum. Instead it became a pair of beautiful gold bracelets. .
The Call of the Ancient Liao Kingdom’s Tokens
The story takes place on a bright afternoon, when the weather has just cooled down and there is no harsh sun at noon. A young man from Inner Mongolia was sitting by the river and fishing leisurely.
The sunlight hits the sparkling lake obliquely, causing small waves to appear on the lake. This beam of light driven by goes ashore again and again, and returns again and again.
Suddenly the light illuminated a golden object and shook the young man fishing. The young man followed the light and looked for it. He lowered his head and picked it up. He found that it was an object wrapped in mud but shining yellow. .
held it in his hand and shook it a few times. It was quite heavy. , the young man was secretly happy, thinking that he must have found a treasure.
The young man put him under the water and rinsed him. A gold medal suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
But looking at the words I didn’t recognize on the gold medal, also had exquisite carvings. The young man feels that this thing is not simple .
Based on his intuition, he sent this item to the relevant experts. The experts were overjoyed after the appraisal. This item came from the distant ancient Liao Kingdom.
Its historical research is of great significance. The most special thing is the characters on the gold medal. is a Khitan character with a long history.
Perhaps this gold medal is destined to this young man. was buried on that mudflat for tens of millions of years, and now he picked it up. experts all persuaded him to hand over this gold medal to the country to study the history of that time.
But the young man was extremely reluctant. He believed that this thing was destined to him, and it was a real gold medal. There would be some bonuses when it was turned in, so how could it be higher than the actual value of this gold medal.
Since these ancient cultural relics were picked up in our country, it is up to the picker whether to hand them over, and they will not be forced to hand them over. Faced with the young man's reluctance, experts have no other way except to persuade them.
could only watch helplessly as the young man took this thing away again.
Khitan Ancient Liao Kingdom
Speaking of the ancient Liao Kingdom, its history is quite long. This country is also called Liao Dynasty . It was established by the nomadic people at that time, Khitan .
The entire dynasty has a history of more than two hundred years, and has inherited a total of nine emperors. It can be said to be a very prosperous and powerful dynasty. Among the strengths of all dynasties at that time, it was one of the best in both military and political terms.
And the name Khitan was created by Taizu of Liao Yelu Abaoji, and this nation was also very benevolent in the beginning.
In the process of establishing the foundation, once had an incident of sheltering distressed people in Hebei.. At that time, these refugees were unable to survive due to a man-made disaster and fled all the way to the Khitan territory.
For these foreigners, the local residents did not reject them excessively, but treated them well, and these refugees who were in trouble stayed and became members of the Khitan people.
In this way, this nation grew stronger day by day. Following the footsteps of history, they gradually developed their own system and established their dynasty, the Liao Dynasty.
The gold medal picked up by the young man in Inner Mongolia, , was the item used at that time. Unfortunately, experts did not have much time to carefully study the function of this gold medal. What does the text on the gold medal mean? The young man took it away in a hurry.
The relics of the Khitan people are more precious than those of the Northern Song Dynasty at the same time, because this nation is a nomadic people. plus 1125, was replaced by and .
So it is only a relic of the dynasty , very rare . In order to keep this gold medal, we can have a deeper understanding of what happened in the ancient Liao Kingdom at that time.
Experts have also searched for the young man from Inner Mongolia who picked up the gold medal many times, but the young man refused to hand it over and made a decision that made the experts very angry.
The Khitan gold medal turned into a pair of bracelets
When our experts went to find the young man again and discussed whether they could hand over the gold medal, the young man became a little impatient.
He told our experts that he had melted the gold medal, made it into a pair of exquisite bracelets, and sold them to a gold shop.
Experts were helpless and angry when they heard this. You must know that the cultural resources existing on that gold medal are simply incomparable to this pair of gold bracelets.
Good cultural relics were ruined in this way, and what this young man from Inner Mongolia received was only tens of thousands of yuan in reward. And that gold medal is far more than these tens of thousands.
The matter has come to this, and experts cannot blame this young man too much. After all, as he said, he picked up the things and he has certain rights to deal with them.
But in the face of such a priceless treasure of being destroyed, it is really a pity . The key to the door to the once mysterious and distant ancient Liao Kingdom is missing again.
Conclusion
The young man was able to dissolve the gold medal into two bracelets and sell them to a gold shop. In the final analysis, he still lacks a sense of protecting historical relics.
He did not understand how valuable this gold medal was to the study of ancient Chinese history, so he made the decision to destroy this cultural relic.
Perhaps he received a small profit, but for the entire historical research level, it was a huge loss.
If we are lucky enough to encounter these distant time tokens, we must send them to their rightful destination and let them reopen the yellowing scroll that belongs to them in this mechanized era.
makes the miracles of the past appear again in our eyes today. Also take a look at how China’s ancestors fought on the battlefield.
To enhance the awareness of the protection of cultural relics and the morality of keeping time, should start from a young age and start from everyone.
