The Chinese nation has a history of thousands of years of development, and many precious historical relics have been born during this continuous development. But many cultural relics are not because of national wars, dynasties, or natural disasters. It is man-made loss, which dissipates in people’s field of vision, and falls in all corners of the Chinese land. Some precious cultural relics were accidentally discovered after being buried for thousands of years in the ground. has reappeared in the world. Opportunities, and in rural areas of our country are the easiest places to find cultural relics, farmers have also become the main force in discovering antiques and cultural relics.
Cultural relics caught by fishing
Because China’s rural areas have not undergone large-scale reconstruction, ancient tombs or some precious antiquities may be buried under the ground in many rural areas , The news of cultural relics discovered by farmers is already very common in our country , today I’m going to tell a story about precious cultural relics caused by fishing. In 2003, a farmer in a village near the Anyang River was fishing, perhaps because the season was wrong, or the location was wrong. After fishing for a long time, there was no movement, which inevitably made him a little irritable.
After a while, farmers who are really impatient are ready to collect the thread and go home. But a long time came on his head at this time. When the line was being taken up, the farmer clearly felt that he had caught a heavy object. At that time, he was still thinking in his heart that he finally caught a big fish after so long, a happy farmer. He pulled the fishing line forcefully and carefully, and finally pulled the "big fish" up after a waste of all the power.
But after a closer look, the farmer found something was wrong. The fish caught was not a big fish at all, but a big turtle, but it is not all right to say that it is a tortoise, because this is not a living The turtle is just a copper product made into the shape of a tortoise, and there are four arrows of the same material on the back of the tortoise, leaving only the tail of the arrow on the outside, and the whole part is inserted into the back of the tortoise, 这只The peculiar shape of the tortoise leaves farmers at a loss.
subconsciously thought that this might be a cultural relic antique, and took it back home for safekeeping. As the villagers knew that the farmer in the village had caught a treasure, they all I went to his house and wanted to take a look. This also attracted a lot of antique dealers who wanted to buy this turtle at a high price. In the face of the temptation of money, the peasants were still unshakable. was unwilling to move the country. The cultural relics were sold to the so-called merchants, but there was no good way to deal with them, so they were carefully hidden in their homes. Until the local government learned of the situation, they sent experts from the Cultural Relics Bureau to come and see Look at the situation.
Valuable cultural relic
When the farmers took the treasured copper tortoise to the experts, the experts immediately began to conduct a very careful study and Considering that after a period of observation and reading the information, experts can basically conclude that the tortoise should be a bronze from the Shang Dynasty based on the material and some details of the tortoise. In addition to the age, the experts also The inscription on the back of the tortoise infers the historical story behind the tortoise. The inscription on its back is mainly "Bingshen, Wang Yuhuan, get. Wang Yi shoots, shoots three, and kills the arrow. Brother Wang Lingxing Like in the book, he said:'Playing Yu Yong, making a female treasure'.”
According to the text on this back and the relevant ancient records, we got this story: The rumor was about 3000 years ago. At that time, the Shang king and his ministers of the Shang Dynasty made a patrol near the Huan River, and the Huan River at that time is now the Anyang River. During the inspection, a turtle very similar to the tortoise was found in the river. Animals, called 鼋, This is a relatively large animal, weighing up to 100 kilograms, and is an extremely ancient amphibious animal.
When he saw this huge flying horse, Shang Wang bet like a book to see who can shoot it, so the two started the game. Among them, Shang Wang and the book each shot two arrows, so that they are no different from each other. In order to reward the minister’s superb skills, Shang WangLater, he gave Datong as a gift to the book. After receiving the gift from the king, also in order to express his gratitude to the king. Later, the book also ordered someone to make a bronze ware. In order to praise the greatness and kindness of King Shang and commemorate this event.
Although the true and false of the story is difficult to verify, this large bronze ware with four arrows is real. Although it may not have been ordered as a book, it is engraved on it. The inscriptions and materials prove that the origin of this bronze is not simple. And after that, some other bronze relics were excavated nearby, which demonstrated the excellent bronze making craftsmanship in ancient China, and the arrow on the back of this large bronze ware is important to archery in many ancient rituals. The connection, has precious historical investigation value and cultural value for its related research. It can be said that it is invaluable, and it can even be said that can no longer be measured by simple money.
After the identification, the experts also suggested that the farmers should donate it to the country, because the value of this piece of 文化 is too high, after hearing the introduction and suggestions of the experts Later, the farmers also went through very difficult considerations. Finally, in line with the cultural relics of the country, they should let more people see the culture of their country, and then donated the bronze giant.
Conclusion
In ancient China, there were very developed material and spiritual civilization constructions. Many of these ancient achievements have been handed down in the form of ancient books and cultural relics. It is the most precious wealth of the country and the wealth of the entire Chinese nation. It is of great significance to our current development and understanding of that period of history.
But the value of it has also attracted a lot of bad guys who illegally steal and buy antiques. In order to pursue their own interests, they have carried out extremely rude excavation of good tombs and destroyed a lot of them. Antiques and historical relics with archaeological value have caused extremely serious losses to our archaeological community.
And the behavior of the peasants in the story is extremely correct in my opinion, and it effectively protects the national cultural relics, although they were obtained accidentally and I am hearing about this antique After value, they did not lose their reason and judgment, and did not choose to sell it for profit. It is also extremely difficult. Not all people can maintain a clear understanding of such news. Farmers do this. His deeds are worthy of our praise.
