The existence of every era is inevitable, whether it is a famous chaotic world or a prosperous world in thousands of years of history, it is inevitable. For future generations, it is worth learning lessons or learning. History can only be traced back and cannot be repeated, so people are also very interested in the cultural relics left over from ancient times.
In addition to archaeologists, there are also many antique collectors. Precious cultural relics are generally not privately owned, and handing them over to the state is the most valuable place to go, which also provides more information for experts to study history. Nowadays, some of the cultural relics collected in the museum are from the people, and they are found by chance and handed over to the state.
Of course, not every artifact can be valued. An old man in Chongqing, after stumbling upon the ancient Qinglong Sword, privately polished it and used it as a kitchen knife. By the time experts discovered it, it had long since been damaged and lost the value of the collection.
The old man accidentally got the ancient sword, stubbornly believing that it was worthless
In ancient times, weapons such as swords were common. There is a saying in ancient books: "Han Gao's ancestors won the world by fighting the three-foot sword", in the history of thousands of years, wars have broken out countless times, and weapons have deepened step by step. The use of the sword, although not exclusively for killing, is also a scribe's ornament, and is one of the indispensable items in ancient times.
In modern times, weapons such as swords no longer exist, and only a few are collected in museums. When the so-called "stepping on the iron shoe is nowhere to be found, it takes no effort at all", some of them are accidental, people discover the existence of ancient swords.
An old man in Chongqing surnamed Yi was out for a walk when he stumbled upon an ancient sword in a remote place. According to normal operation, after the discovery of ancient items, it is generally directly identified by professionals. But the old man was notoriously careless and did not act after getting the ancient sword.
In the end, it was one of his enthusiastic neighbors who prompted him to go to the experts for identification. Although you don't necessarily know the expertise of weapons, since they are ancient swords dug out of the ground, many of them may be collectible cultural relics. At the urging of his neighbors many times, the old man finally went out with the ancient sword, so that the ancient sword would not disappear all the time.
Under the appraisal of experts, it is preliminarily estimated that the ancient sword is a cultural relic from the Qing Dynasty. However, due to its age and lack of special protection, many traces on ancient swords have affected the identification. Originally it was only a preliminary estimate, but in the eyes of the stubborn old man, the expert's words meant that the ancient sword was "worthless".
For some ordinary people, the value of ancient cultural relics may only lie in whether they are worth anything. Coupled with the fact that the old man was preconceived and insisted that it was worthless, he had no intention of handing over the ancient sword. Under such a thought, the old man found an excuse to leave, and did not leave the ancient sword behind.
The ancient sword appeared in seal script, and the Green Dragon Sword was reduced to a kitchen knife
After the ancient sword was once again brought home by the old man, it became a kitchen knife.
But in fact, after the old man brought it home, he had already seen the other side of the ancient sword. In the beginning, the reason why experts could not make a definitive identification was because there was too much rust on it. When he brought the ancient sword back, the old man grinded off the rust and saw the words engraved on the sword.
The ancient font was obviously different from today's, and the old man could not understand it anyway, so he took it to others for advice. He was then told that the sword was engraved with a seal and written with three words: Green Dragon Sword. Seeing this, most people can already realize that this sword is extraordinary.
But the stubborn old man still felt that there was nothing unusual, so he took it home as a kitchen knife.
Since he had been taken out of the door twice, the fact that Yi Laohan had an ancient sword in his home was already known to many people in the local area. Five years later, when some experts arrived in Chongqing, they heard about such a thing. But by the time the experts excitedly rushed to Yi Laohan's home to look for it, the so-called Green Dragon Sword had become an old kitchen knife and was already mutilated.
Knowing the ins and outs of the matter, the experts felt angry and helpless. In the Tang Dynasty Yin Cheng style "Youyang Miscellaneous Tricks" once recorded: "In Tang Kaiyuan, Hexi rode Song Qingchun every time, and changyun sword shouted,...... Tubo Yue: "When you see the green dragon coming suddenly, as far as the blade of the soldiers can reach, if you knock on the copper and iron, you are said to be a general of the gods." It can be seen that the Green Dragon Sword is also one of the legends of ancient weapons.
When the Green Dragon Sword met Yi Laohan, it became a kitchen knife. This is also a major cultural relics loss, but at this point, experts are no longer angry and useless, can only persuade the elderly can no longer treat antiquities so casually, but also hope that others will take it as a warning. If experts could persuade Yi Laohan when they first identified antiquities, they might be able to save an antiquity and not become an ordinary kitchen knife by violent objects.
brief summary
Respect history, revere history, and not ignore history. For Yi Laohan, what he dug out of the ground was just a normal thing, and it seemed that as long as it was not valuable, he could be treated at will. But even if it is really worthless, it is also a real antiquity, or it should be treated with caution. Otherwise, this kind of example of using the Green Dragon Sword as a kitchen knife may happen again.
