introduction
The jade seal that is now famous all over the world, and the heshi bi, were once considered to be nothing more than a stone. "Heshi Bi" has a saying: "I am not sad, but sad and precious jade and the title is stone." "For treasures, people who don't know the goods see only a pile of broken copper and rotten iron, but people who understand where the value is, all they see in their eyes is the imprint of history and the passage of time, so there have been many treasure experts in China."
Ordinary people are almost ignorant of the true value of an object, especially the value of cultural relics. Without systematic learning and exercise, as well as the accumulation of acquired experience and the eyesight of the old way, it can be said that there are very few people who can really identify treasures without the help of instruments and equipment. As a result, various treasure hunting programs were born to allow people to identify the value of the cultural relics they hold. However, the rise of the treasure industry must also have the existence of muddy waters. Jianbao experts 170,000 deceived Qianlong's true deeds, re-sold 87.36 million, Henan farmers desperately called the police. So what's going on?
01
In China, cultural relics have always been enduring objects, and the more ancient things are, the higher their value. Countless wealthy merchants and collectors have thrown a lot of money for cultural relics, which is really a bit extravagant. However, the truly valuable cultural relics are now preserved in the museum, which is properly preserved and welcomed by everyone.
The market price of cultural relics will naturally breed a large number of counterfeiters, and even the appearance of scammers. This treasure expert bought the true hand of the Qianlong Emperor for 170,000 yuan from a Farmer in Henan, and then sold it at a price of 87.36 million yuan.
There were many dynasties in ancient China, and the number of emperors was also very large, but if you put it into the five thousand years of history, in fact, the emperors are still very rare. The emperor's noble status has also made the imperial gifts precious, especially now, the price of cultural relics that can be related to the emperor is definitely several times that of other cultural relics of the same type.

In Henan, there is a pair of brothers surnamed Zhu, both of whom are honest and responsible farmers who live by farming. However, their home has a painting that is said to be the original "Songyang Hanbaitu" painted by the Qianlong Emperor himself. The two brothers have always been half-convinced about whether this painting was painted by Qianlong, and finally simply took the painting to the cultural relics expert, wanting to know the actual value of the painting. When the expert saw the painting, he was very excited at first, but it didn't take long to show a different look, and he refused to say what the value of the painting was, as if he saw the real appearance of the painting.
Under the questioning of the brothers, the experts said that the painting was just a fake and did not have much value, but because of its painting skills and age, it could also have some collection value. The brothers actually did not believe this, but under the explanation of many professional words of experts, they gradually believed that what the experts said was true, and they were inevitably a little disappointed. As a result, the expert said that he also liked the painting, so he might as well buy it for 170,000 yuan. As soon as the two of them listened, a fake could sell for 170,000 yuan, which was such a good thing, and they immediately agreed.
As a result, they did not expect that they had been deceived by experts. It turned out that the discerning expert could see at a glance that the painting was actually genuine, but he had no industry ethics and told the truth to the two brothers, but wanted to keep the painting himself. So he told the lie that the painting was a fake, and then after buying the painting for 170,000 yuan, the expert immediately sent the painting to the auction, and the result was a sky-high price of 87.36 million. The peasant brothers who learned of this also chose to call the police, but the three were willing to make a deal, and in the end, the police could not do it, so they had to stop it.
epilogue
Tang Li Bai's "Reward Cui WulangZhong" wrote: "The sea is still tiltable, and the toast will never move." It can be seen that honesty and keeping promises have been the virtues advocated by China since ancient times, but unfortunately, this expert has been tempted by money and profit, and cannot achieve integrity, and can only face it with lies. In the face of money, there will always be people who are moved, but unfortunately, behind the money, the accompanying risk is not small.
