It is said that a 47-year-old man from Germany has fished out a large number of jewels in the waters of the Southeast Sea and become a super upstart. This is the wreck of the Black Stone, a shipwreck loaded with treasures of the mid-to-late Tang Dynasty in the ninth century, and after he discovered the shipwreck, it attracted the attention of the cultural relics community. The Black Stone is a rare treasure house, and the number of treasures contained inside is quite large, including as many as 67,000 pieces of ceramic products, including Xing kiln plates, Tang Sancai, as well as Tang Dynasty blue and white flower painting plates and Changsha kilns, the largest of which is Changsha kiln porcelain from Hunan, about 5,000 pieces.
Among this batch of treasures, the more valuable one is blue and white porcelain, which is also the earliest blue and white porcelain that has appeared in China so far. The salvage of the Blackstone began in September 1998 and was not basically completed until June 1999. The treasures are of great value and are ready to be purchased by museums in many countries.
Foreign countries in Japan and Singapore have this intention, but until today, no museum has obtained this treasure. All the treasures of this shipwreck added together, the market price reached 40 million US dollars, which was converted into about 300 million yuan, such a high price, so many museums are prohibitive. During the period, some people suggested that the price of this batch of cultural relics was too high, hoping to buy only a part of it. However, the other party proposed that if you want to buy, you must buy as a whole, so some museums, because their economic ability is not in line, can only choose to give up the purchase in the end, which is also a regrettable thing.
On this black stone, there are also many precious "Changsha kilns", which may have been intended for export, but a large part of them have not appeared in China so far. Some people will regret why these antiquities cannot be returned to China, and judging the ownership of cultural relics is not to say that where the cultural relics belong to which country.
