In order to repay the debt, the gold medal was sold, but the owner of the gold medal was Kublai Khan

In 1999, Li Xiangong was chased for debts, hurriedly carrying a mysterious gold medal to exchange money, the gold shop was willing to pay 17,000 yuan to buy, was about to throw it into the melting furnace, how to expect Li Xiangong to take a phone, a take back shouted: "Stop! Not for sale! ”

What's going on? Obviously, they have already negotiated the price, and they are anxious to use the money and regret it? Or is there another buyer?

This is to say the origin of this gold medal, when Li Xiangong's father dug sand in the Tao'er River Valley, digging and digging only to listen to the sound of metal coming from the sand, old Li quickly pulled it open, and sure enough, a long sheet of metal was exposed, and after careful scrutiny, he found that it was engraved with some words that had never been seen before.

But Old Li didn't think much of it, he put it on and took it home, he took it to an old man in the village to see, the old man said that the text on it, although he didn't know what it meant, but it seemed to have seen it on the portrait of Genghis Khan.

This became the topic of conversation in the village, everyone spread more and more magical, old Li worried that he would cause trouble, simply said to the outside world that he had given it away, until before his death, he handed this mysterious gold medal to his son Li Xiangong.

At first, Li Xiangong did not regard this thing as a treasure, and threw it into a corner and no one paid any attention to it. It wasn't until Li Xiangong's business failed, he was chased for debts, and his family's valuable things had been sold, that he remembered that there was still this gold medal.

Li Xiangong carefully examined this gold medal, looked at the strange text on it, he felt that this thing must be valuable, so he found the collector Liu Zhenchun to identify it, and after discussion, decided to get it to the bank to identify whether it was a gold medal or not.

After some testing, this really contains gold ingredients, at 58.44%, which made Li Xiangong excited, and Liu Zhenchun immediately said that he was willing to spend 12,000 yuan to buy this gold medal.

But when preparing to trade, Liu Zhenchun carefully observed the gold medal, found that there was a number at the round hole, Liu Zhenchun's heart was suddenly pulled up, thinking: "Isn't this thing stolen?" "Left and right want to abandon the deal.

Li Xiangong was anxious when he heard it, he was anxious to wait for money, since Liu Zhenchun did not buy, then he quickly found the next home, so he came to a gold store, the gold shop expressed his willingness to buy this gold medal for 17,000, but to melt him down and make it into gold bars.

Just when the gold medal was about to be thrown into the melting furnace, Liu Zhenchun called Li Xiangong, saying that this is likely to be a cultural relic, do not sell it, although Li Xiangong has not much culture, but as soon as he hears about the cultural relics, he quickly tells the gold shop that he will not sell it.

What's going on? Isn't Liu Zhenchun not going to buy it? How did he conclude that it was a relic?

It turned out that Liu Zhenchun photographed the text of the gold medal and sent it to a friend at the Shanghai Museum, who said that the text was the "Basbas" of the Yuan Dynasty, and quickly contacted Li Xiangong when he heard this.

What is the text of Basbavin, and why do few people know it? It comes from the time of Kublai Khan, when Kublai Khan wanted to promote Baspa as a national character, but the promotion did not go well, and later it became a special script for mongolian nobles to transmit secret information, which was difficult for ordinary people to decipher.

Since Baspa was only understood by the mongolian upper class at that time, and few people in the folk understood it, it was basically lost in the end, so there are only a few people who are proficient in Baspa now.

What is even more exciting is that this gold medal is not only a simple cultural relic, it looks exactly like the "Silver Sacred Tablet of the Yuan Dynasty", so it is quite precious, especially the former vice president of the Mongolian University, Professor Bao Xiang, who has been deeply cultivating in the field of Mongolian Culture, and he was excited after seeing the photos.

When Professor Bao said that he was willing to buy this gold medal for 52,000 yuan, Professor Bao did not take it for himself, but donated it to the Museum of Ethnology of the University of Inner Mongolia, becoming the "treasure of the town hall" here.

For this reason, the state also rewarded Li Xiangong with 50,000 yuan, although this gold medal has gone through twists and turns, but it was eventually preserved, providing us with an important physical contribution to understanding the writings of Kublai Khan's period.

@ Yun Ge chat about history So far, there are only three sacred tablets with Bass Ba Wen unearthed, one of which is Li Xiangong, and the gold system is also the first time it has appeared, which can be described as a rare treasure.

Therefore, in life, we are fortunate to pick up something that we have never seen before, do not easily destroy it, maybe it is a cultural relic that can bring us historical significance, reflecting the wisdom that the mainland has possessed since ancient times.
