"True, sincere." Not refined, insincere, can not move. "Nobel invented safe explosives and smokeless gunpowder, obtained many patents, and thus accumulated a lot of wealth. But in the end he used all his wealth as a fund, and rewarded the world with the interest he had for his brilliant inventions.
From ancient times to the present, many dynasties have been bred on the land of China. Some dynasties have been brilliant for hundreds of years and have left a strong mark on history. Some dynasties appeared for a short time, but they also left traces in the long river of history. The old man picked up 7 pounds of gold lumps, melted when the gold sold for 1200 yuan, experts said that 300 million is gone.
The mainland is an ancient civilization with a glorious and splendid history. There is more than one way to understand the glorious or gradually forgotten history, but also from the various texts that have been left behind, and the various books have recorded it. Everyone is familiar with the "Records of History", "Zizhi Tongjian", etc., and most people do not understand the history books written by many dynasties in the long river of history. Although it is often a long time, many of the words recorded in books or bamboo strips slowly disappear, and even many disappear at the moment when they are first unearthed and touch the air, which is a pity.
It is only gratifying that a lot of history is passed down one by one by people, and finally recorded by people, so that modern people can understand the history that is either blood-boiling, silent, or sad. Some history makes everyone feel sad and even reluctant to remember, but in any case, it is something that our ancestors experienced, no matter how unwilling they are, and should not be forgotten. Only by familiarizing ourselves with history can we better learn the good parts and avoid the recurrence of sad things.
Time flies, the mainland's economy is developing rapidly, and so far the mainland has unearthed a lot of cultural relics. The continent has a long history, so there is constant news of ancient tombs being discovered. Some are at construction sites, and some are even found in farmland. The artifacts excavated from these tombs are of great value for the study of past history. It is precisely because of the long history that ancient people have appeared in many places, so there are many things that ordinary people pick up cultural relics. In the 1970s, an old man who picked up garbage inadvertently picked up a seven-pound gold lump on the road.
At that time, people's living conditions were not good, and this golden lump was undoubtedly a huge windfall. The old man was very happy, because it was close to the New Year, and this golden knot meant that he could have a comfortable and good year. He had been picking up garbage for a living because he was often frozen and hungry, and he also had the intention of picking up some valuable things in exchange for some food.
One day, as he usually did for many days, he came to the garbage mountain to rummage through things that could be exchanged for money or food, but his luck seemed to be a little bad, and he did not find anything useful all morning. He was about to leave, but when he turned his head, he was shook by an inexplicable light.
He walked over with some doubt, wanting to find out. He didn't think about it, but he just saw an iron rod, and just when he was disappointed, he found that this iron rod seemed to be different. There were some knots on the iron rods, and these knots also shone with yellow light. Out of sensitivity to money, he subconsciously felt that this was gold, quickly rummaged through it, and unexpectedly found many of the same gold lumps.
After he collected all the golden lumps and went home to weigh them, there were seven pounds. In addition to being happy, the old man quickly burned the golden knot with fire, and he was not completely overwhelmed by the happiness. Because it was all speculation before, the use of fire is to use the characteristics of gold to verify. It turned out that this lump, which weighed a full seven pounds, was really gold.
After the verification, the old man was ecstatic and rushed to take the golden lump to the town to prepare to sell it. He first found the gold shop to melt away the gold that was not very pure, and after purification, there were still four pounds left, although it was nearly half less, but the old man was already very satisfied. In the end, the four pounds of pure gold were bought by the owner of the gold shop, and the old man got 1200 pieces.
During the period, the owner of the gold shop lowered the price for various reasons, but for the people of that era, 1200 yuan was still a huge amount of money, and the old man was very satisfied, after all, it was a windfall. He went home and repaired the house and bought clothes, which attracted the attention of those around him, and soon the news of his picking up the gold spread.
The cultural relics expert immediately drove to the old man's home, and through inquiry, the expert saw the iron rod that the old man had put aside. According to the experts' deduction, the iron rod is likely to be an artifact of the ancient Huns, and the specific purpose of it is not provisionally inferred. This is a very important cultural relic for research, but it was melted off by the old man. This is a very regrettable thing, and even experts say that the old man's move has lost at least three hundred million.
In addition to the economic losses, the losses to the historians are even greater, and there is no way to recover them. Such a thing is not an isolated case, so the mainland has enacted relevant laws to protect cultural relics. In life, if you see or pick up something very similar to a cultural relic, do not take it for yourself, and promptly notify the relevant departments to deal with it, so as not to cause irreparable losses.
