On September 15, a reporter from Jingshi Live launched an investigation. When I searched on the second-hand platform of Xianyu, I found that a seller was selling tiles from Wuhan University with a price tag of 600 yuan. After checking the seller's homepage, it was found that a number of Wuhan University tiles have been successfully sold, with prices ranging from 100 yuan to 500 yuan each. When the reporter consulted the seller, the seller said that these tiles were found, the tiles have a long history, and belong to cultural relics, and said that many people have come to inquire about the purchase recently.
Netizens reported that the intact Wuda glazed tiles were fried to a maximum of 3,650 yuan on the second-hand platform. In response to this matter, the reporter asked the customer service staff of Xianyu. The customer service said that the Xianyu platform does not support the sale of cultural relics. Once the system finds that cultural relics related to history are detected, they may be removed from the shelves or other penalties may be imposed. If the user finds such a situation, they can also report it, and the result will be available within three working days after the report.
In fact, this matter has been foreshadowed for a long time. Previously, the staff of the security office of Wuhan University said that the school was renovating the roof of the old dormitory, and there were some potential safety hazards during this period, and students were not allowed to rush to the construction site to pick up tiles. And you can't pick up new tiles or old tiles, because many of them are cultural relics, even if you want to keep them as memorials.
There are also relevant legal provisions involved behind this incident. Lawyer Wu Xingjian also expressed his opinion on this, and lawyer Wu Xingjian said that if the relevant departments determine that these tiles are cultural relics, according to the relevant provisions of the People's Republic of China Cultural Relics Protection Law, individuals are neither allowed to collect nor trade, but should hand over the cultural relics to the cultural relics department. Of course, if these items are not recognized as cultural relics, then they are not subject to the relevant regulations on the protection of cultural relics in the mainland.
