From ancient times to the present, our country has handed down many precious cultural relics. In addition to those found in museums, there are still many that are buried underground and have not been discovered by people. Of course, some are picked up by ordinary people and regarded as ancestral items, and they are passed down from generation to generation. We all know that these cultural relics play a very important role for the country. They are also witnesses of a period of history and are of great significance to historical research.
After thousands of years of war and rain, some cultural relics have disappeared, but there are still a small number of cultural relics that have been passed down to the world. Once upon a time, there was an old farm family in China who passed down "a piece of paper" to 13 generations, and they have always maintained that unique sentiment. Later, after expert investigation, it was discovered that this piece of paper is very precious. It can be said to be a unique treasure in China and even the world. The experts have personally visited 24 times for this purpose. I believe everyone is also curious about what kind of treasure this is. Today we Let’s find out.
The origin of the family heirloom
The farmer’s name is Zhao Huanbin, and his ancestors have been farmers for generations. This also makes people wonder why their family has such a priceless treasure? Later, after getting to know more, I learned that the old farmer's family was still a large family hundreds of years ago. At that time, there was a champion in the family, the ancestor of the old farmer, named Zhao Bingzhong, who served in the palace. With the position of Minister of Rites, the future is bright. However, there are unforeseen circumstances, and none of us know which one will come first, tomorrow or the accident. There are always unseen bloody storms in the fame and fortune market, and Zhao Bingzhong was deprived of his official position because of his upright temperament, resulting in his young age. He passed away at a young age.
For Zhao Bingzhong, successfully passing the No. 1 Scholar examination is his lifelong pride and honor, so the No. 1 Scholar paper is of great significance to him, and the piece of paper he regards as a family heirloom is also the so-called No. 1 Scholar. Paper was passed down for 13 generations before it arrived at Zhao Huanbin's place, becoming an ancestral treasure of his family. Their family values ??this heirloom more than their lives. After all, there are not many champion papers left in China. Only some from the Qing Dynasty are kept in Taiwan, and their value is not very high.
Experts visited 24 times
For the experts, they all hope to collect more precious treasures and collect more information beneficial to society. An expert, Wei Zhensheng, became very interested in it after hearing the news about this champion paper. If this piece of paper could be verified to be authentic, then their No. 1 Scholar paper would be unique in the world. For this reason, he personally visited the house, but he never thought that Zhao Huanbin and his family had a tacit understanding not to mention anything about the No. 1 Scholar paper. information.
After returning empty-handed, Wei Zhensheng also felt a little disappointed. However, his love for cultural relics had reached an extreme state, and he could only persuade Zhao Huanbin's family over and over again, hoping that they could save such precious cultural relics. Hand it over to the state so it can be better protected. After experiencing successive failures, Wei Zhensheng still did not give up. Although he was rejected every time, he readily accepted it. After all, this was the only precious item left by his ancestors. No one else could easily donate it, so for this, Wei Zhensheng was very patient.
The expert's attitude caused controversy
The two were at a stalemate. What is shocking is that Wei Zhensheng visited 24 times before successfully persuading Zhao Huanbin's family to give up such a treasure. Donating it to the country is enough to show how much he loves cultural relics. The actions of Wei Zhensheng, an expert, also aroused heated discussions among many netizens.
Some netizens said: This is a person’s ancestral treasure. Whether to donate or not is also their own business. No one can force it. After all, this priceless treasure can improve the lives of several generations. Some netizens also said: Handing over such cultural relics to the country will definitely make a great contribution to our country's society, and even promote the entire Chinese culture and historical process.
Netizens also hold different opinions and have their own opinions.
Submit it to the country and make it a treasure of the town
After the experts got this number one scholar, they immediately sent it to a professional institution for appraisal, and then they learned that this number one scholar The paper was produced during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. It is also the only earliest surviving examination paper for the number one scholar in the world. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a unique treasure in China and even the world. In addition, the calligraphy on this No. 1 scholar paper is not inferior to that of today's calligraphers, and it is also very valuable for collection.
The discovery of this No. 1 Scholar paper gives us a deeper understanding of history, and the Zhao Huanbin family who donated cultural relics also received an honorary banner from the country to express the country’s gratitude to them. and dedication. Unfortunately, Zhao Huanbin passed away not long after donating the cultural relics, but even so, his son believed that his father's approach was correct, and he was sincerely proud of his father. Nowadays, this priceless treasure is also treasured in the Qingzhou Municipal Museum and has become a treasure of the town.
Everyone is responsible for the protection of cultural relics
Liao Mosha once said: As long as we all respect history, we will definitely be able to get the truth. As children of the Chinese nation, everyone has the responsibility to protect the cultural heritage left to us by our ancestors. Because these cultural relics are witnesses of our history and have a great promotion effect on our society. Maybe some people can't understand Zhao Huanbin's donation of cultural relics. For their family, it is their family's greatest honor to be able to contribute their own modest efforts to the country.
Cultural relic protection is the unshirkable responsibility of each of us. This is also the root of our country. Although we cannot make great contributions to the country like scientists, we can also use our own meager strength to Do what you can. Whether they are treasure holders or cultural relic experts, their purpose is to protect the cultural relics and hand them over to the country, which will inevitably bring out their maximum value. Nowadays, there are still many cultural relics that have gradually disappeared in the long history of history, so the protection of cultural relics is urgent. I don’t know, if you were Zhao Huanbin, what would you do? Will you continue to keep your ancestral belongings with you? Or will it be handed over to the state to maximize its value?
