Chapter 0472: Jade Pig Dragon

When he heard Xiao Nizi's crazy voice just now, Qiao Tianyu's heart was as uncomfortable as a knife, but when Qiao Tianyu heard what Xiao Nizi said, Qiao Tianyu suddenly became alert, "Pendant? What pendant?!"

"Oh, it's just a gadget. The second uncle didn't take it too seriously and explained casually.

"That gadget was given to Xiao Nizi by Lily, during this time Lily played with Xiao Nizi all day long, and Xiao Nizi fell in love with a pendant around Lily's neck, so Lily took it off and gave it to Xiao Nizi. ”

"But it's strange for you to say, since Lily gave the pendant to Xiao Nizi, Xiao Nizi doesn't seem to be as crazy as before, and even told me a few days ago that she wants to learn to read!"

"The pendant that Lily gave to Xiao Nizi?" Qiao Tianyu was even more dumbfounded when he heard this, and hurriedly gestured with his two hands.

"Second uncle, is that pendant as big as the mouth of a teacup, round, a bit like a pig and like a coiling dragon, the whole body is toothy white and slightly green, mainly some black and red patches on the mouth and tail?"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's exactly like you said, Tianyu, have you seen that pendant too?" the second uncle asked curiously.

"Hey, I've seen it before!" Qiao Tianyu nodded thoughtfully, "I understand! I finally understand!"

"Daddy, Daddy, my pendant, where's my pendant? whoa, whoa......"

Just when Qiao Tianyu was talking to the second uncle, Xiao Nizi had already waited impatiently, and started to go crazy again, the second uncle was worried about stimulating Xiao Nizi again, so he quickly got up and walked towards the north house, and said.

"Tianyu, you sit down and drink saliva first, and I'll help her find it!"

"Okay, second uncle, you can go quickly!" Qiao Tianyu nodded vigorously.

"Joe, Joe!" When the second uncle walked away, Michelle suddenly grabbed Qiao Tianyu's arm and asked suspiciously.

"Qiao, I listened to your description of that pendant just now, why does it sound so much like the Jade Pig Dragon, a national treasure-level cultural rel----ic with the reputation of 'China's No. 1 Jade Dragon'?"

Let's briefly introduce the Jade Pig Dragon.

The Jade Pig Dragon, also known as the Jade Beast Jue, was first discovered in 1984 in Niuheliang at the junction of Lingyuan County and Jianping County in Liaoning Province in the Hongshan Cultural Tomb Group about 5,000 years ago.

Because of the special shape and peculiar shape, the jade beast Jue is like a pig, like a dragon and like a bear, so far there is no conclusion in the archaeological community, so it is named the jade pig dragon.

The whole body of the jade pig dragon is polished, thick and smooth, the lines are smooth, the shape is vivid, and it is extremely exquisite, so it is also known as "the first beautiful jade in China".

As soon as the jade pig dragon was discovered, it immediately shocked the entire world archaeological community, and archaeologists from all over the world flocked to see the true face of the "first beautiful jade in China".

Museums around the world have also sent applications to Huaxia, wanting to hold a "solo exhibition" for Jade Pig Dragon, so that people all over the world can feast their eyes.

In order to protect the safety of the jade pig dragon, the Chinese National Cultural Bureau rejected all applications for the exhibition, and designated the jade pig dragon as a "permanent ban on appearance" cultural relics, which were protected with the highest specifications.

Therefore, the status of jade pig dragon in the history of Chinese jade is definitely no less than that of "He's Bi" back then.

Even in places such as the National Museum of China, where the highest cultural relics of 5,000 years of China are gathered, the Jade Pig Dragon can definitely be regarded as a national treasure at the level of "Treasure of the Town"!

"That's right, that's the Jade Pig Dragon!" Qiao Tianyu nodded very seriously.

"Huh, do you mean that the national treasure jade pigdragon is in Lily's hand, and Lily has given it to Xiao Nizi in turn?" Michelle was shocked and her mouth couldn't close.

"I'll just say that Lily is not a good thing, a national treasure like the Jade Pig Dragon, she doesn't hand it over to the country, and she sends it around, in case she bumps it, can she afford this responsibility?"

"Oh, that's not right!" said Michelle, who suddenly seemed to have discovered some new continent, and hurriedly asked.

"As the top national treasure, hasn't the jade pig dragon been stored in the National Museum, how did it come to Lily's hands? Could it be that Lily stole the jade pig dragon from the National Museum?!"

"Hey, if that's the case, then Lily should be cut with a thousand knives and not understand her hatred, she is really bold and rebellious, and she dares to steal national treasures, it's really too much!"

"Okay, okay, look at what excites you, this is not the case!" Qiao Tianyu saw that Michelle was talking more and more excessively, so he quickly shouted to stop her and explained.

"The Jade Pig Dragon is the top national treasure, and as the most important religious sacrificial instrument in the Hongshan culture, the Jade Pig Dragon is not only the pair in the National Museum. ”

"In fact, before Chinese archaeologists discovered the jade pig dragon in 1984, there were tomb robbers who excavated the jade pig dragon in the tombs of the Hongshan culture. ”

It's just that the tomb robbers didn't know the important historical value of the jade pig dragon at that time, and just sold it abroad as an ordinary ancient jade, and later by chance, the jade pig dragon was discovered by Lily's maternal great-grandfather Qiao Yuanshan. ”

Qiao Yuanshan saw that the jade pig dragon was a typical ancient Chinese jade, and the shape was strange and exquisite, so he spent a lot of money to buy it, wanting the jade pig dragon to return to the motherland. ”

Of course, in those years, after Qiao Yuanshan, a patriotic overseas Chinese, became famous, he searched for high-end auctions in Europe and the United States, and specialized in auctioning the cultural relics of China that were scattered overseas, and the cultural relics he bought were not only jade pig dragons. ”

But because of the war in China a few years ago, Qiao Yuanshan was worried that a large number of cultural relics would not be properly resettled after returning to China, and then China experienced a period of seclusion, and the relationship between China and the United States was relatively tense, so until his death, Qiao Yuanshan was unable to send those cultural relics back to the motherland as he wished. ”

So on the occasion of his death, Qiao Yuanshan distributed the collected cultural relics to the descendants of the Qiao family, and warned the descendants that they must one day bring those cultural relics back to China, but the old man's wish. ”

And Lily's mother, that is, Qiao Hanfei, also got three precious cultural relics back then, namely the jade pig dragon pendant, the jade old pit jade bracelet and the purple diamond silver box, and later Qiao Hanfei left these three cultural relics to Lily. ”

Because she lost her mother at a young age, and those three treasures were the only thoughts her mother left to Lily, Lily has always kept those three treasures as the most precious things. ”

"Especially the piece of jade pig dragon, Lily is even more like a treasure to wear by her side, in her own words, only when she feels the jade pig dragon on her body at all times, she feels that her mother has always been by her side, she will feel at ease!"

And this time, Lily gave the Jade Pig Dragon to Lily, which can be regarded as allowing the Jade Pig Dragon to return to China after decades. ”
