Regarding the matter of handing over cultural relics, Zhang Tianyuan has heard about it recently, but it seems to be an ancient sword.

The incident happened in Danfeng, Shaanzhou, and the news was very popular on the Internet at the time.

Judging from the posts of netizens, the focus is basically on "rewarding 500 yuan", some feel that the reward is too small, some ridicule the hander is too stupid, and some people wonder if there is any forced ingredient here.

The reason is very simple, although everyone does not know how much this sword is worth, but since it is a 3000-year-old sword, it must be much higher than the value of 500 yuan RMB.

In fact, there may be more negative news about the handing over of cultural relics than the positive publicity seen, and the resulting disputes are innumerable, largely because "appropriate spiritual encouragement or material rewards from the state" are often too far behind the ideas of the handers.

The sword was worn by nobles and warriors in ancient times. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people wore swords to indicate hierarchical status. "Examination of the Gongji: Taoshi" contains: "The sword is divided into three systems: upper, middle and lower. The length of the sword is five times that of its stem, the upper system is called the upper system, the length of the body is four, the stem length is the middle system, and the length of the body is three times, and the stem length is called the lower system. ”

They correspond to the three identities of sergeant, sergeant, and corporal.

The bronze swords of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are precious historical relics, and the market price remains high. On July 10, 2011, Zhongbo Cultural Artwork Auction Co., Ltd. auctioned a bronze sword (56cm long) and sold it for 831,000 yuan. On October 26, 2008, the Imperial Capital Zhongjia International Auction Co., Ltd. auctioned a double-hoop sword (57cm long; 5cm wide) inlaid with turquoise stone in the early Warring States period, and the transaction price was 1.76 million yuan.

The Warring States bronze sword is well-cast and full of antiquity. It is very beautiful and highly collectible.

The ancient sword handed in by this benevolent brother is 46.5 centimeters long. It is 4 cm wide and weighs about 610 grams. It is shorter than the above two bronze swords, and it should belong to the sergeant's sabre, and the market price is naturally smaller, but it should also be worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, or even millions of yuan. He handed over to the state cultural relics department free of charge, which is commendable, and the cultural relics department should give him some material rewards. According to Article 12 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Cultural Relics, "where cultural relics are found to be reported or handed over in a timely manner, so that cultural relics can be protected", the state shall give spiritual encouragement or material rewards.

Although the Law on the Protection of Cultural Relics does not stipulate the amount of material rewards. But Zhang Tianyuan thinks that this thing should be more flexible, for example, you can reward 1% to 10% of the valuation of cultural relics to the right person who submits it. In this way, it is a bit outrageous to reward this brother with 500 yuan, and according to him, he should be rewarded at least 10,000 yuan.

There was an American joke about a little boy who wanted $100, so he wrote a postcard to God. When the postman saw that the recipient was God, he decided to send it to the White House. Bush Jr. was so excited and felt a sense of accomplishment when he received the letter that he instructed his secretary to mail the boy five dollars. After the little boy received the money. He wrote a thank you letter to God: "Dear God, thank you very much for the money you gave me. However, I noticed that for some reason, the money you mailed me had to go through Washington, D.C., and the scoundrels embezzled $95. ”

I hope that our honest Shaanxi cement worker Brother Li doesn't need to write to God like the little American boy in the joke. complained that the other 9,500 yuan was embezzled by the officials of the Cultural Relics Bureau.

It's really better not to give 500 yuan, which can easily cause some unnecessary trouble. You give a certificate, you give a medal. Even giving a top ten young man or something, it makes more sense than the five hundred yuan.

Of course. You can also give 10,000 yuan, although 10,000 yuan is less, but it is a lot more than 500 yuan, otherwise there are really people who are willing to take risks, and they will not hand over this thing at all, and if they sell it privately, it will cost tens of thousands of dollars.

The ancient sword is like this, and the same is true for others, but this stall owner said that he has an ancient Fang Tian painting halberd, Zhang Tianyuan is a little suspicious, this ancient sword was found in Shaanzhou, which is reasonable, because at that time, many wars broke out in Shaanzhou, and it is normal for ancient swords to be discovered, but what is going on with this Fang Tian painting halberd, is it true?

As a result, when he looked at the so-called Fang Tian painting halberd, he laughed, this fake was too unlevel, and he knew that it was a prop at a glance.

"I said buddy, are you taking me for a fool? This is a serious crew prop, selling broken copper and iron can sell for some money, forget it, I don't think you have any good things here, let's go." Zhang Tianyuan was not disappointed in his heart, because he didn't expect that what this guy said about Fang Tian's painting halberd was true.

"Wait a minute, boss, in fact, I'm just trying you, I really have good things here, but I can't let others see it, you come here." The stall owner looked around, and when he saw that the person who was filming had not come, he crouched down and pulled out a box from under the table.

"What is this?"

"Boss, don't ask what this is, just say dare you buy it, this thing is absolutely real, but if I want to sell it to you, it is illegal. ”

Zhang Tianyuan knows that there is such a law in our country, isn't there still someone who ridicules the incident in Shaanzhou, saying, "If you hand it over, you will be given 500, and if you don't hand it over, you will be fined 50,000 yuan", which is fair.

But fair or unfair aside, but this thing is true, there really is such a law.

Although it is not good to know the law and break the law, but some laws are really decorations, it depends on the mood of the law enforcer, buying and selling this kind of thing, as long as you don't let people know, anyway, he has been to the black market, this kind of thing is not undone.

"If you don't say it, I won't say it, God knows that you know that I know, as long as the thing is good, then I want it!" Zhang Tianyuan is not a righteous gentleman, he said that the underground things belong to the state, and he has always disagreed, so if the thing is really good, then he will definitely not be ambiguous when he buys it, and there is no pressure.

"Okay, with the boss, that's fine. After the stall owner finished speaking, he opened the box, pointed to the contents and said, "This is it." I went to visit the Terracotta Warriors and Horses in Shaanzhou during the Chinese New Year, and on the way back because the car broke down. I was repairing the car on the side of the road, but I saw a handful of black things thrown in the wheat field on the side of the road. At first, I thought it was just a rusty iron rod, so I didn't care much, but then I was really bored, and I took a look at it, and I saw that it was a sword, but unfortunately the rust was terrible, but I don't know if you can see it, boss.

When Zhang Tianyuan saw that thing, he was also directly dumbfounded, not so much a sword. It's better to say that it is a rusty piece of iron, about sixty centimeters in length, and it is rusty on it, it looks like it is all patina, it is really miserable, even if it is a real ancient sword, it is not of much value, not to mention that this thing is handed over to the state, it is estimated that it is given away for nothing. The state is afraid that it will not want it, no wonder it will be thrown in the wheat field by the roadside.

"I said, brother, are you kidding? Can this thing be considered a sword? If you don't look closely, you can't even see the shape of the sword. This can also be called a sword?"

"Hey, boss, I just said that. This thing must have rusted because it was so old. But if you want, I can sell it to you cheaply. I don't want much, just 10,000 yuan, how about it? This is a genuine ancient sword!" "The stall owner probably didn't throw away this sword, probably because he thought that since he had picked it up, he didn't sell it for nothing, and it didn't make sense to keep it for himself, but he was too unkind, he wanted 10,000 yuan for this thing, and Zhang Tianyuan felt that it was a waste to give fifty.

"Yes, you should keep the 10,000 yuan for yourself, I'm not interested, goodbye to you. Zhang Tianyuan was angry in his heart, what the hell did he dare to ask for 10,000, it was really in the eyes of money, but when he got up, he couldn't help but take a look at it, this time he used the word recognition trick, for fear of missing out on good things.

It didn't matter what he saw, but it startled him, the dazzling light almost blinded his eyes, and the earth qi filled with it was so powerful, you don't need to ask to know that this thing is definitely an ancient sword, and it has a very long history.

"Boss, don't go, a thousand yuan, a thousand yuan is fine, it's not easy for me to bring it back from Shaanzhou, you have to pay some hard money." "The stall owner is also in a hurry, probably he has let many people see this thing, and others are not willing to bid at all.

"Then I'll take a look. Zhang Tianyuan didn't want to leave, but when he heard that this person had reduced the price tenfold, he just got off the donkey and squatted down.

He wondered why this thing had such a powerful earthly aura, so he had to take a closer look, he had encountered a picture-in-picture before, so he was particularly sensitive to such a thing, what if under this rusty thing, it was actually a sword of the world?

He didn't have anything else to do today, he just came to visit, so he wasn't afraid of delaying time, so there was no problem with spending more time here. Nowadays, the price of antique swords is not low, just like the example given before, the general ancient swords, there are hundreds of thousands, or even millions of prices, although he doesn't care about the money, but there is no Chinese ancient sword in his collection, this is a pity, only a demon knife from Japan.

"Oh, how do you look at this thing, it's so uninteresting......"

Although Zhang Tianyuan said so, he didn't think so in his heart, he had already checked it carefully, this ancient sword should at least be something from the Spring and Autumn Period, and it may even be even older, it is still a treasure of the Yin Shang era, anyway, the earth qi is so strong, and the dragon phase is so obvious, this will definitely not be forged by later generations.

On the surface, this sword is about sixty centimeters long and five or six centimeters wide, it should be regarded as a long sword worn by a sergeant, and this kind of sword in general can be worth millions, or even millions, this thing is too much rust, so the price is definitely not worth it, but the secret in this sword makes Zhang Tianyuan very interested, he has actually made up his mind to buy it at this time, but to do business, the price must be as cheap as possible.

He used the word reading trick to look through the patina, trying to really understand what the inside of the sword was like, but after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see anything.

Because no matter how you look at it, there is a dazzling light in it, and it is as if there is nothing in it, and it stands to reason that under the patina, if there is really something, if it is really a sword in the sword, then you should be able to see the sword body, and you can judge what the sword under the patina is.

But the truth was not good, this not only did not discourage Zhang Tianyuan, but made him more interested.

"Brother, give a real price, just this broken copper and iron, a thousand yuan is still too expensive, and then reduce it appropriately, I didn't bring much money when I came out today, if you really don't want to sell it, then forget it." "Zhang Tianyuan can't be too simple now, he has to pretend that nothing happened. (To be continued......)
