Hearing Boss Tang's words, Zhang Tianyuan just smiled and didn't say anything more.

No one is stupid in these years, the era of everything for the country and everything for development has passed, and people now think more about themselves.

It is really appropriate to put the saying that people don't destroy heaven and earth for themselves, whether you believe it or not, this is the case.

Speaking of which, our country has formulated many laws and regulations for these antique toys unearthed in private.

Article 79 of the General Principles of the Civil Law stipulates that buried objects and hidden objects whose owners are unknown shall be owned by the State.

In accordance with the Law on the Protection of Cultural Relics, it is further clarified that all cultural relics remaining in the ground, internal waters and territorial waters within the territory of the People's Republic of China belong to the State.

Article 114 of the Property Law stipulates that if the property rights of buried or hidden objects are discovered, and the Law on the Protection of Cultural Relics and other laws provide otherwise, such provisions shall prevail.

The sole owner of the property rights of cultural relics buried underground is the state, and the state exercises the right to possess, use, benefit and dispose of. Any agreement or agreement between individual citizens or other organizations on the ownership of cultural relics found underground shall have no legal effect if it violates the aforementioned national laws and regulations. At the same time, the act of citizens handing over to the state the cultural relics buried underground discovered by individuals does not infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of other organizations and individuals.

However, although the law is so, is there such a saying, called "people die for money, birds die for food", and there is also a sentence called "support the bold, starve to death the timid", especially after someone nearby privately collects antiques and antiques and then makes a fortune, there will be many people who follow to learn.

That's what our country's legal enforcement looks like. As long as no one knows, this law will be very difficult to enforce.

What's more, antiques are so hot now. Maybe a broken book, a few pages, and a urinal can make you rich overnight. There are not a few people who think this way.

Now that life is so stressful, it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to marry a daughter-in-law for a child. Where does the money go?

Since you can't get the right way, you can only think of a crooked way, which is the beginning of rampant tomb robbing.

However, with the strengthening of the law and the severe crackdown at the beginning, tomb robbery is not as rampant as before. But there are still some now, and tomb robbing and smuggling have become an assembly line.

When he was a child, Zhang Tianyuan often daydreamed with his friends, digging in the yard with a shovel, hoping to dig up the "treasures" buried by the ancients. We didn't know that at the time. This behavior can bring you jail time, even in your own yard.

Zhao, a 52-year-old farmer in Shaanzhou, is such an "unlucky egg". In July 2014, when Zhao and his brother were digging the roots of a tree at their younger brother's house, they found an ancient tomb under the tree and began to excavate. The two dug up 8 bronzes, which were unsuccessfully resold due to price issues. After being reported by the masses, the public security organs arrested the two. After identification, there are 4 national second-class cultural relics and 4 national third-class cultural relics among the 8 cultural relics. And after the on-site investigation of the Xifeng City Institute of Cultural Relics Protection and Archaeology. The tomb is located in the Phong Ho Site Conservation Area. Zhao was sentenced to 15 years in prison and fined 100,000 yuan by the Xifeng Intermediate People's Court in the first instance for the crime of stealing and excavating ancient tombs.

After this incident was reported by the media, it was not surprising that it caused an uproar on the Internet. The old question of "why are the cultural relics in my yard belonging to the state" has surfaced again, and many netizens intuitively feel that the punishment is too heavy. Zhao was very wronged.

Indeed, judging from the current law, the sentencing of 15 years and a fine of 100,000 yuan is based on evidence. Article 328 of the Criminal Law contains provisions on the crime of illegal excavation of ancient tombs. Whoever illegally excavates ancient cultural sites or tombs that have been designated as national key cultural relics protection units or provincial-level cultural relics protection units shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years, life imprisonment or death. and a fine or confiscation of property. The tomb robbed by Zhao is located in the Fenghao Ruins Protection Area, which is a national key cultural relics protection unit.

in accordance with the current legislation. First of all, you can't rob the tomb in the yard casually, if you accidentally dig up the cultural relics, not only can you not hide them privately, but you must also protect the site and report it in time. In other words, you do not have the right to get rich, but you have the obligation to protect.

Of course, the current law is one thing, and reason is another. People rely on simple common sense to think that whoever digs is whom, and if it is dug in their own yard or in their own contracted land, this is especially true of it. This involves a distinction between the two concepts, with the general public regarding ancient artifacts as "treasures" or even as "windfalls", which has been fueled by the increasingly hot auction market and treasure appreciation programs in recent years.

But it should also be made clear that the value of an artifact does not equate with its price. In the eyes of archaeologists, cultural relics are a medium that can be used to understand the material and spiritual world of ancient people, and this wealth should belong to the common ownership of mankind. So even artifacts in private collections, because of their historical, artistic and scientific value, are equally protected by law.

Why aren't private individuals allowed to dig casually?

First of all, the operation is not standardized, and it is easy to cause damage to cultural relics, and secondly, the process of cultural relics excavation itself is valuable. Where an object was dug up and what objects are next to it all help archaeologists determine its significance. Once the site is destroyed, the damage is irreversible.

Relatively speaking, foreign archaeological excavations are relatively open, and private funds can also be used for archaeology.

However, it is really impossible to say which of these things is good or bad, our country's one-size-fits-all law is against common sense, and it is normal for some people to be unconvinced.

The current practice of protecting heritage is not without review.

A search of recent news about the discovery of cultural relics by the private sector shows that the punishment for theft is severe, but the reward for those who turn it in is meager. In the law, there is only a provision for "appropriate rewards", and there is no clear standard, and each region sets its own standard. For example, in 2014, a small group in Shaanzhou found a Warring States bronze sword, and only got a bonus of 500 yuan after taking the initiative to hand it in. It is difficult for those who turn it in, and netizens also complain about it, and this kind of incentive measure can be said to have no encouraging effect on those who come after it, and even hit people's public goodness.

The fact that the village where the farmers lived in Shaanzhou was included in the site protection zone from the beginning is itself a reminder that there are likely to be "treasures" under their yards. Villagers have the obligation to protect cultural relics, but there is no appropriate reward for protecting cultural relics and handing them over, which is requiring everyone to be a saint. And such excessively high moral standards are often meaningless. Cracking down on the theft and smuggling of cultural relics and appropriately raising the standard of rewards are both indispensable for the protection of cultural relics.

Foreign policies are likely to cause devastating and irreversible damage to antique cultural toys, and they may not be good.

Zhang Tianyuan heard Lancelot say that there was a person in Britain who bought an ancient house, and it stands to reason that this castle can be regarded as an ancient building, and it has certain historical value and research value, but this person heard that there was a treasure buried under the castle, so he excavated it privately, and as a result, the foundation was damaged, causing the castle to collapse, and he was also buried under the castle.

Another American also encountered the same situation, but he did not damage the foundation, he found that there was an ancient tomb under his house, suspected to be an Indian tomb, but he could not enter, so he got some explosives and blew it up, resulting in irreversible damage to the ancient tomb, even if he wanted to repair it, it was impossible to repair it.

"Boss Zhang?" Boss Tang saw that Zhang Tianyuan was holding a three-color lady in his hand and was motionless there, and thought something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked.

"What's wrong, Boss Tang?"

"Are you watching?" asked Boss Tang.

"Of course, otherwise what do you think I'm doing, I'm thinking, Tang Sancai I also saw it in the museum, I want to compare it with the image in my head, don't disturb ......"

"Okay, that's natural, that's natural!" Boss Tang nodded awkwardly.

Regardless of whether Zhang Tianyuan's words are true or not, Boss Tang always behaves very cooperatively, which makes Zhang Tianyuan very comfortable, doing business, just be kind, we won't mess with you, right?

The Tang Sancai female figurines brought by Boss Tang should be a group, there are nine in total, basically they are fourteen or fifteen centimeters high, the female figurines have long skirts on the ground, the color is dark green with yellow spots and white spots, the posture is beautiful, and the face is peaceful and kind.

The other party said that this is Tang Sancai, of course, looking at the face and demeanor is in line with the image of the ladies of the Tang Dynasty, and it feels like it has an antique charm. If it was really Tang Sancai in the Tang Dynasty, it would be unearthed, and that thing would cost tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and Zhang Tianyuan would not be unable to afford it, but it would have to be considered.

According to Zhang Tianyuan's knowledge, this Tang Sancai absorbed the characteristics of Chinese painting, sculpture and other arts and crafts, and adopted decorative patterns in the form of stacking and pasting, carving, etc., with rough and powerful lines. Tang Sancai in the mutual reflection of colors, showing a magnificent artistic charm.

However, Tang Sancai is not a practical pottery, it is generally used as a burial vessel, because its fetal quality is brittle, the waterproof performance is poor, and the practicality is far less than the celadon and white porcelain that have appeared at that time.

Tang Sancai female figurines are common in the artifacts unearthed from Tang tombs, and women in the Tang Dynasty are mainly skirts, shirts, jackets, posts, etc., with different status and different wear. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the short shirt with narrow sleeves changed to a loose style of skirt and long shirt in the Tang Dynasty, and it became more and more fat after the Middle Tang Dynasty. Women in the Tang Dynasty also liked to wear Hu clothes, wear Hu hats, and take men's clothes and arms as beauty, which was originally more common among princesses and palace maids in the palace.

Women in the Tang Dynasty are more "open", in order to show the beauty of the figure, there will be more exposed skin, people who have watched some Tang Dynasty movies should be more aware of this, such as the TV series played by Fan Ye, but unfortunately the chest was cut off later, but the movie "Golden Armor" did not do that, it can be seen that the court women of the Tang Dynasty are really quite bold, and their personalities are also free.
