Henan has always been the core area of the Central Plains, with a glorious history of thousands of years. Historically, Henan was the seat of many dynasties, such as Anyang, Luoyang and Kaifeng in Henan, which were once the capitals of some dynasties. It can be said that some major events in Henan run through the whole history of Chinese civilization.

It is precisely because of this situation that major cultural relics will be unearthed from time to time in Henan, and of course many cultural relics will be scattered among the people. Today, this cultural relic is a precious golden bowl that came out of the palace in the late Qing Dynasty.

1990 a farmer went to the cultural relics department of Henan province with cultural relics and wanted to ask an expert to identify the authenticity and age. This farmer is a typical Henan farmer. Experts are wondering whether the farmer dug up any ancient cultural relics in the field when he was doing farm work, but they saw the farmer carefully taking out a golden bowl from his bag.

The expert took the golden bowl and asked about its origin. The farmer said that the bowl was handed down from his ancestors, but he didn't know which generation it was. When it reached his hand, it did not explain the source and authenticity. That's why he came to identify it.

After careful appraisal, experts read some documents and combined with the words "Xuantong Emperor System" at the bottom of the bowl, they determined that this golden bowl was made in Xuan Tong in the late Qing Dynasty and was the exclusive product used by Puyi.

By combing the ancestors of this farmer, it is confirmed that the ancestors of this farmer have been farmers for generations, and their family background is nothing special, which makes experts doubt that this bowl of Puyi's royal bowl will eventually fall into the home of an old farmer in Henan.

However, considering the special situation in the late Qing Dynasty, the experts were relieved. In that stormy and chaotic era, even the tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi could be blown up, and a small golden bowl appeared in the palace. What's so strange about it?

At that time, after Puyi abdicated, life was also drifting from place to place, and the residence was moved several times. Sometimes the economy still made ends meet, so I don't know how many valuable things were sold in the palace. At that time, this golden bowl may have been stolen and sold to the people, but it was obtained by the ancestors of farmers.

Although the life of this golden bowl is not particularly long, it also has high value. After the appraisal, experts from the cultural relics department of Henan Province persuaded the farmer to hand this cultural relic over to the state for research and protection, and the farmer could also get a handsome bonus.

It's just that this farmer thinks that this golden bowl has been handed down from generation to generation and is his own family heirloom. He also hopes to pass it on from generation to generation and is unwilling to hand it over to the state.

In the end, the experts failed to convince them, but they still issued corresponding appraisal conclusions for this golden bowl. The expert also told the farmer that according to the provisions of the Cultural Relics Law, this golden bowl belongs to a relatively precious cultural relic 19 1 1 years ago, and cannot be sold in the second-hand market casually. If you want to resell it, you need to sell it in a formal licensed cultural relics institution.
