The largest diamond found in China, Jinji Diamond, was discovered by Luo Dianbang, a villager in Lizhuang Town, Tancheng County, Shandong Province, at 1937. Later, it was plundered by traitors who were consultants of the Japanese invaders in Linyi County. After several twists and turns, his whereabouts are still unknown.

The largest diamond in China is called "Golden Rooster Diamond", weighing nearly 300 carats. 1948, People's Pictorial reported: "1in the autumn of 937, farmers in Tancheng County worked in Jinjiling and found that Jinjiling diamonds weighed 28 1.25 carats, which were later taken away by the Japanese invaders." This is the most authoritative official report on Golden Rooster Diamond. The Records of Tancheng County compiled by the local government in 200 1 year recorded more clearly: "(Golden Rooster Diamond) was found in Jinjiling, Lizhuang Town in the autumn of 1937, weighing 28 1.25 carats, which is the highest diamond in China and almost the second-ranked' Changlin Diamond'.

So, how much is the "Golden Rooster Diamond" worth? There is no exact statement, but there is no market for it. We can estimate the value of repairing him by comparison. It is reported that the second diamond in China is called "Chang Lin Diamond", which is the largest existing diamond in China, weighing 158.786 carats, with an estimated value of over 4 billion. Then, a golden rooster diamond weighing 28 1.25 carats, if released now, will be worth at least 10 billion.

Jinji Diamond was discovered in Lizhuang Town, Tancheng County, Shandong Province on 1937. Farmer Luo Dianbang accidentally got this diamond while working underground. He was filled with joy and thought he had made a windfall, but it was a tragedy.

Luo Dianbang's hometown is not big, and the news of diamonds naturally leaked out. The news that diamonds fell from the sky soon spread to Zhu Xipin, the head of the township. When Zhu Xipin learned about it, he wanted to keep the diamond for himself.

So Zhu Xipin found the Luodian gang and told them that a bandit knew about the diamond and wanted to kill him and take it away. In order to protect him, he hoped that he would hand over the diamonds, and with some threats and inducements, he could easily cheat them away.

Shortly after the diamond was cheated, Zhang Yingjie, the local police chief, knew about it. Zhang Yingjie was even more cruel. He directly threatened Zhu Xipin and took the diamonds.

After getting the diamond, Zhang Yingjie took out the diamond and wanted it to be his own, so he generously informed Luo Dianbang to go to the police station to pull 800 Jin of wheat to settle the matter.

Luo Dianbang find Zhang Yingjie reason, the result can be imagined. Not only that, Luo Dianbang was also kicked out. Soon he was ill in bed. Neighbors in the village are also enthusiastic people, waving flags and shouting for the Luodian gang, thinking that this diamond, not to mention 800 kilograms of wheat, can't be exchanged for 80000 kilograms.

Luo Dianbang, who was seriously ill, was beaten by Zhang Yingjie and died in a rage.

1938 In the spring, the war swept this land, and history kept repeating itself. This diamond was snatched from Zhang Yingjie by a local Japanese consultant.

According to folklore, after the Japanese got the diamond, there was an incident of fighting for the Golden Rooster diamond among the Japanese high-level. This group of people killed each other in the dark. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the whereabouts of diamonds were unknown.

It is said that after Tadao Kawamoto obtained this diamond, the top Japanese invaders made an uproar over the Golden Rooster Diamond.

1948, the fourth issue of People's Pictorial reported as follows: "1In the autumn of 937, farmers in Tancheng County worked in Jinjiling and found that Jinjiling diamonds weighed 28 1.25 carats and were taken away by the Japanese invaders."

There are many discussions about the whereabouts of Jinji diamond in the society and academia, but it has been inconclusive for more than 80 years and has gradually become a historical mystery. Over the years, there have been six kinds of speculations about the whereabouts of Jinji diamond: first, it was lost in the war; Second, it was collected by China folk; Third, living in a country in the Asia-Pacific region; Fourth, with the Japanese ship "Apomaru" sinking into the ocean; Fifth, he was taken to Japan by Japanese invaders and lived among the Japanese; Sixth, it was acquired by the Japanese emperor and hidden in the Japanese palace.
