Speaking of the people with the highest status in ancient times, there is no doubt that they are emperors of all ages. When it comes to the emperor, all the words that come to mind are luxurious, sacred, domineering and mighty. However, it is true that emperors are often regarded as sacred by the people because of their noble status, but in fact they are just ordinary people, just living more luxuriously than ordinary people. Some emperors were even beggars and local ruffians, but only after they became emperors. This kind of background is not in line with a person's aristocratic status, so I specially made up a set of stories to make the people submit from the bottom of their hearts. The most typical examples are Liu Bang, emperor of Han Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang, emperor of Ming Dynasty. They are born to be riffraff and beggars, so what is sacred? They were deified only because they slept on the dragon bed and sat on the dragon chair after becoming emperors, plus the temptation of the emperor and the superstition of the ancients.
"Dragon Bed" appears
But I have to admit that the emperor's life is very luxurious. After all, as the head of a country, he can not be ignored in life. Take the minimum sleep as an example. Their bed is very unusual. The emperor's bed is called "Dragon Bed". The dragon beds or other furniture used by the emperor are all made of superior materials, and the appearance is not ordinary paint, but wrapped in gold paint. In addition, furniture manufacturers also carve exquisite dragon patterns.
But unfortunately, after so many years of war and dynasty changes, the emperor's home was most seriously affected. After all, it belonged to the last dynasty, and the next generation of rulers felt unlucky and ruined these luxurious furniture. Nowadays, few furniture are well preserved. Although these furniture are as precious as gold, silver and jewels, many intruders choose to burn them because the dragon bed is inconvenient to carry, and others can't take them away.
At a cultural relic exhibition in 2007, the dragon bed exhibited by a Fujian man attracted the attention of many collectors. This Fujian native is also a cultural relic collector and likes cultural relics very much. His name is Lin, and he has many assets. He has two famous sports shoes factories in China. With this, he made a lot of money, so many people came to invest in his favorite industry, that is, cultural relics collection.
The collector bought the Dragon Bed for 20 million yuan.
I'm afraid you may not be able to buy such a big and expensive dragon bed even if you have money. How did Lin get this dragon bed? Actually, it's a coincidence. This dragon bed was introduced to her collection by a friend, because Lin, as an antique collector, all his friends around him like antique collection very much. 1993, a friend of Lin told Lin that there was a descendant of the royal family in Shandong, and his family had a dragon bed where the emperor slept. After listening to a friend's introduction, Lin
After seeing the dragon bed, Lin saw a thick layer of dust on the dragon bed, which took a long time. After reading the information, he thought it was made of rosewood, and the carved patterns and dragon patterns on the bed were very beautiful. It is this that makes forest products have the idea of buying. According to the family, he is a descendant of the Qing royal family. These things were smuggled out of the palace by a eunuch. In addition to this dragon bed, there are actually many calligraphy and paintings.
I heard that when Lin bought this dragon bed, there were always * * * 10 people at home. Some people support it, while others oppose it. The main support is that selling it can improve living conditions, and it is impractical to keep it. The opposition said it was ancestral and could not be bought or sold casually. Under the controversy, Lin Kaikou bought this dragon bed with 20 million yuan, and the family finally sold it through negotiation. Then Lin transported the dragon bed back to Putian.
Experts estimate that the "dragon bed" is worth hundreds of millions.
After being transported home, Lin carefully studied this dragon bed with professional tools and techniques. He thought it was made of rosewood, but after careful study, he didn't expect it to be Daphne. Although there is only one word difference, the two can be said to be worlds apart. Daphne was very precious in ancient times. Many furniture of princes and nobles belonged to Daphne, while sandalwood was much lower. Moreover, in the current cultural relics market, it is difficult to see the cultural relics made by Daphne.
Lin looked at the carvings on the bed again and found a more remarkable thing, that is, every pattern carved on the bed is very beautiful, and the pattern is mainly dragon, and the dragon is a symbol of the ancient emperor, which is enough to prove that this bed is the one used by the Qing emperor. After careful screening, it was found that there were always 55 dragons on this dragon bed, and it was impossible for ordinary people to have such noble furniture, which further proved how terrible the luxury of ancient emperors was.
Lin's purchase of the dragon bed soon caused a heated discussion in the collection circle, and many archaeologists also rushed to identify it. After some appraisal, the experts come to the conclusion that this bed has a history of more than 100 years, and the material of the dragon bed is indeed Daphne. These Daphne or Indonesian products are of high quality and have been growing for at least thousands of years. Experts finally estimated that the value of this bed can no longer be measured by money, because there are only these Daphne plants.
Experts persuaded it to be handed over to the state, and collectors demanded at least 500 million yuan.
Man is the creator and the purpose of culture. Gorky
Once this result was published, it caused a sensation in the archaeological community, and those experts were reluctant to part with this dragon bed. Some experts suggested that this dragon bed is a national cultural relic and should be donated to the country, but Lao Lin naturally didn't want to. He said that the country would take it away and give me at least 500 million yuan, but this is just the difficulty he gave the country. After all, as a cultural relic, he won't sell it casually.
However, many experts advised him to donate to the country for free, but Lin did not want to donate. After all, he bought it with money, not by illegal means, and there is no need to donate it to the country. In the face of Lin's attitude, experts naturally have no reluctance.
