As we all know, China is one of the four ancient civilizations. In the course of thousands of years of historical development, the Chinese nation has very rich cultural achievements and profound cultural heritage. For example, a large number of ancient buildings and cultural relics that people can see today are important cultural achievements of China. Although many cultural relics have been discovered and unearthed in China, this is only the tip of the iceberg. In fact, many cultural relics were lost abroad in the war. Many foreign collectors or museums can see China's cultural relics.

Treasure found in Indonesia's seabed

In addition to the China treasures lost abroad because of the war, there is another way to make a large number of treasures that China did not find before be lost abroad. This road is related to an organization, which is a treasure hunt company. Many treasure hunting companies have been set up abroad, and there are many explorers in the companies. Their task and purpose is to search for treasures all over the world every day and then make money by trading.

There is a beautiful island around Indonesia. As the saying goes, people on the island live by fishing in the sea every day. Just in the 1990s, some fishermen on the island went fishing as usual, and one fisherman "came back with full load" after going out to sea, which once caused a sensation. This incident caused a sensation, not because he "came back with a full load" instead of fish, but a lot of gold and silver jewelry. When it was first reported, it caused a great sensation, especially in the world of archaeology. Out of curiosity, some explorers organized teams to rush to the island to ask and search.

There are as many as 70,000 treasures, which are cultural relics of the Tang Dynasty in China.

Among these explorers, there is a German explorer named Vodafa, who was also the first person to explore after the incident was reported. This man's exploration ability has to be said to be first-class. After he came to this island in Indonesia, he searched all the treasures in the waters around the island by himself. It turned out that a lot of treasures came from an ancient sunken ship at the bottom of the sea, so it was easy to be found by Vodafa. After discovering the ship, Vodafa returned to look for it.

With so many treasures, many jobs will not be easy. It is said that the salvage work at that time lasted for a whole year. After the completion, the salvage personnel sorted out and counted these treasures. After statistics, the number of these treasures surprised people, even made archaeologists and historians all over the world sit still, because the number of these treasures reached 70 thousand. Before the salvage, people only knew that the number of cultural relics was huge, but they didn't expect it to be so huge, so this one.

After studying and analyzing these treasures, archaeologists found that these cultural relics are all from China, and they are of great value. It was probably in the first half of the 9th century, during the Tang Dynasty in China. As we all know, the culture of the Tang Dynasty was the peak of China's cultural development, and many cultural relics were also produced in this era. Because the Tang Dynasty had cultural exchanges with many countries in the world, it was normal for a ship loaded with a lot of treasures to have an accident at sea. According to the appraisal, this ship is normal.

China wants to buy it back, and the asking price is 350 million.

China heard the news, and many museums sent experts to negotiate, hoping to get back these cultural relics that originally belonged to China, but they didn't buy them, and they also gave their own attitude, that is, they wanted to get them back, but they wanted to buy them with money. This requirement has also been understood by our country. After all, foreigners put interests first, and they won't do anything without interests, so many museums in China have expressed their willingness to pay. For example, Beijing Museum and Hunan Museum. But surprisingly, the other party took this opportunity to even speak to the lion. They said they would buy it all at a price of 350 million yuan.

China didn't understand such a huge price, but the other party said that not all the money was theirs, and part of it would be shared with the Indonesian government. After all, these cultural relics were excavated in Indonesian waters, so it must be this price. You can't sell it below this price, and China is embarrassed. In the end, the negotiations between the two sides failed, and China failed to buy back these cultural relics successfully, and the other side began public auction. In the end, these cultural relics were bought by a wealthy Singaporean in 2005 for 240 million yuan, but China missed them. Many historians say that this is also a very lucky thing, because most of Singapore is Chinese, and it can be regarded as a Chinese cultural circle.

These cultural relics have important historical significance and value. They are not only of great economic value, but also of great significance to the study of the history of China, because it was found in later studies that although this ship was an Arabian sailing boat, it was full of exquisite porcelain and some handicrafts from the Tang Dynasty in China, only because it encountered a huge black reef on the way back, which led to the sailing boat hitting the rocks and sinking. It has been more than 1000 years now. Therefore, these cultural relics are of great help to the study of China's Tang culture, especially the Maritime Silk Road. Unfortunately, these cultural relics failed to return to the embrace of the motherland, because the other lion opened his mouth and demanded a sky-high price of 350 million yuan. It is a pity and very uncomfortable. After all, these cultural relics originally belonged to China.

Many netizens also said that this incident should be regarded as a lesson, because China's national strength was not very strong at that time, and those small countries were naturally not afraid of China. Imagine that if China had today's great strength and international influence, I'm afraid they would take the initiative to return these cultural relics to their original owners. Therefore, our country's top priority now is to develop as much as possible, and only when it is strong will it not be despised by others. And China has been struggling on this road, never giving up. I believe that one day in the future, China will stand on the top of the world. I wonder what you think about this?
