Introduction
China has a history of five thousand years, which makes our country's culture unique in the world, and its cultural heritage is also shining. There are many cultures that have been handed down to this day, such as the four famous inventions and various poems, which show the wisdom and thoughts of the ancients to the world. But in addition to these, there are many objects that have been handed down for future generations to explore. These objects have a unified name, that is, antiques. And the Jianbao program came into being. What I want to introduce today is the story of a treasure-hunting program on an antique.

as we all know, no matter from its manufacturing process or style materials, it is possible to infer basic information such as its use and the year it is in. Antiques can be handed down in many ways, such as rediscovering the light of day from funerary objects, for example, being handed down from generation to generation by one's ancestors as family heirlooms. Some treasure antiques, others don't care much about them, and they regard them as necessities in daily life.
What I want to introduce today is an antique knife, but it has always been used to cut meat. At the beginning of the story, a girl from Tibet brought her own knife to cut meat to the treasure show. The girl said that this knife has been handed down in her family for several generations, and it is precisely because it has existed for several generations that such a thing has not attracted much attention from her family.
This knife has been passed down to my mother's generation now, but its function at home is still to cut meat. When you have visitors at home, you can show this knife to the guests while cutting meat. Once a guest came to the door and lamented that the knife looked extraordinary, and told the girl's family to keep it well.
Although this knife has such a simple purpose of cutting meat, its appearance is still exquisite. Otherwise, the girl wouldn't always remember the guests' words and think it's not nonsense, and she deliberately used it for identification with the idea that this knife might be an antique.
The treasure expert was very surprised when he picked up the knife. At first glance, he thought it was not an ordinary product. On the surface, the knife looks very gorgeous, and the scabbard and even the blade body are very delicate, so you can't see that it has been used to cut meat for generations. The pattern on the knife is very delicate. Besides the gorgeous pattern, it is also inlaid with an oversized red coral, which is very rare in this antique field, so its value is self-evident.
And this Mongolian knife is equipped with a pair of ivory chopsticks and a lighter, which is a very recognizable Mongolian nomadic style. Knife is very practical. For example, this knife can be directly used as a lighter. As long as it is put with tinder inside, once it rubs against the stone, it can lead to sparks, which can lead to a successful fire.
after careful appraisal, experts from Jianbao confirmed that this Dao was made in the Qing Dynasty, and because of its craftsmanship, it can be concluded that it was an object given to Mongolian ministers by the royal family at that time. After the comprehensive analysis, the expert's hand trembled a little. He thought that this knife could reach the value of 1.2 million yuan after considering the production process, historical value and its practicality, which was really a pleasant surprise.
I didn't expect to get such an unexpected appraisal just with the mentality of trying, which made the girl very happy. Now I know not only the cultural origin behind the Dao that has been handed down in my family for several generations, but also the true value of the Dao. The girl repeatedly said that it was like a dream, and told the audience that she planned to go home, so she changed a meat cleaver with her mother and collected this antique knife well. Hearing this, the audience couldn't stop laughing.
Conclusion:
In fact, antiques have no practical significance to most ordinary people. Except for a few people who like to collect antiques, more undiscovered antiques are used as daily necessities like this Mongolian knife, which is actually not dusty, because they have really brought some of their uses to the extreme.
once again, we can't help feeling the wisdom of the ancients. While maintaining the exquisite appearance, we also designed the purpose of the object to an extraordinary degree, which makes people gasp in admiration. We don't demand that every antique has its own ownership, but we future generations should cherish them with a sentimental heart, which is the glorious time we have existed.
