The Chinese nation has a history of 5,000 years, and our human life is limited. Therefore, when we want to understand that period of history, we can only find clues from the precious cultural relics preserved in the long river of history through the records in the text. Cultural relics are precious, not only because the number of cultural relics is relatively small, but also because of their historical culture and research value. Any cultural relic embodies the social characteristics such as the technical level, aesthetic tendency and economic situation of the society at that time.

From the beginning of modern history to the founding of New China, China has been in a state of chaos. Many cultural relics were stolen under the oppression of foreign powers; Many cultural relics were destroyed in the war. Everything that can be preserved today is extremely precious. In 20 16, the seal of Prince Gong of the Qing Dynasty was auctioned for a sky-high price of 85.24 million Hong Kong dollars, which shows that the market price of cultural relics and antiques is so high that many people even made a fortune by illegally selling cultural relics. However, there are a group of people who are not tempted by money, but always keep a pure heart. Once, a pupil found a jade seal on his way to school, and handed it in and won the 20 yuan Prize. After 45 years, experts came to the door again.

The story happened in an afternoon in September 1968, when Kong Zhongliang, who was only 13 years old, just walked out of school and was on his way home. When he crossed the stream that passed by every day, Kong Zhongliang saw something flashing. After picking it up, he found that it was a beautifully carved stone. This is the first time Kong Zhongliang has seen such a smooth and delicate stone, which is very interesting in the eyes of a primary school student.

At first, Kong Zhongliang only regarded this stone as a toy, and even planned to smooth the words at the bottom of the stone to make the toy more handy. But it was a huge project for Kong Zhongliang, who was only 13 years old at that time, so Kong Zhongliang thought of seeking his father's help, hoping that his father, who was going to the provincial capital in a few days, could find a place to polish the stone more smoothly.

Kong Zhongliang's father used to be a brigade cadre. After seeing this stone, he realized that it might not be a simple "stone", but something similar to an antique cultural relic. The next day, my father asked Kong Zhongliang for leave and took him to the provincial capital to find an expert in the management of cultural relics at that time.

The experts in the museum soon realized that this "stone" was carved from the best Hetian jade. Hetian jade, as the "four famous jade in China", is of high natural value, so this stone should have belonged to a rich family earlier. Then, experts recognized that the stone was engraved with the words "Queen's Seal", from which it can be basically concluded that this stone is an ancient seal.

In order to determine the origin of this seal, experts finally found that there was a record of "the seal of the queen, the button of Jin Hu" in the documents of the Han Dynasty by consulting ancient books. It can be inferred that this seal is the seal of Lv Zhi, the founding queen of the Han Dynasty. This inference is really exciting because it has a history of more than 2000 years. After learning that this "stone" may be a cultural relic, Kong Zhongliang and his son decided to donate this cultural relic to the country. When they left, the father and son only received the travel expenses of 20 yuan given by the museum leaders at that time.

Later, experts searched carefully near the place where the jade seal was found, and finally found the cemetery of Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, one kilometer away. At this point, it can be basically concluded that this stone is the decree of the founding queen Lv Zhi. After that, this jade seal, which has been inherited for 2000 years, went through many twists and turns and finally returned to the present Shaanxi History Museum, becoming the oldest and most valuable cultural relic in the museum.

20 12, 45 years have passed since Kong Zhongliang discovered the imperial seal on his way to school. The staff of the Cultural Relics Foundation once again found Kong Zhongliang, who was already full of white hair, and awarded him a certificate in recognition of his contribution to cultural relics protection.

Although some people have made ill-gotten gains by illegally selling cultural relics, there are always some people who are just and have a sense of justice in their hearts, and they are duty-bound to inherit national culture for the country. Such people deserve our respect and study.
