When the word "earthquake" is mentioned, people should think of the Tangshan earthquake in the last century and the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008. I have to say that the destructive power brought by the earthquake is so powerful that many people's homes have become ruins in an instant. In fact, before the Tangshan earthquake, earthquakes with low magnitude had occurred in many areas of China. Although these earthquakes did not have great destructive power, they also shocked the people. Among these cities with a sense of earthquake, Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province is one of them.

In order to greatly reduce the losses caused by the earthquake, everyone is very cautious every day. Retired workers in a machinery factory in Yangzhou sold all the family heirlooms. Because he was worried that he wouldn't have time to take care of the heirloom when the earthquake came, he simply sold the porcelain vase called the heirloom and finally made a profit 15 yuan. However, what people didn't expect was that this incident actually made him regret it for life. Later, the bottle was appraised by an expert and won 900 million yuan in the auction. After learning the news, the workers who originally sold porcelain bottles regretted it. The worker who sells porcelain bottles in the name of protecting family heirlooms is Zhu.

Zhu sells heirlooms cheaply.

Zhu's family heirloom is quite old. He used to be an ordinary worker in Yangzhou Light Industry Machinery Factory. After retirement, about 30 years ago, driven by various factors, Zhu sold the porcelain bottle of the heirloom at a low price of 15 yuan. Later, a reporter asked him why he insisted on selling porcelain bottles. Zhu said that he was worried that the earthquake would damage it, so he sold the porcelain bottle to an antique dealer.

It is worth mentioning that this statement is not believed by many people, and even his son Zhu said that his father's statement was flawed. If you are worried about the damage of porcelain bottles, you can give them to the state, not unreliable antique dealers. In fact, Zhu's doubts about his son are very reasonable. After all, this family heirloom has been handed down for six generations, and the whole family knows that this porcelain vase is of great significance and priceless, so they don't believe Zhu's story. According to reports, Zhu usually doesn't take out porcelain bottles easily, and he is even more cautious about porcelain bottles, so everyone is quite critical of his selling heirlooms cheaply.

Zhu regretted identifying this heirloom as a top national treasure.

In fact, the antique dealer who bought Zhu Chuanjiabao couldn't tell the specific value and origin of this porcelain bottle. He just thought that these old objects should be valuable, so he happily completed the transaction with Zhu. This porcelain vase first appeared in a cultural relic exhibition held in Beijing in 1978. As soon as the porcelain bottle came out, it was discovered by the staff of Yangzhou Museum. The knowledgeable museum staff offered 5000 yuan to buy Zhu's heirloom. In fact, antique dealers wanted to lower the price at first, but then the government intervened, so the final transaction price was 5000 yuan.

When the museum staff bought it back, people realized that this heirloom sold by Zhu Yi 15 yuan had such high value. Relevant personnel identified that the porcelain vase was a plum blossom vase with blue glaze and white dragon pattern in Yuan Dynasty. Now it has been included in Yangzhou Museum in Jiangsu Province and has become the treasure of the town hall in the museum. After learning the news, Zhu's intestines were all regretful. He only knew that his family heirloom was valuable, but he didn't expect it to be a top national treasure. And I sold 15 yuan at a low price at first. Now it seems really ridiculous.

This treasure is the largest plum vase with blue glaze and white dragon pattern in Yuan Dynasty in the world, but there are only three pieces in the world. And Zhu, a family heirloom, is well protected. The whole porcelain bottle has no big flaws and is very complete. It can be seen that the value of this porcelain bottle is definitely not simple tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan. Because it is unique in the world, not to mention the great historical significance behind it. Once the porcelain bottle was published, it attracted everyone's love. Some people in Hong Kong bid 500 million yuan, and some people in Japan once bid 350 million yuan, so this auction is a precedent in the world. Even France offered a sky-high price of 900 million yuan, and our museum refused.

Zhu regretted it very much after learning the actual value of this heirloom. After all, I sold 15 yuan, and now someone is willing to pay 900 million for it. But the museum in China will not allow anyone to buy porcelain bottles, because cultural relics bear the history of our country and are of greater value to our country than any country or individual.
