Chapter 133

【Material: Black-quality white-patterned jade from Dushan, Nanyang】

【Era: Second Year of Zhiyuan (1265)】

【Specifications: The vessel body is oval, 70 cm high, 135-182 cm in diameter, maximum circumference 493 cm, chamber depth 55 cm, weighing approximately 3500 kg】

【During the Yuan Dynasty, to demonstrate national strength, Kublai Khan gathered all the skilled craftsmen to carve this piece of jade, not allowing them to leave their names on it. The production technique was also strictly guarded and not allowed to be spread, making it impossible to replicate, which became one of the reasons for its preciousness...】

Chen Feng also saw the appearance of the stone basin at this time and hurriedly exclaimed: "Such a big stone, this must be a cultural relic!"

Other archaeological staff also gathered around one after another.

They saw more than a dozen animal patterns carved on the stone basin, tumbling out from the stormy sea, and also appearing to be walking together, heading to the Dragon Palace to defeat the Dragon King.

The whole pattern was like a disguised map of ten thousand nations paying homage.

But where had they seen this thing?

Even if Qin Lao and the others came, they wouldn't be able to recognize it.

Because from ancient times to the present, this is the only one!

And it was made from an extra-large piece of jade.

It could be said that its value is completely worthy of being a national treasure!

Now the giant object had actually been dug up by Fang Yang.

At this moment, his mood was also incomparably shocked!

This is a national-level cultural relic.

The only one in China's thousands of years of history.

Although he had dug up other things unearthed for the first time before, they weren't the only ones.

Calculating it this way, its value is self-evident.

Thinking back to the Yuan Dynasty beer bottle just dug up, and now a Yuan Dynasty wine urn.

Could there be other Yuan Dynasty cultural relics underneath?

This one giant wine urn was already shocking enough; if another heavy item came along, I'm afraid Fang Yang himself wouldn't be able to take it.

Everyone present was shocked by this huge stone basin.

The farm owner blankly said: "Taking this thing back to use as a pig basin seems pretty good~~"

Fang Yang smiled: "First of all, you have to be able to move it! Do you know how heavy this thing is?"

"That's true, it doesn't look light!"

Chen Feng studied it for a while and exclaimed: "It really is a cultural relic, but I don't know its specific era and value. Fang Yang, do you know?"

"I know a little!"

"Hey, I guessed it. Can you tell me what it is?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Fang Yang curiously, because they also wanted to know.

Fang Yang nodded: "I've read historical records before. The name of this thing should be Dushan Jade Sea. It's a cultural relic from the Yuan Dynasty, and it's made entirely of Dushan jade!"

Hiss~~

"Yuan Dynasty? Jade? Antique!" The worker behind couldn't help but exclaim.

Chen Feng smiled when he heard Fang Yang's answer: "Wait a moment, I'll make a call to get someone to come and get it out of there."

After the call, he continued to look at Fang Yang: "Then what? What exactly is it used for?"

Fang Yang pretended to ponder for a while and thought: "This should be a wine urn!"

"Wine urn?"

"Yes! Back then, Kublai Khan fought all the way from East Asia to Central Asia, pushing straight into the heart of Europe. After the Yuan Dynasty was established, Yuan Shizu Kublai Khan eagerly wanted to show the world the strength of his dynasty."

"His intention in creating this thing was a bit like when Huo Qubing poured the fine wine bestowed by Emperor Wu of Han into the canal, intending for the soldiers who followed him in battle to all drink fine wine together. So this is not just a reward, but a symbol of victory!"

Several people present listened with relish, as if they were listening to a history lesson.

Fang Yang continued: "But Kublai Khan's approach was more exaggerated. He wanted to create a unique large wine urn in the world, fill it with fine wine, and put gold cups next to it, so that everyone passing by could drink fine wine."

"Because the Mongols' carving skills weren't good enough, he found a huge piece of Dushan jade and plundered a large number of craftsmen to carve this wine urn. It took 5 years in history to complete it. It can be considered a unique cultural relic in the world!"

——【Such a big one is actually made of jade? Then how big must the original material have been?】

——【This is absolutely a first-class cultural relic. Such a large piece of jade, and it's unique. No need to think about it, it's going to explode again soon.】

——【I have to say, Fang Yang is the gospel of the archaeological world. He brought out a big treasure as soon as he came up today.】

——【I offer 10 billion, will you sell it? If not, I'll add more. If you sell it, pretend I didn't say anything.】

After listening to Fang Yang's explanation, Chen Feng was shocked!

"This... according to what you said, this is highly likely to be a national-level cultural relic!"

When he said this, his mouth was trembling a bit.

A national-level cultural relic, that's something archaeological experts dream of!

Today, it was actually placed in front of him.

And he was also a witness to the unearthing of a national treasure!

This sense of honor made the hair on his body stand up.

He was incomparably excited.

Including the several archaeological team members behind, they were all looking at the Dushan Jade Sea in front of them in shock.

This scene today is enough for them to brag about for a lifetime.

Even Captain Feng and the others nearby were so shocked they couldn't say a word.

The farm owner couldn't help but exclaim: "Such a big piece of jade, how much money must it be worth? Why would it appear here? If it were me, I'd have to put it at home and worship it like an ancestor!"

Fang Yang smiled when he thought about the system introduction saying it had been used as a pickle jar for 300 years: "Not everyone recognizes it! Didn't you plan to take it back to use as a pig feed basin today!"

"Ah... this..."

Chen Feng couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Such a national treasure, how could it be used as a pig feed basin!"

As a result, Fang Yang laughed instead: "To tell you the truth, it was really used as a pickle jar by someone before?"

"Ah?" Everyone present was stunned. Such a precious thing used as a pickle jar?

Fang Yang pondered simply: "After the Ming Dynasty overthrew the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang established the capital in Nanjing. Later, after Zhu Di took the throne, he moved the capital to Beijing. This caused this great treasure in the Liao-Jin gardens to be forgotten for hundreds of years."

"It wasn't until a big fire in the Guanghan Hall later that this place was even more ignored. As time passed, it changed hands and ended up in a place called True Martial Daoist Temple. Those Daoist priests didn't recognize this thing at all and thought it was just a stone, perfect for pickling vegetables!"

"Then it was used as a pickle jar for 300 years, so later there was an extra doggerel poem: 'The True Martial Daoist didn't recognize the treasure, mixed it as a vegetable jar for dozens of springs, I am originally Dushan jade from Nanyang, a dignified ancestor from the Ming world!'"

【Popularity】+1+1+1+1....

——【Can pickles pickled in this thing not be delicious!!】

——【So that's how old altar sauerkraut came to be?】

——【I just want to know, is there still a pickle smell inside now?】

——【It should change its name to Dushan Big Sauerkraut Jar.】

——【Worthy of being a Daoist priest, money is like dirt!】

After hearing this secret, everyone felt it was incredible.

Such a big treasure was actually used as a pickle jar!

At this moment, they couldn't help but wonder if the pickles pickled in this thing were better.

It was already almost 12 o'clock noon.

Fang Yang felt hungry, so he took the cameraman and left to eat.

And the police and Chen Feng didn't leave, protecting the cultural relic on site, waiting for the archaeological team to arrive to hoist the national treasure out of the mud pit.

During the lunch break, the news of Fang Yang digging up a national treasure spread on the internet.

At this very moment.

In the curator's office of the Palace Museum.

"Curator! Curator He! Look at this video quickly!"

The curator's assistant ran over holding a phone, running to the curator.

"Curator, look, it's spreading like crazy on the internet right now. Everyone is saying Fang Yang dug up a national-level cultural relic."
