Xiaoxuan took a cigarette from me, lit one, and turned to look at the night scene outside the car window in a daze.
After I got back, I went straight to the boss's room and showed the silver coins to the boss.
He stared at the light bulb for a long time, frowned and said: "Strange... I have never seen a silver coin from which dynasty this is."
He even said he had never seen his head before!
Things are rare and valuable, and I immediately realized the importance of this thing.
People in our field all have a problem. If they encounter something they don’t recognize, they often stay up at night trying to figure out what it is.
I took them all out, put them on the table and counted them. I grabbed twenty-two of these silver coins in total.
After making a cup of strong tea, under the light, my head and I began to study this thing seriously.
He took a sip and said, "This is a handmade silver coin. It must be older than the Ming and Qing dynasties. We can rule out the Ming and Qing dynasties."
I nodded in agreement.
The silver coins of the Qing Dynasty were all machine-made coins, and the pressure can be seen on the coin body and side channels, and ours must have been handmade in the past.
I murmured: "Bangtou, flowers and poplar trees... In which dynasty was this pattern popular? What is its significance? And when you look at this coin inscription, I always feel that it does not look like the style of the Central Plains area, but like a minority
Famous."
"minority...."
His head and eyes lit up, as if something suddenly occurred to him, and he asked me to get the map quickly.
After I brought it, I immediately put the head on the table.
He pointed and said: "We are here now, where are we?"
"Kangding." I said.
He moved his head and fingers half a centimeter to the left and asked, "Where is this?"
I looked at the coordinates on the map and answered doubtfully: "Chongzhou City."
"That's right."
"During the late Tang and early Song Dynasties, there was a country established by ethnic minorities here in Chongzhou called Shatuo Kingdom. Some people also called it Chongzhou Shatuo Kingdom."
I was confused.
I really don’t know this, I’ve never heard of it at all.
He took a deep breath of cigarette and said: "I also noticed it accidentally when I was studying Xiwu'er before. Unexpectedly, we have the opportunity to encounter the cultural relics of Shatuo Kingdom."
I didn’t understand this until I explained it. I guess many local friends in Sichuan don’t know it either.
This kind of silver coin is not a currency in circulation, it should be a "reward coin".
It is similar to the silver Taiping Tongbao Palace coins and the silver Chongning Yuanbao from the same period in the Northern Song Dynasty.
The characters on the front are in ancient Turkic script, which, like Xixia script, is already a dead script.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, a Shatuo army was stationed in Jiguan Mountain, which is located in Gou's hometown of Chongzhou City today.
After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, a leader of the Shatuo tribe proclaimed himself king and established the Shatuo Kingdom in Chongzhou. Later, this country suddenly disappeared. I don’t know what happened.
To start with, the most famous thing about Shatuo Kingdom in Chongzhou is the treasure-hiding poem that has been circulated.
"Seven steps up, seven steps down, seven or seven steps to pick up gold and silver."
This is true, believe me, it's not a joke.
The treasure-hiding poem is not groundless. If you have a friend who wants to make a fortune, go find it.
Just like Zhang Xianzhong's treasure poem of that year.
"Shilong vs. Shihu, there are tens of thousands of gold and silver. If anyone finds out, he will buy Chengdu Mansion."
This poem has been passed down for more than two hundred years. Not many people believe it, not even experts, but a small number of people do.
Let me tell you, this small group of people have made so much money that their children no longer have to work in this life.
Nowadays, there are several Chinese box coins on the market, including gold coins of the Palace of the West and silver coins of the Palace of the West, all sold by this group of people. The current price of each coin is more than two million.
I guess they must still have some leftover.
Later, the archaeological team dug out a giant stone dragon deep in the bamboo forest on the mountain in Shuangjiang Village. Another three hundred meters away, they dug out a giant stone tiger, which was more than ten meters long and weighed several tons. If conditions permit,
Go check it out, it’s very domineering.
The stone dragon and stone tiger looked at each other, and the area between them was the river mouth at the foot of the mountain!
Tens of thousands of cultural relics sank under the sand at the bottom of the river mouth!
Including various gold coins for the King of the West! Large silver ingots! Gold seals and more!
Therefore, sometimes legends are not just legends, they can also bring you endless wealth.
