Life is always inseparable from gains and losses. On the one hand, it is always difficult for us to judge whether it is gained or lost. Just like a farmer in Henan once dug up a coffin while building a house, because he was covered in blood, he was unlucky and lit it. Later, experts came to study, feeling that he burned 500 million. Why?

Although the funeral customs of each dynasty are different, coffins are definitely indispensable. Moreover, in every dynasty, coffins have unique art because of different production techniques, and their sizes, shapes and materials are different. Moreover, the decoration and treatment of people of different classes in the coffin will be very different. In the past, in the process of archaeology, we used observation as the main clue to excavate, and so did the funerary objects in the coffin.

Our country has always believed in the legend of reincarnation in ancient times, so they will put a lot of funerary objects after death, which means they can go to another world and maintain their rich and noble social status. However, there is a folk saying that "ten tombs are empty", because most of the funerary objects in the tombs have not been taken to the underworld, but have entered the pockets of grave robbers. These thieves who rob graves have become a popular profession.

Nowadays, people have always had a joke that archaeologists are like grave robbers, but in fact they are completely different. Grave robbers rudely destroyed the whole tomb, while experts rescued them with a protective attitude and revealed their true colors. Although we have excavated many ancient tombs so far, many cultural relics and experts are afraid to move.

20 15 an old man in Henan is going to build a new house for his son, because his son is getting married, which is a big event. In a remote local village, the old man invited many young people to help build the foundation of his home. Well, it was a double happiness, but on such a good day, the construction team found a strange thing. They dug up a coffin deep in this stratum, which was bright red and even lit.

In addition, there is a bronze mirror directly above the coffin. This scared the villagers at the scene. Not only have they never seen such a coffin, but they have never seen such a scene and scene. Because the old people are not well educated and superstitious, they think it is extremely ominous to dig out the coffin on such a big day. He was worried that the unlucky coffin would bring bad luck to his family, so he set fire without hesitation.

Although the coffin doesn't exist, this strange thing, like the wind, spreads quickly. Not long after, some archaeologists also knew this strange thing, and they immediately sent commissioners to this village in Henan for field investigation and investigation. Through the findings of these archaeologists, it is proved that this red coffin actually belongs to the Qing Dynasty. At that time, an official of the late Qing Dynasty was buried here. They continued to dig from the bottom of the coffin and found a big cemetery.

Through other funerary objects excavated in the cemetery, experts can basically confirm that this official has a high status, because each funerary object was priceless at that time. But the most regrettable thing is that the most precious thing in the whole tomb no longer exists, and that is the unlucky coffin that was burned. According to experts' estimation, the cultural relics in that coffin are worth at least 500 million yuan.

Many people feel sorry for the old man and say that he lost a lot of money on impulse. However, is this really a loss? For the old man, he can't tolerate the existence of this unlucky coffin, because he thinks it will bring misfortune to his family, destroy the coffin, eliminate his fear of unknown disasters, and reassure his life. Isn't this a harvest? Therefore, things in the world are always difficult to distinguish between gains and losses.
