Who knows what 500 yuan with a banner means? Every time I see someone digging for treasure, then someone says this sentence.

Issues related to cultural relics management and cultural relics awards.

20 14,10 In June, Li Lei, a man from Danfeng County, Shaanxi Province, found that Gu Jian, a bronze ware of the Warring States Period, voluntarily handed it in at work, and the county cultural relics department awarded him an honorary certificate and a 500 yuan prize. This incident once caused a heated discussion on the Internet, arguing that there were too few rewards for precious cultural relics, which was also the source of 500 extra banners teased by netizens.

In fact, Article 12 of the Cultural Relics Law stipulates that the state shall give moral encouragement or material rewards to units or individuals who have the following deeds:

(four) the discovery of cultural relics is reported or handed in in time, so that cultural relics can be protected.

However, there is no national legal document on the standard of reward, so the amount of reward for handing in cultural relics is generally determined by local governments according to the actual situation. For example, in Shaanxi province, according to different standards, the per capita disposable monthly income of urban residents in the previous year was 1 to 10 times, so the statement of "500 yuan+banner" is unreasonable.

Extended data:

Cultural relics were not purchased at the valuation.

Article 5 of the Cultural Relics Law stipulates that "all cultural relics left behind in the underground, internal waters and territorial waters of the people of China belong to the state." .

Therefore, the discovery of cultural relics does not mean that cultural relics belong to the discoverer. Secondly, the state rewards the cultural relics handed in, rather than buying them. In other words, "500 pieces" is a reward for the spirit of handing in cultural relics, rather than using this "500 pieces" to buy cultural relics. It is a reward for law-abiding behavior, rather than recognition of the value of cultural relics.
