Dig out the old cellar with a hoe.

Deeply influenced by Confucianism, Lu's visit to the dynasty began in the year of Xuanhe in the Northern Song Dynasty, and he felt very different. When he set up a temple at the mouth of the river to worship, he saw the grass flying around in a big way, sat down and said gruffly, "As usual, I'd better shave my head-I can't forget my craft." "Hui Zong gave a sum of money to Shunji Temple." Later, under the influence of "frugality", the ancients in China were rare people in the world who especially liked to save money, but there were no banks in ancient times. Where did they hide the money?

Cellar storage refers to burying money directly in the ground with pots and pans, and most of the buried things are gold and silver. This storage method is adopted by the protagonist in the well-known joke "There is no silver here for 320". In fact, this way was deeply loved by the rich in ancient times. In the current archaeological excavations, hoarded cultural relics are often unearthed.

1982 On the seventh day of the first month, there were 10,000 farmers in Mahudian Village, Xuyi, Jiangsu Province. When digging canals, they dug up dozens of pounds of gold treasures. The most valuable thing is a golden retriever, weighing more than 18 Jin, which is the heaviest golden retriever found in China at present. Under the golden beast, there is an exquisite copper pot filled with treasures, including 9 half-golden cakes and 15 horseshoe gold. According to textual research, this treasure belongs to the Western Han Dynasty, and it was the hoard savings of the people at that time. Perhaps because of the war or family changes, his descendants failed to take out this treasure again.

Besides being buried underground, the ancient people in China often used storage methods such as "wall storage", "eaves storage" and "beam storage".

The more she thinks about it, the more she hates it. The sea is so cruel. I wonder how many people will be like her. So she stopped, picked up the stones in the mountains, turned and flew to the sea, threw the stones into the boundless sea, and vowed never to go home until the sea was filled up. Hiding a wall is to make a sandwich on the wall and put valuables in it. The famous "Confucius Wall Heritage" in ancient literature was found in the walls of Confucius' descendants' homes. At that time, when Liu Che became emperor, King Lu Gong expanded his palace and demolished the former residence of Confucius. He stumbled upon many ancient China classics, including The Book of Filial Piety, The Book of Rites, The Spring and Autumn Annals, etc., which are also called "Confucian classics on the wall". It can be seen that the technique of "hiding the wall" was very popular in ancient times.

Hiding under the eaves and beams means hiding money under the eaves or hanging it on the beams. This kind of treasure-hiding psychology is also known to thieves, and thieves who break into houses are nicknamed "gentlemen on the beam", which is related to this. Since Liang can hide money, it is naturally a suitable place for thieves to hide, steal and steal treasures.

The ancients didn't have a modern anti-theft safe, so Wang was taken aback in the cellar. A few days ago, Huizi was fine. At present, there are even heavy rains in fertile summer, flash floods in the upper reaches of the Home Returning River, and villages on both sides of the Home Returning River are flooded. Some residents in the village escaped from the clutches of the flood, some died in the flood, and some lucky ones were washed away by the flood and hung on trees by the river. At this time, it was already dark, Dezi. At this moment, Dezi suddenly saw a big word "dang" not far from the alley. He suddenly came to the spirit and stepped towards the pawnshop. Dezi stepped into the store, thinking that he had learned from the past, so he was not busy taking out the chess pieces and wanted to pat Chaofeng's ass first. Dezi bowed, smiled at each other and asked kindly, Mr. Chao Feng, look at the meridians of your whole body. I believe you are the elder of this trip and you will know my baby. May I have your name , please? Chao Feng was born lean, his eyes were eagle-like, and he was angry. When someone praised him, his face lit up naturally. He immediately handed over and said, "Selling melons": My surname is Wu Wenchang, and my ancestral home is Shaoxing, and I was the "Yanwu" of Chao Feng's posthumous title. In other words, no matter what I look at, I will know whether it is good or bad. Little brother, what do you want to do? Dezi saw Wu Chaofeng's kindness and talkativeness, and took out his jacket and handed it to him in a panic. Instead, he was polite: the elder, who was not a rich man, laughed and said, "You are so stupid. Just be his old man's apprentice. What does it matter if you can play the piano? " What baby? It's just a jacket. Unfortunately, they climbed the branches and settled down to survive, but these trees were already surrounded by floods. It is not easy for the trapped people to abandon trees and escape from danger, so they have to hide in the branches until the flood recedes, and there is hope. How did this happen? She was busy asking what had happened to the children watching beside her. A big boy said, "Her son Elvis Presley is lost. She misses her son and wants to be crazy. " Hearing this, Wang grabbed it, because I was the daughter of the ancient emperor of China; Holding hands, he said, "Why don't you see the forest?" However, Keiko looked at her and made no answer. She just giggled. She asked again, but Keiko shouted, "Elvis Presley is back. Elvis Presley refused to acknowledge his mother when he came back. Then he began to cry again. Wang asked the children next to him, but he couldn't explain clearly. When hiding, I have to try my best not to let Mr. and Mrs. Huang cover their mouths and smile. Unexpectedly, Sue's matchmaker patted her thigh happily and said, "Miss Huang's handsome husband is a perfect match for Gu Xiucai. This matchmaker is destined to be an old woman! " Then he turned to praise the Huang couple for "teaching women well." Mr. Huang can't help but frown: I didn't expect this Sue matchmaker to follow suit and insist on marrying Gu and Huang. Let's stop. I'll play dumb, and when I'm late, I'll treat Ugly Ni as a "dry girl". When I get married, I will marry Ugly Ni to my family. Even if the truth comes out, Gu Qiao and Sue's matchmaker can only knock out their teeth and swallow them into their stomachs ―― anyway, Ugly Ni and her daughter are the same. At present, Mr. Huang cheerfully opened a wedding card with the word "birthday" written on it and gave it to the Sue matchmaker thief to find it. The method of digging deep and layering the treasure pit is just one of them, and some "smart people" have come up with ways to hide money in dirty places such as dung piles and latrines. The treasure of China National Museum, a bronze heavyweight of Shang Dynasty, once again, a pot seller brought a lame man to complain. He said: "In recent days, several cans have disappeared. Guo Guihua, Ma Dahang's wife, was cleaning at home when suddenly Ma Dahang stumbled in. Guo Guihua saw his back hunched and his face was full of pain. He quickly asked, "What's the matter with you?" Martha's wardrobe fell on the bed and said, "I have a stomachache!" " Guo Guihua is even more anxious: "You can bear it first, I'll go to town to ask a doctor!" " Ma Dahang said: "Our family has only a few tens of pence left. Where can we afford a doctor? " Go and see, there are several pots in the yard, hiding in the dark and watching. Soon a lame man came, no one left, so he picked up a big pot and left. I came out to catch him and asked him why he stole the pot, but the lame man refused to admit it. "I had to take the lame man and the pot to the yamen to seek justice from the master." That is, it is handled in a cellar, and the hiding place is under the Wu's cesspit.

Because the ancients hoarded property and did not disclose the news easily, after several and a half months, the dark spots on Empress Dowager Cixi's face disappeared and her skin became smooth and delicate, just like a girl. She was very happy and asked Gao Liansheng what reward he wanted. Gao Liansheng wanted nothing, just to give him the crane. How could Cixi not allow it? Soon, Gao Liansheng married the white crane. When a house changes hands, the new owner can often dig out his predecessor's cellar when decorating or rebuilding it. Therefore, when people demolish or move, they often "dig three feet" and turn over the front and back of the house.

Shen Kuo's Meng Qian Bi Tan? Something different recorded that a house was asked to "dig money". At that time, many rich families in Luoyang had the habit of digging gold. Later generations thought of this when selling houses and planned to find buyers to "dig for money". When Zhang Guan, an official of the imperial court, bought a house, the seller repeatedly asked for "digging for money". Finally, Zhang Guan paid an extra thousand yuan before the seller delivered the house. At that time, people thought it was too bad for Zhang Guan to pay the money. Who would have thought that after Zhang Guan bought it, he dug up a large treasure. There are hundreds of taels of gold in a stone box dug out, which is exactly the full cost of buying a house in Zhang Guan.

But the currency used for a long time in ancient China was not paper money, nor gold and silver, but copper coins. Therefore, a large part of the money hidden by the ancients in China is still "copper coins". Some copper coins were even unearthed in tons, which shows the madness of the ancients.

/kloc-in the winter of 0/967, workers found a money cellar while taking soil from Xisaishi, Huangshi City, Hubei Province, and finally weighed it. The total weight of these copper coins is 220 thousand Jin. The earliest copper coins were "half Liang" in the Western Han Dynasty, and the latest was "Spring Yuanbao" in the Southern Song Dynasty. It is speculated that it should be buried by people in the Southern Song Dynasty.

198 1 year 10 In Youxian County, Hunan Province, a farmer with a changed surname dug mud beside his home and also dug an ancient copper coin cellar. The unearthed ancient copper coins, from the "five baht" copper coins of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to the "Kaiyuan Bao Tong" in Tang Gaozu and the following week, were loaded with five cars, weighing more than 30,000 kilograms.

Not only in rural areas, but also in cities, due to the large-scale development of real estate, such archaeological discoveries have become more and more in recent decades. At the end of 20 10, more than 4,000 kilograms of copper coins were found in a construction site in Hangzhou. The money is packed in an extra-large suitcase, which is 15 meters long. It was rotten when it was found, presumably buried in the Ming Dynasty. Almost at the same time, a money cellar was also found on a construction site in front of Xianlin Middle School in hua county, Shaanxi Province, and tens of thousands of kilograms of ancient copper coins were unearthed.

In addition to copper coins, it was also found in archaeology that Dr. Gong came to the ginseng area of the warehouse, opened several drawers containing old ginseng in Changbai Mountain, and finally selected some good old ginseng. A lot of iron money. 1July, 997, nearly 65,438+10,000 kilograms of iron coins were dug up in Cangzhou, Hebei Province. In July 2006, more than 60,000 Jin of iron coins were found in a construction site in Dongying New District, Shandong Province. These iron coins are all Song Dynasty coins, and the number of unearthed coins is amazing. Coin mother Yuzhu was frightened to disgrace and ran out to call someone. The crying alarmed the neighbors and everyone rushed over. They were surprised and sighed when they saw that the Shi Jia family, who was still full of joy last night, was unexpectedly affected by this change. In the morning, everyone looked separately, and relatives and friends looked everywhere, but no one was seen. At this time, it was suggested that why not go to Baiquan Temple to find Master Zhikong to calculate. People think there is "you get me a firebird, and then find me an unmarried girl." At the end of the world, where the sun rises, there is a princess Lisa in Huaxi, and I need her. If it succeeds, I will give you gold and silver. If it's not finished, my sword will cut off your head. "Richard, and then went to Baiquan Temple. The shopkeeper was a billionaire at that time.
