Xuanran * * in Mongolian archaeology is a gold medal suspected of Genghis Khan.

When Taoer River in Wulanhaote City, Inner Mongolia flows through Suolun Town, the river gradually becomes gentle. After every rainstorm, some mysterious things will be washed away from the bottom of the river, because people's bones are often washed away by these things. The local people think these things are unlucky. When they see these strange things, they will throw them into the river again.

196 1 one day, a couple named Li in Suoluntunzi were repairing a house in Taoerhe and digging sand and stone fittings, and the earth shovel met a metal object. The host pushed aside the sand with his hand, and a metal plate with a round hole jumped into the eye. It is a thin yellowish metal plate, seven or eight centimeters wide and more than twenty centimeters long. Because the surface was covered with mud, he didn't notice that there were words engraved on it. He knocked the mud off the stone, put it in his pocket and continued to dig sand. When the couple got home, they threw the metal cards in the sundries basket and went to repair the house. However, what Mr. and Mrs. Li didn't expect was that 40 years later, they stumbled upon this metal card, but it caused an uproar in Mongolian archaeology.

This metal card dug by the Sorentour River has been lying quietly in the village for 10 years. One day in 65,438+0970, Wu Ligang, a Mongolian, visited this friend named Li's house and came across this metal card in a chat. After careful wiping, he found that there were many words on the metal card that he had never seen before. In order to find out what was written on it, Wu Ligang called several learned old people in the village. Strangely, however, even the old people in the village who know Mongolian characters best don't know what is engraved on this metal plate. This result makes the male owner of the Li family more and more confused. What does his brand do? What's the special meaning of the strange words carved on it?

Wu Ligang feels that the two words on this metal card seem to have been seen somewhere. He recalled a portrait card of Genghis Khan, which had been treasured for many years since he started his family. It also had similar words on it, and it was a long-lost ancient script. Wu Ligang guessed that according to the general habit, Genghis Khan's name must be written under the portrait of Genghis Khan. If these two words are Genghis Khan's name, then this brand is probably Genghis Khan's personal belongings. If so, the metal card they are holding will be priceless and make everyone present excited.

The news that Lao Li's family had this treasure spread like wildfire. Every time they go out to work, the villagers will cast envious eyes. But all this made Lao Li fidgety. In order to hide his eyes and ears, he wrapped the sign in red cloth and pressed it at the bottom of the box, and told everyone that he had given it away. Although Lao Li showed indifference to this brand in front of others, he was so excited that he decided to keep it as a family heirloom.

Forty years have passed, and Li Laohan is going to die. On his deathbed, he gave this brand to his son Li and told him to keep it as a family heirloom. After Li Laohan died, Li spent a lot of money on Li Laohan's funeral and went out to do business. The business lost a lot of money, so he couldn't do it anymore and went home. At this time, he was already in debt, and inadvertently, he thought of that brand. It turned out that he didn't take this brand to heart at all. After his father died, he left this brand in his own vegetable cellar for more than three years. On this day, he took out this sign in the vegetable cellar and wiped off the dirty things on it. He found that this may indeed be a good thing, because more than three years have passed, but this brand has not been corroded at all in the damp cellar. He thought it might be gold, because only gold has such corrosion resistance. Can it be used to sell some money to ease the difficulties at home? So he found Liu Zhenchun, a collector of Ulanhot, through a friend named Bai. Liu Zhenchun saw this brand and thought it was probably valuable, but he couldn't read the words on the brand and didn't know the meaning of the words.

Liu Zhenchun is a porcelain collector. Because Liu Zhenchun has limited experience and knowledge in collecting metal objects, he can't judge this strange metal card. Is it Genghis Khan's stuff or not? Is it worth buying? If it is an acquisition, how much can it be worth? A series of questions made Liu Zhenchun more and more hesitant. At this moment, he suddenly thought of a friend. Zhang Guolin, a native of Wulanhaote, a member of China Collectors Association, is an expert in collecting gold wares and ancient jade in Xing 'an League.

Zhang Guolin studied physics in college, so she is very sensitive to antique materials. When he held this metal Kolor in his hand, he felt that it was not an ordinary metal card in terms of weight, and it was much more important than an iron card or a copper card of the same size. Judging from experience, Zhang Guolin will probably win the gold medal if nothing happens. The oxidation resistance of gold far exceeds that of ordinary metals. Even if it is buried in the soil, it will not be seriously oxidized for a long time. Zhang Guolin's judgment dispelled Liu Zhenchun's doubts that this metal card was not old enough.

In order to confirm whether this metal brand is a gold medal, I took Li to Wulanhaote Branch of China People's Bank to prepare the composition analysis of this brand. The staff in the bank put the metal card on the spectrum analyzer, and a minute later, the computer screen began to react. Everyone in the venue watched the changes on the screen nervously, and the index of the column of gold element was rising, indicating that this brand did contain gold. Just as the gold index rose to 48%, the figures stopped. At this time, the index in the silver column began to climb and finally stopped at 46%.

Metallic silver is white. When it is mixed with gold, the inherent color of gold will not change in tone except that it becomes lighter. When the ratio of gold to silver reaches 1: 1, gold will retain its greatest original properties in texture and color. The color difference between this ratio of gold and silver alloy and pure gold is not large, so it is difficult to distinguish it separately without careful comparison. Gold is soft in texture, which will change its shape with a little external force, so it is very inconvenient to carry and use large and thin gold products. This gold medal skillfully uses the combination of gold and silver, which improves the strength and folding resistance to 4.5 times that of pure gold. Such a scientific and ingenious ratio must have its unusual function and purpose.

Zhang Guolin thinks this is an extremely rare collection treasure, which strengthens his idea. Whether this brand is Genghis Khan's personal belongings or not, its cultural relic value, archaeological value and collection value are extraordinary. Liu Zhenchun was also very excited after seeing the results of component analysis. Although it is not yet possible to judge that the brand is Genghis Khan's personal belongings, the ingenious ratio of precious metals and gold and silver used to make the brand is enough to prove its unusual. As you can imagine, the status of the person holding this gold medal is so noble. Liu Zhenchun intends to buy this gold medal in partnership with Zhang Guolin. After private discussion, Liu Zhenchun decided to spend 8,000 yuan each, totaling16,000 yuan to buy Li's gold medal.

Liu Zhenchun has a habit. Before every transaction, he will look at the items carefully. This time, there are no exceptions. The magnifying glass glided over the gold medal, and Liu Zhenchun tried not to let go of every tiny detail. When the magnifying glass inadvertently stayed on the round hole of the metal card, Liu Zhenchun suddenly saw a line of words. He read this line carefully and broke out in a cold sweat. On the inside of the gold medal ring, there is a row of characters that anyone can read. The number 96 is a simplified Chinese character. This font was not implemented until after liberation. How did it end up on antiquities? This gold medal was probably stolen from the museum, because only archaeologists will number the items according to the unearthed order when excavating the ancient tomb. If this is the case, then the actions of both buyers and sellers violate the national cultural relics protection law, which is enough to constitute a crime.

In order to thoroughly understand the origin of this gold medal, Liu Zhenchun, who broke out in a cold sweat, decided to use the lack of cash as an excuse to try his best to delay the time to understand the origin of the gold medal and the contents of the mysterious words on it. After some bargaining, Liu Zhenchun and Li clinched the deal at the price of1.2000. After writing a receipt for Li and paying a deposit of 2000 yuan in advance, Liu Zhenchun finally got the gold medal in his own hands temporarily. They met for two weeks and went to Liu Zhenchun's house to pay the balance. In the afternoon, Li took the receipt and 2000 yuan to get on the last bus to Solon, while Liu Zhenchun and he rushed to the office nonstop and made a big rubbing on the words on the gold medal with sulfuric acid paper. At six o'clock in the afternoon, they sent rubbings and photos to friends and colleagues who worked in cultural relics stations of major museums across the country. On the one hand, they want to know whether similar cultural relics have been stolen from major museums and cultural relics stations, and on the other hand, they hope that experts can recognize and translate the words on the gold medal.

So far, Liu Zhenchun and Zhang Guolin have only accurately mastered the casting composition of the gold medal, but they still know nothing about the mysterious words on the gold medal. When they were arguing about the historical period of the gold medal, Li saw a treasure hunt program broadcast by Jilin TV station at home. After watching this program, Li had a bold idea. He thinks that the value of this gold medal may far exceed the 12000 yuan provided by Liu Zhenchun and Zhang Guolin. He wants to find a more authoritative cultural relic expert to further appraise the gold medal, and the appointment time of two weeks will come soon. Museums and cultural relics stations all over the country still have no news about gold medals. Liu Zhenchun wants to buy Li's gold medal immediately, but he is worried that the origin of the gold medal is unknown, and blind acquisition will violate national laws. The strange Zhang Zi No.96 keeps appearing in front of Liu Zhenchun and Zhang Guolin. Until one puzzling problem after another is solved, none of them dare to buy this gold medal with confidence.

Finally, the two men discussed it and decided to give up the acquisition. At noon two weeks later, Li came to Liu Zhenchun's house. Because both sides are unwilling to reach a deal, the gold medal acquisition broke up in discord. Looking at Li's fading back, they seem to feel that they have missed a major historical discovery.
