The 3-ton dragon bed in the Qing Dynasty is still alive, and experts hope to hand it over to the country. What did the collectors do in the end?

Qing Dynasty was the last feudal dynasty in China. * * * has enjoyed the country for 276 years since the reform of Huang Taiji. During these 270 years, the Qing Dynasty carried out the policy of closing the country to the outside world, which also led China to miss the industrial revolution in the West. Since the Opium War, the western powers invaded under various pretexts, but they just wanted to open the market and plunder treasures.

The invasion of Britain, France and Eight-Nation Alliance led to the loss of a large number of cultural relics in Yuanmingyuan overseas. 1924, Feng Yuxiang kicked Pu Yi out again. When the princes and ministers in the palace fled for their lives, they divided up the treasures in the palace. Several eunuchs saw that there was nothing to take, so they put the emperor in the palace. Dragon bed? Moved out.

Eunuchs make a living by selling precious calligraphy and painting. In the end, only this dragon bed was not wanted, so it has always been regarded as? Family heirloom? From generation to generation, until 1993, an old man in his fifties came to the door and said he wanted to buy this dragon bed. The dragon bed accumulated for many years was once again turned out by the treasures.

The buyer is the collector Lin. When he was young, he opened two sports shoe factories. He usually has no hobbies, but he likes old things. Except for the working capital of the factory, all the money he earned was spent on the antique market. He also found out the whereabouts of this dragon bed through gossip.

The dragon bed weighs 3 tons and is made of a whole piece of wood without any splicing. In addition to the black and shiny appearance, the whole dragon bed is also carved with 55 lifelike dragons, whose claws are very particular. The bedpost and the top of the bed are all five-claw dragons, and the legs and hand guards of the bed are all three-claw and four-claw dragons.

Lin saw this one? Dragon bed? I made up my mind to buy it, but the problem came. Longchuang's family has more than a dozen direct descendants. Everyone wants a piece of the action, but some refuse to sell, and some want tens of millions. The family quarreled endlessly.

Lin spent 10 many times a month, and finally bought this one with a dozen pieces of porcelain worth 20 million? Dragon bed? At first, Lin always thought that this dragon bed was made of rosewood, but when cleaning the dust, he smelled a strong fragrance.

He invited an expert to make an appraisal. I didn't expect it to be Daphne, which began to make incense because of the lesion of agarwood. It takes at least ten years or even hundreds of years for a high-quality Daphne plant to form. A 3-ton agarwood dragon bed is unique even in the history of China.

Lin has kept the agarwood dragon bed at home since he bought it, but he never dared to sleep for fear of losing his life. In 2007, Lin opened an antique shop named Gui Baozhai in Fuxia Road, Putian City. He moved the dragon bed out and put it in the shop.

The secular dragon bed in Qing Dynasty also attracted many experts and antique lovers. According to some experts' appraisal, this dragon bed should have been built a hundred years ago, but the wood came from Indonesia. This Daphne plant has been growing for at least thousands of years. Under the evaluation of these professionals.

Someone offered 2 billion, but it was rejected. Some experts also suggested that it should be put in a museum. Lin said humorously, this bed must be priceless. Someone offered 2 billion, but I'm not short of money. I won't sell it. I'll sell it for 500 million if I want, but I won't sell it to foreigners? Lin made this very clear, and experts stopped asking questions.
