In an episode of Shaanxi Satellite TV’s “Huashan Luanjian” program, a man over 60 years old brought in a seal of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He believes that this seal has been handed down for more than 1,800 years.
The old man estimated that this seal was worth 1 million yuan (about 3.4 billion VND). However, appraisal experts say it only costs 5 yuan (about 17 thousand VND).
After listening to the experts, the man was so angry that he pointed at the expert and asked: “Do you know who I am?”.
The man brought the seal to the appraisal program, believing it was a passed down treasure
So what is this man’s identity? Why did experts conclude that his family heirloom was fake?
The man’s name is Ha Bao Ngoc, 63 years old. “Uncle Ha, what item did you bring to the show today?“, MC asked but Mr. Ha did not answer but directly opened the package. Inside was a piece of jade. Mr. Ha said: “This is a treasure left by my ancestors, it’s a seal.”
Listening to Mr. Ha speak, many people discussed because the seal indeed has a different, unique, cubic shape. The program host was quite curious because he had never seen such a seal. The seal is about 25-30cm long. On the seal are two large bright red characters that look like seals (an ancient style of Chinese calligraphy).
Mr. Ha said, this seal left by his ancestors, passed down from generation to generation, has a history of more than 1,800 years. After listening to Mr. Ha’s words, many people were shocked. Because they did not expect that this seal would have such a long history. There began to be discussions in the auditorium, and the atmosphere became more exciting.
The host continued: “Uncle, you said this is a treasure passed down in the family for more than 1,800 years, so who are your ancestors?”.
Mr. Ha said his ancestors told him to be modest, so he did not reveal the family’s identity. Next, an expert came to talk to Mr. Ha: “He said, this is a treasure that was passed down, so why did you bring it here for appraisal? Don’t you believe what your ancestors said?”
“No, I’m very sure about the authenticity of this treasure. I just want to bring it here for everyone to see,” Mr. Ha continued.
Previously, Mr. Ha’s father loved this seal very much and often did not let him touch it. Later, when his father passed away, Mr. Ha accidentally found the seal in a secret compartment under the bed. This made him even more certain about the value of the seal being passed down from generation to generation.
Mr. Ha then brought the seal to the antique market and contacted a number of collectors. They all said that this seal was worth a lot, about 1 million yuan.
After hearing the expert’s valuation, the man was “severely shocked”
However, Mr. Ha did not agree to sell. Because after many times of searching the family, he believed that the seal must be the seal of Cao Cao, the hero at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. After listening to Mr. Ha speak, all the audience were shocked. The program expert picked up a magnifying glass and began to observe. After a few minutes, the expert said that Mr. Ha’s seal was fake. At this time, it was Mr. Ha who was surprised and shocked.
Experts explain:“First of all, we can confirm that the shape of this seal is that of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It does indeed have the word “Cao Cao” engraved in large seal letters, so it can be called “The Great Seal of Cao Cao.” . However, in my opinion, this is just a handmade product that is imitated by later generations and it is only worth at most 5 yuan (17 thousand VND).
“The products of the Eastern Han Dynasty that are passed down must be rough. Because the Eastern Han Dynasty ended more than 1,800 years ago. Looking at this seal, I see that it is as transparent as crystal, without a rough feeling. So I believe this is just an imitation handmade product of the next generation.”the expert added.
Mr. Ha explained: “The expert is wrong, my ancestor was Cao Cao’s general – Ha Hau Don. So I’m sure this seal comes from that time.”
However, the evidence about Mr. Ha’s ancestors was not enough to convince experts that the seal was from the Eastern Han Dynasty and Cao Cao. Therefore, experts advised Mr. Ha to bring his seal to a specialized agency. One only needs to perform a thermoluminescent test on the seal to determine whether it is from the Eastern Han Dynasty or not.
Faced with the experts’ assertion, Mr. Ha angrily took the seal and left. However, the audience is still skeptical about the origin of the seal because there is no convincing exact answer. Perhaps doing as advised by experts will be the clearest determination, it’s just a matter of whether Mr. Ha is willing to accept it or not.
