As for why there are many similar pottery in provincial museums, that’s because although pottery has low economic value, it has extremely high archaeological value. Most of the pottery stored in museums are clay seals, Qin and Han tiles, Northern Wei, Han and Tang figurines, Painted pottery with exquisite paintings and pottery that can represent a certain value of a certain period and place, such as pottery pots fired from different periods such as the Neolithic Age, Longshan Culture, Yangshao Culture, Liangzhu Culture, and Shixia Culture.

After hearing what Chen Dong said, the villagers all understood that the older something is, the more valuable it is. It also depends on the rarity of the item, its own value, as well as its cultural and craft value.

Otherwise, this green-glazed animal clay pot of the Han Dynasty is exquisite, large in shape, in good condition, with green glaze on the outside and animal decorations, which has a certain artistic value, otherwise it can only be worth tens or hundreds of dollars.

Seeing one treasure after another being appraised by Chen Dong, the prices range from several thousand to tens of thousands, and the remaining villagers who have not been appraised are holding their treasures, and they are very looking forward to it, wishing that it will be their turn to be appraised next. Yes, as long as you have a valuable thing in your hand, it will be a big deal.

It's a pity that no treasures were identified to make everyone excited. At most, the villagers had some copper coins at home and collected a few sets of Five Emperors' coins. From the copper coins, they found some small and large samples, wide-rim samples, and stars and moon patterns on the backs. It's worth dozens or hundreds of copper coins, so the villagers won't be disappointed.

At the table, a villager shook his head in disappointment, turned and left with a vase in his hand.

An old man came over with a bamboo basket in his hand.

"Although this bamboo basket looks old, it is neither an antique nor a bronze coin. Can it be valuable?" a villager asked curiously.

"Uncle Song can be worth 3000 yuan for a chair that has been sitting on it for decades. It's so strange." Another villager said with a smile.

"Uncle Lin, please sit down."

Uncle Lin put the bamboo basket on the table and sat down.

Chen Dong picked up the bamboo basket, looked at it carefully, and then raised his head and said to Uncle Lin, "The bamboo basket is very exquisite in workmanship, it looks very old, and the pulp is red and bright. You can tell that it is old at a glance. You made this bamboo basket yourself Is it? It’s been decades.”

Uncle Lin nodded, "Yes, I made it myself. It is an ancestral craft. It has been passed down to me for the fourth generation. I make a living by this craft. I make bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, bamboo chairs, fish baskets and other bamboo products. Because of the good workmanship and durability, many people in the town bought my bamboo products. But now they are no longer available. Machine processing has replaced hand-knitting. The price of machine-processed bamboo products is almost the same as that of hand-knitted ones. The colors and styles are not bad. , no one bought it, and they thought our stuff was rough, so I stopped making it. This hand-knitting craft can no longer be passed down to my generation." When I said this, I was a little bit embarrassed, and there was an indescribable loneliness in my eyes.

Chen Dong nodded sympathetically.

In fact, it is not only Uncle Lin who is facing the dilemma and embarrassment between inheritance and the market. With the impact of industrialization and the desolation of traditional handicrafts, more and more folk handicrafts are gradually disappearing, such as Shaanxi ancient papermaking, Lanzhou hookah, Xiaoshan ten thousand strands of silk, etc. , Some traditional skills have gradually withdrawn from the people's way of life before they are even well known to modern people, and there are few successors to the exquisite traditional skills.

"Is this bamboo basket worth anything? Dozens of dollars, even more than 100 dollars." Uncle Lin asked.

"Uncle Lin, to be honest, this bamboo basket is made of ordinary bamboo, which has almost no collection value. It is not a treasure, but in my opinion, your traditional handicraft is a folk treasure. If it can be passed on, it will be a treasure of our nation I'm so lucky." Chen Dong said.

Hearing this, Uncle Lin shook his head with a sigh of relief, "It's difficult, this craft can't make much money, and it's hard work, no one wants to learn this craft from me."

Seeing Uncle Lin's lonely appearance, Chen Dong also felt sorry for Uncle Lin. There is no successor, which is probably the greatest sorrow for craftsmen. Suddenly Chen Dong thought of the "one village, one product" store in Yuanshikong, so he said to Uncle Song, "Uncle Song, let me think of an idea. If it works, you can pass on your bamboo weaving skills and make the villagers rich."

"Xiaodong, you have read a lot, you have a wide range of knowledge, and you have a flexible mind. Tell me what you think." Hearing Chen Dong say that he can pass on his bamboo weaving skills and make the whole village rich, Uncle Song He said with a smile.

"This is what I think. We have such good bamboo resources in Qingzhu Mountain. It would be a pity not to develop and utilize them."

When Chen Dong said that he planned to develop the bamboo resources of Qingzhu Mountain, many villagers were tempted.

In the past, the villagers never thought about using the bamboo resources of Qingzhu Mountain to make everyone rich, but many problems have not been solved, and it is not easy to develop the bamboo resources of Qingzhu Mountain.

There are several reasons why such a large piece of bamboo resources are not used to make good use of it, and generations of people would rather plan food on a small amount of barren land. First, the village has no money and cannot afford to buy bamboo. The machinery and equipment of the finished product cannot compete with hand-weaving alone.Second, the transportation is inconvenient, and the bamboo products produced cannot be transported out.Third, there is no channel to sell the produced bamboo products.

"Well said, Xiao Dong, if you have any good ideas, please tell everyone." The village chief Li Dayuan stood up and said to Chen Dong.

"The reason why the village didn't make good use of the bamboo resources of Qingzhu Mountain to make everyone rich, I think, may be due to lack of funds, inconvenient transportation, and lack of sales channels." Chen Dong said.

"Yes, Xiaodong, what can you do?" Chen Dayuan asked Chen Dong.

Chen Dong nodded and said, "I will pay for the lack of funds, I will repair the roads, and I will find sales channels."

When they heard Chen Dong saying that he would fund road construction, the villagers were first shocked and then surprised.

This road has troubled the people of Chenjia Village for more than ten generations. Apart from the lack of land, barren land and no cash crops, the biggest reason for the poverty of Chenjia Village is the inconvenient transportation. The village is located in a ravine, and the location is remote. The mountain road is steep and steep. Bicycles, motorcycles, and cars must be careful when driving in. I am afraid that the car will accidentally fall into the cliff with people. Larger tractors and trucks can’t get in at all. No one wants to come in. Chenjia Village Few people go out, and there is not even a decent elementary school. To go to school, you have to walk several miles to the next village.

When the people of Chenjiacun, who were frightened by poverty, heard that Chen Dong was going to pay to build roads in Chenjiacun, they were so grateful to Chen Dong that many old people even shed tears. Everyone understood the truth that as long as the road was open, , everyone can live a good life.
