In our daily life, there doesn't seem to be much difference between cultural relics and other items, and many people may not know whether the items in their hands are cultural relics or not, which leads to the destruction of a large number of cultural relics.
In order to help the public understand and protect cultural relics, major television stations came into being and launched a series of programs dedicated to identifying cultural relics, such as "Treasure Appreciation". The program invites industry experts, and the public can also sign up to participate and ask experts for identification.
However, in Beijing TV's "World Collection" program, there was an accident, the famous actor Wang Gang accidentally smashed a collection worth 200 million, and the owner of the collection sued him in court, how did the matter finally be resolved?
"The World Collection" is a program that brings together well-known experts at home and abroad, collectors, celebrities and other hosts, especially with a smashing of fakes. In the program, there was a traditional Chinese medicine doctor and collector from Hebei Province, Fu Changyong, who brought a pair of "sweet white glaze hand cups" to experts to identify the authenticity and value.
However, after expert identification, they believed that this pair of "sweet white glazed hand cups" was a fake, and the host Wang Gang smashed one of the bracelets with a small hammer according to the program process.
Every treasure holder in the show must sign a disclaimer that clearly states that if an expert determines that the treasure is a fake, the treasure holder needs to agree to destroy it.
If the treasure is real, the expert will give the market price as a reference, and the program team will also provide a bonus. When Wang Gang smashed a bracelet, Fu Changyong was very dissatisfied with it.
Convinced that the treasure he had brought was genuine, he decided to take another bracelet and seek identification from another agency. The result was pleasantly surprised, this treasure was confirmed to be genuine, produced in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, and is a rare variety of blue and white porcelain, Su Ma Liqing, worth as much as 200 million yuan.
Fu Changyong couldn't help but be furious when he learned that Wang Gang had smashed his bracelet by mistake. It's not just an ordinary bracelet, it's his possessions. Therefore, he decided to take Wang Gang and the program team of "World Collection" to court, hoping to get a fair deal through the law.
The incident sparked heated discussions online, with many netizens expressing their dissatisfaction with the practice of smashing treasures based solely on expert appraisal results. They believe that Wang Gang may have accidentally smashed the real treasure, and that many of those that were mistaken for fakes may be genuine.
The rewritten copy emphasizes Fu Changyong's anger and importance to property, while also highlighting netizens' attention and discussion of the incident.
Fu Changyong did not win the lawsuit because he signed an agreement with the program team in advance and paid 3,300 yuan in legal fees. This incident has caused the reputation of the "World Collection" program team and Wang Gang to suffer a heavy blow, and the credibility of the experts has also been questioned.
Subsequently, the program was forced to stop broadcasting, and other related programs were also affected, and the ratings were not as good as before. In the end, the so-called treasure appreciation program gradually faded out of the public's field of vision.
