Running out into the field and picking up a rare treasure turns out to be true. The following unusual story is proof.

In September 1962, in Dai Xuyen village, Huu Ngoc district, Soc Chau city (Shanxi province, China), a strange incident occurred. This was also the time to harvest rice in the fields. Therefore, after school, the children in the village would go to the fields to glean rice that the adults had missed. Among the children in the village, a boy named Truong (12 years old) was the most diligent and picked up the most rice.

However, the boy surnamed Truong had a problem because he picked up too much rice in the field and could not bring it all home at once. Therefore, the boy planned to find a place to hide the rice and come back the next day.

When the boy decided to hide the rice in a ditch not far from the field, something unexpected happened. He saw 3 copper pots exposed due to heavy rain the night before. The boy thought that these strange pots could be sold for money, so he picked them up and brought them home. When the news of the boy named Truong picking up 3 strange copper pots, the farmers in the village thought there was treasure in the area, so they took their shovels to search for the treasure.

Upon hearing the news, the village chief immediately ran to the fields to stop the villagers and reported the news to the local Cultural Relics Management Board. As soon as they received the news, experts rushed to the scene. After careful inspection, the experts concluded that the place where the 12-year-old boy picked up the three pots used to be an ancient kiln.

Local authorities and experts have urged people to hand over the found artifacts, including three bronze pots that the boy accidentally picked up.

In particular, among the many excavated objects, there was a very sophisticated wine jar. From the beginning, this jar attracted the attention of experts. The bronze jar was exquisitely crafted with many images of cows, horses, sheep, etc. According to the inscription on the body of the wine jar, this antique weighed 12 kg and was crafted in the 3rd year of He Ping. He Ping was a reign title of Emperor Cheng of Han Liu Ao (51 BC - 7 BC), the 12th emperor of the Han Dynasty. The 3rd year of He Ping was 26 BC. This means that this is a cultural relic from the Han Dynasty.

Experts discovered a nine-tailed fox, what is the truth?

Later, when studying the animal patterns on the wine jar, experts discovered a strangely shaped animal on the relic, resembling a fox. However, this fox had 9 tails. In fact, the fox had 8 tails growing under 1 large tail.

Looking at this pattern, many people will think that the nine-tailed fox (nine-tailed fox or nine-tailed fox) really exists. According to experts, the nine-tailed fox is actually just a legendary animal. Although the nine-tailed fox appears on this bronze wine bottle, we cannot use this as a basis to believe that this animal exists.

From a scientific point of view, the nine-tailed fox on this ancient wine bottle is most likely a wild fox. It has lived in the wild for a long time and because it was not properly cared for, its tail became long and untidy. This caused later generations to mistake it for a nine-tailed fox.

Foxes are very intelligent animals. Because their attack ability is not strong, many people believe that, in order to survive in the harsh natural world, they are often very cunning and flexible. According to legend, if a fox cultivates enough to grow 3 tails, it will turn into a fox demon. When it grows 6 tails, it will turn into a demon fox and 9 tails will turn into a celestial fox and can turn into a human.

The bronze wine jar is recognized as a national treasure and is currently on display at the Shanxi Provincial Museum. This bronze treasure provides a lot of research information for experts on how ancient people lived in harmony with nature and reveals many cultural features and the skillful hands of craftsmen more than 2,000 years ago.
