In the 1970s, a farmer unwittingly unearthed a 5,000-year-old jade ring from the Hongshan culture and repurposed it as a penholder. This discovery has connected the farmer's family to archaeological work ever since. His son, who saw a goddess statue unearthed, now guards the temple. From a penholder to a national treasure, from a farmer in the fields to a guardian of cultural relics, the Hongshan civilization's legacy lives on in everyday moments!
