Teacher Zhang, I want to trouble you again. I want to ask: is it illegal to trade Liangzhu Jade Cong, a first-class cultural relic, privately, and will it be confiscated by the state?
From the perspective of cultural relics protection law, it is of course illegal to trade cultural relics prohibited from circulation. The cultural relics department focuses on the auction market and cultural relics shops, and the supervision of private transactions is not very strict. Liangzhu Jade Cong belongs to a class of cultural relics, but it is not a first-class cultural relic. As long as it is not a big show, the cultural relics department generally doesn't have that much manpower to manage it. Once found, it is generally said that it is enough for Tibetan friends to exchange and appreciate the collection in time.
