Xu Wen buried his head in the small library.

This library is not too big, but it definitely has a large collection of books. What's even more rare is that it may be due to the preference of the old man of the Rong family, and there are especially many historical aspects in the collection.

Xu Wen mainly chose the history books from the Tang Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, focusing on the folk customs of the time.

After paying attention to these details, he felt more and more strange.

The world of Banmen is not any era written on this.

Each era has its own customs, and this is first reflected in the clothing.

For example, the commoners of the Song Dynasty mostly wore hemp training shoes, and the civilians of the Ming Dynasty wore a kind of straw shoes called 睸 or a kind of semi-high leather shoes called Za (Ge Weng).

In addition, the ornaments on the hats and clothes can reflect the different characteristics of each era, and it is possible to judge when this dynasty was.

In addition to the costumes, there are many other details.

For example, the carriage and horse shops, goods and utensils, all of which bear the imprint of their respective eras, just like Xu Wen said to Rong Xian in his lecture, most of them are caused by the level of production development and the changes in the objective environment at that time.

This kind of judgment is called "dating down" in professional terms, and it is the basic skill of identifying cultural relics.

In the Banmen world, Lian Tianqing mentioned it, but never taught him this kind of thing.

Now Xu Wen tried it with his own method, and he found that the characteristics of the Banmen world were very chaotic, and there was no way to break the generation.

Speaking of shoes, Xu Wen wore pu straw shoes in Yao's workshop, and when he went out, Lin Lin made a pair of shoes for each of them, all of which were stronger hemp shoes.

After arriving in Yushui County, there are straw sandals, hemp shoes, and leather shoes in the county, and even a few people wear high-level leather boots.

That was what their brothers saw when they lived in the stable, and the brothers were amazed, and Lu Cheng was so envious, and there was nothing else superfluous.

But judging from the history books, in order to standardize etiquette, except for the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the common people were not allowed to wear boots at other times, and they would be severely punished if caught.

Except for those who have passed the hundred labor test to become officials and become knights, no matter how powerful the craftsmen are, they are also civilians, and it is almost unimaginable to wear boots in and out of the Ziyi Club like this.

Speaking of the 100 Gong Examination, it is also very strange, Xu Wen checked carefully, no matter which dynasty has never had such a large-scale craftsman examination.

The dynasty with the best treatment of craftsmen was the Ming Dynasty, and several famous craftsmen were awarded official positions, the most famous of which was Kuai (pronounced kuai three sounds) Xiang, the Ming Dynasty Imperial Palace, which is now the final prototype of the Forbidden City, which was designed and presided over by him. Kuaixiang official to the Ministry of Works, was personally called "Kuailuban" by the emperor.

In addition, there are several craftsmen who have served as officials, such as Lu Xiang, Guo Wenying, Xu Gao, etc.

But that's basically a personal deed, and it doesn't form a system like a hundred work.

And even if they became officials, their status in front of the scholars was still not effectively promoted.

For example, Xu Gao, who was the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, can be said to be the highest official title ever obtained by a craftsman. But what about his eventual end?

As soon as Emperor Jiajing, who promoted him, died, he was impeached and dismissed, and after his dismissal, he also framed a stigma, saying that he had embezzled tens of thousands of public funds, and that he was "an official", that is, he was promoted beyond the ranks. In the end, Xu Gao was exiled to the border, and the ending was very tragic.

That's because even in the Ming Dynasty, there were gully-like differences between different classes.

If you are classified as a craftsman, you cannot participate in the imperial examination, you cannot use the imperial examination to improve your class, and your status is always lower than that of the so-called "scholars", that is, scholars.

A small number of low-class craftsmen in office are simply not enough to shake this class difference.

But if there are hundreds of tests, it will be different.

It is like the imperial examination, it is a fixed upward channel, and it is conceivable that as long as it continues, the status of craftsmen can be completely changed, and even reach the same status as scholars.

The future of such a world will definitely be very different from the historical development that Xu Wen has seen!

This hundred tests alone can fully illustrate more fully than any detail that the world of Banmen is by no means any historical dynasty that Xu Wen knows, but a complete "different world"!

But why, why did the Banmen appear here, and there are still many inheritances that overlap with what Xu Wen knows?

For this class, Xu Wen became more and more curious......

Be sure to visit their headquarters when you have the chance.

He made up his mind in his mind.

The exploration of the world of Banmen is only a small part of Xu Wen's reading at this time, and most of the time, he is still really reading and learning, and he is completely addicted to it.

History itself has such a charm.

At the same time, he dabbled a little bit in the other part of the content.

What Lian Tianqing taught him was to restore some "old objects", which in today's words is the restoration of cultural relics.

The rest of the carpenters, mortise and tenon joints and the like that he learned were just a pre-understanding work for the restoration of cultural relics. Eighteen ingenious is also the basic technology necessary for the restoration of cultural relics.

Xu Wen learned about the development of modern cultural relics restoration by the way.

With the development of cultural relics restoration, there are some differences between tradition and modernity.

This distinction is reflected in the craftsmanship itself, on the one hand, and more in the restoration concept.

With regard to craftsmanship, as with any other craft, the development of modern technology and the use of tools have brought about a radical change in "tradition". For example, the reagent materials used in the restoration, the ancient ones are basically various natural extracts, and the modern ones have become chemical products, and in terms of effect, the latter has more advantages.

The difference is even greater.

The ancient restoration may be due to the requirements of Party A, and the habit of repairing is so that no traces can be seen, and the more similar it is to the original appearance, the better.

In modern times, the difference between the ancient and the modern is emphasized in the restoration process, leaving traces of restoration and making a clear distinction from the original of the ancient.

It may be that the effect of the red fruit that Qiuqiu gave him is still continuing, Xu Wen stayed in the library for two days, sleepless, and not tired at all.

Countless books were removed from the shelves and placed in his hand, and from one side to the other.

He was like a long-dried sponge, hungry and thirsty for everything he came into contact with, contrasting it with what he had learned in the Banmen world.

Rong Xian didn't bother him, only occasionally someone would come to put the dinner plate on the table outside, Xu Wen could eat it directly, and someone would take the plate away after eating, which was very intimate.

Two days later, his phone finally rang.

Xu Wen didn't react for a while, and after staying for a while before realizing that it was his mobile phone, he picked it up a little sluggishly.

"Wow, I knew you studied like this, I definitely wouldn't have been deceived by you!"

As soon as the phone was connected, Rong Xian's voice rang out in a wah-wow-wow. He is not stupid, of course he knows that Xu Wen said that what is the most efficient way to absorb popularity in a five-star hotel is to fool him, but he has always been shocked how his memory can be so good.

Now he sincerely admires it, he doesn't go out for two days, he reads whenever he goes to see, he has this spirit of learning, and he has long been the first in the whole class and the whole school!

Xu Wen didn't react and didn't answer for a while.

Rong Xian then shouted: "Hey, wake up, the test results are coming out, they have already arrived!"
