Chapter 50: Absolute coincidence
Tan Nian and Xia Tanhe came to Xiacheng this time, and they were about to go to Shahaigouzi to conduct an archaeological investigation of the ancient tomb.
It's just that they didn't expect that the porcelain fragments that Xu Ran picked up had a mezzanine, and the geographical indication on the back of the Xixia silk book found in it actually pointed to that place.
Moreover, listening to the teacher Song Wenli, the front of the silk book is the ancient book written by Master Zhending for the royal family to worship the heavens, which makes the place of Shahaigouzi painted a layer of mystery in the hearts of everyone.
After Song Wenli studied the Western Xia Silk Book, and then compared the geographical map of the mountains and rivers of Xia City that Xu Ran found for him, he finally determined that the map drawn by the ancient method on the back of the Western Xia Silk Book was indeed the area of Shahaigouzi.
This can't help but surprise Song Wenli very much.
It seems that this sand sea ditch is really not an ordinary place, they are going to excavate and investigate a confirmed tomb of a Han Dynasty general, some people suspected that it was the tomb of the flying general Li Guang, and some people suspected that it was the tomb of a Xiongnu Shan Yu, and there were different statements.
But the strange thing is that among some of the antiquities excavated by the archaeological team in the tomb, they found many burial goods belonging to many Han generals and Mongolian generals in the Tang, Song, Mengyuan and Yuan dynasties, as well as many antiquities with the characteristics of the Xixia culture in the Song Dynasty.
This makes many people more and more confused about how many generals from different dynasties are buried in that ancient tomb, and there is a feeling of time and space confusion, so this time there will be several waves of experts to lead the team to investigate.
Xia Tanhe and Tan Nian couldn't understand the ancient Western Xia texts, and Song Wenli only understood a little, but the so-called heavenly book written by the mage on the Western Xia silk book, no one present could understand what it meant.
Song Wenli put away the Xixia silk book and said: "Xiao Ran, I know a few friends who know the ancient Xixia language, I will take the Tianshu text on the Xixia silk book and go to them to crack and translate it, do you have no opinion?"
"Of course not, teacher, you can just take it!"
Xu Ran waved his hand indifferently, and said: "Because I have recovered some antique fragments in the past two days, I have seen a lot, so I saw that the high imitation porcelain he broke in He Jiguang's house was mixed with such a piece of genuine Song porcelain fragments, and I felt that there was a little abnormality in the fault of the fragment, I felt that there might be something mixed in this fragment, so I took the opportunity to pick it up and want to study it!"
"Mint and I went in and saw that the porcelain was broken, I just wanted to figure out who fell it, but I didn't pay attention to the fragments scattered on the ground at all, I didn't expect that after Xiao Ran you went in, you found the difference between the fragments on the ground at a glance, hehe, it seems that in archaeology, talent is more important than knowledge!"
Tan Nian sighed with emotion and said: "It seems that Xiao Ran, you are not in the field of archaeology, it is really a pity that you are talented!"
After Song Wenli put away the Xixia silk book, he couldn't help frowning when he heard Tan Nian say this, and said: "I have emphasized to you many times that archaeology is most focused on concentration and research, and in the identification of antiquities, it is meticulous and flexible.
In the past, I took you to appreciate a lot of antiquities, although it has increased your eyesight and cognitive level, but in terms of essence analysis, you are not as good as Xu Ran, he will at least use the easiest method, that is, through the fragments of those antiquities to analyze the historical information contained in them, so as to find the essence, which will be very helpful for distinguishing the authenticity of antiquities and determining their historical casting culture, so far, which of you has done this?"
After listening to the teacher's questioning, Xia Tanhe and Tan Nian didn't dare to talk much, they really didn't do what the teacher asked them to do in this regard.
Knock knock!
At this time, someone knocked on the door outside the warehouse, and Li Dezhu's voice came: "Xiao Ran, are you there?"
After Xu Ran heard Li Dezhu's voice, he went over and opened the door.
I saw that there were a lot of antique fragments in Li Dezhu's tricycle box, with dirt, at least half of the box.
Xu Ran was a little surprised: "Uncle Li, why are there so many fragments?"
Li Dezhu was very honest, touched his forehead and said: "These are all buried after being smashed when the four old days were broken, and it was my third uncle who took me to bury it when I was still young, so for so many years, I still remember that place, so it took a day or two to dig it out, I came in the morning, you weren't ......."
Xu Ran really had nothing to say about this Uncle Li's professional attitude, and when he said to dig it, he really dug it all up, looking at this car, it is estimated that there is nothing left.
At this time, Xia Tanhe walked out.
When she saw the cartload of antique fragments, she couldn't help but open her mouth, as if she had seen something incredible, and said, "Xu Ran, aren't you?"
Xu Ran couldn't help but laugh evilly, and said: "Sister Mint, didn't the teacher just say that you didn't do what he asked, now it's okay, now there are such half a cart of ready-made antique fragments for you to practice, are you surprised, are you not surprised?"
"Xu Ran, I'm going to kill you!"
Xia Tanhe felt as if he had been trapped, and couldn't help but scream, and was about to inflict violence on Xu Ran.
Xu Ran had been on guard for a long time.
Seeing that Xia Tanhe was about to run away, he ran away and hid behind Song Wenli and said: "Teacher, in fact, this is not my intention, I collected some fragments to study two days ago, and the cartbox outside was sent to me by this Uncle Li only today, this is definitely a coincidence!"
"Oh, that's a good thing, it just so happens that Tan Nian and Mint can practice their hands, hehe!"
When Song Wenli heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
Tan Nian didn't know what was going on, so he went out to take a look.
But when he saw the cartload of antique fragments, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he said, "Xiao Ran, what do you want to do when you come back with so much rags?"
"I said, I'm going to do some experiments!"
Xia Tanhe put his hands on his waist, stared at Xu Ran and gritted his teeth: "Xu Ran, there is a kind of you who have been hiding behind the teacher and don't come out, I promise not to kill you!"
Song Wenli walked to the door, but when he saw the cartload of antique fragments, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, coughed and said, "Well, these fragments do look a bit much, where did they get them?"
When Li Dezhu saw this gentleman with an extraordinary temperament asking him, he replied truthfully: "When the four old ones were broken, they were smashed and buried in a unified manner, and Xiao Ran collected these things two days ago, and I went to dig them up!"
Song Wenli picked up a few pieces from them and looked at them, and couldn't help but sigh: "If it weren't for that movement back then, how many ancient cultural relics with research value would have been preserved intact!"
Saying that, Song Wenli said to his students: "Tan Nian, mint, since I said just now that you should pay attention to the practical analysis and observation in this area, there are so many antique fragments now, you have practiced here and put them together completely, it can be regarded as a favor to Xiao Ran!"
Hearing this, Xu Ran nodded hurriedly: "Brother Tan Nian, Sister Mint, what the teacher said is right, just take it as a favor for me, there are so many fragments, I don't know if I have to fight until the Year of the Monkey!"
Xia Tanhe knew that what the teacher said was already a fact, and he couldn't refute it anymore, so he said to Xu Ran angrily: "It's okay to help you fight, so how can you compensate me?"
Xu Ran said: "Then what do you say?"
"Okay, you come out, let me beat me up!"
"It's absolutely not going to work, is it okay to change it?"
"Then I won't beat you, just let me pinch it!"
"No, no, no, change one!"
"Alas, you still dare to pick and choose, believe it or not, old lady......"
"Alright, alright!"
Song Wenli saw that this student who didn't stop was playing around again, so he stopped: "Mint, don't make trouble, in fact, this time I went to Shahaigouzi, there will be several teams of teachers and students majoring in archaeology from colleges and universities in different provinces, as well as people from several professional archaeological institutions in the society, and we are just one of them."
At that time, the cleaning and identification of the ancient relics unearthed in the large ancient tomb will have to be completed by you young people, in case there are any mistakes and mistakes at that time, which will affect the reputation of the archaeology department of our Western Capital Jianda.
Now there is an opportunity to practice in advance, you should take it seriously, and you can also take advantage of this multi-party joint archaeological action, so that you can stand out in the archaeological field and accumulate some fame, which will be beneficial to your future development in the industry......"
