For Zhang Tianyuan, unless the food is really unpalatable, he can eat it, even if he has a lot of money now, but he is really hungry, a steamed bun and a pickle can satisfy him.

"Okay, you don't mind, let's go, take my car, it's not easy to park there, it's not good to go too much." Wu Tong took Zhang Tianyuan to a barbecue restaurant outside the school for a barbecue.

Not to mention, in this place where the per capita consumption is about 100 yuan, the environment is really good, and the taste is also good, which makes Zhang Tianyuan feel very satisfied.

After eating, Wu Tong took Zhang Tianyuan to take Huaqing University around, and finally returned to the School of Archaeology.

Later, because of the increasing importance of archaeological excavation work and the rise of antique fever, many students found this interesting and chose this major.

Of course, there are some people who really like archaeology, and the subsequent rise of the tomb robbery novel craze has set off a wave of archaeology, and many students choose archaeology majors just to experience the excitement and fun described in the novel.

But your ideals are very plump, but the reality is very skinny, and the archaeology major is not as fun as you imagined.

If you apply for archaeology just because you like the scenes in the novel, you will be very disappointed, and only those who really like this major can continue to study.

After all, archaeology is not a simple subject, it contains so much more than that.

Listening to Wu Tong, nearly half of the students who applied for various majors in the School of Archaeology of Huaqing University finally chose to change majors after entering the school, which has to be said to be a very sad thing, but the reality is that this major is even now. It is also an unpopular major.

In fact, the main reason for this situation is that ordinary people still have problems, and there are also problems with students' understanding of archaeology, tomb robbing, and treasure appreciation. In the eyes of many people, archaeology is the so-called public tomb robbery, and people who have this statement are really ridiculous and hateful.

There are also people who are a little bit better than these people. But it also equates archaeology with the so-called antique identification, and thinks that archaeology is the excavation and protection of these antique artifacts.

In fact, the difference is quite large.

There are many subdivisions of archaeology, for example, Zhang Tianyuan studied historical archaeology when he was an undergraduate.

According to the time period, archaeology should be divided into prehistoric archaeology and historical archaeology.

The research scope of prehistoric archaeology is the history of mankind before writing, while the research scope of historical archaeology is limited to the history of mankind after the written record, and the boundary between the two lies in the invention of writing.

Zhang Tianyuan's purpose in studying historical archaeology is actually to rely on this knowledge to identify antiques and antiques, and he went to this major to a certain extent because of the collection fever, but he can get to this day, of course, thanks to the six-character truth and earth.

Before going to college. Zhang Tianyuan should say that there are still a lot of antiques and antiques that he touches, if he has to say that he is a connoisseur, it is also reliable, but his weakness lies in the lack of professional theoretical knowledge, and many times the identification of antiques and antiques is all based on experience.

Because of this, he chose to study historical archaeology, from which he learned about the antique cultural toys that appeared in Chinese history after the invention of writing. His mind is not pure in the first place, in order to make money. But he thinks he's right, why does this person not make money?

His family was so poor at that time that he couldn't even afford a TV, and when he saw that other people's homes had TVs, he would naturally be envious.

Of course, four years of college. Zhang Tianyuan rarely has the opportunity to touch antiques, and the result is that he has become a bit more theoretical than practical.

Fortunately, he didn't go straight to that kind of thing after graduation, but chose to play games. And at that time, the game of identifying antiques was still very popular, even if it was really eye-catching, it was not afraid, the big deal was to lose a little game currency.

In that game, he used his knowledge to take advantage of many advantages, so he was able to become a professional gamer.

Later, he was injured, and after the injury, he had the earth qi and the six-character truth, and then he was not afraid to look away from the antiques.

Relying on a powerful plug-in, coupled with the knowledge he has learned, Zhang Tianyuan has been thriving in the past two years.

But the more he came into contact with the trade, the more he realized that he knew too little. After talking to those doctoral students, he learned that in fact, in addition to prehistoric archaeology and historical archaeology according to the time range, archaeology actually has more special majors, such as art archaeology.

Qin Feixue's major is art archaeology.

Archaeology and ancient art history often share common sources. Many objects of study in ancient art history, from Paleolithic cave paintings and petroglyphs to paintings, sculptures, statues, various crafts, shrines, temples and cave temples of various eras, are relics and relics. Methods such as typology and chronology in archaeology are also applicable to the study of ancient art history.

However, as a branch of archaeology, art archaeology is based on the standpoint of historical science, and the goal of research is to restore ancient social culture. This is a principled difference from art historians who study various works of art from the perspective of aesthetics as an ideology.

Since the research object of art archaeology is from the Paleolithic period to various historical eras, it belongs to the scope of both prehistoric archaeology and historical archaeology. In addition, since most of the various works of art that are relics and relics are found from field investigation and excavation, the relationship between art archaeology and field archaeology is also quite close.

There are also religious archaeology, underwater archaeology, aerial archaeology, and so on. This is what Zhang Tianyuan didn't know before, and there are still too few things to learn in the four years of undergraduate, which is also the reason why he chose to major in geology and archaeology.

He had a lot of basic knowledge to add.

"Tian Yuan, you said that if an archaeology graduate like us goes to appreciate treasures, is it really not good?" Wu Tong asked suddenly.

"I said Tongshu, your question is very strange, I remember yesterday when I was drinking, you still said that the head is the Tao, why do you ask me today?" Zhang Tianyuan asked in confusion.

"You're more professional." Wu Tong said with a smile.

"I'll tell you this, this thing, as you said yesterday, it is necessary to have more contact, only when you have more contact and know the characteristics of the real thing, can you identify it accurately. Let's take the appraisal of a painting as an example, from the material, painting style, composition, characteristics of brush and ink, the material of the mounting, the age, the seal, the inscription, etc., this is what an appraisal expert should know, otherwise he will not be able to judge the authenticity. But does archaeology teach this? Of course not, now you understand, right? Zhang Tianyuan thought for a while.

"I kind of understand it now, why those treasure connoisseurs are basically only good at one direction or a category of antiques, and if there are more, they can't take care of it, it turns out that it's really not easy." Wu Tong thought for a while.

"Well, your paulownia tree still understands that ceramics alone are enough for a person to study for a lifetime, and even then he may not be able to figure it out when he is dying. There are too many things in it, you not only have to understand the official history, but also need to understand the wild history, the meaning of many antiques, then you can only see it in the wild history, and it is impossible to record it in the official history. Zhang Tianyuan smiled.

"It's no wonder, it looks like I have to strengthen my experience in this area, otherwise I will really work in your museum in the future, and without this experience, it will be a bit inferior." Wu Tong thought for a while.

"I have time to go to Panjiayuan to walk around, practice my eyesight, there is my antique shop, you can see more, learn more, if you want to go, give Feixue a call, she is now the shopkeeper of my antique store, don't look at her young, but she has been with Mr. Li for a long time, but she has been in contact with a lot of antique toys, plus this time has been studying and working in the antique shop, there is an old shopkeeper with it, that level, you can definitely be your teacher." Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

If you can send more outstanding talents to your museum, then Zhang Tianyuan is naturally happy, even if it takes a little more effort, it doesn't matter.

"That's a good dare! I will definitely go. Oops, it's not early, this should be the last class of the day, do you want to go and listen to it? Wu Tong looked at the time and asked.

"What's the lesson?" Zhang Tianyuan decided to listen to the name of the course first and then decide whether to study it or not.

"Archaeology of Religion." Wu Tong replied.

"I've heard you talk about religious archaeology before, what kind of course is this?" Although Zhang Tianyuan is an undergraduate archaeology graduate, in fact, the professional courses in this science are too few and too shallow, and they cannot be compared with graduate students.

"Let me tell you this, this archaeology of religion is the branch of archaeology that focuses on the relics and relics of religion. In ancient times, religious beliefs were prevalent in human society. Therefore, when studying the history of human society, religious activities must also be regarded as an important aspect. ”

"For example, the temples, temples, altars, sacrificial utensils, statues, murals, scriptures and seals of various eras are the specific research objects of religious archaeology, and some of them have a certain artistic value, so the relationship between religious archaeology and art archaeology is also relatively close. Among the archaeology of religion, Christian archaeology in Europe, Islamic archaeology in North Africa and West and Central Asia, and Buddhist archaeology in South and East Asia are the most important, all of which belong to the field of historical archaeology. However, as early as the Paleolithic and Neolithic Ages, human beings had religious activities, and there were certain relics and relics. Therefore, the branch of religious archaeology should also be included in the field of prehistoric archaeology. (To be continued......)
