Section 5 Exhumation of a cultural site

"How do you know so much about the sturgeon in Thousand Island Lake? Wren Holder said in surprise.

"We'll find out later. Chen Yan said.

The two came to the lake, the lake was calm, Chen Yan opened the lid of the bucket, picked up a piece of fish meat and threw it into the lake, less than 1 minute, only to see the sound of splashing on the water surface, the fins of the fish cut open the water, a Qiandao Lake sturgeon swallowed the fish meat in one bite, the movement on the lake surface became bigger and bigger, in just a few minutes, more than 30 Qiandao Lake sturgeons appeared.

"It's!!" Wren Holder's eyes almost popped out.

"This is the Qiandao Lake sturgeon, a group of 32 sturgeon. Chen Yan said, a small Qiandao Lake sturgeon swam towards Chen Yan, flicked its tail, and splashed Chen Yan all over, the little guy was very naughty.

Chen Yan threw a piece of meat into the air, and a 7?8-meter-long Qiandao Lake sturgeon rose into the water, and the scales were shining golden under the refraction of the rising sun, and the Qiandao Lake sturgeon swallowed the meat in one bite, and then smashed it heavily on the surface of the water, splashing on the surface of the water, splashing 2 to 3 meters high.

"I think the name of the Qiandao Lake sturgeon is more appropriate, it rises 3 to 4 meters high from the surface of the water, and the golden scales are refracted by the morning sun. Wren Holder said.

"I think so, too. Chen Yan said, while grabbing a handful of minced meat from the bucket and throwing it towards the lake, the lake was full of rattling sounds, covered with a large number of fish, other fish were also grabbing food, the Qiandao Lake sturgeon was too fierce, opened its jagged mouth and swallowed the meat along with other fish.

"The sturgeon in Qiandao Lake is more ferocious than the shark. Wren Holder said.

"Yes, they're smarter than sharks too. Chen Yan said.

……

After feeding the fish, Wren Holder regretted that he did not bring a camera, nor a mobile phone, and did not take pictures of the sturgeon in Qiandao Lake, but he asked Chen Yan to allow him to take a few people with him tomorrow morning, and Chen Yan agreed.

The excited Wren Holder had a big catch today, the Qiandao Lake sturgeon is definitely the largest freshwater fish on the planet, the fierce temperament is even more than the shark, smarter than the dolphin, this is a giant fish that fascinates ichthyologists more than the Amazonian arapaima.

After saying goodbye to Wren Holder, Chen Yan returned to the wooden house and made fish porridge in the morning, the fish in Qiandao Lake is very delicious, Chen Yan likes to eat fish, Chen Yan's cooking skills are learned from his father, and his father will be found to be a chef for red and white ceremonies in the village, although Chen Yan's cooking skills are slightly inferior to the chef in the hotel, who is cooking hotel dishes, however, Chen Yan is good at making game, local vegetables, and hometown dishes.

Chen Yan's life on the island is very simple, leisurely, Chen Yan likes to read, and most of Chen Yan's life is spent reading books.

Chen Yan's temperament has a kind of bookish atmosphere, although his education is only high school, but he is very knowledgeable, has a wide range of experience, if you talk to Chen Yan about calculus, college physics and other professional knowledge, Chen Yan must be empty, however, talking about literature, history and other knowledge Chen Yan can talk very happily, even if he talks about economics with Chen Yan, Chen Yan can also say his own unique views.

In addition to reading, Chen Yan takes care of the ginseng garden in his spare time, the ginseng in the garden grows very well, the leaves are plump, the ginseng garden will be an important income for Chen Yan in the future, Chen Yan still has time to pan for gold in the bead space, the gold mine at the foot of the volcano is very rich, the gold sand is layered in layers, every time the volcano erupts, it is paved with a layer of gold sand, sometimes the volcano will erupt large gold nuggets, Chen Yan found a piece of dog's head gold weighing 32.7kg,' The income from the gold rush made Chen Yan a billionaire, Chen Yan sold gold for 60 million, and nearly 70 million worth of gold was melted and minted into gold ingots and stored in the bead space.

The next day, when Chen Yan arrived at the lake with a bucket, there were dense crowds of people gathered here, and Chen Yan posted a picture of feeding the sturgeon of Qiandao Lake in the Q/Q group yesterday.

"Mr. Chen, dig up something at the villa construction site. The person in charge of the construction party called Chen Yan.

"Something. Chen Yan said.

"Dig out some pottery, stone and jade, and come and have a look. ”

"Okay, I'll be there in half an hour. Chen Yan said.

By the time Chen Yan arrived at the construction site, the construction had stopped, and some workers had gathered under an excavator and were talking.

Chen Yan walked over.

"Hello, Mr. Chen. "Qian Dafu is the person in charge of the construction party.

"Hello, there's something dug up. Chen Yan said.

"While our workers were digging, they went down with a hoe and dug a burial pit. Qian Dafu said.

Chen Yan felt a little unlucky, you must know that the villa was built above, and the villa was built on a group of burial pits.

Qian Dafu continued, "In the burial pit, we found some pottery, stone and jade artifacts that accompanied the burial. ”

Chen Yan picked up a piece of pottery and looked at it, it was a clay pot, gray-brown, with a beautiful water ripple decoration carved on the surface.

Chen Yan picked up another piece of jade, the shape of the jade is relatively large, the shape is a double-headed eagle with a grimace, carved very exquisitely, the round carving, openwork and other skills embodied in this jade are very much better than the plane carving of Liangzhu culture.

Chen Yan speculated that this may be a prehistoric cultural site, dating later than the Liangzhu culture unearthed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with the exquisiteness of clay pots, firing skills, ornamentation and jade carving skills, this culture was around the Xia Dynasty.

Chen Yan asked the workers to continue excavating, for a few hours, excavated more than a dozen burial pits, unearthed a large number of pottery, stone tools, jade, excavated laterite steps, cut and polished large stones, etc., it can be concluded that this is a site, this site is an extraordinary site, more than a dozen burial pits unearthed more than 70 pieces of jade, hundreds of pieces of pottery, it is conceivable that the richness of this culture, this may be a prehistoric culture that is not inferior to the Liangzhu culture that shocked China and foreign countries.

Chen Yan did not have the idea of taking these cultural relics as an existing one, which is unrealistic.

First, these texts should be owned by the state.

Second, the most important value of these cultural relics and sites lies in the study of prehistoric culture, not the cultural relics themselves, the most important value of a cultural relics is reflected in the artistic value, for example, an official kiln of the Qing Dynasty can be auctioned for millions or even tens of millions of sky-high prices, and a piece of pottery held by Chen Yan at this time, the pottery is a complete pottery pot, engraved with grid patterns, and its value may only be tens of thousands.

It's not that the older it is, more than 6,000 years ago, the more precious it is, there is no such saying in the art market, prehistoric pottery, jade, and stone tools are very rough and of little value.
