Under the guidance and popularization of science by Xie Jinhua, Jin Zhu realized that a general academic seminar is a seminar held by a certain society or a group of researchers with the same interests for a certain academic research, and this kind of seminar usually requires the publisher to submit an abstract or a sample of the paper, and the seminar members will review whether the academic research results are valid or approved for publication.

Since Jin Zhu's papers have been published in the university's journals and have been reprinted by many magazines at home and abroad, and have attracted the attention of many historians at home and abroad, the purpose of these university seminars is to sit together and discuss with a professional perspective how much historiographical foundation Jin Zhu's two papers have and whether they can gain a foothold in the professional field.

For this reason, Jin Zhu learned that not only in China, but also abroad There are so many people who are interested in the history of Khitan and Western Xia, and some even spend years or even decades of energy to find the footprints of Khitan or Western Xia people, but their luck is not as good as Jin Zhu.

There is little controversy about the discovery of Khitan descendants, and in addition to the history of the Khitan that they told orally, Jin Zhu also produced a lot of textual materials that record how their ancestors followed the Mongols to climb mountains and wade through rivers to this southwestern frontier, and how they escaped from the hands of the Mongols and lived in seclusion in this secluded hill, living almost isolated from the world for hundreds of years.

These texts that record their history are the same as those of the Khitan characters treasured in the Liao Dynasty Memorial Museum, and because of their isolation, the descendants of these Khitans still maintain many of their own traditions, such as clothing, headdresses, sacrifices, etc.

Of course, due to the great differences in the regional environment, their architecture, food, housing, and survival have changed greatly.

However, these are not the point, any nation will have some changes of one kind or another after hundreds of years of changes, and society is always progressing.

But the article "Restoring a Real Western Xia" caused more controversy, because the current historiographical data about the historical record of the Western Xia is relatively small, and this nation has long died out in the long river of history, although the archaeology found a lot of words and pictures left by them, but the problem is that these Western Xia characters can not be completely cracked at present, and what can be inferred from only a few pictures is limited after all.

Therefore, it is widely believed that the evidence for Jin Zhu's paper is insufficient.

This is not an ordinary debate competition or an ordinary graduation thesis, you can let your imagination play to it, this is a very rigorous academic paper, Jin Zhu must come up with really convincing arguments.

Since Jin Zhu's identity is still a senior student at Imperial Capital University, Xie Jinhua consulted the leaders of the department, and the leaders of the department consulted the leaders of the school, and finally decided to organize an academic seminar on the history of Western Xia in the name of Imperial Capital University, and invited the senior members of the seminar who invited Jin Zhu to Imperial University, and at the same time, he also sent invitation letters to professors from several famous universities at home and abroad who specialized in Western Xia.

Therefore, the standard of this seminar is quite high, no less than that of an academic seminar conducted by a famous professor or a well-known expert.

For this reason, Jin Zhu's pressure is a bit great, on the one hand, he is afraid that the information he has prepared is incomplete and not enough to convince others; On the other hand, they are afraid that they will not be able to explain the source and origin of their knowledge well.

Fortunately, in order to take care of her, the leaders of the department gave her a month to prepare, this month, in addition to normal classes, Jinzhu basically spent the rest of the time in the library, and had to go to the imperial capital library or the national library on Saturdays and Sundays, because the resources of the school were limited after all.

A month later, Jin Zhu walked into the small hall of the department, and there were about 60 participants in this seminar, in addition to the teachers and professors of the history department of the university, there were also a number of senior professors specializing in Tangut history from Q University, Renmin University, Normal University, Nanjing University, Sichuan University and other universities, in addition to several researchers of Tangut history from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, the United States and other countries.

At the meeting, Jin Zhu first read out her revised thesis, and then began to quote the classics, most of her arguments were found from the historical books, classics or legendary texts of the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties and the Ten Kingdoms and the Song Dynasty, because the legendary texts not only have text introductions, but also illustrations of that era.

Jin Zhu had seen such illustrated texts in her previous life, so this time she also put her energy into finding these books.

In addition, while in Ningxia, Jin Zhu also visited the murals that had been handed down from the tombs of the Tangut kings, and she would infer the characteristics of their costumes, headdresses, and social classes based on the figures on the murals.

Also, when she was in Boston some time ago, Jin Zhu also went to the library of Harvard University to consult materials, and her thesis was completed in the library of Harvard University, and after returning to China, she revised it twice under the guidance of Xie Jinhua and Xie Jinhua's doctoral supervisor, Professor Deng.

Of course, Jin Zhu also benefited a lot from the local chronicles of Ningxia, Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places that he consulted with Xie Jinhua last year, and there are also some introductions to that period of history.

In front of a large number of detailed materials, Jin Zhu's eloquence and articles conquered the vast majority of the participants.

After the speech, to Jin Zhu's surprise, in addition to normal academic discussions, everyone generally questioned how many classics and historical books she had read.

You must know that many old scholars who have done research work all their lives may not have such rich historical knowledge as Jinzhu.

"Miss Yang, I heard that you are also very interested in the history and culture of the Khitan, I have read the paper you wrote, can you ask what prompted you to look for that village again after three years?" A Japanese researcher asked Kim Joo after the organizers reminded the workshop.

At first, he scoffed at the article written by Jin Zhu about finding the descendants of the Khitan, but after careful study, he felt that it was still very different from the previous sensational articles, so he specially took people to Yun Province to find the village, and after many researches, he believed that it was indeed the descendants of the Khitans.

Since then, he has become interested in the first person who discovered the descendants of the Khitan, and specially studied some information about Jinzhu, feeling that this girl is really not simple, and she has so many achievements at a young age, not only familiar with Khitan history, but also familiar with Western Xia history, and more familiar with Tang history, and has read several novels written by Jin Zhu, he believes that Jin Zhu's understanding of Tang history is definitely not inferior to him, a person who has studied Tang history all his life.

After listening to the translation's words, Jin Zhu thought for a few seconds, and said with a smile: "It's because of their headdress and costumes, as well as a sickle engraved with a wolf, all of which tell me that this is definitely an ethnic minority from the north, so I became interested in them." ”

Then Jin Zhu told the experience of going to Yun Province during the summer vacation.

"I am a student of history, and I am interested in the migration and change of ethnic groups, and I have always wanted to find an opportunity to visit that village again.

"It's not just luck, if you don't have a lot of historical knowledge, you simply won't be obsessed with them all the time." Another professor said in Chinese.

"I wonder what your future focus will be?" It's the Japanese professor again.

"I didn't think about this, after graduating from university, I will be a student of Professor Deng, continue to study for a few years, and enrich myself."

"Are you interested in studying abroad for a few years?" The professor in the United States asked.

"I'm sorry, I'm a student of Chinese history, so there's no need to go abroad to study for a few years, after all, we are the authentic inheritors of Chinese history. Of course, if I have the opportunity, I would like to go to a foreign university, because for various historical reasons, some historical materials are scattered abroad, and many rare or rare books are treasured in your library, and I hope that I can have the opportunity to read them. ”

"Miss Yang, I think you can do research with your talents, are you interested in coming to our school to be a professor of Chinese linguistics?" A professor from South Korea asked.

"If you don't have that in mind for the time being, you won't be sure in the next few years."

"Miss Yang, many historians believe that Japan has a deep relationship with your Chinese nation, saying that our ancestors are Xu Fu and his boys and girls who were sent out by Qin Shi Huang to find the elixir of life, I want to know your opinion on this issue." This is another Japanese professor.

"Isn't that a bit off-topic?" Jin Zhu glanced at the organizer who was sitting on the front stage.

"It's okay, the seminar is long over, it's free time." The other party laughed.

"I don't know much about the history of the Qin Dynasty, but I know that Xu Fu's eastward journey to Japan must be a recognized fact in the historical circles, as for the origin of Xu Fu and your ancestors, it depends on how you say it, but one thing is certain, your cultural inheritance must come from the Chinese civilization, I don't know if you think so?" Jin Zhu pushed the ball over.

"Off topic, Miss Yang, what I want to know is why do you think that something engraved on a sickle can represent the totem of his nation?" A professor with a Taiwanese accent asked.

"Because I am also an ethnic minority, I know that we Miao people like to engrave their own national totems on silver ornaments, embroider on clothing, carve on lintels, and engrave on reed sheng pillars, I think, each ethnic group has its own imprint that they want to strive to remember."

A good seminar turned into a question answering from professors, and these professors asked a variety of questions, some related to academics, some unrelated to academics, but these professors had a common idea, that is, they all wanted to receive Jinzhu under their doors.

This student is so brilliant, being his teacher is definitely a win-win process, and it is easy to produce research results by being able to communicate with Jinzhu in teaching, learn from each other's strengths, and make up for each other's weaknesses.

It's a pity that Jin Zhu was set early.

Since the seminar was held in the department's small hall, it was broadcast live on the school's intranet, so Jinzhu's performance at the seminar quickly spread through the Internet.

Others were shocked in addition to admiration and admiration for Jin Zhu's performance, but Kang Xuexi fell into deep thought after watching it.

He once again suspected Jinzhu's identity.

Jin Zhu is familiar with this history is precisely the history that Kang Xuexi is most familiar with, at that time, although the Western Xia did not establish a state, but also had a regime close to independence, and because of the division and turmoil of the Central Plains regime, there were many invasions of the lands of neighboring countries.

There is also the Khitan, the Khitan had already established the country at that time, and had always coveted the land of the Central Plains, and he and Jinzhu's father and brother had fought with the Khitans or the Tanguts more than once.

Therefore, he has every reason to believe that the reason why Jin Zhu was able to find the descendants of the Khitan and restore the customs and customs of Western Xia was definitely with the help of the knowledge of the previous world.

Originally, Kang Xuexi wanted to go to Jin Zhu again to confirm, but unfortunately, his son suddenly caught a cold in the past few days and caused acute pneumonia in children, Kang Xuexi couldn't spare time, and he was not in the mood to think about anything else.

Another reason is that Kang Xuexi does not have enough evidence to refute Jin Zhu, because the last time he asked Jin Zhu for verification, Jin Zhu tried his best to deny his identity, and this time he also couldn't come up with any new evidence, all he had was a feeling, and his feeling came from his previous life.

And he is extremely unwilling to expose his secret first without knowing Jin Zhu's identity, and he is also a person who is afraid of trouble.

Jin Zhu didn't know Kang Xuexi's entanglement, because Li Xiang came back.

Since Li Xiang came back on a plane with Li Ruizhao, Yu Yan and Old Man Li, he received a call from Li Pujia the day after he returned home.

Actually, this is really a coincidence, Li Xiang also got on the plane and found out that they were also on the plane, but they were business class and he was economy class.

But Li Pujia didn't believe that this was a coincidence.

In addition, she also wanted to meet this legendary nephew, so she called Li Xiang, and this phone number was naturally asked if Li Ruizhao wanted to come.

"Zhuzhu, do you think I should go to see her?" After receiving the call, Li Xiang hugged Jin Zhu and asked.

He was really tired of the endless entanglements of the Li family, but he was worried that if he didn't show up, the other party would not spill his anger on Jin Zhu's head.

"Ah Xiang, it's not a big deal to be willful once in a while, she can't hurt us, it's a big deal that I stay in the United States with you, her hands are not long enough."

Jin Zhu knew that Li Xianggang had signed advertising endorsements with those big companies last year for another year, and got more than 20 million endorsement fees, plus 10 million yuan for the creative design of the theme park he sold to Kang Xuexi, which he regularly stored in Jin Zhu's account, enough for them to live decently in any country.

Not to mention, Jin Zhu herself is also very famous, and after this seminar, three overseas universities sent her verbal invitations to teach Chinese history. (To be continued.) )
