"When a new civilization carves out new lands and migrates partially or wholly to new homes, it will be challenged by new, untamed natural environments. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoWestern civilization was challenged by forests, rainfall, and cold north of the Alps at its origins, while its predecessor, ancient Greece, did not. At the origin of the ancient Indian civilization, it was challenged by the humid tropical forests of the Ganges Valley, but its elder Sumerian civilization did not encounter it in the distant branches of the Indus Valley......

The long-term comfort of the natural environment does not allow civilization to move forward, it also needs the stimulation of difficult environments. Primitive civilization developed and grew step by step by overcoming difficulties. Let's talk about the Chinese civilization first, everyone must have heard the story of Dayu's water control, and the flooding of the Yellow River brought endless disasters to the Chinese ancestors...... Okay, that's all for today's lesson. ”

Zhou Hexuan patted the chalk ash on his hand, put away the handouts and announced the end of class.

Wu Jinding quickly ran over and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, this is the handout from last time, and my classmates and I have already copied it." ”

"Well, everyone still knows the words I wrote, right?" Zhou Hexuan asked with a smile.

Wu Jinding sweated wildly, it was good not to mention this stubble, as soon as he mentioned Zhou Hexuan's words, he was extremely nerve-wracking. Not to mention the ugly writing, there are all kinds of shortages, and many times you can only guess.

Zhou Hexuan handed him the handout of this class and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

Wu Jinding came back to his senses: "That's right, the school has approved archaeological funds, and Professor Li is going to take us to Shandong to excavate the ruins." ”

"When are you leaving?" Zhou Hexuan asked.

"Just at the beginning of next month," Wu Jinding said excitedly, "isn't Mr. Zhou interested?" Let's take a look! ”

"Okay." Zhou Hexuan thought about it, and it was too late to go to Shandong in early November for a run, and then come back to get married.

Five days later, the archaeological team of Longshan Ruins officially set off.

Mr. Li Ji, the "founder of Chinese archaeology", is the leader of the team, and most of the team members are teachers and students of Tsinghua University. Even He Shiji and Wei Juxian, who had just graduated from Tsinghua University, took the initiative to ask to join the archaeological team.

Everyone brought all kinds of archaeological tools and set off from Beiping, waiting for them to be the earth-shattering discovery of the Chinese archaeological community.

At this moment, the students of Peking University are still engaged in the school protection movement, and Li Shizeng's education reform is like a quagmire.

Because the situation in Shandong was so chaotic, the archaeological team had to take a detour to take the same road that Zhou Hexuan had taken to Shandong - from Tianjin to Qingdao by boat, and then along the Jiaoji line to Jinan.

It's funny to say that Jinan is still occupied by the Japanese, and Sun Liangcheng, the chairman of Shandong Province, is aggrieved enough.

Whether it is by boat or train, the journey is very smooth and fast, and after arriving at Jinan Station, you can only take horse-drawn carriages and ox carts.

It's just that the situation in Shandong makes everyone feel bad, although the disaster situation has improved, but what you see on the road is still very desolate. Many villages are directly empty, and there are no people at all, and the situation of "white bones exposed in the wilderness, and no rooster crowing for thousands of miles" really happened in front of you.

Zhou Hexuan thought of the Central Plains War the year after tomorrow, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Shandong, which has finally recovered some vitality, will be beaten again by then, and the people of Shandong in these years are really bitter.

On the rickety ox cart, He Shiji asked: "Teacher, I heard that there are bandits everywhere in Shandong, there should be no accidents in this archaeology, right?" ”

"Phew! Say less gloomy words. Another student named Wang Jing hurriedly shouted.

Wu Jinding said with a smile: "Don't worry, this part of Licheng is still relatively peaceful." There is a leader from the Red Gun Society named Huang Ziming, who set up a security regiment last year and occupied all the counties around Jinan, and the bandits everywhere were wiped out by him. ”

Wei Juxian said worriedly: "I'm afraid that the security group is no different from bandits." ”

Li Ji turned around and asked Zhou Hexuan: "Didn't Mingcheng say that the local government has been contacted?" What about them? ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled: "You'll know when you get there." ”

In the anxiety of the archaeological team, the convoy soon came to a place called Dongjia Town. Everyone was about to enter the town to rest, eat something and continue on their way, only to find that there were troops stationed at the entrance of the town.

"Set up a card to collect money?" Li Ji got up and looked at it, and said uncertainly.

Zhou Hexuan smiled silently, got out of the car and strode towards those soldiers, shouting from afar: "I am Zhou Hexuan!" ”

A person who looked like an officer immediately ran from the opposite side, rushed to Zhou Hexuan and saluted in a proper manner: "Zou Huaiping, commander of the third battalion of the Luzhong Security Regiment, is waiting for Mr. Zhou and all the university scholars here on the order of Commander Huang. Please Mr. Zhou instructed! ”

"Well, that's good," Zhou Hexuan turned around and shouted, "Come here, they're their own people." ”

The archaeological team members approached boldly at this time, and everyone was very surprised to see that the soldiers were extremely respectful to Zhou Hexuan.

Li Ji said with a smile: "Mingcheng really travels all over the world." ”

Zhou Hexuan casually explained: "Huang Ziming, the head of the security regiment, is my friend. ”

Wu Jinding suggested: "Mr. Zhou, do we need to visit Head Huang?" ”

"No, he's probably busy." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

The battalion commander named Zou Huaiping said: "Commander Huang is raising military salaries, and he said that he will personally visit Mr. Zhou in Longshan Town another day." ”

"Well, let's go." Zhou Hexuan nodded.

After having lunch in Dongjia Town, they were escorted by the security team to Longshan Town, where they stayed that night.

Because the location of the ruins involved farmland, Li Ji first visited the mayor of the town, paid money to obtain the consent of the landlord, and then gathered people to start excavation.

More than 20 farmers were hired, and digging archaeological pits and other manual work could not be done by the team members themselves.

In fact, there is no need to dig a pit at all.

Not long after arriving on the ground, He Shiji excitedly lay on the ground and shouted: "I found a fragment of black pottery!" ”

"This thing is black pottery?" Zhou Hexuan ran over quickly, only to see He Shiji carefully holding the pottery piece in his hand. In Zhou Hexuan's opinion, this is just a very ordinary pottery shard, and he usually dismisses it even if he sees it.

He Shiji carefully wiped the pottery shards with a rag, and he said: "I have heard Wu Xuedi introduce the situation, and the pottery here is unique and is the first discovery in the world's archaeological community. We can't burn this quality of black pottery now, you can see how thin the wall (less than 1 mm) is, and the ornamentation...... Hey, unlike the checkered pattern that Senior Brother Wu said, this black pottery piece is a rope pattern. ”

The black pottery unearthed from the Longshan culture, its ingenious production process, was not completely deciphered until the end of the 80s, and the wisdom of the Chinese ancestors is really amazing.

He Shiji and Wu Jinding immediately took other students to look for naturally unearthed black pottery cultural relics.

Li Ji was in charge of surveying the geology, and Wei Juxian took out a strangely shaped shovel, selected a piece of land and drilled below.

Students who like to read tomb robbery novels probably know that this thing is called Luoyang shovel.

And the first to use the Luoyang shovel to archaeology is Wei Juxian in front of him. He was a recent graduate of Tsinghua University, and half a year ago he saw tomb robbers using Luoyang shovels, and he was amazed and had an idea.

Don't look at this archaeological team is basically a student, but if you bring one out at random, they will all be well-known figures in the future Chinese archaeological community.
