Chapter 50: Professionalism
Seeing that the person with the hairpin blushed and lowered his head, Zhang Gong took Professor Chen's words and continued: "The challenge that Professor Chen said is actually a moral challenge and a challenge of conscience, and it is also a test of our professionalism!" There are many ancient tombs with jade, gold and silver that are fine and soft, which one of the dark artifacts will not affect our thinking? Speaking of this, I will tell my own true story, in 72 years, I followed the master to Qinghai to carry out the excavation of a large tomb, which is an underground tomb of the Qing Dynasty, and it is also the first time I went down to the tomb, directly through the underworld, there are a lot of things that can not be named, the first time the tension at the tomb was quickly pressed down by the treasure in front of him, where will the tension and fear come from, looking at the gold and silver treasures can not take care of fear and nervousness, All that filled my mind was the excitement of gold, silver, and jewelry; While the master was talking to people, I was fascinated by a jade, but under the statement, that mystery refers to the pattern on it, which has nothing to do with the substance, and the more I look at it, the more I feel that the pattern is interesting, and I am a little reluctant, so I quietly put it in the bag, and the action was also seen by the master; The master didn't scold me, but after communicating with people, he called me aside and asked me if I thought the ancient craftsmanship was very exquisite, and I didn't react that the master found out that I stole the jade, so I thought how to answer, and then the master said, the things in the ancient tomb in the legend can not be taken, and if you take it, it will be evil, although it is superstitious, but he has a certain social truth, for example, if you take an underground thing, although no one will pay attention, after all, there may be countless cultural relics in a tomb that can be held, But after you take it once, your demons will be opened, and you will have a second time, the first time is love and interest, and the second and third times, you will become greedy, after all, human desires are endless; Hearing that, I understood, the master found out that I stole the jade, I blushed and admitted the mistake to the master, I told him that the pattern on it was too exquisite, as if telling a story, so I stole it, the master did not blame me, but enlightened me that it is normal, the most sincere side of human nature, if you really like it, the master told me a way, that is, the more you like it, the more you have to do everything possible to crack him, read him, only by understanding him will there be no excuses and reasons, and there will be no wrong choice! I thank my master! Okay, that's a long way off, I'll summarize my personal summary, when I dismantled the Jiugongtu organ today, I found that this mechanism should be the most complete and with considerable scientific and technological content during the Han Dynasty, the whole locking system design is concise and clear, this discovery can be said to be groundbreaking, the mechanism here will be the main tomb and the back room to figure out and then I will personally dismantle, to the comrades said that the chain flap mechanism is removed, I personally suggest that all the cladding on the top is up, and it will be made into glass in the future, so that people can know what it is like below at a glance, This is determined by the locality, after all, whether to use this ancient tomb as a museum or tourism development and so on is a local matter, and we can't participate, and we don't have the right to participate; In the ear chamber, we have found more today, and all the cultural relics are intact, so I won't say much, tomorrow in the main tomb, I hope you can keep today's state, don't move, the main tomb is generally no mechanism, if there is, it is basically a deadly organ that is broken by a fish and a net. Listening to Zhang Gong tell a story that I don't know whether it is true or false to guide everyone, Feng Weiguo knew that he was deliberately enlightening the person who stole the hairpin, and after Zhang Gong finished speaking, Feng Weiguo took over the words: "Professor Chen and Zhang Gong have given us countless enlightenment and guidance during this time, and we people say ugly, although they are all studying archaeology, they all have different levels of titles and identities, not to mention experience, that is, what we can know about professional knowledge is nothing compared to them, and what is the situation of archaeology on our side now, We all know that in front of Professor Chen and them, we are apprentices, and many things are unknown to us, so let's not take our past achievements too seriously, in addition to the basic business, we learn more from Professor Chen and his party, so what do we learn? The quality of archaeologists and the spirit of archaeologists. Archaeology is not only to excavate bottles and jars, gold and silver, but also to excavate our own practice! ”
"Director Feng said well, archaeology must first be self-cultivation, only the state of mind is qualified to be pure, only the heart is pure to allow us to discover history without distractions, today in the ear chamber I seem to be taken back to the past, I seem to hear the metal sound of the blade impacting, I seem to smell the smell of blood, I seem to see the soldiers fighting on the field; These feelings are not just conjecture, but through the ear chamber of those equipment to speculate, ring knife, hook inlay, armor, shield, bow and arrow, which weapon has the memories of that era, today to you have told the source and use of those weapons, I believe you also understand that the spear and the shield are symbiotic, without the spear there can be no shield, the long weapon gradually withdrew from the stage of history, but the weapons that replaced it are more and more, the shield, but basically there are not too many changes, the shield we see today is the Western Han Dynasty, There are still many obvious differences with the shield in the early Eastern Han Dynasty, in addition to the pattern on the outer layer of copper skin can be confirmed, the shape of the shield is also different. In the past, a student asked me if fighting in the past was desperate, and I told him that as long as you understand the use of those weapons, you won't say anything like that, the combination of long weapons, short weapons, and long-range attack weapons is quite good at that time, and the battlefield environment is quite good, and we need to interpret history through limited discoveries to scientifically and boldly speculate, archaeology is what we make the past reproduce," Zhu Gong paused and looked around, looking at the passionate expressions, Zhu Gong continued: "History will not change, The neighing of horses and swords on the battlefield is not the reasoning of posterity after a single corroboration, history is rigorous, and pseudo-scholars endanger the correct understanding of history in society, but also blasphemy against the profession! When we excavate ancient tombs, if they are purely for any material, it is the same as Professor Chen said, it is a tomb robber. Today in the Hades Temple and the ear room to see everyone's learning momentum is very good, in this period of cooperation can also be seen in your professional status, we are all like this step by step, there is no shortcut to archaeology, all the shortcuts on the TV are blown away, because he is not able to really do the excavation work, can only promote their so-called knowledge, is it useful? If they are talking nonsense, it is a bit too demeaning to them, they have the foundation, but they have no eyesight, where does the archaeological eyesight come from? It is the result of combining one's own theoretical foundation with practice again and again. Of course, I'm not attacking all the bricks on TV, I'm only talking about a small part of them, most of them can still be recognized, they are nothing more than cooperating with the TV station for a show, their professionalism has nothing to do with what we are talking about tonight, a serious video behind an identity card is not an achievement of knowledge, the achievement of archaeology is that you can see yesterday from today, and see part of the story from it, this is what we are doing today! ”
