Chapter 3 Archaeological Ethics / Playing Cards is the Nature of the Nation!
A student's vocation is to learn. Well, just like the duty of a soldier is to obey orders.
However, everyone understands the truth, but there are often deviations in actual implementation, so there will be: "The college entrance examination is still very important, after all, you have to decide which city you will play games online in the next four years", of course, there are many people who hold a view similar to "don't fall in love and go to any university". Single dogs (addicted to games are not exempt from being single after all) and loving dogs love and kill each other, far more than the mouth cannon offensive between the salty party and the sweet party, the dog party and the cat party, and the five cents and cents.
However, since you come to school as a student, you always have to go to school. So, "Introduction to Archaeology" still has 30 seconds to reach the battlefield...... Archaeology is a magical subject, at least in the eyes of these new rookies, but magic often begins with the ordinary, and this may be a lesson in the ordinary.
The class was attended by Wang Bo'an, the vice president of the School of Culture and Museums. Wang Boan is a very characteristic person, which is not only reflected in academic status, professional title and qualifications, but also in his appearance - a man who still has shoulder-length hair at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven must not have too much in everyone's life. Wang Bo'an's long black and gray hair fluttering in the late summer style, like a middle-aged and elderly archaeological enhanced version of Ekin Cheng - please refer to Ekin Cheng's appearance in "The Storm and the Storm", of course, the age must be at least thirty years old.
Ekin Cheng, an enhanced version of middle-aged and elderly archaeology, opened his mouth: "Congratulations, welcome. I congratulate and welcome all of you to the archaeology family. Our course today is called "Introduction to Archaeology", so the first concept we need to determine is ~ what is archaeology. ”
Wang Bo'an said enthusiastically: "Archaeology is a science that uses physical materials to study the ancient history of mankind. It is said that at the end of a life, everyone will recall their own life in an instant, which is a review of one's own journey by individual human beings; Then, at the end of an era, there will always be someone who will use pen and ink to restore and record everything that has withered, which is the exploration of the human group's own process. This strong desire to explore our own history has enabled us to have wisdom, history, and everything, and finally become the spirit of all things—man. ”
However, the students who have long been accustomed to high school cramming teaching have expressed their acceptance of this retreat-style teaching method, and the girls sitting in the front row turned their pens blankly, not knowing what to take notes, and the boys in the back row have begun to desert.
It may be that Ji Yun poured a lot of beer yesterday, although it was already the next morning, Wu Ding still felt a little hangover and did not wake up, and Wang Bo'an's voice on the podium was like the legendary late-night talk show - "Your Moon My Heart", which had a deep hypnotic effect.
"The motivation for turning archaeology into a science is the strong desire of human beings to explore their own history, and the deep goal of archaeology is to study the dynamics of human history. The struggle between human beings and the natural world is the driving force for the development of human history......" With Wang Bo'an's words, Wu Ding's head had already begun to fall together in a regular manner, which was a precursor to falling asleep.
Wu Ding, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly heard a sound of "Wang ~ Bomb" in his ears, and couldn't help but perk up, and the sleeping demon was instantly driven away without a trace. I'll go to it, I will play cards in the first class, and it is still the class of the college leader, which is dying with my life! Wu Ding followed the sound, but he didn't find the imaginary playing cards - he only saw Li Dongyang and Zhuge Min holding the league membership cards and gesturing.
Wu Ding is not surprised by the origin of the league membership card - in the third year of high school, basically all students are league members, and when they go to college, they say that they want to transfer the league relationship, and the college requires everyone to hand in the league membership card, and this kind of professional counterpart work is undoubtedly responsible for the league secretary. Therefore, as the secretary of the Youth League, it is normal for Zhuge Min to hold the membership card of the whole class - Wu Ding's own membership card was handed over to Zhuge Min before class. Just ~ play cards with a member card? There's only a name, age, or place of origin on that thing, so what's the matter? Is it more than the date of birth or the number, there is no playability at all!
Wu Ding listened attentively, listening to the lecture naturally, but the card game, only to hear Li Dongyang whisper: "This can also be regarded as a king?" But look at his unremarkable appearance! ”
Zhuge Min said faintly: "Card ~ amount, the group membership card is divided equally between the two of us, 11 for one person." This one is the most powerful on my side~ Look at this little look, it's cheap! I'll just ask you if you're afraid? What is not a king??? ”
Li Dongyang pursed his lips and whispered: "Okay~ Look at the cards, king!" As he spoke, he carefully played a card, ~ the member card.
Wu Ding saw it quite clearly this time, it was Li Changgeng's membership card. Wu Ding's first reaction was that this must be the ugliest ID photo I have ever seen...... Li Changgeng is not very decent, and the photo on this member card is even more impressive, and the photographer perfectly captures the ugliest side of people - the photographer is in a hurry to get off work! The moment you blink your eyes and smile you have to take a picture of someone, a photo can reduce a person's IQ by 50 percent, and if you put it on a special education school, you can believe it if you say that it is an excellent student!
Wu Ding probably understands the idea of these two goods - this is to compare everyone with ugliness, whose photo is ugly is the big card. These two goods are also a loss of novelty, a loss of level, and a loss of life.
Zhuge Min was dissatisfied: "Why are you the king?" Mine is Xiao Wang? Li Changgeng is just more special to be photographed~ Well, well, it's just ugly. ”
"Look at me - smiling, black and white, a rapist who was shot!" Zhuge Min picked up the "card" that had just been played out and argued in a low voice.
"Special? Ugly? It's particularly ugly! You touch your conscience and say~ If you choose one to be your boyfriend, which one do you choose? There is an essential difference between being obscene and looking like a mentally handicapped, okay? "Li Dongyang is also unscrupulous in order to win, this kind of cruel words can be said, all classmates have to get along for four years~ tsk.
Wu Ding was slandering the two of them, but suddenly he was injured by tons of critical hits - the "rapist who was shot" was his photo......
"Where did I get lewd? Do you want to cry if you don't laugh when you take pictures~ Why are you squinting? And that's not a black and white photo! I'm just wearing a black jacket with black-rimmed glasses!! "If it weren't for the class, Wu Ding would have gone up and started to fight~ Well, for the sake of Zhuge Min being a sister and a good-looking girl, his hands still have to move, but it may not be a fight......
Wu Ding's expression of "I have orange hemp and wheat skins and I don't know whether to be an oar or not" successfully attracted the attention of Li Dongyang and Zhuge Min - no way, the high-risk entertainment of playing cards in class requires seeing six ways and listening to all directions, and it is an anti-human game of comparing classmates with ugly photos, although there is no good fruit to eat when the teacher finds it, but it is also life-threatening when it is discovered by the parties. This is putting life on the line of death!
Li Dongyang and Zhuge Min looked at Wu Ding's appearance and realized something, so they stopped arguing about the size of the "card" and sat upright, with a scholarly demeanor. For a while, that attentive and thirsty appearance can deceive a few people. It's a pity that there are too few people in the archaeology class, and the class is in the smallest classroom, and the sound of the two arguing just now is really a little louder, and the teacher may not be able to hear it, but the surrounding students have already heard the conversation between the two word for word.
Looking at the unconcealed smiles in the eyes of the surrounding classmates, Li Dongyang and Zhuge Min were still a little proud, and the people who died never thought they were just playing~. But if the eyes could kill, these two would have been executed by innocent victims—the ugliness of ID photos is a national condition, and this kind of vulgar entertainment that builds one's own happiness on the pain of others is not worth advocating, especially when you find yourself lying down and getting shot; And the people who lie on the gun, let's count: one, two, three, four......, more than half of the class. So, are you two sure that those students who can't help but laugh are not laughing because they remember the tragic situation of the two of you?
Although the victim of the lying gun was eager to kill the two second-class goods, the lesson still had to be taken, so this short game of cards was tantamount to a refreshing medicine. Speaking of which, the teachers in the class should also thank them......
Wang Bo'an said: "Many people think that archaeology is tomb robbing, which is not true. In terms of purpose, tomb robbing is for personal profit, and archaeology is for research and protection. In terms of methodology, tomb robbers are often only interested in small cultural relics that are easy to carry and realize, and even destroy cultural relics that are not easy to preserve, such as simple silks, murals, and statues; Archaeology is the systematic study of ancient human remains, and there are a set of scientific and effective excavation and protection methods for relics, relics, and sites. As a result, the cultural relics stolen by tomb robbers often become private collections or even go abroad; The artifacts uncovered by archaeological excavations are collected by research institutes or museums, and become treasures that can be enjoyed and shared by all people and future generations. ”
Wang Boan raised his voice: "I have a few words~ I want to send to all students."
First, be cautious and chase the distance. This quote comes from the Analects, which literally means to be cautious about death (mainly referring to parents and relatives) and to remember one's ancestors for a long time. As the most important research direction of archaeology, exploring the origin of human beings and human civilization is our important work, which can be described as 'chasing the distance', and archaeological excavations focusing on tombs require archaeologists to work with a cautious and responsible attitude, and at the same time maintain due respect for the deceased, we are not tomb robbers or robbers, which can be described as 'cautious end'. In other words: be cautious about your work, even if it is death, and explore the origins of humanity and civilization.
Second, we should seek truth from history. There is a saying that 'history is like a little girl dressed up by others', which is an obscure saying, and the more direct statement ~ 'history is written by the victors'. However, seriously speaking, the history we can read today, especially the history of ancient China, is generally reliable, on the one hand, this is because China has a tradition of emphasizing history, even if the official history has some false and hidden records, supplemented by wild histories, family histories, notes, etc.; On the other hand, it is necessary to rely on physical objects, especially archaeological excavations, to verify and improve. For example, the cause of Emperor Guangxu's death in Qing history is that he died of illness, and folk rumors say that he was poisoned, but today we determine that he died of arsenic poisoning through the Guangxu hair unearthed in Chongling; Unearthed in Lintong, Shaanxi, Li Gui recorded the time of King Wu's war and the "Shangshu. The consistency of the records on the "Pastoral Oath" proves the authenticity and specific age of the historical event of King Wu's war. That is to say: verifying, supplementing, and perfecting historical records, and returning history to its original appearance.
The third is not to be greedy. Chinese heavy jade, as the saying goes, 'gold has a price, jade is priceless', this is traditional, the "Li Ji" says 'a gentleman has no reason, jade does not go to the body' - humble gentleman, gentle as jade, the beauty of jade and human virtue complement each other. At the same time, jade is fragile, fragile like human discipline, and can be easily damaged. In archaeological work, we can come into contact with many precious cultural relics, even priceless treasures, which requires us to 'guard ourselves like jade', not chastity, but discipline, is our professional ethics; Therefore, we must be like Zihan in "Zuo Biography", strictly abide by professional ethics, and take not being greedy as a treasure.
Fourth, seek talents for the country. "Ming Jing to learn scholars, for the country to seek talents" this is the imperial examination era of the Gongyuan archway often inscribed eight characters, in order to tell the world that the way of Confucius and Mencius is needed by the country, to encourage scholars to study Confucian classics. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone, Confucianism is orthodox, and the so-called virtuous people mainly refer to Confucianism - we all know today that the strength of the country does not only depend on the excellence or dedication of a certain class and a certain profession, so there are honorary titles such as model workers and top ten figures in various industries. However, the ancients' preference for Confucianism was also brought to the history books, and many treasures of Chinese civilization were regarded as "strange skills" and forgotten in the corners of history, or even recorded at all; Precious cultural relics such as Simu Wuding, Susha Shirt, and Yue Wang Goujian Sword are not only great works of art, but also symbols of Chinese splendid culture, and the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancestors to transform nature and innovate. Archaeologists are not stealing graves and digging graves, as many people think, but are carrying out rescue excavations, seeking the creations of ancient sages for the country, and showing the world a splendid history.
Finally, I would like to emphasize that just as today is a continuation of yesterday, today's China is also a continuation and development of ancient China. If we do not understand the ancient times and do not know the past of our nation, we are at a loss for today's construction and development. Whether or not we understand and attach importance to the ancient culture of our nation is an important criterion for judging the degree of civilization of a country. We often say today that 'to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation', why 'rejuvenation'? Because our country has long been on top of the world!
Five thousand years ago, we faced the same flood as the ancient Egyptians.
Four thousand years ago, we smelted bronze like the ancient Babylonians.
Three thousand years ago, we thought about philosophy just like the ancient Greeks.
Two thousand years ago, we were on a conquest like the Romans.
A thousand years ago, we were as rich as the Arabs.
Now, we have a long and short relationship with the United States.
For 5,000 years, we've been playing mahjong at the world's tables, and the others have been playing many rounds.
Okay, class is over~! ”
