Chapter 153: Why Do You Do It?

In the early morning, a red sun jumps out of the horizon, as if turning on the play button of a movie, and suddenly, the city is noisy.

Li Dingan went out slowly and entered the school without hurrying. He first went to the canteen to eat a rice roll and a plate of fried buns before entering the library.

It was almost ten o'clock when he went downstairs and went to the second floor opposite. Passing by Professor Wu's office, I saw that the door was open, and went in to say hello.

"Professor Wu!"

"I've finished reading the book, why is it so early today?"

"Teacher, take the exam today."

"Oh, you forgot?"

Wu Xiang pointed to the sofa and asked habitually: "How is it, are you sure?" ”

Li Dingan was stunned: It's just a semester exam, not a graduation exam, what's not sure?

Anyway, he thinks the graduate exam is much easier than the college days.

In particular, the proportion of basic knowledge in the examination after the first year of graduate school is very low, less than 30% of the total questions. And most of them are brief reports, which are commonly referred to as "short papers".

The remaining 70 percent is practice, most of which is experimental.

If Wu Xiang is allowed to speak his heart, the more than ten papers that Li Ding'an has published are no problem as doctoral students' graduation exams, and there is naturally no difficulty in reading comprehension like this.

As for practice, his professional level is much higher than that of Gao Shengdong......

Wu Xiang was stunned for a long time before he reacted, and couldn't help laughing: "You said you, what time is wasted?" ”

Li Dingan smiled: "I just want to test it!" ”

"Whatever you want!" Wu Xiang waved his hand casually, and frowned again, "I have also heard about the auction in Shanghai, try to be careful during this time." I have also said hello to the National Museum and the Forbidden City, except for the project, I will not participate in other activities if I can not participate......"

Li Dingan nodded solemnly: "Teacher, don't worry!" ”

If you want to say that it is dangerous, it may be a little bit, but if you want to say that you are as scared as a quail like Quan Ying, and you don't even dare to go out of the guest house of the Ministry of Public Security, then it is definitely not enough.

After all, it's not ten years ago, and it's still the capital, so there's no safer place in all of China.

Of course, what should be paid attention to is still to be paid attention to, anyway, Li Dingan has already decided that before the case is solved, he will not leave Beijing if he can not leave Beijing......

"Well, that's good!"

Li Dingan has always been steady and very measured, so Wu Xiang is not very worried.

He looked at the time again: "Go ahead, it's all time open." ”

Well...... Didn't Gao Shengdong say half past ten?

Li Ding'an's heart jumped, and he nodded hurriedly: "Then teacher, are you busy......

With that, he walked out of the office and closed the office door for Wu Xiang.

When I turned my head and looked again, I couldn't see a single student in the hallway.

Is the exam really open?

He flew to the Department of Ceramics.

The classroom is quite large, with more than 30 desks and 17 students sitting neatly.

On the podium sat a male professor in his fifties, who was supposed to be an invigilator from another department. Associate Professor Zhang from the Department of Ceramics was also there, and there was also a girl who was handing out test papers.

I felt a little familiar, and after a little thought, Li Dingan remembered: I met him in the library a few days ago, his name is Shen Jiaqing, and he seems to be a doctoral student in paleography.

He didn't bother to say hello, he owed a debt: "Sorry teacher, I'm late!" ”

The professor on the podium frowned, and was about to ask something, but Professor Zhang greeted him first: "Why is it so late, and I am about to call you?" ”

"Teacher Gao said it was half past ten, I thought it was half past ten, and when I met Professor Wu again, I said a few words......

"Haha...... You have to enter the venue fifteen minutes early...... Come on in! ”

You can really kill people......

Secretly scolding, Li Dingan said thank you, looked at it again, and walked to the middle area.

This piece is all the students of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, that is, the seven classmates. The remaining ten or so are naturally students of foreign archaeology and Buddhist archaeology, both belonging to the Department of Ceramics, but not a major.

No matter what major it is, all of them looked at him curiously, because most of them had never seen him.

Just thinking about where this person came from, and seeing the seven people from the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties nodding towards Li Dingan one after another, these ten classmates suddenly realized: Good guys, this is the classmate Li who caused them to have to lift their shoes at every turn?

In an instant, all twenty eyes widened......

Regardless of whether he knew him or not, Li Dingan smiled in return and hurriedly sat down again.

It just so happened that Shen Jiaqing, who was in charge of distributing the test papers, also arrived here.

She looked at Li Ding'an: Didn't you say last time that you were studying for one?

Look at the student ID card on the table again: That's right, it's really a graduate school?

But here, is it the examination room for the second year of graduate school?

To say that he went wrong...... It shouldn't be possible, when he didn't look at the door, Associate Professor Zhang from the Department of Ceramics greeted him......

Curious, don't want it, Shen Jiaqing put the test paper in front of him.

Li Ding'an didn't speak, just smiled, and then picked up the scroll and glanced at it a few times.

Hey, this exam paper...... It's interesting.

For example, the first one is the explanation of the noun: Seifudo Monument.

It's just four words, and there is not a single extra punctuation mark, so at first glance, you will be confused: what is this?

In fact, this is an allusion to the Southern Song Dynasty, and it is also related to a cultural relic: Zhu Xi's disciple Zheng Xingzhi was a powerful minister during the Lizong period, and an official under him forcibly seized a mansion of a wealthy merchant surnamed Shen, and then dedicated the mansion to Zheng Xingzhi.

But since Zheng Xingzhi moved in, strange things have happened frequently in the house: the sky is clear, and the treetops don't move, but there is a yin wind in the main hall. It was a quiet night, but there would be a sound similar to a snoring sound in the hall.

Zheng Xingzhi didn't know why, so he invited a master to do it, but the specific process was unknown, anyway, he changed the name of the hall to Qingfeng Hall.

After that, the wind was gone, the strange sound was gone, and a few years passed peacefully.

But in the third year, something strange happened: when it rained, a figure would appear on the stone wall of Seifudo, and it would disappear as soon as the sky cleared.

Zheng Xingzhi was so frightened that he ordered someone to tear down the wall, and as a result, a skeleton was dug up. Looking at it again, more than a dozen deep grooves were cut out of the stone wall.

It turned out that when the officials robbed the house, they actually built the original owner of the house into the wall alive.

The official was beheaded, and the mansion was returned to the Shen family, so this matter was widely circulated, and it was known as the "Qingfeng Hall corpse" in history.

The descendants of the Shen family also made a special trip to record it in the genealogy, and when it came to the Ming Dynasty, it was carved into a stone tablet and passed down from generation to generation.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the descendants of the Shen family donated the Shen garden in Jiaxing, which was destroyed during the Great Movement. At the beginning of the new century, the Zhejiang Cultural Relics Bureau and the Zhejiang Institute of Ancient Architecture jointly rebuilt and dug up this stele, which is now in the "Jiangnan Ancient Architecture Museum", and the name is "Qingfeng Hall Stele".

There is relevant content in the "General Theory of Chinese Archaeology", but it mainly discusses the architectural style and characteristics of the Jiangnan gardens in the Qing Dynasty, and only mentions the Qingfeng Hall tablet, but does not mention the origin of this tablet.

The reason why Li Ding'an knows so clearly is because the Yuan Dynasty writer and historian Tao Zongyi's "Nancun Dropout Record" recorded the "Qingfeng Tang Corpse" very clearly, and also made relevant scientific explanations: the corpse oil and blood penetrated into the stone wall, and it was not obvious when it was dry, and the oil stains would be revealed when it was damp.

Therefore, the students next to them may not be able to remember what this Qingfeng Hall monument is.

But if you want to talk about super-outline, there really isn't. "Nancun Dropout Record" is an important work related to archaeology in the Song and Yuan dynasties, otherwise Li Ding'an would not have thought of searching for the origin of the bronze coffin and the red gold mahula from this book......

There are also three questions:

1. Rulers of the world.

This is also an allusion, and it is also related to a cultural relic, and the protagonist is also the prime minister.

"The Biography of Yelu Chucai in the History of the Yuan Dynasty": The Xia people often have eight catties, and they are good at making bows, and they know the emperor (Genghis Khan), because every time they say: 'The country uses force, what is the use of Yelu Confucianism.'" ’

Chu Cai said: 'It is necessary to use a bowsmith to govern the bow, how can a person who is the world not need to govern the world? The emperor was very pleased when he heard it, and he used it in person every day...... Later, he gave the daughter of Bald Kedun (Genghis Khan's concubine, who was robbed by him with a son and a daughter, and was considered a stepson and stepdaughter) as Luanjiao (a wife who continued to string), and was given a golden bow with the inscription "Ruler of the world".

This bow was still in the late Qing Dynasty, and was collected in the inner court of the Qing Dynasty, and was moved to the Old Summer Palace when Cixi passed her birthday, and is now in the British Museum.

Similarly, the "General Theory of Chinese Archaeology" also has relevant content, but it is classified under the category related to "Lost Cultural Relics of the Old Summer Palace", and there are also national treasures such as the seal of the Old Summer Palace, the forty scenes, and the bronze statue of the head of the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac.

In comparison, this bow is not so conspicuous, so not to mention the origin of the words "ruling the world", it is a question whether the classmates next to him remember the bow or not......

Question 2: Briefly describe the ideological viewpoint of "although it is made by man, it is like opening from heaven".

This sentence comes from the Ming Dynasty's garden work "Garden Governance", which means "the unity of heaven and man", so it also involves Taoist and Buddhist thoughts. But comparatively speaking, this question is a little simpler......

3. The types and characteristics of the royal tombs of the two Song Dynasty.

This question is even more excessive.

Let's put it this way:

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the tomb of the Northern Song Dynasty emperor was first excavated by Liu Yu, the emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty.

After the Jin Dynasty entered the Central Plains, for the sake of the Han people, they not only dug up the imperial tomb again, but even knocked the tomb bricks into slag.

After Meng Yuan came, it was still for the sake of the royal spirit of the Han people, and within a radius of fifty miles from the emperor's tomb, "all the plows were ruins".

Similarly, the Southern Song Dynasty Emperor's Mausoleum was also treated like this...... Yang Lian Zhenjia not only stole all the treasures, regardless of men and women, the bones were all knocked into slag, and mixed the bones of pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep and buried them under the ground, and built a white tower thirteen zhang high on it......

To put it bluntly, these two places are places where even tomb robbers take a detour when they see them.

Correspondingly, whether it is the "General Theory of Archaeology" or the existing papers, it is only discussed from the aspects of tomb layout, architectural characteristics, structural style, as well as murals and brick carvings, and there is really not much content about tomb objects.

It is also found that the local cultural relics and museum records of the tombs of the vassal kings of the Song Dynasty have relevant records, or miscellaneous histories of the two Song Dynasty and after, such as the "Nancun Dropout Record", "Continuation of the String Brief Record", "Sleepy Xuezhai Miscellaneous Record", "Qi Dongye Yu" and other notebook histories that Li Ding'an checked before, there are descriptions related to the funerals of emperors and kings in the two Song dynasties.

It is not superb, because these materials are an important basis for studying Song, Yuan, and archaeological related topics. However, I usually study porcelain-related knowledge, but now I suddenly have to discuss it in terms of "types" and "characteristics", and it is strange that I can answer them.

That's why Li Ding'an felt strange, why did he suddenly have so many unpopular exam questions?

It must have something to do with him, but it was never a green light for him, no matter how big his face was, it wasn't so big.

Li Ding'an suspected that he should have brought back the Mahula and the copper coffin before, which gave Dean Ding and Professor Wu the idea of developing this topic.

Therefore, this time it is just a reminder to the graduate students: hurry up and check the information, otherwise when the project is opened, let alone participate, you will not even be qualified to visit.

Of course, nine times out of ten I failed the exam this time......

That's it, the key is that Wu Xiang made it clear last week that this year's master's and doctoral dissertations in the Department of Ceramics must be related to Mongolian porcelain or pearl glaze. So, if the classmates knew that he got all these back, would they put a sack on him in the middle of the night?

As soon as he thought of this, he was a little empty, he didn't raise his head, and only cared about doing the question.

As soon as the students next to them looked at the test papers, their brains "buzzed".

To be honest, not to mention "Qingfeng Hall Monument" and "Craftsman Who Governs the World", many students can't even remember the source of "Although Made by People, Like the Opening of the Sky".

It's not that they don't study hard, but most of the usual focus is on antiques, not that the school is biased, but that this aspect is the best employment.

Although there is also research on architecture, it is basically a tomb and an ancient city layout, as well as a study of the capital and the palace city.

As for the third question, as soon as they looked at the "Song Dynasty Royal Tomb Goods", their hearts were half cold: it's over, don't think about the credits for this semester......

Not only the seven classmates, but also the archaeology of Buddhism on the left, and the archaeology of cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries (including foreign archaeology) on the right...... Seventeen students, one by one, confused.

The question in these two classes is similar: the influence of religious thought (Western culture) in the burial system of the Song and Song dynasties.

There are two sets of pictures: one is a bronze coffin, and the other is a Mahara. There is also a note at the bottom: the tomb of Zhao Zhen, the son of Zhao Kuo of Song Ningzong......

Zhao Zhen...... I've never heard of it......

Which pit is this...... Well, who came up with the question?

Oh, Professor Wu's ...... That's fine.

The question is, is this too obscure?

Then, you look at me, and I look at you...... Understood, none of them will......

I was thinking like this, but there was a sudden sound of "rustling" next to me, and I turned my head to see that classmate Li, who didn't even deserve to lift their shoes, was answering questions with his head bored, and the pen was about to fly.

Seventeen pairs of eyes widened in unison: Why did you do it?

PS: Chapter 154, that is, the next chapter is heavy, please skip it, and read the next chapter directly.

I'm sorry!

To explain, I will definitely make up for it, and I will never break my promise. But in the past few days, I am trying to change my thinking, thinking that in addition to pretending to be a slap in the face, I can't write something new, and I am also thinking of an outline.

So I have to owe two days, sorry.
