Exploring the Secret: Dig the Mausoleum of the First Emperor at the beginning

Chapter 81 Erlitou Ruins ([-])

The years are quiet and everything is developing in order.

The excavation work was going on intensely, and Qin Chen was getting busier and busier.

In addition to the restoration of key cultural relics.

The other is writing a paper about the Erlitou ruins.

When it comes to writing, most of them are looking for Erlitou papers and documents in the computer database of my previous life.

On this day, as soon as Qin Chen came out of the restoration room, he saw Mr. Feng walking forward.

"Old Feng, why are you here?"

"I heard that you were restoring a national treasure just now."

"Hmm, it's a bronze medallion inlaid with turquoise. It's really amazing. These turquoise stones are so tight that even after 4000 years, none of them have loosened or fallen off, which shows the exquisite craftsmanship. If my estimate is correct, it should be It is the earliest and most exquisite inlaid copper ware discovered so far. It can be said that the discovery of this cultural relic has created a precedent for inlaid copper ware."

There was a strange light shining in Mr. Feng's eyes!
"I gonna go see!"

Mr. Feng walked into the restoration room, looked at this exquisite cultural relic, and nodded involuntarily.

"Yeah, it's Xia Dai's utensil!"

Qin Chen almost vomited blood, doesn't that mean he didn't say anything?

What was excavated from the remains of the Xia Dynasty was not the Xia Dynasty, but it must have belonged to the Republic of China.

But what followed made Qin Chen understand what a real master is.

“The object is made of bronze with a theme frame, with four pure round corners and a slightly sub-waist shape... There is a bird-shaped object guarding each other on both sides, and the lower part is decorated with hook patterns. The entire pattern is highly abstract, full of tension, and visually oppressive. Feeling, the green luster is filled with mysterious and profound atmosphere."

Qin Chen was completely shocked!
If he didn't have the knowledge of his previous life, he had seen the introduction of this artifact in his previous life.

I'm afraid that even the name and purpose of it will take a long time to search the information to understand.

But Mr. Feng just took a few glances.

"Can Mr. Feng see the craftsmanship of this turquoise?"

Mr. Feng simply touched it and then took it back.

"As I expected, this turquoise was made by grinding. According to the briefing published in the "Cultural Relics" last year, the oldest iron smelting found in the Xia Kingdom so far are two pieces of iron unearthed from the tombs of the Mogousiwa culture. According to the carbon-14 identification, its date is about 1500 BC, that is, the Shang Dynasty. Qin Chen, I will test you, do you know what this means?"

Qin Chen blurted out immediately.

"The inlaid turquoise bronze decoration was not carved with iron, which further proves that the dynasties in this area did not master the iron smelting method. This is also a direct evidence that its history must be earlier than the Shang Dynasty."

"That's right!"

"You asked me just now. People in the Xia Dynasty have not mastered the smelting method of iron. Naturally, the turquoise craftsmanship here is not carved. It should be made of high-hardness emery, quartz and other "jade sand", which is ground into jade with the help of water power, and then It was carved and rolled with simple tools such as wood, bamboo, bone and stone tools."

Qin Chen swallowed a mouthful of saliva!
He knew why Qin Lao was able to become the honorary president of the Xia State History Research Institute and the president of the Imperial Palace Museum in Kyoto.

Just this kind of ability is enough to stand out from the crowd!

"In addition to the craftsmanship, we also need to analyze a cultural relic from the aspect of art and culture. The artifact lies in its theme pattern and animal mask decoration. Its function is to teach Shinto and communicate between heaven and earth. The ancient civilization of the Xia Kingdom divided the world into heaven and earth. , earth, gods, humans, etc., communication between these levels requires the help of special shamans."

Qin Chen knew that in the ancient Xia Kingdom, it was necessary to use shamans to communicate with gods and gods.

The combination of witches and ghosts means male and female wizards, and witches are separated into witches and wizards as ghosts.

Mr. Feng continued: "The Xia Kingdom is a country that worships jade. In ancient times, the attribute value of jade was abstractly amplified, giving jade a psychic and divine nature. This fusion of spirituality and divinity gave it a religious character of worship. . After understanding this, you can roughly understand the function and connotation of this bronze medallion. This is a magical instrument that can communicate with heaven, earth, gods, and humans."

"Feng Laozhi's theory opened the eyes of the juniors today!"

"You are still young. Your achievements will not be worse than mine in the future. I am optimistic about you!"

Perhaps the top masters of archeology and history are at the level of Mr. Feng and Professor Zhou.

There are people outside the world, and there are people outside the sky!
Qin Chen thought that if he hadn't been reincarnated as a human being, he might never have met Mr. Feng for the rest of his life.

There is only one possibility of intersection, that is, Elder Qin sits on the top and gives a lecture, and he listens as an audience.

I have to say, good luck tricks people!
Who would have imagined that all this actually happened to her.

Since fate made a joke on me, and gave me another system, and let me meet Li Chunxi, Professor Zhou, Li Qingfeng, Wang Qingsong and so on.

Then he must achieve an achievement that no one before him has achieved!

To write books and biographies for the history of the Xia Kingdom, to preach and dispel doubts, he should be duty-bound.

……

In the evening, Qin Chen also learned good news, that is, Wang Jing'an's daughter's surgery was very successful.

When Wang Jing'an heard that the ruins of the Xia Dynasty were discovered in Luoyi City, she couldn't hold back her excitement for a long time.

That night, it was two or three o'clock in the middle of the night when Qin Chen was sorting out papers on the cultural relics unearthed in Erlitou and the discovery of ruins.

Looking at the printed papers on the table, he was quite relieved.

If these papers are released, it will be just around the corner to complete the Xia, Shang and Zhou dating projects.

"Erlitou Jade: A New Perspective on the History of Xia"

"The Tracing Value and Contemporary Significance of Erlitou Culture"

"Early Xia Culture and Early Xia History"

"Erlitou and the Formation of the Central Plains Center"

……

Qin Chen knew that he would not be able to finish all the excavations this time because the time was too short.

What he needs are high-quality products and cultural relics that can prove the existence of the Xia Dynasty.

As for other excavations, this will require archaeological teams to dig for many years!

Just like excavating the ruins in the later stage, you will find the earliest rut traces of the Xia Kingdom, the earliest palace city, the earliest national sacrificial relics and sacrificial areas, the earliest group of bronze ritual vessels, and jade ritual vessels...

But looking at the more than 60 papers on the table, his scalp is also numb!
He dare not take it out!
Whoever saw it!

That must be shocking to death!

Qin Chen has only been here for more than a month, and has more than 60 articles.

It is equivalent to writing two papers in one day!

Even the world's top experts and professors in archaeology, history, and prehistoric research gathered together.

It is also difficult to achieve two articles a day!

This is equivalent to being a billionaire and having to hide your identity.

Fortunately, there are more than 100 experts and professors in the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties Project. At that time, as long as the school writes Xijing University, other professors can be added to the name.

This is a great way to get the best of both worlds!

He has no doubt that if he publishes these more than 60 papers to the world now.

A large number of experts will start to study the structure of his brain just like studying Einstein!
And there are only more than ten days left before the spring auction.

Counting the days, it's time to go back to Xijing, and then go to the auction.
