Chapter 154
Leaving Fuhao's tomb, bidding farewell to Lao Ge, and refusing the reward he offered, Zhang Yang, He Xiaoman and the family of three came to the parking lot to say goodbye and returned to the RV.

At this time, it was only around three o'clock in the afternoon. When I opened the car door, I was immediately warmly welcomed by the two little guys.

"Boss, boss, hurry up and cook for us, that guy Rhubarb ate most of the meat you cooked, and my grandson is going to starve to death!"

"Boss, don't blame me, I'm really hungry today!"

He Xiaoman followed Zhang Yang into the car, but as soon as he got in the car, he heard two little guys yelling at Zhang Yang. He just took off half of his shoes and couldn't help looking at Zhang Yang and asking.

"What's wrong with the two of them? Could it be that they are hungry?"

Thinking of the large piece of meat left by Zhang Yang before he left, He Xiaoman felt that he must be hungry, and he didn't expect Zhang Yang to answer. After all, it was impossible for him to think that Zhang Yang knew animal language.

"It's okay, these two guys are hungry at first glance, it should be because we didn't leave much food when we left in the morning, I'll get them something to eat later!"

After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he took off his shoes and put on slippers. He went to wash his hands and opened the refrigerator to get some food for the two little guys. Anyway, he and He Xiaoman didn't eat at noon, so it happened to be a belated lunch.

He didn't make this meal too complicated. He just stewed some rice and simply fried three dishes. As a result, when the food was put on the table and ready to eat, a group of people who questioned him suddenly appeared in the live broadcast room. Anyway, It looks like it's not a sprayer.

"Brother Yang, let me first declare that I'm not a troll, but I'm a little upset. Didn't everyone say that archaeologists are legal tomb robbers?"

"That's right, the ancestors left so few things, it's fine to just let them be buried in the ground, why do you have to dig them out?"

"It's not easy to say archeology, so why don't they stop this work?"

"Similarly, I also have this doubt. I have always believed that the profession of archaeology should not exist!"

"Without archaeology, there is no destruction!"

After the first bullet screen appeared, it seemed that one stone caused a thousand waves. Many people who did not support archaeology came out one after another, thinking that this industry should not exist.

Zhang Yang, who had just picked up his chopsticks and was about to eat, had to put down his chopsticks again, called in the drone hovering in the sky outside, incorporated himself into the screen of the live broadcast room, and said with a serious face.

"The emergence of the word archeology did not appear in modern times. There were already signs of archeology in ancient times. In the Northern Song Dynasty, a scholar named Lu Dalin studied archeology deeply and wrote a book " Archaeological Map".

Of course, the technology at that time could not be compared with the current high-tech, and only some buried cultural relics could be studied and analyzed. Of course, it also showed that there was a certain understanding of archeology in ancient times.

Moreover, our country is not the first country to conduct archaeology. The first country to do archaeology originated in the West. Because of the chaotic colonial rule at that time, cemeteries were excavated and a series of burial objects were stolen from cemeteries.

Archeology is actually a form of face-to-face communication between modern people and ancient people. Although we are living beings and they are dead bodies, we can judge the identity of the owner of the tomb from the tomb and the burial objects, and we can also infer the identity of the tomb owner. Some of the economic conditions and social environment of the owner’s life were not fully recorded in ancient times. Now we can infer, improve and enrich the archaeological records bit by bit. "

Zhang Yang introduced the historical status of the profession of archaeology, and briefly explained why archaeology is needed, but some people still did not understand in the live broadcast room.

"That's not tomb robbery, it's destruction. Why do you have to understand the history of ancient times? It's fine if you don't understand it."

"That's right, it's fine to develop in the future. For example, if we are dead now, we will be dug out for exhibition after hundreds of years. I feel uncomfortable thinking about it."

"That's right, why?!!"

Zhang Yang didn't expect that his explanation was still not recognized by a small number of people. Although he could completely ignore it and ignore it, he couldn't help but think of the hardships of Lao Ge and the others.

"As for the profession of archaeologists, some people really have misconceptions. The obvious difference between archaeologists excavating ancient tombs and those grave robbers is that one is aboveboard and the other is sneaky.

Archaeologists excavate and inspect ancient tombs in accordance with legal procedures, not wanton destruction, but to protect and preserve the excavated cultural relics to a certain extent. All in all, the archaeological industry is not as easy as we imagined.

And if archaeologists don't excavate these tombs and protect them, who can guarantee that the tomb robbers won't wantonly destroy them after they discover them?
Even some of the tombs excavated by archaeology were accidentally discovered due to natural disasters or man-made disasters, and because of such accidents, if those cultural relics are not protected immediately, various problems will easily occur, causing our country to lose a batch of precious treasures Cultural relics, so you understand. "

"That's right, I understand when I say it that way."

"That is to say, in order to prevent personal excavations, it is best for officials to excavate them in advance for protection, which is not bad."

"Understood, by the way, Brother Yang, I went to check the Simu Rong Ding you mentioned earlier, but I saw it on the Internet, isn't it called Stepmother Rong Ding?"

"Our teacher also said before that it is the stepmother Rong Ding!"

After Zhang Yang finished speaking, seeing that the people in the live broadcast room didn't question him anymore, he breathed a sigh of relief and was about to continue eating, when another barrage popped up, completely interrupting his eating rhythm.

Speechless Zhang Yang simply poured the rice in the bowl into the rice bowls of the two little guys, then ran over to find some snacks, opened the door of the RV, sat on the steps and ate the potato chips in his hand, anyway It's convenient.

Seeing that Zhang Yang suddenly became busy again, He Xiaoman couldn't help asking.

"Brother Yang, can't we deal with it later? Come over to eat first, don't eat snacks, that's so unhealthy!"

Zhang Yang turned his head and smiled at He Xiaoman, and raised the potato chips in Yang's hand.

"It's okay. I haven't eaten at noon anyway. It's already unhealthy. Let's have some snacks to solve it. Let me indulge once in a while. I'll explain it to them."

After speaking, he unscrewed his favorite apple-flavored Fanta next to him, took a sip, swallowed the potato chips in his mouth and started another round of explanations.

"The Simuwu Ding is the heaviest ancient bronze vessel known in our country. Its name is based on the inscription on the inner wall of the bronze tripod according to the convention. In fact, there has been controversy about its name. I blame me for not explaining it clearly to everyone. .

Now I am posting a photo of the inscription on the inner wall of the bronze tripod, so that everyone can see it at a glance. "

As he spoke, Zhang Yang picked up the phone and operated it for a while, sent a photo to the live broadcast room, and kept it locked on the screen. All of this was naturally operated by the system.

"I'll go, why does this word look like 'si'?"

"Then how did you get the word 'back'?"

"Just listen to Brother Yang, we don't need to fight."

"That's right, you're wasting that time, why don't you just listen to what Brother Yang said, and then we'll remember to go out and pretend."

Seeing that everyone in the live broadcast room had seen the text on the photo, Zhang Yang continued to talk.

"I said before that the oracle bone inscriptions were used in the Yin and Shang Dynasties. Now I will call it Simuwu Ding. This is actually because in the late Shang Dynasty when it was cast, the characters used in both the oracle bone inscriptions and the bronze inscriptions existed. In the case of both positive and negative, yes, you read or heard correctly, that is, both positive and negative can be used.

The photos have been sent to the live broadcast room, you can see for yourself, there are some comparisons of Oracle.

That is to say, the glyph that looks like "Si" in the inscription may actually be a variant of "Hou". It is precisely because of this that the naming of Simu Wuding has been involved in controversy from the very beginning.

Opponents questioned the name "Simu Wuding" in addition to the word form, "Si" can also be interpreted as "Hou", and more importantly, many scholars believe that from the interpretation of the meaning of the inscription, "Houmu Wuding' is also more reasonable than 'Simu Wuding'. "

After saying this, Zhang Yang paused, smiled at He Xiaoman who came to him at some point, took a sip of water and continued talking.
