My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 220 What the West picked up was nothing but leftovers

The ancient city of Pompeii is well-known in the world. It was a summer resort with mountains on its back and the sea facing the sea. It was built in the 6th century BC and was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.However, due to being buried by volcanic ash, the street houses are relatively intact. Archaeological excavations have continued since 1748, providing important information for understanding the social life, culture and art of ancient Rome.

Its discovery has been rated as one of the world's top ten ancient tomb treasures.

The discovery of the ancient country of Loulan, known as the ancient city of Pompeii in Asia, immediately caused a sensation in the world at that time.Afterwards, many mysteries were left to future generations, and countless archaeologists flocked to it, investing in exploration and research one after another.

As a top domestic archaeologist, Mr. Hu has visited the ruins of the ancient Loulan country more than once or twice.

Through their efforts, some of Loulan's secrets have also been revealed, but the mystery of the ancient Loulan country has not been fully revealed.

Now, he is of course overjoyed to learn that his grandson's family still has important cultural relics and materials of Loulan.

At the same time, I also feel a little resentment towards the old Fang who passed away.That bad old man is very bad, he knows so much information about the ancient country, can't he explain it?

The audience in the live broadcast room was even more startled. They just found out about the ancient Dian Kingdom, Xianwang, etc., and even suspected that there was an ancient civilization.
Although they are not historians or archaeologists, everyone is familiar with the country of Loulan.

When I was studying, the country of Loulan often appeared in textbooks, and even in the ancient poems I recited, there was the word Loulan: If you don’t break Loulan, you will never return it!
"Damn it! How many ancient treasures did the boss's ancestors dig up?"

"Although Loulan is a small country, even an ancient city, it was still very prosperous at that time."

"It all depends on the Silk Road. The Silk Road was an economic corridor connecting Asia and Europe in ancient times. The status of Loulan is equivalent to Singapore today."

"It's a pity! When it was discovered in the late Qing Dynasty, those foreigners were taken advantage of."

"Is there any way? The gang of prodigal sons in the Qing Dynasty didn't pay much attention to it at all. Not to mention the Loulan ruins, even Mogao Grottoes and Heishui City can't keep so many cultural relics."

"This is one of the reasons why I hate the Qing Dynasty. It's so fucking useless. It's so cruel to the Han people, and it's a coward to the foreigners."

"Manchu! Just get used to it."

……

Soon, Fang Xing brought out a batch of paper-like things.

Mr. Hu is like a treasure.

"Be careful! This thing is very brittle, if it wasn't well preserved in my house, it would have been gone long ago."

The audience in the live broadcast room asked: "Is this the earliest paper?"

"It is estimated that when Loulan was discovered, the West said that the Chinese invented paper in 105 AD. The writing on the paper was written between 150 and 220 AD. It is the oldest paper and writing on paper discovered so far."

Seeing this speech, Fang Xing chuckled: "The oldest paper and writing on paper? The West deliberately belittled us. The rough pieces of paper you see now are passed down from our Central Plains.

In fact, it's not even paper.We often say that Cai Lun makes paper. In fact, before Cai Lun, something similar to what we see now appeared in China.

However, this thing is not easy to store, it is very troublesome, and it is easy to melt when it is touched with water, so we still use bamboo slips to record words.

In the West, they also claim that the Egyptian papyrus is the earliest paper in the world!But does that thing even qualify as paper?It's nothing more than some pressed plant fibers, just like a joke. "

Cai Lun is a reformer of papermaking, not an inventor.Cai Lun just expanded the source of raw materials for papermaking, and made full use of waste items such as bark, rags, hemp heads and fishing nets, which reduced the cost of paper, especially the forerunner of using bark to make raw pulp paper, which is a great contribution to the paper industry. The development has opened up a broad avenue.

Two or three hundred years before Cai Lun, the earliest paper appeared in my country, and it was more than 300 years earlier than the pieces of paper in Loulan.

It has to be said that the West has done everything they can to discredit China's ancient civilization.

Transfer the earliest paper to Lou Lan. Anyway, I can't get this title in the West, and neither can you in China.The original Loulan was not your Chinese civilization, but a Central Asian country.

As he spoke, Fang Xing carefully found a few pages from the pile of papers.

"Let's speak with facts. The content recorded on it is that during the Great Qin Dynasty, a Qin man brought papermaking technology to Loulan, and the records are clear and clear.

The earliest paper was not widely used in the Qin and Han Dynasties, but frequently appeared in Loulan. I think it has something to do with the dry weather and environment in the Western Regions.Because it is dry, this fragile paper is easy to store. "Fang Xing said.

This statement was supported by Mr. Hu.

"That's right! That's true. The earliest paper was created by our country. There is no doubt about it. Baqiao paper, Fangmatan paper, hemp paper fragments, etc., all appeared in the early Western Han Dynasty and even the Qin Dynasty. .”

We found that there are many kinds of words recorded on these papers.

There are seal scripts from the Qin and Han Dynasties, Indian scripts from ancient India, ancient scripts from countries in Central Asia and West Asia, and even scripts from Europe.

This is simply the word library of various countries in the ancient world.

Mr. Hu was so excited that the content recorded above involved many secrets of Loulan.

"My ancestors were probably the first group of people to visit the ancient country of Loulan, so the things they brought back were the best. Don't worry, everyone! Those cultural relic robbers in the West only took away some less valuable things.

The ancient country of Loulan, as an important transit point of the Silk Road at that time, actually had the most gold.But those people in the West did not find a few pieces of gold.

Secondly, it is these ancient papers that record text, but those people in the West only found dozens of ancient papers.Most of them were brought back by my ancestors, hehe! "Fang Xing laughed with everyone.

The people in the west are said to have found hunting arrows, war arrows, rockets, currency made of shells, necklaces, earrings, gemstones engraved with the image of Hermes, as well as silk, bed sheets, felt, twine, and shoes in Loulan. As well as bronzes, woods, iron chains, and glasses from ancient Syria and Rome.

Hearing this, the audience in the live broadcast room breathed a sigh of relief.

The atmosphere immediately became relaxed, and everyone joked that those people in the West just picked up some leftovers this time.

They also saw that the ancient papers that Fang Xing brought out must have been thousands of sheets?
What those people in the west picked up may have been accidentally left by Fang Xing's ancestors.
