Riding the wind of rebirth

The academic level of the Shu University Museum has now become the top level in Sichuan, even surpassing the Sichuan Museum, which is a bit contrary to Tiangang's attitude.

The reason is that, firstly, many of the teaching forces in the department come from the same universities as the provincial Ph.D. scholars, and the level of scholars is similar to that of the provincial Ph.D. scholars, and even exceeds them in some majors.

Secondly, during the construction of the new museum, the department carried out a systematic rescue, maintenance and research on the cultural relics in the collection, and was "forced" to raise the level a lot.

Thirdly, as one of the first 211 universities in China, the school has received greater support in terms of talents, funds, and projects. This kind of support is comprehensive.

The fourth is social power. For example, Zhou Zhi attracted several big names and corporate sponsors to the school, built a large venue and several buildings, and also introduced several cooperative projects and even donated collections to directly improve the school's standards. Go up.

Finally, there are related investments attracted by cooperative projects. For example, the Sichuan University Museum has now established a joint research center with the Three Gorges Cultural Museum Foundation. There are many project advocates, researchers, and participants focusing on the protection of the Three Gorges Cultural Museum Foundation. Whenever the Three Gorges Cultural Museum Foundation needs When holding seminars and demonstration meetings, the location will be set here.

Because it is a new building, the conference rooms and offices are all in good condition, and various samples transported from Xiajiang to be inspected and sorted have been piled in the wood-healed plant, which provides great convenience for scholars.

These scholars held various lectures and conducted on-site research at Shu University, which once again improved the academic level.

This is just one aspect. These researchers come from all over the world and even abroad. Their vision and experience are very rich and different. They have brought many research directions and research technologies that are still very unfamiliar to mainland researchers. Includes a variety of the latest research equipment.

For example, Zhou Zhi went to the National Expo to deliver the Three Saints statues. When he came back, he asked the foundation to introduce equipment to the Shu University Museum and set up a thermoluminescence dating laboratory and an isotope dating laboratory.

The establishment of these two laboratories has directly raised the academic level of the Sichuan University Museum to the first-class level in the country. Even the people at Sichuan University are drooling with envy.

If you can't beat them, just join. Now they often bring things over for "academic exchanges." To put it bluntly, they are actually using Shu University's equipment.

Of course, it has also trained several professional talents for the Provincial Museum. For these talents, the Shu University Museum is not polite at all.

A few days later, under Zhou Zhi's guidance, Lu Qiao's inspection report was completed. The article covered the geographical advantages of Qingshen Baipo Kiln, types of porcelain clay glazes, historical background, kiln mouth traditions, supporting firing methods, and types of porcelain. Even folklore and other aspects, an article was formed, "Field investigation of the main distribution locations of ancient porcelain kilns in Qingshen Baipo and a research report on the relationship between survival time and evolution", which attracted the attention of Jiang Tianxi and the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau.

The identification result of the green-red underglaze melon-ribbed jar that blind man Li Er gave to Zhou Zhi also came out. Just as Zhou Zhi guessed, it was a high-end product created from the late Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties, combined with a cake-shaped vessel with beveled feet. The feet should be the utensils of Qiong Kiln.

This identification result directly raised the status of Qiong Kiln to another level, becoming the first kiln mouth in China to use copper red glaze as decoration. It also served as the successor to Chinese porcelain from the Han Dynasty green glaze, the Tang Dynasty tricolor, and the Song Dynasty. The Ding kiln decorated with clay, the Jun kiln using copper-red glaze to stimulate kiln transformation, and even the built kiln producing rabbit hairs and partridge spots all provide a basis for the origin of the transitional period.

This small water bowl with white decorative earth, decorated with turquoise glaze and red copper glaze, and then covered with emulsified white glaze as a protective layer, became the next decorative earth porcelain, red copper glazed porcelain, and underglaze color developed in China. The common ancestor of porcelain. As for the actual kiln inheritance, the Qiong kiln and later the Changsha kiln in the south and the Yaozhou kiln in the north all have a certain sister relationship.

As Zhang Cheng said, many good papers can be deduced from this.

After the appraisal of the pile of porcelain that Lao Yang gave to Zhou Zhi and the fragments that Zhou Zhi and others brought back from the Baipo kiln, the age was roughly determined. They existed from the late Five Dynasties to the Qing Dynasty. It can be seen that the number of Baipo kilns was The ten porcelain kilns have been producing continuously for thousands of years, transporting various types of porcelain to Qingshen and surrounding areas.

Now the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau, the Department of History of Sichuan University and the Provincial Museum have established a joint expert team to conduct a series of investigations on the Baipo Tancan Kiln site. Zhou Zhi concluded that a provincial key cultural heritage site should not escape.

Lu Qiao was commended for this, which marked a significant milestone in his academic career.

This incident also illustrates another problem, which is that the level, consciousness, and strength of the cultural protection departments at the county level are uneven, and they often can only "make things happen based on people."

In other words, if the unit has capable people like the godfather, the county's work will become very prominent. If not, it will be lackluster and important sites will be unknown.

However, this problem is difficult to make up for in a short time. The country is far from having the luxury of allowing college students to return to their hometowns to serve as village officials. Zhou Zhi can only hope that after the two categories of tangible cultural heritage and intangible cultural heritage are established and generally recognized, cultural preservation units across the country will use this as their guiding ideology. After conducting a thorough investigation of the two major heritages in the region, a larger number of cultural heritages will emerge. discovery.

But these are all distant things, so Zhang Cheng took the restored six-hand scroll and the newly discovered and appraised Qiong Kiln red and green underglaze melon-edge water bowl to the capital to give it to his elders for inspection, and called the Suzhou Jade Carving Factory. After contacting the Jiangsu Provincial Cultural Unit and revealing Li Qiyan’s intention to prepare for the Sugong Jade Sculpture Exhibition in Hong Kong Island, and asking them to actively contact him to prepare, Zhou Zhi plunged into review and began to prepare for his final exam.

It was also for this reason that Zhou Zhi finally sat in his office.

Zhou Zhi had his own office in Clover Company, but this office later became the place where morning meetings were held on Mondays and Fridays. Except for these two mornings, Zhou Zhi rarely worked here.

It made no sense now, so Zhou Zhi moved all his exam materials here, focusing his main time on reviewing and using his spare time to work.

The reason why I still use my spare time to work is because the two projects of Internet access and Chinese Enterprise Network Yellow Pages hosted by Clover Company have already started, especially the first one. Zhou Zhi regards it as another milestone and future of the company. business growth points.

Clover Company has actually been preparing for a long time, and has completed various technical reserves and solutions in the early stage, just waiting for this day to arrive.

Now the east wind has finally arrived. (End of chapter)
