Master Archaeologist

Chapter 64 Jingzhou Cultural Protection Center
It didn't take Chen Han and the others much time, less than an hour, to arrive at the Jingzhou Cultural Protection Center.

The location of the Jingzhou Cultural Protection Center is directly opposite the Jingzhou Museum, with a small lake behind it.

Behind Jingzhou Museum is Jingzhou Three Kingdoms Park.

Although this location is in the busy city of Jingzhou, it is quiet in the middle of the bustle, surrounded by mountains and rivers, but it also has a unique beauty.

I learned early that Chen Han and Professor Li were coming, and the staff of the Cultural Heritage Center greeted them at the door early.

As soon as they got out of the car, they ran into Rong Hua, the head of the Wooden Lacquer Ware Conservation Research Department of the Cultural Heritage Center.

"Old Li, you have worked hard this time, and the excavation work is still going on in the winter."

Rong Hua greeted Professor Li with a warm hug, and asked his staff to help move the cultural relics in the trunk of the car to the cultural relics protection center.

The accompanying "supervisors" stared at a pair of tiger eyes, not letting go of anyone's small movements during the transportation.

Although every archaeological and cultural relic restoration worker is hired after layers of political review and high enough ideological education.

But no one dares to take people's hearts as a test, and necessary supervision and review are definitely indispensable.

As long as it involves cultural relics, the government must carry out strict supervision to ensure that any cultural relics unearthed from the ground cannot be stolen by private individuals.

Even every archaeologist must be regularly reviewed by relevant departments to ensure that they do not have any abnormal income and do not hide any cultural relics.

Professor Li and Ronghua have long been used to this, and basically ignored the accompanying supervisors.

On the contrary, Chen Han kept looking at him with some curiosity.

He is indeed rare in the world, and he has never seen such a scene of mobilizing people to supervise the transportation of cultural relics before.

Rong Hua, who had exchanged a few words with Professor Li, saw the grimacing Chen Han, and asked a little funny, "Who is this?"

Professor Li smiled and introduced bluntly: "Lao Kong's new student, he is the one who discovered the bowl of noodles at La's."

"The noodles were also restored by him with the team."

"By the way, this kid's seal script is still very good, better than most people."

"This is a good seed, so Lao Kong asked me to bring him here to see more of the world."

"We are all old, and in the future Huaxia Archaeology will still have to rely on these young people."

After being praised so bluntly by Professor Li, Chen Han felt a little embarrassed, and quickly reached out to shake Rong Hua's hand, and introduced himself modestly: "Mr. Rong, hello, I'm Chen Han."

"Professor Li is completely overrated. I have just joined the archaeological work, and I still have a lot of shortcomings to learn."

"Jingzhou Cultural Relics Protection Center is a well-known cultural relics protection center in China. It has the leading protection technology in the unearthed bamboo slips, wooden lacquerware, silk fabrics, etc., and has more than 60 skilled cultural relics protection experts."

"I have been famous for a long time, and today I finally have the opportunity to visit and study."

"I came here today with a learning attitude, and I hope Minister Rong can give me some advice."

Regardless of how much Professor Li praised, as a student, Chen Han still has a very clear position on himself.

Before he became a bigwig in the industry, he was an "open-minded student" to the outside world, so he couldn't just swell up at every turn.

People who are academics are more or less arrogant in their bones, and the principle of despising literati is also common in archaeological and academic circles.

In front of Ronghua, one of the top universities in the field of cultural relics protection in China, bragging will only make him feel frivolous, and humility will make him more popular.

Anyway, say a few words about good or bad without losing a piece of meat.

Sure enough, Chen Han praised the words of Jingzhou Cultural Protection Center in his modesty, which immediately made Ronghua laugh out loud.

Kong Jianwen, as the deputy director of the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences, is naturally well-known to almost everyone in the domestic archaeological circle.

Ronghua and Kong Jianwen also had several intersections.

He was very satisfied with Kong Jianwen's new disciple, and pointed at Chen Han with a smile: "Old Kong is fine, I accept you as a talking disciple."

"Don't worry, I'm just saying this to you. Today I will definitely show you the "big baby" in our Jingzhou Cultural Protection Center, so that you can see and learn from it!"

"In recent years, the country has become rich, and our center has newly purchased more than 40 sets of advanced equipment such as microscopic infrared spectrometers, scanning electron microscopes, laser Raman, and ultra-depth-of-field microscopy systems!"

"It will open your eyes for a while!"

Chen Han smiled without saying a word.

Goal achieved!
He came today to experience the cutting-edge restoration technology of cultural relics!

Looks like it was a worthwhile trip this time!
"Let's go, don't stand still at the door, let's go in and talk."

"Let's also look at what you have dug up on Phoenix Mountain at the Archaeological Institute of the Academy of Social Sciences."

"Let me tell you, the Lao Rao of the Hubei Institute found a lot of good things. They found a letter to the ground in the No. 10 tomb!"

"And a stone inkstone platform was also found, which is also a very rare cultural relic."

Ronghua led Professor Li and Chen Han to the cultural preservation center, and at the same time shared some news with them.

People from the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences are not the only ones excavating the Fenghuangshan Han Tombs!
As a major archaeological city, Jingzhou has many local archaeological forces.

Hubei Institute of Archaeology, Jingzhou Museum, Jingzhou Institute of Archaeology, and Jingzhou Archaeological Exploration Brigade are all participating in this large project.

Everyone is also getting good news.

Of course, the most clear about the archaeological results of the various archaeological teams is the Jingzhou Cultural Heritage Center.

Because no matter which archaeological team, the excavated things have to be sent here.

Rong Hua happily shared what he knew with Professor Li and Chen Han.

Of course, Professor Li didn't want to be compared, so he said proudly, "Old Rong, we also found a letter to the ground in tomb M-168!"

"Moreover, we also discovered the stone inkstone, which is even more comprehensive. It is a complete set of treasures for the study, including brushes, inks, sharpeners, inkstones, and slips!"

"Speaking of which, this treasure of the study was discovered by Xiao Chen."

"Hey, a whole set!" Rong Hua looked at Chen Han in surprise.

After seeing Chen Han nodding his head affirmatively, Ronghua said, "That is indeed precious. As far as I know, this is the first set in the whole country!"

"Ham, this is just a small discovery!" Professor Li waved his hand pretending not to care, approached Ronghua, and said mysteriously: "The real heavyweight discovery is yet to come."

"Xiao Chen found a batch of four baht and a half taels from the Western Han Dynasty in the coffin chamber, and then we confirmed that the owner of the tomb was born in the period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty through the report to the ground."

"Old Rong, do you know how significant this discovery is?"

Hearing this, Ronghua took a deep breath: "Then this is really a major discovery, and it directly solves a historical controversy!"

However, as a member of the Jingzhou Cultural Protection Center, Ronghua must be more inclined to the local archaeological institute in Jingzhou.

He raised his eyebrows, put his hand on Professor Li's shoulder, and said with a smile: "But, Lao Li, you are not the only ones who unearthed archaeological discoveries that shake the historical records."

"A batch of bamboo slips were unearthed from Tomb No. 10 in Fenghuang Mountain led by Lao Rao."

"The number is not much, only more than 170 pieces."

"But the things recorded in it are not simple, covering all aspects of taxation, commerce, lending, and corvee during the Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty."

"The most important thing is that some content is missing from the history books."

"Furthermore, the content reflected in the bamboo slips is not too good, and it may even shake the first prosperous age in our country's feudal society, the "Government of Wenjing"!"

"Come, come, I'll take you to see these bamboo slips!"

　Things related to the government will not be written in depth in the article.

　　In fact, a lot of work has been done on the examination of archaeologists and the protection of unearthed objects.

　　Anyway, as long as you know that the so-called archaeologists give and receive privately, conceal the unearthed objects, and steal the beams by themselves, they are all ridiculous things.
　　It's not that no one has ever done this before, but that those who dared to do it and resold them were all arrested and brought to justice.

　　It is true that archaeologists secretly concealed and sold unearthed objects, but as long as they did so, they would be caught and dealt with very strictly.

　　Don’t think that people who have been politically inspected and are always watched by their superiors can resell cultural relics without their superiors knowing. Don’t underestimate the modern government’s ability to track down “individuals of concern”.

　　As long as you want to check, the upper nine generations and the next nine generations can be checked clearly for you.
