Master Archaeologist

Chapter 93 Old Classmates

Inside the Suizhou Yellow Crane Tower Hotel.

In a large banquet hall on the second floor, more than 20 large tables were filled with people, and the sound of pushing glasses and changing glasses was endless.

On the third table in the front row.

Chen Han was also among them.

After returning to the construction site and putting down their luggage, everyone from the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences went straight to the Yellow Crane Tower Hotel.

After a series of formalistic behaviors such as speeches by the leaders on the stage and congratulations on the New Year, the commencement banquet officially began.

The local government in Suizhou is still very strong, and the start-of-work banquet for everyone is indeed luxurious.

Big green dragon, steamed wild big pomfret, baked Dalian abalone with minced cheese meat, sea cucumber and cordyceps health soup, sweet bird's nest sago dew...

This table of dishes costs at least 500 yuan per person!
Colleagues from the Institute of Archaeology, Academy of Social Sciences sat at two tables, with Kong Jianwen and Professor Li as the leaders of the two tables respectively.

Compared with the official leaders, Kong Jianwen and the others are less formalistic.

Kong Jianwen, who obviously didn't drink, but whose face was flushed, held a glass of grape juice, stood up and said with a smile:

"Come, come, replace the wine with a drink, let's touch one together!"

"It is also a rare thing for everyone to get together to celebrate the Spring Festival!"

"I don't wish everyone a fortune, and those who work in our business can't get rich either."

"I'm here, so I wish everyone all the best and smooth sailing on the road of archaeology!"

At the same table, more than a dozen colleagues from the Institute of Archaeology, Academy of Social Sciences, all smiled and toasted with Kong Jianwen.

After drinking a drink instead of wine, Kong Jianwen didn't say anything more, and with a wave of his hand, the banquet was over!
Zhuang Yunpeng, who had been staring at the big abalone on the table for a long time, picked up an abalone and stuffed it into his mouth with lightning speed.

"Delicious! It's worthy of a five-star hotel!"

Seeing Zhuang Yunpeng's very appetizing eating, everyone happily moved their chopsticks to enjoy the food.

"Eat, eat, eat more."

"If it's not enough, you can add more. Today's goal is to eat until you can't move!"

"Everyone, you're welcome, anyway, it's not money from the institute!"

After eating delicious food, everyone is also happy.

Now that you have entered the field of archaeology, you must be mentally prepared to work overtime on holidays.

Although this situation is very rare, the rarer it is, the more important it is.

Now there is a beautiful start-of-work banquet, and I feel the importance of the Suizhou local government, and everyone feels a lot better.

Half an hour later, more than a dozen dishes on the table entered everyone's stomach like a storm.

After eating and drinking enough, everyone started chatting.

One after another, all the people attending the banquet also left their seats, and they walked around and greeted colleagues who were familiar with other brother units.

A Chinese banquet soon turned into a western buffet banquet.

Everyone formed different small circles in twos and threes, chatting with each other.

The circle of archeology is really small, especially the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences is still a mobile department, and often travels all over the country.

Therefore, people in the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences are basically social butterflies in the archaeological circle.

Don't talk about those old qualifications.

Even Chen Han met many acquaintances at the kick-off banquet.

There are brothers and sisters who have entered the School of Archeology and Museology of Peking University as graduate students and PhD students.

There are also classmates who are at the same time as him and have now joined the Hubei Local Archaeological Institute.

That Luo Zhenghao who was chatting in the classmate group was also at the kick-off banquet.

When old classmates meet, they naturally want to hug and greet each other.

Chen Han was the No. 15 professional in the [-]th class of the Department of Archeology of Peking University, and he was considered a celebrity in the department.

After a while, a small circle of the Department of Archeology of Peking University gathered around him.

A senior Chen Han, a senior who helped him at school, looked at him with some resentment and said, "Junior Brother Chen, why didn't you come to the Academy of Archeology and Cultural Museum to study for a Ph. D., but went to the Academy of Social Sciences instead?"

Although it is said that gentlemen and gentlemen are good, but gentlemen and ladies are also good.

This senior thought she could wait for Chen Han at Peking University's Cultural and Museum Institute, so that she could take advantage of her relationship to get closer to him.

You know, even if Chen Han stayed at Peking University, he would definitely be recommended to the Academy of Archeology and Cultural Museum.

Unexpectedly, after graduation, he did not choose to pursue a Ph.D. at Peking University, but instead chose the Academy of Social Sciences.

"Senior sister, although the Academy of Cultural and Museum is now the number one archeology in China, I prefer the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences."

Chen Han blinked mischievously: "The Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences is the only institution in China that can conduct field archaeology all over the country."

Although both are academic institutions.

However, the School of Culture and Museum of Peking University still focuses more on "teaching and educating people", taking a large and comprehensive route.

Although there is no shortage of topics, and there are many archaeological bases across the country for students to study.

But most of the projects require the professors to apply to the higher authorities themselves, and it is hard to say whether they can be approved.

For example, the Zaoshulin Cemetery in Suizhou is a project that the Hubei Institute of Archaeology and Peking University Cultural Museum have applied for for a long time before finally applying.

If the instructor does not have any good projects at Peking University's Cultural and Museum Institute, he may only be able to practice continuously in several archaeological bases.

The Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences is different.

The Institute of Archaeology of the Academy of Social Sciences counts as the superior department of the archaeological institutes in various places, and it is a research institute with the prefix of the country.

Compared with the Institute of Archeology and Museum of Peking University, it takes a small but refined route.

Usually, I mainly do the work of the firefighting captain, and rush to wherever there is something to do, and I can dig it all over the country.

Moreover, the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences can also apply for projects by itself.

Therefore, at the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences, there must be more archaeological projects than at the Institute of Archeology and Museum of Peking University.

Didn't see that Chen Han has already run three different archaeological projects before the first year of his direct blog!

Although the Institute of Archeology and Museum of Peking University has now faintly surpassed the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences, becoming the number one in the field of archaeology in China.

But Chen Han is still more willing to follow Kong Jianwen and handle more excavation projects.

"Okay." The senior sister shrugged and sighed regretfully.

However, she didn't delve into this aspect. Chen Han is not the only handsome guy in this world, if you miss it, you will miss it.

Luo Zhenghao smiled, stretched out his hand, and put his arms around Chen Han's shoulder: "Old Chen, which direction did you choose for your Ph. D., and which big boss did you worship?"

As a classmate who once slept in bunk beds in a dormitory for four years, Luo Zhenghao still cared about Chen Han's current situation.

"I'm currently working under Professor Kong Jianwen, and my research direction is archeology during the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties." Chen Han replied patiently.

After thinking about it, he added: "However, I will not only focus on the archeology of the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties. I am also studying the archaeology of the Qin and Han Dynasties."

"If there is a chance, Tang and Song archaeology also wants to try to study it."

"Hey, Old Chen, you're a bit too ambitious." Luo Zhenghao raised his eyebrows, a little displeased with his bold words.

With the professionalization and institutionalization of domestic archaeology.

Now that Huaxia archaeology has passed that era of large and comprehensive archaeology, most of today's archaeologists are required to focus on the archaeology of one period.

Only specialization can be professional. An archaeological study in the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties is enough to study for a lifetime.

Luo Zhenghao persuaded meaningfully: "Old Chen, let's choose a direction and keep working hard, don't go towards Qin Muchu, in the end it will only be miscellaneous but not refined."

Chen Han smiled and said nothing, neither answered nor refuted him.

You can't tell Luo Zhenghao that you don't panic at all because you have cheats, right?
"Xiao Chen! Come here! I have something to do!"

Just in time, Kong Jianwen called out to stop Chen Han, and he also turned over the topic, apologetically speaking to several classmates, seniors, and seniors: "You talk first, my tutor has something to do with me."

After speaking, he trotted back to table 003.

"Teacher, what do you need from me?"

Kong Jianwen nodded and handed the phone to Chen Han.

"Look, this is from a colleague from the Jingzhou Cultural Protection Center."

"The bamboo slips we unearthed from Tomb No. 168 have come to fruition."

　The Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences is just a research institute.

　　The Institute of Archeology and Museology of Peking University is a master's and doctoral college of Peking University, covering more than ten archaeological related majors.

　　When it comes to the top experts, their levels are not comparable.

　　But in a comprehensive comparison, a research institute with only a few dozen people is definitely not comparable to a college with dozens of professors and hundreds of students.

　　So now the Institute of Archeology and Museum of Peking University has become the number one in the field of archaeology in China.

　　But this doesn't mean that the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences is inferior to them, it's just that the small and fine ones can't compare with the big and comprehensive ones.
