Chapter 127 Believe it or not
"Brother, do you want to bring some equipment?"

"No need, the Institute of Culture and Museum has it, the National Museum and the Forbidden City have it?"

"What about the information?"

"Not to mention...the information on the National Museum and the Forbidden City is more comprehensive than ours? As long as people go..."

"what?"

Li Ding'an was a little dazed: The instruments and materials are more complete than those of the School of Culture and Museum. Among the people who went there, Gao Shengdong with the highest rank was also a teaching assistant. So what is the purpose of the joint research between the National Museum and the School of Culture and Museum?
Is it really just to pave the way for yourself?

Gao Shengdong looked around, and then sighed: "Let me put it this way: In terms of cultural relics from the Ming and Qing Dynasties and modern times, except for the masters like Ding Yuan and Professor Wu, the rest of our school is still a bit behind the National Museum and the Forbidden City..."

Li Ding settled down for a while, and then remained silent.

The rest naturally refers to the comparison of school professors with the researchers of the National Museum and the National Museum, as well as the comparison of professionalism and academic level...Of course, it only refers to the Ming, Qing, and modern periods.

It's not that Beijing University is bad, but that the time span is too wide.

Take a look at the research scope of archeology at Peking University: How long is the historical period from the Paleolithic Age to before the founding of the People's Republic of China?
However, the National Museum is different from the Forbidden City, especially the Forbidden City, which focuses on the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the time span is less than 500 years.Compared with the two, what is the time gap?

It's been a million years.

Furthermore, the nature and focus are different: Beijing University is for teaching, while museums are for collection and display. The level and quantity of cultural relics are not at the same level...

Thinking secretly, the two arrived at the door of a laboratory, and Gao Shengdong gently pushed the door open.

There were seven or eight people inside, more women than men, and they were surrounding an instrument, as if they were researching something.Li Dingan took a look. It was a C-14 tester, and there were a few pieces of broken porcelain next to it. It was probably dating something.

Hearing the movement, everyone looked over and saw that it was Gao Shengdong and a young man they didn't know, and most of them were doing what they should do.

Only a female teacher in her early 30s greeted her: "Teacher Gao!"

"This is Assistant Teacher Bai, Teacher Bai!"

Li Ding'an said respectfully, "Mr. Bai is good!"

Bai Ru was a little curious.

Such a young man with such an attitude must be a student.However, there are only three or two students from the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing departments, which one does she not know?
"newcomer?"

After thinking for a while, her eyes lit up: "Is that... Junior Brother Li?"

Gao Shengdong nodded: "Yes!"

With a "shua", everyone turned their heads again.

More than two months ago, Professor Wu mentioned that a new classmate was coming in a master's and doctoral class, and explained that he was absent from class due to illness, but no one cared at first.

Later, once the group failed the papers, Professor Wu got angry and said that they were not worthy of carrying Li Ding'an's shoes. At this moment, everyone knew that the student who was about to come was called Li Ding'an.

Then, "Li Ding'an" became Professor Wu's catchphrase, and he didn't say what he did, he just said "I don't deserve this for Li Ding'an", "I don't deserve that for Li Ding'an"...

Therefore, this name is engraved in the minds of all students, whether they are undergraduates, masters, or doctors.

At the same time, everyone knew that Li Dingan was not ill, otherwise Professor Wu would not have seen him often, let alone said that.

I don't know what I'm busy with and why I don't come to class.Anyway, everyone who wasn't curious and didn't look forward to it wanted to see if this junior had grown superhuman.

Fortunately, I finally saw someone...

Of course, there is no such thing as three-headed and six-armed. On the contrary, it is very eye-catching, like a star.There was a faint smile on his face, and there was a delicate and elegant temperament all over his body.

And very polite.

Li Dingan bowed slightly: "Hello, seniors!"

Teacher Bai was curious again: "Mr. Gao, this is..."

"Jumping in... oh, Ding Yuan agreed..."

The eyes of the seven graduate students lit up at the same time: Sure enough...

If you are not convinced, there must be such a trace.After all, in terms of employment, finance, journalism and other majors are all weak in front of the archeology department.Those who dare to learn this and apply for a master's or doctoral degree in archaeology must not only have a good family background, but also must be quite good.The requirements for knowledge accumulation are not high, but quite high.

Therefore, you are all the proud sons of heaven, why should I lift your shoes for you?
But there are all the politeness that should be there, and there are scattered voices in the laboratory:
"Hello there!"

"Hello, junior..."

"Come on, Junior Brother Li, come and study together..."

"There is no rush for research, let me inform you about one thing first." Gao Shengdong cleared his throat, "There are three new topics, Professor Wu asked me to inform everyone..."

A thin boy raised his hand and interrupted directly: "Assistant Gao, what is the subject?"

Gao Shengdong paused for a moment: "Qing Dynasty jade and porcelain."

"Isn't there already a topic related to Qing Dynasty porcelain, why develop a new project?"

"We have developed a jade project? It's rare..."

"I guess it's just a brief introduction. If you want to talk about jade, you have to look at the Han and Tang Dynasties..."

"Brother Gao, can you ask who is leading the team, Dean Ding, Professor Wu, or Associate Professor Wang?"

"Oh, none of them, I lead the group... But Li Ding'an is in charge of the specific research content and paper direction..."

With a "swish", everyone's eyes lit up again, including the assistant coach Bai Ru, all of them were staring at Li Ding'an closely.

It's fine to let the freshmen transfer to the class, and let the freshmen actually take charge of specific projects, and there are only three in one area?
Don't play like this?
Turn around and think again: Let "Gao Dianyan" lead the group?
Oh... It seems that there are nine out of ten reasons for Li Dingan to skip a grade. In order to write a thesis, the college specially gave the green light, so a few small projects were ordered.

It can also be seen from this: this person is either a related household or a child of a high-ranking official.

But being blown up to the sky by Professor Wu, I don't know how much real talent is?
Most people are guessing Li Ding'an's identity, but they don't know anything about the project itself.

Sorry, I don't like holding stinky feet, and I don't like lifting shoes...

"Assistant Gao, participation is not compulsory, is it?"

"no!"

"That's good... I've just started my Ming Dynasty porcelain project."

"Me too... The previous paper on enamel painting was sent back twice by Professor Wu..."

"I can't go either..."

Just knew it would be like this.

Gao Shengdong was a little displeased, but also a little helpless: "You really don't want to go?"

"It's not that I don't want to go, it's that I don't have time..."

"Yes, no time..."

Among the seven people, five people said the same thing, only one handsome girl and one short and stocky boy hesitated a little.

Of course, they don't want to flatter them. The problem is that the number of papers for this semester is still far behind.

No matter, the third author is the third author, and the fourth is also fine...

"Assistant Gao, take me with you!"

"And I……"

"Then Yan Zongjiang and Shen Yingxiu...are there any more? A friendly reminder: report for review this afternoon, and the project will officially start tomorrow. I will miss it, but I will really miss it..."

"Don't worry, I won't..."

"Assistant Gao, I really don't have time!"

"Okay!" A schadenfreude flashed in Gao Shengdong's eyes: But please don't regret it...

"Then you two, get ready and report to me tomorrow."

Shen Yingxiu raised her hand: "Assistant Gao, how long will it take?"

Gao Shengdong looked at Li Dingan, and Li Dingan shook his head: "The three projects are quite complicated, so it's really hard to say how long it will take to study!"

Someone next to him secretly sneered: "It seems that you are so good at pretending..."

Coming here is basically for these three things: introduction, notification, and selection.When things are settled, there is no need to delay.

And there is still a lot to prepare, Li Dingan immediately bid farewell to the seniors and sisters he just met: "Senior brothers and sisters, let's get busy first..."

"A few small papers, don't be in such a hurry, right?"

Tan Hongwu was the one who was interrupted in the middle of Gao Shengdong's speech. He adjusted his glasses first, then pointed to the instrument with a smile, "Being famous is worse than meeting each other. Junior brother Li, why don't you give me some pointers."

The attitude is very polite, the tone is very polite, but the meaning is quite impolite.

Of course, it had nothing to do with Li Ding'an, it was all caused by Professor Wu...

Gao Shengdong raised his feet, and stopped immediately when he heard these words, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

To be honest, he had been waiting for this day for half a month.

He smiled playfully: "Then do some research?"

Li Ding'an was very helpless: You don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, right?
But you really have to show your hand, otherwise God knows if such a mess will last forever?
"Brother Tan is polite, how can you dare to give pointers?"

As he spoke, he took two steps forward and looked at the instrument screen first.It should be that the thing has just been put in, and it still shows that it is being tested, so there is no result.

Then, he looked at the two tiles next to him.

They are two pieces of white porcelain, which look like part of a porcelain bowl.But it feels a little strange: the inner wall of the bowl is smooth and shiny, but the outer wall is dark and dull.

In fact, the inner wall is glazed, but the outer wall is unglazed, so it just happens to be the opposite of ordinary porcelain...

"Brother Tan, is this anti-porcelain?"

Hmm, a little knowledgeable?

However, as long as they are playing Qing Dynasty porcelain, they can recognize it as long as they are a little professional. Therefore, for graduate students majoring in "Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing archaeology, ceramic archaeology", this is only a basic skill.

Tan Hongwu nodded: "Is there any more?"

Of course!
Li Ding'an pointed to the porcelain piece: "This should be the rough embryo of the enamel color!"

Hey yo...

For a moment, everyone cheered up.

This is what I learned, and of course the graduate students present can recognize it.But after a few glances, there are only one or two people who can be recognized so clearly, including Tan Hongwu.

It seems that there are indeed two brushes, no wonder Professor Wu always lifts and blows...

Bai Ru also became interested: "Is there any more?"

not enough?
OK, then I'll finish it all at once.

Li Ding'an nodded: "Yes... This is Hong Xian's enamel porcelain body, not produced by official kilns, but it is also a famous work, from Guo Shiwu's 'Zhai'..."

what?
Everyone was a little confused.

With just a few glances, you dare to judge so clearly without even touching your hands: Hongxian of the Republic of China?

The so-called Hong Xian refers to Yuan Shikai's reign when he proclaimed himself emperor, which was only 83 days old.It can be said that he not only broke the generation, but also directly broke the "season"...

If you want to say who has this ability... Don't be kidding.

If you can see it just by looking at it with your eyes, why use the "C-14" instrument to detect it?
No... C-14 is definitely not so accurate, and the minimum time interval value is about 20 years.What's more, Li Ding'an also mentioned Guo Wushi, Gou Zhai...

Dare to ask him the second half of the sentence, what kind of instrument can be used to measure it.

Not to mention these graduate students and the two teaching assistants, even if Professor Wu is invited, is it so fast, is it so sure?
Everyone was still in a trance, Li Dingan sighed softly, and walked out of the laboratory, Gao Shengdong hurriedly followed.

Hearing the sound of closing the door, seven students and one assistant woke up like a dream.

"Really or not... This is also seen...too fast?"

"Yeah, it's really just two eyes, it hasn't been a minute, and you haven't even started?"

"It must be Hu Meng's!"

"Even if the back is covered, he is right about the front!"

"This is...it seems to be a bit level..."

More than a little level?
Bai Ru secretly sighed: Even if he was only half right, Li Ding'an's level surpassed most of the people present.

So, it's not without reason that Professor Wu always uses Li Ding'an to stimulate these darlings...

Just as several people were discussing, the instrument beeped, Bai subconsciously turned his head, and then... the eye sockets collapsed into two circles.

The screen displays a line of data, indicating that the test has been completed.Look at the interval given again: 80-100 years...

In an instant, a weird sense of absurdity arose in her heart: Is it really the porcelain of the Republic of China?
Going one step further, what if it was really Hong Xianci?
Li Ding'an just looked at it casually, can he catch up with the accuracy of the instrument?
No... the instrument is a fart. It took more than half an hour to give the result before and after the measurement, and the dating interval can be at least "yearly", and there may even be an error of more than ten or twenty years.

But when Li Dingan opened his mouth, he concluded that within 83 days, he only watched for a minute or two...

It feels... unbelievable...

Similarly, the eyes of the seven graduate students were not eyes, their noses were not noses... their faces were almost distorted.

"Could it be that... the machine is broken?"

"What nonsense?"

"Will there be an error?"

"There may be errors, but the powder on the glaze was deliberately scraped before, and a mass spectrometer was used to accelerate it, so the error should not exceed 20 years at most..."

80-100 years, even if there may be an error of 20 years, it did not exceed the period of the Republic of China.

But before, everyone who saw it guessed that it was an official kiln enamel color rough tire in the early Qing Dynasty, because the porcelain was very deep, which just fit the characteristics of the enamel color porcelain in the Kangxi period...

How many years have passed between these two periods?

"Could it be... a lie again?"

This time, no one spoke.

Since the introduction of enamel in the Kangxi period, it has been more than 300 years now, why doesn't Li Ding'an talk about other periods, only Hongxian?

They were reluctant to believe it, but the data on the screen of the instrument made them have to admit: even Li Ding'an had already got more than half of it right: anti-porcelain, enamel-colored rough tires, the period of the Republic of China...

Not to mention the "Hong Xianci" and "from Ji Zhai" he said later.To be honest, if you really can be so accurate, what study and research do you have to do? Wouldn’t it be better to buy a lottery ticket?

There was a moment of silence, and the laboratory was silent, until someone pushed open the door, and they regained their senses again.

Seeing seven students plus a teaching assistant, each with strange expressions, Professor Wu was very curious: "What's the matter, why are you stunned?"

Ah...Professor Wu?

That's right... Instead of getting entangled here, why not ask more professional and authoritative people?
Bai Ru came to his senses, exhaled forcefully, and picked up the tiles on the table: "Professor Wu, can I trouble you to take a look?"

"What? Broken porcelain... Where did it come from?"

"Tan Hongwu came back from the imperial weapon factory!"

"In the future, don't bring things of unknown origin to the laboratory!"

Tan Hongwu immediately admitted his mistake: "Teacher, I remember!"

Wu Xiang reprimanded, then took the tile, and looked at it carefully: "The rough embryo of the enamel color... um, this soil?"

After looking at it and thinking about it for a while, Wu Xiang said again: "This should be Hong Xian porcelain, but it was not made by Ju Ren Tang, it should be something from Guo Shiwu's private kiln..."

what?
It was difficult for the eight people not to be confused. They recalled it several times and found that what Professor Wu said and what Li Ding'an said were not a word different?
And it's the same fast, just took a few glances...

Now, who dares to say that Li Dingan is fooled?

Is it really... so powerful?
After a while, Bai Rucai sighed deeply: "Professor Wu, Hong Xianci...doesn't there have any other very distinctive features?"

"Of course, otherwise you think I have sharp eyes and can see so fast?"

Professor Wu smiled and pointed to the stubble of the porcelain piece: "Look here, the color of the porcelain is relatively dark: this is caused by the high iron content in the soil, and in JDZ, only the soil in Yaoli Township has this kind..."

Bai Ru thought for a while: "It means that when Guo Shiwu was ordered by Yuan Shikai to go to JDZ to burn enamel, the official kiln was still at the original site of the Zhushan Royal Kiln, and his own private kiln, that is, 'Zhai' was built in Yaoli Township?"

"Correct!"

For a moment, everyone was silent again.

Feeling lost, Tan Hongwu pondered for a long time: "Professor Wu, in the early days, that is, when enamel was first introduced to China, why did the porcelain have this color?"

"Because Jian Kiln was also in Yaoli Township at that time, it was later found that the color of the soil was too dark, which affected the coloring, so it was moved to Zhushan. However, the enamel color technology in the Republic of China was very perfect, and naturally it was not affected..."

After Wu Xiang explained, he glanced around again, feeling more and more strange.

Why is it like... being stimulated?
"what happened?"

None of the seven students dared to say anything, but Bai Ru sighed heavily: "Just now... Li Dingan came here..."

"Oh...you let him see it too?"

Wu Xiang suddenly realized: "Is it true that he is exactly the same as what I said... Is it also, um... just a simple glance?"

The eight heads all moved down a bit.

"Ha ha……"

No wonder they all look stupid?
If it's Li Ding'an, then it's not surprising...

Wu Xiang laughed again: "I often said before, what about Li Ding'an, if you don't say it, you will never take it seriously in your heart. Now, believe it?"

The seven graduate students were obsequious, and for a while, they didn't know how to answer...

 I feel that the separate development plots are not coherent, so the two chapters were published together.

  Ask for a monthly ticket again, thank you!
