Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

The happy time is always short, and the hard but happy days come quietly.

The alarm clock at six o'clock rang every five minutes, and Fang Zhijie fell asleep until half past seven.

After that, I rushed to the airport like crazy, and missed the plane by just a hair.

The waiting hall was empty, and the radio was broadcasting: "Flight XXXX to Ximeng is about to take off. Passengers are requested to board the plane as soon as possible."

At the boarding gate, Li Ding'an leaned lazily on the railing, while Shu Jinghao looked anxiously, looking left and right.

This bastard is finally here...

Fang Zhijie was sweating: "Teacher Li, I'm sorry..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Shu Jinghao said with a cold face, "I don't want you to say anything, I'll ask the horse to replace you!"

This time, Guobo assigned Li Ding'an an assistant team of eight people. Shu Jinghao was the team leader. She could really change whoever she wanted to replace.

Fang Zhijie moved his lips: How could he not go?

He also hopes to be promoted to assistant researcher through this project.

Li Ding'an smiled: "Let's go!"

The group picked up their luggage and entered the cabin.

Then, the iron bird soared into the sky.

……

It was mid-afternoon, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and the clouds were sparse.

The desert is vast and quiet. Under the sun, the endless sand dunes shine with golden light.

The wind wasn't strong, but it was bitingly cold, as if a whip had hit my face.

After getting off the bus, a group of students were shivering from the cold.

"It's spring now, it's still noon, why is it so cold...colder than the capital?"

"It's ten degrees above zero in the capital right now, but it's ten degrees below zero here. There's a difference of twenty degrees. Of course it's cold!"

"Shouldn't it get colder at night?"

"I just checked, the highest temperature in Xi City during this period is -5, and the lowest temperature is -30..."

"You are checking the urban area. The key point is that this is a desert, and it will be even colder...it will kill you!"

A group of students chattered and stamped their feet, and then a staff member from the logistics team came to contact them and took them to the dormitory area.

In the past month, the local area has not been idle. Roads have been built, electricity has been connected, the camp has been expanded, and a boiler room has been temporarily built to ensure the basic living needs of the excavation team and the research team.

Of course, the conditions are only average. The dormitories are all made of colored steel. The ground has not had time to harden, but the sand and soil have been compacted and a layer of floor leather has been laid.

A group of students were a little dumbfounded: "How can people live in a tin house?"

"Yeah, I heard it's very windy here. People and houses won't be swept away at night, right?"

"Still a desert, not even a store?"

"Yes, the conditions are too bad. I regret it..."

At first it was just muttering, but gradually it became louder, noisy and noisy.

Suddenly, someone whispered: "Stop talking, the teacher is here!"

It was like pressing the pause button, and there was silence for an instant.

There are six in total, Professor Ge, Professor Zhang, and Gao Shengdong, and then there are three teaching assistants, Bai Ru is also there.

Stopping, Gao Shengdong glanced slowly: "The conditions are very poor, right? I think so too, so it's still too late to regret it... If you don't want to join the group, you can put it forward!"

How can it be?

How many years does it take to encounter a large-scale archaeological project above the ministerial level?
Not to mention on-site excavation, even if you are assigned to the logistics team to serve tea, pour water and sweep the floor, when you graduate, there will be an additional item on your internship resume: Participated in the excavation of ** ruins.

Not only qualifications, but also a golden stepping stone.

So the school has just announced that it will select graduate students from the Department of Han and Tang Dynasties and the Department of Song and Yuan Dynasties to participate in the excavation. The eyes of the students in the Xia and Shang Department next door are all red.

And how much effort did they put in to be selected?
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to quit, even if you beat yourself to death.

Just because I had just finished my vacation and had just celebrated the New Year, and looking at this desert wilderness with no people around, the psychological gap was really a bit big. Plus, I'm used to talking loudly, so I couldn't stop talking for a while...

"If you want to leave, you can apply now. Dean Ding, Professor Wu, and Professor Hou (head of the Department of Han and Tang Dynasties) haven't left yet, so we will approve it for you today!"

Still no one spoke, and they all slowly lowered their heads.

After being silent for a long time, Gao Shengdong sighed again: "Students, please see clearly: this is not a school, but a large-scale archaeological excavation site. The National Museum of China, the Forbidden City, and the local cultural relics department participated in the excavation. Your words and deeds represent more than just Yourselves... So, this is the last time, and next time, I will send you off personally..."

He looked at his watch again: "Each class will be assigned dormitories according to the list. They will gather in half an hour. Do you hear me clearly?"

"Clear!"

"Disband!"

The students immediately dispersed.

Three boys from the second graduate class share a room with a senior from the third graduate class.

After walking more than ten meters, Xiao Jiawen whispered: "Gao Dayan is getting more and more prestigious!"

"Shut up!" Tan Hongwu shouted coldly, "You don't want to graduate?"

At this moment, the current Gao Shengdong is no longer the former assistant teacher Gao who was not respected by the students and could be teased in private.

It was Associate Professor Gao, who was the head of the teaching and research group at Peking University this time.

Although all students know how his associate professor and director came...

Xiao Jiawen lowered his head angrily.

Separating beds, putting luggage, and changing into protective clothing, five minutes in advance, more than 30 students from the Song and Yuan Departments and the Han and Tang Departments stood neatly outside the archaeological cabin.

Gao Shengdong still leads the team, assisted by Professor Ge, Professor Zhang, and three assistant teachers.

Compared with years ago, the ruins area is different again: the entire ancient city is surrounded by archaeological cabins, with walls around it and a roof above it. Then it was divided into more than 20 blocks, large and small, according to the order of priority and specific building types. A cabin was built outside the cabin, and two more layers were added, one for windproof and thermal insulation, and the other for storing cultural relics and facilitating visits.

Standing on the third floor, you have a panoramic view of the entire ancient city.

"The area doesn't seem very big?"

"It's not big, but it depends on the specific geographical location and the specific nature: outside the Guxuan Great Wall, the remaining capital of the Tang Dynasty."

"This is just a statement based on expectations, and it definitely needs to be verified."

"I heard that key cultural relics have been unearthed."

"That's amazing: from the end of the Tang Dynasty to the present, it has been more than a thousand years, but you see, the wooden plaques of the ancestral temple are still there?"

"I heard that when it was first discovered, the entire ancient city was completely buried in sand, which is why it is so complete."

"What else do you need to hear? Haven't you noticed that the entire ruins is in a big pit, and the surrounding sand dunes are still so fresh?"

"You mean, this is an underground city?"

"Correct."

"Then how did you discover it in the first place?"

"I heard they use a compass."

Many students were stunned: "What the hell?"

"It's the kind of compass used by Feng Shui warlocks... But I only heard that this is not only an ancient city in the late Tang Dynasty, but also the first Feng Shui type site discovered."

"First discovery?"

"almost."

They are all majoring in archaeology. After thinking about it for a while, it suddenly became clear: This is really the first time I have heard the term "Feng Shui type site". According to this, isn't it the first time it has been discovered?

"I've only heard of using a compass to find ancient tombs, but never. Can this thing be used to find ancient city ruins?"

"It's really fantasy."

Several professors looked at each other and smiled: There is something more mysterious.

It was just a general visit to get a preliminary understanding of the site. Since there was no dedicated person to explain it, the three professors allowed the students to discuss it.

We walked around the perimeter of the ancient city and looked at the cultural relics.

First is the architectural category: stone carvings, carved bricks, eaves, carved beams, painted buildings, colorful columns...

Although it is the ruins of the Tang Dynasty, the architecture of China's capital cities is in the same line. From the Han Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, there is no gap between the dynasties and the generations. Students of the Song and Yuan Dynasties who understand the Han and Tang Dynasties also understand it.

Therefore, when someone recognized that the layout here was exactly the same as the Forbidden City in Beijing, the students were particularly surprised and the discussion became more heated.

“Who designed and built the Forbidden City?”

"It should be Yang Qing who supervised the construction, and some say it was Cai Xin who built the palace and made him the capital's engineer. Qing was good at planning, and all the systems were respected and the materials were used according to the purpose... It is unclear who designed it, but the legend is Yao Guangxiao, Yuan Gong, Jin Zhong!”

"Haha, they traveled to the Tang Dynasty?"

"Of course it's impossible, but these three are all famous fortune tellers, and the Forbidden City is the imperial capital, so the design should have drawn on many Feng Shui theories from the previous dynasty!"

"I guess it's the same here."

"I understand: it's really possible to find this ancient city with a compass."

"Is the National Expo so powerful?"

"Otherwise it can be called a national expo?"

"But why doesn't the school teach it?"

"I don't know, maybe it involves feudal superstition..."

The three professors looked at each other: What does this have to do with feudal superstition and whether it is taught in schools or not?
It doesn’t even have much to do with the National Museum of China. It’s purely self-taught by Li Ding’an...

After a brief look, a group of people walked inside again.

When they saw the bronze bell, the discussion stopped abruptly: The bell of the Tang Dynasty is an important weapon of the country.

This cultural relic alone can completely prove the nature of this ancient city: the legacy capital of the Tang Dynasty.

Looking further down, we are even more shocked: the founding ceremony utensils of the Jin Dynasty, the statue of Empress Dowager Chengtian of the Liao Dynasty, the letter of credence of the Chanyuan Alliance, the surrender of Jingkang...

Therefore, there is no need to doubt: this ancient city, at worst, has ancient buildings and ancient cultural sites above the provincial level. In other words, Bi Lun and Bi She are completely stable.

Suddenly, the students became excited again and felt that no matter how difficult the conditions were, it would not be a problem.

After visiting the ruins and cultural relics for more than an hour, Gao Shengdong said a few more words: "That's it for today. I'll give out meal cards and work permits later. Take them all with you and don't lose them, especially the work permit... …Someone will take you to the canteen later. The monitors of each class will organize it. Don’t run around after eating, and study together…”

Tan Hongwu became bolder and asked: "Professor Gao, what are you studying?"

"Let me see if the conditions here are really that bad!"

Remembering the bitter and thinking of the sweet?

Gao Shengdong smiled and was about to take them down, but Professor Zhang pointed down: "Professor Gao, wait a moment, it seems a leader is coming."

Everyone looked downstairs: Many people suddenly appeared outside the office area that was empty just now?
The students didn't know who these people were, but the professors came a day earlier and knew most of them: they were all local leaders.

Not far away, two off-road vehicles were driving this way... It seemed like a bigger leader was coming.

The dormitory area is right behind the office area. It is really not good to go down hastily. Gao Shengdong nodded: "Then wait a moment!"

As he spoke, two cars stopped. A man in his thirties took two quick steps and seemed to be helping the leader open the door.

We met yesterday, and several professors had the impression that this person, surnamed Zuo, is the director of the District Department of Culture and Tourism, and is responsible for the logistics of the excavation site.

Sure enough, it was the leader who came...

After thinking about it, the car door opened, a young man jumped out of the car, and several professors took a casual look. But then, everyone's necks were thrust forward: Li Ding'an?
Professor Ge suddenly froze: "Professor Gao, Professor Zhang, why do I look like... Li Ding'an?"

We haven’t seen each other for a long time, can you still admit your mistake? (End of chapter)
