When Chen Ai started to do his best, the competition became a crushing game as the senior said. The question and answer were all correct. In the subsequent quick-answer questions, senior Gundam pressed the answering device frantically and kept pressing wildly, while Chen Ai was only responsible for getting up to answer the questions. The two of them slaughtered the whole audience, and did not even give others a chance to answer the questions.

Under the attention of everyone, Liyuan won the championship again. However, this championship is different from before, and this championship is crushed.

The competition was over, and all three people participating in the competition were rewarded by the school and the college. Even in the Academy of Literature, Chen Ai had a great reputation. He was remembered by some people before for publishing papers, but this time, he was known to everyone because of his abnormal memory.

When Chen Ai walked on the road, he often met classmates from the Academy of Education or seniors to say hello. He didn't know these people at all, and seemed a little frightened. However, everyone often talked about the competition on that day, and everyone knew that Chen Ai was a very introverted person and didn't blame anything.

After the competition, it was a seven-day holiday. Lao Wang left the dormitory first. He was going to visit Xidu with a senior sister. Zhang Ping was the second to leave. He said he wanted to go home, but only Chen Ai and Aili were left in the dormitory. Strictly speaking, Chen Ai was left alone. Aili went out at night and returned early, so he basically would not stay in the dormitory.

Chen Ai wanted to complete his bibliography homework with peace of mind during this vacation. During these days, Lin Jingjing invited him out several times, but she did not receive any reply from Chen Ai, which made Lin Jingjing, who stayed specifically to accompany Chen Ai, very angry.

Just as Chen Ai was sitting in the dormitory, constantly flipping through books, someone knocked on the door of the dormitory.

Chen Ai stopped, looked at the direction of the door, hesitated for a moment, and opened the door.

Wang Yuan stood at the door with his hands on his waist. Chen Ai saw the dean, and was still a little restrained. He quickly stood aside. The dean walked in swayingly. The dean first looked at their dormitory, "Well, it's not bad, it's clean, much better than other dormitories... It's not bad, it's not bad."

As the dean said, he walked to Chen Ai's desk again, looked down at his homework and the books he borrowed.

"Are you interested in Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties?"

"Operation."

The dean nodded and saw Chen Ai standing aside with a slightly restrained look. He smiled and asked Chen Ai to sit down. He also moved a chair and sat beside Chen Ai, signaling Chen Ai to continue writing. Chen Ai was stunned for a moment and then began to continue writing his paper. The dean looked at it seriously without interrupting him.

After watching for a long time, when Chen Ai stopped writing, the dean slowly spoke: "The homework you wrote is too shallow... too shallow."

Chen Ai looked at the dean in surprise.

"However, you have used all the knowledge you have learned now... It's pretty good... Have you Professor Liu said that historical materials are divided into many types?"

Chen Ai nodded and repeated what Professor Liu said word by word.

"Hmm..." Wang Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "That's right. Archaeology defines Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, which is different from what they define. Do you want to listen?"

Chen Ai nodded hurriedly.

Wang Yuan continued: "Well, our definition is divided according to archaeological excavation. We divide the archaeology of Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties into three phases and five sections according to the development of slave society. "

"The first stage was the early slave society...that is, the Xia Dynasty, the time division was from the 21st century BC to the 16th century BC, which of course represents the Erlitou culture. What does the bronze weapons represent?" Wang Yuan suddenly asked.

"Represents the division of labor between agriculture and handicrafts."

"That's right! Bronze farm tools appeared earlier, but the unearth of bronze weapons officially represents the division of labor between handicrafts and agriculture. You are very smart." Wang Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

"In this period, there were unearthed currencies, large areas of palaces and city walls, which meant that the state machine had appeared, and the phenomenon of murder and sacrifice and the emergence of copper ritual vessels meant that the ritual system of slave society appeared, and the symbols of bronze ware were the prototype of the text!"

"The second stage is the middle-term slave society, which is equivalent to the early stage of the Shang Dynasty... Erligang, Zhengzhou, Panlongcheng, Hubei, and the first phase of Yinxu Culture... all belong to this period. We dug up the city here... The emergence of the city is a huge progress."

"And the progress of the ritual system is even greater...a complete set of ritual instruments, special ritual clothes, and a detailed system for sacrificing human sacrifices..."

"The third stage is the middle-term slave society... the late Shang Dynasty and the early Western Zhou Dynasty... the text has matured, the etiquette system has matured, and the state machinery has become increasingly perfect... You don't know how much we dug out, which is enough to shock the world!"

"The fourth stage, the front end of the late slave society...the middle and late Western Zhou Dynasty to the early Spring and Autumn Period..."

"The fifth stage...the back end of the late slave society...the middle and late spring and autumn..."

Wang Yuan finished the third and fifth paragraphs, and said with a smile: "You are distinguishing Tai Swo, right? The slavery etiquette, architecture, war, etc. recorded in Tai Swo... You can dialectically pass the third stage, that is, the archaeological unearthed cultural relics in the later stage of the middle slave society..."

"That is, the second, third, and fourth period remains of Yinxu culture..."

"Do you understand?"

Chen Ai hurriedly asked, "As long as the ritual system mentioned in him actually does not match the unearthed cultural relics, can he tell whether it is a forgery?"

"If you do history, you cannot be so arbitrary... Even if you determine the authenticity of historical materials, you cannot directly determine it. There must be sufficient reasons. Unearthing cultural relics is only one aspect of judging historical facts. You must learn to analyze from multiple aspects... Well, but you are just a freshman... Some of them need to be learned..."

Chen Ai nodded and listened to the dean's words.

"You look at the previous academic circle, which attached importance to the political development of the Han Dynasty, but ignored the Qin Dynasty, believed that Qin did not have any discoveries worth studying, and even arbitrarily determined that some historical materials about the Qin Dynasty were false..." Wang Yuan seemed to remember something interesting, and he recalled with a smile: "Until one day, we found a well."

"well?"

"Yes, on the river beach, I found an ancient well... I took two students down... Hahaha~~", the dean suddenly burst into laughter, his eyes lit up, and shouted: "Do you believe it? I could see a blurry symbol on the wall at a glance, so I shouted, I said don't move! Go up! I'm afraid they will damage these cultural relics..."

"I just stayed to observe... I thought it was a stone carving, but later I found that something was wrong, it didn't look like a stone carving... it was a bamboo slip, and the bamboo slip was stuck there...hahaha~~"

"We immediately started to pull these bamboo slips, digging more and more, and then we simply set up a ladder and everyone went down... more than 10,000 bamboo slips... and a lot of daily necessities... ancient domestic waste... I didn't expect that there would be so many bamboo slips. I just took them up and started oxidizing... and quickly turned black..."

"We are running towards the institute without stopping."

"You don't know... The technology was very difficult at that time... it was difficult to dig, it was difficult to preserve, it was difficult to restore... When we were digging, there was no cold light... We just took the candles, and the candle was extinguished because there was no oxygen. We used light bulbs, and the light bulbs exploded later..."

“Wet and cold, anaerobic…”

"Some people squat there, exploring little by little with the faint light... Some people are studying on the spot, wanting to record texts before oxidation... We are afraid of destroying the bamboo slips, and afraid of not rescuing them in time..."

"It started to rain again at that time... the ancient well began to shake due to excavation and might collapse at any time... the well wall was even more shaky..."

"Someone said, why don't you forget it, how many discoveries can Qin, a short-lived dynasty, have? It's not worth taking such a big danger for the bamboo slips..."

"No one spoke, continued to work... Some people started to strengthen the well walls in the dark eleven-meter ancient well... Some people rescued the oxidized bamboo slips in the research institute, and some were recording and deciphering... The ancient well could collapse at any time... and a large group of experts and students were digging down the well..."

Wang Yuan said excitedly.

Chen Ai was fascinated by the sound of his ears and couldn't help but ask, "What about the end?"

"Want to know?"

"Then you can learn archaeology with me... I can tell you more and teach you more, how about it?"
Chapter completed!
