"‘ Pinduoduo ’, what are you going to fight for this pottery?"

"It's a moment of witnessing miracles."

The person who was called "Pinduoduo" by his colleagues in front of him was Shao Jing, a research librarian of the Shaanxi Provincial Institute of Archeology and deputy captain of the Shijie Archeological Team. After more than a dozen hours of fighting, a Tao Ying leaping in 4000 years ago.

In this way, for more than two years, in the tens of thousands of pottery slices unearthed from Huangchengtai, the Royal City of Shijie, Shao Jing has identified more than 20 pottery eagles and basically fights for molding. 3 pieces.

Speaking of the title of "Pinduoduo", Shao Jing said with a smile: "Pindy pottery is a special hard and special test of a certain force. It is often tens of thousands of pottery pieces to spell more than a dozen pieces of utensils. At that time, I was particularly interested in the Pottery Film. In the undergraduate internship in 2005, I participated in all the work of all groups in our team. The hobbies and habits that like to fight with pottery films have been developed since then. "

In Shao Jing's view, it may be doomed from the birth of his fate with archeology: "My family was at the foot of the mountain outside the west gate outside the Tang Dynasty. When I was a kid, I especially liked to see the cultural relics such as stone people, stone horses, and stone lions in the cemetery. "

The natural closeness to the cultural relics and history. Although the archeology major in college was unpopular, Shao Jing chose the archeological major of Northwest University.

"The undergraduate stage is very important, and it will shape your emotions and beliefs for archeology." Recalling the study and practice of the undergraduate stage, Shao Jing said, "I have never regretted choosing archeology. Archeology is a career that must be looking up at the starry sky and down -to -earth Every time there is a new archeological discovery, it will give me respect to the long history of Chinese history and culture. This is a lofty profession. "

"One eclipse, a scoop drink, in the lane, people are unsatisfactory, and they will not change their joy." This passage in the Analects of Confucius is also applicable to Shao Jing, who is on the back of the archeological site all year round. What a difficult environment, he has never shaken his ambition to engage in archeological excavation research.

"In the abandoned village, all the villagers moved away. There was only one stone bridge in the ravine to the outside world. As soon as it was drowning the bridge when it rained, we were" isolated from the world. In the world, you have to go to the toilet from the earth kiln to go to the toilet with a stick to be used to "snake the grass." This is the daily life of Shao Jing, who had just joined the work in 2010, worked in the Cemetery of the Grand Rong Rongren in Huanglingzhai.

Under such difficult conditions, Shao Jing was two years old, and it was excavated here to unearthed a group of Rongren relics during the Warring States Period. cemetery. Huanglingzhai's Touhe Warring States Cemetery was successfully shortlisted for the top ten archaeological discoveries of the country in 2011.

"Departure!" Shao Jing, who had just ended the archeological work of the Zhaotou River Cemetery in early 2012, received a new task and led the archeological team to set off directly from Huangling and rushed to the stone on the north side of the bald town on the north side of Shizhen Village, Shenmubao Town, Shenmu, Yulin.峁 Site.

"For more than 3,000 days here, we feel the hot sun and cold winds in the summer of northern Shaanxi. In the environment of living in earth kiln, scorpion, no water, no electricity, no signal, it will be accompanied by the daily." Shao Jing I wiped the sweat beads on my forehead and pointed to the reporter to the reporter at northern Shaanxi, who was dry in the world, but the more difficult the conditions, the better the remains could be preserved.

Shao Jing's participation and responsible Shenmu Shijie site archeological project has won many important archeological awards at home and abroad, causing strong response in all walks of life. He also grew up from a green archeological novice to a well -known scholar in Shaanxi's archeological community.

"I feel this is not like China!" In 2013, two foreign friends whispered in English while visiting the Shijie site.

"I can understand English. I told foreign friends that this is indeed our China. Archeology is empirical. It does not mean that it has not been discovered before." When it comes to this old thing, Shao Jing is quite proud. Continuously subverting the high understanding of the development of China's early civilization in the early days of China's archeological community is a very important thing for our firm cultural self -confidence. "

"You can't simply consider the archeological cause as digging a few ruins and publishing a few papers. Since the date of birth of Chinese archeology, it has a strong sense of home country feelings and awareness." Shao Jing said that he was archeological work in the new era. Those who must adhere to the original intention of Chinese archeology, focus on enhancing historical consciousness and firm cultural self -confidence, and explore the source of the long river of history to the source of Chinese civilization, so that the Chinese civilization continues to glow with new vitality and vitality.
