Cover news reporter Xun Chao

Speaking of archeology, everyone has their own understanding. Some people say that the archeology is cool, like exploring the sea of ​​stars, full of romantic colors; others say that the archeology is very bitter and always excavate the similar work at the scene, and the wind meals and sleep; ", Explore the past of human beings, trace the source of civilization. So, from the perspective of real archeologists, what is archeology?

On the evening of July 23, Zhao Hao, the person in charge of the excavation site of the No. 8 pit of the Sanxingdui site sacrifice area, Zhao Hao, an associate professor at the Peking University Archaeological Board Institute, was a guest "Cover and opened the Archaeological Chinese Special". , Live sharing his understanding of archeology, and taught many archeological knowledge to everyone. Professor Zhao, who had already claimed to have a bad chat, talked for more than an hour in the face of the enthusiasm of netizens. In the meantime, the wonderful language is the mysterious veil of archeological work.

Zhao Hao

With a curiosity,

In -depth experience in archeology experience the historical and cultural appearance of various places

"Archeology is the same as any work. There are both hard side and fun side." Before coming to Samsung Dou, Zhao Hao once excavated, investigated and research in fields in the bronze era in Shaanxi, Henan, Gansu and other places. "Archeology has a benefit, that is, you will experience the historical and cultural appearance of various places in depth, which is completely different from reading historical books."

In his opinion, the ancient society recorded in historical documents was relatively limited. The archeology, you may not be able to imagine or see it entally. The archeological will make up for our understanding of ancient society, and this understanding is many aspects. "

In terms of work fun, archeology will also satisfy Zhao Hao's curiosity. "A distant star does not seem to have much effect on our real life, but people will still be curious to understand it. Just curious. We often joke and say that astronomy is the same as looking at archeology, because you see the light of that star may be the light of hundreds of millions of years ago, and the archeological relics we see may be thousands of years Former archeological relics. When you see different past society in your work, your curiosity will be greatly satisfied. "

In addition to being satisfied with curiosity, Zhao Hao's sense of accomplishment also comes from the display of archeological results. "For example, we have discovered a better site, sites like Sanxingdui, on the one hand, we can be used as the key content of personal research, and on the other hand, we are very willing to show our excavation results to the public. It provides a cultural product for the public, and provides you with a cultural product that is beyond your main business. "

The archeology is not boring, but it is very rigorous

Need to be patient during work

In Zhao Hao's narration, we seem to feel the romantic side of archeological work, but in fact, the work of archeologists is very rigorous and serious. "Just like the doctor we often mention, maybe in a broad sense, the doctor’s work is to save the wounded, very noble, very romantic. The surgery in front of us is done. We are like this now. Every archeologist will have a relatively high goal, but this high goal actually needs to fall into the actual work every day. "

As the "pit chief" of Sanxingdui, Zhao Hao's goal is to reproduce the cultural appearance of the ancient Shu area. "But for our on -site excavations, the first thing we need to complete is to do a good job of excavation at the scene to ensure that the scene can be collected on the scene to collect the scene to the scene to collect them to the scene. All kinds of ancient information are complete and securely collected before you can do the next step. "

In the live broadcast, Zhao Hao took the bronze altar unearthed from the 8th pit of Sanxingdui as an example. "This multi -class altar began to show it up from the earliest to the end. . In this process, the daily work progress is very small, because it involves a lot of judgments and mutual work. "

Does this mean that archeological work is boring? In this regard, Zhao Hao explained: "How do you understand that our work is very daily. For example, every day needs to be continuously counted and checked every thing in it. It involves this content. But some of our new discoveries are obtained in the constant repeatedness, and it needs to be patient. "In his opinion," archeology is not boring, it is only very slow to work. The work will make you feel boring. If you are more irritable and unbearable in your personality, you may not be suitable for this job. "

In addition to patience, Zhao Hao also emphasized the importance of carefulness and keenness in archeology. "Many important discoveries started from the small end. For example, in the excavation process of Sanxingdui, many pits have ivory residues. For those of us with experience, we may know that it is ivory residue at a glance. However, in this case, it cannot be simply processed. It is also necessary to carefully observe what there is on the ivory residue and what are the decorations. Because it is indeed on many ivory residues, we have discovered the exquisite carvings. This requires carefulness, which requires carefulness, which requires carefulness, which requires carefulness, which requires carefulness, which requires carefulness, which requires carefulness, which requires carefulness, which requires carefulness, which requires carefulness, which requires carefulness, which requires carefulness, which requires carefulness. I also need to be keen. I see this thing quickly without using the microscope. "

The team uses three -dimensional high -precision modeling to record the Sanxingdui site

The mysterious Sanxingdui is known as "one of the greatest archeological discoveries of humans in the 20th century". Because of its peculiar shape and rare shape, some people even speculated that it was "alien civilization". In this regard, Zhao Hao said with a smile: "It must not be an alien civilization. Many situations indicate that it is still a local civilization in Sichuan. In fact, not only the public, we will feel that there are many very strange Samsung Dou as a professional professionals. The utensils, this shows that we know less. If you return to a one or two hundred years ago, the archaeologists at the time saw the utensil unearthed from the Central Plains region, and they would also feel very strange. Now everyone says that Bronze Ding and Bronze Zun will know. What is because it is commonplace. "

Speaking of this, Zhao Hao emphasized that don't blindly think that only the bronze cultural relics unearthed in the Central Plains are what should be in the culture of Chinese bronze. "In fact, the development of civilization in various parts of China is not weaker than the Central Plains, and it has its own characteristics. We have to go out of the concept of the" Central Plains Center "in the past and look at the social history of various regions. Studies are very critical to understanding the social development of southwestern China. "

Zhao Hao

From Samsung Dou in 1986, it was shocked to the world to the archeological excavations of eight sacrifice pit. Zhao Hao admitted: The longer the working hours, the different from the understanding. "As the cultural relics continued to be unearthed, our understanding and knowledge of knowledge at the time were constantly updated. New excavations provided our archeological work that provided different content from before. The new supplement has completely opened up the archeological new world. "

The continuous "new" unearthed cultural relics on Samsung Dou also aroused the attention of the world. However, Zhao Hao does not expect every public to become an archaeological expert. "From an academic perspective, archeology is a humanistic discipline. From a social service perspective, it is a cultural industry. Watching TV series and movies is the same. We will look forward to the public's work in addition to their own work, have some understanding of archeology, and have some related concepts of ancient history, but it is impossible for every audience to enter the museum. Archaeological experts. But if one or two of them make you amazing, when you say it is beautiful, you have a pleasant ornamental, "you can."

While archaeological excavation, Zhao Hao and his archeological team were also using three -dimensional high -precision to record the Sanxingdui site. "The site is a non -renewable resource. When the utensils are taken out and the museum is displayed, the archeological excavation site status does not exist. Although these utensils will be taken away, we do 3D projection, which will improve efficiency, improve accuracy and rich pictures. Sex, show you the site of the site, show how these utensils are buried. In the future, everyone can visit, you can take 3D glasses to see our scene. "
