Why are you in such a hurry to dig your ancestral grave?

Thousands of years of Chinese civilization heritage is the pride of all China people, and it is also a cultural heritage shared by all. It is our unshirkable duty to protect this heritage and pass it on from generation to generation in China. Recently, due to the development of economy and the prosperity of tourism, some people can't hold back their passion and plan to "make suggestions" for the faster development of this great situation again. A so-called "famous economist" even published an article on his blog, thinking that now is the best time to open the imperial tomb: "Today is a great opportunity to open the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, and the most suitable time for more than two thousand years is today. Don't wait any longer. " This person claimed that opening the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor could bring about rapid economic development and prosperity of tourism, and claimed that he was "willing to spend at least 2,000 yuan to stay for half a day and take a closer look at the real culture of Chinese descendants more than 2,000 years ago, but countless gentlemen were willing to spend more. Earning this kind of money is beneficial to society and the world. Maybe western gentlemen will respect our past more. " I don't know how this old professor with white hair rose to the position of professor. However, if his above nonsense can't be counted as "nonsense", it is exactly the same as a little girl who just graduated from a technical secondary school and hung up the "tour guide" card to develop her own performance. But is it a scientific attitude for a "professor" to draw conclusions from "possible" things? You take 2000 yuan and put it in for a long time, then pat your ass and leave. How can you protect others? I wonder if The Economist also relied on the attitude of "no guarantee" and "fearless" when analyzing economic development and making forward-looking judgments. But is it a scientific attitude for you to take action on these two things? Can the safety of cultural relics be guaranteed after the construction of the imperial tomb? We have not forgotten the lessons of Dingling excavation in the 1950s. At that time, some "authorities" rashly gave the State Council some suggestions on excavation, saying that what they could learn from it would do more harm than good for understanding and preserving cultural relics. But what is the result after excavation? Not only was the body of Emperor Wanli burned in the later Cultural Revolution, but his coffin and other utensils were also thrown into the ravine. What happened to those silk products that were "protected"? Xu, president of the Archaeological Society of China, recalled: "Even the preserved cultural relics, some robes and clothes were not treated satisfactorily. For example, it is irreversible to add softener to semi-rotten clothes with' polymethylmethacrylate' plastic. Soon, the paint will age and crack and the silk will break. We are really ignorant. " The protection of ancient silk fabrics is also a worldwide problem that has not been solved in archaeology. I don't know what the economist announced: "Today's technology is no problem and can be protected as it should be." What good idea can he think of? We might as well teach experts from China Archaeological Research Institute to make some practical preparations for the commencement of the tomb. Otherwise, you won't see much if you spend two thousand dollars. In view of the lessons learned from the excavation of the Ming Tombs, the State Council has long made it clear that it is forbidden to excavate all imperial tombs. Guo Moruo, an "archaeologist" who was then the president of China Academy of Sciences, wanted to see the original Preface to the Orchid Pavilion by Wang Xizhi, a book sage, in his lifetime, and later suggested to Premier Zhou to excavate the dry tomb of Wu Zetian. Premier Zhou flatly refused: "The imperial tomb will not be open for ten years." It is said that when Guo Moruo was lost, he wrote a poem, "When the secluded palace rises again, he will postpone his conviction and continue to write a new article", which will haunt him to death. But his behavior, apart from bringing a lot of criticism to the authority of his scientific research, not many people will agree with him. Because this is obviously based on "self-interest". It goes against people's hearts, does not attach importance to science, and bears the title of "President of Chinese Academy of Sciences" in vain. According to the archaeologists who participated in the excavation of Mawangdui Han Tomb at that time, after the Mawangdui Tomb was opened, there were utensils for holding food. When I opened the lid, I found that there were sliced lotus roots inside. I only had time to take two photos at that time. After the container was taken from the tomb to the next room, the lotus roots had melted. All experts in cultural relics protection can do nothing but stare. (See Xiong Chuanxin's Major Archaeological Excavations in China. Mawangdui Han Tomb in Changsha) I wonder if this "famous economist" who declared that "there is no problem with science and technology" has any brilliant ideas to solve such problems? Qichang Zhao, then the captain of the Dingling excavation team, said: "I was in favor of digging Dingling at that time, but now I am not in favor of digging any imperial tombs because of everything I have experienced!" Why did he say that? It is because he saw with his own eyes that the cultural relics taken from underground tombs were not better protected than those taken underground, nor did they play a role in letting people know about history and the value of cultural relics, thus promoting the progress of this research work. It was destroyed by human or natural forces in a short time. Those who look for historical treasures for the motherland and the people destroy the treasures they have found in their own hands. Can they not feel guilty? Therefore, Qichang Zhao, now 80 years old, thinks that clamoring to dig the tombs of Wu Zetian and Qin Shihuang is an advertisement for archaeological work. The fruit of civilization has become a commodity, and it has been regarded as a curiosity from top to bottom, including some archaeologists. In fact, archaeology itself has only one value, that is, historical value, but nowadays people are most willing to listen to economic value, and politicians are most willing to talk about economic value. Fewer and fewer archaeologists insist on the true value of archaeology. People who really work in the front line of archaeology, who insist that "archaeology itself has only one value, that is, the value of historical materials", have a clear understanding of the people represented by this "famous economist" who are eager to ask their ancestors for economic benefits. According to Southern Weekend, Wang Xun and Zhao Huacheng, professors of Peking University Archaeology Department, believe that this place is not only driven by the interests of a cultural relic province, but also influenced by curiosity, sense of accomplishment, the atmosphere of the times and academic trends, and some archaeologists are eager to see the "selfishness" of cultural relics. Zhao Huacheng, a professor of archaeology in Peking University and an expert on the study of the Qin Mausoleum, has just completed the exploration of the Qin Mausoleum. He believes: "It has not been damaged for thousands of years, and it will be damaged after decades." In fact, this exploration found that the underground palace of Qin mausoleum was well preserved and had strong seismic performance. There is no water in the underground palace. "Su Bai, a professor at the Department of Archaeology in Peking University, pointed out: Why do some provinces in the imperial tombs always advocate digging? It is nothing more than driven by economic interests. Silk products unearthed in Dingling are a lesson. If you dare not move now, you will be crushed. Wanli is only three or four hundred years old, and Ganling has a history of more than one thousand years. How can you be sure that it is foolproof? The cultural relics unearthed in the underground palace of Famen Temple, especially silk, have not been displayed in the refrigerator so far. Isn't that enough to show that the guarantee conditions are not enough? Xu, president of the Archaeological Society of China, said: "The mausoleum can't be moved casually. You can't dig dry tombs, let alone the Qin tombs. "The development of social economy and the improvement of people's education level are out of proportion in China at present. Many people get rich in a short time, but not necessarily their knowledge level and character cultivation can be improved in a short time. Therefore, it is understandable that there is a general idea of quick success and instant benefit in society. However, as an old professor with white hair and "qualifications", it is a bit careless to say some layman's words when it comes to academic fields that he is not proficient in. If these words expose your utilitarian heart and kitsch, aren't you afraid of being devalued by the "professor"? Thousands of years of Chinese civilization heritage is the pride of all China people, and it is also a cultural heritage shared by all. It is our unshirkable duty to protect this heritage and pass it on from generation to generation in China. If you dig the ancient tombs rashly without certainty, in exchange for temporary money and prosperity, and please foreigners, the result will not only destroy thousands of years of cultural heritage, but also be unanimously condemned at home and abroad as ignorance and destruction of world-famous monuments. This is a conversation. Well done. By the way, this "famous economist": Qin Shihuang, an emperor through the ages, is the common ancestor of China people. Do you think he used 700 thousand people to build his own tomb? Is it "crazy and nervous"? If we don't solve these technical problems, ignore the national policy and respect the opinions of most experts in archaeology, don't we insist on "starting the emperor's tomb before China hosts the Olympic Games"? Why are you eager to dig your ancestral grave regardless of your historical responsibility? Aren't you afraid that your underground ancestors will call you "unfilial descendants"?
