Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 863 Meeting
In the next few days, Liang En and the others took Shudu as the core to travel around the city, such as the Giant Panda Breeding Center, and the Provincial Museum and Qingyang Palace.

What's interesting is that while traveling in the Provincial Museum, I happened to meet the host of this meeting, so at his invitation, Liang En shot a short video about cultural relics protection in the museum.

As the world's top history and archaeologist, and a Chinese, Liang En has always been well-known in China, especially for the things he donated, which gave him a high reputation in China.

So he naturally has a lot of fans in Huaxia, and this time the curator of the museum asked him to make a video because of Liang En's reputation, hoping to promote the content of cultural relics protection.

The protection of cultural relics is a very important matter for all countries, but no matter which country they are in, cultural relics theft activities emerge in endlessly.

Whether it is the United States, Europe or the Middle East, as long as there are cultural relics, all kinds of large-scale theft and smuggling of cultural relics are very common.

For example, in the United States, there have been excavations of famous ancient cultural relics in various regions, and the number of local cultural relics in the cultural relics market in the United States is also the largest.

As for the Middle East, that's another matter. The chaos in the Middle East has led many organizations to make money by excavating rich cultural relics, and unlike the secret excavation in the United States, the Middle East is an open fire excavation.

And Huaxia can be regarded as the hardest-hit area for the theft and excavation of various cultural relics. For example, a large part of the charity work done by Golden Dawn is to help Huaxia officials recover those cultural relics that have illegally flowed out of China.

Liang En is also popular in China because of similar behavior: he returned a large number of Chinese cultural relics that were illegally exported before, including even the murals similar to the Thousand Buddha Cave or two of the top collections of Zhaoling Six Horses.

It is also for this reason that the curator of the museum only extended an invitation to Liang En after he found out that he had come to visit, hoping that he could appeal to everyone and let everyone pay attention to the protection of cultural relics.

This kind of speech is very simple. After all, for Liang En, he has given similar speeches many times, so he can be regarded as familiar with it.

At the same time, because of his experience in this field, Liang En's shooting work can not only be done in one go, but also be able to guarantee a very high quality while doing it in one go.

Just after Liang En and the others took a brief look at the famous scenic spots around Shudu, the meeting also started. According to the meeting plan, Liang En delivered a speech as an invited guest on the first day of the meeting.

The content of the speech was about the connection between ancient legends and real history. In his speech, he showed that many ancient legends did not come out of thin air, and often had some kind of real historical background.

The speech won the applause of the audience, not just because of politeness, and Liang En proved his point with his own real case.

Different from foreign countries, Huaxia traditionally has a tradition of finding ancient sites through historical records. For example, the ancient Daliang City was found through Sima Qian's "Historical Records".

In the next few days, they discussed the discovery, survey and protection of cultural relics, especially how to balance protection and business operations.

The reason for discussing this aspect is also very simple, because in many cases, the protection of cultural relics cannot be maintained simply through appropriations from the state and higher authorities, so it is necessary to find various sources of wealth.

But the problem is that sometimes the acquisition of wealth and the protection of cultural relics cannot be achieved at the same time. If there is excessive commercial development, it is likely to cause some things that are not conducive to the development of protection work.

To give the simplest example, there is an ancient building complex called the X Family Courtyard in the northern part of China's Jin Province. It is very valuable, but due to over-development, there have been flaws in the protection of cultural relics.

Worse than this is that in addition to problems in the protection of cultural relics, there have also been a series of rip-offs in this area.Food safety and other issues, so that the certificate of 5A-level scenic spots was revoked.

Since this incident happened not long ago, a large-scale discussion was naturally carried out at the meeting using this incident as an example, and the core of the discussion was where the commercial development of those ancient cultural relics was limited.

No one thinks that commercial development should be stopped. After all, there are too many cultural relics that need to be protected for a cultural relic country like China, and it won't last long if it only depends on funding.

The conclusion of the final discussion is that it is inevitable to carry out commercial development in the protection of cultural relics, and we should not give up because of choking, but the core is to protect those cultural relics, not to make money first and forget the most important thing, but the details need further discussion.

In addition to this kind of collective meeting, they also held a series of small-scale meetings between meetings, and in these meetings Liang En shared with you the process of discovering which ancient ruins.

For these Chinese scholars, they hope to obtain first-hand information about foreign archaeological sites. After all, compared with various archaeological sites in China, they hope to know these international news in a timely manner.

As the discoverer of those famous relics, Liang En can naturally provide you with those first-hand information, especially some information that has never been made public before.

And after these materials corresponded with the materials sent back by the Huaxia archaeological team invited by Liang before, scholars will be able to fully understand the overall situation of those ruins located abroad, and learn some experience and lessons from them.

For example, there are certain differences in the restoration of cultural relics between East and West. The East is more inclined to restore the old as before, while the West is more inclined to restore the original appearance of those cultural relics as much as possible.

This is why many people think that the cultural relics in European and American museums look newer than those in Huaxia Museum. There may be differences in the preservation of cultural relics, but the more core restoration methods of the two parties are different.

In addition, Liang En also discussed with you the work on the protection of Chinese cultural relics and various ancient relics, such as some content on field archaeology.

China’s field archeology has some unique techniques, such as the excavation and protection of ancient wooden ware, especially those lacquer ware whose wooden or cortical parts have decayed, leaving only paint.

For example, the academic things brought by the Chinese scholars that Liang En saw this time included records of the excavation and maintenance of a chariot from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and various video materials.

This is an archaeological site with Chinese characteristics. From the pictures, it can be seen that the wooden structure of this vehicle has all disappeared, leaving only the paint and metal on the original wooden parts.

However, those Chinese archaeologists have successfully cleaned up these wooden structures replaced by mud, as well as the paint patterns and gorgeous metal parts on them, so that people can see that there was indeed a horse-drawn war parked there. car.

This can be regarded as an eye-opener for Liang En, and he lamented that coming to Huaxia to participate in the exchange meeting this time is definitely a worthwhile trip.
