The word "archaeology" is said to have first appeared in the Song Dynasty, when a person named Lu Dalin compiled a book called "Archaeological Map".
Similarly, there is Ouyang Xiu's "Collection of Ancient Records".
Wang Hao's "Bogutu".
These "archaeology" of the Song Dynasty only have ancient artifacts and the words on them, and no other information. This "archaeology" does not seem to be the same thing as the "big strokes" of the tomb of Qin Shi Huang and the tomb of Cao Cao today.
So what the hell is going on?
"Saying Wen Jie Zi" contains: "Test, old also." ”
It turned out,The "archaeological map" of the Song Dynasty,It's not "researching antiquities", it's not "researching ancient books", it's not researching "ancient tombs", it's not "researching the ancients", butIt is an "old ancient picture", that is, a "picture of old objects" and "an antique picture" as it is called today.
Old and ancient are synonymous.
Then, let's look at "archaeology" today.
Xi'an Terracotta Warriors, that is, the Terracotta Warriors of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, also referred to as the Qin Terracotta Warriors or Qin Warriors.
However, looking through the history books, there is no record of the terracotta warriors. Moreover, the costumes and hairstyles of the terracotta warriors and horses are inconsistent with the customs of the Qin period in the history books. (For details, see "Reading Historical Relics - Is the Xi'an Terracotta Warriors and Horses Really Qin Shi Huang?")(I)", "Reading Historical Relics - Why Do the Xi'an Terracotta Warriors and Horses Face East?".(below)).
But they insisted: These terracotta warriors and horses are from the Qin Dynasty, and they are also from Qin Shi Huang!
Similarly, there are also Anyang's "stepmother Wu Dafang Ding" and "women's good tomb".
Similarly, looking through the historical materials, you can't find any record that the king of Shang had a queen named "Wu", nor can you find any record that the king of Shang had a wife called "Nuhao". (For details, see "Is "Good Woman", Is She Really a Woman?)》）
But they insisted that this "stepmother Wuding" was made by the king of Shang to commemorate his mother, and this woman was the wife of the king of Shang and a female general.
Similarly, there is Sanxingdui in Sichuan.
You rummaged through the history books and couldn't find any records about Sanxingdui artifacts, but they insisted: This is from the ancient Shu Kingdom. It seems that the words have changed recently, not to mention the ancient Shu Kingdom, it has become the end of the Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty.
This kind of practice of putting aside historical records and playing at will is no longer "archaeology", but "compiling antiquity".
Unearthed cultural relics, just make up an identity, it is this identity, where is it, and then develop the development project: Today, I will make up an ancient for everyone.
Braid, weave, weave a flower basket, weave a flower basket to cover your face.
This is like the case-handling staff insisting that the suspect is someone in a certain place, but the household registration department of a certain place has searched and inquired again, but there is no such person.
When "archaeology" becomes "antiquity", it is either an "unjust case" or "**."
It's a pity that in this kind of "archaeology**", they know it, but the deceived people are difficult to understand the truth.
It's just a pity that the silver taels of white flowers.
