Chapter 1123 Sensation

Chapter 1123 sensation [recommendation ticket]

"Teacher, according to the analysis of the notes left by the Taoist priest, there should be nearly 20,000 copies of Dunhuang literature in these two Buddha statues. Let them be careful when they break them..."

Zhuang Rui looked at the hammers and chisors in the hands of several soldiers and couldn't help reminding Professor Meng that if he accidentally damaged the cultural relics inside, it would be an immeasurable loss.

"Yes, yes, you should all be careful. These clay Buddha statues are likely to have a blue brick structure inside. Scrape off the surface first..."

Professor Meng nodded repeatedly and commanded the current staff, but then there were doubts on his face. He turned his face to Zhuang Rui and asked, "Daoist priest once left notes? Where is it? It's not in the documents sent out before..."

In the Dunhuang Museum, there are indeed some handwritten notes of Wang Taoist priests, but these notes have long been studied over and over again. Professor Meng clearly remembers that there is no news of these Dunhuang documents that are not known to the world in those notes, so Professor Meng thought that Wang Daoshi left notes in the Buddha statue. It was discovered by Zhuang Rui.

"Huh? Teacher, didn't Brother Ren tell you?"

Zhuang Rui was stunned when he heard the words. He pointed to Nakagawa, who was sitting in the corner of the hall and ignored, and said, "Teacher, that Japanese is a descendant of the Japanese explorer Yoshikawa. When he was sorting out the relics of his ancestors, he found the notes and pictures left by Wang Daoshi, and then he came to Dun Ah..."

"Well, I haven't had time to ask..."

Professor Meng smiled awkwardly when he heard the words. After seeing the Dunhuang literature brought out by Dr. Ren and Peng Fei from the desert, especially when he saw the handwritten scriptures of Caosheng Zhang Zhi, he immediately focused on it.

Later, as soon as the helicopter arrived, he was busy rushing here. Professor Meng didn't communicate much with the students, and naturally he didn't know the role of Zhongchuan in this archaeology.

Zhuang Rui shook his head with a smile and told Professor Meng about Zhongchuan. Of course, he also promised that Zhongchuan could send someone to participate in Dunhuang's research. As for whether the teacher agrees or not, it's none of Zhuang Rui's business.

"Is that the same thing?"

After listening to this, Professor Meng calmed down and said, "Dunhuang culture has been developing for decades. There are specialized scholars studying in Western countries and Japan. Its influence is all over the world, and it is not only China...

Well, in principle, I agree with this matter, but I have to declare it to the superior department and if the Japanese side wants to join the research, it should use the name of official culture and show their sincerity..."

Professor Meng's sincerity naturally requires the Japanese side to take out more than 10,000 copies of Dunhuang documents obtained from China. These materials should have considerable complementarity in the study of domestic Dunhuang culture. In this way, it is impossible to say who suffers and takes advantage of it.

What's more, Professor Meng is open-minded. He didn't pay much attention to the fact that Japanese explorers bought national treasures cheaply from China at the beginning of the last century, and he didn't have much bad feelings for Yoshikawa.

Because if you change the environment and location, Professor Meng himself will definitely occupy such a bargain. Imagine if you have the opportunity not to break the law or commit a crime, and buy a batch of valuable cultural relics at a low price through legitimate means, will you do it?

In addition, at that time, the country was weak and in the world. As the saying goes, antique gold in the prosperous era, these ancient books were not valued by the Qing court and the warlords at that time, and no wonder foreign explorers brought them out of China.

Some friends may not support this view, but it is true that many friends are psychologically unacceptable when they see the loss of Chinese cultural relics. If the Chinese people plunder foreign antiques, I guess we can find a balance in our psychology.

"Thank you, old gentleman. I will study all the Dunhuang literature in the family, and I can also persuade others to do the same..."

After hearing Yan Xiaowei's translation, Zhongchuan was immediately overjoyed and bowed deeply to Professor Meng. At this moment, his mind to monopolize these cultural relics was long gone, and he was satisfied to get a piece of the pie from it.

Professor Meng waved his hand and said, "Well, the relevant departments will be involved with you at that time. Don't thank me. Art knows no borders, and culture should also be interoperable..."

"Why doesn't the British Museum communicate with us and return the things..." Zhuang Rui muttered in his heart.

"Open the green brick, there is something in it..."

The archaeological staff on the foundation of the Buddha statue suddenly heard a voice of surprise. Professor Meng didn't care about Zhuang Rui and immediately rushed over. The man who stretched out his hand did not look like an old man who was nearly 70 years old.

"Slow down, don't water, it doesn't matter if there is dust..."

"Good, two people in, you have two boards in the foundation..."

"Be careful, how do you do it? Put on the gloves, lift the two people up and put them on the cart..."

When the mouth was opened big enough, Professor Meng commanded repeatedly and saw the neat Dunhuang documents wrapped in oil paper. The old professor's face was full of excitement.

The equipment brought from the helicopter was much better than the facilities carried by Zhuang Rui and others. Soon the two alloy plates were put on the foundation, and the two carts carried the scrolls in the abdomen of the Buddha statue back and forth.

Although there were more manpower than before, more than 20,000 copies of Dunhuang literature still made everyone busy all day until it was completely dark that it was not cleaned up.

After carrying the scroll into the helicopter, Professor Meng carefully cleaned the Buddha statue with someone, leaving not even a piece of paper.

Because it was too late, and the ancient temple also needed for further research, everyone rested in the ancient temple that day.

Of course, next to the three helicopters, there are soldiers with guns and live ammunition. These precious Dunhuang documents are not too much to use the value of the city. Losing a book will be a great loss.

The next day, Zhuang Rui and Dr. Ren accompanied Professor Meng and his entourage to inspect the thousand-year-old temple. However, just like Zhuang Rui and others' previous survey, all the valuable things in the ancient temple have been removed. Only these ancient buildings have a little value for research.

After making sure that there was no Dunhuang literature in the ancient temple, everyone took a helicopter and flew in the direction of the town. When they arrived in the town, the helicopter just put Erdan and others down. They did not stop, and even Dunhuang did not return, but went directly to the huge Jiuquan satellite base. I went to the barracks.

"Teacher, this is a little exaggerated, isn't it? How can you get into the army?

Originally, the helicopter landed in the barracks. Zhuang Rui thought that the other party would then send a car to send his party to the hotel. Who knew that he was directly placed in the army's guest house, which made Zhuang Rui a little puzzled.

"There will be a special plane to send us back to Beijing tomorrow. Let's stay here for one night today..."

Professor Meng saw Zhuang Rui's puzzled face. Although he was willing to check the batch of Dunhuang documents first, he was still patient and said, "I don't know how your archaeological operation was spread this time. Now in the streets and alleys of Dunhuang, except for tourists, I'm afraid they are cultural relics smugglers, so A little bit..."

Since entering 2000, the popularity of the world investment market has also led to the popularity of Chinese antiques and some behind-the-scenes speculation. The price of these things that could have been bought for three or five yuan in the 1970s and 1980s has increased by thousands of times.

However, after all, the antiques circulating among the people are limited. In this way, many people keep their eyes on those tombs. For a while, the land of China is empty, and the bold tomb robbers even dare to grab their teeth and wander in front of some national archaeological teams.

For example, the news of the unearthed Dunhuang documents attracted a large number of domestic cultural relics dealers and tomb robbers. After being prompted by the relevant departments, Professor Meng chose the military camp as a temporary shelter for the safety of these cultural relics.

......

After a short stay for a day, the second day after Professor Meng returned to Beijing, the news of a major breakthrough in Dunhuang archaeology spread to the world through TV, radio, newspapers, the Internet and other media, which shocked the world's scientific research community.

In the era of extremely underdeveloped communication a hundred years ago, the emergence of Dunhuang documents caused a sensation in the whole world. The batch of Dunhuang documents unearthed today is not inferior to that of the previous year in terms of quantity and quality, and the resulting sensation is naturally greater.

For a while, Dunhuang cultural research institutions in various countries have applied to the relevant departments in China to participate in the scientific examination in the form of cultural flow, and put forward many cooperation plans.

In this case, the World Dunhuang Cultural Seminar is also scheduled to be held in Beijing next month. Institutions and scholars from Western countries and Southeast Asia, including Japan, have applied to the conference for participation.

The names of Zhuang Rui and others were also known by the world scientific research world overnight. A core leader in charge of culture, science and education in China also sent a congratulatory message, commending the archaeological team led by Zhuang Rui and Ren Qiang.

The time of the release of Dunhuang literature happens to be the annual college entrance examination. I don't know how many students resolutely applied for the relatively remote archaeology major because of this incident. In previous years, the archaeology department, which was not satisfied with even one class, actually had a situation of in short supply. It can't be Inevitable connection.

CCTV continuously broadcasted a large-scale science and education film that was tepid a few years ago: walking into Dunhuang has caused an archaeological fever in the land of China. Of course, in a way, it has also strengthened the team of tomb robbers.
