Zhang Xuefeng, a famous teacher in the examination and research institute, has said a word, it is not recommended that everyone take the interdisciplinary examination for history graduate students, of course, most of the school's history departments do not support interdisciplinary examinations, why?
Because he doesn't want to insult you and make you feel bad, history is a very rigorous science, he is not what we usually think, historical figures and events, after you read a few or even dozens of books, you can take the history graduate school.
This passage very accurately says that the professionalism of history and the dislocation of history in the public mind, in China, basically everyone has their own views and opinions about history.
The Three Kingdoms, the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty these are the dynasties with more stories, anyone can chat a few words, there was a period of time when the history of the Song dynasty was particularly popular, and some people wanted to find song history experts to write articles or something.
But then someone said, what happened to you as an expert, I don't know as much as I do, how to say such a little thing, the misunderstanding here is deep.
History can be discussed by everyone, but if you are an expert and look at it from a professional point of view, you must have a piece of evidence to say a point, and things without evidence must not be said indiscriminately.
In the TV series, it can be said that Empress Qin Xuan's name is Mi Yue, and as a historian, you certainly can't tell what his name is, even including such a famous figure as Wu Zetian, and you don't know what her original name was when you look through the historical materials.
Writing a novel and writing a script, of course, you can arrange a name for this great woman, but as a serious scholar, you can't casually say what Wu Zetian's original name is.
For archaeology, many people have such an attitude and misunderstanding, many people say that the recently discovered tomb of Emperor Wen of Han, some people have long said that it is the tomb of Emperor Wen of Han, and the tomb robbers know better than archaeologists.
This is okay to say, but if you really want to be true, this tomb has actually begun to excavate a long time ago, why is it only announced that this is the tomb of Emperor Wen of Han, for the sake of prudence and rigor, to ensure credibility.
As an archaeologist, you must have a saying, you can't look at it, just say what dynasty this is the tomb of the dynasty, this is OK for the tomb robber, he doesn't care if he is right, he cares about whether he can sell it for money, and even unconsciously say the dynasty forward.
Of course, there are many times when there are blindsides, china for archaeological excavations, one is more cautious, mainly when excavating the tomb of the Wanli Emperor, leaving a profound lesson, so we usually do not take the initiative to excavate large mausoleums, the mausoleum of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is mainly damaged, so it is necessary to carry out protective excavations.
And it is not as long as the excavation, you can immediately determine whether this is the tomb of Emperor Wen of Han, as a very important emperor in Chinese history, the tomb of Emperor Wen of Han must be solid and reliable in evidence if it is to be officially declared, or it is not possible to be a little bit.
History and archaeology are interconnected, Mr. Wang Guowei has proposed, the dual evidence method of literature and archaeology, with documents and cultural relics to corroborate each other, which is why history must be very rigorous.
If some things are not very certain, it is better not to say that the recent Erlitou site of Yanshi was named Xiadu and was criticized by many people, which is caused by insufficient evidence.
Every Chinese hopes that the capital of the Xia Dynasty can be determined, but you can't rely on guessing, even if the place is indeed confirmed to be the Capital of Xia later, but the current evidence is insufficient, you do this, there is no difference between you and tomb robbers and folk history lovers.
Archaeology is archaeology, he is rigorous learning, by guessing may be able to guess correctly, but that is not what archaeology and archaeology experts should do, rigorous and evidence, is the core of archaeology, must adhere to.
