Signs of immovability left over from ancient human activity. Ruins are generally classified and named according to their function or use, such as storage cellars, burial tombs for the dead, abandoned foundation sites for houses, defensive walls or trenches, wells for drawing water, etc.
Foreword: With the continued excavation of the Sanxingdui site, many ancient civilizations and histories have reappeared in front of everyone's eyes. In fact, as a brilliant Oriental civilization, there are indeed many things in the long river of continental history that are very memorable and meaningful, but it has to be said that in addition to the relatively long history of the mainland, in fact, Western civilization also has many glorious periods, such as the ancient Roman Empire, which also has a very brilliant period in the long river of history.
The British accidentally discovered the ancient village
In 2017, some archaeologists in the United Kingdom speculated according to some data and historical materials that there are some historical sites in a village, so archaeologists came to the village together to investigate, and after a period of examination, they also found that there are indeed historical sites in this village, and everyone has been greatly encouraged, so in the process of continuous excavation, there are also many cultural relics, and it has to be said that the most precious should be a mural.
Based on the calculations made on the frescoes, British archaeologists believe that this fresco can be reckoned to 1600 years ago, which can be said to be a very large discovery in the history of British archaeology. However, because this mural has a very magical thing happening, that is, many people find that there are several Chinese characters in the mural, on the whole, the writing of Chinese characters is crooked, and it is not written by people who are particularly skilled in writing Chinese characters, these words are "Jim here".
Kanji caused discussion
In fact, after the discovery of the mural, it did give the British archaeological community a very high degree of attention, especially this mural came from 1600 years ago, and after some scientific means to confirm that it is indeed a historical site. However, it was also because the Chinese characters on the mural caused a lot of public opinion to discuss this matter, both in the British archaeological community at that time and in the Chinese archaeological community.
In particular, some experts who have studied Chinese characters have also made some inferences about this matter, first of all, as Chinese characters, there were no simplified characters 1600 years ago, but the font on this mural is simplified characters, which also makes many people feel strange, after all, there are many calligraphy and fonts in the ancient history of the mainland, but there are indeed no simplified characters before 1600 years ago, and many cultural relics unearthed in the mainland Chinese character records do not have simplified characters flowing out, so this matter is still a mystery.
Some speculations about Chinese characters
In general, the British were very happy after discovering this mural, but they also had many problems during the excavation. First of all, in the excavation process was blocked by the residents of the village, the residents believe that the mural originated from their land, so it should be exhibited in the village, and archaeologists believe that such a precious mural must be sent to the museum, the two sides began to argue, and finally the dispute was that the mural was left in the village, but the archaeological community protected it, which also made many people not understand, after all, the exhibition in the village will largely make the mural have an accident.
In addition to this matter, what has been paid attention to is the Chinese characters on the murals, and later some people think that these Chinese characters were written by hand, which is purely funny, because if it was circulated from China to The United Kingdom 1600 years ago, then the font cannot be simplified, so it is very likely that someone wrote it privately later.
To sum up: British archaeologists did not give a clear answer to this matter, nor did they give a real statement, many people think that archaeological excavation is a boring and sacred thing, but because of the Chinese characters on the mural, many people also feel that this sacred thing is more interesting.
