Inherit the classics and moisturize the contemporary. Sponsored by the Office of the Leading Group for the Implementation of the Sichuan Historical Celebrity Cultural Inheritance and Innovation Project and hosted by the Cover News of Sichuan Daily Newspaper Group, the celebrity lecture hall activity is about to usher in a new upgrade. The much-anticipated 2022 Hall of Fame event will be held again in May.
The First "Theme Season" is set up in the Great Hall of Fame
This year, the Hall of Fame set up a "theme season" for the first time, and the theme of the first season was "Bashu Archaeology". In this season, the Hall of Fame will invite experts and scholars to vividly interpret the unique charm and contemporary value of the historical and cultural heritage of Bashu. It is worth mentioning that in addition to inviting famous artists to give immersive keynote speeches, the Celebrity Lecture Hall will also launch the "Theme Season Book List" planning: before the opening of each theme season activity, through the cover news, combined with the theme, the "Theme Book List" collection activity will be carried out for ordinary readers, keynote speakers, experts and scholars. According to the collection of books, the list of representative books is selected, and then the "theme book list" press conference is held before the first guest lecture of the theme season to recommend relevant books to the society.
In recent years, archaeology has received more and more attention, and the public's awareness of archaeology and cultural relics has been continuously improved. More and more archaeologists are gradually moving from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, in addition to archaeological reports in the scientific sense, to popularize archaeological knowledge to the public. At present, there have been many good archaeological books, both professional and generally readable, attracting many readers who are interested in archaeology. For example, "The Great Civilization Site - Following the First-line Archaeological Captain through History", "Seeing 5000 Years - Memoirs of the Liangzhu Kingdom" about archaeological sites, "This Life is Only for the Shou Dunhuang - Changshu Hong Biography", "Li Ji Biography" and so on the biography of archaeologists.
With the development of the national cultural and cultural undertakings, archaeology is not as unpopular as before, and even has a tendency to become hotter and hotter. In the past, there were many boys majoring in archaeology, but now many girls like it too. The increasing number of female archaeologists is a welcome change. Fan Jinshi, who has guarded Dunhuang for many years, has become an excellent archaeologist respected by many young people, and "Where My Heart Belongs is Dunhuang: Fan Jinshi's Oral Autobiography" has become a work that has been highly praised on the Internet.
Whatever you love, there will come. Many archaeologists often mention the influence of a book on them when they think back to the origins of their love of history and fascination with archaeology. For example, Sun Hua, a professor of archaeology at Peking University, mentioned in an interview with a cover news reporter that he read a book when he was a teenager - the geography popular science book "Studying Our Homeland" written by the Russian scholar Oberochev.
In this book, Oberochev admonishes students interested in the study of humanities and geography to start by exploring their hometown, starting from little by little, and then gradually moving to the outside world to understand the larger world. In the 1950s, the book was introduced and published by the China Youth Publishing House, which influenced many readers, including Sun Hua. "I have always been influenced by this book, and I have long been aware of my hometown, and I have paid special attention to the history of my hometown, such as the history of Sichuan and the history of Southwest China. I have always believed that a person must first love his hometown, in order to extend the love for his hometown to the love of the country. ”
Wisdom ignites wisdom. Xu Hong, a researcher at the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences who served as the leader of the Erlitou archaeological team for 20 years, mentioned his influence on Huang Renyu when talking about his archaeological work "Why China": "The subtitle of this book is 'The Picture of the Central Plains in 2000 BC', and 2000 BC is a time point, which is actually the product of Mr. Huang Renyu's "Fifteen Years of The Wanli Calendar"... I think this has something to do with my reading of Mr. Huang Renyu's works and being deeply influenced by his small-minded way of thinking. His "The Great History of China" gave me a sense of coherence, and his emphasis on disaster relief, water control, and defense of the north constituted the main theme of ancient Chinese history, which was a great inspiration for me to study early China. When I was thinking about why and how early China evolved from centerless pluralism to erlitou centered pluralism, and then to the unity of the Qin and Han Empires, I benefited greatly from Mr. Huang Renyu's big historical vision. ”
Gone in time, storing the secrets of history
Wisdom is also passed down from generation to generation. After the publication of Xu Hong's "Why China", he was read by Wang Yonglei, a librarian of the Zhejiang Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology and the person in charge of the archaeological excavation site at the Shi'ao site, who claimed to be "a post-80s archaeologist who has been running at the archaeological site all year round.". "There is no curiosity in the book, he told everyone the story of the 2000 BC chasing deer in the Central Plains from the perspective of archaeology, so that everyone can clearly see how to reshape our ancient Chinese history from the perspective of archaeology." Wang Yonglei sighed when recommending the archaeological book list to the cover reporter.
Gone in time, storing the secrets of history. Time cannot be turned back, but archaeology allows people to "go back" to the past through certain means, get a glimpse of the ancient face, and satisfy the innate curiosity of human beings. This is perhaps the biggest reason why archaeology has pure charm. Liu Bin, the archaeology host of Liangzhu Ancient City, said: "Archaeology can make us move towards a history that is constantly recognized and clarified. ”
