"Are you talking about the Japanese named Nakagawa? He was released so quickly?"
Zhuang Rui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but at this time, his mind was immersed in the underground palace of the First Emperor, and he didn't pay much attention to it. The bureaucrats in the country have always been soft on the outside and hard on the inside. Zhuang Rui had already guessed this outcome.
Already.
"That kid is so sneaky that he doesn't know what he wants to do. Brother Zhuang, how about... I catch up and ask?"
When Peng Fei and others saw Zhuang Rui standing up, they all gathered around him. Just now, Zhuang Rui was sitting on a stone with his eyes closed and silent. They didn't dare to disturb him, thinking that Zhuang Rui was thinking about something important.
"Forget it, we are not the police. How can we control it a second time if we control it once?"
Zhuang Rui shook his head. He was also a little strange. If according to what Deputy Director Xiong said, Nakagawa should have been fined. I wonder why this Japanese still has the leisure to travel around?
However, Zhuang Rui was too lazy to waste time on a Japanese. After looking at the ground under his feet with nostalgia, he thought to himself: If he built a vacuum chamber at the excavation site according to his previous ideas, how big would it really be?
expenses?
If you want to excavate this underground palace intact, I am afraid that only Zhuang Rui can do it in the whole world, because only he can accurately grasp the specific location of the underground palace and selectively decide when is the best time to open up the underground palace.
Good time.
This is a very tedious job, because when working in a vacuum environment, you need to wear a space suit, which will make the excavation work more difficult, and when you enter the underground palace to embalm the cultural relics, you must do so in this environment.
This requires a lot of theoretical argumentation and repeated research in the early stage.
Zhuang Rui has already made up his mind. After returning to Beijing, he will fund it himself and list it as a research topic. As long as the research results are produced, he will report it to the country. He really wants to see Qin Shihuang in his lifetime.
The truth in the mausoleum palace.
"Let's go, try to stay in Lanzhou tonight..."
Zhuang Rui has buried his ambition to excavate the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin deeply in his heart. Perhaps the next time he comes to Xi'an, it may be when the underground palace of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin, which has been dormant for more than 2,200 years, comes out. Zhuang Rui is confident that this important part of Chinese culture will be revealed.
The treasures are displayed to the world.
The next stop for Zhuang Rui and others was Gansu. It was already afternoon when they set off from Xi'an. After arriving in Lanzhou via Baoji Tianshui, it was already dark. They found a hotel to stay for one night and stayed in Lanzhou the next day.
We visited Lanzhou Baita Mountain, Iron Bridge over the Yellow River, Wuquan Mountain, God's Temple, and Baiyun Temple.
Of course, we also don’t forget to taste the famous Lanzhou Ramen, as well as the soft, smooth, sour and delicious Lanzhou stuffed skin. Zhuang Rui and others enjoyed eating them all, and Lanzhou, which was the choke point of the ancient Silk Road, also gave Zhuang Rui
Others were deeply impressed.
After a short two-day stay in Lanzhou, Zhuang Rui and others embarked on the journey again, taking a high-speed road from Lanzhou, passing through Wuwei, Zhangye, and Jiuquan to the Jiayuguan Pass, which is famous for its dangerous terrain and majestic scenery.
Jiayuguan is the western starting point of the Great Wall in the Ming Dynasty. It is the most spectacular and well-preserved ancient military castle built along the Great Wall in the Ming Dynasty. It is an important military fortress along the Great Wall in the Ming Dynasty and all subsequent dynasties.
The entire Guancheng is surrounded by mountains and rivers, guarding a canyon area about 15 kilometers wide from north to south. The Tuolai River Valley in the south of the canyon forms a natural barrier for the pass. Nearby beacons and piers are criss-crossed, and the east, west, south and north of Guancheng are surrounded by mountains and rivers.
There are 66 piers and abutments in the Northeast. The Jiayuguan Pass has a natural terrain and is capable of both offense and defense. Together with the nearby Great Wall, city towers, moats, beacons and other facilities, it forms a strict military defense system. It is also known as "the most powerful pass in the world".
In the Qing Dynasty, Lin Zexu was convicted of banning smoking and was demoted to Xinjiang. He passed by Jiayuguan. Seeing how majestic the pass was, a poem praised it: "The strict pass is bounded by a hundred feet to the west, and thousands of miles of troops are stationed on horses." The poem made it equal to thousands of miles.
Shanhaiguan, the "No. 1 Pass in the World" outside China, echoes it from afar and is famous all over the world.
Zhuang Rui and his party visited the Guerrilla General's Mansion, Guanjing, Guandi Temple, Stage and Wenchang Pavilion in Guancheng. Then they left Yumen in the west and drove through Guazhou for more than two hours before finally arriving at Zhuang.
Rui’s third destination on this trip is Dunhuang.
Dunhuang is located at the westernmost end of the Hexi Corridor in Gansu Province, at the intersection of Gansu, Qinghai, and Xinjiang provinces (regions). It is surrounded by the Gobi Desert. Since Dunhuang has an oasis of 1,400 square kilometers, although it only accounts for 4.5% of the total area of Dunhuang,
It is still called "the oasis in the Gobi".
The car is driving in this famous historical and cultural city. The ancient Great Wall and beacon stations are dotted throughout the territory. Due to the special location of Dunhuang Desert Oasis, it has become an important town on the ancient Silk Road. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established the county, it has not only been a
It opened up territory and operated outposts in the Western Regions. It was also the metropolis where Huarong and Huarong met in ancient times.
The prosperity of the Silk Road in the Han and Tang Dynasties made Dunhuang the first area in Chinese history to open to the West. Envoys, merchants, scholars, monks, artists and other people from various countries traveling from east to west brought ancient Chinese culture, Indian culture, Egyptian culture, etc.
Culture and Greek culture are connected.
Along the long Silk Road, Dunhuang perseveres in spreading civilization and friendship, pursuing understanding and peace. Eastern and Western civilizations blend and converge here, and Eastern and Western cultures spread from here to the west, making Dunhuang form an enlightened place for a long time.
A historical tradition of openness and inclusiveness.
A thousand or two thousand years ago, this place may have been like today's Beijing and Shanghai, an exchange center for Chinese and Western culture and commerce in ancient times. Although Dunhuang has lost its original glory, walking in Dunhuang still seems to tell the story of its rich history.
The glory of that year.
Although Dunhuang is only a county-level city under Jiuquan City, its former glory and profound cultural connotation have made its reputation far beyond Jiuquan City, especially the Mogao Grottoes, Yulin Grottoes, West Thousand Buddha Caves and other scenic spots.
The existence of ancient monuments, including the world-famous "Dunhuang Grottoes" and "Dunhuang Murals", makes it the first choice for tourists from all over the world.
"Brother Zhuang, how many days are we going to stay here? The air here is really dry. I wonder if there will be restrictions on water use for bathing in the hotel?"
Peng Fei parked the car in the parking lot of a hotel that he had already booked. Although he has followed Zhuang Rui for several years, Peng Fei still has no interest in antiques and jade. As for talking about history and culture with Peng Fei, that's even more so.
It's like playing the harp to a cow, there's not a trace of artistic talent in this guy from his hair to the soles of his feet.
In Peng Fei's view, spending free time wandering around in this place where birds don't lay eggs is not as exciting as living with drug dealers in Myanmar.
"You kid, I have no intention of letting you follow me. I'll let Brother Hao follow me next time..."
Zhuang Rui opened the door and got out of the car. Although he kept the windows closed along the way, he still felt that his face was covered with dust. However, Zhuang Rui's thoughts were different from Peng Fei's. It was because Dunhuang had a dry climate, low rainfall and high evaporation.
This is why most of the cultural relics unearthed here are well preserved.
"Don't bother me, Brother Zhuang, I won't stop talking nonsense from now on..."
Peng Fei jumped out of the car in a hurry. He is a man whose nature is hard to change. Like Zhuang Rui, he has an adventurous spirit. When he is on a mission in the army, he longs for a life of a wife and children, but once he settles down,
, you will feel bored, and the restless elements in your body will start to stir up again.
Even though he knew that Zhuang Rui's job would be boring this time, Peng Fei still promised Hao Long a lot of benefits so that he could follow Zhuang Rui. Of course, Zhuang Rui's safety issue was also a factor.
It was only the afternoon at this time. According to Zhuang Rui's wish, he had to go to Mogao Grottoes to see it first. However, seeing that everyone looked a little tired, he could only say: "Okay, everyone should have a rest today. Tomorrow we will
Let’s go to Mogao Grottoes, I’ll be busy in the next few days…”
Archeology in Gansu, especially around Dunhuang, is much more difficult than in Henan and Shaanxi. The Gobi Desert is everywhere here. After leaving Dunhuang, you often don’t see a single person for several days. Not to mention the harsh geographical environment.
This kind of boredom is unbearable for most people.
However, it is precisely because of this special geographical environment that all cultural relics unearthed in Gansu are of first-class quality, such as the national treasure-level cultural relic "Horse Treading on Flying Swallows" and a precious Xixia horse unearthed in 2008.
The discovery of the sculptured cultural relic, the horse head relief, shocked the entire archaeological community.
…
After resting for a day, Zhuang Rui and others drove to the Mogao Grottoes, a scenic spot not far from Dunhuang City. It should be said that Dunhuang was an important town on the ancient Silk Road, and the art treasures collected in the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang are the most important places for Sino-foreign exchanges.
Treasure.
Since the Mogao Grottoes were discovered in the 20th century, they have been called the "Louvre of the East" and are famous for their exquisite murals and statues. The Mogao Grottoes were first built in the Pre-Qin period of the Sixteen Kingdoms.
The construction of the Northern Dynasties, Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties, Xixia, Yuan and other dynasties has formed a huge scale. There are currently 735 caves, 45,000 square meters of murals, and 2,415 clay sculptures.
The Mogao Grottoes are also the world's largest and richest Buddhist art holy site. The Buddhist scripture cave discovered in modern times contains more than 50,000 ancient cultural relics. In 1987, it was listed as a world cultural heritage.
Mogao Grottoes is only half an hour's drive from Dunhuang City. When he arrived at the parking lot outside the Mogao Grottoes attraction, Peng Fei suddenly touched Zhuang Rui, pointed to the outside of the car, and said: "Huh? Brother Zhuang, look at that man
, is it that little Japan?”
"It's the one named Zhongchuan. Why is this kid still haunting him?"
Zhuang Rui looked in the direction of Peng Fei's finger and was stunned for a moment. It was really the Japanese Nakagawa who had a conflict with them in Lintong.
