The paper I just wrote turned out to be true

Chapter 181 The Ross Viewpoint: Xixia Belongs to Central Asia
The country of Ross is greedy for the cultural relics and wealth of China.

Seeing that the United States and Germany are accumulating money very quickly, under the guidance of Ross International Sinologists and the Royal Council, Ross sent a large number of explorers.

In fact, they are robbers.

"They came to Ningxia and spent a lot of money to find a guide who led them to Heishui City."

It's not the black water city where the gui blows the lights.

But a real city.

Professor Tang: "Kozlov, a Russian, opened a tower outside Heishui City. The completeness, comprehensiveness, and rarity of the cultural relics inside are enough to shock the archaeological community."

Lin Chen clearly saw that when Professor Tang said these words again, he was very excited.

However, it was also mixed with grief and indignation.

Thrilled to find lost history.

Sadly, these histories were found by foreigners.

"Kozlov wrote in his notes that there are at least an entire library of books, paper scrolls, manuscripts, and picture scrolls piled up in the tower, which are as high as two or three people, and the hat will fall off when you raise your head; there are also many wood carvings. , Clay sculptures, drawing boards, and models are endless at a glance; they are full of strange characters and mysterious symbols, all of which have never been seen by Kozlov, nor by the world.”

Professor Tang speaks very fluently. Obviously, he has read it many times.

Already memorized.

Professor Tang added another sentence, with a heavy tone.

"In order to find these cultural relics, he destroyed more than 20 high towers and used a violent excavation mode, destroying many cultural relics."

Professor Liu also sighed: "This is the price of a weak country."

The country is weak and can only be bullied by others.

Professor Tang continued: "They didn't know the value of these cultural relics at first, and they didn't know that our country had researched them a long time ago."

"It wasn't until they found a book with Chinese characters in the vast amount of cultural relics - "Pearl in the Palm of Fanhan Heshi", that they opened the door to the mysterious world."

China's research on Xixia literature started very late.

Artifacts and materials are needed for any research.

Most of the material was shipped to Ross.

Needless to say, there are many large boxes for the cultural relics Ross transported away.

A number can tell how many there are.

It has taken more than 20 years since their discovery, moving cultural relics.

Among them, there is also a skeleton - the body of Empress Dowager Luo, the last empress dowager of Xixia.

Unfortunately, this corpse disappeared during World War II.

Most of the other artifacts were transported to museums in St. Petersburg.

Among them, more than 1000 pieces have been archived there.

Not to mention the large number of unknown cultural relics that have not been classified and archived.

Among them, the two huge oriental exhibition halls are all displaying these cultural relics.

Professor Tang Yunliang went to St. Petersburg to study just for these materials.

Fortunately, after the disintegration, Ross's power gradually weakened.

The two sides began to communicate frequently, and they were willing for Chinese people to check cultural relics and materials.

Research on Tangutology began to flourish.

"Undoubtedly, the Ross Tangut academic circle has made great contributions to international Tangut studies due to its long-term monopoly of the Tangut literature unearthed in Blackwater City. However, Ross scholars' views on Western history are mostly based on Ross and Eurocentrism. Their ability to read Han literature is limited, and it cannot be regarded as a true understanding of Xixia history, and there is even some kind of prejudice."

Professor Tang said with a serious expression.

Lin Chen asked, "What's their attitude?"

Professor Tang said: "The views of the Ross academic circle have always regarded Xixia as a Central Asian civilization, trying to isolate Xixia from China. Of course, our country regards Xixia as an integral part of Chinese civilization."

Inconsistency between the cognitive viewpoints of the two parties.

Perhaps it was the reason why in 2015, the deputy director of the Huaxia Cultural Relics Bureau said: "So far, the connotation of Xixia civilization has not been understood, in terms of the origin and ethnic relations of the Dangxiang clan, the historical status and influence of the Xixia regime, as well as cultural exchanges and religious dissemination. Convincing academic achievements and a unified understanding have still been formed so far on some key issues."

Xixia belongs to Huaxia. In Lin Chen's view, there is no dispute at all.

Hearing what Professor Tang said, Lin Chen couldn't help feeling a little resentful.

Even if the relationship between the two parties is harmonious.

However, historical issues are major issues of principle.

Moreover, it is not certain who is begging whom at present.

Lin Chen said: "Professor Tang, can you recommend some relevant materials, I want to read them and get a proper understanding."

Professor Liu reacted immediately, looked at Lin Chen with a strange look, and said, "You don't want to write a paper, do you?"

Tang Yunliang's eyes also brightened.

"Yes, I have a lot of materials. If you want to see them, you can go to my office directly."

"My office is across from the office you're using now."

"Come on, in fact, the research on Xixia studies is quite good, it is less popular, and it is easy to produce results."

Tang Yunliang knew what Lin Chen was capable of.

Especially the ability of cross-directional research.

So, he made up his mind and planned to trick Lin Chen into studying Xixia Studies.

Professor Liu frowned, and said hesitantly: "The domestic opinions on this research are almost the same, and the biggest problem is actually an international one. However, the relevant materials and cultural relics left by Xixia are scarce, so you should be more cautious, maybe the research is more popular. easy to produce results."

Professor Liu welcomes Lin Chen to study Xixia Studies.

I was also afraid that too little information would waste Lin Chen's time.

The final result was unsatisfactory.

Lin Chen showed a smile and said, "I'll look at the relevant information to get a general understanding, not for writing a thesis."

What he actually thought in his heart was: less information is better.

With little information, he dared to make a bold and reasonable guess.

As long as he finds a good direction, he can write (edit) as much as he wants.

Professor Tang is more concerned than Lin Chen.

After the dinner, he took Lin Chen directly to the B1 office.

"These are Xixia's information."

The office is about ten square meters.

There is a big bookshelf full of books.

Books were also piled on the ground, and it was difficult to find a place to stay.

Professor Tang said with some embarrassment: "I just came back, and I haven't cleaned up much yet."

Lin Chen wiped the books at hand with his fingers.

Good guy.

It's all dust.

"I'll ask a classmate to clean it up for you in a while, and I'll give you the key. You can find any information you want here. If you don't have it, you can ask me directly."

Professor Tang was extremely enthusiastic.

Lin Chen had to wonder if it was because there were too few students who were willing to study this field, and things were rare and expensive, which caused Professor Tang to be so excited.

After Lin Chen accepted the key, Professor Tang left.

He picked up a book at random.

"Material Culture of Xixia"

Opening the brief introduction, what came into view was a passage: ". The Dangxiang nation that established the Daxia Kingdom in the 10th century AD has disappeared from the territory of Central Asia more than 7 centuries ago.""

ps: Ask for a monthly pass.
