Chapter 622

-- 【Don't you know that Qin Shi Huang attacked the Xiongnu in the north?】

-- 【The Qin Dynasty lasted less than 15 years. Where did the other Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, and Wei go? And the land of Chu was the largest, why isn't it called 'Chu-na' in English?】

-- 【You don't understand history or geography, you only know how to argue. The Qin Dynasty lasted less than 15 years, but the State of Qin lasted nearly 600 years. People in Central Asia in the west and nomadic people in the north could only come into contact with Qin and Jin. The pronunciations of Qin and Jin are similar, and they couldn't come into contact with Qi and Chu in the east at all.】

-- 【My high school English teacher specifically asked me if I knew why we are called 'China' when explaining some English country names. He said it was because your surname is Qin. I was really shocked and proud at the time.】

-- 【In the Old Testament of the Bible, there is the word 'Qin', which refers to the great country in the east.】

-- 【Since the Xiongnu were not driven away by the old Qin people, but were driven to the west by the Han people, it should be called 'Hana'.】

-- 【Because the Xiongnu cursed the Qin country in the east every day in Europe, Europeans remembered that the great country in the east was called 'Qin'.】

Xiang Fangyang stayed in this museum for about two hours before leaving the museum to go to the arranged work site to make preparations in advance.

When Xiang Fangyang arrived at the place, he didn't have any special feelings.

Because he was already used to such scenes.

All the people here were from the Cultural Relics Bureau.

It didn't matter who invited him over anymore.

Anyway, every time he arrived at a place, he would mostly come into contact with the local Cultural Relics Bureau, or even some archaeological teams.

These people were digging for cultural relics while seriously placing a mobile phone or other container that could watch the live stream.

When Xiang Fangyang arrived at their place, he received a very warm welcome.

This is what they said to Xiang Fangyang.

"Xiang Fangyang, you are really amazing. We all know that you popularized some historical knowledge in the local museum, knowledge about 'China'. That is really a great thing!"

"Yes, because there are still many people in our country who don't understand this, or even have great misunderstandings, but now such worries are completely gone."

"..."

Several people who looked more excited directly shook Xiang Fangyang's hand and shook it very hard. Xiang Fangyang felt that he had only done what he could, and there was no need to be praised like this. This praise made him feel a bit embarrassed.

"This is all what I should do. I don't think there is anything to brag about."

Xiang Fangyang said this while smiling at the others.

Then he lowered his head and started working.

The tools here were very complete. As long as he simply told them, these tools were basically delivered to his hands.

Xiang Fangyang was very careful when taking these tools.

He saw that this group of people from the Cultural Relics Bureau were all cautious, and their work efficiency was also very low.

He had long been used to this, after all, he had been to many, many cities, and in every city, the people in the Cultural Relics Bureau were basically like this.

They were afraid that they would accidentally destroy all the cultural relics underground, and they didn't want such a thing to happen.

Xiang Fangyang had long known about this, but he didn't say anything.

After all, he couldn't laugh at others for their very low efficiency just because his work efficiency was high.

That would be a very excessive thing to do.

He didn't want to do such an excessive thing either.

He observed the surroundings and walked directly to a place where others were not digging at all.

Seeing Xiang Fangyang's actions, others couldn't help but feel very strange, and at the same time, they couldn't help but say at this time: "Xiang Fangyang, it is useless for you to dig on that side. We used tools to detect it and found that there are only some stones and the like underneath."

The people in their Cultural Relics Bureau also had detection tools.

Hearing what others said, Xiang Fangyang nodded slightly: "It doesn't matter, I feel there are things to dig here, so I will dig here."

Xiang Fangyang didn't know how accurate their tools were, but he always felt that such a method was not very good.

After all, many of the cultural relics buried underground are six or seven thousand years old, and most of these cultural relics are stone tools.

If they really relied entirely on tools, they would perfectly avoid the cultural relics with a longer history.

Xiang Fangyang shook his head helplessly, he very much disagreed.

If he considered other things, it would be even more complicated.

Others were very surprised to hear Xiang Fangyang say this.

They were already completely sure that there was nothing in here.

But could it really be like this? It was too outrageous.

These people looked at each other, actually not daring to believe it.

But the situation was already in front of them, and they couldn't help but believe it.

Even in their hearts, they couldn't help but think that if Xiang Fangyang really excavated cultural relics in a place where they had already determined that there would be no cultural relics, then their reliance on tools would have to be changed immediately.

They looked at every action Xiang Fangyang made with anxiety.

The more they watched Xiang Fangyang dig down, the more nervous they became.

"Why is everyone staying here? Have you forgotten that you still have work to do?"

Clearly, the person in charge here was also very nervous, but seeing everyone gathered here, he couldn't help but say this.

"We just want to see what Xiang Fangyang will excavate next. We want to see if the tools are better or if Xiang Fangyang is better."

Someone spat out this sentence unwillingly, and at the same time, it also expressed the true thoughts in everyone's hearts.

It immediately attracted the attention of others.

"That's right, that's what we want to know. Senior, I think you are also very curious about this."

He was indeed very curious about this matter.

But...

He was the main person in charge here after all, so some things still had to be explained properly.

Thinking this, the senior took a deep breath.

"Even if you gather here, it won't have any effect."

"Alright, everyone go back to your posts and continue your work."

After the senior said this, he suppressed his curiosity and returned to his post.

And ten minutes later, Xiang Fangyang dug up something.

After digging up some broken stones, sand, and some trash, the cultural relic locked by Xiang Fangyang finally revealed its true appearance.

When they saw the appearance of the cultural relic inside, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The speed at which they ran over to watch was really very fast.

This showed that even though they returned to their original positions, they were still thinking about this cultural relic in their hearts.

That's why they ran over so fast.

【Western Zhou Li Gui】

【...】

What was excavated was actually a bronze ware.

"It's really strange. By logic, our tools should be able to detect bronze ware."

When seeing that the cultural relic was a bronze ware, a student couldn't help but mutter.

"Maybe it's because of the obstruction of the debris, so we didn't detect it."

Some people felt it was very strange that they didn't detect the bronze ware, but others came to a possible conclusion in an instant.

Everyone was studying cultural relics, and after observing it, they knew that this should be a cultural relic from the Western Zhou Dynasty.

After all, this cultural relic had very distinct characteristics of the era.

"What exactly is this cultural relic?"

They looked at it seriously, but didn't see the specific function of this cultural relic.

They could only see that it was probably a cultural relic used to store something.

"This should be Li Gui."

Xiang Fangyang said.

"Li Gui? I have seen it in literature records. Li Gui is a rice bowl for serving food."

"Speaking of which, in our country's capital, there is a street called Gui Street, and this Gui Street is a place to eat."

Xiang Fangyang agreed with what these cultural relic students said, so he nodded: "Everything you said is correct, 'Gui' means this."

After briefly finishing this matter, Xiang Fangyang turned his attention to the bronze ware.

"We all know that the more inscriptions there are in bronze ware, the more precious the value, and this Li Gui seems to contain inscriptions."

After fiddling with it for a while, they quickly saw clearly what the characters in the inscriptions were. ===== CHAPTER 623 =====
