Chapter 548 Seriously Insufficient Manpower
It wasn't until after the meal that Shen Yunfeng knew that Yuan Dongliang and Ge Yannan had been seconded to another ancient tomb excavation site less than [-] kilometers away.

While walking with Teacher Chen, Shen Yunfeng learned that in the past year alone, the archaeological work in Shaanxi Province has achieved fruitful results. A total of nearly 11 archaeological projects of various types have been carried out, and archaeological surveys of more than [-] square kilometers have been completed. The archaeological exploration is about [-] million square meters, and nearly [-] ancient tombs and [-] square meters of ancient ruins have been excavated. Both the archaeological workload and the number of excavated tombs are the highest in Shaanxi Province over the years.

Shen Yunfeng saw Teacher Chen, who was already a little rickety, and knew that these heavy figures were obtained by archaeological experts like Teacher Chen, day after day, year after year, through sleepless work.

Before going back to the room, Teacher Chen looked at Shen Yunfeng and said: "Since the construction of Metro Line 890 in the provincial capital last year, we have nearly discovered 530 ancient relics of various types, including [-] ancient tombs that have been identified. There are seven ancient kilns.”

Shen Yunfeng recalled a little, and said: "Mr. Chen, I remember that area, from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, was a very large tomb area, and there were many high-level tombs, and there were even several imperial tombs Mausoleum.”

Teacher Chen nodded with a smile and said: "Xiao Shen, I heard Wang Liang talk about your situation in the past few years. What I didn't expect was that your business is so big now that you still haven't forgotten when you were in school. I was surprised and gratified by what I learned.”

When Shen Yunfeng heard Mr. Chen mentioned Wang Liang, he knew that this guy must have added a lot of things about himself. Knowing that he was explaining now, Mr. Chen could only think that he was being modest.

Teacher Chen smiled and patted Shen Yunfeng on the shoulder, then changed the topic to the ancient tomb mentioned before.

"Those high-level tombs that have been discovered have been chosen there since the Qin and Han Dynasties, and then experienced the Sixteen Kingdoms, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and until the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The large tombs are particularly concentrated in that area, and more than [-] have been excavated successively. .”

"During this period, there were three excavation peak periods. The first one was when the first airport was built in the area. The second peak period was when the first phase of another airport was built. As for the third peak period, During the recent development of the new city, and the expansion of the airport.”

"The subway line [-] just mentioned is actually the continuation of the third peak period."

Shen Yunfeng nodded and agreed: "The tombs in the area itself are relatively dense, and the area involved in this construction is very large, so this situation occurs."

Teacher Chen opened the door, paused, looked at Shen Yunfeng and said: "From ancient times to the present, no matter which dynasty or generation chooses a cemetery, it will not be too far away from the village or town."

"If you have paid attention, you will find that even now, when the government plans funeral parlors and cemeteries, they always choose them in the suburbs."

"It is not difficult to understand from this that Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty is adjacent to the Weihe River in the north, and there are generally more tombs in the southern suburbs at that time. However, some high-level tombs and imperial mausoleums are located on the loess platform north of the Weihe River, such as the Hanyang Mausoleum, Changling Mausoleum, An Mausoleum, Pingling Mausoleum, Maoling Mausoleum, these imperial mausoleums."

"In addition, I once told you in class that the emperor's mausoleum was built in the Han Dynasty. In addition to the mausoleum, there was also a mausoleum. At that time, the mausoleum was equivalent to a small city near the mausoleum. People living in the mausoleum often They are all high-ranking officials, dignitaries, wealthy businessmen and big businessmen."

Shen Yunfeng nodded and said yes, seeing that Mr. Chen was tired, he was about to leave.

What he didn't expect was that Teacher Chen kept Shen Yunfeng back with a smile, leaned against the door and said, "Xiao Shen, the teacher told you so much tonight, the original intention was to tell you that archaeologists in Shaanxi Province are currently facing The dilemma of severe shortage."

Shen Yunfeng nodded and said, "Teacher Chen, I also noticed that someone online joked that the archaeological team is busier than the construction team."

Teacher Chen also said with a smile: "Netizens also said that the construction of the subway in Chang'an is mainly based on archaeology, and a subway was built by the way."

"Well, actually, not only in our province, but also across the country, the serious shortage of professional archaeologists is a national problem."

"As you can see today, there are quite a lot of people engaged in archaeological excavation, but there are very few truly qualified people. In addition to the fact that there are so many tombs discovered so far, the contradiction of manpower shortage begins to appear. gone."

"That little Xie has a formal establishment in the Cultural Protection Bureau. The Cultural Protection Bureau belongs to public institutions, and public institutions have establishments. This kind of regulation is a product of a long time ago. At that time, no one would have thought that the Cultural Protection Bureau would There's so much work to do."

"In that era, active excavation was the most common. The government would do whatever it wanted to study and excavate. Only a few construction sites were opened throughout the year, seven or eight would be considered a lot."

"But now, there are more than 100 construction sites a year. It doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want, but there are so many things waiting for you to send people to dig. No exception."

At this point, Teacher Chen gave a wry smile before continuing: "Xiao Shen, someone has made a special statistics, saying that the total number of people who have obtained the 'archaeological team leader qualification' issued by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, counting people like me who have reached the legal retirement age a long time ago There are no more than 2000 people who are old and immortal, and those who are willing to carry out excavation work in the field for many years are even rarer, only less than 400 people."

"The teacher told you so much, not to ask you to sponsor some funds, nor to win the sympathy of a big boss like you, but to tell you that archaeological excavations need the attention and care of the whole society."

"I found it. If you don't dig it, it will be destroyed; but dig it, there are not enough people. In the past, there have been cases such as drilling a hundred tombs, and picking some important ones to dig. Others Never mind."

"Xiao Shen, the teacher is actually very heartbroken. In your class, there are 53 people who have obtained graduation certificates. If they continue to receive formal training, they can definitely obtain the certificate of 'archaeological team leader qualification'. But, alas, according to me I understand, apart from the jobs you, Yuan Dongliang, and Qin Mingliang are currently engaged in, which are related to the majors you have studied, and Wang Chen, who works in a county-level museum, other people have already given back to us old people what they have learned in four years of university. Immortal."

When it came to the end, Teacher Chen's expression had become a little sad, and even the tone of his speech seemed so helpless.

Shen Yunfeng returned to the room, looked at the suitcase left by Yuan Dongliang before he left, and thought of Teacher Chen's words from the bottom of his heart, with mixed feelings in his heart.
