Chen Muling immediately said: "I know. I've eaten Hunan cuisine. It's delicious, but very spicy! There's also Mango Terrace in Nanhu. Many artists from Baodao have participated in the Haha Camp. I've also seen I'm a Singer."
When Li Shi talked about his hometown, he became interested. He chatted with her about TV programs and asked, "Are you here to travel?"
Chen Muling immediately smiled and said, "I am a graduate student at Tsinghua University."
Li Shi was a little surprised. After all, Tsing University is as famous as Peking University, and they are the two top universities in the country. He didn't expect to know that Wu Xiuyue's sister was a student of Peking University yesterday. Today, he met a graduate student of Tsing University here, who was from Bao'an. Island.
After chatting for a while, the other party said: "I took my friends to visit the Forbidden City yesterday. They left. I stayed in the evening to watch the ballet Dream of Red Mansions at the National Center for the Performing Arts. This morning I also planned to go to the National Museum to see the ancient Chinese costume culture exhibition, so Stayed one more night, by the way, are you also visiting the capital?"
Li Shi nodded: "That's right. I will also visit the National Museum later, but I will focus on the pre-Qin cultural relics in the basic exhibition hall."
Chen Muling was a little surprised and blurted out: "Then we can go together."
Li Shi doesn't reject it at all. This girl seems to have a good personality. The bags under her eyes that were swollen from crying last night are gone. Her facial features look purer and she speaks nicely. He likes to make friends with people with good personalities. .
The National Museum opens at nine in the morning. They both reserved tickets on the WeChat mini program. After breakfast, they added WeChat and made an appointment to meet in the hotel lobby at eight o'clock, and then walked there together.
The reason why I stayed in this hotel was because it was close. It was less than two kilometers away and it would only take half an hour if I walked quickly.
Li Shi went back to his room and took out two notebooks from his bag. One was his personal notebook, used to record his learning experience, and the other notebook he bought specially when he was in Xijing the day before yesterday.
He planned to compile a "Pre-Qin Cultural Context Guide" based on what he saw, heard and thought during his study and travels during this period.
Turning to the first page, Li Shi pondered for a moment and began to write the ideas for the "Pre-Qin Cultural Context Guide":
"According to the plan, this "Guide" will be divided into seven major stages based on historical development: the Paleolithic Age, the Neolithic Age, Xia, Shang, Western Zhou, Spring and Autumn Period, and Warring States. Each stage includes the origin and development of civilization. Corresponding content and evidence, such as mapped myths and legends, historical records, written culture, the germination and representative figures of hundreds of schools of thought, cultural relics that can support it, and the museums where these cultural relics are now stored, etc."
"I am a good painter, and I can also use simple sketches to draw the corresponding cultural relics, historical figures, and mythological images. This way, it will be more interesting with pictures and texts."
"It is necessary to mark the time where cultural relics were unearthed and where they are now, especially the latter, to avoid changes in the storage location in the future."
…
Li Shi has a grand plan.
After being promoted to (Proficient+) last night, his first thought was to continue to strengthen the basic study of general history, because only by laying a solid foundation can there be hope for a breakthrough.
The learning panel has always been a high requirement. If you want to realize this hope, you have to "break the surface with some points".
In his expectation, the "pre-Qin dynasty" was the "point".
And this "Pre-Qin Cultural Context Guide" is the core means of breakthrough.
He has compiled a lot of content during this time, but it is not comprehensive yet.
"In the "Exhibition of Ancient China" in the National Museum, there are many cultural relics unearthed from the ruins I visited. For example, the 'Human Face and Fish Pattern Painted Pottery Basin' unearthed in Banpo, Xijing, is a masterpiece of Yangshao Culture's painted pottery art."
"It's full of good stuff!"
Li Shi rubbed his hands, looking forward to gaining more information and learning experience this time, so that his "Pre-Qin Cultural Context Guide" can be more perfect in the future.
"If I can write it in the future to my satisfaction, then——"
"publishing!"
His eyes couldn't help but shine a little.
As someone majoring in language and literature, and having loved reading books since childhood, I have always had a special attachment to publishing.
Even if he buys luxury cars and mansions and earns tens of millions, he may not be able to post on WeChat Moments, but if he can publish a book, he will probably not be able to control himself and post on WeChat Moments.
Of course, those who pay for themselves do not count.
At 7:55, Li Shi took out the clothes, pen, ink, paper and inkstone from his backpack and put them on the bed. The bag only contained two notebooks and a tablet computer, and he also took a bottle of water from the cabinet in the room.
When we arrived at the hotel lobby, Chen Muling was already waiting.
The two said hello and walked towards the National Expo together.
Of course we have to chat on the way.
Chen Muling was good at talking, mainly because she was talking and Li Shi was listening.
By the time he reached the main square, Li Shi already knew why she spoke with a Beijing accent.
She was born in Baodao, but her ancestral home is Sichuan Province. When she was a child, she often accompanied her parents to watch the Baodao TV program "Continental Adventures", so she developed a strong interest in the mainland.
Before she came to Tsinghua University to study as a graduate student, she had stayed in the capital for four months as an exchange student. From that time on, she especially liked to speak with the accent of the locals.
"We only need two years to study as a graduate student. This semester is my last semester as a graduate student. I haven't decided yet whether I want to stay and develop after graduation, so I will take advantage of the time I have now to go see more places I want to see."
As she spoke, she glanced several times toward the square on the left.
It was as if there was something there that attracted her.
Li Shi smiled and said, "I think you have some ideas. Why don't you have plans for the future?"
Chen Muling withdrew his gaze: "Of course there are plans. There is a high probability that he will stay in the mainland, but not necessarily in the capital. He may go to a city in the south."
Li Shi nodded, suddenly saw her taking out an action camera from her bag, and asked curiously: "This is it?"
Chen Muling showed her white and neat teeth: "I'll make a vlog to record my life."
“Are you a vlogger?”
"Yeah, and I still have a lot of fans!" Chen Muling said with a little pride.
Li Shi moved to a place with his back to the camera to avoid being photographed by her.
Chen Muling was obviously experienced: "Don't worry, I won't put you in the video."
"Then I'll stay away and wait until you finish shooting."
Li Shi distanced himself a little from her, took out his mobile phone, and read the messages while walking.
He also took some photos and videos, archived them as a souvenir, and also sent them to his history enthusiast "Bai Mangmang".
When approaching West Chang'an Street, turn right into the north entrance of the National Museum of China.
The two arrived quite early and waited in line for more than 20 minutes. After entering, Chen Muling put away the camera and came over and said, "Then let's go separate ways. After I finish reading, I'll come over to you?"
Li Shi was a little surprised. He thought they were done with it, but he didn't expect that this girl would come to look for him.
After the girl left, he couldn't help but call up the selfie function on his phone, looked at his face, and thought to himself, it seems that our appearance has not changed much.
The basic exhibition hall Li Shi wants to visit is on the underground floor, called "Ancient China Exhibition". It takes the change of dynasties as the main context and is divided into ancient times, Xia, Shang and Western Zhou dynasties, Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, Qin and Han dynasties, and the Three Kingdoms, Two Jins, and Southern and Northern Dynasties periods. , Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties periods, Liao, Song, Xia, Jin and Yuan periods and Ming and Qing dynasties. Taking ancient precious cultural relics as the main witness, it comprehensively displays the development status of politics, economy, culture, social life, and Sino-foreign exchanges in different historical periods.
This is quite similar to the "Guide Map of Pre-Qin Cultural Context" he is going to write.
However, Li Shi's "Guide Map" focuses on the pre-Qin period, and is mainly based on the origin of civilization and the development of cultural context. It is focused and has more details.
"These cultural relics in the exhibition hall can be used to supplement the evidence... It is indeed a national museum, they are all good things!"
He visited very slowly, standing in front of each cultural relic for a long time.
As people flowed around him, he was immersed in his own world, as if everything except cultural relics and him were in other dimensions.
Time continued to pass, and two hours passed quickly.
"Fang Yi Bronze Puppet of Fuhao, late Shang Dynasty, unearthed in 1976 from the tomb of Fuhao in Yinxu, Anyang City, Nanhe Province... When this bronze was in Ay City, it appeared in the information, and indeed it was in the National Museum."
When Li Shi saw this cultural relic, its function immediately came to mind.
Yi, wine container.
He seemed to see scenes of people harvesting grain, making wine, and then celebrating, offering sacrifices, and drinking together in the late Yin and Shang Dynasties.
"In addition, the shape of this artifact seems to imitate a large palace building at that time."
"Perhaps Fu Hao was in such a palace at that time, using this wine vessel to drink with Shang King Wu Ding."
Li Shi had an imagination in his mind and immediately started drawing on his notebook.
When the imaginary picture appeared on the paper, someone suddenly tapped his arm.
This is a disadvantage in reality, and it is still in China. If it were replaced by the kind of online novel world where fighting and killing, or the bald eagle country where people love shopping for zero yuan, Li Shi's nervous system would definitely be highly tense. With his physique, if someone slaps his arm like this, the next moment, the other person will probably lose his hands and feet and fall ten meters away.
When I turned around, I saw that it was Chen Muling who had left "not long ago".
"Are you done visiting?"
"Well, your painting is very good! But this house seems a bit indescribable..."
Chen Muling looked at the paintings on the paper with brilliant eyes.
Li Shi explained: "This is the late Shang palace I designed based on this wine vessel. This is the roof, these are the beams, this is the body of the house, and this is the foundation."
Chen Muling suddenly said: "So that's it, you are so powerful!"
Her Baodao accent made Li Shi stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that complimenting someone could be so... um, exciting?
Huh~
Li Shi felt a little contemptuous of his lack of knowledge. He shook his head gently, shook his random thoughts out of his mind, and continued to visit.
After passing the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and entering the exhibition area of the Qin Dynasty, Li Shi's speed became much faster.
The booth that spent the most time on the way was the "Jade Clothes with Golden Threads" unearthed from a Han tomb in Dinh County, Bac Ha Province in 1973.
First, he prefers things related to jade.
Secondly, this cultural relic represents the ancients' imagination of immortality and the world after death.
"During the Qin and Han dynasties, represented by the First Emperor, there were countless people seeking immortality, and Qi refiners emerged in endlessly... But in the end, they returned to dust and dust to dust."
Li Shi felt a little emotional, and called up the learning panel to "take a look" at the nebula in the background that was constantly being annihilated and reborn.
The second longest stay was a "land sale deed" from the Ming Dynasty.
In the Ming Dynasty, there was a man named Liu Wenju. Because he was poor, he sold four acres of his family's land to a man named Kang Shouli in his village. The sale deed also stated that the land chief, township chief and the intermediary would deduct the money and inspect it for tax.
From this sale deed, we can see that in the late Ming Dynasty, the lives of farmers and kiln workers were becoming increasingly difficult. Li Shi recalled that he and "Bai Mangmang" had discussed the living conditions of the people after the Wanli Year of the Ming Dynasty.
"There is no idle land in the world, and the people are still starving to death. At the end of any dynasty, when wars break out, the people at the bottom will always suffer the most."
…
Chen Muling was very patient, and she followed Li Shi around slowly.
Li Shi looked at the exhibits very carefully, and besides looking at the exhibits, she also curiously looked at the boy she had just met last night.
Although she had not been in contact with him for a long time, she felt that Li Shi was a little different. Just like at this moment, the tourists around him were basically just looking at the exhibition, or even in a hurry. Everyone came to visit the museum, look at cultural relics, and It was just excitement and novelty, and he was so absorbed in standing in front of the exhibits that he would occasionally use his mobile phone to check information or take a notebook to record something.
"These cultural relics seem to be different in his eyes."
"Besides, he seems...more and more handsome the more he looks at him."
In fact, when they met by chance, she should have said goodbye and left, but for some reason, she still stayed and accompanied him slowly until two o'clock in the afternoon.
There are rough reading and intensive reading in reading. This is considered "intensive reading" by Li Shi. He only visited the "Ancient China Exhibition", which took him five hours.
What he didn't expect was that this Baodao girl named Chen Muling actually accompanied him for the second half of the journey.
After coming out of the National Museum, Li Shi asked with a smile: "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. You're hungry. Let's go. I'll treat you to dinner. Let's go a little further and take a taxi."
The two walked for a while before calling a taxi with their mobile phones.
After getting in the car, the two chatted about their feelings about visiting the museum. Chen Muling took out her camera from her bag and showed Li Shi the ancient costumes she was taking pictures of. Then she suddenly said: "Which attraction are you going to visit next? Let's We can still be together.”
Li Shi turned to look at the girl next to him.
She was wearing a polka-dot skirt underneath and a black suit on the outside. Her long, silky hair was draped over her shoulders and in front of her body. Her facial features were beautiful and soft, and she had a faint smile on her face. Before she even spoke, Li Shi seemed to hear her. Sticky tone.
Li Shi was leaving the capital at night for ZK City, Nanhe Province. If it were another boy, he might have changed his itinerary and stayed for the beauty, but he was not that kind of person.
In front of learning, women and him are like floating clouds.
The appearance of the twin sisters and the face of a female star appeared in his mind. Well, he agreed to make a good living and invited them to Tanzhou to play. We are trustworthy people and must seize the time to complete this study tour. Good to go back and prepare.
Li Shi smiled and said truthfully: "I'm going to take the train tonight..." (End of Chapter)
