In 2020, new archaeological discoveries in China were announced in Beijing. What do you think is the significance of archaeology?

When it comes to archaeology, everyone will feel strange. In people's stereotype, archaeology is a grave-robbing profession. In fact, this major covers a wide range. Archaeology is a subject that studies how to find and obtain the physical remains of ancient human society and how to study human history according to these remains. Archaeology is also very meaningful.

Archaeology is actually close to us. Although it is thousands of years away from us, it can help you grasp the reality and predict the future. We often find some things in archaeology, some are concrete cultural relics, some are ancient books, and the value of these things is hard to describe with money. Through these cultural relics, we can learn about people's living conditions and food culture thousands of years ago, which is of great significance to the study of social development. ? Taking history as a mirror, can you know the rise and fall? History can make people smart. Archaeology, what is important is not to let us know about ancient times, but more importantly, to know about present life. This is the significance of history to the life of contemporary people.

There are many things in archaeological research, the main object of which is the physical data left by ancient human activities, including relics, sites, sites and so on. Archaeology is not a simple matter. It tests people's patience and perseverance. Of course, there are strict requirements for the physical strength of archaeologists, and the choice of archaeologists should be respected. In fact, it is difficult for students who graduated from archaeology to find jobs. There are many reasons. However, I believe that interest is the best teacher. As long as you are interested, don't waste your talent. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, you should stick to it.

The purpose of archaeology is not to obtain national treasures and archaeological significance, but to find out the development context of the whole Chinese civilization behind these sites and cultural relics. This is the interpretation, restoration and inheritance of China culture to the greatest extent, and it also reshapes the national pride and self-confidence of the Chinese nation since modern times.
