What contribution does archaeology make to archaeology?

The word "archaeology" appeared in the Song Dynasty. Lu Dalin, a scholar of epigraphy in the Northern Song Dynasty, wrote a book Archaeological Map in 1092, and collected some bronzes and stone carvings handed down from ancient times. "Book *** 10 Volume" systematically records the ancient bronzes and jades collected by the court and private houses at that time.

Volumes 1 to 6 of the archaeological map are Shang and Zhou artifacts such as Ding, Wei, Gui, Jue, etc. The catalogue lists 138 artifacts, and the paid-in 143 artifacts. The seventh volume is musical instruments such as chimes. There are 10 musical instruments in the catalogue, and there are 15 musical instruments paid in. Volume 8 is Emerald, listing 13 projects and receiving 9 projects. Volume 9 Volume 10 is the Qin and Han Dynasties, with 63 items listed and 67 paid-in items. A total of 224 projects were listed and 234 projects were paid.

The "archaeological map" carefully describes the shape and style of each vessel, records the size and weight, and indicates the land and collection place as much as possible. There are more than 90 unearthed cultural relics on record, accounting for more than half of the unearthed cultural relics in Shaanxi.

The arrangement of archaeological maps pays attention to the relationship between * * *. For example, the third volume contains the "Yi Shan Gui Clothes" obtained from Heqing, Henan Province, and also the unearthed Ding, Gui, Gui, Gui and Zhu.

Editors can also infer the age according to the shape, text and land of the object. Volume 1 "yiding", that is, according to its "shape and character", is presumed to be made by businessmen. Although the name of the ship is not negotiable, its correctness and academic value are still beyond doubt. It is the earliest and most systematic catalogue of ancient artifacts in China, and it has a pioneering achievement in recording the styles of ancient artifacts.

During the reign of Xuanhe in Song Huizong, Song Huizong wrote the Map of Xuanhe and Bo Gu, and Prime Minister Wang Fu compiled 30 volumes. Compilation started at 1 107 and was completed after 1 123. This book records 839 bronzes from Shang Dynasty to Tang Dynasty collected by the royal family in Xuanhe Hall in Song Dynasty.

The atlas of Xuanhe and Bo Gu contains the essence of bronze wares in the Song Dynasty. Divided into Ding, Zun, Jia, Yi, Zhou, Yi, Bottle, Pot, Jue, Yi, Shield, Bi, Bi, Pan, Secret, Yu Zhong, Miscellaneous, etc. Various artifacts are arranged according to the times, and each artifact has a general statement. Each artifact has a reproduction map, inscriptions and descriptions, and its size, weight and capacity are recorded. Some are equipped with unearthed places, colors and collectors' names, and the names and inscriptions of the vessels are also explained in detail and carefully researched.
