Chapter 914 The host and guest enjoy themselves
In the conference room, four professors sat upright and the students all had their necks tilted upwards. It couldn’t be said that they were thirsty for knowledge, but at least they didn’t object to the knowledge flowing through their brains.
Jiang Yuan was quite satisfied with this. He had traveled to ten provinces, and although the criminal police in many places obeyed orders and abided by discipline, they were not very passionate about knowledge. This did not have much impact on the daily case-solving, but it did affect the mood of the knowledge outputters.
Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "After I went back, I carefully examined these corpses and the first thing I discovered was a relatively common change in the bone morphology of the maxillary sinus. Half of the corpses had this condition in their maxillary sinuses, and it was suspected to be long-term maxillary sinusitis."
Sinusitis of the maxillary sinus is the most basic rhinitis. But in today's meeting, Jiang Yuan naturally used the precise name commonly used by anthropologists, without specifically translating it into rhinitis.
The jargon among peers is natural and necessary, and it is more accurate and simpler than the common language. It is like saying "333" when playing games instead of typing "Please retreat" seriously, or fashionable men and women forming a couple at an electronic music festival instead of nakedly saying a friendly agreement not to interfere with each other after a few days of casual sex.
In addition, the sinus has four cavities, and it is necessary to clearly state that it is the maxillary sinus.
Professor Tao Yajie, who was present at the meeting, exclaimed, "Half as many? I didn't even notice."
"There are a few relatively hidden but clear changes in bone morphology." Jiang Yuan gestured to Wang Chuanxing to show the PPT he wrote last night while staying up late.
In the PPT, Jiang Yuan enlarged the photos of several skulls and thoughtfully drew red circles around them, allowing people to clearly see the changes in bone morphology at a glance.
Students including Wang Weiqing all made “Oh” sounds of sudden enlightenment and couldn’t help discussing it in low voices.
One student couldn't help but speak up and said, "The fact that a large number of individuals have sinusitis, does that mean that the climate at that time was relatively cold and dry?"
“Will there be air pollution at that time?”
"It is possible that officials and their families used coal or charcoal for heating. Could this be the case? It is said that the high mortality rate of Ming Dynasty princes was related to the charcoal used as tribute."
"It could also be that there was an epidemic disease or something like that..."
Jiang Yuan and others allowed the students to discuss. These were arguments summarized in textbooks or previous papers, and they could be used as basic evidence for the first round.
As the students discussed, several professors and other teachers in the same group began to join the discussion.
Jiang Yuan himself would be very happy if someone could complete the subsequent analysis. For anthropology, finding that most people have sinusitis is like drawing auxiliary lines when doing geometry problems. The question is for everyone, and the diagram is for everyone, but until someone draws the correct auxiliary lines, the problem cannot be solved.
After the auxiliary lines are drawn, the subsequent problem-solving steps are relatively simple. It can even be said that the better the auxiliary lines are drawn, the simpler the problem-solving steps will be.
Jiang Yuan finished talking about the sinus problem in just a few words, but the related discussion continued very naturally.
Tao Yajie was a little hesitant, and asked Jiang Yuan: "Will it be a waste of your time?"
After all, it didn't take long for this man to catch a group of tomb robbers.
Jiang Yuan waved his hand and said, "I just want to know what everyone thinks."
What he said was true. He came to the university to participate in this work because he was interested in it. Otherwise, he would not have participated.
Tao Yajie smiled and nodded: "Although the discussions among young people are relatively shallow, their ideas are quite good and often innovative."
"It's just right for me." Jiang Yuan was a little modest, and he was also telling the truth. What they discussed was not only anthropology, but also archaeology. It just happened to be anthropology, so he could learn some related content. If he needed to study it later, he would have a better idea.
Of course, it would be great if you could pick up a handy legacy in the future.
"The Tomb of King Yong is a very rare tomb in China, with the main tombs basically intact. Our paper plans to talk about the lifestyle and funeral rituals..." Tao Yajie said, and introduced the idea of the paper to Jiang Yuan, and said: "This time we can recover the cultural relics in the stolen tomb, especially the relevant photos. It can be said that the conditions are perfect..."
As she spoke, Professor Sun next to her also agreed: "Indeed, the route we took this time is still relatively advanced in the country... Of course, with the help of Professor Jiang, we were able to find the burial objects in the tomb intact, which is also unique in the country..."
"I feel that starting from the point that there are obvious traces of King Yong's kneeling is also a very good direction to start. We generally believe that kneeling was uncommon during the Yong king's period, but judging from the condition of this skeleton, at least King Yong himself and his family still retained the habit of kneeling." Tao Yajie took the opportunity to enter the discussion.
Jiang Yuan heard this and said, "I was just about to mention this. The ones with obvious signs of kneeling were actually King Yong and his wife. I personally looked up some documents from the same period and also saw some photos. I personally think that the identity of the people who chose to kneel was closely related to their religious beliefs."
"Worshiping Buddha?" Tao Yajie nodded unconsciously: "This is a very good reason. We did find a lot of Buddhist scriptures among the burial objects."
"There is a conflict between worshiping Buddha and burial rituals," Professor Sun objected.
"The point of burying people alive with the dead may be related to King Yong's son," Tao Yajie responded.
Soon, several other people joined the discussion.
Soon after, Wu Jun also started to join in. He had his own unique insights into the burial objects, shapes, rituals, etc. in the tombs. Although his basic knowledge was a little poor, he was able to talk with several archaeologists.
The atmosphere of the discussion was therefore unusually harmonious.
Jiang Yuan waited quietly until the end of get off work time. He watched Wu Jun exchange contact information with several people before inviting everyone to have dinner together.
The store had been booked long ago, a very good mountain delicacy store.
As we all know, large tombs are built in the mountains surrounded by mountains, so the wild delicacies in the places where large tombs are unearthed are delicious. Especially in the places where large tombs are unearthed, if they are still undeveloped mountains, it means that the environment has been good since ancient times, and the wild delicacies produced in the area naturally have the advantages of orderly inheritance and stable genes.
Therefore, if you are rich and have free time, do not have to work, and have no family burden, if you want to eat wild delicacies, you can follow the address of the newly excavated tomb and look for farmhouses or professional wild delicacies restaurants nearby.
Jiang Yuan used some of the social funds given by his father and treated everyone to legally hunted wild boars and other game.
The guests and hosts enjoy themselves.
I ate a few skewers of grilled lamb a few days ago. Maybe it was not cooked well, or maybe it was because of some technological tricks. My delicate body couldn’t handle it at all. I collapsed for two days...
