Alright, thank you.

Alright, the gentleman at the back

That's a big buyer.

Basically, once he raises his paddle,

other bidders usually drop out.

It's a hammer price.

Four million yuan,

going once.

Four million yuan,

going twice.

Mr. Zhao.

Congratulations, congratulations.

-On what? -Y-You're so wealthy.

Look, the most expensive item at the auction today

has been bought by you.

What you said is unpleasant.

It's just my passion for collecting cultural relics.

It's a matter of cultural cultivation.

How can you only relate this to money?

As you said,

expensive ones should be bought,

while the cheap ones should be ditched.

That's what a fool does.

Right?

If one wants to make money,

who would do that here?

People are into real estate and finance now.

That's right, that's right.

Indeed, that's right.

Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao.

My pleasure to meet you.

Hong was saying that you have a sharp eye.

The piece you just bought,

the blue and white celestial globe vase with nine dragons amidst sea waves.

Its shape is full and rounded.

The blue and white coloring is very classic.

If you look closely, each of the nine dragons is different.

But each one is very majestic.

A few years ago, a piece that is not as good as this one

was auctioned at the Winthrop Auction House.

For this price.

I can see you're also an expert.

Not compared to Mr. Zhao.

I'm at most an elementary level.

I am Mu Jianhui.

I'm running an antique shop in the South Market of Qinchuan.

Well, we're in the same business.

I also have an antique shop.

Mr. Zhao, you're being too modest.

This is hardly just an antique shop.

This is a museum.

I've heard about it for a long time.

Never had the chance to visit.

Mr. Zhao is truly a role model in Qinchuan's collectibles community.

Definitely.

Nonsense. What role model?

You're welcome to come when you have time.

I have to catch a flight.

I'll go first, alright?

Okay, okay, okay.

Alright, alright, alright.

Okay, goodbye.

Welcome, welcome.

Okay, okay, okay.

Goodbye, goodbye.

-See you. -Have a safe trip.

Okay, okay, okay.

Zhao Youlin.

He's just putting on airs,

pretending to be so arrogant.

He started out as a construction contractor.

Your business has grown significantly over the past few years.

Now you're even joining auctions.

You know very well my assets.

I hitched a ride with a friend

just to see what it's all about here.

Why don't you bid on a few items?

Auctions are for big bosses.

It's not for us at the bottom of the pyramid,

right?

I think you just got used to getting wholesale prices.

You don't want middlemen to profit from the markup.

Uncle.

Are you interested

in getting some Song Dynasty ceramics from tombs?

We can both make some money.

I'd like to get something for nothing too,

but this kind of fortune

is not meant for me.

What do you mean?

Look,

Song Dynasty ceramics were produced in large quantities during the dynasty.

They weren't very valuable then.

Who would consider them as grave goods?

So you're saying we can't dig up

Song Dynasty ceramics from tombs?

The chances are slim.

Let's buy some then.

That's why you should take the lead and set an example first.

Song Dynasty ceramics are so popular now,

and there aren't many sources to get one of them.

Scarcity increases value, right?

In a few years, the price will skyrocket.

Let's not talk about these uncertainties.

I've brought the things.

Take a look.

These are all good pieces.

As usual,

tell me your price first.

Two million.

Are you kidding? Two million?

One million at most.

If Winthrop Auction House auctions these items,

they'll at least multiply the price by 10.

You have seen a lot and know better.

You must be clearer about this than I am, right?

All these years, I've considered you a friend.

I've never wanted to complain,

but my brothers

risk their lives every day digging graves.

They're barely making ends meet.

I just want to earn them some more hard-earned money.

We're all risking our lives doing this.

Alright, alright.

I'll take a bit of a loss.

I'll add 200,000,

okay?

We're buddies, aren't we?

Two million.

I've already made a firm promise to my brothers.

Mu.

You're talking tough, aren't you?

Don't think that just because you've connected with Zhao Youlin,

someone will cover for you.

These collectors are all social elites.

They live in the spotlight.

I bet you

they absolutely don't dare to take those items from the tomb.

Thanks for the reminder.

But, turning down money

is something I've never seen in this business.

I'm leaving.

Ms. Luo.

What brings you here?

I had the professors from the provincial institute take a look at the stone.

They all said they've never seen anything like it before.

Guo Shilin's response is the same.

Uncle Youliang is eager to start construction.

If there's no problem, you should let him continue.

So you think there's no problem too?

Why?

Have you found anything?

Not yet.

So you haven't found anything new either.

Why waste time on those stones?

There's nothing worth studying.

Do you know

which dynasty those stones are from?

I don't know either.

If we don't find it out,

how can we conclude that they have no research value?

I'm just trying to give you a friendly reminder.

Don't waste your effort.

I know you're trying to remind me out of goodwill.

Let me express my opinion as well.

These river pebbles with highly consistent shapes

appeared in a place where they shouldn't be.

Don't you find that suspicious?

We haven't even checked the surrounding hydrology

or any other miscellaneous aspects.

And now we're saying it's not worth it,

no need to investigate further.

Do you think that's appropriate?

Fine.

Then go ahead with your irrigation well.

Give me Mr. Zan's work notebook.

We're going for a field survey tomorrow.

I can't give it to you. I haven't finished reading it yet.

You're not even going on the field survey.

Why are you hogging the resources without using them?

Ms. Luo, you...

Look.

How come after these years of fieldwork,

your speech has become so down-to-earth

and your actions have become so uncivilized?

Cut the crap! Give it to me!

I can't.

Alright.

A single man and woman in someone else's house late at night,

arguing and making a fuss. Is this any way to behave?

Fine.

Go ahead and be stubborn.

Kun.

What do you want for lunch?

It's been a long time since I had

Auntie's oil-splashed noodles.

I want to try it again.

Okay, I'll go tell my mom to prepare it.

Alright, alright.

Xiaoman.

What?

I want to ask you something.

Go ahead.

You know, those stones in the well,

have you seen them anywhere else?

Stones?

No, I haven't.

Then, when Mr. Zan

was staying at your home,

did he take any stones or anything like that?

Oh my goodness.

It's been so long.

I can't remember.

It's okay, I was just asking.

Qing.

Good morning.

Morning.

Mom.

Where's the fresh garlic?

In the back.

Here, Mom.

When Professor Zan stayed at our place back then,

do you remember him having a stone?

I don't remember.

Think about it.

It's been so long.

Who can still remember those things?

What does this stone have to do with Mr. Zan?

According to Mr. Zan's notes, there was a stone before.

[Field survey results of the Han MausoleuMausoleum]

But only the stone's dimensions were recorded.

It didn't say where the stone was from.

No wonder you've held onto the notebook without giving it to me.

Why didn't you say so earlier?

After I returned to the site,

you've got so hot-tempered,

ready to shout at me at any moment.

I dare not to provoke you.

I'm sorry.

Alright, alright.

I forgive you.

So what should we do next?

I think,

Mr. Zan would not

place so much importance on a stone for no reason.

Right?

I want to first go and check out

the situation in that well.

Then go to other places to search

to see if I can find a similar stone.

It would be best if we could confirm

where the stone in Mr. Zan's possession

was discovered.

Fang Kun.

If you need any help,

remember to call me.

I...

Ms. Luo.

I'm ready.

And this is for you.

What? It's not for you, Kun.

What's he doing?

Well, just let him have it. He's afraid of getting sunburned.

But he's already so tanned.

I've marked out the route,

using villages as units.

How should we proceed along the route?

Usually, we walk in a straight line or a V-shape.

If the intervals are large,

we should walk in a zigzag pattern.

At the same time, we need to pay attention to natural cross-sections

and modern artificial borrow pits.

If we encounter any ruins or artifacts,

use a positioning device to measure the precise latitude and longitude.

Then mark the relative positions on the topographic map.

And we also need to take

relevant written notes.

Xiaobai,

dig a few more holes.

You must be precise when you use the shovel.

Keep your feet steady.

Keep your eyes sharp.

Observe carefully.

Okay, got it.

It's like the four traditional Chinese medical diagnostic methods, right?

Look, doesn't this look like rammed earth?

But there's neither an accumulation of tiles

nor the variegated earth section of the tomb.

But it still looks like rammed earth.

So what should we do in this situation?

What do you do?

I'm here to do archaeology.

Young man.

I've seen you before.

A few years ago,

you came here looking for looting pits, didn't you?

Auntie, you have a great memory.

You can still remember me even though my hair has grown so long.

Why are you looking at this stone?

What's the meaning of examining it?

Auntie Li, you really have such limited knowledge.

What's wrong with examining a stone?

I've even seen people examine clods of earth.

They examined a big clod of earth

for half a day.

Then they wrote and drew something on it.

Go away. What do you know?

You don't understand. You...

Are you a college student? A graduate student?

A graduate student.

So you're here to

examine these clods in the field?

You must be working for a government institution.

How much do you make a month?

Well,

let's not worry about how much I can earn.

If you find any stones like this one

in other places,

let me know.

I'll pay you, okay?

You even pay for this?

-How much? -Is it valuable?

I'll make sure you don't lose out, okay?

Really? Is that true?

Even stones are worth money,

right?

Then tell us how much it is worth.

Tell me, can the presence of surface artifacts

be used as a criterion for determining whether it's an archaeological site?

No, it can't.

It depends on whether the artifacts are in their original context

or have undergone a secondary movement.

This requires further excavation to prove.

That's only half correct.

Because sometimes,

simply through archaeological excavation,

we can't get a definitive answer.

Okay.

What's the difference between traditional archaeological survey methods

and the Systematic Regional Survey?

Traditional...

After dinner, come to my place to pick up some literature.

They cover information on Emperor Taizong of Han's Zi Mausoleum,

Dou Mausoleum, and South Mausoleum.

Take notes on everything you think is useful.

Alright, understood.

Professor Luo.

-Kun. -Sorry to interrupt you.

Are you giving a lecture?

What's the meaning of this?

Hasn't he been doing well since he came?

Why are you being so harsh?

What are you? A tyrant?

Could you lower your voice?

Could you lower your voice?

Field archaeology must follow a scientific process.

Whether it's reviewing previous work

or starting a new investigation,

you need to take notes.

You're sitting while making the kid stand. Look what you're doing.

Here.

Let me sit for a while.

Let me ask you something.

Tell me about the achievements of Emperor Taizong of Han.

In the early Han Dynasty, due to years of warfare,

the economy was in decline,

and people could barely make a living.

Emperor Taizong advocated the Huang-Lao philosophy,

promoting reduced forced labor and lower taxes

and recuperation and relaxation for the people.

The economy and culture quickly recovered.

Later, Emperor Jing continued this philosophy,

further developing the economy and culture.

This period

is considered to be a time of

rapid economic and cultural development in Chinese history.

-Well said. -It's also...

Look at him, this young man.

This is basic cultural knowledge.

Now let me ask you,

the Nine Western Han Mausoleums are in Wulingyuan,

but why was Emperor Taizong buried in Bailu Plain?

The ancients emphasized etiquette and rules,

stressing the arrangement of spirit tablets in ancestral temples, called Zhaomu System.

No one could overstep their bounds.

Emperor Taizong was Emperor Hui's younger brother.

He wasn't the eldest one or a legitimate son,

so he wasn't qualified to be an emperor.

If he had been buried

with his brother and father in Wulingyuan,

it would've challenged the tradition of respecting seniority.

Excellent.

You're so brilliant.

If the full score is 10,

he only deserves one point.

You'd better study hard.

Don't be influenced by him.

Look at you.

Gosh.

Take care, Ms. Luo.

Sit down, come on.

No, it's okay.

Sit down. Do your thing over there.

Ms. Luo is just like this.

Look at the way she is

all day long.

She's the same with me.

Very difficult to deal with.

Let me tell you,

often,

she makes unreasonable demands,

is impossible to communicate with,

and makes things up out of nothing.

I've been dealing with her for a long time.

I can do nothing. I can't leave.

What you said is not wrong.

If I were like you,

I would have left long ago if I could.

Leave? Where to?

I mean, Ms. Luo is right.

I only deserve one point.

Let's put the Fengjiapo case aside for now.

Recently,

there have been frequent thefts

at Song Dynasty ceramic kiln sites in Shangyi.

In the cultural relics market,

the hype around Song Dynasty ceramics has inexplicably skyrocketed.

Police departments from various regions

have already sent out joint investigation notices.

Next,

the Relics Inspection Team's task

is to inspect the market,

assist in the investigation,

and strictly prevent opportunistic dealers

from illegally trafficking such ceramics.

[Mingde Museum]

Dad.

Is this where you lived when you were young?

Yes.

Can we go back there?

We can't.

Are you Mr. Mu?

Yes.

Come, please follow me.

Okay.

Watch your step.

Alright.

Please wait a moment.

Okay, thank you.

You must be Mr. Mu.

That's me.

I'm Wen Yuhe, Director Zhao's assistant.

Nice to meet you, Ms. Wen.

This way, please.

Okay.

Director Zhao is unavailable today.

Is there something I can help you with?

Well,

Nameless Pavilion

has acquired a few items.

Mingde Museum has a vast collection of treasures,

covering a wide range of artifacts.

I'm not sure if these few items

would be worthy of Director Zhao's esteemed collection.

You're being too modest.

Since you're here to present your treasures,

they must be something good.

If you don't mind,

could I take a look first?

Sure, sure, sure.

No problem.

Nameless Pavilion.

[Painted floral porcelain vase]

Mr. Mu,

this is too huge a joke.

These aren't just antiques or collectibles.

They're cultural relics.

As you can see,

in our Mingde Museum,

every exhibit has a clear identity

and provenance.

These items of yours with unclear origins,

[Nameless Pavilion]

we dare not accept them.

I understand.

Then I won't bother you anymore.

Let me see you out.

No need.

Our Mingde Museum used to be the Mu residence.

Have you heard of the Mu family from Qinchuan?

I've heard a little about them.

The name of the museum

is inspired by the old saying:

"The way of Great Learning lies in illuminating bright virtue."

It's mainly to use this old teaching to discipline us.

The origins of cultural relics should be very clear.

-Items from pits are not allowed. -Please.

People from Qinchuan

have all heard something about them more or less.

During the Daoguang era,

they prospered through business

and became a fourth-rank prefectural magistrate through donation.

They were practically as wealthy as a nation.

The Mu family

also had a fondness for antiques.

So, after accumulation over several generations,

they amassed countless collections.

When first establishing our museum,

we were fortunate enough to acquire some of their pieces.

But who would have thought

that such a family

would also decline?

Mr. Mu.

This way, please.

I-I came in from over there.

This way.

Okay.

Come, take a look at the base.

This is called a full-glazed base fired with sesame-shaped support nails.

Bro.

This is a genuine Ru Kiln piece from the Song Dynasty.

The situation has been tense lately.

Let me tell you.

It's just because I see you really like it.

Let's cut to the chase.

I-Is this really from the Song Dynasty?

I'll give you a tenfold penalty if it's fake.

I'm from the Relics Inspection Team.

What you just said

has all been recorded on video.

Where did you get this set of Ru Kiln teaware?

Bro.

Bro.

You'd better not be joking with me.

Who's joking with you?

I'm asking you where you got it.

Let me be honest with you.

These are all just handicrafts.

Look.

They're all identical.

They really aren't artifacts?

Why would I lie to you?

Bro, look, look.

Look.

I smashed one for you, look.

Just a handicraft.

Alright, welcome back next time.

Okay.

Jianhui, you're back.

I'm back.

What was the inspection team looking for in the South Market today?

I heard they were looking for Song Dynasty ceramics.

The situation is quite serious.

They've even caught their attention.

Jianhui.

Should we follow the trend?

At a time like this, the best choice is to stay out of it.

Don't even display handicrafts of Song Dynasty ceramics.

Alright.

Who's there?

Working overtime so late at night?

Isn't this Ms. Luo?

What's up? What's going on?

Nothing much.

I came to see you.

What a rare visitor.

Why are you here to see me?

I'm here to double-check the data

to see if I missed anything.

Is that the diagram you drew?

Let me take a look.

Sure.

Let's have Ms. Luo take a look

and give me a score.

Here.

Not bad. It's two points higher than Xiaobai's.

You've improved.

Alright, two points.

Getting Ms. Luo's approval

is not easy. Thank you.

The person you should thank is not me.

It's Mr. Zan.

If it weren't for him,

your drawing skills

wouldn't have even matched Xiaobai's.

I agree with that.

Don't sit on the ground.

It's so cold.

Here.

How's it going? Any progress?

Nothing for now.

Well, Mr. Zan

has passed away for so many years,

yet he left us another puzzle.

Do you remember back then,

why Du Mausoleum Village was called Du Mausoleum?

Because of a homophone,

it gave us quite a hard time.

I wonder what these stones mean.

Why are you

being so harsh now?

You're becoming more and more like the old man.

I'm not that harsh, am I?

You think I'm too hard on Xiaobai?

You're going to such great lengths.

What exactly do you want him to learn?

I just want him to know that this is a job.

It's tedious, dull,

and even boring.

There's no romance.

It's not beautiful or romantic.

I want to show him the hardest,

most unbearable side of archaeology.

If he can accept it,

he can stay and work.

If not,

I'll advise him to change careers early.

I don't agree with you.

I think it depends on the person.

Remember the time when we used to go on excavations?

We'd sing songs every day as we went to the fields.

How romantic it was.

There was a field over there.

Do you remember what Guo Shilin

always called that field?

The field of hope.

We rode bikes,

chasing the sunset

and greeting the sunrise in that field of hope.

Wasn't that romantic?

Why are you still such an idealist after all these years?

Just because you think this way

doesn't mean others do too.

You can't represent the mainstream of this industry.

Several of my classmates

have already switched careers to sell coal.

When we just graduated,

yes, we could move on with our ideals

and romance.

It's passion, you know?

But what about after getting married and having kids?

In the end, reality brings everyone back to square one.

What about you?

Staying in Qinchuan

alone.

What are you after?

Guo Shilin asked me this question too.

I told him

it was because of ideals.

But that's not entirely true.

Because at that time,

I didn't know how to answer him.

But now I have an answer.

A few years ago,

I ♪ The past ♪

came to Qinchuan in a daze.

After a long time,

Come down!

Have you found anything?

I've seen the burial chamber.

I'll go in and take a look.

Yes, yes, you go.

Look at you,

all flustered and panicky.

What are you so nervous about?

I wouldn't take on this delicate job if I didn't have relevant skills.

Are you sure this is the tomb of that Miao something?

It's the tomb of Miao Guangyi, a Founding General of the Northern Song.

This is his hometown.

Many Song Dynasty tombs have been excavated here before.

They're all related to the Miao family.

I've searched for

this tomb for a long time.

If I weren't certain it was his tomb,

I wouldn't dare to offer you this price.

Don't speak too soon.

Not until we find Song Dynasty ceramics.

Sheng.

It's beautiful.

Slow down. Don't touch anything.

How many pieces of ceramics are there?

Nine pieces.

They're all Ru Kiln pieces.

How do you know they're all from the Ru Kiln?

Where else can you find Song Dynasty ceramics in Shangyi?

What else could it be besides the Ru Kiln?

Look at this color.

They all look like duck eggshells.

As for Song Dynasty ceramics,

where else can you find such a greenish tint besides Ru Kiln?

It's absolutely stunning.

There's even an inscription here.

Look.

Miao Xun, courtesy name Guangyi,

is from Miaodian Town in Sheqi County.

In the first year of Guangshun,

Chen...

Qiao.

Chenqiao Mutiny.

Zhao Kuangyin seized power from the Later Zhou Dynasty.

He declared the country name as Song

and became the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty.

He appointed Miao Xun as

the Grand Military Advisor of the Nation...

End...

And.

He had another title.

And the Chief of the Astronomical Bureau.

Qiande Imperial Inscription.

This is an inscription by Qianyu Imperial.

Oh my goodness.

Who is Qiande Imperial?

What Qiande Imperial?

Qiande is an era name.

"Imperial" means the emperor's own handwriting.

It was inscribed by the emperor himself.

These are two separate things.

It's not Qiande Imperial.

Bro.

Look,

Miao Guangyi was from Sheqi County.

This was personally bestowed upon him by Emperor Zhao Kuangyin.

If this isn't his tomb,

whose tomb could it be?

You must be relieved now, right?

Alright.

Give me a price for these nine pieces.

You want all of them?

After all this effort, you think I'd leave any behind?

You don't have a market for them anyway.

I'm doing you a favor.

Song Dynasty ceramics are in high demand now.

Among them, the best ones are those from the Ru Kiln.

Since you're so sincere...

One million.

You think I'm a fool?

Then you tell me.

Look at you.

Is this how you haggle?

You're a better haggler than someone who just halves the price.

This number.

Take it

or leave it.

500,000.

I'll get the money right away if you're okay with it.

Alright.

Let me tell you,

I want cash, right now.

It's so lively here.

Come on, come on.

Look at you, all perky.

You even set off firecrackers for your birthday.

Sister.

I've been having bad luck these past two years.

Set off some firecrackers just to ward off evil spirits.

What are you talking about?

Look, she even brought you a cake.

It smells terrible here.

-Why did you bring that? -Let's go.

Come inside, come inside.

Let's go in and put the things down first.

Take the things, take the things with you.

Thank you, Shusheng.

Look how pleased you are. You've been carried away.

Go inside and have a seat.

I heard you've recently acquired a batch of Song Dynasty ceramics.

You're going to make a big fortune.

Why?

Want to make us jealous?

Listen to yourself.

How petty.

What do you mean by making a fortune?

We're preserving cultural heritage here.

Perfect timing.

Come and conduct an appraisal?

Where are they?

Right here.

So many pieces?

Don't rush. Let's examine them one by one.

Come on.

This is the first piece.

Take a good look.

Where did you get this?

Where else can this come from, given its quality?

From a tomb, of course.

Song Dynasty ceramics from a tomb?

In our province?

You're an expert. Why are you talking like an amateur?

Do we have such pieces in our province?

I've never seen anything like it before.

Can you tell what it is?

It looks like a paper-mallet vase.

What kiln do you think it is from?

Judging from its color...

Could it come from the Ru Kiln?

It really is?

The Ru Kiln is in Shangyi.

You made this fortune in Shangyi?

Don't ask a fellow professional, you know.

Right, right.

I understand.

Song Dynasty ceramics are very precious now.

Even if you tell me,

I don't dare to get involved.

And I can't afford to be involved.

Are these all from the Ru Kiln?

Open them and take a look.

No, no, no.

They're very expensive.

Take a look, come on.

If I chip or bump it, I can't afford to compensate.

Who's asking you to compensate?

Close them up.

Well then, tell me an estimate.

You're overestimating me.

In the past, for items under seven digits,

I could still count on my fingers.

But for such high-end artifacts,

I don't have enough fingers to count.

I can't tell you an estimate.

Can't or don't want to do so?

I really can't.

You can only ask King Hua. He's an expert.

You're in for a treat today.

Take a good look.

Are you kidding me?

What do you mean?

You said you had Song Dynasty ceramics.

That's why I came all this way to see you.

You brought me a handicraft?

What are you doing?

What handicraft?

I spent over a million.

I personally got it from a Song tomb in Shangyi.

It's a genuine piece from the Ru Kiln.

This is a Song Dynasty ceramic from a Song tomb?

What do you think?

How could there be Song Dynasty ceramics in a Song tomb?

If there are no Song Dynasty ceramics in a Song tomb,

where could these ceramics come from?

From Tang or Qing tombs?

You don't know anything.

I can't explain it to you anymore.

Why don't you go home and ask Jianhui?

Okay?

He's already seen it.

He spotted it at a glance.

This is a Northern Song Ru Kiln piece.

He didn't even estimate the price.

He told me to come straight to you.

Jianhui knows

that you got a Song Dynasty ceramic from a Song tomb?

Of course he knows.

Haven't you seen this glaze color?

It's so pleasing.

Well, do you want it or not?

What are you laughing at?

Let me tell you.

If you can't afford it, just walk away.

I'll find someone else.

Mr. Liu,

in our line of work,

we must be very cautious.

We must verify authenticity before finding a buyer.

You're right about that.

You just don't believe this item is genuine.

Let me show you another small plate.

Take a good look at what's written on the bottom.

This inscription was written by Zhao Kuangyin himself

for Miao Guangyi.

See for yourself.

I've seen enough.

Jianhui

is quite knowledgeable in this business.

Go home and ask him if it's genuine.

Then you'll know.

Okay?

See you next time.

Bye.
