China News Service, Lanzhou, August 4th (Reporter Feng Zhijun) Recently, Hunan left-behind girl Zhong Fangrong, with a score of 676 points in the college entrance examination for liberal arts, applied for the archaeology major of Peking University and became a hot topic in the market. On the one hand, some people are worried that "the archaeological profession, which is quite unpopular, has no money, and may not be able to get a job." On the other hand, many experts and scholars in the cultural and academic circles support them and reach out for "group pets."

　　“Don’t forget your original aspirations, stick to your ideals, calm down and study hard.” Fan Jinshi, honorary dean of the Dunhuang Academy and graduated from the Department of Archaeology at Peking University, recently wrote a letter expressing his blessings and hopes to Zhong Fangrong, and at the same time he also sent the "I The home of my heart is Dunhuang: Fan Jinshi's Self-explanation for encouragement.

　　“I have liked history and cultural relics since I was a child, and I was influenced by Mr. Fan Jinshi, so I applied for the major of archaeology. I am very grateful to the teachers of archaeology on Weibo for their encouragement!" Zhong Fangrong later responded through the certification Weibo.

　　The archaeological circle likes to mention the hot search. The serious and rigorous mainland scholars "naturally can't sit still". They "turn over the boxes" to search for their own good books and send them to Zhong Fangrong, hoping that there will be "the successors" in the protection of Chinese cultural relics.

　　During this period, the Gansu Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology and more than 10 domestic archaeological institutes took the lead in launching the action of "Tuan Chong" Zhong Fangrong, sending out the "Early Qin Culture Series Archaeological Report II: Qingshui Liuping" and "Relics of Xirong: "Cultural Relics Unearthed from the Majiayuan Warring States Cemetery", and the message: "The heart has a dream, and it shines. Stick to the original aspiration, you can expect it!"

　　The Gansu Provincial Museum also followed suit with a hardcover "Collection of Cultural Relics in the Gansu Provincial Museum". Jia Jianwei, the curator of Gansu Provincial Museum, also sent his blessings: "I hope you will live up to your youth, have the courage to explore, be determined to innovate, and contribute to China's archaeological cause!"

　　The hot search on the "High Score News Archaeology Major" not only shows that the protection of cultural relics represented by archaeology has attracted more and more attention from the society, but it also reflects the dilemma that the cultural relics protection major has been cold in the academic setting of universities for many years.

　　Taking Gansu, a province with large cultural relics in China, as an example, the "talent shortage" is a "field dilemma" that China News Agency reporters have repeatedly heard during their interviews for many years. This is not only true of some grassroots cultural and cultural institutions with "weak foundations", even as the cultural and cultural management institution with the largest number of world cultural heritages and the widest cross-regional scope in China, the Dunhuang Research Institute has a professional scientific and technological protection and restoration team, but it is still satisfied Can not meet the cultural protection needs of Gansu.

　　"Archaeology requires frequent work in remote places in the wild. It is a relatively hard industry, especially for a girl." Guo Qinglin, director of the Conservation Research Institute of Dunhuang Academy, analyzed to a reporter from China News Service on the 4th. The increasing emphasis on and investment in cultural relics, coupled with the continuous publicity and reporting by the media, has increased the public’s understanding of the cultural relics industry, and there is a trend of becoming more popular.

　　Guo Qinglin said that in the development of any business, talents come first. It is believed that letting the public deeply understand the significance of cultural relics protection and cultural relics protection will attract more outstanding talents to join the cultural relics cause and expand the cultural relics protection team.
