Xu Hong, a famous archaeological scholar, cross-border writing and turned into a non-fiction writer - the first collection of prose essays, which can be called a companion book to "Pretending to Be Leisure".
This book is divided into 4 volumes: Nostalgia, Thoughts, Preface and Postscript, and Storytelling. It comes from Xu Hong's blog, Weibo, and articles published in newspapers and periodicals. The book contains the deep remembrance of the teacher and the unforgettable memory of the teachers and friends; there are reflections and rethinking of the archaeological circle; there are rigorous yet flexible prefaces, prefaces and postscripts; there are traces of the thoughts of writing the book, and there are also the insights gained from reading... The warm words between the lines reveal the feelings of an archaeologist who never forgets his original intention.
This is a truly "out of the circle" work.
Reader comments
This book gave me a new understanding of archeology. It turns out that archeology is not only the study of ancient remains, but also the exploration of human history and culture. The discussion of "archaeological culture" in the book also reminded me of the process of learning. We cannot blindly follow the path that others have taken, but must have our own thinking and exploration in order to continue to make progress. As the author said, we are entering a new stage of development, and I will continue to try new methods in my studies to find a path that suits me.
