This book is revised based on the book "The Other Side of Archeology" published by our agency in 2016. The new book deletes the text that is relatively alien to archaeological work and adds a large number of thematic and professional articles. After the revision, the book is divided into four parts, namely: Looking for Tombs, Talking about Stones, Reading the City, and Investigating Objects. The two parts, "Looking for Tombs" and "Yu Shi", are based on additions, deletions and revisions of the contents of the two parts of the original book "Shiyu" and "Books from Tombs"; the first part "Reading the City" is a completely new content, mainly focusing on urban archeology in Zhejiang; the first part "Looking for Things" is based on the content of the original book "Observing Things", which is still mainly about what is seen, heard and felt during archaeological travels or personal daily life.

Archaeologist Zheng Jiali turned his exploration of history to the source of his own bloodline - the Chaodongwu Natural Village in Chumen, Yuhuan. He affectionately salvaged the fragments of the village's centuries-old changes, and constructed a life record with both warmth and thickness at the intersection of personal memory and collective narrative. The book's detailed description of material relics such as old houses, homesteads, rice fields, and salt fields, as well as its precise restoration of historical details such as village life and livelihood, retain the vivid texture of folk memory and give individual destiny a sense of historical depth. The ties of blood and the secrets of growth are condensed into a thrilling "spiritual archeology", which not only shows the century-old strata of the village, but also allows the family affection, nostalgia and the pain of the times that have been buried in the land to breathe again.
