No Human Flow
When I was little, my family was very poor. The most valuable thing we owned was the iron lock on our front gate, so I treasured it dearly. “Whenever it rained, I'd rush to the gate, hug the big iron lock, and say, ‘Old Lock, dear Old Lock, please don't rust! Don't rust!’”

Problems in humanities research
I work in biochemistry. 😅It's really annoying how liberal arts students always talk about "Mr. Xxx," "Teacher xx," and "following a lineage or faction." It's a bunch of messy feudal remnants.
It should be said that archaeology is legitimate and has protective research functions. Tomb raiding is illegal, highly destructive, and driven by self-interest.
Sometimes I find it hard to understand... For example, what's the point of researching whether China's smelting technology predates that of so-and-so?
I hope to control the amount of praise and flattery given to the main character.
Writing a few of these occasionally is fine, but too many of these descriptions, especially since almost every chapter, every character, and every scene is filled with surprise, praise, and support for the protagonist, is excessive and deviates from the theme. Of course, there's no need to create artificial obstacles or fabricate villains.
This is a difficult topic to write about. There have been too many jokes in recent years, and at the same time, we have to maintain political correctness.
The tomb raiders have talismans; the tomb raiders have seals; the mountain movers have techniques; the mountain unloaders have armor; and the archaeologists have evidence.
Obsessing over history... Is obsessing over the past. History should help us see the mistakes we made and avoid repeating them. Constantly dwelling on whether everything originated in ancient times seems to put the cart before the horse. I often bring up my younger days, having sex four or five times a day. Now that I'm older, I sometimes sigh in bed because I'm not up to the task anymore.
Write honestly about Chinese archaeology, and avoid foreign topics, because many foreign artifacts are from last week; there are too many fakes.
Most archaeological masters are also major collectors. What they collect is none of your concern, and how they acquired it is even less of your concern.
