Chapter 194: Heaven-Defying Press Conference

"No Chinese characters can appear on the cultural relics at the press conference. This is our bottom line! Shit!"

"Finally, I want to emphasize again that we are looking for our roots, not returning to our ancestors. Goguryeo was a country more powerful than the Tang Dynasty. How could such a powerful empire use Chinese characters?"

The leader of the National Heritage Agency repeatedly emphasized this to the special operations team that Wu Sehun was a member of.

After saying this, he waved his sleeves and left angrily.

A group of experts were left staring at each other, then they all smiled bitterly on their faces.

What the leader said is good, but I can’t do it!

There are Chinese characters on the cultural relics. Do you want to grind off the inscriptions engraved on the bronze ware yourself, or scrape off the poems on the glaze of the porcelain?

"Actually, we can just put a mosaic," an expert suggested.

"My friend who studied abroad in Japan, please calm down. We are holding a serious press conference."

"Is there anyone who can classify the cultural relics into two piles, those with Chinese characters and those without? It's too uncomfortable to choose like this."

"Classification? Don't try to save face when the boss isn't here. Can't you just pick out the ones without Chinese characters?"

"Then pick out the ones without Chinese characters!"

"Just pick it, why are you yelling so loudly?"

"Please stop arguing and give me some constructive suggestions."

"Shixun, you say it!"

Me? Me again?
Wu Sehun has a lot of grievances to express.

He didn't expect that after changing places, he was still the youngest one. Not only that, he was even the one with the lowest position among all the people present.

With double BUFF blessing, he is the best of brothers.

"If you ask me, you can consider murals." He gave his opinion somewhat helplessly.

"Tell me your reasons."

"Everyone, listen here, Sehun is going to give his key opinion now!"

Looking at the old man's hand pointing at him, Wu Sehun had a strange sense of familiarity, as if last time, a senior also asked him by name to express his opinion. After he finished speaking, he came directly to Seoul from South Gyeongsang Province.

I won’t be unlucky again this time, will I?
He quickly expressed his thoughts:
"First of all, there are no Chinese characters on the murals. Although this is not the only feature of the murals, unlike those ordinary bottles and jars, the murals can reflect the unique culture of the Goguryeo people, which makes everyone who sees them naturally admire them."

"It can be used to promote the culture of our Great Cold Nation."

"Are you sure there are no Chinese characters?" Someone raised a different opinion: "But I remember there were several lines of characters in the middle of the mural?"

"Is that Chinese characters? Anyway, I can't recognize what it says. If anyone here knows what it says, please tell me."

The experts looked at each other, and after a few minutes, no one responded to Wu Sehun's question.

There are indeed words, but I don’t recognize any of them.

They knew some Chinese characters, but the lines of text on the murals had no horizontal, vertical, or diagonal strokes. If they were not from the wrong era, they would look a bit like hieroglyphs.

Finally, an expert in ancient Chinese characters came out to explain:

"Although I don't know it either, I think it is very likely the writing system that Goguryeo had just developed. If the country had not been destroyed, we might have already had our own writing system."

"So Shixun's idea of ​​displaying the murals is correct. The text on it can just attract the leaders' attention to the research work on ancient characters. Besides, my funding for this year has not been approved yet."

"Ahem, what do you think?"

"I have no objection." Wu Sehun replied immediately.

It's pretty good, that feeling of everyone having their own ulterior motives, everyone wants to achieve their own demands through this matter, and he can become the greatest common denominator of everyone's goals, and he will have a share in all the good things.

"We don't have any objection either."

"Since the senior has said so, I trust your judgment."

"Just say it's Goguryeo's writing, so it can be distinguished from Tang culture."

"That makes sense. We can make great use of this kind of writing in the future..." With the support of ancient writing experts, Wu Sehun's plan was supported by almost everyone.

But just when everyone was getting ready to finish work and go home for dinner, he suddenly came up with a great idea - the mythological characters on the murals could also be of great use.

"These mythological characters appear on the murals in our ancestors' tombs. Doesn't this mean that they are also the cultural heritage of our ancestors?"

"what--"

The eyes of other experts present lit up instantly.

Although there is a "big" in front of the name of Dahan Mingguo, it is actually very small, with an area equivalent to two Tongliao sizes.

It's really difficult to work in the National Heritage Office in a place like this.

There was a time when their main task was to inspect the ancestral tombs of every household across the country. As long as they were old enough, they would be counted as cultural heritage, regardless of quality, only quantity.

None of the experts present were spared and their ancestral graves were basically registered.

Seeing that most of the old graves were almost gone, fortunately, the former director of the National Heritage Department creatively invented the initiative of "urgently reporting cultural heritage", so everyone can finally sit in the office and do some work like experts.

After so many years, everyone has accumulated relevant experience.

So as soon as everyone heard what Wu Sehun said, they already knew what to do.

Nuwa and Fuxi? They were characters in the legend of the Goguryeo people, the culture of the Great Cold Netherworld, which was stolen by the despicable Chinese.

Suiren and Shennong were also Goguryeo people. They spread the techniques of fire making and planting to the ignorant ancient Chinese people, but unexpectedly they were mistaken for gods.

As for the feudal society's divine right of kings, they also learned it from the Goguryeo people...

In a word, the cultural heritage of the Great Han Netherworld Kingdom has been stolen for thousands of years. Fortunately, now, with the help of experts like them, it has been paid attention to again.

Of course, the most important thing is two words - apply for world heritage status.

Only by applying for World Heritage status can it become their achievement.

……

Soon the day of the press conference arrived.

Because this is an ancient tomb that was discovered officially, and the domestic economy is a bit bad, we need to divert everyone's attention.

So South Korea is really working hard this time, and funds are being transferred into the account of 500,000.

So much so that people on Jianzhong.net had already started building momentum for the press conference half a month before it was set to take place.

On Zhihu, people ask questions every now and then:

"What do you think of the upcoming Goguryeo cultural conference in South Korea?"

Topics related to the Goguryeo ruins were constantly bought onto the hot search list.

Originally, this kind of question that was just for the sake of creating momentum would not cause any waves. People would just curse Zhihu a few times and that would be it.

But unfortunately, someone happened to be using the toilet in the public place next door in Neon.

The public's attention quickly shifted from across the strait to our neighboring countries to the east.

As countries in East Asia that are both disgusting to the Chinese people, it is natural that issues related to the Great Cold Netherworld were brought together for discussion.

In addition, several Zhihu big Vs gave some popular science information about the theft of the murals in the Ji'an ancient tomb. Any normal person would be angry after reading this.

All of a sudden, several related answers were pushed to the top of the list.

A considerable number of people expressed their desire to see what this press conference was all about.

According to conservative estimates, on the day of the press conference, at least tens of thousands of Chinese people, using IP addresses from Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan, watched the live broadcast.

At the same time, some people are broadcasting on Fangfang, Dousha, and Douyin.

Among so many spectators, there are of course several key members of the Fun Alliance, such as Zhang Yang and Li Zi who have just been absorbed as peripheral members.
