After broadcasting the ancient times live, I handed the system over to the state.

Besides these, some people are also obsessed with opening blind boxes and painting plaster statues.

Especially the blind box opening activity, which takes place on the dinosaur side. Inside the thick plaster is a small dinosaur keychain and instruction manual. Some people carefully scrape the plaster, while others brush it like an archaeologist, experiencing the fun of archaeology while opening a blind box.

Zhao Bing had already dug up two, and now he was talking to Lu Xiufu with great curiosity, "Tyrannosaurus Rex, it's Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

There's also a little note attached here with some information—

Tyrannosaurus Rex lived in North America 6800-6600 million years ago and was one of the last dinosaurs to go extinct. It was over ten meters long and weighed several tons!

With short forelimbs, strong hind limbs, a highly developed sense of smell, and an incredibly powerful bite, it ranks first among land animals...

A few short sentences of introduction are enough to make people fall in love with Tyrannosaurus Rex, this dinosaur.

The first two dinosaurs Zhao Bing dug up were relatively small and docile herbivorous dinosaurs. Interestingly, if you put a Tyrannosaurus Rex pendant next to a herbivorous dinosaur pendant, the Tyrannosaurus Rex will immediately open its mouth and bite it, and then the herbivorous dinosaur pendant will struggle.

Zhao Bing probably thought of those ferocious Mongols who, seeing herbivorous dinosaurs struggling, would inevitably harm their own kind, so they preferred to dig up Tyrannosaurus Rex and devour the herbivorous dinosaurs in one gulp.

Later, he also played some games, but he didn't really like them. He did really enjoy playing on the trampoline and slide.

……

In the afternoon, with only twenty minutes left before class started, people began to return and get some tea to drink in order to wake themselves up.

Some people looked excited, some looked pale, and some were chatting and joking with each other.

Various differences exist.

Zhu Qinggu also followed the group to take a look. A lot of the footage in the sky was taken from their bodies, especially the giant swing and the pirate ship. Many people came down with pale faces.

Where else would you see these gentlemen looking so disheveled? People under the canopy laughed and joked.

As the time drew closer, the classroom filled up with more people, but everyone sat in their original seats from the morning.

Zhu Qinggu was still in the last row.

The back row is by the window, Wang’s hometown.

The king guards the four corners of the classroom.

In the corner of the classroom, the king's territory.

On either side of the podium, the king's cemetery.

……

But of course, no one would dare to be late.

Zhu Qinggu used to always sit in the middle, and the back seats were usually not available for them to fight over. Now she was experiencing the wonderful feeling of sitting in the back again.

It can see the movements of everyone in front of it.

When the time came, Mao Hexuan went on stage and gave his opening remarks, introducing a professor named Lu Rao, who looked very mature and composed.

Lu Rao's topic is the impact of the relationship between the Song and Xia dynasties on the Song Dynasty's economy.

This is quite a topic, and I wonder how Professor Lu will elaborate on it?

A country's economic situation is naturally influenced by many factors, and external factors also play a significant role, especially for the Song Dynasty, a unique non-unified country.

The relationships between the Song and Liao dynasties and between the Song and Xia dynasties are both topics worth discussing.

Moreover, at that time, there was a three-way balance of power, and the triangle was relatively stable. Neither the relationship between Song and Xia nor the relationship between Song and Liao was particularly easy to handle.

Lu Rao is a veteran lecturer, and this lesson was carefully designed. His opening remarks immediately drew everyone's attention.

Some of the people below slowed down their note-taking.

"...After Emperor Taizong of Song, the Western Xia issue has always been one of the important factors affecting the Song Dynasty's diplomacy and domestic affairs. Especially after Li Yuanhao became emperor, the Song Dynasty made continuous adjustments in military matters in order to guard against the Western Xia."

"Military strength has increased, but it has also brought more financial pressure to the central government. This pressure, in turn, affects the Song Dynasty's economic policies, causing them to waver and exacerbating conflicts and contradictions between the people and officials."

"Internal conflicts of interest among officials, businessmen and the public are becoming more complex, while external conflicts are also ongoing."

"The Western Xia also influenced the Song Dynasty's policy towards the Liao Dynasty. In short, studying the Western Xia issue helps us understand the economic, political, and cultural changes in the Song Dynasty during this period."

"Of course, we are mainly talking about the economy here."

"The changes in salt laws, tea laws, currency, and foreign trade caused by excessive fiscal pressure are all things we need to study."

Lu Rao stood in front of the podium. He had a Mediterranean hairstyle and wore glasses, giving him the air of a scholar. There was nothing particularly special about him, including his lectures, which were usually very flat, but he spoke in a gentle and persuasive manner, captivating everyone's attention without them even realizing it.

He released a map and began to discuss the origins of the Western Xia dynasty.

First, it was mentioned how modern people began to study the Western Xia. Initially, there were very few records of the study of the Western Xia. They were mostly recorded in the "History of Song" or the "History of Liao". In addition, there were some privately compiled books.

The Western Xia language was lost after the fall of the Western Xia dynasty.

It is worth mentioning here that a Russian explorer discovered a large number of Western Xia artifacts in the Blackwater City of Western Xia, which led to a major breakthrough in the study of Western Xia. Unfortunately, many of the Western Xia artifacts are kept in Russian museums, and the Chinese people have been unable to bring them back for a long time.

It was only after extensive comparison that some Chinese scholars compiled and published the Chinese-Thai Xia bilingual dictionary "Fan Han He Shi Zhang Zhong Zhu" unearthed from the Khara-Khoto site.

This led to a deeper understanding of the Western Xia Dynasty by scholars. Later, Western Xia artifacts were unearthed at the Dunhuang site, and these archaeological discoveries also contributed to the study of the Western Xia Dynasty.

When Lu Rao spoke of how most of the artifacts from the Western Xia Dynasty were sealed and collected by the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg, he felt somewhat helpless and indignant.

Many people under the sky also thought of the many treasures of China that were looted by bandits during times of war.

Zhu Di recalled seeing a comment from a later generation saying that the sword he gifted to the Living Buddha was hidden in a museum in another country, which reminded him of that humiliating period of history.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but curse those Manchu barbarians, calling them all useless!

The crowd jostled each other, wishing they could bring those artifacts back. These foreigners had no idea how to cherish their things.

After discussing the current state of research on the history of the Western Xia Dynasty in China, Lu Rao began to talk about the origins of the Western Xia.

"The main body of the Western Xia people was the Tangut people, whose origins can be traced back to the Sui Dynasty. They were formed through a long period of integration between the Qiang and Xianbei peoples..."
