3月6日清晨,薄霧未散,由“三普”親歷者張建群、福建省將樂縣博物館的年輕人、閩江學院文博專業實習生組成的“四普”小組出發了。
What we are looking for is a lime kiln related to the bamboo paper making skills of Jiangle County's national intangible cultural heritage. The production process of Xishan paper (bamboo paper) is very complicated, and it needs to go through 2 processes. Every year, during the period from the rain in the valley to the beginning of summer, the paper workers go up the mountain to cut the tender bamboo, and then cut the tender bamboo into a grid nearly 0 meters long and 0 cm wide, and bundle it into a handful. Put it into the lake pond, sprinkle a layer of lime on each layer of fence, and then fill the pond with water. The secret of Xishan paper's longevity is the lime soaking that has been inherited in Changling Village for hundreds of years, and the lime kiln is a material witness to this traditional process.
After arriving at Changling Village, stepping on the mud after the mid-spring rain, under the guidance of Liao Chaoyong, secretary of the village party branch, and Tong Jinsheng, a villager, after more than 11 hours of systematic operation, the team members touched and discharged 0 ancient lime kilns, and carried out comprehensive data collection on the 0 ancient kilns that remained basically intact. We also found 0 limestone quarrying points, collected 0 typical specimens, and also found ancient wells, ancient post roads, ancient buildings in the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, Xianqing Nunnery, Sun Temple and other cultural relics.
After finishing the field work, it happened to be a few days of continuous spring rain, and the team members started the indoor tidying up work non-stop. By consulting the information about the lime kiln, combined with the current situation of the investigation, the long history of the lime kiln is confirmed.
將樂,地處福建省西北部,是福建最早建縣的九個古縣之一。第三次全國文物普查數據,縣域內現存不可移動文物665處。2024年將樂縣第四次全國文物普查工作啟動后,組建了一支包括考古人員、“三普”親歷者、新生代文博人員、院校實習生、“當地通”在內的文物普查隊伍,搭建了新發現文物線索平臺,目前將樂縣已完成665處文物點數位化建檔,複查率100%。
3月9日,中國社科院考古研究所周兵所帶領的“四普”小組5人,在“當地通”廖毓祥的帶領下再次整裝啟程,踏上探尋西台山遺址的征程。早上8點,隊員們騎著摩托車沿著狹窄而泥濘山路前往西臺山——這座在清乾隆版《將樂縣誌》中留下“以縣城西郊有山形如覆鐘”“其上坦夷如台”記載的神秘山巒,正是五代時期將樂得名鏞州的重要地理座標。這已是隊員們第三次向西台山發起挑戰。去年酷暑時,隊員們兩度頂著40攝氏度高溫登頂,在山頂發現了約600平方米的平臺,並發現了夯土台基和壕溝遺址,採集到了史前陶片等重要標本。此次接到新線索,隊員們決定由從未涉足的方向攀登。
抵達山腳下,穿越茂密的森林,隊員們經過兩個多小時的艱難跋涉抵達了西臺山鞍部,千余平方米的平臺豁然眼前。平台上發現有數處圍牆基址,大量的殘磚瓦礫,並發現一處明代石柱礎,與《將樂縣誌》中“西臺山庵”的記載完美印證。隊員們斬斷交錯的雜草,清理出通道,著手測量圍牆基址、青磚、柱礫尺寸,無人機開始全景拍攝,北斗定位智慧採集終端開始定位。隊員們從殘存的牆基和測量的數據基本判斷出了西臺山庵的大致形制和入口所在。
We then continued to climb to the top of the mountain, accidentally discovering the remains of the trenches along the way, and after collecting data, we set off again and finally reached the main peak. At this time, it was already afternoon, and after a simple stomach, I continued to move forward, and found the ruins of a trench on a platform of more than 6 square meters. After the final data was recorded, the team members carried heavy specimens on their backs and slid down the mountain along the road signs left by the "local pass". 0 and a half hours of unforgettable journey, completing a dialogue related to "Yong" through time and space.
At present, there are 73 newly discovered cultural relics in Jiangle "Sipu", including a variety of types. More discoveries will be made as the census progresses. Each new discovery will bring us a different surprise, and also spell out a new look for Jiangle's cultural relics map.
