Mercury is interviewed by CCTV [News Weekly]

Archeology is definitely not a grave robbing grave robber

Mercury is a PhD in archeology at Zhejiang University. The research direction is exhibition planning and public archeology.

Many people think that archeology is the ancient tomb, which is not suitable for girls, but for her since she was a child, she can talk to the museum with the cultural relics of the museum. This kind of time and space feels very charming.

At first, her motivation to make a short video was to find that tourists had a lot of misunderstandings in the museum. Even some netizens commented that archeology and grave robbing are the differences between evidence and no certificate, which makes Mercury realize that popular science archeology is necessary.

"One visit to the Zhejiang Provincial Museum, a colorful Fengmingqi Guqin was stretched out. A child's mother told him that this was called the harp. At that time, I felt that everyone visited the museum. To tell you about the historical and human knowledge of each place. "

Raise a powder of 300,000 a day! The video is hot

The earliest content of Mercury's "out of the circle" was a video of "Ancient Egypt's Wheelle" female Pharaoh Naphtti. The first phase of the playback volume exceeded one million, which greatly increased Mercury's confidence.

Fans' love, the affirmation of Douyin platform, and the favor of advertisers, let her persist. After repeated exploration, Mercury finally mastered the secret of the explosive model.

"Use interesting storylines or suspense to attract the attention of netizens, and then slowly talk about a deeper point of view."

She filmed the popular science video like "Detective Drama". The first video "Tomb Anti -theft Teaching Book" tells the story of a tomb owner and the grave robbers fighting wisdom. "More than 300,000.

Unconsciously, it has come to this day. The overall volume of the "Mercury's Museum" Douyin account exceeded 600 million times, and the upper fans increased by more than 300,000.

Doing videos is not to do academics

At the beginning, the female doctor also wanted to give up several times.

In September 2020, Mercury initially tried to make archeological science videos on Douyin. To make a video, she took out the rigor of academic research.

In just a few minutes, check books and papers, and write a copy for two or three days. Shooting is often not successful at once.

She said: "Although Mercury has water in the name, it is the most dry among all planets. There is no drop of water a planet. Naming Mercury for your account, I also want to tell you that my video is full of dry goods. There is no water without water. There is no water without water. ","

But at the beginning, the carefully made videos did not stir up much water on the Internet. In addition, the pressure of doctoral research was high, which made Mercury want to give up video creation several times.

Afterwards, I reflected: "At first, I did not choose the topic that made the audience interested. I only cared about the beautiful rhetoric, but I did not tell a good story."

"Three Exploring Yintong Tomb"

The rigor and rationality of academics also means not to be grounded to some extent. The popular science videos on Douyin must facilitate public understanding. At the same time, how can two sets of logic open up?

"Qinling in the north and Yin Mountain in the south" is the archaeological field. This is a topic selected by Mercury. In order to make the video more attractive, she made the opening similar to suspense films:

In 1990, Houshan, a forest farm in Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, accidentally discovered artificially rammed soil. At the beginning, the cultural relics department did not care. One year later, there were three bottomless stolen holes appeared on the mountain.

These stolen holes are unusual, instead of soil, but green paste and charcoal -a large viscosity, water will not seep water after use, a anti -water -resistant and humidity, can keep the cemetery dry.

In ancient times, only the emperor level can be used to use these two materials.

Subsequently, rigorous scientific data, such as 10 floors in the inside of the mausoleum, filled with 8 meters thick green paste mud and 1800 tons of charcoal. In the room, in order to resist water and water, 140 layers of bark were also posted. This tomb was identified by archeologists and was the tomb of Gou Jian's father.

There are 890,000 people like this issue. In fact, it is a re -issued work after the modification, and the original manuscript is unsuccessful.

For this video, Mercury went to Shaoxing three times. For the first time, Mercury first went to Yingshan Tomb to inspect to understand the history of the emperor's tomb.

For the second time, she took the equipment and filmed the video. After returning, she stayed up late at night, but because she had no experience, the picture quality was not ideal. Mercury went for the third time, changed the equipment, and wrote the copy in advance.

After the first version of the video is sent, the playback data is very low. Mercury took this video temporarily, re -analyzed the problem, and modified the copy. In order to ensure accuracy, before making videos, she often consists of books, papers, and multiple materials. A three -minute video, the time -seeking data and writing copy are three days.

"It is not attractive enough to start. Can I make everyone more likely? Can I tell the audience a story first? Specific people and stories will make it easier to understand."

Good at returning to help Mercury, she explored a methodology of storytelling, so there was such an opening to lead the audience.

After this video was sent again, it quickly rushed to the Douyin hot list.

Now, the Mercury Museum Journey is not restricted to archeology and history. In October 2021, she published works on Hangzhou Black Museum.

In the exhibition hall, Mercury experience plays a mental patient, and she has experienced all the experience equipment displayed in the exhibition hall. The bed full of needles, twisted toilets, and constantly sounding calls. After repeated weighing, Mercury sent out the work, and she did not expect to get 1.36 million likes.

In the comments, a message from a netizen impressed her: she had been resting for two years because of depression, but she was open -minded with her family and friends after treatment.

There are many messages thanked Mercury for their feelings.

These words made her see the value of her work and the understanding and hope brought to the public. If academics are a lonely journey, then making short videos, let this doctoral student sitting on a cold bench can interact with many life.
