  Maintain academic sovereignty and cultural relics

While archeological cooperation with foreign scholars,Ma Heng pays great attention to maintaining my country's academic sovereignty and cultural relics。Ma Heng once said: "Learning this,It turned out to be the world,Is the common person of human beings,I didn't distinguish between the borders。But studying Chinese history,Collect Chinese historical materials,It is a heavenly job that we Chinese deserve,That is the sovereignty。If we all give up regardless of,Let foreign countries no matter what person,Come to our ‘Yue Xun Dai Counseling’,already a shameful thing,As a result, if Chinese historical materials have been emptied,We want to study the people of the country's history,All going to study abroad,Isn't that a joke。I hope everyone will decline others' generations,Do you want to work hard on your own! "(" Archeology and superstition ")

early 1927,Swedish Explorer Sven Heping and the Geological Survey of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce of Beiyang Government Agreement reached an agreement,Make allowed a foreign expedition to go to Xinjiang、Examination of Gansu and other places。After the news came out,Then it caused strong dissatisfaction among Chinese scholars,Counsey Angry,It seems that the historical tragedy of the outflow of cultural relics in Dunhuang two decades ago will repeat itself。In order to prevent foreigners from carrying out archeological excavations and taking antiques specimens,Entering the so -called "academic aggression",Ma Heng actively contacted and moved to Beijing academic circles to resist Sven Heping's inspection plan。Bet365 app download March 5,Call the Peking University Archaeological Society of Peking University Institute、Tsinghua University、History Museum、Antiques Exhibition Center、China Library Association、Jingshi Library、Central Fantastic Terrace、Chinese Astronomical Society、Geology Society and other more than ten important academic groups in Beijing to meet for discussion,Planning and excavation and collection of various domestic academic materials,Oppose foreigners' private entry into China to collect all things。Scholars of the participating scholars formulated six principles for foreigners to conduct investigations and excavations in China,also published a declaration against outsiders' adoption of antiques。The participating groups also organized the establishment of a joint meeting of the Beijing Academic Group,After renamed the Chinese Academic Group Association,In the name of the association, negotiating with the Beiyang government and Sven Heping。During the negotiation process,Ma Heng and Liu Fu、Zhou Zhaoxiang、Yuan Fu Li、Xu Bingyu and others played an important role。After more than ten difficult consultations,Sino -Swisss finally reached the "China Academic Group Association to organize the organizational of the Northwest Scientific Investigation Team and the Swedish State Sri Ding Heping" nineteen ",Decide to form a form of Northwestern China Science Expedition Team,and a signing ceremony at Peking University Student Studies on April 26。This is the first time in modern times that my country is dominated by China,Large -scale scientific survey group composed of cooperation with foreign countries,greatly inspiring the national spirit,Liu Fu said it is "Opening a New Age for my country to Bet A contract with Outsiders",and provide a cooperation contract with foreign inspection teams in the future provided a precedent and model that can be followed。If February 1929,The Central Asian Inspection Troupe organized by the New York Natural History Museum in the United States wants to conduct fifth adventure inspection in Mongolia,Ma Heng and Liu Fu and others are based on the spirit of the 19 agreement,Proposed a draft agreement,Negotiations with the representative of the delegation Andrews。Due to the opinions of the repeated specimens and belonging of the two parties in the collection of the collection,As a result, the negotiation ruptured。After the United States request,Restart again for negotiations,Eventually the two parties reached an agreement with the group of inspection teams,Signing an agreement with Ma Heng and Andrews in the Peiping Group。

other,Ma Heng and other scholars and the United bet365 Play online games States、Japan and other academic circles actively carry out China -Foreign Exchange and Cooperation。such as spring 1925,Wallner led the Harvard University Fog Art Museum to come to China,To inspect the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, Gansu,and plan to establish a cooperative relationship with Peking University。Wallner invites Peking University Students to participate in the inspection activities,Preliminary attempts as a cooperation between the two universities。Introduction to Bingfa Kaisen,Chen Wanli, who was selected by Ma Heng and Shen Ji Shi Shi, participated in the US Investigation Team,Go to Dunhuang to inspect,and take this opportunity to protect cultural relics。
