195 1 At the beginning of this year, the Culture and Education Department of the Southwest Military and Political Commission planned to establish the Southwest Museum in Chongqing (based on the former China Western Science Museum). Xu Zhongshu, Feng and Deng Shaoqin were specially invited as members of the Military, Political, Cultural and Educational Committee and transferred to Chongqing to build the Southwest Museum.

Mr. Xu and Mr. Feng are recommended as the director and deputy director (later the president and vice president) of the Secretariat of the Preparatory Committee, and Mr. Deng Shaoqin is recommended as the secretary who presides over the daily work.

1In the autumn of 952, Mr. Wang went to Huishui, Anshun and other ethnic minority areas in Guiyang for investigation, and collected cultural relics of southwest ethnic minorities for the museum. After returning to Chongqing, he wrote "Investigation Report on Guizhou Cultural Relics" and "Interview with Yao People in Gao Bai, Guizhou". The following year, he went to Sichuan to collect Yunnan minority cultural relics. Today, Chongqing Museum has a large number of southwest minority cultural relics, which were laid by Mr. Wang.
Shortly after the establishment of the hospital, Mr. Wang learned that the original Baxian archives were hidden in a farmer's house in Tuqiao, Chongqing. Because of the poor conditions, the archives were moldy and moth-eaten. Mr. Wang immediately sent people to transport them all back, up to seven trucks. The examination and approval files of transportation administration from the 23rd year of Qianlong to the eve of the Anti-Japanese War are precious local historical materials in Chongqing. After being shipped back, Mr. Wang organized manpower to sort out and catalogue according to the age. Finally, all of them were handed over to the newly established Sichuan Provincial Archives.

During the Cultural Revolution, Mr. Deng Shaoqin was doomed and criticized as a reactionary academic authority. Mr. Deng, on the other hand, took it in stride and remained the same, studying, researching and writing at home, sleepless. Until 1972, the famous American columnist alsop visited China and came to Chongqing. At the same time, he was liberated.
1973, Mr. Wang is 77 years old. In order to make a comparative study of hanging coffin burial in Sichuan and Baiyue, he went to Linhai, Zhejiang and Wuyi, Fujian for archaeological investigation at his own expense. He does research during the day and arranges notes in the hotel at night. The notes he took were small and meticulous. After returning to Chongqing, Mr. Wang wrote and published articles such as Baiyue Hanging Coffin Burial and Baipuya Burial, Wuyi Rock Coffin Burial Investigation, and Southwest Rock Coffin Burial System. This is the first on-the-spot investigation on the subject of hanging coffin burial in Baiyue area after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it was carried out at its own expense during the Cultural Revolution, which caused great repercussions in academic circles.
In 1950s and 1970s, a large number of Bashu cultural relics were unearthed in Sichuan, and Mr. Wang's research on Bashu history was even more fruitful. Based on the study of Bashu tombs in Dongsunba, Ba County and Baolunyuan, Zhao Hua, it is considered that Dongsunba is a new city where Ba people "set up a city on the north bank of Dianting", and Zhao Hua has become a prosperous place in ancient times, that is, the knot where "waiting" for fiefs is located. In addition, Mr. Wang also pointed out that Ba people have a special culture, and Bashu symbols are similar to Dongba characters. 1972, a set of bronze chimes was unearthed in the tomb of Wang, Xiba, Xiaotian, Fuling.

Mr. Wang's research achievements in Bashu history are embodied in the following aspects. In the monographs "Exploration of Bashu Historical Relics" and "Bashu Historical Draft". The former won the second prize of outstanding achievements in social sciences in Sichuan Province from 65438 to 0984.
Mr. Wang has always attached importance to and advocated the study of local history, and compiled the textbook A Brief History of Chongqing in 1950s. At the age of 85, he edited A Brief History and Evolution of Chongqing. Today, Chongqing local chronicles are fruitful, and Mr. Wang has contributed a lot. Mr. Wang also teaches the National Records of Huayang for business people in the library, three times a week for two years.

The following year, Mr. Wang donated the historical materials of Sichuan river shipping collected over the past decades to the traffic journal editorial committee of Sichuan Provincial Communications Department, and edited these historical materials into two volumes of Sichuan Inland River Shipping History, with a total of more than 800,000 words. This has important reference value for today's economic construction and the Three Gorges Project.
After 1984, because Miss Wang was old, she no longer held an administrative position and became an academic consultant. Mr. Wang suffered from prostatitis for a long time and was hospitalized several times. He still keeps writing, keeps writing. The History of Bashu is 300,000 words, which was completed during his hospitalization in 1983. In addition to the method of "accepting the certificate and leveling the certificate", Mr. Wang also pays special attention to handwritten historical materials. Even if there are ready-made books, he should copy the relevant historical materials and write neatly. For decades, the historical materials copied by Mr. Jing have millions of words, which are classified in an orderly way and are still well preserved at home. Mr. Wang was indifferent and simple all his life. He didn't have a fashionable house. The most in the house were books. The desk used is too small, so put a big board on it, as long as you can put more writing words on it.
1990 65438+1October 16. Mr. Deng Shaoqin passed away at the age of 93. When he was seriously ill, he told his family to "keep the funeral simple" and urged his colleagues in the library to "continue to finish the unfinished business". There is nothing else to say.
