Let's start with museology and archaeology. In the current Chinese colleges and universities, basically the museum of archaeology are located in the Department of Archaeology. Archaeology has a relatively long history, what we call archaeology in the narrow sense, mainly field archaeology, to put it bluntly is to go to the field to excavate, and then the relics of the study of a discipline, the object of study in addition to cultural relics ontology also includes field relics were found when a variety of information, the content of the study is not just like some treasure appreciation program that said that cultural relics of the age of craft characteristics, but to study the ancient society through cultural relics, but also the cultural relics. Rather, it is necessary to study the development of ancient society and mankind through cultural relics. Archaeology in the broad sense of the term also includes scientific and technological archaeology and so on.

? Museology focuses on the study of museums on the display of exhibits, the design of exhibitions, the protection of collections and research, that is, how to make everyone better from the exhibits to learn things, rather than just to meet the curiosity of the mind, in this aspect of China's museology started late, a lot of theories are immature, not enough to highlight the museum's educational role. Museums in addition to the Museum of History and Heritage, there are natural science and technology museums, etc., the object of study is not limited to cultural relics.
