Chapter 118: Oracle
The words carved around these days, that is, the inscriptions in Li Qiao's mouth, are really like paintings in Chang Fa's eyes.
He couldn't see what he was describing.
These characters are not Western scripts, nor are they alphabetical combinations.
Chang Fa's knowledge of Chinese is not needed, and he can also recognize traditional Chinese characters, in addition, he can also know English, German, and watch some movies to know a little Japanese.
On the whole, the knowledge of language and writing is relatively rich.
But Chang Fa is not archaeological in the end, so he does not understand ancient writing.
And what is depicted on this wall is ancient writing, and I often think it should be hieroglyphics.
After all, the hieroglyphs are the same as the paintings, and they are still slightly easier to identify, if it is a big seal, a seal or something, Changfa is absolutely not sure.
Li faked these inscriptions he had seen, and Chang Fa and the fat man immediately twisted their heads in his direction.
The fat man said: "Young Master Li, are these words recorded in how to take out the treasures here, and there are many institutions here?"
The fat man is illiterate, so he can't tell the reason when he sees these ghost-drawn characters, so he doesn't ask the place.
However, Chang Fake was clearer, and he asked calmly: "Young Master Li, what era are these words and what are they recorded?"
Chang Fa felt that it was almost impossible for these words to record how to take away the treasures here, and he could figure out with his feet that someone would tell future generations how to take away the contents after building a nine-story divine pagoda.
If so, what is the point of building this pagoda in the first place?
Sure enough, Li Jiao also thought so, he didn't pay attention to the fat man at all, but answered Dao Changfa's question.
"This text should be a bone inscription, and there are also so-called scholars who are oracle bone inscriptions, which were originally found to be engraved on turtle shells, and recorded things from the Yin Shang period. ”
Li is sure to be authentic.
Often his eyelids jumped, of course he knew the oracle, in fact, everyone who has received nine years of compulsory education basically knows what oracle is.
And the birthplace of the largest oracle bone inscription in China is in Anyang City, which is not far from Changfa's hometown, and Changfa in his previous life also went there to play.
The oracle bone inscriptions of Anyang City are mainly found in several villages near the northwest of Anyang City, that is, the Yin ruins of the people.
Yinxu is now an open attraction, and the main things in it are the pits where the oracle bone inscriptions were found, as well as all kinds of things from the Yin Shang era.
But what surprised Chang Fa the most was not that he had visited the birthplace of the oracle bone inscription, but that the oracle bone inscription was studied to be written between 1300 and 1000 BC.
Chang Fa has read the oracle bone inscriptions, and basically will not recognize these characters, unless they have studied them carefully.
But if Chang Fa understands the culture of the Yin Shang period, he will know very well that it is impossible for people at that time to build such a magnificent underground tower.
Even if the mural is exaggerated, it is impossible.
The most critical point is that the ancient Chinese culture during the Yin Shang period was mainly concentrated in the Yellow River Valley.
In fact, most of the ancient cultures originated in ancient waters, ancient China originated in the Yellow River Basin, and ancient India originated in the Indus River and Ganges River basins, because the ancient people were backward in science and technology, and the water was mainly used by river water.
At that time, there was only a lot of ancient Chinese culture, which was not enough compared to the current provinces and regions.
But this place is in Changbai Mountain!
Although Chang Fa took the teleportation array and appeared here directly at that time, this place was still in Changbai Mountain, which can be verified in the words of Li Fake and Zhang Yancheng.
In this case, the Chinese civilization at that time was not only in the Yellow River Valley, but also in the Changbai Mountains.
And the level of productivity here is not low, at least enough to supply a lot of people digging here without starving.
This productive force, which supplied a group of people to dig mountains without starving to death, may sound funny, but it was exactly what it was in ancient societies.
The productivity of ancient people was low, and this productivity was reflected in all aspects.
Nowadays, every household has access to electricity, most areas are connected to the Internet, and television is available in almost every household, which is a clear change in productivity.
And this productivity is very high, enough to provide people with all aspects of enjoyment after daily food and clothing.
But for the ancient people, they could never do this, not because they didn't have that technology, but even if they had technology, they couldn't meet the conditions.
Take electricity, with the productivity of Gurao, even if they have a generator, they need countless firewood to boil water and then generate electricity, which is a huge consumption that they dare not imagine.
For the ancients, firewood is a very important resource, because with firewood they can eat, as for drinking water, drinking hot water is actually a more luxurious thing.
And not everyone could eat enough, and food production was very low at that time.
It's not too far, often in his previous life, he often heard some older generations chatter, what when they were young, one acre of wheat could produce more than 100 catties, and the family planted more than a dozen acres of land, and the rest of the grain was just enough to eat.
The old people who often hear complaints are also grown up under the red flag, and have not yet experienced the days of a real year of labor and not having enough to eat.
Now the grain yield is high, mainly because of the existence of chemical fertilizers and relatively mature breeding technology, which has successfully increased the yield per mu of wheat by several times or even more than ten times, so it can be supplied to most people to eat and waste at will.
But no matter what, the Yin Shang period would never be able to achieve this level of production, and it was unbelievable that they raised a group of people to come to this Changbai Mountain, dig such a huge underground hole, and then build a nine-story divine tower.
However, Chang Fa thought about it carefully, although these characters are oracle bone inscriptions, they do not appear on the oracle bones, so it is not certain whether they are from the Yin Shang period.
If it was copied by later generations and engraved on this, wouldn't it be possible?
So the most important thing is what is written on it, Chang Fa looked at Li Fake again.
After Li Fa came out that these were oracle bone inscriptions, he had been staring at them, but Chang Fa could clearly see from his expression that Li Fa didn't understand much about it.
Because Li Jiao kept frowning, the more he looked at it, the deeper the frown wrinkled.
"What's written on this?" Chang Fa asked again.
Li Fake shook his head: "I'm not too proficient in this, we have to hurry up and find them, among the three of them, Bian Dan knows these best." ”
