Chapter 910: Oracle?
After Su Huai's story was finished, everyone in the Huaxia Federation of Literary and Art Circles smiled slightly, this story is obviously ironic, the three examples picked out by Fermat just now are all like the explanation of "dove", it is purely hard~~
Fermat was suddenly shocked and angry in his heart, and was surprised that Su Huai casually told a story, which contained a very deep discussion of many Chinese characters and pictograms, and was angry that this kid pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, and was not afraid of him at all, the director of the United Nations.
Isn't he going to give in and negotiate with Sotheby's about Chinese cultural relics? It would be no good for anyone to tear their faces apart......
Thinking of this, Fermat couldn't help but look at Su Huai angrily, and said coldly:
"Mr. Su, you're done with the story, what do you want to say?"
Su Huai said with a smile: "What I want to say is very simple, that is, why did Su Shi use this book to make fun of Wang Anshi? It is because Wang Anshi made the same mistake as the beginning of the article and Fei Consultant, and used the regular script glyphs that appeared in history and were finalized late to explain the original meaning of Chinese characters......
Fermat just wanted to argue, but he heard Su Huai explain:
"In the process of evolution, Chinese characters have gone through three stages: pictographic, linear, and stroke-like, and the earliest systematic Chinese characters we see now are the evolution of oracle bone inscriptions and Jin inscriptions, and the pictographic degree of Jin inscriptions is higher than that of oracle bone inscriptions.
The oracle bone inscription, the golden inscription, and the Zhou inscription are called the Great Seal. After Qin Shi Huang unified China, he transformed the big seal into a small seal, and the low-level officials simplified it when writing the small seal to form a official script. Lishu has evolved into three fonts in use: cursive, line, and Kai. The standard of regular script was not established until the Tang Dynasty, and it was the latest of the five fonts. The people of the Han Dynasty used seal script as the basis to interpret the meaning of the words, and there are still many errors, not to mention that your team uses regular script as a blueprint......"
All of a sudden, the contempt and ridicule on Fermat's face disappeared completely, replaced by a kind of vigilance and surprise.
What's going on?
How does this Su Huai know about Jin Wen, Zhou Wen, these proper nouns?
Among the cultural relics unearthed from the Ming Tomb, there should be no relevant records, right?
Moreover, there are some records in the cultural relics of the Sotheby's Group, but what is this oracle bone inscription?
Fermat hadn't heard of it, could it be that Su Huai was a fictitious ......?
No way...... Since Su Huai can say Jin Wen and Zhou Wen, it proves that he is by no means talking nonsense.
Fermat was curious, and asked in a deep voice, "Then please ask Mr. Su to explain." ”
Su Huai drew two very peculiar text symbols on the table, as if they were the evolution of a text, and then wrote the words "ox" and "half" at the end, and explained to them:
"You see, this is the 'ox' and 'half' of the earliest oracle bone inscriptions.
The word "half" is from eight from the cow, and "eight" is the meaning of points, such as the word "points", from the eight from the knife, that is, a knife divides things into two halves.
So the word "half" from the cow. It is difficult to see the original character theory of these ancient characters after the scientific evolution of lines and strokes, and such characters cannot be analyzed from the current glyphs alone......"
Su Huai said that it was actually extremely obscure, but according to the evolution of the oracle bone characters he drawn, the Jin script, and the Zhou script, everyone present could easily see the original origin of the words 'cow' and 'half'.
Fermat looked at the two deans of Harvard's School of History, both of whom were shocked and eager to put them together on paper.
Su Huai continued to draw those peculiar symbols and explained:
"The situation of the character 'Fang' is similar to that of 'cow' and 'half', which are the differences caused by the evolution of ancient and modern glyphs.
The Jiawen of the word "Fang" is like a plow, and Xu Zhongshu's "Jin Wen Xulin" believes that the training should be the "坺 (垡)" of "a piece of soil is called a mountain", that is, the meaning of cultivated land turning over the soil.
For example, Tang Hanyu's "Sending Wen Changshi to the North": After repaying the favor for the rest of the period, Xie was sick and old.
As for its later meaning of square and direction, it is because of the homonym.
The evolution process of "circle" is slightly complicated, the original shape of "○" means round, and later added a tripod shape below it, because the vast majority of tripods are round, which means the circle of the tripod mouth, and then the "tripod" shape is classified into the "shell" shape, that is, the current "member", and then later added a "囗" above the word "member", which becomes the current "circle" ......"
Su Huai's explanation, citing classics, "Jin Wen Xulin" and "Sending Wen Changshi to the North" are not the information in the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, Chairman Fan and the Huaxia Federation of Literary and Art Circles secretly screamed in their hearts.
Now it's an official dictionary, but you can't use folk sources to quote it!?
If Fermat asks questions, how will this end?
Chairman Fan and the others all looked at Fermat, but found that Fermat not only did not seize the opportunity to make things difficult, but his eyes showed a look of shock, as if he had heard something incredible.
Not only Chairman Fan and others, but even Director Fan Longpei was very puzzled, how could Fermat react like this?
But immediately, they thought of a possibility! That is, the "Jin Wen Xulin" mentioned by Su Huai is probably recorded in Sotheby's cultural relics!
That's why Fermat was so surprised!
Su Huai continued, drawing an oracle bone inscription and explaining:
"The word 'out' is from the end of the word, 'stop' is like the shape of the foot, its original meaning is the foot;
In the early days of human beings, the crypt was dwelled, and this '凵' is likely to be the cave where they lived, and the foot shape of 'stop' was facing outward, so 'out' was like the shape of coming out of the cave, and after the subordination, it was classified into a glyph of two mountains overlapping each other.
The early glyph of "heavy" is from the east, and "east" is like a squirt, which is a big pocket tied up at both ends, so the word "heavy" is like the shape of a person carrying weight, and the meaning is heavy.
Later, the vertical stroke of "東" and the vertical stroke of the "person" character indicating the leg were combined, and then two horizontal lines were added at the bottom, either for the decorative pen or for the envy stroke, which had nothing to do with the meaning of the word.
The word 'heavy' to the small seal can not see the so-called 'thousands of miles', the North Korean information is according to the small seal glyph to analyze it as 'from the sound of the east of the people', although it is not correct, it is still reliable.
The so-called 'thousands of miles' is also a product of the classification of subordination and change......"
After Su Huai finished explaining, he also sighed in his heart, fortunately, he can't do other ancient Chinese characters, but this oracle bone inscription is a compulsory course, he has learned the textbook, and now he can use it.
He didn't notice that Fermat's expression had completely changed when he looked at him, not only Fermat, but also Van Rompei and other directors.
Because, everybody is thinking about the same thing.
Su Huai can master these knowledge that he should not have, is it that a new ancient imperial tomb has been excavated in China, and ...... ancient precious cultural relics that even the Sotheby's Group has not mastered?
Could it be that this world is about to usher in a new round of Chinese culture......
