What does it mean to edit a dictionary?

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is the most authoritative official to define the meaning of Chinese characters and explain the origin of each Chinese character.

What is the pronunciation, pictograms, and ancient customs to speculate, there are many doorways, and there is also a lot of learning, generally speaking, it takes a scholar with decades of experience to be qualified to participate.

And this work, such as the previous "New Dictionary", although it is ostensibly co-edited by this article, but in fact, insiders know that a large part is led by Sotheby's consultants.

Why?

Because after the catastrophe, the Sotheby's Group looted the world's largest number of Chinese cultural relics, most of which were not made public, and only the core people within them knew the contents.

Many of them, such as hieroglyphs and oracle bone inscriptions, are the origins of the evolution of these Chinese characters, which only Sotheby's experts know.

It can be said that they are the ones who define the words of this world.

The excavation of the Ming Tomb broke the monopoly of this knowledge, and the Huaxia Federation of Literary and Art Circles also had the capital to lead the recompilation of the official dictionary.

You know, the competition for the right to compile and name the official Chinese character dictionary has great symbolic significance, no matter where in the world, no matter the level of education, as long as you learn Chinese, the official language of the United Nations, then you must have an official dictionary.

If the name of this dictionary is "Huaxia Dictionary", it means that the source of the world's words is Huaxia, and the strength of this cultural transmission is much greater than any advertising and movie!

Su Huai didn't expect that his Confucian debate would lead to such a major event, he didn't expect the meaning behind this incident at all, but Chairman Fan keenly seized this opportunity.

This made him sigh again...... The fox is still old and slippery...

"Just now, Director Fei questioned the professionalism of our Huaxia Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and it can't catch up with your Sotheby's advisory team. Chairman Fan folded his fingers and said slowly:

"Now, let's invite Mr. Su as the editor-in-chief, I think the authority should be enough, right?"

Su Huai finally understood why he was brought here...... Chairman Fan is going to borrow his fame to do this~

But in fact, where did he have the time to make up a big dictionary, this kind of brain-wrenching thing just made him come forward and gag the other party's mouth.

Just look at the dean of the Harvard School of History and chuckle:

"This recompilation of the official dictionary relies on the level of historical research on ancient Chinese characters, not a fame, although Mr. Su's literary talent is unparalleled in the world, and he can barely be regarded as a scholar of ancient characters, but after all, he is a layman of ancient characters, I think even if he comes to be the editor-in-chief, the strength of your Huaxia Federation of Literary and Art Circles is not enough. ”

Fermat slapped it on the table and said:

"That's right, although the excavation of the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum has allowed you to restore a lot of ancient Chinese documents, but the level of restoration of documents and ancient literature research are two different things, according to reason, you should hand over these cultural relics to the United Nations Cultural Bureau as soon as possible, and the Cultural Bureau under our United Nations Council will reorganize and revise the dictionary, how can you do this with your National Federation of Literary and Art Circles?"

In the face of the opposition of the two members of the joint council, Chairman Fan was prepared, and he gently tapped the table with his hand:

"I am not convinced, I specially called Mr. Su and our philologists of the Huaxia Federation of Literary and Art Circles today, and I also hope that several directors of the Cultural Bureau can give us a chance to see if the level of our Huaxia Federation of Literary and Art Circles is not enough to undertake this heavy responsibility. ”

Su Huai thought to himself, I'll ...... Fan Lao Fox put a high hat on him, where does he know what kind of paleography he has......

I haven't read the relevant information, Lao Fan, you let me go, isn't this embarrassing for me......

You must know that in order to compile a large dictionary of Chinese characters, at least "Tang Rhyme", "Guang Rhyme", "Ji Rhyme", "Ancient and Modern Rhyme", "Hongwu Zhengyun" and other books are used as basic knowledge reserves......

And this kind of boring information book, he Su Huai heard the name when he was in school, but he didn't read two pages at all, if someone else took a few questions on the spot, I was afraid that it would really stump him...... He, the Su Sage, will lose face.

At this time, Gu, Bai, and Wan, the three professors of the Huaxia Federation of Literary and Art Circles, who had not spoken, said:

"In the past few years, Mr. Su has been doing the big thing of compiling Chinese character dictionaries. ”

"Yes, day and night...... Fruitful results!"

Su Huai stared at the three of them with wide eyes, thinking: Is it...... I don't even know about it!?

"Really, where is the result?" asked Fermat in a deep voice.

At this time, looking at Chairman Fan's eyes, Gu, Bai, and Wan took out a few volumes of well-printed thick dictionaries and put them on the conference table with a "bang".

"This is the first draft of the Great Dictionary of Huaxia that we have redrawn in recent years. Chairman Fan introduced in a loud voice:

"The dictionary adopts the radical classification method, arranging the single words according to the strokes, the dictionary is divided into 12 episodes, identified by 12 earthly branches, each set is divided into upper, middle and lower three volumes, and according to the finals, tones and syllables are classified and arranged in the finals list and their corresponding Chinese characters, a total of 45,000 and 37 Chinese characters are included......"

The UN directors present immediately looked at each other with surprised expressions on their faces.

Fan Wenpei and other directors were even more shocked in their hearts, and when the United Nations decided to use Chinese characters as the official language, it was very meaningful, that is, to suppress the European and American civilizations, which were dominant.

As for the Chinese civilization, they also deliberately suppressed it, so they avoided mentioning the things that Europe and the United States, the United States, the DPRK, and other countries joined forces to erase the history of China, and the Sotheby's Group collected cultural relics.

In order to leave the handle of various countries, it can balance the forces of all parties and maintain global stability.

Otherwise, if the United Nations had rashly taken the lead for the sake of China, clashed with Europe and the United States, and caused internal turmoil, the United Nations would never have developed into such a powerful country as it is today.

Europe and the United States are also very vigilant against the countries of the Yanhuang civilization, and the strategy used has always been to divide and suppress.

So although Sotheby's has a large number of Chinese cultural relics in its hands, they have not come forward to compete in the Chinese character dictionary.

Rather, the two Koreas competed with each other, and used the materials handed down by each of them to compile and draw the "Shuo Zi Jie Wen" and the "New Yue Dictionary" to contain each other.

And people inside the United Nations also know that in fact, these two countries have not come up with all the Chinese character materials they have mastered, and they have secretly left some interpretations of rare characters, and waited for the right time to use them as capital, and then took them out in exchange for benefits.

Therefore, at this stage, there are only more than 35,000 Chinese characters recognized as used...... And the Huaxia side was able to compile a "Huaxia Dictionary" of more than 45,000 words this time, which means that they not only decrypted the information of the Ming Xiaoling.

There is also a book, the ancient materials of the North Korean side support ......!?
