Chapter 908: Three Examples

Chairman Fan listened to Fermat's question, but he was silent, he knew very little about paleography, so he looked at his companion, and saw Professor Bai of the Huaxia Federation of Literary and Art Circles come out and respond loudly:

"Consultant Fei's words, I'm afraid there is no basis~~ The interpretation of these two Chinese characters is a public opinion. ”

Fermat looked at Professor Bai and asked quietly:

I remember that your Huaxia Federation of Literary and Art Circles seems to have said that the Yanhuang culture originated in China, if you take the materials of the two countries to prove it?"

Fermat's words are ironic, but they are actually testing whether the Korean Federation of Literary and Art Circles has fallen to the Chinese side.

"Since Consultant Fei questions modern public opinion, let's talk about ancient theory. Professor Bai said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Ancient Theory?" Fermat frowned slightly.

"Consultant Fei may not know, our newly unearthed Ming filial piety mausoleum materials in China, there are also relevant texts, and there is exactly this 'out' word......" Professor Bai said confidently:

It is shown in the "Four Books and Five Classics", for example: the sentence is finished, and the cute person is exhausted, from "The Book of Rites, Moon Order, Ji Chun"

The princes went out of the temple, from "The Book of Gu Ming"

From the North Gate, from "Poetry, Sao Feng, North Gate"

I'm out of my car, from "Poetry, Xiaoya, Out of the Car" ......"

Fan Longpei and other members of the United Nations were slightly surprised, but they didn't expect this Professor Bai to casually say so much information to corroborate, this Huaxia Federation of Literary and Art Circles is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and there is not only one capable person, Su Huai.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Professor Gu on the side also said: "The source of the word 'heavy' is the earliest to lead to the long-term. - "Yi Zhi Ci", the right to know the importance later. - Mencius......

This time, the Huaxia Federation of Literary and Art Circles had been very well prepared before coming, but it was not something that Fermat could make difficult with a casual word.

Chairman Fan only spoke at this time: "If Consultant Fei and the consultant team of Sotheby's Group do not believe it, we can immediately obtain information to corroborate it and see if what we say is substantiated. ”

Chairman Fan's words were extremely strong, and he had already pointed out that Sotheby's had a lot of Chinese cultural relics in his private collection.

Under Chairman Fan's aggressiveness, Fermat remained silent and unexpectedly changed his words:

"Oh...... It seems that these two words are not only mistaken by modern people, but also by the ancient Chinese people. ”

What the?

Chairman Fan and the others were all slightly stunned, this Fermat is too ashamed!

"Please ask the consultant to retract this sentence and insult the ancestors of Huaxia, and my Huaxia Federation of Literary and Art Circles will investigate it to the end. Chairman Fan said in a deep voice.

"I didn't insult your Chinese ancestors. Fermat squinted his eyes and said:

"It is you Chinese people who have made big mistakes in the history of writing without knowing it. ”

Fermat also sneered twice as he spoke:

"Ancient Chinese characters were born from hieroglyphs, and the structure of each Chinese character has its meaning, but why don't you Chinese people think about it, this 'out' character system 'two mountains' overlaps, which can be described as 'heavy';

The word "heavy" is a combination of the word "thousands of miles", which can be described as far away, the meaning of going out thousands of miles.

The meaning of these two words is simply reversed from each other, you have used it for thousands of years but you don't know it, it's ridiculous, the ancient Chinese people were ignorant, Chairman Fan, you are a modern person, don't you see it?"

As soon as he said this, not only the people of the Huaxia Federation of Literary and Art Circles at the scene, but even Fan Longpei and other directors were stunned.

Because of these two words, they have used them for so long, and they never thought that there would be such a problem.

Looking at it this way, this "out" does mean overlapping, while "heavy" instead means "going out a thousand miles".

It really makes sense to say this, the three professors of ancient literature of the Huaxia Federation of Literary and Art Circles all looked at each other, and they all thought to themselves, could it be that this Sotheby's group really has earlier and more accurate ancient literature data and cultural relics?

Otherwise, how did they find a special case with opposite meanings among so many Chinese characters?

As soon as this thought came to mind, the three of them suddenly became nervous.

On the contrary, Chairman Fan was still relatively calm and said:

"Consultant Fei's question is indeed reasonable, but it seems that the Cultural Affairs Bureau of the United Nations General Assembly has a rule that in terms of text interpretation, it cannot be interpreted with isolated evidence......

Before he could finish speaking, Fermat interrupted him and laughed, "Who said we only have solitary evidence?"

"Is there a similar example? two Chinese characters with completely opposite meanings?" asked Fan Longpei, who was a little surprised.

Fermat stood up and calmly wrote in the air in front of everyone, explaining:

"Our research team found that this is not the only place where Chinese people get the meaning of Chinese characters wrong.

There is also the error of the word 'cow' and the word 'half'.

The word 'ox' has only half a side in the form of a skimm, which is read as 'half', and the word 'half' has two horns at the beginning, like a cow, and should be read as 'ox'......"

When everyone listened, they all thought about it for a while, and suddenly felt that it made sense...... That's really ......

Seeing the look of surprise on the faces of Chairman Fan's Huaxia Federation of Literary and Art Circles, Fermat smiled with a hint of mockery:

"The same example is the word 'square' and 'circle', 'square' is not square at all, its glyph is very similar to the word 'yuan', and 'yuan' is originally square, angular and angular, illiterate people, it is easy to judge the word 'square' from the pictogram ......"

Originally, Fermat only said "out" and "heavy", which sounded like an accidental phenomenon, but he gave three identical examples in a row, and the persuasiveness was greatly increased.

The most important thing is that they Sotheby's Group has a lot of Yanhuang cultural relics that are not important in China, so Fermat's words sound more authoritative.

Hearing this, Fan Longpei and the other directors all nodded slightly:

"From this point of view, there are still a lot of editing errors in the "Huaxia Dictionary......"

"Yes, this new official dictionary should be left to the Sotheby's team. ”

"It makes sense that Sotheby's has the highest level of research on ancient Chinese characters. ”

Several professors of the Huaxia Federation of Literary and Art Circles were anxious, and said again and again:

"How can that work, since there is a mistake, then our Huaxia Federation of Literary and Art Circles can change it!"

"The saints of Confucius all say that knowing mistakes can be changed, and good is great!"

"We compiled more than 10,000 words, and the team at Sotheby's pointed out a few mistakes and held them responsible, how can this make sense!?"

The two sides are a word, I am a word, the air is full of gunpowder, the Huaxia Federation of Literary and Art Circles this time to compile the official dictionary, the ambition is bound to win, how can you give it to Sotheby's Group.

However, at this time, Fermat was very calm, thought about it and proposed:

"Well, then, since the "Huaxia Dictionary" compiled by the Huaxia Federation of Literary and Art Circles has 45,000 words, then our team will compile 46,000 words, 1,000 more words, the same ...... As long as you find 3 mistakes and omissions in it, then we will withdraw from this competition............"
