Chapter 751: Xianbei Chiye
Osamu Kono thought to himself, but forgot about this stubble, "Okay, wait until we go back and see!" ”
Back in the rented courtyard, it was already evening, and the wind had already prepared the meal and placed it on the large round table in the living room.
"I'm not busy eating!" Osamu Kono rushed to the second floor. In this courtyard, the main building is a small two-story building. There are four rooms on the upper and lower floors, with Nishiki Rat and Futaoka living on the second floor, and Osamu Kono and Shuki Furo living on the first floor. The vacant rooms are used as living rooms, bathrooms, kitchens, and more.
When they arrived at the door, the brocade rat asked Osamu Kono and Futaoka to wait a while, and then entered the room and closed the door.
When Osamu Kono and Futaoka entered, they saw a rectangular leather box more than one meter long on the table, with buckles and handles.
"This box?" Osamu Kono knew that the box was new at first glance, and why did it look so familiar? I seem to see it all the time.
"This is what I converted from a box for a billiard cue!" The brocade mouse triumphantly opened the box, "First, it's because this knife is relatively narrow!" Second, because carrying such a box will not make people suspicious! ”
Osamu Kono said, no wonder! Although he doesn't play snooker, he is a fan of Higgins, and he still watches the game often. It can also be seen from the players he admires that this person's temperament is also very stable, otherwise in terms of good-looking, he is also a "seven-five-three master", and O'Sullivan's style of play is more ornamental.
A gleaming knife was taken out.
The knife was about a meter long, but it was indeed narrow, and the width of the blade should be less than four centimeters, a bit like a bayonet, but there was no blood groove. And it's relatively thin, and the thickest part is one centimeter. The handguard is flat oval, and the end of the handle is rounded in the shape of an iron ring, which is beautifully made.
"Did you really cut down a tree with the thick mouth of a bowl with this knife?" Osamu Kono carefully rubbed his fingers up and down the blade, and a cold breath penetrated his bones. But even so, it is not easy to use such a thin, narrow knife to cut down a tree with a thick bowl mouth.
The knife is different from the sword, the sword is agile, the knife is heavy and strong, so it generally has a certain thickness and width, and this knife seems to have a lot of sword flexibility.
"Hehe, I've cut branches the thickness of an egg, and there is no resistance at all, and I guess it's no problem to cut a tree with the thickness of the bowl!" The brocade mouse dares to love YY.
Futaoka's gaze was fixed on the gilded inscription on the lower part of the blade.
This script is indeed very strange, a bit like a minority script, and a bit like a hieroglyph, but it can be roughly seen that it should be two characters.
Kono Osamu thought for a moment, "This should indeed be the ring head sword of the Sixteen Kingdoms period. From the middle of the Western Han Dynasty to the end of the Sui Dynasty, the ring-headed knife can be said to be popular, and it can be called the originator of the Chinese short-handled war knife! This knife is light and sharp, just right for immediate combat, and should be used by the northern nomads. However, this knife is so high-end and exquisite, it is obviously not something that ordinary people can have! ”
"Mr. Kono, yes!" This is the first time I've heard him analyze antiquities since he met Osamu Kono. As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one.
"Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qian, Di, Qiang, which ethnic language is this?" Osamu Kono ignored the rat's surprise and groaned.
Ergang slowly opened his mouth at this time, "This should be Tuoba Xianbei's words!" ”
Xianbei is a nomadic people, in fact, there are many tribes, such as Ergang said Tuoba Xianbei, this is the most famous, because the Northern Wei Dynasty was established by Tuoba Xianbei, the founding emperor Tuoba Jue.
There is also a more famous Murong Xianbei, who established the Later Yan Dynasty. Qiao Feng in the north, Murong in the south, and Murong Fu are known as the descendants of the royal family of the Great Yan Kingdom. This matter is troublesome, the two masters of martial arts in the Central Plains, one is a Liao person, and the other is a Xianbei person.
Tuoba Xianbei eventually established the Northern Wei Dynasty, and by the time of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, reforms were implemented. To put it simply,It's basically a number of sinicization measures.,One of them is to promote the Chinese language.。
It's not an ordinary push, a strong push. Not only is the Xianbei script no longer used, but even the Xianbei name has been changed to a Chinese character name, and even the Xianbei people who enter the Central Plains are forbidden to use the Xianbei language!
Although there was a resurgence of the use of Xianbei language later, it did not last long after all. The Xianbei script has not been handed down, and it is widely said that it was lost in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties.
"Mr. Futaoka knows Xianbeiwen?" The brocade rat didn't know very much about it, but he knew that the Xianbei script was lost. This Japanese devil actually knows the long-lost nomadic script in China?
"I don't know these two words!" "But I've seen some Xianbei characters, and I can roughly infer from the glyph features and structure!" ”
At this moment, Osamu Kono was also surprised, "Where did Mr. Futaoka meet him?" ”
"In the family of Professor Akira Kawabata of Edo University, he can be regarded as one of my teachers!"
Hearing Akira Kawabata, Osamu Kono's expression was also a little solemn, "Professor Kawabata is a well-known scholar of Asian history in Fuso, and his research on China is particularly profound, and my father also admires him!" ”
"As early as ten years ago, Professor Kawabata published a paper "On the Associated Influence of Xianbei Characters on Chinese Consciousness from the End of the Han Dynasty", and his research on Xianbei characters is not comparable to Chinese experts!" Futaoka said categorically.
Although the brocade rat helps the Japanese people to do things, but it is also for money, and the sense of national honor is still there, as soon as I hear this, I am immediately unhappy, "When I hear the title of this paper, it is not good, and the grammar is not right!" ”
"It's just a matter of my translation! There is an English version, there is a Japanese version, you can watch it for yourself if you are interested! And if you have the ability, you can also find a professor in Huaxia to recognize it! Futaoka took out his mobile phone and took a picture of the inscription on the blade, "I can guarantee that I will pass the picture to Professor Kawabata, and he will soon be able to recognize the Chinese meaning of this Xianbei inscription!" ”
"Good! Then we'll wait! The brocade mouse thought to himself, this is bullying me! Where do I know any university professors in my profession?! It's called Kawabata or something, it's best not to recognize it! Otherwise, I just destroyed the face of Ergang's old miscellaneous hair, but he earned it back again!
Unexpectedly, this Kawabata Tani Zhao replied with a lot of words, and the content was also very concise, with only two Chinese characters:
Chiye!
Chiye?
The brocade mouse suddenly grabbed the handle of the knife tightly, picked it up and put it into the box, the amplitude was a little large, and he almost touched the second gang next to him, "You be careful, this knife is too sharp!" Futaoka shouted.
"This is the legendary Chiye Knife? Is it actually engraved with a Xianbei inscription? Osamu Kono held his breath, "Mr. Nishiki! ”
"Mr. Kono, don't talk too much, talk too much, I can't help you with this work of the Great West Treasure!" The brocade rat fastened the box, his hand still pressed tightly against it.
