Chapter 21 Where did the dragon's horns come from?

"Something, like this millet man. Eating is not very delicious, from the planting of seedlings fertilization harvest, drying, beating, mortar. Look at this Qin's seal font and it will be clear at a glance. But eating it can turn hunger into strength. It's like you've taken the trouble to say so much, you must have done a lot of homework. Knowing that there's no way around you, can you just get to the point slickly?" the professor said.

As soon as he heard the professor say, "Well, I'll speculate on two things. The first point is that our culture has been passed down since prehistory - dragon culture. The essence of this dragon culture is the crocodile culture. The oracle bone inscription is made with animals and people as the main objects. The first thing to surround is crocodiles, people, dogs, cows, rats, sheep, tigers, pigs, snakes, horses, monkeys, rabbits, etc. So what was the word that first influenced the ancients to eat at the beginning of word creation? Looking at the word '蚩', the original meaning should be the meaning of eating. Because crocodiles eat people, they have too deep an impression of the shock and fear of the ancients, just like the word 'past', the impression of water. It's just that how the pronunciation of ancient man-made words came from has always bothered me. ”

"I guess it's a sound call. This doesn't seem to be controversial, right?" Menghua said carefully.

"Well, it should be. But...... But my second speculation is the appearance of the zodiac. I set the approximate time at the end of the Shang or the end of the Shang or the beginning of the week. It's too late, because the Zhou people are not sensitive to dragons. At first, I suspected that there was no snake in the merchant's oracle bone inscription, but later I found out that the word 'it' was indeed a pictographic snake. In this way, the twelve zodiac signs should be undoubtedly in the Shang Dynasty. ”

"Then, what do you say are the specific significance of these two points in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas"?" the professor asked puzzled.

"First of all, our culture is a crocodile culture, only by following this vein to find the traces of the oracle bone inscription, the writing of the ancients and the influence of writing on history, it is not difficult to see that the so-called totem in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" no longer exists. It is important for us to face up to the crocodile culture, and it is not that the so-called dragon is extinct, or that it is fiction. In that case, we will only have a background and no context. The second point is the age of the mutual formation of the zodiac and the oracle bone inscription, and it can be roughly seen that the so-called monsters in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" do not exist. He said passionately.

"What you said is too arbitrary, since the dragon is a crocodile, why does it still have horns?"

Yan Yan squinted and said, "Follow me." "Saying that, with a wave of the 'Dragon Elephant Shapeshifting Hand', the 'Kuijia Heavenly Book' came into view. He led the crowd to jump in.

"Where did you come from the dragon horns?" asked the dragon with a smile.

"Look at that word. Yu Yan said.

"What are you looking at?"

"Oh, before I look at that word, I have to say how the ancients communicated before there was no written word. ”

"How do you communicate?"

"It should be a gesture with your hands, a mute speech. ”

". ”

Yu Yan glanced at Long Er and ignored him, and then said: "Slowly try to draw what you see, as for why he painted, we can imagine this through the word 'bird seal'." This is the original hieroglyphs. For example, when he saw a crocodile, he drew it. Look, it's not. ”

"There's a crocodile. Long Er said in amazement. The big guys scramble to get closer. Seeing that the big guy was interested, he continued: "When he painted crocodiles, he felt that it was too troublesome, and in order to save effort and trouble, sometimes he only drew a crocodile tail to represent the crocodile. Look, doesn't this look like this?" he said, prompting the big guys. And all the people looked after him, and there was merit to pay attention to him. He simply said directly: "When you draw experience, draw a big mouth and a long tail." Hey, other people look like this and look like this, and slowly form a unified impression. Hey, this 'dragon' word is so finalized. ”

"yes, where is the dragon's horn?" asked the dragon with that nasty smile.

"If you want to talk about this corner......" Yan Yan looked at everyone hesitantly.

"I can't say it, so don't be pretentious. Long Er laughed and sneered.

"Daddy can definitely say Ang. Sanzi shouted at Long'er. Yu Yan looked at the third son and said, "Don't worry, guy. Then he said to the people, "This is how I understand it, and you can listen to it." To talk about this dragon horn, we have to know several ways to make words, called pictograms, instructions, ideas, and shapes. And, of course, transfers, pretenses. These two should be the era after the seal. ”

"Dad, what do you mean by Lizhu?" asked the third son suddenly.

"It's a kind of writing style. You study hard, and you will know it slowly. ”

"Oh. ”

"The word 'dragon' is made using the method of indication. In order to explain cheaply, let's take the word 'phoenix' together, and it will be easy to understand. Ao, that is, the two words of dragon and phoenix Chengxiang. Look at these two words, it doesn't have a horn on its own, they have several horns. ”

"How many horns?

"Well, I'll just keep blowing. When the dragon and the wind grow the first horn, it represents the king and queen. There should be no objection to this, right? When the first corner of the second mountain character is long, it means a mountain sacrifice, that is, a sacrifice to the mountain god. Seeing that everyone was silent, he just listened and continued: "When they grow the third rain corner......

"Dad, does it mean to sacrifice Hebo?"

"Well, Ning Gou'er is smart. It should be the river god, whether Hebo appeared in the Shang Dynasty, I'm not sure. I wonder if the professor knows?"

"This should be the river god. ”

"That's all there are to it?" asked Long Er, looking at Yu Yan.

"There's also a corner, a triangular corner. ”

"What does that mean?"

"You blow one, I'll listen. ”

"I can't, you better blow it. ”

"Don't blow it, imagine it. ”

"So where are you? You can't make it up yourself, do you?"

"Hey, Long'er doesn't dare to talk nonsense. ”

"Then you tell me, what book does your dragon and phoenix oracle bone come from?"

"It's simple. This must be said to you, you can Baidu "Sinochem Museum" - "Oracle Bone Inscription" to find the dragon word. "After saying that, the big guy flew out of the 'Kuijia Heavenly Book'. I received the 'Kuijia Heavenly Book' and just stood firm. A crowd of monsters surrounded him.

"So many sentences?" said the old man excitedly, pulling his sunglasses. Who knew that the two of them were happy, and they opened their mouths and swallowed Menghua away. The old man in sunglasses trembled when he saw it, and he fainted immediately. The professor hugged the old man in his sunglasses and cried: "Old thing, old thing, wake up, wake up, wake up." ”

Long Er and Feng Er were startled and hurriedly sat on the dragon bird beast and shouted, "What can I do here?"

"it, it's hell alive. Deliberately trampling on our IQ, right?" After scolding viciously, he shouted at the children: "Ning Gou'er, two monsters, guys." ”

"Oh, Daddy. The three children replied at the same time.

"Remember what Dad told you to guess?"

"Hmm. ”

"It's not a human arm when you come here, what kind of word is it?"

"Dad, it's a 'bad' word. ”

"Well, Ning Gou'er is smart. Then let me ask you, what does the word '夭' look like?"

"Like a word......

"What does it look like?"

"Shape ....... Oh, Dad, I know you're talking about Xingtian. ”

"Yes, remember that in case Dad has any mistakes, you have to follow this line of thought out of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", do you know?"

"Dad, I don't understand. ”

"You're so smart, you'll figure it out over time. "After Yu Yan finished speaking, he rushed to the dantian and suddenly had the idea of 'Dragon Elephant Phantom Hand', and the red seal of the palm of his hand was about to be typed. Unexpectedly, the group of Xingtian disappeared in an instant, and Menghua was fainting on the ground where Xingtian dissipated. Zhen'er hurried over and went to help Menghua. At this moment, a flock of noisy birds flew over and swooped down, only coming towards the third son. The dragon and phoenix wings fluttered and shook lightly, knocking a group of birds into the front, and then the water and fire exploded. Dragons, birds, and beasts fluttered past but were surrounded by a flock of noisy birds, and the unicorns were dispersed in the air. Seeing it in his eyes, hatred started in his heart, and his mind suddenly struck, and the word 'Dragon Elephant Shapeshifter' was about to be played.

"You can't really fight this time. ”

"It's your 'grandma' every time. After speaking, he tore off the gourd from his waist and threw it at the flock of birds. The gourd was pierced and cut in half by birds and beasts like sharp swords, and a wisp of green smoke hung in a curling air, and in an instant the beasts fluttered their wings, swept past and wandered in all directions.

The chaos turned into an instant empty and lonely evening. Yu Yan went to see the old man in sunglasses, and Zhen'er was still treating Menghua. A crowd of people gathered around. Yu Yan asked, "Are the children alright?" ”

"It's alright, Dad. What about you?" the children asked in unison.

"I'm fine. What about Long'er and Feng'er?" As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that his whole body was itchy and uncomfortable, as if he had been stung by a sharp ant and mayfly.
