When the elders arrived in Shaanxi, they found that the customs and customs of Shaanxi were almost the same as those of the North American Indians, and some of the languages were more similar.

Xi'an, Tang Zhongzong and Wu Zetian Qianling, they seem to have seen the Mayan pyramids. It's just a small pile of rocks that uses natural mountains to achieve the unity of nature and man. The Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing are also roughly the same, but closer to the covered structure of the Mayan pyramids.

It's just that there are people in these places who protect the forests, and maybe in a few decades, these mausoleums will only be able to see some vague shapes.

Everywhere they went, the elders knelt on the ground and bowed in worship. And their method of salutation, Guo Moruo and others believe that it should be the same as the ancient rites of the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

"The southern Maya, they still use the names of the royal family to keep their dates. It's the same with numbers. This is the same as the earliest number and Ganzhi year in China. The difference is that the Chinese characters are interpreted in sentences to explain that this is a certain king for a few years. And the Mayans put all this information into words. The Maya added half of the number on the basis of the Ganzhi chronology, that is, eighteen, and the first royal families to be defeated in the past were sacrifices, historians and soldiers. This astronomical calendar that they mastered. They divided the year into eighteen months. And this is in line with the astronomical algorithm recorded by Zhou Yi, that is, the words of two nines are superimposed. In order to show respect for the king, the king added the calendar, plus what happened to record the text. This makes the Mayan script very illegible. Once the dynasty falls, perhaps the meaning of the words can only be understood but not spoken. ”

"The legacy of writing habits is deep. Chinese is different, and Chinese presents a strange situation in the Spring and Autumn Warring States. However, because when the Qin State unified China, it was not a royal family but a small frontier people, and when unifying the script, the script that circulated among the people was adopted. and normalize it. Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty is even more so, which should also be related to the contention of a hundred schools, and the influence of Laozi Mozi and Confucius gradually surpassed that of historians. After many national integrations, the writing developed in the direction of simplification, rather than being in a closed state as in the Americas, and the writing developed in the direction of multiplication and deification. ”

Guo Moruo, Wang Guowei and others gave explanations based on the information provided by the elders in the study of paleographies at Northwest University.

"But actually. The Mayan script was also simplified, and the real royal family used full-body characters, which actually contained most of the king's merits during his lifetime. A full-body word is an epic. His interpretation is not a pronunciation, but a eulogy. These words are engraved on temples and important ritual vessels. The script used by the common people is a text that is decomposed from the middle, including phonetic characters, which is used to explain eulogies. The writing custom of the whole body character. It is still preserved in Taoist charms and some family crests. Now the common people are happy with the family. The auspicious words used in the Spring Festival, such as fortune and treasure, are often seen, which look like a word, but in fact it is not, but a paragraph. ”

Therefore, the simplification of Chinese characters has a long history, and the difference between simplification and complexity is clear to everyone. However, we still have to follow the laws that have been formed by history in simplifying the text, and we cannot make it up blindly. There needs to be a gradual process, which can be a little longer. It is necessary to let the people like to hear it. The writing was not that of the princes and nobles, but of the common people. ”

Wang Li, who accompanied the elders back, quickly translated in ancient Chinese.

End of presentation. More than a thousand people in the audience stood up and applauded, while the elders were at a loss. They learned to applaud with everyone, but they didn't know whether to stand or sit down, because the Indians were a hierarchical tribe and the tribe didn't have to pay respect for someone's speech.

But China is different, and China's top leader, Mao Shishan, has also expressed his respect to the stage like everyone else.

In Tokyo, preparations are underway for the National Games.

Since the popularization of physical fitness grading among the people, China has gradually formed a set of national sports system. The Student Sports Day is held every three years. However, the National Games have not yet been held.

The main sports are track and field, gymnastics, ice skating, swimming, diving, equestrian, and climbing. Then there is chess, mainly chess and Go. Because it is a public project, the difficulty is not high. Those who have reached the moon level or above can only act as coaches and team leaders. Darkmoon-level ones are generally referees.

Tokyo was chosen to host the National Games because some of the sports fields that Japan had built in preparation for the Olympics were retained and renovated during the urban renovation.

Once again, the Games did not accept wushu into the competition, because everyone believed that wushu was a skill to defeat the enemy, and it could not be performed. But gymnastics, which embodies comprehensive quality, can.

IOC President Henried. Vallaratour arrived in Tokyo, accompanied by the IOC's Executive Board. Due to the outbreak of the European War, the 1940 Olympic Games in Helsinki were cancelled. At this time, China's holding of the National Games is a bit delicate.

However, China has never had an Olympic committee and has never sent personnel to participate in the Olympic Games. Henryd. Paya Latour came to Tokyo.

"The Olympics are for peace. But now it has become an industry, a place for countries to show their national strength, and the Berlin Olympics are a typical example. This is one reason why China will not participate in the Olympics. Competitive sports are not promoted in China. ”

Zhang Chun and Latour walk the streets of Tokyo.

"Sports should be culture, and competition is another category. Competition is not for people to see, Chinese martial arts are to divide life and death, sign life and death, that is, war and death, do you think this can be provided to people to appreciate? ”

Zhang Chun said with a smile.

"So China's sports are more of a national fitness part. Chinese martial arts have also asked to enter the games several times, but they have been refused, because the martial arts for performance are not martial arts, they are tricks, and what they used to play on the Beijing flyover was called tricks and showmanship. It was the common people who made it out in order to survive, full of blood and tears, and at the same time full of deception. So it's not something that can be appreciated either. It is a sin to provide for others to appreciate and appreciate. ”

"So the Chinese Games have removed martial arts, judo, boxing, wrestling, fencing and so on. Similar competitions are tested in military exercises as well as in actual combat. China will never allow the emergence of gladiators, for example, nor will it allow the emergence of aristocrats who treat the lives of ordinary people as child's play. This has been the case in China from ancient times to the present. If a king does this, he is a faint king. Whoever writes history will take a hard note on him, and it will become an eternal shame. If you are interested, you can look through the Chinese history classics. ”

"China is very cautious about the use of force, and Lao Tzu said: "Conquer the people with Taoism, not strengthen the world with soldiers." So the so-called higher, faster, stronger as the purpose of the movement, this is not something I can agree with. China's movement does have a similar rating effect. However, it is evaluated from the comprehensive qualities of strength, speed, explosiveness, endurance, muscle stretching flexibility, body coordination, balance, sense of direction after extreme exercise, rapid recovery ability, and adaptability to different environments. There are similarities with the purpose of the Olympic Games, but there are also fundamental differences. It is not a gentleman's vessel, and it is used as a last resort, and tranquility is the best. ”

Zhang Chun speaks English very fluently, but when quoting Chinese classics, he will discuss with Li Zhen how to translate.

And what surprised Latour the most was that Niu Niu still ran to the school playground to play with the students by herself, and no one stopped it. Mr. and Mrs. Zhang wore gray-haired hoods and wore traditional costumes during the meeting. It looks old-fashioned. But the skin texture of the two of them really can't be hidden, and it is completely the skin of only twenty or thirty years old.

"You're a gentleman." Latour has already understood what Zhang Chun said about the reason why China did not set up an Olympic committee.

"The Olympic Games were good at the beginning, but even your predecessor, Monsieur de Coubertin, failed to prevent the Olympic Games from being influenced by capital, and of course, you and Monsieur de Coubertin did their best to ensure that the competition was conducted in a fair and just manner, but the competition is the competition, and the competition has interests, and if there are interests, there will be capital to enter, and I think you can't deny that."

Latour was very reluctant to admit it, but it was true.

Zhang Chun said with a smile: "China also has China's shortcomings, in the past, all civil and military activities, as long as they were organized by the imperial court, had to engage in what kind of champion and flower list, that is, the champion and runner-up in the West." And this time we are not going to do that, because we are going to be televised, so there is more emphasis on national participation and national fitness. Therefore, more attention will be paid to the process of national selection, and it is just a ceremony and celebration in Tokyo. There are competitions, but the position doesn't matter. Television broadcasts are mainly based on local events. We don't make stars, what stands out is the people, and we encourage the people to participate. (To be continued......)
