In the night, beside the campfire, Wang Yang did more than 100 push-ups in one breath under the light of the fire.

Then I did more than 100 sit-ups, and there were many frog jumps at the end, and finally I was sweating profusely and lying on the side softly.

"Hey, people are getting old, and their health is not as good as before." He muttered something that seemed normal to himself, but never normal to others.

In the past, he could do more, but now he has less time to practice, and he is not so fierce, and his intensity is much less.

He ran to the brook and washed himself quickly in the night.

There were people in the stream, several women, with shining eyes, looking at Wang Yang's sturdy body without any concealment.

"Give way to a place." Wang Yang had already adapted to this situation, squeezed into the middle of several people, washed casually, and returned to the shed.

Looking at the picture of everyone going straight to grab their spouses, Wang Yang suddenly shouted, attracting their attention.

Everyone suddenly stopped all kinds of things, and when he saw that several pairs of men and women who were making offspring also stopped, he was stunned for a moment, feeling very strange, so he waved his hand at them.

"You go on."

Most of the people surrounded Wang Yang, who stood in the middle, thought for a while, and finally picked up his pen and drew a bison on the ground.

He painted vividly and vividly.

Then he drew another cow, which was very small in proportion, and not at all figurative, it was the side of a cow, only the outline of a cow.

He highlighted the horns, then nodded an eye and pointed to the beautiful cow figure. He pointed to the ugly cow picture, indicating that they were both cows.

The crowd stepped forward. It should be that they didn't understand, and they kept giving a thumbs up to the good-looking cow. Then he shook his head at the unsightly cow.

Li Si even walked over and told Wang Yang that the other cow was too poorly drawn, and the four hooves and the side of the cow should be depicted specifically.

Wang Yang frowned slightly, didn't say anything, and continued to draw, he drew two more sheep, both of which were different.

The crowd commented again to see which of the two sheep was well drawn. Where is the good place, where is the bad drawing, where is the bad place.

Wang Yang continued to paint, and then he painted two people, one with a head, arms and legs, and the other person, which is the Chinese character for "person".

"Cough cough cough ......" Everyone looked at the word "person", and coughed several times in Wang Yang's voice, not daring to comment.

Because of this...... It's too lazy. Where did the two legs and the spine, the head and the arms go?

Wang Yang still did not give up, he continued to paint all kinds of things, including trees. There are pigs, there are elephants, there is grass. There are flowers.

When everyone saw him draw one, they commented on it. The last few people with good painting skills can't stand it, led by Li Si. Start adding a few strokes to the unsightly picture and polish it.

As soon as the others saw it, they also improved all kinds of paintings, and for a while, the paintings that were not good-looking became much better-looking.

As expected, everyone regarded this historic creation of words as an art symposium.

Wang Yang said that the pressure was too great to bear.

Only now did he realize that the communication method of drawing has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has become the most important way.

It occupies 80% of the communication between people, and many things that cannot be expressed with gestures can be expressed with pictures.

Although sometimes the meaning you want to express in the painting will be different from the person who looks at it, you can still communicate beautifully.

In this way, there will be a situation like Li Si, who wants to perfect the picture, and wants to use the picture to express the key points of his own expression, so that the person who sees it can fully understand.

Wang Yang understands quite well, this is a very bad signal, no matter how easy the pictures are, there are no words that are easy to use, many abstract things, pictures can never be drawn, and these, words can do.

Moreover, not to mention the waste of time in painting, it is an extremely tedious process, and the clearer the meaning you want to express, the more detailed it must be depicted, and it will take a long time to draw.

Originally, the appearance of words was to replace the role of pictures.

However, they showed signs of developing their drawings to the extreme, which Wang Yang did not like, which was not conducive to the dissemination of his knowledge.

However, it does not seem to be easy for them to get rid of the habit of drawing and replace it with words.

"If you want to find a way, you have to think of a way." Wang Yang began to actively kill brain cells.

He thought about how the picture had squeezed into people's minds in the first place, because he had made a fake person, and made them understand that their minds could imagine a fake person, a real person.

Then the fake painting can be imagined to be true, which touches their memory and constructs the entire picture system.

This is the original abstract thinking, but it is based on completely real memory.

Now, what special way can I think of to achieve the same effect?

Two minutes later: "Well, 10,000 brain cells died." ”

Another two minutes passed: "Well, 20,000 brain cells died." ”

An hour later: "Well, 300,000 brain cells died." ”

Wang Yang wiped his face, his brain cells had died so much, and he didn't come up with anything.

He took a few sips of water, a little speechless.

The crowd had dispersed, looking for their confidantes, and the shed was noisy.

Wang Yang sat by the campfire, and his shadow was stretched long and long under the firelight.

He was still struggling with his brain cells, wondering how to start.

It's like asking someone who has been smoking for several years to quit smoking, and it's going to be hard to get used to it for a while.

But in the future, it is not difficult to quit smoking, at least some people tell you that smoking is harmful to your health.

He can't tell people right now that painting is bad for his health.

The next day, he really didn't think of a particularly good way, so he joined the labor.

In the evening, he began to paint again, the same two paintings, one very figurative and complex, and the other very simple and very fast.

Everyone came up and wanted to help him improve, they thought that Wang Yang was deliberately drawing an ugly one, and asked them to improve it to be good-looking. Improve their drawing skills.

Wang Yang stretched out his hand and slapped away the hands that reached out to change the painting. Ask them to look at these pictures.

Everyone looked at it for a while, puzzled.

Wang Yang pointed to the very vivid picture. Ask them what kind of animal they are.

They laughed and learned the sounds of the animals.

Then he pointed to the simple, non-living painting and asked what kind of animals they were.

They learned to scream again.

Nodding, Wang Yang asked them to identify the other animals, and they recognized them one by one.

After that, Wang Yang painted a few rather simple paintings, in which only the animals were highlighted in their most striking areas. Then tell them to identify.

They thought about it for a while, but they recognized it.

"If you can understand very simple paintings, why do you want to paint so hard?" Wang Yang was really speechless.

From here, it can be seen that everyone has learned to "make up for the brain", and "brain fill" is an online term that means to automatically fill in the missing things in the mind.

For example, there is an idiom for brain supplements, as long as you say "one hand", most people will add "cover the sky".

Landslide. People think of ground fissures.

There is also a brain supplement for sentences, such as this paragraph.

"My dream is to be able to stand in front of the blackboard and look straight down there. Awe-inspiring children. ”

Although the appearance of such a passage does not explain what his dream is, everyone knows that he wants to be a teacher.

This thing is brain supplement. It's kind of like a fill-in-the-blank question. It requires strong logical thinking.

For modern people, this is naturally not a problem. And at this time, everyone has obviously developed to this stage.

At this time. It doesn't need to be well drawn, just highlight a certain point to make it reminiscent of something.

With this, it shows that they are fully capable of learning words, at least hieroglyphs are not a problem.

But how do you make them realize the importance of learning words?

Wang Yang closed his eyes and frowned, sifting through the meaning of the words in his mind.

Words are the carrier of culture, the inheritance of history, and the ............

Wang Yang threw away all the above-mentioned messy things, and finally fell to the text as what would appear.

What did the first person to create hieroglyphs think? Does he want to continue the cultural heritage? Facilitating the spread of knowledge?

It shouldn't be that great, right? So what exactly does he want to do? Let him whimsically simplify drawings, write hieroglyphs?

"That's not right!" Wang Yang suddenly thought that at that time, there should be no concept of words, and everyone was still painting murals.

Like everyone else today, they can draw, but they don't know how to write.

So why don't they develop pictures to the extreme like everyone else?

Wang Yang frowned and paced around the campfire. He couldn't help but eat a few more bites of meat and fruit, thinking that his brain cells had died a lot at this time, and he had to eat something to replenish them.

The ancient history of the earth in the last life is in the form of murals, showing the living conditions of human beings at that time.

The earliest can be traced back to the late Paleolithic, early Neolithic 40,000 years ago, that mural in Spain, is the earliest trace of human painting.

But it is conceivable that the appearance of pictures must have been earlier than that period.

The murals of 40,000 years ago are naturally not good-looking, because of the problem of tools, because of the problem of mural technology, it is much worse.

In the later period, especially the Dunhuang murals are the most prominent, the murals at this time are already superb, vivid.

But it is worth noting that the murals at this time were already an art and no longer had more meaning than faith.

So when did the gap in the middle take place?

Suddenly, Wang Yang thought of a big question.

At that time, human beings had already formed a language, and they did not intend to use murals as a means of communication at all, so to speak, murals were just an art from the beginning.

But at this time, painting had become a way of communication.

Here they are, there is no language! (To be continued......)

PS: Sure enough, I still can't hold back and want to talk at the end of the chapter, even if it's just a sentence, ask for a ticket!
