Chapter 321: Abstraction, Not Killing an Elephant
In a painting, the concept of time is expressed with a few brushstrokes, and it is estimated that few people will do this, because it is very boring.
But for today's Wang Yang, it is very interesting.
Because he painted the image of time, a few wrinkles.
Who said that the years have no imprint, who said that the years have no image, but they have not found it.
Wrinkles are the best marks of the years, and they are also the image that everyone can see at present.
When Wang Yang drew the image of time, the abstract word "time" came out.
Everyone looked at the painting with amazement, and felt that it was extremely magical, just three curved lines, so that a teenager has gone through a long period of decades and turned into a dying old man.
They understand the concept of time, but they can't draw it so simply, they need at least two paintings to make time appear on the painting.
It's not easy to think of, at least now they don't have the creative imagination.
They don't know the way, in fact, those three wrinkles already represent time, and they can be used separately.
It is not impossible to apply it directly to hieroglyphs, but it involves the logical relationship of word choice and sentence formation.
Obviously, even the development of hieroglyphs could not reach the point where they could be used directly overnight.
So, now that the image of time has been created, should it be taken apart?
"Demolition! Why not dismantle! ”
In this regard, Wang Yang's attitude is very clear, demolition is a must, how to use it without demolition. But he doesn't use it directly in sentences, but still in pictures.
Just like those radioactive lines. Take them out of the sun and use them elsewhere.
I saw Wang Yang stretch out his hand and wipe it. In the painting, the wrinkles on the man's face were erased, and suddenly the old man became a teenager again.
Then next to the drawing, he drew three more curved symbols.
Just like when he first painted, he has returned to his original appearance.
This is the closing before dismantling.
At this time, the intention of this symbol was more in everyone's minds, and they didn't know that the symbol was called "time", but they knew that the symbol was called "time". It is possible to change the time in a painting.
Now Wang Yang has dismantled this symbol, since it has been dismantled, then it will be used, where is it used? Naturally, it is used in pictures.
I saw that he drew another person this time, that person was an adult, with a smooth face and a strong body, and he was in the prime of life.
He only paints here, but he doesn't paint anymore. Instead, he stepped aside and let people continue drawing.
It's a bit like a fill-in-the-blank question, it should be said, it's a fill-in-the-blank question. It's just that this fill-in-the-blank question is not written in words, but described in pictures.
The crowd was a little eager to try. For novelties, they are interested. This thing, in particular, seems to shorten the communication process between them.
Obviously strange. But there is a sense of familiarity, because they have painted the passage of time, but they have never painted it like this.
Soon, an adult stepped forward to paint, his technique may be a little rusty, but he had already seen how Wang Yang painted, at this time, after a little thought, he erased the symbol, and then painted this symbol on the forehead of that prime man.
Suddenly, this upright and middle-aged man became a healthy old man.
Finishing touch!
If it is said that after separation, the three curved lines are dead and meaningless.
But when it is applied to a person's forehead, it becomes a wrinkle and has meaning.
He drew it, and then he was very happy because he had done something amazing.
Seeing Wang Yang smiling at him and nodding, he quickly wiped off the wrinkles, and then drew a symbol on the side.
He wanted to get out of the way for someone else to try.
Without saying a word, the exorcist came up and took the branch, stupidly erased the symbols, painted wrinkles, and saw that he was about to succeed, he actually smirked, shook his hand, and drew the wrinkles into his eyes.
"Woo!" Everyone was speechless for a moment, and then shouted one after another, saying that it wasn't painted like this, how could wrinkles run into their eyes?
The chaser was embarrassed for a while, and was shouted by everyone, and he was also anxious, jumped up and whined, and kept gesturing and justifying.
Seeing that everyone was staring at the symbol and their hands were itching, Wang Yang stepped forward and said that you should draw it yourself, and you don't have to queue up one by one.
"Woo!" The crowd cheered, and happily pulled the branch from their waists and painted on the ground.
Their branches had been sharpened with stone knives, and the tips were as thin as the tips of spears, which was because Li Si did it in the first place.
After Li Si drew many pictures, he found that if the branches were too thick, they would not be very finely drawn, and many details could not be drawn, so he sharpened them.
Everyone followed suit and found that it was really easy to use, which caused a trend, and finally became a habit.
Even Wang Yang's branches have been sharpened.
Everyone started to paint, they thought it was very interesting, they had a lot of fun drawing, and when they finished drawing, they would go to see how other people were drawing, and make comparisons.
Seeing that the first step had been completed, Wang Yang smiled slightly and proceeded to the second step.
The concept of time, if it is only applied to people, is not broad enough, it has to be used in other aspects.
I saw him pick up the branch again and paint on the ground.
This time we are drawing a cow with only a front, and its face is very finely drawn, and its horns are also drawn, and its body is also drawn.
This time, he drew a symbol on the side, and everyone stopped the branch in their hands and looked at Wang Yang.
This painting is different from the previous ones, the picture on the ground is a cow, not a person, but there is a symbol on the side, and everyone vaguely understands what Wang Yang is doing.
Sure enough, before they could turn their minds, Wang Yang erased the symbol and drew three wrinkles on the cow's forehead.
Very bizarre image of a cow with wrinkles on its head.
Basically, no one has ever seen the wrinkles on the forehead of a cow, or that the old state of the cow is not drawn in this way, but they understand that Wang Yang is painting a cow, an old cow.
Anthropomorphism.
Wang Yang uses this method, the anthropomorphism is a metaphor, which is often used when writing articles, since words can be used in this way, then pictures can naturally be used in this way.
What is displayed in front of everyone's eyes is such a strange-looking, but understandable old cow painting.
It is what Wang Yang wants to see, and this must be thanks to the development of painting, which opens up everyone's rich imagination, otherwise they would not have such associations.
The crowd laughed, and they found another interesting way to use the symbol, so they began to use it.
An hour passed on the ground, and the ground was full of all kinds of "old animals", as long as they had seen them, they were all painted with wrinkles.
They didn't know what those old animals should look like, just like an old cow and a young cow, put together, it was difficult to recognize.
The only difference is the sparkle in the eyes of the two bulls, and the scars on their bodies.
They began to use it, and Wang Yang felt very happy, which showed that his idea was not wrong, and everyone did have enough ability to understand what they wanted to express.
How to make good use of it is the key to the problem.
Now that he has grasped this key, he has grasped the future development height of the tribe, and he can reach as high as he wants the tribe to reach.
He felt very happy that through this matter, the future development process was determined.
For the time being, we can't completely separate the vocabulary alone, but we still have to rely on painting to continue to develop, and I can take advantage of this time to build more abstract vocabulary.
When a picture contains one individual abstract element after another, it is time to disassemble and rearrange them into words.
He is confident enough that in a few years at most and a few months at the least, the words will definitely appear.
Thinking of this, he felt that his whole body was relaxed, and he fell to the ground all of a sudden, squinting his eyes, and the fatigue of this time seemed to have all surged up at this moment.
Constantly invading his thoughts, eyelids, he felt that his mind was blank, all kinds of fragmentary scenes flashed in his mind, and then his eyelids became heavier and heavier, until he fell into darkness.
……
After a period of time, Wang Yang only felt that his energy was very sufficient, and with a direction, the whole person became extremely relaxed, although the process was still very hard, he still had to kill countless brain cells at any time.
But it's fun.
Since the advent of the adjective "dazzling" and the symbol of approximate equality representing time, Wang Yang has begun to create all kinds of things.
On this day, he coined the abstract noun water, as well as rivers.
He drew two straight lines, and then he drew three curved curves in the middle, which resembled the symbol "time".
It's just that one is horizontal and the other is vertical.
The two straight lines are the riverbed, and the three curved curves are naturally water, and the combination of water and the riverbed is the river.
Wang Yang had never known how to describe abstract water, because water has no fixed form except for ice cubes.
But he used these two straight lines of the riverbed, and then he painted casually, and it became a stream of water.
What is Water Flow? Water is flow! And so, the water appeared.
A few days later, he coined another adjective, cold.
What image of cold should be used as a metaphor? You can really only feel the cold, but you can't see or touch it.
In the past, if they wanted to express the cold, they had to draw snow, and they had to draw the bodies of the people, and the eyebrows were stained white with frost.
But Wang Yang didn't paint any scenes, he only painted a person curled up like a shrimp, and then drew a sign of lightning on his arms, knees and other joints.
When everyone looks at it, they will have a feeling that the person is shivering with cold, and the sign of lightning is cold.
He creates every day, enriches the diversity of his paintings every day, and expresses all abstract concepts that require more references, even comic strips, through simple symbols.
Then let the crowd see it, and the crowd can see it, which means that the symbol was created successfully, and if the crowd can't see it, it is a failure. (To be continued......)
