Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Yu Dynasty

Seeing that many people looked puzzled, Li Zhibao explained: "The Yu Dynasty is an older dynasty than the Xia Dynasty, which existed from the beginning of the 36th century BC to the beginning of the 21st century BC, also known as the Yellow Emperor Dynasty or the Yu Shun Dynasty, and was located in the north of Yangcheng. ”

"The so-called Yu Dynasty is the Yu Shun mentioned in the history books, referring to Emperor Shun Yao Chonghua."

Xiao Ling's lips moved, and he finally came back to his senses and understood what Li Zhibao was talking about Yu Chao and Yu Shun.

Yao Shunyu is the legendary three ancient sage emperors, and Li Zhibao said that Yao Chonghua, the Shun Emperor of the Yu Dynasty, obviously refers to Yao Shunyu, the three ancient saint kings.

Hu Shengzhe was surprised: "Professor Li, do you mean that this is the text of the Yu Shun period?" Isn't this Yu Dynasty always considered to be a legend? Its existence has not yet been confirmed, and it has not been internationally recognized. ”

Li Zhibao shook his head and said lightly: "The civilization and origin of our country do not need the so-called international recognition, after all these years of research and archaeological discoveries, it has been confirmed that the Yu Dynasty is real, as for those guys who doubt the ancient school, they are even more suspicious of Yao Shunyu is a god, or a real person, they not only doubt the Yu Dynasty, but even do not recognize the existence of the Xia Dynasty." ”

"The archaeological excavations of the Yin Ruins in Anyang and the oracle bone inscriptions in the last century directly proved the existence of the Shang Dynasty. This has given great encouragement to Chinese scholars, and we all hope to find the cultural remains of the Xia Dynasty and even the more ancient Yu Dynasty from archaeology, so as to find evidence of the existence of the Yu and Xia dynasties. ”

When Li Zhibao said this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and continued: "Later, the discovery of the Erlitou site can confirm the existence of the Xia Dynasty, but the existence of the Yu Dynasty has not been able to find more strong evidence, but some text-like symbols have been found on some unearthed pottery, but these simple characters cannot prove the existence of the Yu Dynasty." ”

"Although the cultural relics unearthed today cannot make the world recognize the existence of the Yu Dynasty, we all know in our hearts that the Yu Dynasty and Yu Shun are not myths or legends, but a great civilization that really exists."

Li Zhibao has studied ancient civilizations and ancient languages all his life, and he has a strong sense of pride and enthusiasm for this career.

Everyone listened quietly to him here, Xiao Ling was also infected by Li Zhibao's emotions, and couldn't help but say: "Old Professor Li, is the text engraved on this cylinder the text of the Yu Dynasty?" So can this be used as evidence to prove to the world that the Yu Dynasty is real? ”

Li Zhibao heard Xiao Ling's words, his eyes shifted to the broken round stone pillar again, shook his head and said: "We have also unearthed similar stone pillars in other places, but this Yu Dynasty text is too difficult to understand, and it is difficult for me to fully identify it after studying it all my life, I can only guess that this stone pillar is recorded on some of the content of the sacrifice, just want to be recognized by the academic community, it is far from enough to rely on this stone pillar and these simple words engraved on it." ”

He paused and continued: "Because the civilization recognized in the academic community needs to meet several conditions at the same time, such as a mature writing system, large sacrificial centers and cities, as well as the casting of bronze objects, etc., only by meeting these can it be recognized as a civilization by the academic community, otherwise it can only be regarded as a culture at most. ”

Xiao Ling sighed, and then he realized that it is by no means easy to be recognized by the international academic community as a civilization, not just with some relics or writing, but with a large urban center, a mature writing system and bronzes.

"Although we have only discovered this stone pillar, it may not be necessary to say that there are more ruins of the Yu Dynasty ahead." Xiao Ling's guess lifted Li Zhibao's spirits and said: "Yes, Xiao Xiao, what you said makes sense, this stone pillar will never appear here in isolation, since it is engraved with the Yu Dynasty's Yu book, it may mean that there are relics about the Yu Dynasty underground." ”

Xiao Ling thought to himself that their scientific expedition team came to this underground world because of the Pisces Jade Pendant, but looking at Li Zhibao's excited appearance now, it was obvious that the stone pillar that recorded the Book of Yu aroused Li Zhibao's interest, and he now only wanted to find evidence of the existence of the Yu Dynasty, but he was afraid that he would even forget the mysterious Pisces Jade Pendant.

Zhou Kesheng also frowned slightly, but didn't say anything, just said: "Let's go quickly, everyone, we have been here for too long." ”

The crowd bypassed the round stone pillar and continued to walk forward.

The beam of probing light in Sun Tao's hand shines extremely far, penetrating the darkness, at least 100 meters away.

As the beam of light swept forward, soon everyone showed a look of surprise, among which Li Zhibao was the most excited, he couldn't help but speed up his steps and overtook everyone.

Sun Tao was busy with his mistakes, and he was busy speeding up and chased after Li Zhibao.

In the darkness in front of everyone, there stood round stone pillars, which were either preserved intact or broken from them, and stood in front of them one by one, like a loyal guard, guarding a mysterious dynasty.

Each stone pillar is engraved with the mysterious and ancient text, from the legendary ancient civilization, the Yushun Dynasty.

"Incredible...... Incredible. Li Zhibao's excited hands kept shaking, and he personally reached out to touch the Yu Dynasty civilization on these stone pillars.

The scale of the round stone pillar is far beyond everyone's imagination, and there is some excitement including Xiao Ling.

Judging from the number and scale of these circular stone pillars, perhaps in the depths of the earth, there really exists in a great and ancient civilization, and perhaps the ancient Yushun Dynasty is really buried here.

In their scientific expedition this time, did they really accidentally find a site that could prove the existence of the Yu Dynasty?

If there really is a huge ruins of the Yu Dynasty city here, with the ruins of this scale, once it is announced to the world, it will inevitably cause international shock, and it can also prove that the Yu Dynasty is real and can be recognized by the international academic community, which means that the origin of Chinese civilization is at least one or two thousand years earlier than the current recognition.

This discovery is absolutely shocking, and Li Zhibao's name can also go down in history because of this.

Everyone can now understand why Li Zhibao is so excited.

Li Zhibao instructed Pang Yan to be sure to take pictures of these stone pillars and the words on them, these are precious materials and must be well preserved.
