Chapter 296
Gu Qingniao He put down the things in his hand, and just saw a tombstone standing on the other side of the cave, the words on the tombstone they didn't know at all, but it was completely certain that this was a domestic tombstone.
Why does a domestic tombstone appear on Citigroup territory?
Gu Qingniao always thought that even if the Xuanmen people or the ancient bigwigs arranged this place, the situation at that time should be that the foreign bigwigs did the law in this place, but he didn't expect to see a domestic tombstone here.
Lanling said: "I once said that many of these entrances were preserved later, in fact, they were not preserved in situ, many of them were artificially relocated during the Exploration Period and the Industrial Revolution, because the caracal did not know where the human settlement would be in the future, so it was necessary to find an absolutely hidden place to move over, probably this migrant, is our predecessor in China."
Gu Qingniao nodded, then looked at the words on the tombstone carefully, and said, "Then what is the word on it?" ”
Lan Ling looked at it and said, "It should be Tadpole Wen." ”
Tadpole text is also called "tadpole book", "tadpole seal", is in the beginning and end of the strokes, are written with sharp edges, its characteristics are also the head and tail are thin, the name is the Han Dynasty only appeared, after the Tang Dynasty it is rarely seen, found in the territory of Danzhu Township, Xianju County, Zhejiang.

The tadpole name only appeared after the Han Dynasty. It refers to the ancient text of the pre-Qin period. These scripts are all archaic. Guwen is the writing of ancient times, and it is also the general name of the writing created by the ancient people one after another. According to the "People's Daily", at present, a total of eight kinds of mysterious original words or symbols have been discovered in China that have yet to be decoded. That is, the "Cangjie Book" and "Xia Yu Book" that were suspected of being forgeries of ancient books, the "Hongyan Tianshu" and "Yelang Tianshu" in Guizhou, the "Bashu Symbol" unearthed in Sichuan, the "Dongba Script" found in Yunnan, the "岣嵝碑" text in Nanyue Hengshan and the tadpole text in Zhejiang Xianju. In addition to these eight scripts, researchers have also discovered mysterious scripts such as the Saba script of Ersu in the Liangshan region of Sichuan Province and the Nüshu script in the Xiangxi region. [1] History Editing In the Han Dynasty, the script used mainly official scripts, but in the late Han Dynasty, another style of writing was produced, which was written with sharp edges at the beginning and end of the strokes, and its characteristics were also thick and thin, resembling tadpoles, so it was called "tadpole text". This style of writing has been around for a short time and is now unused. From the relics that have been circulated, it can be found that the style is similar to the text on the bronze ware of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and there are such signs on the carvings and pottery of oracle bones and jade tablets of the Shang Dynasty. Tadpole text is said to be in the Wei period, the use is also very widespread, is used in the writing of the small seal, its strokes are thinner, but can be tadpole text into the pen has the characteristics of the existence of frustration penmanship, this writing style, the brush through the use of strokes, can still use its elasticity, the pen and the pen are sharper, the middle slightly front part is aggravated lines, full of interest in the characteristics of the brush, but in terms of appearance, such as the use of writing, may easily cause the overall picture to be too sharp, the lines and the overall layout can not be coordinated, no wonder it is rare to see after the Tang Dynasty. Zhejiang Xianju Tadpole Seal Editor Introduction Xianju Tadpole Text: Xianju Tadpole Text On a steep wall as high as 128 meters high in Danzhu Township, Xianju County, Zhejiang Province, artificial chiseled sun patterns, insect patterns and tadpole texts were found. Legend is a record left by Dayu's water control, and experts believe that tadpole script is a kind of hieroglyphs. In the territory of Danzhu Township, Xianju County, Zhejiang, there is a Weiqiang Mountain with thousands of peaks and thousands of ravines. Here the valleys are staggered, the ancient trees are forested, the bamboo forest is secluded, the flowing water is murmuring, the scenery is picturesque in all seasons, and it is a very important scenery line in the provincial scenic area. Among them, there is an unfathomable cultural landscape: on a thousand cliffs called tadpole cliffs, it is covered with strange patterns and symbols such as the sun pattern, the moon pattern, the insect pattern, the fish pattern, etc., which is the famous tadpole text that is said to be carved stone for Dayu. Why did the ancients engrave words on thousands of cliffs? What exactly do these graphic symbols tadpole text mean? For thousands of years, countless scholars with lofty ideals have visited to explore the wonders. According to the "Wanli Chronicles" and "Guangxu Chronicles": during the Yixi period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, a court lieutenant surnamed Zhou once "built a flying ladder to copy it with wax, but he didn't know its meaning". Later, the county guard Ruan Lu and the Northern Song County ordered Chen Xiang to "bring the crowd to watch", and finally because of the cliff high road danger. clouds and rain are obscure", no results, disappointed. Chen Xiang still sighed: "Last year, I read the Wei Qiang map, and there was an immortal ancient seal book. There is no way to the dry foot stone rock. I don't know how the word tadpole is like ......" On January 16, 1985, the Taizhou cultural relics survey and acceptance team used a 28-200 mm zoom camera to take long-distance photos and zoom in on the cliff face, decomposing it point by point, and there seemed to be traces. On May 26, 1994, the expedition team organized by the "Anzhou Film Art Society" hired Pan Yulong, a mountaineer who is said to have been collecting rare medicinal herbs for three generations and has many years of experience in cliff climbing, to hang down from the top of the cliff and take many physical photos less than one meter from the high cliff face. According to Pan Yulong's narration and from the photos taken, the tadpole cliff face is smooth and sharp, about 40 meters long, about 50 meters wide, and it is a regular rectangle, with an area of nearly 2,000 square meters. The cliff face of the cliff is hard and full of protruding hemispheres, which are about 5 centimeters higher than the cliff plane and 7-12 centimeters in diameter. At the edge of each hemisphere, there is a small circular groove about 2 cm deep. The hemispheres are separated by about 15 centimeters, and are arranged in an orderly manner vertically and horizontally, with traces of the sun, moon, insect patterns and marine creatures. After the results of the expedition were revealed. There is a lot of interest among scholars at home and abroad. But the conclusions are mixed. Limited by the times and conditions, of course, it is impossible for the things raised by Zhou Tingwei to be preserved to this day. The author has personally seen the precious photos taken by the "Anzhou Film and Art Society", but because of the short-sightedness, I can't interpret it, and I only feel that it is a white and pasty cliff and rock face. Cangjie book, Xia Yu book, Hongyan Tianshu, Bashu symbols, Dongba characters, 岣嵝 tablet, Yelang Tianshu, Xianju tadpole text these eight kinds of writing, from the time of discovery, Xianju's tadpole text is the earliest, in the Southern Dynasty Sun said that China's first local chronicle "Linhai Ji" said that Weiqiang Mountain "has a stone wall, and the words are like tadpoles". In the twenty-four histories, the "Song Book and Prefecture County Chronicles" is also called "Tianmu Mountain is connected with Kuocang Mountain, and there is a journal on the stone wall, which is high and unreadable." "In terms of the difficulty of interpretation, only the tadpole text is the most. The other seven kinds of characters are either stored in books, or present in unearthed artifacts, or written in wood and stone, or engraved on stone tablets, or engraved on stone walls, all of which are obvious to all. However, only the tadpole text is confusing, and it has not yet seen a copy of its seal text. Related controversies It is said that the cliff wall that stands on the Danzhu Township of Xianju County, Zhejiang Province, is covered with artificially engraved sun, moon, insect patterns, fish patterns and other bizarre patterns and symbols, some people say, that is the tadpole stone carving left in the south when the legend of Dayu ruled the water...... In May, the mountains of Zhejiang are full of water vapor and the smell of the sun, and summer is really coming as scheduled. I traveled with two dozen young men from two wilderness clubs in Ningbo and Wuxi to find the tadpole cliff with the legendary tadpole inscription carved into the tadpole script. It is said that the mountain cliff stands in the Danzhu Township of Xianju County, Zhejiang Province, the cliff wall is covered with the strange patterns and symbols such as the sun pattern, the moon pattern, the insect pattern, the fish pattern and so on, some people say that it is the tadpole stone carving left in the south when the legend of Dayu ruled the water. Only one of the people in the group had been to the place we were going to, and he was telling a story with his eyebrows fluttering: "I have been to Danzhu Township twice, and the second time I asked a local to take me up the mountain, which was very dangerous, and there was no way to get to the top unless you use climbing tools, and it was difficult to climb to the top of the mountain unless you used climbing tools." It is said that only local medicine pickers know the way up the mountain! The words of the young man drove the young man's heart into a state of excitement, and everyone exuded their determination not to give up until they reached the top of the mountain. The place we are going to is Weiqiang Mountain, a branch of the Kuocang Mountains in Zhejiang Province, the first local chronicle of our country written by Sun Shu of the Southern Dynasty "Linhai Ji" has written that Weiqiang Mountain "has a stone wall, and the word is like a tadpole", and the "Song Book Zhou County Chronicles" in the 24th history also wrote: "Tianmu Mountain is connected with Kuocang Mountain, and there is a tadpole shape on the stone wall, which is unrecognizable. So what is tadpole text? Before leaving, I looked through some paleographic materials, and found that there are not many tadpole texts in philology, and the common ones are "bird and insect books". The so-called bird and insect book is to add animal images such as insects, fish, and birds to the strokes of the characters, such as adding accessories such as antennae, fish heads, wings, and bird heads. The Book of Birds and Insects was one of the six scripts (i.e., six scripts) in ancient Chinese writing before the unification of the script by Qin Shi Huang, and was used to write on the banner of conveying orders, and because of the complex strokes, it was difficult to imitate, so it had the effect of secrecy. After the Han Dynasty, bird and insect books mainly appeared in seals and became full art characters. The tadpole script is named because of the thick head and thin tail resembling a tadpole, so it is also a kind of bird and insect book, and from the perspective of philology, whether the tadpole script is considered a text is still a question. Confusing Chen Ruishan, a retired primary school teacher in Shangren Village, Danzhu Township, is a capable old man who tirelessly takes us around. "That's Tadpole Cliff!" He pointed to a mountain peak in the clouds in the distance. We struggled to identify tadpole cliffs among seven or eight similarly shaped peaks. Its altitude is relatively not too high, about 800 meters, the slopes below it are overgrown with subtropical jungle plants, tadpole cliff is actually a hard rock with no plants on the top of the mountain, its side is as vertical and steep as a knife, the legendary tadpole text is carved on the cliff face. The people of Danzhu Township regard Tadpole Cliff as their pride. That night, I read in the "Agricultural Diary" of the head of Danzhu Township: "...... The topography of the township is high in the south and low in the north, the scenery is beautiful, it is the key township of forestry and tourism in the county, and there are the mystery of the ancient tadpole text, Tianzhu rock ......". The 75-year-old man of Sangin Village came to talk to us. He is the person in the village who knows the tadpole cliff in the most detail, he said that there used to be a talented man in Xiazhu Village, not far from Shangren Village, who was erudite and knowledgeable, and once asked someone to extend the words on the tadpole cliff, and he studied those rubbings all his life until he was 90 years old. He only passed on a ballad to his descendants, and the last of his descendants died 30 years ago, and his house, which houses tadpole cliff rubbings, was burned down when it was "**" dilapidated to the four olds. In other words, there is no elaborate "evidence" for the local tadpole text. The next day, we split into two teams and were led up the mountain by two guides each. The guide had a machete in his hand and we had crutches in our hands. Fortunately, the mountain is full of foliage plants, and the air is cool and humid under the dense foliage. We went up the mountain without a road, and after 3 hours, we were close to the top. In fact, we can't get to the top of the mountain, which is the top of the tadpole cliff, and that would have to go around another mountain to get there. The closest observation point we had to Tadpole Cliff was 50 meters to the lower left. When viewed with the naked eye, we can only see a distinctly rectangular frame on the cliff face, as if it was deliberately hewn out. We set up high-powered telescopes, and more than 20 people took turns to observe. But I didn't see anything, really, the lens was gray, only a flat, bare rock. We found that the rocks near the observation point resembled the stones in the Weiqiang River, and their surface was also pimple, rough like walnut skin in some places, and regular like sarcoma on the head of the Buddha in others. We filmed them all, and the mystery in our minds became clearer: this so-called "tadpole cliff" may be a naturally formed rock wall, for some reason with a regular spherical structure, and the locals have artificially carved a frame on it, and attached it to the tadpole legend...... Tadpole Cliff But if Tadpole Cliff is really a natural formation, why are there so many ancient legends about tadpole scripts circulating in the local area? Why do the locals have a mysterious, awe-inspiring expression when they talk about tadpole texts? A year later, I happened to read a book called "Going to Loulan", which included this passage: "...... Sima Yan is grieving for a batch of bamboo slips unearthed during the Warring States period. These bamboo slips are the 'Jizun Family Letters', and it is said in ancient times that they were all written in tadpole characters, and they were passed to Sima Yan 500 years later. He took out the fragments from the secret mansion and asked the scholars to 'correct the order of fixation, search for the examination and point out', and then transcribe them in the words of the time. Zhang Hua was Sima Yan's famous minister, and he was extremely enthusiastic about this matter of embellishing tadpole texts. He and Suo Jing hit it off at first sight and were the closest friends. And Suo Jing is in Dunhuang precisely because he knows the text of birds, beasts, insects, seals, and tadpoles. He wrote a book in Dunhuang and said: Cangjie, the creator of the Yellow Emperor, once wrote a book deed, and the word is a tadpole bird seal. That kind of word, similar to the pictogram, wise and flexible, and ingenious. However, because of the advocating of simplicity, it was later damaged when it became the official script. ……“ "Ji Mound Family Book" is in 281 A.D. (the second year of Taikang in the Western Jin Dynasty), a person called "not allowed" in Ji County, Henan Province stole and excavated dozens of cars of ancient books written in bamboo slips in a cemetery of the Weiguo Xiang royal family during the Warring States Period, "The Biography of Mu Tianzi" is one of them. "The Biography of Mu Tianzi" is written in tadpole script, which shows that tadpole script is not just a kind of art word, it used to be a kind of text with the same function as Xiao Seal and Lishu, and its reading and writing method contains twists and turns and mysteries that are difficult for people to interpret today. Since tadpole script is a profound ancient script, the worship of tadpole script by the residents of Danzhu Township is not a tree without roots. Writing is inextricably linked to the inheritance of civilization. Legend has it that the tadpole text on the tadpole cliff represents a stop of ancient civilization in the local people's minds, and tracing the footprints of ancestors has always been something that Chinese and even people around the world strive for. Searching for answers So I wondered, are the traces on the tadpole cliffs naturally generated? What is the connection between the tadpole inscription on it and the tadpole inscription on the "Kizuka Family Book"? Chen Anze, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, explained to me the origin of the strange-looking stones on the Weiqiang Mountain and in the Weiqiang River. He said the stones were a typical acidic volcanic rock that can be found everywhere in the mountainous areas of Zhejiang Province. The scientific name of this type of volcanic rock is "stone bubble rhyolite", and its stone bubble structure is the spherical protrusion on the surface of the tadpole cliff rock that we see. Obviously, the tadpole cliffs have been determined to be naturally formed, but I still don't dare to conclude that the locals are "fake". Because the feelings that flow from the eyes of the villagers are sincere, and the records in the history books are also true, the question is, what kind of connection does there exist between this naturally formed tadpole cliff and the tadpole text? So I knocked on the door of Mr. He Zhenming, a scholar from Peking University who was mentioned many times in the tadpole text in the book "Going to Loulan". After looking at the photos, Mr. He said that this is a typical volcanic rock, but the box is artificially chiseled out and is a "dumb word". The Truth Revealed In ancient times, human beings did not have language, and when they needed to communicate with each other, they used gestures and expressions to express themselves. For example, when two tribes meet, if one of the tribes throws a fruit to the other, it is friendly, and if it is a stone, it means, "Go away, or I will hit you!" This is mute, a language that uses images and feelings to express meaning. "Why is Tadpole Cliff dumb?" I asked. "The naturally occurring rocks are covered with tadpole-like bumps, which reminds the ancestors who passed by or settled here in ancient times that they have been unable to let go of a long-lasting past, that is, their ancestors came from the Yellow River Valley. That is, the Yellow River is their mother. The ancients said that the Yellow River was a 'river' and that of a mother was a 'mother'. When the ancients expressed 'the Yellow River is our mother', it was enough to just say the word 'river mother'. In the language of the Yellow River Basin, that is, when the local dialect of Shaanxi is now spoken of 'Hema', the pronunciation becomes 'huoma', and this pronunciation happens to be the pronunciation of 'toad' in Shaanxi vernacular, and 'tadpole' is the descendant of 'toad', thus metaphorically referring to ———We humans are the descendants of 'Hema'...... We are the descendants of 'huo ma'——— we are 'tadpoles'. This is the mute phrase, the ancients carved a frame in the tadpole-shaped rock wall to remind future generations to remember that they are the descendants of the 'river mother' and that their ancestors came from the Yellow River Valley. "So is this the tadpole text recorded in the history books?" "Yes or no. Yes, it is because the tadpole inscription mentioned in the ancient book itself contains the above-mentioned mute elements. The reason why tadpole script is called tadpole script is because it is shaped like tadpole, and when the ancients made such writing, it was to convey the message of the mute language mentioned above——— that is our ancestors were people from the Yellow River Valley. In a sense, the tadpole cliff in Danzhu Township is the tadpole text in the real sense. "I say no, because the tadpole script in the ancient book is a real text, with pronunciation and meaning. This script appeared on bronzes and bamboo slips from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. "Actually, the tadpole script is a variant of the Qulu script, a kind of note-taking text that records the natural sciences of astronomy at that time. Tadpole inscriptions or deluwen are both derived from oracle bone inscriptions, which are variants of oracle bone inscriptions. During the reign of King Wen of Zhou, the oracle bone inscription was converted into many scripts, including the Qulu script and the tadpole script, and spread to the people, and the purpose of the conversion was to better preserve the information contained in the oracle bone inscription. However, since Qin Shi Huang unified the script, the tadpole script was forbidden to circulate, so a large number of documents were concentrated in the Loulan area during the Western Han Dynasty, and the main text in those documents was to go to Lu or tadpole script. "The tadpole texts that were forbidden to circulate were later circulated to the people in the form of manuscripts, and some were even converted into Buddhist cave statues, and the information in the documents was preserved in the form of dumb words, and the rectangular frame on the tadpole cliff in Danzhu Township may have been engraved at that time, and the information it expressed was to indicate that our ancestors came from the Yellow River Valley in the form of mute words, and the real history of our civilization began from there, although Mr. He Zhenming's explanation is unheard of. But after all, my doubts about the tadpole cliff in Danzhu Township were successfully solved. First, the tadpole-like bumps on tadpole cliffs are naturally occurring; Second, the rectangular frame on the tadpole cliff was deliberately chiseled by the ancients, and their intention came from a distant and unspeakable history, although to this day, this history is only hidden among the people as an "undercurrent", but this history is real. At this time, I thought of the description of tadpoles in Jin Yong's novel "Chivalrous Journey". Aren't the martial arts masters in the novel who are literate and hyphenated and strong in martial arts just obsessed with the "literal" meaning of tadpole text and are puzzled? Shi Potian can't read the big characters, but he understands the secret of the tadpole text with his feelings and glyphs. This public case is similar to the "tadpole text" we saw with our own eyes! 岣嵝碑edit Introduction 岣嵝碑 岣嵝碑 (ɡǒu lǒu bēi) alias Yu Wang Monument, Dayu Meritorious Monument, originally engraved in Hunan Province Nanyue Heng Mountain 岣嵝峰, so called "岣嵝 Monument", the original trace has disappeared for thousands of years. Kunming, Chengdu, Shaoxing and Xi'an Stele Forest and other places have facsimile carvings. The words are like Miao seals, and they are like talismans. According to legend, it was written by Xia Yu, but it was actually a pseudo-trust for later generations. The original has been lost for thousands of years. It was rediscovered in early July 2007 and has now become a key cultural relics protection object in Hunan Province. According to legend, this monument is to praise the relics of Xia Yu, and is also known as "Yu Monument", "Yu King Monument", "Yu Meritorious Monument". The earliest records of the monument were found in Luo Han's "Xiangzhong Ji" and Zhao Ye's "Wu Yue Chunqiu"; Subsequently, Li Daoyuan's "Notes on the Water Classic", Xu Lingqi's "Nanyue Ji", and Wang Xiangzhi's "Records of the Victory" are all described. Strange Monument Life History ■ Strange Monument Life History: Where Did It Come From and Where to Hide Legend Legend has Dayu to control the water, and once "succeeded in carving Shiheng Mountain", leaving the legend of "Monument". The stele says that it is in Hunan Hengshan Zhurong Peak (also known as 岣嵝峰), and one says that it is in Hengshan County's Yunmi Peak. The Tang Dynasty essayist Han Yu once wrote a poem for this monument and deeply regretted that he did not know the traces of this monument. However, Han Yu's poem is not recorded in his writings. Ouyang Xiu and Zhao Mingcheng, the famous gold and stone masters of the Song Dynasty, once searched all over the world for famous inscriptions and compiled them into a document, and there was no record of "岣嵝碑" in the text. During the Jiading period of the Song Dynasty (about the 13th century AD), this stele was suddenly discovered, and some of its characters have large strokes and small tails, so some people think that it is an ancient tadpole text; Some characters have more curved strokes, and some people conclude that they are insects and birds; There are also those who break the word for the big seal. But no one could decipher it. During the reign of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, the literati Zhang Su brought the text rubbings of the "Monument" back to Yunnan and gave it to Yang Shen, a scholar who was in Yunnan. He researched and translated all the inscriptions. Scholars at that time, such as Shen Yi, Yang Shiqiao, and Lang Ying, all deciphered the inscriptions. To the effect that Dayu accepted the task of water control handed over by Shun, the leader of the tribal alliance, after hardships and hardships, he successfully channeled the water into the sea and subdued the flood. Since then, the "Monument" has become famous, and it has been copied and engraved in the famous rivers and mountains in various places. Kunming, Yunnan, Chengdu, Sichuan, Changsha, Hunan, Xi'an, Jixian, Henan, Hanyang, Hubei and other places have carved stone tablets. Whether the "Monument" is an engraved stone in Xia Yu has been debated endlessly throughout the ages. Yang Shen and Yang Shiqiao in the Ming Dynasty, Li Fan and Mao Huijian in the Qing Dynasty, etc., deciphered on one side and engraved on the other, which is to believe in it. Wang Chang of the Qing Dynasty, who held a different opinion, proposed in the "Jinshi Cui Compilation": "This tablet began to come out of the Southern Song Dynasty, so Ou (Yang Xiu) and Zhao (Mingcheng) were not recorded, and later researchers such as Yang Shen ...... They were convinced. The rest are all denounced as fakes, and there is no conclusive evidence today." There is no evidence to prove that this tablet is the text of Xia Yu. People were skeptical of Yang Shen. Historians believe that Yang Shen's way of learning is: a good scholar wants to win others, and even relies on fabrication. Judging from the development process of Chinese characters, it is impossible for this script to appear in the Xia Dynasty, and it is extremely likely to be forged. Rediscovery In early July 2007, Hunan cultural relics experts preliminarily determined that the boulder weighing about 10 tons found on Nanyue Hengshan was indeed the mother of the Yuwang tablet that had been missing for thousands of years. Searching for relevant information confirms that this boulder is consistent with historical materials from its location, shape, size and surrounding environment, and it is indeed the mother of the Yuwang tablet that has been missing for thousands of years. This piece of "treasure of Zhenshan", which was once Nanyue Hengshan, was finally rediscovered after many years of dust. [2] According to historical records, the Yuwang stele is the oldest famous inscription in our country, and the stele is engraved with a peculiar ancient seal inscription, which is divided into 9 lines and a total of 77 characters. The Yuwang tablet font on the Yunlu Peak in Changsha, Hunan Province is strange and ancient, like a curled tadpole, difficult to decipher, the famous historian, oracle bone inscription expert Guo Moruo studied for 3 years and only knew 3 words. Legend inscription records and praises the great achievements of Yu to control the water, for a merit tablet, in fact, this tablet is the Song Dynasty people from Hengshan to expand the replica. The real Yuwang monument Tang Dynasty is still in Hengshan, Han Yu, Liu Yuxi Fu poems, once known as Nanyue's "treasure of the mountain". But since the Song Dynasty, it has mysteriously disappeared. When was the monument of King Yu erected? Where is Hengshan? What exactly is written in the inscription?" Finding the disappeared Yuwang Monument" has become a century-old problem that the literary and historical circles and archaeological circles have diligently tried to solve, and it has become a topic that millions of tourists who come to Hengshan talk about. In the field of cultural relics protection, Yuwang Monument and the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, Yandi Mausoleum are the three major treasures of the Chinese nation. As early as the eighties to the early nineties of the last century, in Hengshan County, Futianpu Township, Yunfeng Village, seven groups found a boulder suspected of Yuwang stele, the stone weighs about 10 tons, there is an irregular intersection of two planes, slightly concave to the middle, there are irregular ornaments on the surface, and artificial chisel marks are clearly visible. Due to lack of discovery, the boulder was built into the wall by a farmer during the construction of his house. In 2007, the film crew of CCTV's "All Over China" column came to Nanyue Hengshan to visit the "Yuwang Monument", and the Nanyue District Cultural Relics Management Office Kuang Guanghui's old man followed up for many years to make this major discovery. This place is located on the right side of Zhurong Peak, there is Zigai Peak on the right, there is Yunmi Peak on the left, there is a dragon between the two peaks, there is Yinzhen Temple, Yinzhen Ping, there is Yunfeng Temple (destroyed during **), Yuwang Bridge, Yuxi. According to the relevant historical records, the statement of King Yu's monument in this place is true. The site of Yuwang Tablet has now become a key cultural relics protection object in Hunan Province. When he traveled to Nanyue in the fifth year of Jiading in the Southern Song Dynasty (1212), the full text of Lintuo was reproduced in the Yunlu Peak of Yuelu Mountain in Changsha. In the Ming Dynasty, Changsha Taishou Pan Yi found this monument in Yuelu Mountain, spread all over the place, and since then the monument has been famous all over the world; Later, Dali in Yunnan, Beichuan in Sichuan, Qixia Mountain in Nanjing, Jiangsu, Yuzhou in Henan, Xi'an Stele Forest in Shaanxi, Shaoxing in Zhejiang, and Wuhan in Hubei have all been re-engraved; Ming Dynasty scholars Yang Shen and Shen Yi all have interpretations. ● Ming Jiajing fifteenth year (1536) winter, Zhang Su (Zhang Biquan) brought back to Yunnan the "Monument" rubbing, and then engraved in the east of Anning County Luoyang Mountain Fahua Temple stone wall, for the cliff stone carving; ● Shaoxing, Zhejiang, stored in the Shaoxing Yu Temple Tablet Pavilion, Ming Jiajing 20 years (1541) Shaoxing prefect Zhang Mingdao according to the Yuelu Academy rubbing, for the inscription; ● Sichuan Mingquan County Jiulong Mountain Yu Temple stele pavilion (1561 erection), for the inscription; ● Nanjing, Jiangsu, located in Qixia Mountain Tiankai Rock side, Mingshenzong Wanli 32 years in February (1609) the left servant Lang Yang Shiqiao carved here, for the cliff stone carving; ● During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, it was engraved in Ji County, Henan; ● During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, Mao Hui was built in Xi'an Mansion and the Guide Mansion Department successively engraved the Yuwang Monument. Yuelu Mountain Yuwang Tablet is located in the Yuelu Mountain Scenic Area in Changsha, Hunan Province Yunlu Peak left side of the stone wall, facing the east and standing, belongs to the cliff stone carving, for the Southern Song Dynasty Jiading five years to copy the carving. In the thirtieth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1551), Changsha Taishou Zhang Ximing had both the stele pavilion, and the Ming Chongzong three years (1630) the Bingdao Shi Weiyue rebuilt the pavilion and added the stone fence; During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, Zhou Zhaonan and Ding Sikong rebuilt. On the two sides of the stele, there are Liu Runan of the Ming Dynasty Criminal Department "Praise Shen Yu Tablet Song", and Ouyang Zhenghuan of the Qing Dynasty "Daguan" stone carving; In 1935, Zhou Han rebuilt and engraved the amount of "Yu Monument". After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Hunan Provincial People's Committee designated it as a key cultural relics protection unit in Hunan Province. Yuelu Mountain Yuwang Tablet Specific content The inscription has a total of 77 words, 9 lines, the first to eight lines are 9 words per line, and the last line is 5 words. The glyph is like a tadpole, which is different from the oracle bone and Zhong Dingwen, and also different from the tadpole in the Zhou script. Some people speculate that it may be a kind of Taoist talisman, and some say that it is forged by Taoist priests. Because of its peculiar text, the past dynasties have different views on its content, in ancient times, it was believed that it was the content of recording the water control of Yu, and some scholars believed that the "Yu Monument" was not a Yu Monument. For example, Cao Jinyan believes that the monument is a eulogy for Zhu Ju, the prince of Yue in the Warring States Period, on behalf of his father, King Yue, who did not live long and went to Nanyue to sacrifice to the mountain. Liu Zhiyi believes that the monument was erected in 611 BC (the third year of King Chuzhuang), and the content is to praise the historical process and merits of King Chuzhuang's destruction of Yongguo.

Ma Heshan thinks: The text on the [岣嵝碑] looks much more mature and progressive than the oracle bone inscription, why is there such a great contrast, the Xia Dynasty text should be more primitive than the Shang Dynasty text is still backward, in fact, this is just the general situation of the development of things, sometimes there are special circumstances, the Shang clan is a clan living in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, the number is very small, there is no writing and no culture, it is a very backward clan, with the Xuanniao {swallow} as the totem, and the dragon as the totem of the large population of the Xia clan is not the same, The Xia nation has entered the era of agriculture and hundred workers, and the corresponding writing culture and civilization have reached a high degree of development, from the beginning of the Yellow Emperor's Cangjie character creation, to the fall of the Xia Dynasty, there have been 13,400 years, the writing is very developed, it is a matter of course. Merchants are not, they don't like words, they are only good at running around on horseback, from the founding of the country to the relocation of the capital to Yinxu, the merchant's writing has not been created, and they have to use the folk style of the Xia clan, and those wizards of the Shang Dynasty, the people who write on the oracle bones, the people who engrave the words, I speculate that they are all served by the Xia people. The times are developing, but the civilization of written culture is stagnant, which is very similar to the rule of the later Yuan Dynasty. This is the real reason why the official script of the Cheng Xia Dynasty is more mature and progressive than the folk script of the Shang Dynasty.

It is difficult for even the most authoritative archaeologists and cultural scholars to come up with an accurate translation, but it is not difficult to continue conjecture and decipher. Inscription From the historical level, we may be able to infer that the more credible historical research is that the area of Dayu's water control is about the east of Hebei, the east of Henan, the west and south of Shandong, and the north of the Huai River. After thousands of years, as the most revered idol among the ancient great men of our country, the folk everywhere retain the relics and rumors about Dayu: there are Yu ruins and Yu Wang Palace in Huaiyuan County, Anhui, there are Yumen in Hancheng County, Shaanxi, and there are Yu Gongji at the eastern end of the Guishan Mountain in Wuhan, Hubei...... It is not difficult to understand that the inscription of King Yu on the top of Yuelu Mountain in Changsha can be ranked among the "Dayu water control theory". However, Liu Zhiyi, a scholar from Zhuzhou, began to call for this "authority" in 1990: the inscription on the tablet of King Yu is to praise the merits of King Chuzhuang. Interpretation ■Paraphrasing of the point of view: According to experts, although the Yuwang tablet has gone through thousands of years, but there is still no conclusive conclusion, and now there are several statements that can form a family, among which Yang Shen of the Ming Dynasty, contemporary scholars Cao Jinyan, Liu Zhiyi's interpretation is more representative.

Zhuzhou scholar Liu Zhiyi: Praise the merits of King Chuzhuang Liu Zhiyi, formerly an expert in literature and history of Zhuzhou Institute of Technology, has a deep study of ancient characters. The content of the inscription he deciphered is to praise the historical process and merits of King Chuzhuang's destruction of Yongguo, and believes that the tablet of King Yu should be erected in 611 BC (the third year of King Chuzhuang). Hangzhou scholar Cao Jinyan: Imperial Eulogy Cao Jinyan, a contemporary scholar, believes that the Yuwang Tablet is the Zhu Ju, the prince of Yue in the Warring States Period, representing the eulogy of his father Yue Wang Bushou to go to Nanyue Mountain. [People's voice] Changsha teacher Tong Wenjie: Yu water control Tong Wenjie, a retired teacher in Changsha, deciphered the content and the Ming Dynasty Yang Shen is similar, all show that the inscription of Yuwang tablet is "Yu water control" said. Zhou Kunsheng, an old man in Changsha: It is related to the words used in Taoism (Zhou Kunsheng, an octogenarian man, likes to read newspapers. Around 1946, he accidentally found the newspaper Wei Yin's "Yuelu Mountain Yu Tablet Study" and preserved it. The article lists two versions of Yang Shen and Shen Yi in the Ming Dynasty. However, Zhou Weng personally believes that the Taoist priest used words similar to the strokes and glyphs of the inscription. It is recommended to decipher the inscription, and you can ask for Taoist help.

"I can still recite the eulogy that has been handed down from the inscription."

Similar symbols were used in ancient Confucian texts. )
