Chapter 118 It's hard not to rub your little hands
Lu Pianqi didn't let Emperor Shang wait too long, after all, Emperor Shang's appearance of constantly stretching out his hand and scratching the back of his head really seemed to be embarrassing in his current state.
Indeed, although this guy has caused many people to lose their jobs and caused his mental state to be abnormal, you have to investigate it in the end, and it is not his own fault.
What's wrong with being born talented?
What's wrong with not wanting to use that talent?
Is this kind of talent urgent and scarce in this country?
It seems to be, and it doesn't seem to be. So, in the end, Emperor Shang is now, there is nothing wrong.
But the root cause of everything is caused by Emperor Shang, and he will feel embarrassed, which is also right.
"I'm here to ask you just two words."
"Senior sister, please." Emperor Shang was relieved.
With such an identity and such a state of senior sister standing in front of her, it really makes people feel that they can't ignore her, and if they ignore her, they will lose their conscience even more.
"Will you still go back to archaeology and translation, that is, pure linguistics?"
"Probably not." Emperor Shang subconsciously looked into the house. According to St. Sophia's plan, that is to go towards the path of the gods, you said that you want to go back to pure language, do you dislike St. Sophia's lack of votes from the United States, or do you feel that you are too comfortable to live forever?
"Okay." Lu Pianqi nodded. "Then the second sentence, Emperor Shang, are you really born to know?"
In order to keep Emperor Shang back then, she and her master did not thoroughly investigate Emperor Shang's background, and naturally knew that Emperor Shang suffered a great disaster when he was four years old.
A baby whose mind was like a blank slate at the age of four suddenly showed a talent that no professional, even a gifted person, could attain at the age of twenty.
This is no longer a problem that a child prodigy can explain.
Even in ancient China, so many prodigies recorded in history books are at most the ability to cover monuments, and in popular terms, they are unforgettable.
The world is not without such people.
Hyperamnesia, not only words, but also pictures, sounds, and even smells will be firmly engraved in the brain, and even the brain cannot actively block those unpleasant memories.
But there are no people like Emperor Xiang Shang who are beyond their cognition.
If Emperor Shang said that he learned these words by himself, it would be impossible.
"Not count." Shang Di thought for a moment and replied affirmatively.
Indeed, he now seems to know the languages of seven or eight countries on the surface, but in fact he has all the sound and writing tools that are born of human consciousness, which is very much like the expression of a person born to know.
But not yet.
His ability, if you want to count it reluctantly, can only be said to be a gift from God, some kind of "ability".
"But if I want to say purely about language, I can only say that no matter what language I speak, it is as smooth as my mother tongue, and that's it."
"So Senior Sister, are you relieved?"
"Sure enough." Lu Pianqi nodded, still staring at Emperor Shang with a pretty face, "If I said that I need you to attend the official excavation ceremony of the ancient tomb in three months, will you come?" ”
"Tombs? What else can be better than the Peiligang Cultural Site? And the old man of Sanxingdui doesn't seem to have figured it out yet, right? ”
For archaeology, the water is very deep.
For the average person, you know that as long as the cultural relics are more than 5,000 years old, they have no research value in the literal sense.
Because most of the unearthed are practical utensils such as bone flutes and pottery shards, you can dig them out of the ground only to show that there were human gatherings in this place during this time period.
If you know a little bit about geography other than what the textbooks teach you, you will know that 11,000 years ago the New Fairy Wood Incident caused the originally habitable place to be covered with ice and snow, and at that time humans already knew how to eat, hunting skills were in full swing, they could already develop their stone axes in the direction of beauty, and even learned how to farm the land in a superficial way.
It's not normal that you can pull out something that is rough-worked.
So, why do you say that the time of the birth of civilization is determined by words, rather than the degree of aggregation of unearthed objects?
Herein lies the problem.
Whether it is Sanxingdui or Pei Ligang, there is no text in the unearthed things.
Even the Xia Dynasty, an important turning point from the tribal system to the state system, and the current Huaxia's own dynastic repair project, the things dug up, also have no words.
You might even think that the humans in these places are communicating with Aba Aba's cries and gestures.
There are no written records of the ancient tombs, no matter how many are unearthed, Emperor Shang is too lazy to take a look.
Sporadic, non-fragmented symbolic depictions are not words.
Your Argentine hand hole, the history of human handprints left by more than 12,000 years, useful? Mao's research value is not there, so let's just give tourists a little more knowledge.
Just as modern humans don't have nothing to do and treat fossilized shells less than 500,000 years old as treasures.
It's worthless, and if you dig it, you can dig it.
It is of little use to the ancients, to the study, to the history of mankind.
At this moment, Lu Pianqi shook his head and said to Emperor Shang, "The tomb opened this time is about 15,000 years ago, far from all the tombs of Chinese archaeology before. In addition, on the stone tablets unearthed so far, there are large symbolic depictions that are suspected of writing. These symbols, unlike any previous records of suspected writing, are extremely numerous, roughly numbered, about more than 3,000. ”
Emperor Shang gasped.
Three thousand symbols?
I'm thinking, it's a language that is about to go to heaven.
Cuneiform writing, 5000~6000 years ago, the Sumerian common script, originally there were about 4000, and then only 400 were improved after the 10th century.
Egyptian hieroglyphs, more than 5,000 years ago, the priest's sacrificial writing, originally created about a thousand more, and then expanded to more than 5,000, after the occupation of various forces, no one in modern Egypt can understand this thing.
The oracle bone inscription, about 3,800 years ago, can be regarded as a pictogram of writing in Huaxia, and the number of the same creation is about 4,000.
In other words, 4,000 commonly used words, which are the innate conditions for the formation of a language.
The number of words and words is less than 2,000, and it is difficult to communicate in daily life.
Why do you think the occasional unearthed pottery with old symbols is not recognized as writing?
That's because hundreds of the same things have been dug up, just one or two with symbols, and it's hard not to think that they are the marks that the person left behind as their own possessions.
Without an instrument that contains more than 100 different symbols, it is impossible to confirm that a symbol is a language.
Now, my senior sister is standing in front of us and telling us that we may have dug up a real language?
With a yearning for the unknown and the possible treasures, it's hard not to rub your hands.
