Dialogue between ancient and modern: I create programs, national treasures have spirits

Chapter 135 Calligraphy and painting have the same origin civilization dawn
"There was a long period of time before Oracle, which was forgotten by later generations.

Some people call it the prehistoric stage of writing, or the early writing stage. "

The scenery changes around Yi Ze.

The sharp-eyed audience discovered that this was no longer the Yin Ruins.

It is located deep in the mountains.

Where is this place?

What kind of secrets lie on the ordinary rocks and rocks.

Yi Ze is like an ascetic monk, walking alone in the picture full of historical meaning.

"In 1969, in Helan Mountain, someone accidentally discovered an amazing scene in the mountain."

As Yi Ze's voice fell to the ground, a phantom appeared on the screen.

This is Helan Mountain, a remote mountain with few people.

As the camera zoomed in, the audience was surprised to find out.

Unexpected scenes appeared on the originally ordinary rocky walls.

There are various human faces lined up on the hundreds of meters of rocks.

These ancient and complex portraits bring extraordinary visual impact to the audience.

What is the meaning of these mysterious patterns?

With the change of perspective, similar petroglyphs were also found on the boundless Gobi Desert in Zhongwei Damaidi.

"The petroglyphs in Damaidi are more than 7000 years old.

Its appearance has caused a sensation at home and abroad, and at the same time, it has also sparked more intense discussions in the field of the origin of characters. "

Yi Ze's words were plain and true, this time, he did not return to that ancient era.

Instead, it takes the audience together to find the secret of the origin of words in an exploratory way.

The joy of exploration exists in everyone's heart.

Although the Chinese have been criticized for not having the so-called adventurous spirit,

But they are curious about secrets and exploring the world, but they are not lacking at all.

Many people seem to have no desire to learn, just because there is no one to lead them along.

As for the high-tech fields, ordinary people are completely unable to understand them.

The long and boring historical field is daunting.

Yi Ze understands very well that history seems quite mysterious, but it is quite boring to really study it.

In the pursuit of lightweight and fast-paced modern society, it is almost impossible for a person to settle down to understand the boring history.

This is also the reason why many historical marketing accounts can become popular.

What people care about is not the correctness of history, but the interestingness of history. If there are gossip and rumors about historical celebrities and unofficial legends, it will naturally be more attractive.

Of course, there are also the so-called whitewashing contrasts, the ten philosophers of the net temple and so on.

For example, it is widely rumored on the Internet that Emperor Sui Yang, the first emperor through the ages, and Shang Zhou, the last human emperor, and so on.

Very domineering title + subversive cognition + majestic soundtrack = "historical truth".

Yi Ze once conducted an in-depth study of the reasons why marketing accounts are popular.

Then found that the principle is very simple.

The audience of these so-called ten philosophies of Wangmiao is basically a group of young people with personal heroism who have little understanding of history, that is, rebellious teenagers.

They only knew the names of these people, and then saw some comments in history textbooks.

For example, King Zhou of Shang, Emperor Yang of Sui, etc., are basically classified as tyrants in history textbooks.

Then when they turned on Douyin, they found that the "truth" of the matter was completely different from the textbook.

Out of rebellious psychology, or simply want to chat with friends to brag about their knowledge, these strange remarks will be accepted by them.

After all, what's the point of saying that everyone knows that?
If you want to say it, you have to say what everyone doesn't know.

The words are not amazing and die endlessly!
As for who is Emperor Sui Yang?

That's no big deal, let's finish pretending first.

As for those who believe in the ten philosophers of Wangmiao as the truth,

Yi Ze just wants to say one thing: the ignorant are fearless.

Of course, it is generally impossible to argue with them.

Because they don't listen at all, and if they speak in a hurry, they will throw out a "famous book". After a closer look, it turns out that it is an online novel that attracts attention with subversion.

Therefore, in the original intention of Yi Ze's program, there are eight characters.

The firepower is passed down from generation to generation, and we keep flying forward.

Inheritance is the foundation, and striving is the goal.

If the fire was passed on by mistake, and the wrong things were passed down, then I guess it would not be Fenfei.

directly into the soil.

Just like many people question the history of their own country because foreign countries do not recognize the existence of the Xia Dynasty.

More or less a little serious illness.

What Yi Ze can do is to add artistic and interesting creations on the basis of correct basic historical facts.

As for the evaluation of historical figures, Yi Ze will always look at it on the basis of the majority of working people.

Those who are good to the people are good people.

If it is bad for the common people, even if it is blowing the sky, it is not a good thing.

Because, Yi Ze himself is an ordinary person.

Why do many literati praise the Song Dynasty and belittle the Ming Dynasty?

In the Song Dynasty, the status of scholar-bureaucrats was infinitely high, and they had many privileges. They were a well-known privileged class.

Of course the literati want to brag, because this is their paradise.

And Daming was a hell for scholar-bureaucrats from the beginning, and Emperor Hongwu killed scholar-bureaucrats like chopping carrots.

Scholar-bureaucrats, not to mention rich clothes and fine food, but with a little income, would be arrested and beheaded.

In this case, can the delicate scholar-officials not hate it?

Therefore, Yi Ze compared Emperor Hongwu to Qin Shihuang in the program.

An emperor through the ages, sincerely convinced.

As for the Song Dynasty, none of those emperors could see it.

Even Zhao Kuangyin, who founded the country, just inherited the legacy of his old club.

Among the many founding emperors in history, it is probably the lowest level.

This is what Yi Ze has to do.

In an interesting way, to interpret the long and boring history, the story that exists after the search for national treasures.

As for Chinese characters, there is no doubt that it is an area that is easily overlooked.

Because, it is too common.

Just like the air, it exists around us all the time.

No one will particularly care about the air around them.

The same is true for Chinese characters.

Get used to it.

Moreover, due to the influence of the general environment, the importance of foreign languages ​​is overemphasized, so that the inheritance of Chinese characters is generally showing a weakening trend.

Picking up the pen and forgetting the words, the words do not express the meaning, and even make up random things.

This is a catastrophe for Chinese characters and civilization.

What's more, there are many people who think that Chinese characters are not as good as foreign languages.

This kind of person is probably a soft bone, unable to stand up.

Servant thinking.

Good friends who don't know the big powers, has the dynasty of money rattails been completely shattered?

Yi Ze walked into the barley field, surrounded by tall rocks.

On the rocks, there are one after another unique petroglyph symbols.

Yi Ze waved his hand, and several symbols flew out from the rock painting.

"These are several symbols found in rock paintings in Damaidi. Their structure is very similar to Chinese characters."

There are more than 8000 petroglyphs in total in Damaidi.

And there are more than 500 symbols in total.

And are these petroglyphs symbols words?
If so, then the origin of Chinese characters will be pushed forward thousands of years.

"Among the more than 6000 petroglyphs in Helankou, there are nearly 400 symbols. What do these symbols express?"

Yi Ze fished out several of these symbols,

presented to the audience.

The first one, the symbol is a circle, surrounded by rays one after another, with the circle as the center radiating to the surroundings, and in the very center of the circle is a smaller dot.

The audience looked at the symbol, and the meaning of the symbol naturally emerged in their minds.

day!
The second one is three small pointed corners, similar to three triangles inserted into a rectangle.

The audience looked at these familiar symbols, even if Yi Ze didn't say it, they could understand the meaning.

Mountain!
Many of the meanings represented by these simple rock painting symbols can be found in basic correspondences in nature.

What if these pictorial symbols were connected together?

What would that be like?

For example, let’s draw the Sun and Mountain together.

What does it mean when the picture representing the sun appears to the left of the picture of the mountain?
And vice versa?

Yi Ze stretched out his hand, and the two pictorial characters were combined together.

"We often say that the sun rises from the horizon, so in the long prehistoric era, the number of words was limited, and there was no such direct way of expression, so how did the ancients express the rising or setting of the sun?"

Yi Ze's question aroused the audience's thinking.

Discussions flooded the barrage.

"Yes, I feel so powerless. If I want to write a love letter, how should I write it?"

"How could the ancients be so romantic? Aren't they all robbing?"

"Who said the ancients were not romantic? Aren't these petroglyphs romantic?"

"So, what about the rising sun? Shoot an arrow?"

"Does it rise on the left side of the mountain? Does it fall on the right side? It feels very far-fetched."

The audience talked a lot, and Yi Ze introduced new symbols again.

That's a slightly curved arrow symbol.

Then, the three symbols are combined together.

↑⊙Ш.

The audience looked at this connected symbol and naturally read its meaning.

"The sun rises on the left side of the mountain."

Yi Ze smiled and looked at the camera, "Is this right?"

"No one knows, because they are too old, and all their meanings come from the conjectures of later generations."

"However, this is the best answer right now."

The three symbols in Yi Ze's palm are clearly displayed.

Because it is a petroglyph, the lines of the three symbols are not very clear, and they are a little crooked.

"When I was in elementary school, the initial stage of children's exposure to Chinese composition was to look at pictures and talk."

Through a picture, let the children extract relevant information from the picture, and describe the meaning of the picture through their own words.

In the prehistoric period, when there was no specific written expression, people often used images to communicate or record certain things.

Scholars call such images "character paintings" or "picture characters".

"It is a saying recognized by scholars around the world that the use of pictures to convey information is the source of words."

Yi Ze explained calmly, "The ancient humans already had the ability to paint more than 2 years ago."

Behind him, paintings belonging to ancient humans appeared one after another.

On it, some are densely packed with handprints, and some are various animals.

The shape is simple and lifelike.

"Similar petroglyphs can be found in more than 150 countries and regions in the world. They use handprints or animals as objects, and draw them on rock slabs, which have been handed down to this day."

"The petroglyphs have more utilitarian purposes, such as hunting, life, reproductive worship, blessing and so on."

"In that era without words, ancient humans used pictures to express their beliefs and convey their lives."

"In ancient times, there was also a saying that calligraphy and painting have the same origin. In fact, the history of painting is far longer than the history of writing."

Vivid rock paintings were presented to the audience one after another.

These are all creations of ancient humans.

Can we say that these symbols are words?
No one dared to say that.

But say it's not a literal?

No one dared to say that.

Because its history is too long.

But these petroglyph symbols are too similar to the mature text behind them.

"We can't be sure whether these symbols are words or not. Maybe there are many things we don't know. Words have their fixed meanings and specific expressions, so they can be called words. And these, more, are Unverifiable symbology."

Although it is impossible to prove the relationship between these petroglyphs and the origin of writing, the picture shown from them is that long and distant prehistoric era.

The deep traces on the rock wall have been tempered by nearly ten thousand years of time, proving the existence of the past.

Their existence at least proves that in that distant era, ancient humans had learned to use pictures to express their lives and expectations.

The origin of civilization is hidden in the secrets of ancient times. In these primitive symbols, a glimmer of light and shadow can still be glimpsed.

"There are many unsolved mysteries about the origin of Chinese characters."

Yi Ze stepped forward, the mountains and rivers turned, and the desert and Gobi disappeared.

Beside him, many pottery appeared.

Each pottery has strange markings on it.

These depicting symbols present regular geometric shapes, some of which are even similar to the current English symbols.

Of course, the audience understands that these are not in English.

So what do they mean?

Holding a pottery bowl in his hand, Yi Ze said in a curious tone:
"The 6000-year-old inscribed symbols and the 5000-year-old original graphics are buried under the loess are the clues of the ancestors. Can they help us unlock the ancient secrets of the origin of Chinese characters?"

The audience was fascinated by Yi Ze's question.

They are also thinking.

This time the perception is different from before.

In the past, Yi Ze went directly back to the ancient times and had a direct dialogue with the spirit of the national treasure.

If you have any questions, just ask them directly.

But now, Yi Ze chooses to use a method of stripping away cocoons to present this episode of the program.

The audience was moved by each question.

They suddenly discovered that if they are willing to delve into it, there are too many secrets in Huaxia's history.

Of course, unlike decryption games, no one knows the answers to these secrets.

This means that anyone can find the answer.

And the secret of Chinese characters makes everyone dream about it.

How magnificent will its origin be?

What kind of epic legend will there be?
……

　I am also very curious, God give me a golden finger
