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

Chapter 136
6000-year-old engraved symbols,
original graphics from 5000 years ago,
The clues of the ancestors are buried under the loess,
Can the ancient secret of the origin of Chinese characters be solved?
Behind Yi Ze, many scenes of archaeologists excavating the ruins appeared.

Since the last century, Chinese archaeologists have continuously discovered the remains of prehistoric ancestors under the loess.

What is surprising is the various symbols and traces that continue to appear in the ruins.

Among them, will there be hidden secrets of the origin of Chinese characters?
Among them, a tortoise shell symbol dating back 8000 years ago, a Dakouzun dating back 5000 years, and Liangzhu pottery symbols dating back 4000 years...

"In the 6000-year-old Banpo Yangshao cultural relics, we found many pottery bowls with special inscription symbols."

Yi Ze reached out and took out a pottery bowl from the ruins behind him.

As the camera zooms in, the audience can clearly see that there is a regular and special symbol on the rim of the pottery bowl.

X.
"Is this an English symbol?"

"Don't talk about it, where did the English come from 6000 years ago, it's just an X."

"Hand down, English originated from China (dog head)."

"It doesn't look like words, but it looks like a random mark, Wule Gongming?"

The audience's discussion was very enthusiastic.

They feel involved.

Compared with unilateral indoctrination, this way of watching and guessing undoubtedly made them feel closer.

They're all mature adults with their own minds.

I'm not a kid, so I need others to give me advice.

Even if you guess wrong, it doesn't matter.

Knowledge, guessing-assumption-verification-guessing, is what it is.

It's not something to be ashamed of.

"Are these carved symbols the prototype of Chinese characters?"

Yi Ze did not pretend to be mysterious, but after consulting the information, he found many things that the industry was not sure about.

And similar symbols have been found in many places in China.

It is even more complex than the marking symbols found in the Banpo Yangshao culture.

Are these symbols really related to the origin of Chinese characters?

If there are any problems in archaeology that people don't understand,
How to solve?

Excavate more relics to compare and verify.

As the so-called defeating magic with magic and verifying difficult problems in archaeology can only be solved through archaeology.

Especially these ancient times that have not yet been handed down in history books.

"The mysterious inscribed symbols found in the Yangshao Banpo Cultural Site were also discovered in the Shang Dynasty after subsequent archaeological excavations. Even in the Spring and Autumn Period, the same symbols were found in the remains of the Jin Kingdom .”

Yi Ze extracted all the symbols and made a simple comparison.

The audience quickly discovered that most of these symbols were simple geometric symbols.

What does it mean if a symbol appears simultaneously for thousands of years?
The audience already understands.

These carved symbols do not have the function of Chinese characters to convey or express meaning.

As some viewers mentioned before, it is similar to Wule Gongming.

Perhaps, this is just a simple symbol drawn by the ancient ancestors in order to distinguish and identify the pottery made.

There is not much inheritance relationship with the development of Chinese characters.

"Writing is one of the important criteria for human beings to enter a civilized society. The process of exploring the origin of Chinese characters is also a time journey to explore the spiritual world of ancestors and find the origin."

"In the Liangzhu culture of Yuhang, we found many exquisite jade articles."

Beside Yi Ze, exquisite jade axes, jade bi, and jade cong appeared.

On these jade wares used as sacrificial utensils, there are various inscribed figures that are clearly visible.

These inscribed figures are very similar to the pottery symbols unearthed in Ju County, Qilu Land.

Perhaps we can think that these similar symbols appear at the same time in different regions, which means that they may be a kind of text symbols that were prevailing at that time.

"It's a pity that such a descriptive figure is too single, and there are no more connected ones, that is, single characters."

"With such a thin graphic, it is difficult for people to be convinced whether this is the prototype of Chinese characters."

Yi Ze's words were full of endless reveries.

What kind of story happened in that lost prehistoric civilization?
Could the mysterious symbols engraved on pottery and jade be the origin of Chinese characters?
If so, why don't these symbols appear in groups?
The audience is also full of emotions at this moment, and there are constant discussions.

"We entered the Neolithic Age 1 years ago. The exquisite unearthed cultural relics make us have to look at that lost world."

"It's a pity that there is no specific record, it's a pity."

"The wisdom of the ancient ancestors has become an incomprehensible mystery after the erosion of time."

"Everything has turned into dust, and the bards have been dissolved in the long river of time. In what way will the glory of the ancient ancestors, the ancient legends of those heroes, continue to be sung? And the once developed tribe , How will his own story continue to be passed on? We have never known this."

"Most of the cultural relics unearthed now are single symbols, which cannot form strong evidence."

"At the end of the day, we are too embarrassing. We talk about real facts and evidence. Westerners don't have this kind of thought. They create evidence without evidence, and they don't want Bilian."

"There are too many fake things in the West. They claim to be the successors of ancient civilizations, but everyone understands that they just regard myths and legends as the origin."

"Then don't we also regard Shennong Huangdi as the origin?"

"...To be honest, lack of knowledge is not the most deadly thing. The fatal thing is that you have to show your presence when you are poor in knowledge."

"We have ancient relics as evidence, and history books as evidence. What does the West have?"

"Relics can also be faked. Isn't the history book written by the victor?"

"You've been brainwashed too badly, how did you have the nerve to say this wrong view?"

"I'm just putting forward reasonable conjectures and theories. How do you know that the relics are not fake? How do you know that what is recorded in the history books is true? Sui Yang Emperor's great achievements for thousands of years, the opening of imperial examinations, the digging of the Grand Canal, and his grand plans can be hacked into tyrants. It wasn't Li Er and the others who hacked, isn't this the best proof?"

"Where did you hear this?"

"Humph, I saw it in other novels!"

"Is there still Wei Zhongxian who is not dead and Ming who is not dead?"

"How did you know about this? I think it makes sense. The Donglin Party members are just a bunch of rotten Confucians who can't do practical things. It's a pity that the Emperor Chongzhen, who was a genius in heaven and martial arts, was tricked to death by the Donglin Party. Alas."

"I suggest you read less novels..."

"If you can't argue, I will blame the source of my information. What kind of horse are you?"

The audience bickered.

What was said after that was probably about the empire's tinker, Adouxiao killed Sima Zhao, Guo Jia was not dead, Wolong was not born, and the like.

No one can convince anyone.

The other party affirmed that history books are all wrong things, because history books are written by victors.

The barrage is endlessly debated, and it has the meaning of pointing out the country.

Yi Ze didn't pay attention to these.

There are always all kinds of novel theories in the barrage, and he has understood this truth as early as the time when he made the video.

Sometimes ignorance is not terrible,
Not being aware of your own ignorance is a terrible thing.

And the scariest thing is not only not being aware of your ignorance, but also feeling good about yourself and not listening to anyone.

Such is the most terrifying person.

Because the universe revolves around him.

The scene around Yi Ze changed quickly.

The way he chose to behave this time is not as simple and rude as before.

Programs should have the effect of inspiring people to think.

Rather than unlimited entertainment.

Entertainment can make people refreshed for a while, but it can make people feel empty all the time.

After all, people have a sensory threshold for the pleasure of coolness.

When a large number of violent things pour into people's brains, people will get a great sense of satisfaction in an instant, and at the same time, it will also improve people's feeling of coolness in a disguised form.

It's like eating heavily every day. When you eat dishes with a light taste, you will feel like chewing wax.

Moreover, once you get used to the short-term coolness, it will be difficult for people to experience other delicacies that take a long time to taste.

This is also the reason why many things about history and science have gradually disappeared from people's vision.

It's not that they disappeared, it's simply that people don't choose them anymore.

Therefore, a large number of historical and scientific videos or works will add many interesting things.

The purpose is to attract more people to know what they should know.

This is also the reason why many programs choose to appoint many beautiful women vases in order to attract people to watch.

Their professional level may not be high, but relying on short skirts, stockings and mountain peaks, they can also attract a large number of audiences.

In this process, adding some boring content or some interesting knowledge can always achieve subtle effects.

Of course, there will still be many viewers who will feel boring after a little trembling and choose to play games.

All are normal.

At the end of the day, it's people's choice.

However, this choice can be controlled manually.

Behind, there will be a hand, a big hand that has been unspoken. It seems that the choice of self is actually controlled precisely.

In Yi Ze's hands, there was an extra thin tile.

"4000 years ago, in a certain tribe in the Qilu Peninsula, a man picked up a tile and carved eleven symbols on it."

"Who is this person? Why are these symbols carved? What are the contents of these symbols?"

"The answer is no one knows."

Yi Ze smiled and showed the broken tile to all the audience.

On this thin tile, there are eleven mysterious symbols written continuously.

it,
Is it text?

All viewers have such doubts in their hearts.

As the camera zooms in and zooms in, it is found that the writing of these symbols is quite different from the oracle bone inscriptions that are commonly seen later.

This difference is reflected in its strokes and its lines.

The eleven obscure words are connected into a complete sentence, but what does this sentence mean?
No one can tell.

"In the process of exploring the origin of Chinese characters, archaeological discoveries often bring different surprises, such as the tile in my hand. The text on it is called Ding Gong Tao Wen."

"Then is it the origin of Chinese characters?"

Yi Ze's words were always tinged with doubt. He paused for a few seconds, as if he was waiting for the audience's answer.

The audience is also thinking, some say yes, others say no.

"It doesn't look like it, it looks different from Oracle."

"Words are constantly developing. The current simplified characters and the traditional traditional characters are all improving. Could this be the stage before Oracle?"

"I don't think so. If you look at the strokes of these symbols, they are continuous. Judging from the order of development of the characters, it seems that they cannot be summarized into one system."

"Maybe it was a prank left by some unlucky traveler who went back, meaning that so-and-so came here for a visit?"

"How can there be so many time travelers? According to this, Yi Ze is also a time traveler? Don't mess around, this is a serious program."

"I don't think so. It feels like a dialect. Because few people speak it, it has not been inherited."

"It's possible that, just like languages ​​today, dialects are dying out under the impact of Mandarin."

Yi Ze waited for five or six seconds, his eyes full of expectation during this period.

He doesn't need to look at the audience's barrage, he just needs to express an attitude.

That is, we go to solve these mysteries together, even if I already know the answer, but the feeling of everyone participating together is really comfortable.

Just like the previous National Style Ceremony, participating together will give the audience a sense of participation.

After waiting for a few more seconds, Yi Ze lightly stroked the mysterious symbols on the tiles.

These undeciphered symbols, or meanings, are still in dispute.

But one thing is certain.

"This is an ancient writing!"

Yi Ze said with certainty.

Different from the symbols that appeared in single characters before, this time, there are eleven characters in a row, and there are specific rules in the strokes.

That's enough to recognize it as concrete text.

But what does this kind of writing have to do with the origin of Chinese characters?

Yi Ze continued:

"In the process of exploring the origin of Chinese characters, what we can discover is not only the origin of Chinese characters, but also the writing systems of some ethnic groups and tribes that are not in the Huaxia system."

"It's like even now, there will still be this part of ethnic characters on the land of China. The characters are diverse, whether it is now or in the ancient land of China!"

In the ancient times of China, there existed many tribes such as Xia and Yi.

In the mutual exchanges and battles, these tribes merged with each other, gradually forming today's diversified Huaxia.

In the process of the origin and development of Chinese characters, will they also experience such a process of integration and development?

The oracle bone inscriptions we usually call are already an extremely mature writing system.

So before that, what will his development look like?
Going back one dynasty, what would the form of writing be like during the Xia Dynasty?
What kind of secrets does this information from the past hold?
……
