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

Chapter 142

People will always have different views on the future.

Optimists believe that the future will definitely get better, while pessimists believe that nothing will be worse than the future.

However, no one cares about their future.

A cancer patient, when he does not find out that he has cancer, lives happily and lives longer.

Once he knows that he has cancer, the changes in the whole person's state, psychological factors and many other influences will directly crush his expectations for the future, so that most of the diagnosed cancer patients can't last long.

When a person knows where the end of his life is, the closer he gets, the more he fears.

If someone told you that tomorrow you would die in a car accident, you would choose to stay home tomorrow.

This is normal. Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is an instinct written into the genes.

A trained will can fight this instinct, but it cannot dispel the fear brought about by instinct.

Yi Ze is sure that Li's divination is definitely the most accurate he has ever seen.

Therefore, when the tortoise shell no longer showed his future, a moment of panic and uneasiness inevitably occurred in Yi Ze's heart.

Between life and death, there are very few people who can deal with it calmly.

Just like many people who choose to commit suicide by jumping off a building to end their lives, the moment he jumped, he did not regret it.

But the closer he was to the ground, the closer he was to death, the more he would regret, struggle, and panic.

Therefore, many jumpers who originally had handsome postures will become strange postures when they reach the ground.

Simply because, at the moment of facing death, they desperately want to seize the chance of life.

Of course, we need to have sympathy for those who jumped off the building, but we should also have an attitude of hatred.

Because many times, in this country, when a person chooses to end his life, it often alarms many people.

Especially a group of the loveliest people with noble beliefs and struggling on the front line.

Therefore, in many cases, tragedies often happen at this moment.

Will Yi Ze choose to give up his life?

Of course, absolutely not.

It is undoubtedly the most stupid behavior to choose to give up one's life because of an unclear divination.

What's more, if Yi Ze really wants to jump off the building, then he has to alarm a large number of people?
It is really not advisable to waste money and waste money.

Cherishing one's own life and causing less trouble to others is what everyone should do.

Yi Ze clearly felt that many young people nowadays seem to be very strange.

Like pieces of fragile and outrageous porcelain, every now and then a wave of jade will be destroyed.

Parents are also very strange, they have to report everything first, don't ask whether it is right or wrong, just ask if you are afraid.

Society is developing in various strange directions. Although it is not obvious now, there are many such signs.

It feels to Yi Ze that the strength that was originally united and twisted into a rope, due to various reasons, is now going in a different direction, and there is a sense of separation.

Separation from school, separation from family, separation from society, separation in all aspects.

People are always confused, and many times they can only choose to muddle along.

It is no longer like in that era, when the great man waved his hand and concentrated his strength to do great things.

Now there is no such person who can aspire to the top of the world. Everyone has the heart of a dead friend who will never die a poor way, and silently watches the world.

Gently stroking the tortoise shell with his fingers, Yi Ze stood up and bid farewell to Li.

This is the era of Yin and Shang, a mysterious era.

It's a pity that when I came here, apart from divination, I didn't find any other clues about the oracle bone inscriptions.

Whether this kind of mature and self-contained writing has inherited the legacy of the previous dynasty is still a mystery.

The Xia Dynasty, the oldest dynasty in China, was the era when the public world was transformed into the family world.

What will their text look like?
All are curious.

But the cultural relics unearthed now can hardly support the existence of such an era.

Therefore, many people, of course foreign scholars, would doubt the authenticity of the Xia Dynasty.

As a result, many Muyang dogs in China also bark and bark, holding high the banner of so-called scientific reason, questioning the traces of the existence of ancient ancestors.

Xia, there is no doubt that it is a real dynasty.

Even the Three Emperors and Five Emperors really existed in ancient times.

It's just that the history is too long and there are too few materials that can be passed down, so that that era has gradually been deified.

After all, a country like Eagle Country can see its ancestors by counting down 300 years.

We count back 5000 years, and what we see are ancient ancestors, and counting back thousands of years, we can still find traces of ancestors.

The show is still going on and is far from over.

Facing the audience behind the camera, Yi Ze collected all his thoughts.

He is responsible to all the audience of the show, as for his own emotions, it is not worth mentioning in front of the show and the audience.

This is the quality a host should have.

During the previous divination, it could be said that his acting skills were superb.

But at this time, Yi Ze had already withdrawn from the divination, so naturally Yi Ze shouldn't be maintaining that emotion.

Dedication is the most basic bottom line of an artist.

Efforts also belong to the category of dedication.

If you can't even do this basic thing, then there is no doubt that it is a fraud.

It's just that many leeks don't know it.

After picking up his mood, Yi Ze walked forward slowly.

At the same time, he sent it out with a somewhat soothing tone:
"Just now, we saw the mysterious divination ceremony of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. This is the glory of an unknown era."

"This mysterious era has left us with too many mysteries, and also brought us infinite reverie."

"The ancient era has been completely buried in the dust of history. The legend of Cangjie's creation of characters has been passed down through the ages, but compared to legends, we still like the real history, the history that we can touch."

Yi Ze said a lot in one breath, and his mood gradually became more uplifting.
"Oracle bone inscriptions are the first piece of history we can touch. They appear in front of the world with a unique gesture, showing us the achievements of civilization in that glorious era."

"And in the era after the demise of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, there was also a kind of writing, which was considered to be one of the oldest writings in China."

"It has a history of more than [-] years in Chinese civilization. Because it is combined with a metal, it is unique in the history of the world's writing development. Presumably, the audience already knows its name!"

Yi Ze smiled and said, sometimes interactions are just that simple.

Give the audience some simple questions to keep them engaged, even if the problem is well known.

The show can be set because the viewer needs it.

"It is the bronze inscription, and some people call it Zhong Dingwen."

Behind Yi Ze, pieces of uniquely shaped and exquisite bronze wares emerged.

On the bell and tripod, there are densely written words engraved on it.

Bronze inscriptions are the most graceful and luxurious characters in China. They are cast and engraved on bronze wares. Because they often appear in the tripods of ritual vessels and the bells of musical instruments, they are also called Zhongdingwen.

"As we all know, Chinese bronze wares have been covered with a noble and mysterious veil since ancient times."

"In ancient times, there was such a mysterious legend. According to legend, the Yellow Emperor once collected copper ore, cast a tripod under Jingshan Mountain, and used the giant tripod to suppress the energy veins of the Central Plains, thereby suppressing all directions of Kyushu."

"Yu, on the other hand, forged the nine tripods to suppress the world, and the tripod has thus become a symbol of kingship, an artifact that God gives power to mortals."

In a few words, Yi Ze elicited mysterious legends one after another, attracting the attention of the audience.

"The ancient legends are getting farther and farther away. The era of casting the tripod has become an ancient mystery and disappeared from people's sight. Who is it? Why do you want to engrave words on the bronzes? What kind of stories do these words tell?"

Behind Yi Ze, bronze tripods emerged continuously. These exquisite ritual vessels became the carriers of words.

So far, people have discovered more than [-] pre-Qin bronze inscriptions, including more than [-] Shang and Zhou bronze inscriptions, and more than [-] Spring and Autumn and Warring States bronze inscriptions.

Among them, there are a total of 720 single characters in bronze, of which 420 have been deciphered, and there are still more than 1000 characters that no one can decipher.

Most of these undecipherable bronze inscriptions appeared on the utensils of the Shang Dynasty. They often appeared in the belly, or a list of similar characters, and sometimes a frame in the shape of "Ya" was added. The wind is majestic and vigorous, and the exaggerated decoration of the utensil itself adds a bit of mystery to these words.

And this kind of characters surrounded by the "Asian" frame is the family emblem, which is a relic of an ancient system. They are older than oracle bone inscriptions, and they are more pictographic.

Yi Ze reached out and took off the family emblems one by one from the bronze vessels. These mysterious and ancient characters are totems handed down by the ancient ancestors.

"The indecipherable characters on these bronzes once witnessed a period of civilization together with the oracle bone inscriptions."

"Different from oracle bone inscriptions used to record divination results, bronze inscriptions need to be cast on bronze, so they appear more beautiful and thick. In a sense, oracle bone inscriptions can be regarded as our handwriting, while bronze inscriptions are used Printed in textbooks."

The knowledge derived from the study of bronze inscriptions is called epigraphy.

This kind of knowledge has been studied since the Song Dynasty, and it is often studied together with stone carvings. The two characters of gold and stone contain two different kinds of knowledge.

When entering the new era, the interpretation of bronze inscriptions is more standardized.

"When the history opened a new page of the Zhou Dynasty, the reinforced divination belonging to the Yin and Shang Dynasties has gradually become a memory; when the bamboo slips and silks are decayed, the bronze inscriptions cast in bronze are destined to become the most important place to study the history of the Zhou Dynasty. Important document."

Zhou, a glorious dynasty.

The span is extremely wide and the history is extremely long.

From the eleventh century BC to the third century BC, the Zhou Dynasty had 37 kings in [-] generations, which lasted more than [-] years.

During this period, it was divided into the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Of course, this is just a mark made by later generations for the convenience of distinguishing.

Whether it is the Western Zhou Dynasty or the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, there is no doubt that it is the same dynasty.

Just like the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty, they are also the Han Dynasty.

The so-called West and East are just special marks added to divide periods when studying history.

When we really go back to that era, there is no distinction between Western Zhou and Eastern Zhou, and there is only one name, Zhou.

Just like we often talk about the Three Kingdoms, that is, Wei, Shu and Wu.

But back then, there was no such title as Shu Han, and Liu Bei's title of emperor was still Han.

But in order to distinguish them, later generations added a prefix of Shu based on Liu Bei's territory.

In the TV series "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the "Shu" banner that Liu Bei's army traveled under was actually wrong.

The correct banner should be "Han".

Therefore, the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty both belong to the Zhou Dynasty, which is indisputable.

Guozuo has been in power for more than [-] years, which is also indisputable.

Even in the Warring States period, when the feudal lords were separated, there were only seven big countries known to everyone: Qi, Chu, Qin, Yan, Zhao, Wei, and Han.

But even at this time, the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period were still only vassal states in name, Zhou was still the suzerain state in name, and only the King of Zhou was called the Son of Heaven, and the other vassal states were still called kings until Zhou perished in 256 BC.

Compared with the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which was struggling to survive in the flames of war, the history of the Western Zhou Dynasty, which was the powerful period of the Zhou Dynasty, left to future generations only some vague memories.

Except for the "Book of Songs", there are very few Western Zhou documents that are currently circulating.

Therefore, bronze inscriptions have become an important material for studying the history of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

And in March [-], a crucial bronze vessel was unearthed in Lintong.

Li Gui!

Its unearthed, for us to determine the exact time of the founding of the Zhou Dynasty.

If the gods and ghosts in the later "Feng Shen Yan Yi" are removed, then some of the things recorded in this book are indeed real.

For example, the battle of Makino.

For thousands of years, this battle that determined the fate of China has been obscured by the mythological versions of various literatures when it happened.

The unearthed Li Gui solved this problem.

"In the long Chinese civilization, the "reliable history" supported by handed down documents began in 840 BC, which became a major flaw in the history of Chinese civilization. However, King Wu conquered business and established the Western Zhou Dynasty. History is of extraordinary significance."

In the long river of history, the ancients will always inadvertently leave some clues for future generations.

The appearance of Ligui undoubtedly surprised people.

The gold inscriptions inscribed on the Li Gui, a total of 32 characters, record that on the eighth day after King Wu conquered the Shang Dynasty, in a place called "Lan", he bestowed some bronze on the right history "Li", so "Li" cast this utensils.

The time of the expedition recorded above is completely consistent with that recorded in "Shangshu", which indisputably confirms the specific date of the Battle of Makino.

History is a rigorous science that deserves to be treated rigorously.

The excavation of the Li Gui undoubtedly confirmed the exact date of the Battle of Muye, and it is also the most powerful evidence, enough to silence all doubters.

According to the records on Ligui, experts combined astronomy and calendars to make rigorous and detailed calculations, and finally got the specific year when King Wu conquered business.
