My system is not decent

Chapter 1445

Li Jinli can't help but feel complacent. There must still be keels that can be found in China, but there are really not many, and there must be even fewer that can enter the market.

And Li Jinli actually bought three or four thousand bones in one trip.

There are thousands of words involved, which is really not easy.

We must know that the oracle bone inscriptions discovered in our country so far only have about 15 pieces of oracle bones and more than 4500 individual characters.

The content recorded in these oracle bone inscriptions is extremely rich, involving many aspects of social life in the Shang Dynasty.

It not only includes politics, military affairs, culture, social customs, etc., but also involves science and technology such as astronomy, calendar, and medicine.

Judging from the about 1500 single characters that have been recognized in oracle bone inscriptions, it has already possessed the character-making methods of "pictographic, knowing, pictophonic, referring to things, transcribing, and borrowing", showing the unique charm of Chinese characters.

At that time, Li Jinli did not expect that a trip to Shuchuan would yield such a great harvest.

This is also the reason why Chen Wenzhe is rich and powerful. It is because of his strong background that he can buy a lot of good things with the image of being rich and powerful.

Of course, people in Sichuan and Shu must think that others are stupid and rich.

However, if it wasn't for his profligacy, how could someone sell him a large number of rotten bones?

The bones left over from ancient times are called keel bones, but the ones with ghost symbols painted on them are not ordinary keel bones!
Unfortunately, even illiterate people now know that these bones are treasures.

So he really paid a very high price for this batch of oracle bone inscriptions.

More than [-] pieces, less than [-] pieces, an average of more than [-] pieces per piece, totaling [-] million yuan.

Less than [-] pieces of keel can be sold for [-] million yuan. There should be few people in China who can stand this kind of temptation.

Therefore, Li Jinli bought this pile of bones easily.

Now it seems that the batch of oracle bone inscriptions unearthed in Shuchuan was really the right one.

Because those oracle bone inscriptions are actually related to Shu Ge, and even recorded some things about the ancient Shu Kingdom.

If it weren't for such a batch of oracle bone inscriptions and a large number of salvaged porcelain sent by Chen Wenzhe, how could their newly opened private museum attract a large number of experts?
Not to mention copying Sanxingdui bronzes, even authenticating Shu Ge is difficult.

Chen Wenzhe really didn't know about the keel, but even if he knew, he wasn't too interested.

After all, he didn't understand oracle bone inscriptions. If he didn't understand these things, he was reading from heaven.

Instead, he paid more attention to the Shu Ge in front of him. The number of this thing was not much, at least it was much less than the oracle bone inscription fragments.

Since it is called Shu Ge, it is naturally the Ge of the ancient Shu Kingdom.

Therefore, in the history of Sichuan Province, there is still an ancient Shu Kingdom.

Needless to say, the large pile of dragon bones they bought also belonged to the ancient Shu Kingdom.

It is with this pile of bones that a large number of experts can be attracted and these two Shu Ge can be accurately identified.

As for Chen Wenzhe, as long as he read the research results of other experts, he would know the origin of these two Shu Ge.

"Shu" appeared frequently in oracle bone inscriptions before Emperor Yi of the Shang Dynasty.

This also shows how important Oracle is.

Although Chen Wenzhe didn't look at the oracle bone inscriptions found in Shuchuan, he didn't know what was recorded on them.

However, he has read extensively, and he is very clear that among the oracle bone inscriptions discovered in the Shang Dynasty, there are many records about the ancient Shu Kingdom.

These records are all in the form of hexagrams for fortune-telling.

So far, more than 50 related inscriptions (including fragments) have been found, including 48 in the Wuding period and 3 in the Linxin and Kangding periods.

The inscriptions with "Shu" in the Wuding period mainly expressed four items.

One is to record the Shu people's "Yewang things", that is, the Shu people did things for the Shang king.

It shows that the ancient Shu people belonged to the Shang Dynasty as early as the Wuding period.

The inscriptions show that most of the leaders of the ancient Shu Kingdom held important positions in the Shang Dynasty, and their status was quite high.

People who can be asked for divination because they can be cared about by the King of Shang are generally the leaders of the clans or Fang Kingdoms who surrendered to Shang.

The second is to record some military incidents and other related content in which the Shu people protected the King of Shang and guarded Wang Ji.

There are three oracle inscriptions, which are connected to show the entire time.

On this day, Jiayin asked whether it would be auspicious to recruit people from Shu?
It took a total of 14 days from Jiayin to Dingmao. It may be that the personnel dispatched from Shu to attack Fou have not arrived or have not yet arrived.

Therefore, on the 14th day of February, Dingmao asked whether the soldiers transferred from Shu could win the battle?
And divination twice in a row is a good omen.

Fourteen days later, on the day of Gengchen, the king of Shang once again divination about cutting fou.

"Fou" is a Fang country that lives in the northwest of Yongji in the south of Shanxi today. It was often conquered by the Shang Dynasty because it was often an enemy of the Shang Dynasty.

It can be seen from this that it took about 28 days from when the king of Shang was about to send people to attack fou to when he recruited soldiers from Shu, and then these recruited soldiers traveled long distances from Shu to Fou.

The third is to record the divination by Wuding, the king of Shang, to pray for a good harvest in the agriculture of the Shu Kingdom.

It can make the king of Shang care about and pray for his year's fortune time and time again, which shows that Shu occupies a very important position in the subordinate states of the Shang Dynasty.

The fourth is whether it is a bad omen or a good omen to go to Shu or stay in Shu.

Most of this type of inscriptions were found in the late Wuding period, and there were about 12 pieces, indicating that the two countries had frequent exchanges and close relations.

The content recorded in the three inscriptions in Wu Yi and Wen Ding periods is similar to that in Wu Ding's later period, and they mainly accounted for merchants' stay in Shu.

From the late Wu Ding period to the Wu Yi and Wen Ding periods, merchants visited the Shu Kingdom so frequently, which means that the Shang Dynasty probably sent people to hold some important official positions in the Shu Kingdom.

Inscriptions on oracle bone inscriptions from the period of King Wen of the original Zhou Dynasty in Xishan Zhou Dynasty also found the words "cut Shu" and "ke Shu".

It shows that the Zhou people under the command of King Wen of Zhou once crusaded and finally conquered the Kingdom of Shu.

Judging from the literature records, the earliest mention of "Shu" is "Shangshu".

In the Battle of Muye, among the Eight-Nation Allied Forces as King Wu of Zhou conquered Shang, there was the Kingdom of Shu.

There are more detailed records of "Shu" in "The Book of the King of Shu" written by Yang Xiong, a native of Chuandu in Shu County, in the late Western Han Dynasty, and "Huayang Guozhi" written by Chang Chu, a native of Shu County in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

But unfortunately, "The Book of the King of Shu" has been lost.

What can be seen now is the fragment compilation of "Taiping Yulan" in the Northern Song Dynasty.

"Taiping Yulan" quotes "The Book of the King of Shu" to record that the ancestor of the King of Shu was named Cancong, followed by Bailu, and later named Yufu.

Each of the three periods lasted for hundreds of years, and finally they all cultivated into gods.

"The people also follow the king's transformation"

Later, a man named Du Yu proclaimed himself king of Shu, named Emperor Wang, and ruled the Yipi area at the foot of Wenshan Mountain.

Emperor Wang ruled for more than 100 years.

There was a man named Bie Ling in Jingdi, and Du Yu first promoted him to be Prime Minister.

Later, Du Yu thought that his virtue was weak and he was not as good as bieling, so he followed Yao and Shun's abdication, handed over the country to bieling to govern, and left by himself.
