Live Jianbao: Baoyou, you are very wrong

Chapter 126 Jiangshan Sheji, This Is Wu Ding's Sacrifice

"Of course there are differences."

Xue Zhen sent a message to explain.

"Although oracle bone script is one word, it says three things."

"The armor generally refers to the tortoise shell, the bone is the shoulder blade of a cow, and the text is the writing."

"The combination of these three things is the complete oracle bone inscriptions, but because most of the oracle bone inscriptions are used for divination, they are also called oracle bone inscriptions."

"Nowadays many people don't actually know that oracle bone inscriptions represent three things, they just think it's this character."

"This is actually a wrong perception."

"The existing Jiaguwen are mainly divided into two categories, those used for divination and those used for recording information."

"The one in front of me has no burn marks, but it is actually used to record information."

This is often more memorable than divination.

After Xue Zhen finished speaking, the audience in the live broadcast room didn't quite understand why this would be more memorable.

"Aren't they all written in ancient Jiawen?"

Xue Zhen looked at the screen and explained with a smile.

"Because ancient divination is a normal thing, but it is relatively rare to use oracle bone records."

"Oracle bones are only used for important things."

"General things are recorded with a brush."

Brush?

The audience in the live broadcast room were dumbfounded when they heard this word.

How could there be such a thing as a writing brush in Shang and Zhou Dynasties?Didn't brushes come into being only after Mengtian in the Qin Dynasty?

Seeing this question, Tang Qisheng shook his head and explained.

"Actually, you misunderstood this."

"Meng Tian in the Qin Dynasty only improved the technique of the brush, and the brush was actually used in ancient times."

"Traces of brushes can now be seen in some murals before human civilization."

"On some murals, it is obvious that there are strokes in the characters and images."

"And the stroke of the brush is different from the shape of the general depiction, which can be easily identified."

"According to some classics of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, it can be seen that the Shang Dynasty began to use brushes to record."

"It's just that the carrier that carries the brush characters can't be preserved in practice, and this is the result."

"As for the one I just took out, strictly speaking, it should be called the tortoise shell with Shang Dynasty inscriptions."

After hearing Tang Qisheng's words, everyone in the live broadcast room suddenly realized, and looking at the thing on the screen, it was indeed in the shape of half a turtle's plastron.

"Then, what did Professor Xue see?"

When the treasure friends asked, they heard Xue Zhen's voice.

"There are a few characters in it that seem to be appearing for the first time. I'm trying to identify them, but it's a little difficult."

"Old Xu, do you want to see it too?"

When Xu Yemian heard the news, he replied that he was watching.

Then he took out the magnifying glass and studied it on the screen.

Huang Haoying was very straightforward when he saw so many big shots, and directly took a high-definition photo and sent it out.

It was also the first time that everyone in the live broadcast room saw the work of a serious expert, and they were a little curious.

Watch the screen carefully.

Xu Yemian and Xue Zhen took out the documents and compared them while reading.

It took a long time to shake his head and confirm.

"It's true that I haven't seen these words."

"I didn't see it either."

Hearing that the two experts did not recognize it, everyone in the live broadcast room couldn't believe it.

They couldn't even recognize what kind of text it was?
Is Oracle still so difficult?
Tang Qisheng sighed.

"It's not difficult to say, as long as the analysis is clear, or it can be traced back from history."

"After all, expert Ning has said a lot about how to analyze text back and forth."

"However, many times there will be such a situation. In the classics, there are solitary characters, and no corresponding inheritance can be found at all."

Baoyou in the live broadcast room was also a little puzzled when he heard the words.

"Then how to deal with this kind of oracle bone inscription?"

Although this statement is not quite correct, the three of them don't want to get entangled in this matter now.

Shake his head.

"We can only wait until there are similar texts to deal with."

"The existing text on this oracle bone can only be judged to be a record of an event related to spring and heaven and earth."

"We recognized the characters of heaven and earth, rain, and seedlings."

Hearing this, Bao friends were also very impressed.

After all, not everyone can recognize the text on such a tortoise shell.

Especially now that the picture looks like a bunch of symbols, they can't see any relationship at all.

Before he could say anything, he heard Ning Fan laugh out loud.

"Baoyou, this is really wrong!"

Ok?
Everyone was taken aback, wondering what was wrong, and wanted to hear what Ning Fan had to say.

"This is not about the farmland, but a sacrifice."

"Wuding, the king of Shang, went to the Taimiao to worship and pray for good weather and good harvest for farmers."

"This is Shang Wang Wuding offering sacrifices to Jia."

After saying this, everyone in the live broadcast room was stunned.

"Master Ning, how did you see this?"

Ning Fan was a little surprised.

"One plus one equals how much?"

"Two!"

Everyone in the live broadcast room answered without any hesitation.

"How did you know that?"

When Baoyou heard this question, he didn't even want to answer it directly.

"Isn't it recognizable when you see it?"

Ning Fan nodded and smiled.

"me too."

Everyone in the live broadcast room looked down upon hearing this, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

What a godly answer!
Can it be the same difficulty?

But looking at Ning Fan's serious look, he couldn't say that.

Maybe in Ning Fan's eyes, these are really similar.

Looking at the screen again, someone asked a question again, but this time it was not an ordinary friend, but two experts in semiotics.

He looked at the screen and asked Ning Fan how he saw these meanings.

They clearly recognized a few words, but they didn't see the meaning, so they asked for advice seriously.

Ning Fan opened his mouth softly when he saw the question.

"Confucius said, if the four bodies are not diligent and the five grains are not distinguished, which one is the master?"

"Milk, millet, wheat, bean, and rice are the five grains"

"Ji has evolved from the chief of hundreds of grains to the god of five grains. Together with the god of earth, it is called Sheji. You can't recognize that the character on the tortoise shell is the character Ji for Sheji."

"In reality, Ji is actually millet."

"It's just that it's not planted in many places now, and many people haven't even heard of it."

"It's good for you to focus on cultural relics and historical research, but you also missed many opportunities to learn about other things."

"Xia Kingdom was an agricultural and civilized country at the earliest stage, and almost [-]% of the oracle bones were used for divination on agriculture."

"Thirty percent are divining wars, and only the other [-]% are not knowing what they are divining."

"Also, if you piece together the handwriting on the broken carapace and bone fragments just now, you can see that they are asking about the rain and other conditions."

"This also corresponds to the divination at the time of the great sacrifice in history."

"Those fragments can be put together into the other half of the tortoise shell and a cow's shoulder bone, and that's what I mean when put together."

Everyone was completely stunned when they heard this.

This is too scary!

To be able to restore the meaning of this oracle bone in this way.

"Then...Master Ning, do you know whose tomb is here?"
