Grandma's wanton life

Chapter 419 The Prelude to the Storm!
"Word?"

"Is it the oracle bone inscription that Professor Ye mentioned?"

"How does this look like text?"

"If it is written, what is written on it?"

"And there is a problem, if these symbols are words, we don't know them either!"

"That's right, even if it's text, we also...huh? Professor Ye knows each other?"

Everyone was stunned. Ye Feng said that these symbols are words, and he has said it more than once or twice. Why is he so convinced?Everyone knows that Ye Feng would not joke about this kind of thing, if there is no definite evidence, Ye Feng should not be so firm!

Dean Zhang Hui frowned and asked, "Professor Ye, you said that these symbols are words, do you have any convincing evidence?"

"Yes, Professor Ye, it's not that we don't believe you, it's mainly because of these things, we can't just draw conclusions casually!"

"Well, I agree with Dean Zhang's statement."

Even Koji Nakano from Japan asked, "Professor Ye, if these symbols are all words, how should they be deciphered?"

At this time, whether it is Koji Nakano or Zhang Hui, especially foreigners like Koji Nakano, they don’t care about the country anymore, and now everyone wants to figure out what this thing is!Although Nakano and the others have bad intentions, they are also professors of history after all, so they really don't have the intention to empty China's history at this time!

"Actually, this is very simple."

Ye Feng looked at the crowd, smiled slightly, and said: "There is no need for any evidence, you just need to regard these symbols as words first, and when you think they are words, you should look at these symbols in reverse , you will find that these symbols are all words with rich connotations!"

Ok?
Everyone was stunned!
Everyone didn't expect Ye Feng to say that!
No evidence required?
Identify them as text first, and then read them later?

Zhang Hui frowned, "Professor Ye mean to use proof by contradiction?"

Ye Feng nodded, "That's right, it's the method of proof by contradiction. Just look at it and you'll know." Indeed, if these oracle bone inscriptions want to be accepted by everyone in the shortest time, they can only use the method of proof by contradiction.Of course, if the argument is positive, Ye Feng can also prove it, but it needs more evidence from unearthed cultural relics, and the time spent is not a small amount.Moreover, Ye Feng knows that this thing is oracle bone inscriptions, even if it is contradictory evidence, there is no possibility of problems!

When everyone heard the words, they all began to carefully look at this piece of tortoise shell.

Gradually, everyone frowned.Just like what Ye Feng said, if you look at the symbols on these tortoise shells with the eyes of words, it's really a bit different.

"Is this character for cow or sheep?" Zhang Hui frowned, pointing to a character and said, "This horn is a bit like a sheep's horn!"

"It should be a sheep!" Yu Likun also saw this word, and said: "The one that curls downward is a sheep, this, Lao Zhang, look at this, this is a cow!" The character, this character is also in the shape of a pair of horns, but it is bent upwards, like a bull horn.

"This is a cow!"

"Is this character human?"

"What about this?"

"I don't know this one, I can't see it."

"Is this the sky, is this the cloud?"

"Huh? Kind of like it!"

"This is a mouth, right? It's not much different from the current Chinese characters!"

"Yes, there is this word. Isn't this the shape of the river's ripples? Is it water or a river?"

"There is also this word, this word must be mountain!"

The more everyone watched, the more excited they became, and Zhang Hui quickly asked for all the remaining oracle bones with handwriting to be brought over.According to what Ye Feng said, first read them as words, and after looking at them, everyone found that there are many of them that everyone can guess the meaning of the words!
There are many of them, as long as you associate them casually, you can see what they refer to!
Even, there are some characters that are roughly the same as the current Chinese characters!

This discovery really shocked everyone!

Not only the Chinese experts were taken aback, but even foreign sinologists like Nakano Koji and Smith became more and more frightened the more they watched it!
They are really scared!

How old are these oracle bones?

Everyone still doesn't know, if what Ye Feng said is true, then these oracle bones belong to the Shang Dynasty!
How many years ago was the Shang Dynasty?
According to historical records, it should be more than 600 years!
More than 600 years!
That's not 360 years!

That is a text written more than 600 years ago!Now, everyone has recognized quite a few of them before doing much research?
How can this not be surprising?
How can this make people not shake?
Especially those foreigners, they were even more shocked!

This is the Chinese nation?
This is Huaxia Chinese characters?
It has been passed down for so long, and the characters written more than 600 years ago can still be recognized?

terror!
terrible!
At this time, Ye Feng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke again: "Oracle bone inscriptions have a symmetrical and stable pattern." He didn't look at anyone, even if he was walking casually in this open space, what he said didn't seem to be deliberate. What I told everyone was more like Ye Feng's inner monologue thinking alone.

Ye Feng walked casually while bowing his head and whispering, "Brush, structure, and composition are the three elements of calligraphy. From my perspective, this oracle bone inscription fully possesses these three elements. There are also manifestations. What are the six books? Pictographic, referring to things, understanding, phonetic, transcribing, and borrowing, these are the six books."

Listening to Ye Feng's quiet exhortation, everyone couldn't help but follow Ye Feng's thinking.When they heard Ye Feng talk about calligraphy, everyone suddenly realized that Professor Ye is still a calligrapher!

Yup!

Professor Ye is not only a calligrapher, but also a "Contemporary Calligrapher" recognized by the Huaxia Calligraphers Association!

No wonder!No wonder!

No wonder Professor Ye was able to recognize these words so quickly, he is a professional!

People just play with words!
Calligraphers' perception of words must be much sharper than historians like them!

Originally, some people wondered why Ye Feng was so sure that these symbols were words?
It's the first time for everyone to come into contact with them, and they even came into contact with them earlier than Ye Feng, but Ye Feng can immediately see that these things are words, isn't this surprising?
Even if you are awesome, but you are too awesome, right?
But now, everyone has no such idea!

A dignified calligrapher, is he still sensitive to calligraphy?
Just kidding!

At this time, everyone has basically accepted Ye Feng's statement in their hearts, and almost believed that this thing is words.However, there is still one biggest question in everyone's mind, and that is whether this site belongs to the Shang Dynasty or not!
If it is confirmed, this is from the Shang Dynasty, then the meaning of these words can be truly reflected!
Ye Feng also knew everyone's doubts. He knew that no matter how much he said about the oracle bone inscriptions, it was actually nonsense. Only when it was confirmed that the site was from the Shang Dynasty, would the oracle bone inscriptions be valuable!
"I know everyone has doubts, but these things are no longer something I can just talk about." Ye Feng said: "Well, why don't we send these oracle bone fragments to the Academy of Sciences and let them test them How about the timing of these things?"

"it is good!"

"I have intended it for a long time!"

"I'll contact the people over there immediately!"

"Old Zhang, you are familiar with the people at the Imperial Academy of Sciences, don't delay, just go there!"

"Okay! Leave it to me!"

Everyone immediately responded to Ye Feng's suggestion.

Everyone has long wanted to send these things to be passed down, but they just waited for Ye Feng to come over and study for a while, so they kept procrastinating.Now that Ye Feng has finished his research, everyone probably knows what it is, and now it's just a matter of determining the age!
Just do what you say, without any procrastination, Zhang Hui went straight to the imperial capital with a few old professors, and immediately took his things!
Using modern technology to measure these oracle bones, and then determine the specific age of these things, this is a common method in archaeology, and Dean Zhang Hui and the imperial capital are also familiar with it.

Ye Feng didn't stay longer at the construction site, but went directly back to the hotel to wait for news.

……

Three days!

Only three days have passed!
Dean Zhang Hui called Ye Feng directly!
The result is out!
These oracle bones are at least 600 years old!

At this moment, not only Ye Feng got the news, but also the whole Chinese historians got the news!
In an instant, the entire Chinese historian circle set off a huge wave, and thousands of historians were shocked by it!
