Riding the wind of rebirth

In addition, there is "Yang", one side is "Fu", which means a mountain or a high place, the top side is a sun, and the bottom side is a T-shape, which means an altar.

The meaning of this word is that the mountain is the first to be exposed to sunlight. You can see the first ray of sunlight shining on the side above the altar early, which is the north side of the mountain. It means Yang.

Later, people simply added the three rays of the sun, and the right side of the character became the prototype of "昜". With the addition of the word "阜" which is used to wrap around the ears, it became the traditional form of "Yang". The word "Yang".

So text is a magical thing. Is it really pointless to simplify characters? Judging from the evolution of Yang character, it is more like changing from simple to complex, and finally back again.

In addition, there are many Chinese characters whose original meaning is related to "日". They have also left traces in the fonts, but most users today are not aware of it.

For example, above the word "sun", adding the shape of water waves representing floods represents the passage of time, which is the "past" of the past.

Adding "wood" around "日" represents the forest, and adding "tun" in the middle to represent the shape of grass buds means "spring", which is written as "萅" in traditional Chinese.

If the forest is removed and only the sun and grass buds are left, it will be "旽". This is a rare word, which also means the rising sun.

Adding wings to "日" means that the bird practices flapping its wings after the sun rises. This is "xi", the traditional form of "xi" that is practiced.

Adding three people under "sun" means that everyone is working together under the scorching sun, which is zhong, "zhong".

Draw a bean sprout, with a hand caressing it on the side, and the sun and sun halo below, indicating regular inspection of the growth of the crop. This is the "supervisor" for supervision.

If it is a hand holding a wooden pen, and "日" is added below, it means recording the time of the day, which is called "日", the "日" of daytime.

There are also "ming" in the sun and moon, and "gao" in the sunrise tree representing light. All of these are related to the ideographic root "日".

This is the most interesting thing about oracle bone inscriptions, and it is also the charm of hieroglyphs. The root of the word will appear in many different characters, and the combination is often unexpected, but after explanation, the meaning is expected.

And up to now, we still use these root characters in Chinese characters anytime and anywhere. For example, next to "zuobaoer" which represents mountains and high places, the original meanings are retained in the characters such as drop, resistance, limit, danger and steepness.

Another example is that next to the word "shi" representing the altar, the original meaning is also retained in the words "ancestor, god, blessing, ritual, misfortune, auspiciousness, sacrifice, blessing".

Zhou Zhi was also exploring ways to inspire interest in word research among his classmates, and finally discovered that learning oracle bone inscriptions and studying the Hanwen input method had the same goal. That is to start from the root of the character, which is not only convenient for learning and memory, but also suitable for inspiring thinking. According to the radicals and characters of Chinese characters, From the original meaning of the root, we can guess the rough glyphs of many oracle bone inscriptions. We can also guess its evolution based on the root glyphs of the oracle bone inscriptions. Finally, we can guess its regular script font and its meaning.

It is obviously much more interesting to play than simple teaching. More and more students like it, and Zhou Zhi's class is becoming more and more popular.

Zhou Zhi has to do a lot of things, including screening for representative root words, searching for words, linking handouts, writing and printing...

But just like when Guan Tingting, Hu Rui and the others are in a band, they don’t feel it’s hard because they like it.

However, this very popular course was suspended for two weeks in April. Zhou Zhi prepared the materials in advance and sent them to the elective students for self-study because he had to go on a business trip.

This business trip was going to the capital, Shanghai and Suzhou, and Zhou Zhi was in a very anxious mood.

The main reason for flying to the capital first was to take the GRE test, and also to meet Li Laoer. The overseas part of "Twelve Zodiac Signs" has been filmed, and now it's the domestic part's turn.

Everyone was still gathering at the Demian Hall. As the screenwriter of "Twelve Zodiac Signs", Zhou Zhi was in charge of the conception, and Jesse was in charge of the realization. Regarding some extremely thrilling scenes, Jesse Cheng also had to deal with Zhou Zhi with curses.

The identity of Jesse Cheng in this film is different from that of the gangster group in the previous life, but is somewhat similar to Indiana Jones. On the surface, he is a young professor of oriental art history and archaeologist at the University of Hong Kong, but in fact he is highly skilled and often intercepts international criminals. The smuggling trade of cultural relics is a "robber" who is rich enough to rival the country.

The spring day in the capital was warm and bright. When Zhou Zhi arrived, the creative team was sitting on the patio basking in the sun, drinking Zhang Yiyuan's jasmine tea and chatting in Cantonese, English and Mandarin.

"This must be the person who wants to take my life." Jesse Cheng saw Zhou Zhi entering the yard and joked: "I have never challenged the shots I designed before."

Now is Jesse's peak years. He can perform physical movements to the best level. Many of the thoughtfully designed shots come from later classics, such as the handsome guy's "Mission: Impossible" series and the bald guy's "Fast and Furious" series.

However, many of the shots in these two films are computer-generated special effects, and now they have to be implemented in real-life scenes, which Zhou Zhi did not consider in advance.

Therefore, a shot often has to be shot thirty or forty times, causing all the actors to complain endlessly.

Fortunately, it is basically over now. Most of the domestic filming is about campus and museum experiences. Compared with the horrific scenes overseas, they can only be regarded as "literary dramas."

A girl wearing a short windbreaker and thin woolen skirt stood up: "Zhou Sheng, are you here? Thank you."

This girl is Lu Siyi, who was once a pillar of TVB. In TVB's hot water room, she was even encouraged by Zhang Minni to have some misunderstandings and conflicts with Zhou Zhi.

Later, Mr. Liu who was favoring her was slapped in the face by Li Laosan who was behind Zhou Zhi. In anger, Mr. Liu changed his favor to Zhang Minnie, causing Lu Siyi to plummet from the stage.

The funniest thing is that Li Lao Er and Li Lao San are planning to bring the animal head back to the motherland to build momentum for their family. They want to film a movie. They are very satisfied with the thoughtful script. The male protagonist of the movie clearly wants to be Jesse's body. Made.

Usually the screenwriter has the most accurate image of the protagonist, so Li Laoer asked Zhou Zhi if he had a heroine in mind.

Zhou Zhi still knows a lot about Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, but he can only say that movie stars, especially female movie stars, are average. The only one who has some impression is Lu Siyi, who has had conflicts with him. Then I felt that this girl had a subtle personality that fit well with the heroine of the auctioneer in the story, so I casually mentioned her name.

It was a coincidence that the heroine in the story was required to be proficient in Cantonese, English, and Mandarin, which greatly narrowed the scope of character choices. It happened that Zhou Zhi had advised Lu Siyi to learn more Mandarin, but Lu Siyi was hidden by TVB. During this period, I thought of this when I was bored, and worked hard to become a master of Mandarin.

During the interview, Li Laosan even suspected that Zhou Zhi created the heroine based on Lu Siyi, and then complained to cousin An An. Cousin An An even called Zhou Zhi to ask if Zhou Zhi meant this, which made a big mistake. .

Lu Siyi was a blessing in disguise this time, because she had been hidden before. Li Laoer didn't spend much money to let her terminate her contract with TVB, and officially entered the film industry from the TV industry, becoming a "Dragon Girl".

This is not a low start, and judging from the production of this film, it is absolutely impossible that it will not be popular, and even the international impact may be significant.

Therefore, in Lu Siyi's eyes, Zhou Zhi in front of her was a truly noble person. (End of chapter)
