Riding the wind of rebirth
Chapter 1322: Letters coming and going
It’s not that Zhou Zhi thinks that the research of ancient characters is unimportant, nor does he object to this work. This thing itself is still his own pleasure, but he thinks that his current task is much more important than establishing an information database for oracle bone inscriptions.
And just doing the job well now is actually laying a solid foundation for the future.
After thinking about how to comfort Qiu Xigui, Zhou Zhi said: "Mr. Qiu, don't think I'm trying to shirk. In fact, the work I'm doing now is to lay a solid foundation for the future."
"Take graphic recognition technology as an example. At present, we can let the software recognize the text on the scanned pictures of books, convert the graphic characters into coded characters, and complete the disassembly of radicals and other characters to achieve automatic encoding of new characters."
"With further development of this software, we can use it to scan photos and pictures of oracle bones," Zhou Zhi patiently explained: "As far as I know, only a small part of the oracle bones from the Yin Ruins in Anyang can be put together now. Most of the relatively broken oracle bones were excavated in batches over the years and stored in different archives."
"In addition to dispersion, there are also phenomena such as duplication and redundancy caused by multiple filings."
"It is almost impossible to eliminate interference and put these pieces together to the greatest extent by relying on human power alone."
"Without a technology to solve this problem, the fragments of those few houses will always be the fragments of several houses."
"If our pattern recognition technology continues to develop, one day we will be able to read the front and back edges of oracle bones, collect their data characteristics, and use appropriate algorithms to let computers complete this work for us, quickly converting lost oracle bones into images. The oracle bone fragments must be matched together to the greatest extent possible.”
"Mr. Qiu just said that the biggest problem with oracle bones is the problem of incomplete information. After nearly a hundred years of illegal excavation, the losses have been huge." Zhou Zhi said: "If we can recover the existing fragments and obtain the information above, , there is no doubt that it will be of great benefit to promote our research work."
"Not only that, but even for the broken pottery fragments of the Hongshan Culture and the Yangshao Culture, we can also use such tools to 'electronically assemble' them with computers. Its function does not only benefit the oracle bone inscriptions."
"That's it, let's not force it for now." Qiu Xigui said, and then took down a few thick books from the shelf: "But since you have already started researching the oracle bone characters, I don't think you should stop. Take these dictionaries back with you. In addition to continuing your research, they will also help you build a dictionary. Take them with you..."
After leaving Qiu's house, Zhou Zhi's schoolbag not only did not become lighter, but actually became a lot heavier.
"Looking at Mr. Qiu's attitude just now, it seemed as if he was afraid that you wouldn't agree." Jiang Shu felt a little funny when he realized that Qiu Xigui took the initiative to stuff books into Zhou Zhi's schoolbag.
"Reciprocity is a courtesy." Zhou Zhi said with a wry smile: "We basically keep in touch with these old gentlemen through letters."
"You just told Mr. Qiu that I was interested in the work of the External Relations Department. What did you mean?" Jiang Shuyi asked, holding Zhou Zhi's hand.
She didn't know what Zhou Zhi and Qiu Lao meant when they just mentioned this, but he knew that Zhou Zhi usually would not interfere with her, let alone be detrimental to her, so she acquiesced to Zhou Zhi's statement at that time.
"Didn't Mr. Qiu just say that he has students in charge of the Youth League Committee? The Youth League Committee is the leadership department of the student union, and his words will definitely be useful." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "I just thought of an idea."
"What does the External Relations Department do? It's to solicit sponsorships." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "This is not difficult for you at all. Brother Wu, Sister Xiaojuan'er, Cousin Anxin, and even Li Laosan can do it." Help support you."
"What's left in your card can be regarded as the first sponsorship you got. It comes from the AXA Foundation. I'll just ask Li Laosan to send a letter to your school later."
"In this way, Mr. Qiu will definitely be very supportive of you joining the Student Union Liaison Department, and he will definitely greet the Student Union in person."
"So you have become a person assigned by the Youth League Committee leader personally to the Student Union Liaison Department. If anyone in the Student Union wants to be rude to you in the future, they must weigh their own weight first, hehehehe..."
"At that time, Mr. Qiu may have felt that he always talked to you about things I didn't understand, and he was afraid of neglecting me, so he just said something casually." Jiang Shuyi smiled and said, "In the end, you just thought so much?"
"Did I...did I go too far?" Zhou Zhi was a little afraid of Jiang Shuyi's reaction.
"No." Jiang Shuyi changed from holding hands to hugging Zhou Zhi's arm. She lowered her head and said, "No matter what you do, you do it for me. I'm very happy." After saying it, she said a little coyly: "I'm attending school. No, I didn’t tell you about the foreign affairs activities..."
"Well, there is indeed something wrong with you about this." Zhou Zhi teased.
"Oh, I didn't dare to tell you because I was afraid of not doing well at first." Jiang Shuyi shook Zhou Zhi's arm: "Later, I felt that there was nothing more to say. At the level of communication between you and Fu Xia..."
"If there are such activities in the future, Shuyi, you should participate more. It will be very beneficial to your profession."
"Well, Zhou Zhi, is the money on the card really going to the school? There are a lot more..."
"That's really not a lot of money. You have never seen the handiwork of big guys like Li Laofeng." Zhou Zhi smiled: "And the amount they donated to the Three Gorges Cultural Preservation Foundation is easily tens of millions."
"But donating scholarships is different from soliciting sponsorships from the Outreach Club. It's mainly about raising funds for campus activities. It doesn't take that much to hold an AXA Cup campus karaoke contest or something."
"Well," Jiang Shuyi rested her head on Zhou Zhi's shoulder: "Thank you Zhou Zhi."
Zhou Zhi took out a small box from his bag: "This is for you. This time I went to Suzhou and brought you a small gift."
"What is this?" Jiang Shuyi took the box and opened it: "Ah, what a beautiful little rabbit!"
Inside the box is a small pendant, carved from a thumb-sized Hetian jade material. This jade material originally looks like a jujube, with one end larger and one smaller. Zhu Qinghong imitated the craftsmanship of the Han Ba Dao. I used a few simple negative lines to outline the rabbit's ears, cheeks, lips, and eyes. It looks rough and simple, but in fact it is not extremely delicate jade work and cannot be played at all.
The rabbit itself has a golden leather shell with only a few engraved lines. It can be seen that the meat inside is of excellent quality. Against the background of the leather shell, it looks as white as mutton fat.
Apart from these, there are two small spiral-like decorative patterns carved on the thigh of the thumbnail, and there is no extra carving work.
"You are a rabbit, so I asked the craftsmen to carve a little rabbit for you. Do you like it?"
"It's so beautiful. I like it very much." Jiang Shuyi looked at the little jade rabbit and couldn't put it down: "It turns out that carving can also be freehand."
"Indeed, many jade carvings before the Han Dynasty can actually be classified as freehand works." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "When Gandhara style sculptures were introduced to China along with Buddhism and began to become mainstream in the Northern Wei Dynasty, our jade carving skills Only then did I start moving towards realism.”
"Bring it to me," Jiang Shuyi said softly.
"what?"
"Zhou Zhi, put it on for me." Jiang Shuyi lowered her head.
"Oh." Zhou Zhi quickly took the pendant out of the box, carefully passed it around Jiang Shuyi's neck, reached under Jiang Shuyi's ponytail, and put it on her.
"Have you put it on? Does it look good?"
"It's so beautiful." Zhou Zhi didn't know whether he was praising the person or the pendant.
"Thank you." Jiang Shuyi smiled happily and took Zhou Zhi's arm again: "Let's go, let's go to the station to wait for Xinxin and Xinyi. They should be here too."
