Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1785: If the monk can touch it, I can touch it too

Zhou Zhi continued, "We also used this time model to infer the exact time of the lunar eclipse divination bones in the Nanjing Museum. This model was the method I came up with, and the program was written by An Chunjia, so he was listed as the second author."

"Then can you give him a call and ask him to come to Beijing immediately?" Director Song said, "We really need your model!"

In the subsequent conversation, Zhou Zhi learned that Director Song had just invited some scholars in Beijing to hold a symposium and proposed the idea of ​​establishing a Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasty dating project.

According to Director Song, the Xia, Shang and Zhou Chronology Project is an important cultural project. It is a scientific research project that studies the chronology of the three historical periods of Xia, Shang and Zhou in Chinese history by combining natural sciences with humanities and social sciences. It is a systematic project that involves multidisciplinary cross-disciplinary joint efforts.

This project is not just about the humanities, or even just about the liberal arts. It must also incorporate the research methods and results of the natural sciences, and organize scholars and scientists from the fields of history, archaeology, bibliography, paleography, historical geography, astronomy, and dating technology to carry out joint research in order to study and determine the exact ages of China's Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, and to create conditions for studying China's 5,000-year history of civilization.

This makes the subject huge. The preliminary discussion will set up nine subjects and 44 topics. Once the project is approved, it will definitely become a national key scientific and technological project in the "Ninth Five-Year Plan".

But it is conceivable that such a large project will lead to many controversies and questions. Preliminary estimates show that there are more than 160 scholars involved. With so many people, there will be many different opinions. The biggest controversy is the concern that after all the hard work, no outstanding academic results will be produced.

If it succeeds, everyone will be happy. If you don't do it, at least it won't be wrong. But if you do it and fail, you will really become a national sinner.

I'm afraid no one can bear such a charge. Most of the scholars and scientists who have made achievements in China today have experienced that period. It is normal for them to have various doubts.

It's not easy to make a decision.

In fact, An Chunjia is also very busy now, but Clover has not yet left its university background. The oracle bone splicing project itself is an academic project jointly carried out by the Computer Science Department and the Chinese Department of Shu University, Yinxu and Peking University and Tsinghua University. If it can now further gain a certain voice in the national key scientific and technological research project of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, the improvement of the quality of the school's departments is self-evident.

Of course, we can also get greater resource allocation.

Therefore, Zhou Zhi didn't have to be busy alone. Director Song made a phone call to President Lin of Shu University. When President Lin heard about such a good thing, he immediately instructed Gu Kailai and Mai Mingdong to make sure this matter was done well.

  Then Gu Kailai and Mai Mingdong called Zhou Zhi's cell phone again. Principal Lin instructed that they must make sure this matter is done well, and that Xiao An's other projects should be put aside for the time being, or you should help take charge of them first, and ask him to fully cooperate with Director Song to promote the results of our oracle bone splicing project. If it can be integrated into the national key scientific and technological research projects of the "Ninth Five-Year Plan", I will give you two credit when I come back!

After Director Song heard Zhou Zhi finish arranging everything, he asked, "Who are these two..."

"I am sorry for the inconvenience." Zhou Zhi hurriedly introduced Director Song: "This is Mr. Nitta Dongyi, the original owner of the Fanglei. It was thanks to his generosity that the two national treasures were able to be reunited. This is Mr. Sakamoto Goro, who acted as a liaison to facilitate this matter. He is a famous collector in the island country and has also donated cultural relics to the National Museum."

"We were originally visiting the Li Gui at the National Museum today, because the Li Gui is an important cultural relic inscribed with the record of the Battle of Muye. When we were discussing how to infer the specific time of the Battle of Muye, we talked about the oracle bone splicing project of Shu University and the establishment of the Zhenwen chronology database, as well as the confirmation of several important time specimens. After I told Researcher Wu about the example of using the verses in "Li Sao" into this timetable and successfully inferring Qu Yuan's birthday, Researcher Wu felt that this method could be used to calculate the time recorded in the Li Gui, and thought that he should report it to his superiors, which eventually alarmed Director Song. However, it is inevitable to neglect the guests."

"No, no." Nitta Toichi said, "Today is a day that touches me deeply. As a witness to a major cultural and historical event that is about to take place in China, I can now firmly believe that the decision to return the Fang Lei to China is absolutely correct. You are the ones who truly value the research on bronze ware and bronze inscriptions. The Fang Lei will be a hundred times more valuable if it is handed over to you than in my hands." "Yes, today is a day that makes us feel honored." Sakamoto Goro smiled and said, "It is much more meaningful than simply visiting the National Museum. This country's emphasis on history and culture has also given us a new understanding."

"The situation is still not optimistic. I am ashamed of your praise," Director Song said with a smile, "However, with the active participation of young people like Xiao Zhou, hahahaha, this is called heroes all over the world think alike!"

"For me, this is like a pillow for a sleepy person. It is God's will. The future is always bright!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Before, everyone was full of doubts and concerns, and would rather not move forward, hoping to achieve nothing or make no mistakes. This is completely inconsistent with the spirit of doing research!"

"But I also understand them. After all, people who have experienced special times may think and act differently from young people of your generation."

Director Song stood up, walked around the coffee table and patted Zhou Zhi on the shoulder: "We still have to rely more on you young people!"

Since Nitta and Sakamoto didn't mind and were interested, Zhou Zhi and Director Song were no longer polite.

Zhou Zhi opened his notebook again and simply introduced the Oracle splicing project to Director Song. He also explained the main objectives of this project and the corresponding application software development projects.

This splicing project includes graphic recognition technology, boundary splicing algorithm, symbol intelligent collection, intelligent matching, root analysis, text meaning analysis, divination classification, oracle bone classification, graph database relationship generation, chronological analysis...

After listening to Zhou Zhi's explanation, Director Song couldn't help but be shocked: "You have walked so far?"

"Due to the lack of participation from real masters of oracle bone history, our work is still relatively superficial." Zhou Zhi said very modestly: "I would like to report to Director Song that our current work focus is still mainly on character analysis and interpretation. This part of the work is the strength of computers. Exegesis is also the core specialty of the Chinese Department of Shu University. We have done a lot in this regard."

"However, as for the analysis of the meaning and pattern of oracle bone inscriptions, grammar and syntax, the data in the database has just become abundant, and there are just enough samples for us to start to intervene. As for the sub-projects such as the Zhenwen Chronicle, we are still at the goal of finding 'time samples' with relatively direct and obvious evidence and 'oracle bone specimens of the age'. We also look forward to the active participation of experts and scholars in China who are interested in this. We have repaired this phoenix tree and are waiting for the phoenix to land."

"This is already very remarkable." Director Song couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that we also made the mistake of being careless in our work and didn't often test the bottom line in various colleges and universities. We didn't know until we did, and we were shocked when we did!"

"Oracle bone script and bronze script are originally from the same large seal script system. To use Ah Q's words, if you, the monk, can touch it, I can touch it too, hahahahaha..."

Hey! This high-ranking official is too happy and is even saying dirty words!
