Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 212 Know

"As soon as this statement was made, it immediately ushered in the great development of this knowledge, because its definition includes three aspects."

"The first is to clarify the research object, that is, 'interpretation of language', and there is no 'limitation of time and place', which expands the scope compared to the ancients;"

"The second determines the theory and method, that is, 'French' and 'Implementation';"

"The third is to determine the purpose of the research, that is, 'seeking the system and origin of language and writing'."

"After the program was established, the concept of exegesis has been greatly developed, and many schools have been separated."

"One of them is the 'Division of Labor School', or the 'School of Word Meaning'. This school, headed by Mr. Lu Zongda and Mr. Wang Ning, believes that the core of exegesis is to study the ideological content and emotional color contained in language theory, and the emergence and development of words. Variety."

"Its research objects are: ancient documents, language, and commentaries and exegetical books that explain language in language;"

"The task is: to study the law of the combination of the form of ancient Chinese words, that is, shape and sound, and its content, that is, 'meaning', as well as the internal law of the meaning itself;"

"Its purpose is to accurately explore and interpret the meaning of words in ancient documents."

"Obviously, this school has been greatly influenced by Western semantics, so Mr. Lu Wanger said that the exegesis of definitions is actually the semantics of ancient Chinese."

"If it expands the scope of its research objects to Chinese in various periods, including the meanings of spoken words in modern dialects, it will produce Chinese semantics."

"So Mr. Lu Wanger's exegetical school is actually the school of ancient Chinese word meaning, or it can be called the ancient literature school of word meaning."

"The other school is the 'comprehensive school'. The core figure of this school is my great-grandfather Mr. Gu Menglun."

"The old man believes that exegesis is actually a department of Chinese linguistics. It takes semantics as the core, uses language to explain language, and then understands and uses language correctly."

"So it should be a comprehensive discipline that combines interpretation, translation, and all aspects of knowledge."

"Although semantics is the core, it should never be limited to the scope of semantics. Therefore, the exegesis defined by Shi Zengzu is not equivalent to Western semantics."

"Instead, it should take the content and form of document language as its object, which has the characteristics of comprehensiveness. It should include language and the names, regulations, culture, customs, etc. expressed in language form within the scope of its interpretation. Exegesis should be combined with sociology, cultural studies, etc. at a higher level, which is the so-called extension of exegesis.”

"This is the synthesis school, or 'comprehensive interpretation school'."

"For example." Wei Yi felt a little dizzy: "For example, it sounds like it is very important, but it is just a science of explaining the origin and change of words. Why is it as important as you said?"

"Let me write something." Zhou Zhi picked up his chopsticks, dipped them in the sauce of stewed snails, and wrote a strange text on the table.

On the left side of the character is a "dry" font, on the right is an arrow with an open end, and between the two is a semicircle with an arc at the bottom.

"This is an oracle bone inscription. Guess what these three parts are and what the word means."

"This is an arrow." Wei Fei said, this is indeed the best guess.

"This is the mouth." Master Qiao knew some seal characters, so this is an easy guess.

"Then what is this dry word?" Yang He was a little puzzled.

"Hahahahaha..." Zhou Zhi laughed loudly, "Just do it!"

"Damn, mouth, arrow." Wei Yi frowned: "It doesn't make sense..."

"The stem refers to a weapon. It was originally a fork-shaped frame, used to resist Ge's attack..."

"Hi!" Of all the people except Zhou Zhi, Wu Qiaomu is the most powerful in these aspects: "We fight to defend the country. Later, this thing was covered with leather and turned into a shield."

"Xing Tianwu's relatives, Meng Zhigu is always there." Wei Yi smiled: "So it's this job."

"Then the meaning of this word is simple. I understand that one side is a defensive weapon, the other side is an offensive weapon, and the bottom is a mouth. This is to impart the knowledge of war!" Wei Fei said.

"Yes! This word means knowledge!" Zhou Zhi nodded, "Airplanes are smart!"

"So up to now, the word still retains the earliest shadow. The arrow is the arrow, and the mouth is still the same, but the stem is omitted. Well, offense is always more important than defense." Wei Yi also looked at the word and nodded. .

"That's right," Zhou Zhi nodded, "So in the bronze inscriptions, this word is the same as the previous oracle bone inscriptions, except that the word stem and arrow have been exchanged, and the word mouth is placed in the middle of the two, but moved up a bit."

"When it comes to seal script, there will be no dryness, and it will become like this, which is roughly the same as the current one."

"It contains a lot of information. First of all, the original meaning of this word is that people gather together to explain the meaning of imparting hunting and combat experience."

"In ancient times, the ancestors lived in caves in the wild and lived by hunting. In order to obtain more food and hunt more wild animals, it is very important to pass on the actual hunting technology and experience to the same ethnic group. ;”

"At the same time, in order to compete for living territory, living materials, and even population, combat has become a common practice in life, and it is a skill that everyone must master. Talking about and imparting this kind of skills and experience is called 'knowledge'."

"Through the structure of this word, we can roughly know the time period when it was generated. At that time, there were already defensive and offensive weapons and specific tactics, the concept of long-range attack and process defense, and a professional war knowledge system. And the important position of this knowledge system in the society at that time, combined with other evidence, we can know the status of the people who mastered and can impart this knowledge in the society at that time.”

"This is modern exegesis, the 'comprehensive school' of knowledge created by my teacher's great-grandfather, which is just a little bit of the knowledge I want to master."

"It's really important." Wei Yi nodded: "I understand what the elbow said. This knowledge is to explain the proposition of 'where do we come from' in our country. This is the most fundamental thing of our Chinese civilization."

"It should be more accurate." Zhou Zhi is very serious about these things: "This is the most fundamental thing that has been documented, the most informative, and the spiritual civilization of the Chinese nation after it was born."

"Then sister supports you!" Wei Yi nodded: "You elbow, work hard, and become Gu Lao's disciple as soon as possible!"

Wei Fei's father is a Chinese teacher in a rural elementary school. This knowledge has actually surpassed his accumulated knowledge. He is very pleased with Zhou Zhi's knowledge progress, but he is a little worried: "Yuzi, you said that this knowledge is important, but our ancestors Haven't you been studying this knowledge? It's been thousands of years, and you haven't studied it thoroughly yet?"

Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "It's still far away. The explanation in "Shuowen Jiezi": 'Zhi, Ci also.' If you think Zhizi is a word, don't write it in harmony."

"And "Xu Kai's Biography": 'The speed of knowledge is like the disease of an arrow, and understanding.' Forcibly give meaning to the part of why the word Zhi has an arrow."

After finishing speaking, he tapped the table with his chopsticks: "Obviously, the ancients' interpretation is wrong."

Wei Yi was confused again: "Why?"
