Riding the wind of rebirth

"Really?" Zhou Zhi said, "Then why did I study some discussions about the writing system, and found that the general Chinese application system also needs about [-] Chinese characters; while a large Chinese application system requires [-] characters?" About [-] Chinese characters; the special Chinese application system of government agencies requires about [-] Chinese characters; and the Chinese application system used by large libraries may require more than [-] Chinese characters?"

"Where is it so exaggerated?" Li Hongjiang is a master of computer information technology, but he is also a half-way monk in Chinese character encoding. He has rich experience in technical things such as encoding algorithms, font programming, and function coupling. However, large libraries need more than [-] Chinese characters. This concept also completely subverted his cognition.

"It is indeed such an exaggeration." Gu Lao said: "The Kangxi dictionary alone has 35 Chinese characters. That is to say, if our library wants to digitize the Kangxi dictionary, you who have not yet invested For GB13000, half of the Chinese characters will not be displayed in the system."

Gu Zhenduo also spoke: "The "Chinese Dictionary" I presided over the compilation has 2312 words. If the GB13000 standard is used, it is only a fraction, and if the GB[-] standard is used, it is only a small half."

As an important figure in the history department, Master Dan Zeng also participated in this meeting today, and said at this time: "Don't forget, our motherland is a multi-ethnic country. In addition to Chinese, there are also Tibetan, Mongolian, and Zhuang languages. Chinese, Uyghur and more than ten kinds of languages, the informatization coding work of these minority languages ​​should also be taken into consideration.”

Gu Zhenduo felt that it was a bit too much. The largest and most important language has not been settled yet, so he couldn't care about other things, so he said: "This requirement is too harsh, let the comrades who are engaged in information technology take it step by step... ..."

"It's more than that!" Dan Zeng did not retreat but advanced: "In addition to minority languages, there are also ancient characters, such as oracle bone inscriptions, ah, oracle bone inscriptions are not counted, they can be counted as a type of font, but Turkic, Uyghur, Khotan Wen, Xixia Wen, these can’t be counted?”

"Director Danzeng, let's resolve the main contradiction first, the main contradiction." Director Mai's head got dizzy: "Let's put aside the secondary contradictions first..."

"No need to put it, there is no solution." Li Hongjiang spread his hands: "The code point is like a box for putting characters. There are only so many code points, so there are only so many characters that can be placed. The GB13000 standard is [-] Chinese characters. , we have worked hard to figure it out.”

"Besides, we have been using GB2312 encoding for so long. Except for some rare characters, it can basically meet the needs. After so many years, and now it has been expanded so much, it should meet most application scenarios."

"Hahahaha..." When Gu Youwen heard this statement, he couldn't help not being angry. Instead, he was amused as if he heard an ignorant child speak Wuji's words: "Xiao Wang is a science student. He used to be a math student. Right? So we don’t blame you for having this idea.”

"Let me tell you a historical story."

"Everyone knows the story of Dayu's flood control, right?"

Everyone is nodding.

"Then Dayu's father, Gun who was killed by Shun and died on Mount Yu because of his failure to control the floods, do you know?"

Now, on the other side of the science participants, half of the nods were lost.

"Dayu's father, his name is Gun. There are three ways to write Gun, do you know?"

This time even the professors on the liberal arts side are not clear.

"Elbow, tell me." Old Gu gave Zhou Zhi the chance to pretend.

Zhou Zhi had no choice but to continue: "There are three ways to write Gun characters, one is familiar to everyone, one is a fish, one is a line; the second is a fish, one is Xuan; the third is a bone, one is a line."

"Gun is the father of Yu, and it is said that he is the son of Zhuanxu. According to legend, the fifth grandson of Zhuanxu, the surname is Si, and the style name is Xi. He lived in the Songshan area of ​​Henan today. It was Chongdi at that time, so it was called Chongshi, also known as Chongbo."

"During the time of Yao, there was a flood. Gun was recommended by the four mountains to control the water. He used the method of building embankments to block the water. After nine years, he was killed by Shun and died on Yushan. Qi Qi to his son opened the era of "family world" in China, which is the Xia Dynasty."

"Old Gu wants to tell this story, I think it's because of another rare word."

"Many records say that Yao ordered Zhurong to kill Gun on Mount Yu, and Gun turned into Huang Neng and sank into Yuyuan."

"There are many records about this character. "Gui Zang·Qi Di" says: "Turn into a yellow dragon." "Zuo Zhuan·Zhao Gong 17th Year" says: "Turn into a yellow bear." "Mandarin·Jin Yu Ba" says: 'Turned into Huang Neng.' "Supplementary Notes Volume [-]" says: 'Turned into a mysterious fish.'”

"Guo Pu of the Jin Dynasty quoted "Kai Di" and said: "Gun died, and he did not rot at the age of three. He dissected it with a Wu knife and turned it into a yellow dragon.""

"Compendium of Materia Medica · People's Department" by Li Shizhen in the Ming Dynasty said: 'Yellow bears are also dragons.'"

"Chen Shiyuan's "Mingyi" in the Ming Dynasty said: "Gun was granted to Chong, "Guoyu" called Chongbo, "Zuo Zhuan" called Gubo, Zheng Zichan called Gun and Yushan, and his apotheosis was a yellow bear, which entered Yuyuan. Huang Bear or Yunhuanglong."

"Which character should it be? In fact, the above statements are all wrong. The way this character is written is that the word Xiong is a little less, and the pronunciation is 'Ni'."

"The current Guangdong Province still retains this word. There is a place called Xiong (Ni) Mountain."

"Evidence is also there. "Historical Records Xia Benji" justice also says: "Gun's Yushan turned into a yellow bear and entered Yuyuan. Xiong, the sound is reversed, and the next three points are three-legged." It's clear."

"And Shu Xi's "Famengji" says: "The three-legged turtle is called a bear, and the three-legged turtle is called a ben. From this, the word "bear" is wrong, and a bear is a bear (ni)."

"The interpretation of "Zuo Zhuan" says: 'A bear can do something, and a three-legged turtle can do it.'"

"Ren Fang's "Shu Yi Ji" specifically identified and analyzed this word, thinking that the bear (Ni) is a creature that, "Live is called bear, and water is called energy." It should be a beast of the genus Ursus, and it can live in water."

"But bears are not allowed to enter the abyss, so the explanation of the three-legged turtle Xiong (Ni) is more reasonable."

"The theory that Gun turns into Xuanyu can be understood not only as the dissociation of the ancient character "鮌", which is another way of writing Gun, but also as a different pronunciation of the pronunciation of Xiong (Ni)."

Everyone couldn't help but tried it, and found that the pronunciation of "Xuanyu" was really close to "Ni".

"The most important thing is the font. The top is Neng, and the bottom is three dots. This should be the evolution of a pictographic character. The three dots just represent the three legs of this turtle."

"We can almost verify it now. Gun, 鮌, and (bone system) are all the titles of the tribal leaders who lived in the Songshan area at that time. This tribe has a close relationship with fish, so it has a considerable understanding of floods. , so in the tribal alliance, he was entrusted with the important task of water control."

"From the word (bone system), we can also derive associations. People in ancient times often used a tool similar to a shovel called a shovel, which was made by tying the shoulder blades of wild animals to the end of a wooden stick."

"So can we still see from this word that Gun is actually a tribe that is good at using bones?"

"As for Xiong (Ni), it is a turtle-like, three-legged mythical beast with abilities similar to dragons."
