Chapter 897 Sundial
Xiao Se and Ye Feng used twine to divide the circle into twelve grids.

Sharpen the charcoal pen and write "Zichou Yin Mao Chen Si Wu Wei Shen You Xu Hai" on the twelve grids.

After thinking about it, I wrote the numbers '[-] o'clock~[-] o'clock' and so on after these numbers.

This way she can see the time clearly, so she doesn't have to memorize it, and changing time is also an annoying task.

While Xiao Se was writing, Ye Feng stood by and watched her write. Every time she wrote a word, Ye Feng's eyes lit up with admiration.

"What does this mean?" Ye Feng is a good classmate, so he asked if he didn't understand, "Are these the oracle bone characters you mentioned?"

Xiao Se, who was writing, then remembered that she had told Ye Feng about oracle bone inscriptions, but she did not teach him to recognize these characters.

Now hearing Ye Feng's voice lowered and whispering to herself, she looked at Ye Feng happily and smiled: "Yes, this is Oracle. This is the word Shen, and it is the time from three to five o'clock in the afternoon, and we It’s about the same time now.”

When Ye Feng heard Xiao Se's explanation to him, not only his eyes shone, but he was also excited inside: "Are you teaching me to know it?"

In his mind, only priests can understand these words, because these words are the ability of priests to communicate with the gods.

When looking at Ye Feng's shining eyes, Xiao Se wanted to teach Ye Feng how to recognize these words.

"Yes, this is the word Shen!" Xiao Se wrote the word You (you three times) in the next box. "This is the word You, which is from five to seven o'clock in the afternoon, which is when the sun goes down."

The excited Ye Feng stared at the word '酉' closely, and his nervous fingers were trembling: "Really? Then when this sundial is ready, we can all understand the time and recognize the characters!"

If he really knows these words, can he communicate with God and ask God to protect Arthur and keep him healthy, safe and happy forever!
Xiao Se wrote the character Xu (a sound of xu): "This is from seven to nine in the evening."

"The word "Hai" refers to the time from nine to eleven in the evening when we go to bed."

"This word nianzi is from eleven o'clock in the middle of the night to one o'clock in the morning!"

"This is an ugly word, from one to three o'clock in Lingming."

"This is the word Yin, from three o'clock to five o'clock."

"This is the sign Mao. From five o'clock to seven o'clock, it is the time for us to get up and exercise at dawn."

"Chen Zi, from seven to nine in the morning, we have breakfast and assign tasks."

"Si (si four sounds), from nine to eleven in the morning, we all work hard to hunt and build the Qinglong tribe into a better time."

"This is the word "noon", which is the time between eleven and one o'clock in the afternoon when we have lunch."

"This is Wei, it's from one to three in the afternoon, our working time."

"Understand?"

Ye Feng was very excited. Hearing Xiao Se's question, he nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand. This is Zichou Yin Mao Chen Si Wu Wei Shen You Xu Hai, right?"

"From midnight to early morning at midnight, and dawn at Mao hour, you just need to remember these twelve words, and then put the time on them, right?"

Xiao Se was surprised by Ye Feng's ability to understand, and said pleasantly: "Yes, that's what it means."

She used this to apply time. First, she memorized the four characters of the twelve zodiac animals: rat, ox, tiger and rabbit, dragon, snake, horse and sheep, monkey, chicken, dog and pig.

Just like memorizing an ID card, memorize the first six digits first, then your birth date, and the last four characters will be easier to memorize.After memorizing the twelve zodiac signs, put the twelve hours on top, and go back one hour (two hours) to know what time it is.

Xiao Se is also lazy and doesn't want to apply it, so he writes the time directly on the board, which is more convenient.

Now looking at the excited Ye Feng, who successfully read out these twelve words, everyone was surprised: "You are so amazing! I just taught you once and you already know it. It's amazing!"

If he hadn't known that this was ancient times, Xiao Se would have really suspected that this man was pretending to be deaf and dumb with him, so he just taught him once and he remembered it.

Ye Feng, who had learned twelve words, had his hands and feet trembling a little with excitement. He lowered his voice again and said, "Is this all there is?"

"Do you want to learn more?" Xiao Se raised his eyebrows and raised the corners of his mouth, "When I finish the sundial, I will teach you to recognize your own name, okay?"

"Okay!" Ye Feng rubbed his hands together excitedly. He wanted to know his name now, but he was willing to wait.

Xiao Se looked at the excited Ye Feng, smiled slightly, and continued to make the sundial, thinking in her heart that if the Qinglong tribe gets better and better in the future, she will find a way to make paper and teach everyone how to read.

Especially smart people like Ye Feng, who worship this kind of literature like gods. If he could read and write, he would be even more excited.

Xiao Se still doesn't understand these tribesmen a little. The tribesmen regard those who know each other as being able to communicate with the gods.

If they were literate, they would worship Xiao Se even more!
What Xiao Se wrote on the sundial was also in oracle bone writing, which he learned during his elective course in college.

At that time, there was a college entrance examination student who wrote his college entrance examination essay using Oracle, which became popular all over the country.

Then when they were college students, most of them chose Oracle when they took elective courses, just to see what Oracle was like that could become popular all over the country.

In addition to the Oracle elective course, all the girls in their dormitory also took the guzheng course. They were not good at it, but they were good at it.

Girls choose guzheng, and boys choose basketball and guitar. The purpose of wanting to be single as soon as possible is different.

But he didn't expect that the oracle bone script would actually be useful at this time.

When Xiao Se was writing on the sundial just now, she hesitated whether to write simple characters or oracle bone inscriptions. Later she thought about it and decided to write oracle bone inscriptions.

After all, both Hua Sui Ji and Ye Feng have seen oracle bone inscriptions, but have never seen simple characters. She can easily explain the oracle bone inscriptions.

Moreover, Xiao Se did not write Arabic numerals on the sundial, but wrote simple figures of one, two, three, and four. It was really writing on oracle bones, and those small grids could not write those words at all.

After writing the numbers, Xiao Se asked Ye Feng to make a base: "As long as the board can be placed diagonally on it."

Xiao Se looked at the base and used charcoal pencil and twine compass to calculate 36 degrees: "Make the base inclined like this."

When she visited the museum, she saw that the latitude of the capital was 36 degrees. The latitude of the south was less, so she chose [-] degrees.

Of course, the latitude of each place is different.

Ye Feng had no doubts. He placed the wooden board on the base and repeatedly checked whether the wooden board was the same as 36 degrees.

If you don't do it right, then make cuts and cuts, and be precise to the slightest bit needed.

Xiao Se wanted to say that the general appearance was fine, but seeing Ye Feng being so serious, she couldn't say it, it was too shocking.
