Tracing China: Through history, dialogue between ancient and modern

Chapter 83

The sun rises.

The world is covered with a layer of golden light, and the mountains and rivers are peaceful.

The Suihuang with long hair and shoulders walked in front. His figure was not as burly and powerful as Hou Yi, but his whole body exuded a kind of divine brilliance. Above his head, there seemed to be a "saint halo" floating and lingering. Not scattered.

his shadow.

It seems to be the center of the world.

Dazzling and dazzling, people can't ignore it.

The host Lin Feng followed behind, frowning, he didn't add any special effects for Sui Huang.

Why is there such a scene?

Could it be that when the sage came out, his merits soared to the sky, and when this change was about to "open up the world", it caused the heaven and the earth to resound?
Was it accompanied by visions?

"Everyone, am I not mistaken? Is this the protagonist's halo?"

"Accompanied by brilliance, it outlines a sacred spectacle. It is said that this is the unworldly posture of a saint."

"A new era is about to begin, Sui Huang should have this kind of face."

"Yes, the fire in his hand will run through the entire history of our Chinese civilization, illuminating the darkness of our nation, and it is not an exaggeration to see a vision from the sky."

"I have an illusion, it seems that since Emperor Sui, there has been a legendary "age of gods and demons" since then?"

"That's right, Suihuang made fire, and many myths that were spread later began to be different, such as Fuxi's gossip, Nuwa mending the sky, Jingwei filling the sea, Kuafu chasing the sun, etc. Perhaps since then, The ancients gained some kind of incredible power."

……

The hot discussion barrage on the modern Internet is not nonsense, because Lin Feng also has this indescribable illusion at this time.

After Suihuang made fire, human beings seemed to be enlightened.

An age of mythology also begins.

"Could it be that the deeds of Yandi, Huangdi, Chiyou, etc. are not fabricated, but..."

Lin Feng's eyes widened, and in an instant, he made a decision.

Tracing back to the beginning of the second season of Huaxia.

Don't talk to King Shang.

It is necessary to travel back to the age of mythology and see if there is really a mysterious scene of flying into the sky and escaping from the earth in the period of "Aspiring to the Central Plains".

"The heaven and the earth are dark and yellow, and the universe is prehistoric."

"The sun and the moon are full and the moon is full, and the days and nights are listed."

"Cold comes and summer goes, autumn harvests and winter hides."

……

Lin Feng's heart was inexplicably agitated, and after thinking about it, he followed Sui Huang's footsteps with strides.

"Lin, what are you thinking?" Suihuang said.

"Suihuang, after you, will human beings have a terrible climbing period?" Lin Feng asked back.

"Lin, what do you mean?"

"Back to Suihuang, this junior saw the light of the gods beating on you, and suddenly thought of something. The fire you created can disperse the beasts and the night. Human beings have become fearless. With a qualitative leap, will there be one or two people who will become gods on a high level?"

"Can a fire create gods?"

"Yes, deep down in my heart, this junior suddenly had such a strange feeling."

"Maybe!"

……

Not long after, Suihuang took advantage of the idea that "everything hides fire", broke off flint branches and drilled wood to make fire, creating the first ray of artificial fire.

The fire ignited.

This fire.

Will allow a great race to rise.

This is the end.

In this ancient oriental land, generations of people began to work hard and create history.

"Lin, do you know why that later generations call me "Sui"?" Sui Huang sat beside the fire.

"To make fire with flint wood, hence the honorific name." Lin Feng replied.

"No, there is no Suimu in the world." Suihuang looked at the flames in front of him, his eyes glowed.

"This, isn't Suimu?" Lin Feng asked in surprise.

"This is just an ordinary branch, this kind of wood is only stronger than other tree species." Suihuang said.

According to Lin Feng's knowledge, the legend of Suiren's deeds is "teaching people to drill wood to make fire". The invention of this technology makes people no longer rely on natural fire to obtain fire.

The word "sui" means a tool for making fire. In modern times, it generally refers to flint, and rubbing against each other can shoot sparks.

In the pre-Qin period, it mainly refers to the act of making fire by drilling, that is, using a wooden stick to quickly drill another piece of wood to generate heat and finally make a fire.

Sui Huang raised his head, with a sage smile on his sharp-edged face, and said in a philosophical voice:
"Suizi, although I can't write it, I can understand it by listening."

"Combined with the environment of my era, the word "sui" should mean "through the darkness."

"Suiren, what do you mean? It should come out of a dark tunnel."

……

Unspoken.

One person, illuminating a dark age.

How great?

How majestic?

After a few words, the host Lin Feng was dumbfounded.

How can one not be shocked that an ancient man from the prehistoric era can say such profound truths of heaven and earth?

The image of Sui Huang was suddenly elevated.

Suihuang stood up and said again, "Lin, I actually thought about thousands of things before looking for the kindling."

Lin Feng cupped his hands and said, "I also ask Suihuang for advice."

Sui Huang had an aura that didn't belong to his age group. He used a branch to write some symbols on the ground.

like text.

But it looks like some kind of mural record symbol of the ancestors.

It may be the prototype of the original Chinese characters!
"In this era, there is language, but there is no systematic writing. This is what I created based on observation. I call it the river map."

"This symbol represents water, this one is man, this one is sky, this one refers to tree..."

"I once engraved them on clay pottery, which will be officially named Taowen in the future. With the rise of fire, it will spread to everyone's living place in the future, so that everyone can learn Taowen and learn to communicate."

……

Lin Feng was even more astonished. With text communication, civilization officially began to be born.

With the upgrading of wisdom, various ideas will also collide.

to be expected.

In the days to come, a new era of "cultural contention" will be set off.

Lin Feng asked in surprise, "Emperor Sui, this junior has some doubts. The pottery inscriptions made up of this set of symbols were all thought up by you alone?"

Suihuang replied, "Observing the mountains and rivers of hundreds of rivers and seeing the wandering beasts, I think I can create a symbol to represent each kind of thing. Once this kind of idea comes out, I can't stop it. It's a pity that Tao Wen is only as small as this." points."

Lin Feng roughly counted and found that there are more than 130 characters in Taowen.

As the embryonic form of Chinese characters.

More than 100 words, already very awesome!

To put it bluntly, the countless extensive and profound words of later generations are all extended from here, creating...

Why are Chinese characters pictographic?

It was the ancients who observed everything in the mountains and rivers and were inspired to create the initial prototype characters and symbols in the shape of everything.

pictograph.

It belongs to the great oriental country with a long history.

"I finally understand why Latin symbols are used as text all over the world? Because they don't have this history."

"No, because of them, no saints were born, no pioneers."

"There are countless wise men in ancient China, such as Suiren, Fuxi, Nuwa, Huangdi, etc. It is my China's good fortune that saints have emerged in large numbers!"

"Those from abroad are only worthy of being barbarians."

"That's right, those foreign barbarians still boast about God and history books all day long, which are completely self-fabricated things."

"The only person in the world who created civilization in prehistoric times is my Chinese family."

"Why do our words, which have been passed down for thousands of years, never disappear? Because our words, a few lines of vitality, every stroke and every painting contain the wisdom of the ancients, and they are all integrated into the painstaking efforts of the ancients."

"The so-called four ancient civilizations, besides us, who will inherit them? Words are the best explanation."

"So let's say, each of our descendants should be proud of Huaxia instead of envious of foreign cultures. What kind of culture can they have? What heritage can they have that can compare with my magnificent China?"

"Those collies need to wake up."

"Who would have thought that in prehistoric times, the Suiren family had already created pottery inscriptions."

……

While there is a lot of discussion on the Internet, there are countless professional workers all over the country who are working overtime.

Especially those institutes that study ancient studies, or professors, scholars, etc., are extremely excited.

O ancient pottery!
The initial prototype of the text.

This is a big discovery.

More importantly, some old professors who have studied the history of ancient writing for a lifetime can tell at a glance that the Tao Wen in the program footage contains deep meaning, and every stroke reveals the vicissitudes of historical writing. This is absolutely impossible. invented by later generations.

Inside an ancient Chinese research institute.

A professor wearing presbyopic glasses said with emotion:
"This program travels through ancient times and talks about ancient and modern times. Is it true that you have traveled back in time?"

Someone said, "Professor, man, how could it be possible to time travel? This is just a program."

The old professor said, "But the ancient information hidden in each season of the program is all ground-breaking. How can this be explained?"

Someone else went on to say:

"Who said it wasn't? Just talking to King Wu of Zhou in the first episode alone, and the countless steles of enshrining gods, are already admirable. Later, there was a "Shang and Zhou Canon". What's even more incredible is that the Taishan Beidouliang in the archaeological world Old man, with the host Lin Feng's body shape, he really found the "Shang Zhou Grand Ceremony"!"

"During the conversation with Laozi, in Hangu Pass, Laozi wrote another copy of "Yanhuang Xinyu". It is said that an archaeological team has discovered traces of this great book."

"Talk to Bai Qi, the God of Killing, and re-investigate the relics of the Changping battlefield. The result? Damn it, Bai Qi once dug the Jing River and dredged the Daqin waterway in advance. The experience of the dialogue with the host perfectly coincides."

"If the host doesn't really travel back and witness everything, how can it make sense?"

"There is only one explanation. This host, Lin Feng, is a terrifying ancient cultural genius."

"The wisdom of modern saints?"

……

For the clamor of research institutes everywhere.

The calmest one belongs to Guangtai Building.

Tao Wen?

These Guangtai leaders couldn't understand, but felt that the ancient prototype characters written by Suihuang were very unusual.

Other than that, they didn't think about it in other directions. They simply thought that those Tao texts were temporary props created by the filming team.

In the lens.

Lin Feng also didn't know that the word-for-word pottery inscriptions in front of Emperor Sui had set off such a huge wave in modern society.
