Chapter 130 Preparation
I also heard that a child produced a "Jiachuan Dialect Exegesis" - this is another name Gu Youwen gave to "Jiachuan Dialect Field Survey"; and a "Jiachuan Dialect Field Survey"; "Study on Grammar and Phonology of Jiachuan Dialect" - this was the name of the later research work. The two books were highly praised by his father and grandfather, which made Gu Kailai also interested.
Gu Kailai is also a rhyme expert and philologist. In addition, he specializes in "History of the Song Dynasty", "Shi Tong" and "Ji Yun".
"Ji Yun" is a family study. Needless to say, "Shi Tong" is a work by Liu Zhiji of the Tang Dynasty. It talks about how historians in the past dynasties wrote history. The book uses nine It was written in 2000, summarizing all the issues in historiography before the Tang Dynasty, and has a very high historical status.
This research, Gu Youwen, is the absolute authority in the country, and it has now been passed on to Gu Kailai.
"History of the Song Dynasty" is the "overflow" part of Gu Kailai's daily research.
Gu Kailai had already read Zhou Zhi's papers before, and he also liked this little kid who "opened up a discipline of dialect exegesis". His words were actually very kind.
But the psychological pressure Zhou Zhi faced from the three generations of the Gu family was far greater than that faced by Hua Yuliang and Yaojiu. When asked by Gu Kailai, he stuttered.
Gu Youwen couldn't stand it anymore: "Huanzhang, please let the child go. He is only a sophomore in high school. I called you here today to let you hear what the child said about the 'information project', whether it is feasible or not." "
"Grandpa, please let me go. Gu Kailai's pressure from Gu Youwen was similar to Zhou Zhi's pressure from him: "The hospital just established the 'Ji Yun Calibration' project and gave my father 5,000 yuan, every penny." There is nowhere to go, but nothing left.”
"Now our main work still relies on this." Gu Kailai tapped his temple with his finger: "I asked people from the School of Information Engineering. They said that what this child said is indeed the direction of the future, but it needs to be solved. There are really too many problems.”
< br>"Just to give a random example, the GB2312 font currently used in our country only has a total of 6,763 Chinese characters. If it is used in the ancient book information project, it is basically a joke. The difference is at least 50,000 characters. . ”
“There are also information technology talents. , Not to mention anything else, there are not many people who can type Chinese characters with Wangma Wubi with a hand speed of more than 100 minutes. Which unit is not rushing to get people with this skill?"
"Then? Who will enter the vast number of classics into the engineering database? ”
“Storage equipment? Preparation is also a problem. The "Sikuquanshu" alone contains 800 million words. If we want to create such complex index tags as Dawen mentioned, we will need to expand it to at least 1.6 billion. How big is that? Of space! Not to mention running it, just storing it requires two thousand disks!”
"Now the country is unable to carry out many major projects, and there are almost no information engineering resources that can be allocated to our humanities research."
"So, now we can only walk on two legs, and one side is like a da Wen is like this now. He continues to use the old method and uses his personal knowledge and energy to build up;"
"On the other hand, the problems just mentioned need to be made up and solved step by step, so that Dawen can imagine the future. Various The conditions are maturing one by one. "
"To complete these, we need interdisciplinary talents, father, grandfather, to put it bluntly, information engineering technology talents, I am from the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences of Shu University. , I’m really afraid that I won’t be able to keep him...”
It should be said that what Gu Kailai said is correct, and it is very pragmatic. It is also the experience and lessons learned from the practical management of the department, and the two elders. The position is somewhat different.
Today, the country is hungry for information engineering technology talents. There are countless foreign-funded companies that can offer high salaries, and foreign colleges are eyeing them.
Chi Xueli, a big star, basically lives as a maid serving tea and water in this small dormitory. At this time, she said: "Instructor, our college can cultivate talents in this field ourselves."< br>
“You can also keep up with research results at home and abroad, Learn from advanced areas." Zhou Zhi also came up with an idea: "For example, regarding the character library, the traditional character libraries of Hong Kong and Taiwan are probably more suitable for collecting ancient books. Japan and South Korea also have some Chinese characters, which can be collected and integrated. Create the large font library we need.”
“Information technology is actually digitization, converting information into codes. As long as the method is mastered, it is not impossible for us to continue to expand on this basis and finally establish an information-based "Chinese Dictionary" .”
《中文The Big Dictionary is the brainchild of Gu Zhenduo, who is the associate editor. It was published just the year before last, and contains more than 56,000 words. It is known as the "Kangxi Dictionary of New China" and is the philosophy and social sciences of the "Sixth Five-Year Plan". The national key scientific research project has changed the history of China’s “big country and small dictionary”.
"But who will come?" Seeing this child using his father's hard work to suppress him, Gu Kailai laughed angrily and asked three words directly.
"If no one has done this by the time I am admitted to college..." Zhou Zhi looked into Gu Kailai's eyes and said seriously: "Then I will do it."
"Okay! Hearing this, Gu Zhenduo clapped his hands and laughed: "Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!"
Gu Youwen also smiled: "There are two monks in Shu. Huanzhang is the rich one, and Dawen is the poor one. The rich man asked, 'Why do you rely on me to go there?' The poor man said, 'My bottle and one bowl are enough.' '"
Gu Zhenduo then mocked: "How can a person's determination be inferior to that of a humble monk from Shu?"
Gu Kailai was said to have no temper, and could only smile bitterly: "Then I will just wait for the good news."
Gu Youwen thought more, this path is actually very suitable for this child, information engineering technology and ancient times By combining Chinese language and literature majors, even if you can't stick to your hobbies in the future, you won't have to worry about being unable to perform in another major, because those are also talents that the country urgently needs. They are talents, and they will naturally be matched with corresponding treatment sooner or later.
However, the main purpose of Zhou Zhi's visit today is not this. Ku Kailai, "History of the Song Dynasty", if you have this opportunity to ask for advice, how can you not miss it.
At first, Zhou Zhi only inquired about the layout of Meishan, Shu Capital, and Bianjing during the Song and Ming Dynasties, and then gradually deepened into the official system, military system, art, public service, and elections.
Many questions were very confusing to ask. For example, Wang Anshi's research and analysis of the new law and the political struggles at that time were very detailed.
Then Gu Kailai discovered that this boy was quite savvy. He knew that the scholar-bureaucrats at that time used three sets of titles in letters, spoken language, and memorials. He even discussed with Gu Kailai if subordinates would call their superiors "Zhizhou" directly. "County magistrate" and "county magistrate" instead of "prefect", "dayin" and "shaoyin" are details such as whether it is considered offensive or rude.
There is also the issue of prices. There are very few interdisciplinary liberal arts studies. Therefore, the four words "Five Wen for a Dou Mi" have been a symbol of prosperity expressed by historians for thousands of years.
But Zhou Zhi does not think so. He feels that this kind of comment is not suitable for the Song Dynasty. He has also done research on food prices in "History of the Tang Dynasty" and "History of the Song Dynasty" and combined it with contemporary times. He believes that food prices should be kept low. Price may not necessarily be used as evidence that people live a good life.
No matter what era, the quality of people's lives should be measured by the surplus after income minus expenditure, that is, the accumulation of wealth of the family and society. Only then is it appropriate.
In fact, if these three points are discussed in detail, they are already considered as qualified topics for undergraduate graduation thesis, which made Gu Kailai look at Zhou Zhi with admiration.
But of course it feels even weirder. What does this baby mean? Why is the focus so much on how to interact, study, live and work with all kinds of people in the Northern Song Dynasty?
Many issues are as imaginary as the imagination. For example, the colloquial title of the official was something that Gu Kailai had never thought of before. Especially the middle and lower-level officials were basically not the focus of attention of historical figures. Now they are mentioned by Zhou Zhi When they came out, even Gu Kailai found it quite interesting.
Appellations such as "Dayin" and "Shaoyin" were almost custom-made in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but whether this was also the case in the Song Dynasty is just like the word "adult", which is two-pronged and needs serious discussion.
After final discussion, Gu Kailai found several examples and believed that subordinates and common people called county officials "Yi Zai" and "County Yin"; superiors called county officials "Chief Official" and "Chief Min" , "Baili" are all more appropriate.
Calling "Zhizhou" "prefect" is discussed in the Song Dynasty's notes, and Ouyang Xiu used the title of prefect when he was writing an article for others, and his good friends pointed out that it was not rigorous - this statement is okay for colloquial use, but it falls to For things like epitaphs, you still have to use formal titles.
Ouyang Xiu also followed the good deeds at that time.
These nuances must be reflected in the Song Dynasty people who are particularly serious about this aspect and only like to make things complicated.
This is to bring the experts into the ditch. The two of them had sex happily all night, and the discussion was very serious, and they experienced the addiction of traveling back to the ancients.
For the creation of time-travel novels in the Song Dynasty, this night was a huge harvest, and it basically set the tone of creation, which is to "close to the reality of the time."
This is the real life of the protagonist who has really traveled through that society. The traffickers and footmen, singers and actors, officials, generals, kings and concubines he met all have their real living environment and language background at that time, rather than the protagonist and a group of modern people. Together, they put on ancient costumes and performed a modern drama on the stage.
This is the creation mode of traditional literature. This conception alone is much higher than the "rough and ready" style of Zhou Zhi's previous life.
Correspondingly, there will definitely be many things in the novel that are very unfamiliar to modern readers, and Zhou Zhi in the previous life just brushed them off.
Now that I have plenty of time, I am thoughtfully prepared to mark the sources of those little knowledge and stories one by one as "general examples" at the bottom of the chapters for readers and fathers to absorb on their own.
This will undoubtedly add a lot of fun to this novel, and it is also equivalent to a "Song History Popular Science".
After all, in the high-level archeology section, the historical materials of the Song Dynasty will be an important "question bank" for a long time to come, and this period of history in the book is the key point, and you will hit a few questions accidentally.
The book also contains many ancient prose analyses, thoughts, poems and plots written by the male protagonist.
If you can read the whole book through, you should not encounter any big problems in the advanced archeology part.
With these additions, the 4.8 million words of this novel will be far from being able to be completed. At least another 300,000 words will be added, and the number of cited documents will exceed 250.
However, Zhou Zhi believes that it is worth the hard work.
