Chapter 743 The Importance of Rare Words


Chapter 743 The Importance of Rare Characters

"Really?" Zhou Zhi said: "Then why I have studied some discussions about writing systems and found that the average Chinese application system also needs about 13,000 Chinese characters; a large-scale Chinese application system requires about 23,000 Chinese characters; a dedicated Chinese application system for government agencies requires about 48,000 Chinese characters; and a large-scale Chinese application system requires about 48,000 Chinese characters. The Chinese application system used in the library may require more than 100,000 Chinese characters? ”

“How can this be so exaggerated?” Li Hongjiang is a master of computer information technology, but he is also a halfway expert in Chinese character encoding. As for the encoding algorithm, He has rich experience in technical things such as font programming and function coupling. However, the concept that a large library requires more than 100,000 Chinese characters completely overturned his cognition.

"It is indeed such an exaggeration." Mr. Gu said: "The Kangxi Dictionary alone has 47,035 Chinese characters. In other words, if our library wants to digitize the Kangxi Dictionary Collection, the GB13000 you have not invested yet will have half of the Chinese characters in the system It cannot be displayed in the system."

Gu Zhenduo also spoke: "The "Chinese Dictionary" compiled by me also contains 56,000 words. If the GB2312 standard is used, it will only be a fraction. GB13000 is only a small amount.”

As an important figure in the history department, Master Tenzin also participated in this meeting today. At this time, he also said: "Don't forget that our motherland is a multi-ethnic country. In addition to Chinese, there are also Tibetan, Mongolian, Zhuang There are more than ten languages ​​such as Chinese and Uyghur. The information coding work of these minority languages ​​should also be taken into consideration. "

Gu Zhenduo felt that it was a bit excessive. The biggest and most important language has not been completed yet, so he couldn't care about anything else, so he said: "This requirement is too harsh, it must be done. Comrades in information technology are taking it step by step..."

"That's not all!" : "In addition to ethnic minority scripts, there are also ancient scripts, such as oracle bone inscriptions. Oracle bone inscriptions don't count. They can be counted as a type of font. But Turkic script, Uighur script, Khotan script, and Xixia script, these can't be counted, right?"< br>
“Director Danzeng, let’s solve the main contradiction first, the main contradiction.” Director Mai’s head was pounding after hearing this: “Second If you want to put away the contradiction first..."

"No need to put it away, there is no solution." Li Hongjiang spread his hands: "The code bits are like a box for putting words. There are only so many code bits, so there are only so many words that can be put in. There are only so many Chinese characters in the GB13000 standard, which we came up with after painstaking research.”

"Besides, we have been using GB2312 encoding for so long. Except for some rare characters, it can basically meet our needs. It has been like this for so many years, and now it has been expanded so much that it should meet the vast majority of application scenarios."< br>
"Hahahaha..." When Gu Youwen heard this statement, he couldn't help but not angry. Instead, he seemed to hear An ignorant child was amused when he said Wuji's children's words: "Xiao Wang is a science student, and he used to do mathematics, 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 nodded.

"Do you know that Dayu's father, Gun, was killed by Shun in Mount Yu because he failed to control floods?"

Now, less than half of the science participants nodded.

"Dayu's father's name is Gun. There are three ways to write the character Gun. Do you know?"

This time even the professors in the liberal arts department are not clear.

"Elbow, for you." Gu Laojiang gave Zhou Zhi the opportunity to show off.

Zhou Zhi had no choice but to continue: "There are three ways to write the character Gun. One is familiar to everyone, with one fish and one department; the second is one fish and one xuan; the third is one bone and one department."

"Gun is Yu's father, According to legend, he was the son of Zhuanxu. It is said that he was the fifth grandson of Zhuanxu, with the surname Si and the courtesy name Xi. He lived in the area of ​​Songshan in present-day Henan, which was Chongdi at that time, so he was called the Chong family, also known as Chongbo. "

"In the Yao period. Floods spread, Gun was recommended by Siyue for treatment The method of building embankments to block the water failed for nine years, and Shun killed him in Yushan. His son Dayu changed the blockage to dredging, and finally succeeded in controlling the water. Later, he passed the world to his son Qi, and started the "family world" in China. This is the era of Xia Dynasty. I always wanted to tell this story, I think it’s because of another uncommon word. "

"Many records say that Yao ordered Zhu Rong to kill Gun in Yushan, and Gun turned into Huang Neng and sank into Yu. Yuan.”

"There are many records about this character. "Gui Zang Qi Zhen" says: 'Turn into a yellow dragon.' 'Zuo Zhuan·Zhao Gong's Seventeenth Year' says: 'Turn into a yellow bear.' "Guo Yu·Jin Yu 8" says :'Transformed into Huang Neng' "Volume 2". It says: 'It turns into a mysterious fish. '"

"Guo Pu of the Jin Dynasty quoted "Kai Zhen" as saying: 'Gun died at the age of three and was not rotten. He cut it open with a Wu knife and turned it into a yellow dragon.'"

"Compendium of Materia Medica·" by Li Shizhen of the Ming Dynasty "The Ministry of Human Resources" said: "Yellow bear is also a dragon." Uncle, Zheng Zichan was called Gun Yushan, which was deified into a yellow bear. , enter Yuyuan."

"Which word should it be? In fact, the above statements are wrong, but the word "bear" is missing, and the pronunciation is "Ni". '."

"Today's Guangdong Province still retains this word. There is a place called Xiong (Ni) Mountain."

"There is also evidence. "Historical Records·Xia Benji" Zhengyi also says: 'Gun's Yushan, It turns into a yellow bear and enters the Yuyuan. The sound of a bear is reversed, and the three points below are three legs. "

" And Shu Xi's "Fa Meng Ji" says: 'The three-legged turtle is called the bear, and the three-legged turtle is called It is Ben, so it is said that the word "bear" means "bear" (Ni), and "bear" means "bear" (Ni)." . '"

"Ren Fang's "Shu Yi Ji" specifically analyzed this word and believed that a creature like Xiong (Ni), 'living on land is called Xiong, and living on water is called Neng.' It should be a beast of the genus Ursus, and it can live in water."

"But bears cannot enter the abyss, so the explanation of Xiong (Ni) as a three-legged turtle is more reasonable."

"And the theory that Gun transformed into a black fish can be understood as the ancient character Gun. Another way to write " The separation of the word "錌" can also be understood as a different pronunciation of the pronunciation of Xiong (Ni)."

Everyone couldn't help but give it a try and found that the pronunciation of "Xuanyu", when combined, is similar to "Ni". It's really close.

“The most important thing is the font. The upper part is Neng and the lower part is three dots. This should be the evolution of a pictographic character. The three dots just represent the three legs of this turtle.”

"Now we can almost prove it clearly. Gun, Ni, (bone system) were all names given to the tribal leaders who lived in the Songshan area at that time. This tribe had a close relationship with fish and had a considerable understanding of floods. Therefore, in the tribal alliance, it was entrusted with The important task of water control ”

"We can also draw associations from the word (bone system). People in ancient times often used a tool similar to a shovel, called a shovel, which was made by tying the shoulder blades of beasts to one end of a wooden stick."

“So can we still start from here? From this word, it can be seen that Gun is actually a tribe that is good at using bones?"

"And Xiong (Ni) is a turtle-like, three-legged beast with similar abilities to a dragon."
