Chapter 1290 is slightly equal
Zhou Zhi is very happy, which shows that after the day of hanging out yesterday, everyone is already familiar with each other and can afford such a little joke with each other.
"Stop making trouble, Xiaowei and I are going to the canteen first. Come as soon as you have finished fetching water." Liu Jiayu waved to Zhou Zhi: "By the way, what do you want to eat? Fried dough sticks, soy milk or steamed buns and rice porridge?"
"Liu Jiayu, you are so partial!" Li Rui stopped first: "Why can't he eat steamed buns?"
"I'm just like you guys." Zhou Zhi didn't dare to offend a girl: "I won't pick."< br>
"Then let's eat better today!" Liu Jiayu rolled his eyes at Li Rui first, and then decided: "Eat meat buns!"
"What happened to you just now?" On the way to the boiling water room, Zhou Zhi asked.
"After the first semester, everyone has gained weight." Li Rui said: "So we have new rules in the dormitory. Everyone supervises each other, not to eat too much, and not to have an uncontrolled breakfast."
Jiang Shuyi explained: "Jiayu She is our housekeeper. Our meal tickets for breakfast are all concentrated with her. We can only eat so much every morning. You are an exception.”
Girls don’t understand how to play breakfast together. Can’t we make up for lunch and dinner? He is seriously not optimistic about this career of girls.
"Elbow, what are you doing today?" Li Rui asked, "How about you go to class with us?"
"How is that possible!" Jiang Shuyi was shocked: "Zhou Zhi has his own affairs. ."
"What can he do? Isn't he just wandering around?" Li Rui is just a curious baby.
After getting along yesterday, Zhou Zhi also knew that Jiang Shuyi should only reveal the student side of herself to her roommates, and nothing else, so he smiled and said: "Shanghai Ancient Book Bookstore is very famous. My tutor said that some information can be found there."
"What information is so difficult for you to find?" Li Rui asked: "If necessary, we can go to the library to look at it."
"The information I'm looking for is very uncommon." Jiang Shuyi smiled and said: "Rui Rui, let's not look for trouble."
"Speaking of which, I should pay a visit to your Director Qiu." Zhou Zhi Then I remembered that besides Jiang Shuyi, I had no acquaintances in Fudan, but when I thought of that person, I hit him again. Shivering: "Forget it, I can't afford to offend you before the font comes out..."
"Who is Director Qiu?" Li Rui didn't know who Zhou Zhi was talking about: "What do you need to find, elbow?" Information?”
“The information I am looking for is about Chinese character interpretation. This will be my future The research direction, of course, also includes various classical literary materials, such as poems from past dynasties, from which the evolution of ancient phonology can also be studied." Zhou Zhi explained: "General materials are also available in Shu University, but those that cannot be found are only in the library. The capital and Shanghai are on the rise.”
“For example, you, Fudan University, have ancient collections. There are 400,000 volumes, among which there are more than 1,000 engravings from the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, more than 2,000 manuscripts and manuscripts, and even more engravings from the Qing Dynasty. There are more than 3,000 unique, rare, refined, and revised editions. Systematically, what I pay most attention to are books like the Book of Songs, as well as local chronicles and Ming and Qing anthologies.”
"Ah this..." Li Rui was dumbfounded: "We still have so many ancient books in our library? Then I'm afraid our library card won't be able to borrow these..."
"So I said don't look for trouble. Well." Jiang Shuyi smiled.
"Then who are you talking about, Director Qiu?"
"Professor Qiu Xigui from the Center for the Research of Unearthed Documents and Ancient Inscriptions at Fudan University." Zhou Zhi said. The friendship between Zhou Zhi and Qiu Xigui began with the research on the word "zuozi" in "Shenwu Fu", but that was just Zhou Zhi's accidental "picking up a leak", which was a hundred thousand years behind Qiu Lao's level. There are more than a few.
However, Zhou Zhi is engaged in exegesis. The so-called exegesis is the study of the pronunciation and meaning of characters. However, Zhou Zhi believes that it is not possible to do exegetical studies only by studying the pronunciation and meaning of characters. He must start from the origin of ancient characters.
The ancient characters here not only refer to the Chinese characters that have been concretely formed since Xiaozhuan, but also from oracle bone inscriptions, bronze inscriptions, stone drum inscriptions, national characters of the Warring States Period, bronze bird seals, lacquer scripts, bamboo slips, stone seals, Silk scripts and so on begin...
Qiu Xigui is an expert in this field. He is quite accomplished in ancient Chinese characters. Combined with Gu Lao's knowledge, it is almost the whole picture of ancient Chinese character research today.
And just like the "spillover radiation" of Gu Lao's knowledge, Qiu Lao's ancient philology research also radiated to pre-Qin history, Qin and Han history, and he is also an authoritative expert in the study of pre-Qin and Han dynasty literary and historical classics.
His "Outline of Philology" and "Anthology of Ancient Characters", Mr. Qiu also listed them as required reading for Zhou Zhi. Then he also wrote to Mr. Qiu about some of Zhou Zhi's methodologies in the study of oracle bone inscriptions. consult.
There are about 4,500 single characters that can be extracted from oracle bone inscriptions. Before Qiu Xigui, about 2,000 characters were interpreted and interpreted, but only about 1,000 characters were recognized by the academic community.
Most of the ones he doesn’t recognize are “proper names”, which Guo Moruo believes are “place names, personal names, clan names, etc., whose meanings can be known but whose pronunciation cannot be read.”
After Thanks to the efforts of several generations of scholars, most of the characters in the oracle bone inscriptions have been translated. However, for many characters that were no longer used after the Shang Dynasty, it is difficult to find clues to the evolution of their glyphs, and it is also difficult to obtain confirmation from later generations of characters. Research It seems quite difficult.
At that time, Mr. Qiu found a unique way and used "subject linkage" to solve many difficult texts.
For example, his first paper on textual interpretation took the punishments of the Shang Dynasty as a research perspective and summarized them as "Five Punishments of the Shang Dynasty Seen in Oracle Bone Inscriptions", which is quite impressive.
Therefore, when Zhou Zhi came up with a set of research on oracle bone inscriptions, Mr. Qiu attached great importance to it and wrote to Mr. Gu asking him to "reduce the burden" on Zhou Zhi so that he could spend more time on oracle bone inscriptions.
Gu Lao backhandedly added an extra class to Zhou Zhi, not as a student, but as a teacher, which made Zhou Zhi want to say, "I really appreciate it."
Although Zhou Zhi called Qiu Xigui "Mr. Qiu" in the correspondence, Qiu Xigui was actually not very old. He was just sixty this year. In terms of academic life, he could only be regarded as "young and powerful".
Mr. Qiu was at Peking University before and now at Fudan, but Zhou Zhi was a little afraid to see him.
Because as soon as he went to see him, Mr. Qiu would definitely argue with Zhou Zhi about the big issue of digitizing Fudan’s ancient books.
Four hundred thousand volumes of ancient books and materials need to be scanned into a digital library. Before the release of Hanwen's third phase large font database and related scanning recognition and translation software, Zhou Zhi would not have dared to even think about it.
Besides, Mr. Qiu will definitely discuss the "systematization" of oracle bone inscriptions with him, that is, establishing a special character library for oracle bone inscriptions. Although this research is thoughtful and very interesting, it is really not in Hanwen. Construction can start before the completion of the third phase...
But Mr. Qiu thinks that since Zhou Zhi Everyone has begun to study the root of characters, which is equivalent to giving radicals to oracle bones. Having radicals means that the text can be searched. Being searchable means that the text research system is mature. The mature system is equivalent to making a dictionary...< br>
So Zhou Zhi should publish an "Oracle Bone Dictionary" to benefit many scholars.
