Fortunately, it's okay to be thoughtful. After all, today is to look at new income, not to guide work.
When it comes to wood carving, Dongyang, Yueqing, Chaozhou, and Fujian are the most popular places in the country. When it comes to stone carving, Jiaxiang, Hui'an, Qingtian, and Quyang are the most popular. But in fact, there are several places in Shu that are very famous for sculpture.
Wood carvings are mainly produced in Beibei, Yuzhou. Because of the "Huguang fills in Sichuan", many craftsmen came to Sichuan. Among them, wood carving craftsmen mainly gathered in Yuzhou, where the driftwood is most concentrated.
The stone carvings include Dazu and Wanzhou. The Dazu stone carvings are a very famous place, and Wanzhou is because Wu Zetian once built a lot of construction in that area, and all the craftsmen sent there were royal-level craftsmen.
In addition, there are places such as Anyue, where the stone carvings in the Song and Ming Dynasties are also extraordinary.
In addition, there is bamboo carving, which is a tradition that has been around since the Ba people. North Sichuan and Liangping in Yuzhou are both very powerful places.
Coupled with the throat function of Chuanjiang River, many master craftsmen came to seek a livelihood, so many exquisite products were left behind.
The only thing lacking is the material. Timber and stone are not very expensive, and transportation is also difficult. This is also due to geographical restrictions.
This also leads to the fact that unless the statues like the Three Saints are well protected by mud shells, the wood and stone sculptures in the Three Gorges area are not old, and the things from the Song and Yuan Dynasties should have weathered and decayed. It's too late.
But it is not a problem for these things stored in Muzong Warehouse. After all, things from the Song and Yuan Dynasties should go to museums, not here.
After the tour, Zhou Zhi couldn't help but feel grateful for the rescue action he initiated.
The value of the things is not small and the quantity is huge. Now it has entered its peak period, and there is no end in sight in the short term.
If we had started the rescue operation one or two years later, it might have been destined that many things would be too late to be rescued and would have to be unfortunately buried under the water.
Although time is very tight now, at least I can barely make it in time.
This place is not only a simple warehouse, but also a research site. For researchers of archeology, history, and folklore, this place itself is a huge library of materials that can be found by casual digging. Many topics to come.
For some topics, there is probably no place in the country where so many samples can be gathered. Therefore, many staff members are surveying, mapping, taking photos, sorting, and summarizing while also conducting their own academic research. It is really a good opportunity to publish a paper. place.
Zhou Zhi was very satisfied with the results of the working group and returned to Shu University after only making some small suggestions on security issues.
He probably won’t be able to go back to school until the semester starts, so he needs to ask Mr. Gu to guide him in studying books and papers, discuss his research direction during graduate school, and continue to prepare for his future doctoral studies.
The surprise that Zhou Zhi brought to Gu Youwen is self-evident. From the beginning, Gu Youwen knew that Zhou Zhi would introduce computer technology into the study of literature and history, but he could not imagine that it could be done on such a scale.
The power of text search engines has been revealed. In order to make good use of this tool, even though the old man is over eighty, he has also begun to study computers seriously. The news media also takes this as a positive example of living and learning. There was some publicity.
In fact, as long as Zhou Zhi takes some of the projects that Clover Company is working on, such as the aggregation of oracle bone inscriptions, the study of the relationship between ancient Yi characters and Neolithic runes, and even the "Yin Shang Oracle Bone Zhen Divination Chronicle", "Xia Shang Wednesday Zheng Perpetual Calendar", "Five Star "Celestial Phenomenon Perpetual Calendar" and "Quarter Moon Phase Perpetual Calendar" are enough to be used as a doctoral thesis, let alone a master's degree. But there is no such thing in the logic of both of them, because of course graduate students have to learn new things, and those mentioned above are all things Zhou Zhi has mastered, so they cannot be counted among them.
"How about I continue to sort out Master Zuzu's "Shu Zheng"? Or work on "Ji Yun" with my uncle?" Zhou Zhi tried to ask.
"Shu Zheng" refers to "Guang Yun Shu Zheng" written by Gu Youwen's father, Gu Shaoxian, in the 1950s. It is a work used to demonstrate "Guang Yun".
"Guang Yun" is a linguistic work written by Chen Pengnian and Qiu Yong in the first year of Dazhong Xiangfu of Zhenzong in the Northern Song Dynasty. Before the publication of "Guang Yun", the rhyme book that people relied on was written by Lu Fayan, a linguist of the Sui Dynasty. "Qie Yun".
Later, there were "Qie Yun", "Tang Yun", "Guang Qie Yun", "Guang Tang Yun", etc., but all of them were partial additions and modifications to "Qie Yun", which meant changing the soup without changing the medicine.
In the Song Dynasty, due to errors in radicals, missing biographies, and unprepared annotations in the old version, the court ordered it to be re-edited. The compiled "Guangyun" has a total of five volumes. The Ping tone is divided into upper and lower volumes due to the large number of characters, and one volume each for Shang, Qu and Ru tone. It contains more than 26,000 words, more than double that of "Qie Yun".
There are a total of 206 rhymes in the book, of which 193 rhymes come from "Qie Yun" and the rest come from the works of later generations.
The great thing about "Guang Yun" is that it was China's first official rhyme book. In the minds of the literati at that time, it became a supreme pronunciation model that must be followed.
In terms of phonetics, since "Guangyun" inherits the phonology and fanqie of "Qieyun" and "Tangyun", and "Qieyun" and "Tangyun" have been lost, so in the complete "Qieyun" and "Tangyun" Before the discovery of "Qie Yun", it became the most important material in the study of ancient pronunciation.
Not only that, the study of ancient sounds and modern sounds also needs to be deduced based on "Guangyun". In the history of phonology, "Guangyun" has always played a role in connecting the past and the future.
In other words, "Guangyun" is a medieval rhyme book that connects the previous and the following, and has accurate and complete records. It can be inferred from the pre-Qin period to the Ming and Qing dynasties. Its importance is self-evident.
However, "Guangyun" also has its own shortcomings. The rhyme divisions are too narrow, which makes it inconvenient for everyone to use.
Tang Fengyan's "Hearing and Seeing Notes" once said: "In the Sui Dynasty, Lu Fayan and Yan and Wei Zhugong determined the northern and southern sounds and wrote it as Qie Yun. Literary scholars shared the pains of its harshness. In the early years of the Republic of China, Xu Jingzong and others discussed it in detail and used it in combination with its narrow rhyme. "
"Guangyun" basically inherits "Qieyun" in terms of rhyme, and also has some enhancements. Therefore, the pain of fine details is not reduced and increased. When using it, everyone can only use some common and some unique ones. The method is to use the same rhymes, that is, they can be used universally when making poems to rhyme, but when used alone, they cannot be used universally with other rhymes.
Because "Guangyun" is important, it has been circulated, and because the phonology of the times began to change, the examples of "Guangyun" being used together and alone began to become confusing. Dai Zhen, Gu Shaoxian's teacher, once wrote "Kaoding" Cantonese rhyme used alone and with four "Sound Table", the senior sister always thought it was more credible and was followed by later phonology experts. Therefore, the rhyme tables of "Guang Yun" listed in general phonology books basically use Dai Zhenzhi's theory, which is consistent with "Guang Yun" 》There are some differences in the rhyme list of the original book.
As a direct disciple of Dai Zhen and Duan Yucai, Gu Shaoxian has been immersed in this art for decades and has many original ideas of his own based on his teachers.
He wrote these ideas and the research results of his teacher into a book, "Guangyun Shuzheng". As a result, this book was destroyed in the turmoil together with another work "Classic Commentary Collection and Notes" It was lost until Jiang Shuyi found it in a used bookstore.
The four works of "Mao Poetry Rhyme", "New School Guangyun", "Guangyun Shuzheng", and "Classic Commentary Collection and Notes" constitute Gu Shaoxian's large, complex, scientific and rigorous academic system , the four works are all written in ancient Chinese, so there are nearly 5 million words.
At present, these four works have not been studied in depth by enough scholars, and they are completely a treasure waiting to be discovered. (End of chapter)
