Chapter 1860 Daji
If Zhou Zhi were here, he would definitely tell the three of them not to be afraid. Divine spells generally get bonuses in places similar to religious places, and what Lao Chiri is doing , it is not a spell to summon souls or exorcise ghosts, but a "bone divination" that has been very popular thousands of years ago.
The moxa heads used by Lao Chiri are called "micro" in Yi people's divination language, which is similar to the "cheating" method used by merchants to use oracle bones for divination in the middle and late stages. They like to drill holes first and then burn them. The difference between the divination lines is that the Yi people do not repair the bones before burning them, nor do they drill or chisel.
This is also similar to the Longshan Culture and Qijia Culture which were far earlier than the Yin and Shang Dynasties. They can be called absolute "living fossils".
Generally, the cracks created after cauterization are observed. These cracks are called "omen patterns". Generally, one omen is associated with each incident. If you find something unlucky, you can modify the method of doing things in your mind, and do the second divination. Burn again near the first burning point of the oracle bone. If it is still unlucky, you can change it again and perform three divination.
After three divination, no matter whether it is good or bad, there will be no more divination.
The interpretation of omen patterns is a set of knowledge. The best and most auspicious omen pattern is a "ten" character. The upper pattern is called "Gu Wu", the lower pattern is called "Jizhi", and the left pattern is called "Fu". ", the right is called "bi".
Generally speaking, "Gu Wu" indicates destiny, "Ji Zhi" indicates wealth, fortune, wealth, and longevity, "Fu" indicates the interior, the master, and "Bi" indicates ghosts, gods, and enemies. other side.
Of course, this is just the simplest judgment, but the real situation is that the appearance of omen patterns will be very complicated, and the things asked about by divination are also diverse. With such confusion and variety, there must be a rather complicated method. to explain them.
The straightness or irregularity of each omen pattern, the presence or absence of bifurcations, the direction of curvature, etc., must be combined with the matter of inquiry and the characteristics of the inquirer to obtain an explanation.
Now Zhou Zhi is writing a paper, which is also the last one to demonstrate the continued expansion and deepening of the relationship between Jiahu carved symbols and ancient Yi characters. That is, many Yi characters themselves come from this type of symbol pattern, because their writing and pronunciation of symbols are different from those of today. Bimo's interpretation of the omen pattern has the same pronunciation and similar shape.
There are at least a dozen Yi scripts, which are themselves an abstraction of omen patterns. These abstractions are connected with the engraved symbols left on pottery at Jiahu and other sites. Those left on pottery at Jiahu site The engraved talisman may be a "pictographic reproduction" of an important divination sign.
Text needs to have three elements: sound, shape, and meaning. And the strokes of the text cannot be too complicated, otherwise it will be like a picture. Although it can express the meaning, it will not be convenient for writing and dissemination.
At the same time, it also needs to be a character system that is established within a certain range. Personally created characters that are not widely recognized are not considered real words.
If there are only a few isolated characters, it is difficult to express the massive information of everything, so text must be a symbolic system composed of many characters. The fewer basic characters, it means that the combination of characters is longer and more complex, and the more basic characters, it means that the information expressed is simpler.
Except for the last one, that is, the number and types of carved talismans found are not enough, if the Jiahu carved talismans are interpreted in ancient Yi script, they have almost all the above characteristics.
Although there is no direct evidence that the Jiahu talisman has formed a written character system, if it is inherited from a large number of bone-diving customs of the Yin and Shang Dynasties and modern Yi script, then these two "non-isolated systems" are derived from It seems to make sense that the Jiahu carved talisman was inherited.
The Yi people created the initial writing based on the Nabu bone sign pattern, which also provides the academic community with another conjecture about the origin of writing, which is also very interesting.
However, the three little ones who were watching just couldn't understand this. They now use a word from later generations to say, "I don't know how serious it is."
Finally, the smoke of the moxa ball went out, and Lao Chiri closed his eyes in the middle of chanting. Now he used his hands to find the back of the burning spot, and used his fingers to crush the bone plate until the lines appeared. After that, throw the bone plate to the ground.
"Pingwazi, take the bones and shovel some ashes over here."
Liang Guangping gingerly picked up the sheep bones, went to the fire pond and shoveled some ashes, and said, "Grandpa Chiri, is that enough?" "That's enough?" , Bring it here, why are your hands shaking?" Old Chiri said with a smile.
Liang Guangping felt that he had never been as nervous as he was now when doing the most important experiment in his life. After Lao Chiri took over the bones, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Lao Chiri licked his fingers with his tongue, and while reciting the scriptures, he dipped his wet fingers into firewood ash and applied them to the burn spots. The burn marks now became clearly visible.
"Bixian is straight, there is an opponent for the elbow, but the opponent has no ill intentions; Fuxianfu is good for you, this thing is of great benefit to the inside, and the inside also means the master; Gu Wu is the next song, it is also auspicious, and It indicates great luck, so this matter will help the future fortune of the elbow; the omen of good luck is the clearest. The inner curve almost touches the burning point, which indicates peace and hunting.”
“ "Hunted?" Liu Hongtao said inexplicably Its wonderful: "What do you mean? This opponent will become the prey of Elbow? Is it a human or something?"
Old Chiri also breathed a sigh of relief: "Anyway, that's what the Zhaowen said, and that's it. Things happened so coincidentally today that I decided to do this divination, and now it looks like it’s a good sign.”
“Then let’s go back and tell Jiuzi the good news.” Li Lu said now. It feels unbearable.
"That's not necessary. Why don't we all hide it from him and see what Grandpa Chiri's divination predicts today." Liang Guangping and Liu Hongtao looked at each other, and something came to their minds immediately. Yes, this is actually such an idea.
Just as a few people were walking back slowly, Zhou Zhi, who was in a hurry, had already galloped to the gate of the grain station on his white phoenix.
Now that the communication line has been set up, Zhou Zhi logs into the Clover system at the grain station at about the same speed as logging in at the base computer room.
An information technology company famous for anti-virus software and firewalls was broken into by someone who had studied it but thought it was difficult to implement. It was a slap in the face.
Especially since this hacker only targets the Clover system to break through, this is a targeted slap in the face.
"Big Head Fish, I'm ready to go online now." Zhou Zhi dialed Hu Tianyu's mobile phone number, and the two began a sky-high communication between mobile phones.
There was no way, the landline phones of Clover Company were all controlled by the building's program-controlled switchboard, and the call could be eavesdropped by network hackers who had already broken into the system, so neither of them trusted the communication equipment in the building.
"Elbow, don't search for personnel information after logging in." Hu Tianyu reminded: "The other party may also be analyzing your behavior. If you behave differently than usual, it may arouse the other party's vigilance."
"Damn! Didn't I come back in vain?" Zhou Zhi sat in front of the computer and huffed and puffed: "Then you should quickly think of a reason for me to search for users in the system! "
"You are so impatient! You are unreasonable." Hu Tianyu laughed angrily over there: "Wait, we will send you Nuwa's password. Use your own user to do ordinary things, while using Nuwa to monitor the hacker user." "Yes! I am too anxious." Only then did Zhou Zhi realize that he still had a girl in his hand. Such a nuclear bomb.
