Chapter 818 Wang Tong’s Wonderful Journey (Part 2)
Perhaps because the digital human technology is too realistic, Wang Tong now treats Zhu Qizhen as a real person.
So after asking the previous question, he paused and added:
"Although I don't engage in MR and AR technology, I know a lot about mathematical algorithms. The technical cost of doing this is many times higher than that of copying, right?"
"Cost"
Zhu Qizhen nodded calmly. The powerful algorithm allowed him to instantly understand what Wang Tong meant:
"Yes, the cost of doing this is very high, even extremely high."
“But for the National Museum, there are naturally reasons to support this approach.”
As he spoke, Zhu Qizhen took a deep breath and explained:
"The first reason is more straightforward. If the imitations are directly displayed in it, then it will be impossible to say that the items on display are the originals. This will be detrimental to the exhibition hall in terms of publicity."
"Secondly, this kind of wordless book is very novel from the perspective of tourists' experience. At the same time, because only the old cover is made, the production cost of wordless books is lower, so the museum can give it as a small gift. Tourists.”
"The pages of the wordless books in your hands are actually notebooks, which are practical and commemorative."
"But it's different if it's a printed imitation. Firstly, it doesn't have the practical value of a notebook. Secondly, although its technical cost is low, its industrial cost is much higher than that of a wordless book. If you do a national expo of printed matter, you will lose money."
Wang Tong thought for a moment after hearing this and nodded slightly.
Too.
This kind of deception method used by the National Expo is very interesting, and it can also popularize science and technology to a certain extent.
For example, most tourists will not be angry after knowing the truth, but will lament that with the development of modern technology, even what they see with their eyes and feel with their hands can be fake
Visitors were then told that this wordless book was a souvenir for everyone, and the exhibition experience was basically filled up instantly.
This is not the case with print.
The cost of printing a full-text first volume is several times more than that of a wordless book. Unless the state subsidizes it, given the free reservation rules of the National Museum, it is estimated that it will go bankrupt in a few days - after all, the National Museum cannot learn how to get on the plane like Spring Airlines. Sales promotion from beginning to end?
"More importantly"
While Wang Tong was deep in thought, Zhu Qizhen raised another finger:
"Once this exhibition model matures, it can be spread to small and medium-sized cities across the country."
"Not only adults, but also universities, middle schools and even primary schools can organize similar exhibitions, which will bring unpredictable benefits at the missionary level."
Wang Tong blinked.
Going down to small and medium-sized cities? Mission?
He had never thought about this.
But now that Zhu Qizhen mentioned it, Wang Tong also realized the value of this technology in science popularization, especially in the field of science popularization for minors.
The Internet is very developed these days. Many children seem to know everything, but in fact many minors still have not established a complete world view.
Especially in the cultural field, whether it is science or liberal arts knowledge, many minors are still blank.
In this case, if MR technology can be spread to minors, or spread to small counties in the fifth and sixth tiers, it will be helpful to improve the quality of the entire people.
So if you look at it from this perspective, the MR exhibition at the National Expo is not just a simple exhibition, and the technical cost is naturally not the primary consideration.
After thinking about this, Wang Tong felt relieved a lot.
Then he glanced at Zhu Qizhen, pointed at the unprinted version of "Yongle Dadian" in his and Zhang Ying's hands and said:
"Mr. Zhu, according to you, the two books we have can be taken out of the museum?"
Zhu Qizhen nodded and said with a smile:
"Yes, according to the plan of the National Museum, this kind of small gifts should become popular in the future and can be regarded as souvenirs for tourists."
"In addition, the printed version of "Yongle Dadian" will be available in souvenir shops and the official website of the National Expo. The price will not be very expensive. As long as the National Expo will not lose money, tourists can buy it as needed."
Upon seeing this, Wang Tong glanced at the unprinted version of "Yongle Dadian" in his hand, and carefully put the two books into Zhang Ying's shoulder bag.
This is the first batch of unprinted notebooks issued by "Yongle Dadian". It is of great commemorative significance. Even if it is placed in the study, it is a good little collection.
After Wang Tong collected the books, Zhu Qizhen continued to lead the young couple to the next display cabinet.
Mentioned earlier.
The masterpiece "Yongle Dadian" has more than 20,000 volumes and more than 10,000 volumes. This huge number destined that its catalog index will not be a small number.
Actually.
The catalog alone of "Yongle Dadian" has sixty volumes, that is, more than thirty books.
Except for the preface recorded in the first volume that Wang Tong had read before, the rest of the index contents are relatively boring.
Of course.
The boringness here is just a feeling from the perspective of reading. For historians who analyze "Yongle Dadian", the value of these catalogs appears to be very high.
"According to the summary of Professor Weng Tong's team at Jinling University, we have basically determined the corresponding content of each part in "Yongle Dadian"."
Zhu Qizhen and Wang Tong and Zhang Ying always kept a distance of about one meter, and they led the way while making introductions very gracefully:
"The content of "Yongle Dadian" includes classics, histories, chapters, and collections, covering astronomy and geography, yin and yang medical skills, divination, interpretation of Tibetan Taoist scriptures, drama, crafts, agriculture, and many other aspects."
"For example, Huaben and Zaju are mainly recorded in Volumes 13542 to 14003, with one hundred and two kinds of plays and more than 24,000 Zaju."
"In terms of poetry, it is mainly distributed between Volume 3453 and Volume 4355, which spans nearly a thousand volumes. There are works by Wang Wei, Wei Zhuang, Wang Zhenbai, and Li Qunyu. Many of the poems are not included in the Tang Dynasty Poetry Collection compiled during the Kangxi period. Collected in "Complete Poems of the Tang Dynasty"
"At present, these poems have been compiled in the archives center of the Ministry of Culture. They will be gradually disclosed to the public. Some of them should also be added to the textbooks of primary and secondary school students in the next few years."
"Of course, apart from these, the most important information is historical materials and ancient science - to be precise, ancient engineering and medicine."
Hearing Zhu Qizhen's words.
Zhang Ying suddenly became interested:
"Mr. Zhu, can you tell us in detail?"
"No problem."
Zhu Qizhen nodded happily:
"No problem, let's do it step by step, starting with historical data."
While talking, Zhu Qizhen stopped at a display cabinet, pointed inside the display cabinet and said:
"Ancient historical materials can generally be divided into many categories, such as summarized documents about ancient political systems, historical materials written by historians, local chronicles, etc."
"Historical materials in a broad sense account for nearly one-third of the Yongle Dadian, and there are more than 2,000 local chronicles alone."
"For example, the display cabinet in front of us stores the "Collected Records of Liang Yi", a total of 7 volumes and 14 volumes, recording various materials from the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and parts of Shaanxi and Gansu."
< br>
"It contains biographies, geography, chronicles and other elements. If there are no other new archaeological discoveries in the short term, this "Collected Records of Liang Yi" should become the longest local chronicle in China."
"Of course, this sounds a bit vague. Let me give you an example."
I saw the palm of Zhu Qizhen's left hand swaying slightly in the air, and a volume of "Yongle Dadian" appeared in his hand:
"Before the discovery of this "Yongle Dadian", historians had been controversial about the birth of the ancient Dian Kingdom."
"Some people believe that the emergence of the ancient Dian Kingdom has a certain relationship with the Central Plains, while some people believe that the ancient Dian Kingdom was a civilized tribe that spontaneously formed in the local area."
Zhang Ying nodded slightly.
Both she and Wang Tong belong to the standard Beidiao. Wang Tong is from the Jiangnan area, while Zhang Ying's hometown is in Wenshan Prefecture, Yunnan Province.
Therefore, although Zhang Ying's major has nothing to do with ancient history, the girl still knows something about the history of her hometown.
The ancient Dian Kingdom mentioned by Zhu Qizhen was located in the Dianchi Lake area of Dianhong. It was a landlocked country more than 2,000 years ago.
It has existed for about five hundred years in history and created an extremely splendid bronze culture.
Sima Qian also briefly mentioned this ancient civilization in "Historical Records: Biography of Southwest Yi". In 1955, the ancient tombs in Shizhaishan, Jinning, Dianhong Province began to be excavated. After 14 large-scale archaeological excavations, 50 ancient tombs were cleared. More than 4,000 cultural relics were eventually unearthed, including the "Seal of the King of Dian" that shocked the country, officially confirming the existence of this ancient civilization.
Of course.
The most famous cultural relic unearthed at that time is another bronze drum-shaped shell storage vessel. There are 52 figures, a pig and a dog cast on the drum surface. There is a pair of snake-coiled columns in the center and a tiger on the top of the column.
To the right and in front of the pillar are three naked people, either with their arms tied behind their backs or in shackles, which are supposed to be sacrifices for sacrifices.
The aristocratic woman riding a four-person carriage next to her may be the female slave owner who presided over the sacrificial ceremony.
This lifelike bronze sculpture reflects the mysterious sacrificial culture of the ancient Dian Kingdom. Experts named it "The Bronze Shell Storage Vessel for the Murderous Sacrificial Column Scene of the Western Han Dynasty" based on the use and shape of the bronze. It was listed in the " Among the third batch of cultural relics prohibited for export exhibition.
The ancient Dian Kingdom has always been a representative of mysterious civilization in the field of archeology. The ins and outs of the ancient Dian Kingdom were almost blank in the research on ancient history in my country.
Some people believe that the ancient Dian Kingdom is related to the civilization of the Central Plains, while others believe that the bronzes of the ancient Dian Kingdom are very different from those of the Central Plains and cannot be related to the Central Plains.
Now listen to what Zhu Qizhen means. This one of the unsolved mysteries in Chinese archeology has the answer today?
Then under the curious eyes of Zhang Ying and Wang Tong.
Zhu Qizhen skillfully turned the book to the middle page, pointed to the content above and said to Zhang Ying:
"In this volume of "Yongle Dadian", we have clearly found the origin of the ancient Dian civilization."
"Look here, [When King Wei of Chu first came, he sent General Zhuang Qi to lead his troops along the river, to the west of Luoba and central Guizhou. ... It is three hundred miles wide, with flat land on the side and thousands of miles of fertile land. It belongs to Chu because of its military power]. ”
"[Zhuang Fu's troops crossed central Guizhou and marched directly to Yuannan. Qilan and Yelang looked at the wind and descended, and drove straight to the shore of the Dian River. He wanted to write a letter to report to King Wei of Chu, but suddenly he heard that Chu had fallen to Qin, and the way back was cut off. . So he stationed himself on the Dian River, raised his pole, and established the country of Yunnan, calling himself King Zhuang."
"[Houzhuang Qiu led all the kings of Dian to surrender and followed their customs. In the second year of the Han Dynasty, the southwestern barbarians were opened. The king of Dian surrendered and established Yizhou County. He led twenty and seven counties. The king of Han gave Dian Seal of the King of Dian.】"
"The first paragraph is completely consistent with the records in "Historical Records of Southwest Yi Biography", while the second paragraph is cultural and historical data that has never been discovered before."
"According to the above statement, during the Chu State, Zhuang Qi sent troops to Yunnan and Guizhou and captured Yuannan, Qielan and Yelang. However, when Zhuang Qi wanted to return his troops, he learned that Qin had captured Chu, so he The country was founded on the Dian River.”
"."
After Zhang Ying listened quietly to Zhu Qizhen's introduction, she couldn't help but touch her chin:
"Zhuang Qi, I seem to have heard of this name when I was a child"
Zhu Qizhen nodded:
"Well, Zhuang Qi is a descendant of King Zhuang of Chu. Historically, he did lead troops to conquer Yunnan and Guizhou. However, halfway through the battle, his retreat was cut off by the Qin people."
"Some historical data show that he established himself as king in Yunnan Province, but there are different opinions on his subsequent direction - some people say that he was assassinated by his subordinates who turned against the enemy, and some people say that Qin Shihuang sent a man named Chang Yi after unifying the six countries. He mobilized the people to build the "Five Feet Road" to connect Dian, and finally Wang Jian sent troops to destroy the Dian Kingdom. "
"The emergence of this historical material now brings an end to this controversy."
Zhang Ying stared at the "Yongle Dadian" in Zhu Qizhen's hand for a few seconds:
"Mr. Zhu, who recorded this historical data? Is it reliable?"
Zhu Qizhen glanced at her and reported a name:
"Ban Gu." (End of this chapter)
