E gold coins exchanged for a book [Copy link]

 

I exchanged E gold coins for a book and posted this to report it. I guess not many people share the same interests with me.

This is much harder than learning English. Oracle is too abstract.

There is also a vertical typeface, also edited by Professor Xu, but it is too expensive and I cannot afford it.

Indeed, our colleague mailed the wrong copy and sent one copy to the company, which surprised our colleagues.

It's indeed a bit difficult.

The key point is that many characters are no longer available, and there are only about a thousand characters that can be matched with modern Chinese characters. The rest of the modern Chinese characters were slowly derived later.

So there are only a thousand oracle bone characters in this oracle bone script dictionary?

more than.

There are about three thousand oracle bone inscriptions included (the number of included characters cannot be found in either the preface or the notes. The three thousand characters are estimated from the catalog page), but there are about one thousand characters interpreted with modern Chinese characters.

For example, this page

Good stuff. I also look at oracle bone inscriptions occasionally. It is quite interesting to study the meaning and evolution behind the written symbols.

The difficulty of oracle bone inscriptions does not lie in their abstractness, but in the fact that the environment and lifestyle of the ancient people were very different from today, and the culture was very different, so it is difficult for modern people to understand and guess the thoughts of the ancient people. Many oracle bone inscriptions seem to be able to guess something by looking at the font, but reliable interpretation requires context and comparison with other oracle bone inscriptions that use the same characters, and requires evidence to support the interpretation, which is very difficult.

Most of the oracle bone inscriptions that have been deciphered so far are actually the ancestors of today's Chinese characters. They can be identified by comparing with the bronze inscriptions that can be deciphered. However, the recognition rate of oracle bone inscriptions that have been abandoned by bronze inscriptions has been greatly reduced, especially those isolated characters, which are almost impossible to decipher.

The current market is - a reward of 100,000 yuan for deciphering the meaning of an oracle bone inscription, and a reward of 50,000 yuan for discovering the error in the deciphered oracle bone inscription. When the reward was issued, 100,000 yuan was still a considerable sum of money, but no one has received it so far, and only one person has received 50,000 yuan for pointing out the error.

In the Internet age, ancient scripts such as oracle bone script, ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, and Sumerian cuneiform are gradually becoming popular again. Especially hieroglyphics, which now have machine translation, so some people like to use hieroglyphics to send messages openly...

Indeed, it is more interesting to compare oracle bone inscriptions with bronze inscriptions. I have a bronze inscription dictionary at home, so I thought about buying an oracle bone inscription dictionary.

The OP has a wide range of hobbies, including oracle bones. Is he trying to develop AI algorithms, or does he have an interest in archaeology?

It seems that oracle bone inscriptions are truly the cultural heritage of the ancients, and people have not yet fully studied them.

I have seen a very interesting video about oracle bone script on Bilibili before. It talks about the oracle bone script of the word "car". It records a car accident between two people in oracle bone script. There are several forms of the word "car" in it. The different forms represent the appearance of the car before and after the accident. It is very interesting.

Therefore, it would be interesting to study oracle bone inscriptions when you have time, and you will find interesting stories. Nowadays, when children learn to recognize Chinese characters, some of them teach the origin and evolution of characters, which is quite interesting.
