Chapter 213 Knowing
"As soon as this statement was expressed, the great development of this science immediately came, because its definition included three aspects."
"The first is to clarify the research object, namely, 'interpretation language', and there is no 'limitation of time and place', which expands the scope than the ancients;"
"The second determines theories and methods, namely 'French' and 'State Examples';"
"The third is to determine the purpose of the research, namely, 'seeking the system and root of language and writing'."
"After the establishment of the program, the concept of philology has developed greatly and many schools have been divided."
"One of them is the 'division of labor school', or the 'vocabulary school'. This school is headed by Mr. Lu Zongda and Mr. Wang Ning, and believes that the core of philology is to study the ideological content and emotional color contained in language theory, the generation and development of words."
"The research objects are: ancient documents, language and annotations that explain language in language, and special books on exegesis;"
"Its task is to study the forms of ancient Chinese words, namely form and sound, the law of combining with its content, namely the law of ‘meaning’, and the inner law of the meaning itself;"
"Its purpose is to accurately explore and interpret the meaning of ancient documents."
"It is obvious that this school has been greatly influenced by Western semantics, so Mr. Lu Wanger said that the philology of definition is actually the meaning of ancient Chinese word."
"If the scope of its research object is expanded to Chinese in various periods, including the meaning of spoken language in modern dialects, Chinese word meaning will be produced."
"So Mr. Lu Wanger's school of philology is actually the ancient Chinese word meaning school, or it can be called the ancient document word meaning school."
"The other faction is the 'comprehensive faction', and the core figure of this faction is my great-grandfather, Mr. Gu Menglun."
"He believed that philology is actually a department of Chinese linguistics. It is a science that uses semantics as the core, interprets language in language, and then correctly understands language and uses language."
"So it should be a comprehensive discipline that combines interpretation, translation and involves all aspects of knowledge."
"Although semantics are the core, it should never be limited to the scope of semantics. Therefore, the philology defined by Master Great Master is not equivalent to Western semantics."
"The content form of literature language should be used as its object, and it has comprehensive characteristics. Language and the names, rules, culture, customs, etc. expressed in language should be summarized within the scope of their interpretation. Exegesis should be combined with sociology, cultural science, etc. at a higher level. This is the so-called extension of exegesis."
"This is the comprehensive school, or the 'full interpretation school'."
"Give an example." Wei Yi felt a little dizzy: "Give an example, it sounds very important, but it is just a science that explains the origin and changes of words. Why is it as important as you said?"
"I'll write a word." Zhou Zhi picked up the chopsticks, dipped them in the sauce of braised snails, and wrote a strange ancient text on the table.
On the left side of the character is a font with the character "结", on the right side is an arrow with an opening and a semicircle with an arc underneath.
"This is an oracle bone inscription. Guess what these three parts are and what the word means."
"This is an arrow." Wei Fei said, it's indeed the best guess.
"This is mouth." Mr. Qiao knew some seal scripts, and this is easy to guess.
"Then what is the word "gan"?" Yang He was a little puzzled.
"Hahahahaha..." Zhou Zhi laughed: "Just do it!"
"Dry, mouth, arrow." Wei Yi frowned: "It can't be explained..."
"This kid refers to a weapon, which is initially a fork-shaped rack to resist Ge's attack..."
"Hi!" Among everyone, except Zhou Zhi, Wu Qiaomu is the most powerful: "Hand in charge of the country to defend the country. Later, this thing was covered in skin and turned into a shield."
"Xing Tianwu's dance, his fierce ambition is always there." Wei Yi smiled: "So this is the one who did it."
"Then the meaning of this word is simple, you can understand it. On one side is a defensive weapon, on the other side is an offensive weapon, and on the bottom is a mouth. This is teaching the knowledge of war!" Wei Fei said.
"Yes! This word is the knowledge of knowledge!" Zhou Zhi nodded: "The plane is smart!"
"So to this point, the earliest shadow of this word still retains. The arrow is this arrow, and the mouth is still this mouth, but the dot is omitted. Well, offense is always more important than defense." Wei Yi also nodded at the word.
"Yes," Zhou Zhi nodded: "So in the bronze inscription, this character is the same as the previous oracle bone inscriptions, but it was just exchanged with the gang and the arrow, and the word "mouth" was placed in the middle of the two, but moved up a little."
"When the seal script is done, it will be gone, and it will become like this, which is generally the same as what I am now."
"There is a lot of information here. First of all, the original meaning of this word is to gather together to explain and impart the meaning of the experience of hunting and combat."
"In ancient times, our ancestors first lived in caves in wild places, and made a living by collecting hunting. In order to obtain more food and hunt more wild animals, it was very important to pass on the actual hunting techniques and experience to people of the same race;"
"At the same time, in order to compete for survival territory, daily necessities, and even population, combat has become a common thing in life, and it is a skill that everyone must master. The discussion and teaching of this skill and experience is called 'knowledge'."
"Through the structure of this word, we can roughly know the time period of its generation. At that time, we already had defensive and offensive weapons and specific tactics, the concept of ranged attacks and process defense, and the professional war knowledge system. As well as the important position of this knowledge system in society, combined with other evidence, we can know the status of those who master and can impart this knowledge in society at that time."
"This is modern philology, the knowledge of the 'comprehensive school' created by my great-grandfather, which is a little bit of the knowledge I want to master."
"It's really important." Wei Yi nodded: "I understand what Zhang Zi said. This science explains the proposition of our Chinese people 'where'. This is the most fundamental thing in our Chinese civilization."
"It should be said more accurately." Zhou Zhi was very serious about these things: "This is the one with the most proof and the most basic thing after the spiritual civilization of the Chinese nation was born."
"Then sister supports you!" Wei Yi nodded: "Come on, come on, and become Mr. Gu's disciple as soon as possible!"
Wei Fei's father is a Chinese teacher in the village primary school. These knowledge have actually exceeded his knowledge accumulation. He is very pleased with Zhou Zhi's progress, but he is a little worried: "Zel, you said that this knowledge is important, but didn't our ancestors have been studying this knowledge? It has been thousands of years, and hasn't it been thorough?"
Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "It's still far from it. The explanation of "Shuowen Jiezi": 'Zhi, ci.' believes that zhi is a homophone for words."
"And "Xu Kai's Biography": 'Any quickness of knowledge is like a speed of arrows, and it is understood.' Forcibly, the part of the word "zhi" is given meaning."
After saying that, he knocked on the table with chopsticks: "It's obvious that the ancients' explanation was wrong."
Wei Yi was confused again: "Why?"
