Chapter 151 Translating ancient texts, the people at the Cultural Relics Bureau are numb

"These characters are bronze inscriptions, the characters used in the Zhou Dynasty."

During the Zhou Dynasty, the writing system was large seal script, including bronze inscriptions, Zhou inscriptions and stone drum inscriptions.

Bronze inscriptions are characters evolved from oracle bone inscriptions.

Shiguwen is the transitional script that evolved from the large seal script to the small seal script of the Qin Dynasty.

Zhenwen was most common in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

In addition to these three types, there are many other characters in Dazhuan, but the scope of application is not as wide as these three.

Regarding Lin Chen’s explanation, no one present raised any questions.

Text is indeed a more reliable basis for judging the age of cultural relics.

Things like writing are already evolving. Let alone thousands of years ago, the writing even two or three hundred years ago is very different from what it is today. A lot of information can be analyzed from it.

"Do you know the words on this?"

Wang Jianbin's eyes lit up when he looked at Lin Chen. He was very curious about what the words on the inner tank of the bronze statue were, but he didn't recognize those words from thousands of years ago, so naturally he couldn't figure out what they said.

The eyes of the others also lit up, looking at Lin Chen with a bit of expectation.

Since you know, please translate it quickly.

Lin Chen felt dizzy. How could he recognize the words written thousands of years ago? Isn't this embarrassing himself?

But...

After hesitating for a while, an idea suddenly came to his mind. He did not recognize the words on the bronze statue, but he knew the reason why the bronze statue was made.

Since it is a sacrificial vessel, the words on it must be related to the information he learned.

"Let me try!"

Lin Chen lowered his head and looked at the words on the inner tank of the bronze statue, making a study look.

His actions surprised many people in the live broadcast room.

"Lao Lin, Liu Bu, even understands the ancient characters of the Western Zhou Dynasty."

"What a beast! None of my archeology graduate students know how to do this. You are going too far!"

"Is it possible that Lao Lin is just faking it? Aren't there many ancient characters that have not been deciphered yet?"

"He didn't say he recognized them all. The deciphering of ancient characters often relies on imagination and verification through some known documents."

"It's quite impressive to be able to recognize it. Even experts in ancient writing research often fail to recognize it, let alone he is not an archeology major."

……

Most people have reservations about Lin Chen identifying the words on the bronze statue.

There were many chaotic periods in the history of the Dragon Kingdom, and many inheritances were lost.

There is no one in the archaeological community who can really recognize these writings written thousands of years ago.

This is the truth. Although Lin Chen is indeed powerful, it is almost impossible to recognize the content of the words on the bronze statue.

While Lin Chen was doing research, the person in charge of the construction site finally learned of the situation and rushed over.

The news he learned was that a mine had been dug, but when he arrived at the scene, he was shocked.

Why are a bunch of people gathered there, desperate for their lives?

Watching the landmines, these people are too anxious.

If there is an accident, there will definitely be heavy casualties.

He strode over and said loudly as he walked: "Stop standing around, disperse and wait for the police to deal with it."

"You guys are desperate for your life, what are you doing around the mines?"

His voice attracted the attention of many construction workers, and someone immediately explained: "It was a mistake, there is no mine, it is a bronze."

Bronze?

The person in charge of the construction site hesitated for a moment, and then his face showed joy.

He and his wife won the bet and felt really happy.

As expected of Lin Chen, he made a big move not long after arriving at the construction site.

The person in charge of the construction site squeezed towards where Lin Chen was. Seeing this, everyone else got out of the way, consciously leaving a way for him.

After a while, he had reached Lin Chen's side.

Seeing Lin Chen studying with the bronze statue, he did not interrupt and asked the construction workers on the side about the situation.

I was quite surprised to learn that Lin Chen was actually studying the ancient characters on bronze vessels.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chen actually has such ability.

After pretending to study for a while, Lin Chen finally looked back and stood up straight.

Seeing this, the person in charge of the construction site immediately asked: "What? Do you see what's going on?"

"Cough! Cough!"

Lin Chen pinched his throat with his right hand and cleared his throat.

When everyone around him turned their attention, he slowly said: "This is a sacrificial vessel given by King Zhou Cheng to a man named He..."

He roughly explained the matter to everyone. It was basically the information given by the system, with a little artistic processing.

Everyone was surprised when they heard Lin Chen's explanation.

King Zhou Cheng, although not many of them knew about it.

We still know the name of King Wu of Zhou Dynasty, Ji Fa.

Although The Romance of the Gods is not ranked among the four famous works, the influence of related works is not much different than Journey to the West.

It can be said to be a household name.

Many people found it incredible to learn that the bronze in front of them was actually related to the legendary Zhou Wu King Ji Fa.

The other side.

After receiving the news that Lin Chen had unearthed the bronze, the Cultural Relics Bureau quickly dispatched personnel to Lin Chen's place to handle it.

However, only a few were able to reach the scene.

Many of the people who were not selected secretly opened Lin Chen's live broadcast room to check the situation.

After hearing Lin Chen's explanation, the people at the Cultural Relics Bureau were also shocked.

Things rewarded by King Zhou Cheng.

This is an incredible treasure.

Even in the National Museum there are not many that can compare.

"I just watched Lin Chen's live broadcast, and he actually translated the text on the bronze vessel he just discovered."

One of the archaeologists looked in disbelief and told his colleagues on the side what he had just seen on the live broadcast.

As an archaeologist, he is very aware of the difficulty of translating bronze inscriptions. It can be said that it is quite difficult to translate more than 100 characters.

Even in their bureau, no one can translate all the above contents in such a short time as Lin Chen. If Lin Chen is not fooling those different ordinary people, such recognition ability is really terrifying.

The colleague beside him said nothing. If it were anyone else, he would never believe it.

It is completely impossible to do.

It’s just Lin Chen...

Too many miracles happened to Lin Chen, and he did not dare to make any conclusions.

The office is not very big, and others heard what he said.

One of the people questioned: "Do you think it is possible? How long will it take?"

It has only taken four or five minutes since the news reached the Cultural Relics Bureau. Even if Lin Chen had already started researching before the news came, it would definitely not have taken more than ten minutes.

Such a short time is definitely not enough.

It wasn't just him who questioned Lin Chen's translation, many people present were also suspicious.

This is a lost text.

It’s not that easy to translate.

"What he said is true. A record in "Yi Zhou Shu·Du Yi Jie" can confirm this statement."

"According to records, after King Wu conquered Shang, he was still anxious and stayed up all night. After receiving the notification, Duke Zhou rushed over to ask why. He learned that King Wu of Zhou was worried about the affairs of the city. After some discussion, King Wu of Zhou finally decided to make the capital city

Hereby, the name of the city is Duyi."

An archaeologist who is relatively familiar with the history of the Zhou Dynasty spoke out and confirmed Lin Chen's translation: ""Historical Records of the Zhou Dynasty" also mentioned that when the king became the leader, the Duke of Zhou rebelled and became the king, and the officials in the north took the throne.
