Chapter Two Thousand Thirty-Five: Examination of Yu Qian
Yu Qian smiled dryly and glanced at the teacher, his eyes full of resentment, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he quickly looked away.
Han Du ignored Yu Qian and asked Qu Yuan with a smile: "I heard that you found a few pieces of the same jade?"
"Yes." Qu Yuan nodded.
Zhu Di even laughed and waved to Han Du: "Han Du, come here and take a look. What are these jade guis written on?"
Han Du stepped forward slowly and saw six pieces of light yellow jade that were over a foot long and about two inches wide neatly placed in a sandalwood box, lined with red silk underneath.
Zhu Di picked up a piece of jade and took a look at it, and immediately frowned: "What is engraved on it?"
I saw some fine lines engraved on it, and although these lines were fine, they were not messy and formed an incomprehensible pattern.
At a glance, you can tell that these patterns must have been carved by humans and cannot be formed naturally.
Han Du walked up to Zhu Di, glanced sideways, and stretched out his hand in slight surprise: "This is..."
"Do you really know him?" Zhu Di heard the surprise in Han Du's tone, and immediately turned to look at Han Du in shock.
He quickly handed the Yugui in his hand to Han Du and looked at him expectantly.
Han Du picked up the jade guide and frowned deeply, then rubbed his fingers on the lines on the jade guide a few times.
"This is... although it is a little different from Oracle, but it can still be recognized..."
"What's written on it?" Zhu Di's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he asked quickly.
Han Du glanced sideways at him, smiled softly and said two words: "Xuanniao!"
"The destiny black bird descended and gave birth to Shang?" Zhu Di's eyes were filled with shock. He really did not expect that on this land of America, he would find something that clearly recorded the word "black bird".
These two words are so important to the Yin and Shang Dynasties. Wherever these two words appear, they must be related to the Yin and Shang Dynasties. This is also very important to China. The Yin and Shang Dynasties are the direct descendants of China!
Han Du was also very happy and nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's this Black Bird!"
"So, this thing is really related to the Yin Shang Dynasty?" Yu Qian quickly came forward.
Han Du handed him the Yugui in his hand and said with a smile: "Didn't you also read the oracle bone inscriptions collected for my master? Take a good look at these two words."
Yu Qian took a look at it, smiled immediately, nodded repeatedly and said, "Teacher, this is really a mysterious bird!"
At the beginning, Yu Qian also read the oracle bone inscriptions collected by his teacher. Although the words were very scattered, Han Du still found the corresponding events, and the meaning of the oracle bone inscriptions was understood.
Everyone looked at Yu Qian and Han Du, wondering how they could understand such words. At the same time, Yu Qian's words also increased their credibility. After all, both of them are eager to learn and will not speak insincerely about knowledge.
Han Du pointed at the remaining five pieces of jade and said to Yu Qian: "This is also an opportunity for me to test how well you study on a daily basis? Look carefully and see if you can recognize all these words.
.”
Yu Qian immediately laughed dryly, lowered his head and complained softly: "Teacher, you are embarrassing the disciple. You also know that the disciple doesn't like this either..."
Yu Qian likes mathematics, physics and chemistry, but that doesn't mean he likes to study such texts. He has seen it before, but he has never studied it in depth.
Han Du also knew that he could not count on Yu Qian, and now he just wanted him to have a better memory and did not completely rely on him.
"You take a look first and then talk."
Yu Qian couldn't resist, so he could only pick up another piece and look at it carefully.
"This... seems to be the word "Shang"...
After saying that, Yu Qian turned his head and looked at the teacher. After all, he had not studied it specifically, so he was not sure about it.
Han Du nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Yes, it is the word "Shang"."
"Shang? Shang from Yin Shang?" Zhu Di quickly took Yugui over and looked at it carefully.
But no matter how he looked at it, this word had absolutely nothing to do with the word "Shang" in his mind.
Han Du explained with a smile: "Yes, it is the word Shang of the Yin Shang Dynasty. To be precise, this character represents the Yin Shang Dynasty. But we can also regard it as the word Shang."
Zhu Di nodded quickly to express his understanding. Yin Shang is just what people call that dynasty in that era. In fact, Yin merchants do not necessarily call themselves Yin Shang.
Just like the Qianyuan Dynasty was just the Ming Dynasty's final conclusion on the Qianyuan Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty would not call itself the Qianyuan Dynasty.
Moreover, this is only one word, not two, so Han Du said that this is the word "Shang", and there is no problem.
Zhu Di took the jade guide and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more amazed he became. First of all, this was the first time he saw such words, and the feeling he experienced for the first time was different.
Secondly, the patterns composed of these winding lines turned out to be characters? Moreover, Han Du was able to recognize these characters. How could Zhu Di not be surprised by this?
Yu Qian received the teacher's affirmation and his confidence immediately increased. He quickly picked up another Yugui and carefully identified it.
"this......"
But this time, Yu Qian looked at it for a long time and still couldn't tell what the word was. He could only smile dryly and raised his head and asked the teacher: "I don't know this word...Does the teacher know it?"
Han Du took a look and immediately showed a slightly surprised look: "This is..."
"What?" Zhu Di immediately put down the Yugui in his hand and came over.
He is now very curious about Han Du's every move, as if he is afraid that if he is a little slow, he will miss something weird.
Han Du glanced at him and smiled faintly: "These two words are Xuannv..."
"Xuan Nu?" Zhu Di frowned: "What does it have to do with Xuan Niao?"
"Your idea is right, they are really related." Han Du smiled faintly, and then explained: "Everyone knows that the destiny black bird came to give birth to Shang, but only a few people know that Xuannv is the Yin Shang.
Mother of the Nation.”
"Mother of the country?" Zhu Di was stunned, and then asked: "Does it mean the mother of Yin and Shang?"
"I don't know." Han Du shook his head slightly and sighed: "Maybe that's what it means, but maybe it's not. It's also possible that Xuannv is not a person, but a status or something. Just like the queen, the mother of the country.
These......"
"After all, the Yin and Shang Dynasties were too long ago and there are not enough historical materials. No one knows what it means..."
After a pause, Han Du turned to look at Zhu Di and smiled slightly: "But what is certain is that Xuan Nu and Xuan Niao are both unique symbols of the Yin and Shang Dynasties."
Zhu Di nodded slowly after listening. Yes, as long as this thing is a symbol of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, it is enough. As for what it means...it would be better if accurate historical data can be found.
But if you can't find it, it won't affect anything.
