The origins and jokes of Chinese characters

Chinese characters, also known as Chinese, Chinese characters, also known as square characters, are the recording symbols of Chinese and are morpheme-syllabic characters of ideograms. One of the oldest written texts in the world, it has a history of more than 6,000 years. The following are the origins and jokes of Chinese characters that I have collected for everyone. You are welcome to learn from and refer to them. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

The origin of Chinese characters

Chinese characters are written by gods. "Divinity" cannot be understood vulgarly. Its form of expression is like Laozi's approach to the Tao Te Ching, Sakyamuni's approach to the Buddhist scriptures, and Jesus' approach to the Bible.

Because it is a divine text, its connotation is broad and profound, and its system is precise and complete. Therefore, it spans more than 5,000 years of historical vicissitudes from its inception to the present. It has always been the most widely used script in the world. It is also the only ancient script in the world that is still active. Therefore, it is also the longest-used script in the world.

Different from the pinyin script that is dubbed as "bird language (which only records sounds but has no meaning, similar to bird language)", Chinese characters can express things relatively directly with their intuitive images and systems. Semantics, so it has the characteristics of "Wangwen business".

Unfortunately, due to the fall of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the true appearance of Chinese characters has been covered in dust along with the oracle bone inscriptions for more than three thousand years, so that future generations cannot see its full picture, and can only learn and use it like a blind person.

Before the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the meaning and use of Chinese characters were mainly in the hands of historians. With the fall of the Shang Dynasty, they either "didn't eat Zhou millet" or dispersed among the people because Zhou deposed Yin officials, and gradually disappeared. Therefore, after Zhou Jiyin, no one can fully grasp the true meaning of Chinese character construction.

This can be confirmed by the fact that the oracle bone inscriptions are completely consistent with the "Six Books", while the bronze inscriptions, especially the Zhou inscriptions and seal scripts, mostly violate the "Six Books". When the Qin Dynasty established the world, Prime Minister Li Si and others made the Xiaozhuan script to unify the script. It had been nearly a thousand years since the Shang Dynasty, and they did not understand the true meaning of the "Six Books". Therefore, the shape of the Xiaozhuan characters they made deviated from the "Six Books". What's more serious is that many of them are completely unable to decipher the shape, meaning and pronunciation.

What’s even worse is that due to Li Si’s suggestion, Qin Shihuang “burned books and harassed Confucian scholars”, which destroyed ancient books and great Confucian scholars who could still preserve and master some information about the formation of Chinese characters. Therefore, when Xu Shen wrote "Shuowen Jiezi" in the early Eastern Han Dynasty, he could only solve the problem based on the mostly unreasonable small seal characters.

Therefore, although "Shuowen Jiezi" has made great achievements, it has mostly failed to touch upon the true original meaning of Chinese characters. Linguistics experts from Xu Shen's time to before the oracle bone inscriptions were discovered and interpreted were in a similar situation to Xu Shen's.

So, after the oracle bone inscriptions were discovered and interpreted, why has this problem not been solved for so long?

First, today’s language experts are trained in the Western cultural and educational system. Growing up under the influence of Western culture, the basic point, thinking mode and argumentation method of its academic research cannot be separated from the framework of Western culture. In other words, it is using the Western deconstructive analysis method to study completely different systematic and holographic Cultural objects constructed from ideas and thinking patterns.

Specifically, if the theoretical system of pinyin writing is applied to the Chinese characters of ideographic writing, its cognition and conclusions will of course be completely different from reality.

Second, it involves a deeper issue, which is the understanding of the foundation and essence of Chinese civilization. So what is the basis and essence of Chinese civilization? It is the culture passed down by gods.

This kind of understanding was clear before the Qing Dynasty, but after the New Culture Movement, especially as the Western scientific and cultural systems and concepts completely replaced Chinese studies and became dominant in the fields of education and thought. , only to gradually become blurred or even denied. If you want to truly understand the history of Chinese culture, you cannot touch its essence without standing on the basis of its own development.

Mandarin

People in the south speak Mandarin. Often reluctantly, as the saying goes, "Lanqing Mandarin" is what it means.

During the Republic of China, there was a certain person who was very envious of being an official, so he put on official airs, acted like an official, and talked in Mandarin all day long. He said to his family: "Go to my porridge box and get my green head." "The family didn't understand and stared down. A certain person was furious and shouted: "You bastard! You can't do anything! You don't know that porridge is called rice porridge in Mandarin. Bamboo is the same as porridge. Isn't a bamboo box a porridge box? In Mandarin, head is called head. "Head" has the same pronunciation as "bean". I have a pack of mung beans in my box. Isn't that a green head?

Make things right after the need has been lost

A certain teacher has quite new ideas in interpreting books. One day, he lectured on "It's not too late to mend the prison when the sheep dies." Two sentences said: "Death means death, sheep, the name of the animal, bu, offering, prison, too prison. Taken together, it means that if the sheep dies, then go to offer sacrifices to the emperor." It’s not too late to go to prison. This means that people don’t have to kill live sheep for sacrifice.”

There is a huge difference between the people. Show off in front of children.

One day, his son came back from school and was doing Chinese homework at home. When he wrote "a huge disparity between the numbers", he didn't know what it meant, so he asked his father.

It was used to describe the suffering of the poor in the old society. Many widows couldn't live anymore and had to hang themselves from the beam. This is called "There is a great disparity between the numbers and the number." From now on, you need to use your brain more when studying."
