Oracle discovery is a major event in modern Chinese academic history,"It is also worth a book in the history of world academic history" (Li Xueqin)。The essential element of the history of oracle scholarship,Oracle discoverers have become followers of many related academic fields。The currently recognized Oracle discoverer is Wang Yirong。Wang Yuxin and others, "120 Years of Oracle Development", believes,Wang Yirong "The first identification in 1899、Buy Tibetan Oracle Bone Text,The foundation for the formation and development of international academic oracle scholarship,Therefore, it is respected by scholars at home and abroad as the father of ‘Oracle Bone’ ”。

Discovery about Wang Yirong and Oracle,There is a widely circulated legend。Twenty -five years of Guangxu (1899),Wang Yirong due to malaria,I caught a few Chinese medicines at Daren Pharmacy at the mouth of Beijing Cai City。When checking the drugs,He found that there is a symbol of artificial deeds on the Chinese medicine that blindly called "keel",Pretty text。Wang is a golden stone scholar,Subsidity of the text,Therefore, judging this is an ancient text material that is not known to the world。So send someone to Rintang to go,All the "keel" stored in the store is selected for one pass,Several words to be written,"Details for test,Know the Shang Dynasty Bone Bone,To its text is indeed before the 籀 "(Wang Hanzhang, the son of Wang Yirong)。

Touring,The above legend began in a short article named "Turtle Lanshewen" in the signed Xiong,Published on July 5, 1931, "North China Daily" published in Beijing, "North China Daily", Issue 89。Li Xueqin published "Xiong Weng (Turtle Lanshewen" and Oracle "in 2007,Point out "The discovery of Oracle is bizarre and does not meet the facts"bet365 live casino games 。Mr. Li’s article from an academic perspective to misunderstandings。If you say,Oracle discovery does not start with Wang Yirong eating "keel",So,How did Oracle discovered? Who is its discoverer?,Robbing。

Oracle's first found location is Xiaotun Village, Anyang, Henan Province,It is located in the south of the water in the water here,It is the well -known world of Yin Ruins,Underground buried a large number of turtle -beast bone。The text on these turtle shells is called "Oracle",Also known as "Qi Wen"。Because most of them are divination records,Generally known as Oracle Ci。Over the years,I found some non -resignation document materials in Oracle,But the number is not very large。From the perspective of text,Oracle is the earliest more mature text system in my country; from the perspective of literature,is the earliest relatively systematic historical literature in my country。

The earliest seeing this kind of object is Xiaotun Village farmers。They dug these babies but do not know what it is,So throw it away,or fill the dry well,Some flexible people sell them as "keel" to the Chinese medicine shop。There is a rareler named Li Cheng in Xiaotun Village,I love this。Every temple fair,Li Cheng also sells "keel powder" as a hemostatic "knife tip medicine" for sale。"Dragon" book that day,Therefore, the oracle medicine shop with words is not collected,When betrayal,You need to scrape the text on it,Quite trouble,Moreover, the bid of the "keel" for the purchase of "keel" is extremely low,Six texts per catty,So no one has been looking at this thing。

Guangxu 24 years,Antique Fan Shouxuan in Weifang, Shandong (now Weifang) ran to Xiaotun to buy cultural relics。At that time, the learning of Jinshi Da Sheng,Fan Gu objects with inscriptions as expensive,So Fan pay attention to ask if there is something with words,When asking Li Cheng,Li took out the oracle bone with the word to show him。This is when Chen Mengjia arrived at Xiaotun Bet365 lotto review in 1953,Visit Li Cheng's son Li Quanfu and the elderly in the village He Jinsheng (that is, He San,72 years old) Oral historical data obtained ("Summary" page 2)。

Fan Shouxuan did not know what the Oracle was,Therefore, not acquired。Winter that year,He went to a veteran Gu Wang Xiang's house in Tianjin,Speaking and this。Calligrapher Meng Guanghui (Word Ding Sheng) listening to the fan here,It is believed to be an ancient strategy,Urges him to visit quickly。In the second year (1899) autumn,Fan Cai's "keel" was sold to Tianjin for sale。This is the first official release of oracle bones,It is also the first contact between scholars and Oracle。According to research,The trading location is in a large car shop called "Majia Store",Located in Chunde Street, Jinhongqiao District today、Nan Xiaodao No. 85。

Ben Shouxuan's price is higher,Meng Dingsheng and Wang Xiang and others have limited financial resources,Not much purchased,Fan Shouxuan then brought to Beijing,Sold it to Wang Yirong。The second year,Eight Kingdoms Allied Forces Attack Beijing。Wang's Director of the Study of the Guozi Jianjiu Wine League,After the city is trapped, the country is invested in the country,The author of the "Old Patriotic Travels", the author of the Orthodox Bone in the Tibetan Bone, (Tieyun)。1903,Liu Xun's suggestion to adopt Luo Zhenyu,It will be purchased from Wang Yirong's old collection and more than 5,000 pieces of oracle bones obtained by him to sort out,Selected more than 1,000 pieces,Mo Tuo Stone Seal,Famous "Iron Cloud Turtle Turtle",It is the origin of the Oracle Bonewen。Oracle is widely known for this,Oracle scholarship is also finally in the academic world。

  Research and Tibetan

"Summary" Chapter 1 "General Theory" said,Wang Yirong "The first person to collect and identify the Oracle Bone"。But this sentence seems to be contradictory with its description。Discovery history related to Oracle,"Summary" also has another Bet365 app download description,worth noting。Chapter 20 of the book "Appendix" 1 "Meng Dingsheng Wang Xiang and Oracle Discovery" said: "Except Wang Yirong,The earliest identification and collection of oracle bones,Should push Meng Dingsheng and Wang Xiang。"The book quotes Wang Xiang's" Title Easy Park Yin Qiping Book "saying:" Fan Jia sells ancient utensils to Yuzhai,Seeing in the litigation of the seat,Townsman Meng Dingsheng's uncle heard,meaning ancient Jane,Promoting its car visits,When the Guangxu Winter Winter October also。Fall the following year,Come and see for sale,Famous Turtle Board。"Wang Xiang's" Records of the Title "said:" But Uncle Meng Ding and Yu,Knowing the carving of the ancients,You can see the ink。"Wang Xiang said to Chen Mengjia in 1953:" At the time, the value of the word calculation,One gold per word,The person who cannot get what my goss is,All are carried to Beijing to sell the kings Xunrong,All get three thousand gold。"(" Summary "p. 648)

Wang Xiang is a famous Oracle Scholars,After his death,Guo Moruo is the tombstone "Tomb of Comrade Wang Xiang of Yinxu Text Research"。"120 Years of Oracle Scholarship" Chapter 4 "Oracle Experts in the History of Oracle Development in 120 years" Section 1 "Four First People in the History of the Development of Oracle" said: "The first person found the first person to discover the first person —— Wang Yirong,An Oracle Bone Books the First person -Liu Ye,The first person of Oracle Research — Sun Yanlang,The first person of the compilation of the Oracle Dictionary — Wang Xiang。"as a witness to the history of the Oracle discovery,Wang Xiang's value of the recall of the process of discovery of Oracle,It is unmatched by others' words。The son of Wang Yirong Wang Hanzhang's recovery of Wang Yirong's collection of oracle bones in 1933,Always cited by people,But Wang Hanzhang was only ten years old when Wang Yirong died,"Therefore, everything described from his father'bet365 Play online games s old place" ("Summary" p. 648,The memories of Wang Xiang are not the same as on the same day。

Related to this,There are two problems to be supplemented with instructions。First,Meng Guanghui Collection of Oracle。"Preface Theory" in "120 Years of Oracle Scholarship" Section 2 said "Basically at the same time as Wang Yirong,Wang Xiang、Meng Dingsheng also started collecting a small amount of oracle bones in Tianjin "。What is "a small amount"? No explanation。According to Wang Xiang's "Meng Dingsheng Yin Yin Sequence",When Fan Shouxuan sold oracle bones in Tianjin in 1899,He and Meng Dingsheng "do not date" to buy。Wang's person is limited by financial resources,"Take a pack of small turtle shells in the block,Return to it "。"Ding Lao Lien and Unbearable",Finally, "Buy a huge border and dozens of crooked bones,Task dozens of dollars "。About the source of funds for the acquisition of oracle bones,Wang Xiang also explained: "Ding Lao Gu is not the best than the funder,How to get this giant gold。Gai Qiqi Shu Shou Ji Ji,Shi Guan Wuchang Salt Dharma,Submit travel expenses to,Want to travel to Hubei,Therefore 挹 Betzi,To become a big wish,The so -called thousands of years also。”

Capital comparison,The number of oracle bones purchased by Wang Yirong。Chen Mengjia said: "Autumn 1899,Fan estimates that the 12 version of Oracle is sold in Wang's,Each version of Silver Two Two。"" That is to say,Autumn 1899,The number of oormed bones purchased by Meng Dingsheng exceeds Wang Yirong。But the total number of two collections,Then the Wang family is more than Meng。According to the statistics of Chen Mengjia,"Wang's acquisition of collecting armor bones is about 1200 tablets,No more than 1500 pieces "(" Summary "p. 647)。And Meng Dingsheng hidden,The total number is 430 tablets,Among them, 360 tablets are later returned to the Ministry of Culture。This batch of oracle bones,Chen Mengjia once visited。

bet365 best casino games The second question is,Have Meng Guanghui studied Oracle? If there is,When did it happen? about this issue,Chen Mengjia said in the review,He personally organized the Orthodox bone of Meng Dingsheng,See "Meng wrote‘ sixteen volumes on the foreskin,2 million to 220,Word Essence,Gengzi September 21st night to caress' "。

According to Chen Meng's family: "After the Orthodox is unearthed,The early winter of Wuxu (1898) was the attention of Weiming Fan Shouxuan.。"" Ji Hai (1899) Autumn,Fan Shouxuan brought oracle to Tianjin for sale,First for Meng Dingsheng、Wang Xiang purchases several small pieces,Other large oracle bones,(including the upper half of a whole armor) is mostly belonging to Wang Yirong。"Gengzi Winter,Meng Dingsheng chose the character hidden by the sophistication of the Chinese。"(" Summary "p. 648) These words are rigorous and in line with historical facts,In addition to the number of Tibetan nail bones purchased by Meng Guanghui,This is limited by the historical materials at that time。As an expert in oorms,Chen Mengjia actually affirmed Meng Guanghui as the earliest recording Oracle researcher,This is related to Wang Xiang.。

I should pay special attention to,Meng Guanghui wrote "Sixteen Volume,2 million to 220,Word Essence,Gengzi September 21st night of strokes ",Not many words,But it proves that Meng Guanghui in the second year of Oracle in Gengzi (1900),Oracle has been organized and preliminary research on the Tibetan armor。This is the earliest literature material about Oracle research,It has extremely important historical value value。

Meng Guanghui is a calligrapher,His research on Oracle is mainly concentrated in words and calligraphy,But his communication and influence with the oracle scholarship is not limited to Wang Xiang alone。For example,He has introduced through Wang Yirong's second son Wang Chonglie,Visit Wang's,and can watch the Mo Wang's collection。Now look back at the relationship between Wang Yirong and bet365 Play online games Oracle。Because the collection is more early,The collection of collections is orderly,and association with Liu Ye and others,Wang's has an important impact in the history of oracle scholarship,But his time to buy Tibetan bones is indeed later than Meng Guanghui and Wang Xiang,And so far,I did not find that Wang Yirong had a historical material for research on Oracle。So,It should be acknowledged that Meng Guanghui and Wang Xiang should be the earliest identification and collection of Ortoiptes,Especially for Meng's status in the history of Oracle,It should be written realisticly。
