I was born in an intellectual family in Shanghai，Father is engaged in cultural work，Mother works in education。1966，I graduated from elementary school。At that time，Classmate、It is popular among friends to exchange novels with each other in private。Because I am eager for books，I once secretly traded app bet365 download brother’s bicycle with a friend for a copy of Tolstoy’s “Resurrection”，As "capital" in exchange for world famous books in the future。Because the school was closed at that time，No school to go to，I simply indulge in reading classics from various countries at home，It’s like living in a different world。

13-year-old me，I feel that I can find spiritual sustenance and happiness in books，You can forget your worries。Fortunately there is a used bookstore near app bet365 download home，I often read books、A place to kill time。For a while，I also go to the scrap collection station every day，People waiting to sell “waste paper books” in bundles，I once selected a set of "Chinese Loose-leaf Anthology" at a low price，I still remember how excited I was at that time。Me at that time，Hungry for reading，Both the good and the bad are alike，Just to kill time。Thinking about it now，app bet365 download initial knowledge was probably accumulated during this period。

　　一

Winter 1969，Father returned home from Shanghai Museum to undergo political review，Fortunately, there is still some history at home、Art、Archaeology and Oracle Bones、Books in the fields of ancient bronze inscriptions and other fields。He was writing materials，While secretly reading Sima Qian's "Historical Records" and Chen Mengjia's "A Summary of Yin Ruins Oracles"。Later，Father through Mr. Gu Tinglong，Borrowed Dao Bangnan's "Yinxu Divinations Comprehensive Class" (hereinafter referred to as "Zong Class") from the Shanghai Library，I have been sharpening my sword for ten years、The epoch-making app bet365 download Reference Book，I just can’t put it down。There were no photocopiers at that time，My father asked me to help him transcribe the "General·Pretend_Synonymous Use Cases" and "Word Search Index" parts。

From then on，I started to become curious and interested in app bet365 download，Even in dreams，Every eye is full of app bet365 download bones。Twenty years later，I came to the Institute of Oriental Culture, University of Tokyo, Japan，When Mr. Michio Matsumaru took out the original manuscript of Shima Kunio's "Zonglei" manuscript，My heart is extremely shocked，very emotional。Mr. Shima Kuni, who has been dead for many years, would never think of it，It is his book，Let a young woman from a foreign country enter the world of app bet365 download，Changed her life。

Spring 1970，I went to Su County to jump in line，In addition to carrying some foreign classics and biographies with you，There is also a box of Oracle cards given to me by my father。That was the system of Shandong Museum of Literature and History in the early days of the founding of New China、"app bet365 download Block Characters" compiled by Zuo Yixiu，1155 square characters recorded，app bet365 download script written on the front，Written in regular script on the back、Chinese pronunciation and simple annotations，One is the original character，One is the common meaning，It’s very similar to a picture-based reading book for young children。There is also a wire-bound version of "Word Mengqiu" and Tianxu Wosheng's "Baixiang Ci Pu"。

Those years of jumping in line，I was recommended to Shanghai Foreign Affairs University and the Department of Archeology of NTU three times in a row。Because my father failed the political review，I’ve been kicked down again and again，It was a big blow to my spirit。My father comforted me while writing a letter，University has no walls，He made a study plan for me。First learn to look up "Shuowen Jiezi"，And began to read the works of early app bet365 download scholars，Ru Zhu Fangpu、Yu Shengwu、Wu Qichang、Yang Shuda、Shang Chengzuo and other seniors，From different scholars’ interpretations of oracles，Learn their interpretation methods。Among them，Tang Lan's "Yinxu Script Notes" (mimeographed version of Peking University Lectures) and Hu Houxuan's "app bet365 download Studies and Business History Series", "app bet365 download Compilation", "app bet365 download Script Research" and other books，It helped me a lot to get started，I still feel that I have benefited a lot。

Remember my birthday one year，My father purchased for me a 12-volume set of lithographic pocket editions of "The Compilation of Classics" and "Zhou Rites" published by the Harvard-Yenching Institute from a second-hand bookstore in Shanghai. The reference books were given to me as a gift。Guo Moruo's "Yin Qicui"，I am reading while reading，taking notes。My father also gave me app bet365 download rubbings from different periods，Let me try to identify the characteristics of the evolution of Zhenren Group’s writing style in the five periods of inscriptions。For a beginner，This is one of the very important foundations that must be mastered。

September 1978，As a special talent, I was transferred from the Suxian Fertilizer Factory in Anhui Province to the Special-grade Painting and Calligraphy Warehouse Custody Department of the Anhui Provincial Museum。December of the same year，I am honored to participate in the first seminar of the Paleoglyphs Society held by Jilin University。Representatives at the meeting raised questions about the staging of app bet365 download bones and other issues in Li Xueqin's article "On the Age of Fuhao's Tomb and Related Issues"，Intense debate and discussion。I read out my first paper "Some additional comments on "On the age of Fuhao's tomb and related issues"。

The first issue of "Research on Ancient Characters" is being published，This short article of mine was reviewed and rejected by Mr. Zhang Zhengxang。He doesn’t agree with app bet365 download proposal，I asked Mr. Zhao Cheng to give me a letter，The letter said:

Shen Jianhua cannot be used。Cannot be used even after modification。Advance the calendar group inscriptions to Wuding time，This theory cannot be established，Barely pieced together a few pieces of evidence，Plausible，Cannot solve the problem。Do not erase pencil marks，Can be shown to the author，If you are a motivated young man，Thank you，Won’t hate app bet365 download。

14th (January 1980)

Mr. Zhang may not bear to let app bet365 download go astray，Look up to app bet365 download，Otherwise he wouldn’t have written app bet365 download a personal letter。I have never met Mr. Zhang，I unexpectedly received his teachings，It is also a kind of fate for app bet365 download，I am still grateful to Mr. Zhang to this day。Open this treasured letter for more than 40 years、A letter with the stains of time，It feels like a world away，There is always an indescribable emotion and sadness。

Today，Mr. Li Xueqin’s "Two Lineages" Dating，That is, "a king's world"，There is more than one kind of divination，A kind of divination may not be limited to one king’s generation”，This short 24-character "Two Systems Theory"，Becomes a classic saying in today’s oracle bone staging，has been generally recognized by the academic community。If you say，1940s，Mr. Dong Zuobin’s periodization established the five-period method，So since the 1970s, Mr. Li started to reflect on the oracle bone period calendar group inscriptions，Created the "Two Series Theory" app bet365 download Periodization。New theory has developed into a system，Has a profound impact on oracle bone research。

Since the 1980s，Oracle research ushered in a golden age，It is precisely because of the concentration of data，Provides an unprecedented superior environment for academic research。Nearly 100,000 pieces of oracle bones，How to be better utilized by scholars in different majors？April 1983，I was invited to visit the Institute of Chinese Culture at the Chinese University of Hong Kong，Mr. Rao Zongyi proposed to me，To be "more fast, more economical"、app bet365 download finishing project that is different from previous versions。After repeated weighing，I think the only way to do this is to create an Oracle classification vocabulary index，Category each published inscription, select, copy and compile them，can be used by scholars in different majors。April 1984，I return to Anhui Provincial Museum，The academic conditions here are far less convenient than those in Shanghai，So I made a bold decision: lay off without pay，Back home in Shanghai to compile "app bet365 download Inspection"。My decision has the full support of my parents。

February 1988，by Hu Houxuan、Recommended by Mr. Li Xueqin，I am qualified as a supplementary member with extraordinary attendance，Obtained the opportunity to participate in the large-scale oracle bone reference book project "A Survey of the Interpretation app bet365 download Script" hosted by Professor Michio Matsumaru from the Institute of Oriental Culture, University of Tokyo, Japan。

This book combines the vast research results app bet365 download inscriptions，Comprehensive summary in the form of "interpretation"，To edit at a glance。The purpose of compiling this book is to do basic work for the future research and development of Oracle。1904 books from 1904 to 1988、In papers with 471 authors，Contains about 25,000 interpretations in total，Classified and edited according to the format of "Oracle Bone Inscriptions" (1965 edition) compiled by the Institute of Archeology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (now the Institute of Archeology, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences)，The collected interpretations are arranged in chronological order in table form，Clear effect。Therefore，The purpose of compiling this book is not limited to retrieval of interpretations，At the same time, you can also browse through the definitions of each collected text，A comprehensive summary of the history of text research。

I am assigned to Takashima Kenichi’s laboratory，Make Chinese literature essay word interpretation summary cards first，These basic work gave me the opportunity to browse the rich app bet365 download-bone books collected by the Institute of Oriental Culture and various magazines at home and abroad，Especially in Taiwan, there are quite a lot of magazines and books on the study of ancient writings，At the same time, he received rigorous work training from Mr. Takashima，This had a great influence on my later approach to learning。

Next，I also sorted out the mutual reference numbering work of "Oracle Bone Inscriptions" and "Zonglei"。Because the search methods of these two books are completely different，Completing from each other，I have truly realized the convenience and superiority of "Zongcai" in creating natural classification search，The "Oracle Bone Inscriptions" is based on the radicals of "Shuowen" in the Han Dynasty，Many unknown oracle bone characters、A large number of homologous versions are placed in the "Appendix" outside Volume 14 of "Oracle Bone Inscriptions"，It is extremely inconvenient for readers to search。Therefore，Mr. Takashima simply made a retrieval table based on the "Appendix" of "Oracle Bone Inscriptions" in the style of "Comprehensive Classification"。The two masterpieces "A Comprehensive Survey app bet365 download Script Interpretations" published in 1993 and "Zonglei" by Dao Bangnan，It can be said that they complement each other。

　October 1991，I bid farewell to my three years and nine months of living in Japan，At the invitation of Mr. Rao Tsung-I，Second visit to the Institute of Chinese Culture, The Chinese University of Hong Kong，Continue to complete the compilation of "app bet365 download Inspection" in collaboration with Mr. Jao Zongyi，Published one to five volumes successively (first the Duke and the first Wang Zhenren、Fangguo place name、Astronomy and Meteorology、Official figures、Tian hunt)。When I come，It is the time when Professor Chen Fangzheng is appointed as the director of the institute，He was formerly the Secretary-General of CUHK，Has rich administrative work experience and organizational skills，He is a Ph.D. in physics，Always have a unique scientific and modern thinking and enthusiasm for traditional culture。With the expansion of the business of each center in the institute，The number of famous scholars at home and abroad from different disciplines visiting for study and exchange is increasing day by day，The development of the Institute of Chinese Culture has entered a golden period，Become a cultural business card of The Chinese University of Hong Kong。

1988，Director Chen and Professor Liu Dianjue planned the electronic database of documents handed down from Pre-Qin to Southern and Northern Dynasties，and published verbatim index，Has a great influence on the academic world。1993，Mr. Rao invited Mr. Li Xueqin to visit the institute，The main purpose of the speech is to talk about the newly discovered bamboo and silk documents unearthed in recent years，It is of great significance to re-evaluate the academic history of Pre-Qin Dynasty，This also triggered Director Chen’s thinking。1996，Director Chen regains his unfulfilled wish from 1983，Propose to me a work plan for establishing an app bet365 download electronic full-text database project。After 13 years，Finally driven by his active planning，After the "Han Bamboo Bamboo Script Electronic Database Project"，The "app bet365 download Full-text Electronic Database Project", still led by Mr. Rao, soon received funding from the Hong Kong Research Grants Council。

In seven years，We created an intelligent “Oracle Full Text Database”，Still welcomed by the academic community。In view of the various limitations of the Oracle database that was completed at that time，Early 2000，The "New Oracle-Bone glyph table" (i.e. the "Oracle-bone glyph table") co-edited by Professor Cao Jinyan and I、20 volumes of "Comprehensive Collection of Collations and Interpretations app bet365 download Inscriptions" have been published，Won the second prize of the National Outstanding Ancient Books Award in 2006 and the seventh place in the first prize of the Ministry of Education’s Higher Education Research Outstanding Achievement Award in 2009。

Didn’t expect it，I am keeping company with this book，"Once you fall into it" it will be ten years，Later became the most important part of app bet365 download life，Including app bet365 download joy、Angry、Sorrow、乐，It has also been integrated into app bet365 download spiritual life。Looking back，Time spent at CUHK，Every time I look at the mountains of old manuscripts stained with handwriting in the office，I seem to have walked closer to a mirror，Seeing app bet365 download past again，Re-recognize yourself。Sometimes I can’t believe it，Will ask myself，Where did the persistence and madness in app bet365 download heart come from？

　　五

September 2008，I ended app bet365 download 17-year career at the Institute of Chinese Culture at the Chinese University of Hong Kong，Invited by Mr. Li Xueqin，In early October of the same year, he came to work at the Unearthed Documents Research and Protection Center of Tsinghua University。Under the leadership of Mr. Li，Participated in Tsinghua University’s cleanup、Conjugation，To explanation、edit、Organization、The whole process of research。

Thinking of us facing Chu Slips，What kind of surprises and confusions have I had with Mr. Li，Let me experience the joy and satisfaction of making app bet365 download dreams come true。

The conjugation process of Tsinghua bamboo slips，The later it gets, the more difficult it becomes。Sometimes，Not much progress in a week，The depressed mood keeps weighing app bet365 download down，Until one day，The spliced ​​fragments are waiting for you to find them in a dimly lit place。How many days of accumulated anxiety and confusion，All disappeared in that moment，There is nothing better than the joy of harvest、Pleasure makes people enjoy it more？

That year，Every day I walk from Zhongguanyuan to the "mysterious" old house of Tsinghua Library to sort out Chu slips，The mood at that time was almost like a pilgrimage and awe，trembling with fear，It was Mr. Li who comforted me quietly and said: "Jianhua，Learn by doing！”I never expected that，It has been 13 years since I came to Tsinghua，It was Mr. Li who led me into the alluring realm of Chu bamboo slips，Despite app bet365 download stupidity, I falter，But it opened a new page in app bet365 download life。

　2009，Mr. Li assigned app bet365 download to write a brief explanatory essay for the first volume of "Sacrifice to the Duke: Taking Care of Life"。Scholars familiar with "Shangshu" all know，It is a compilation of ancient political documents。Not only found in the modern and ancient text "Shang Shu"，Also found in the "Book of Yi Zhou" records, which is said to be "Confucius deleted the Book"。There are quite a lot of bad sentences in this book，Long-term neglect。

　Thankfully，In Tsinghua Simplified Chinese，We have seen the chapters "Cheng Huan", "Imperial Gate", "Sacrifice to the Duke of Gu Ming" and "Ming Xun" in "Book of Yi Zhou"。Historical relics about worshiping public servants and seeking fathers，Many documents handed down from ancient times，The most detailed one is "Yi Zhou Shu·Sacrifice to the Duke"。Sacrifice to the public and seek father’s dying words to warn the three public servants，See "Ye (Ji) Gong Zhi Gu Ming" cited in the "Book of Rites·缁衣" handed down from ancient times，Also seen in Guodian Chu slips and Shangbo slips published in recent years。Complete reproduction of "Sacrifice to the Duke and Consideration of Life" on Chu Bamboo Slips of Tsinghua University，Basically corresponds to the handed down version of "Yi Zhou Shu·Ji Gong"。I can’t forget those first few months，When seeing that the content displayed on the Chu bamboo slips is consistent with the documents handed down from ancient times，The feeling of shock and excitement in app bet365 download heart，Indescribable。

To me，Standing by Mr. Rao’s side during the 17 years at the Chinese University of Hong Kong，That day is probably the most unforgettable in my life。If there is no opportunity to compile "app bet365 download Inspection"，Maybe I will have another fate。I was lucky enough to meet Director Chen Fangzheng who was a physicist，With rare courage、Confidence and vision，Constructing his vision of Chinese cultural research，And give me trust and tolerance from beginning to end。He not only provided me with opportunities to extend my academic life，It also helped me get to know myself。Actually，I don’t have any academic qualifications，Looking back on my 40 years in the world of ancient writing，Keep "gleaning"，God will pay off after all，Still gave me a lot of rewards and surprises。

To me，Excitement at work，Life is enough！I will always remember the family motto given to me by app bet365 download father - the famous saying of Italian painter Leonardo da Vinci: "A life is never wasted，You can die happily，As if a day has never passed，Can sleep peacefully。”
