The Palace Museum is the third largest bet365 offers collection in the world,Contains more than 22,000 oracle bones from the Yin Ruins,Most of them have never been compiled and published,Known as “the last treasure of bet365 offers literature”,Received widespread attention from the academic community。This batch of precious oracle bones has never been compiled and published,There are two main reasons: the first is that the Forbidden City has been positioned as an art museum for a long time after 1949,Only the permanent "Art Museum of the Past" exhibition,Collections of ancient texts have not received enough attention。The second is the master of ancient writing in the Forbidden City,Ru Ma Heng、Tang Lan、Mr. Luo Fuyi and others,Died long ago,There is a serious shortage of talents in ancient writing,No one can undertake the work of compiling and publishing the oracle bones of the Forbidden City。

The Palace Museum belongs to the cultural museum system,There has been a lack of channels to introduce senior talents。To solve this problem,August 2013,The Forbidden City establishes a postdoctoral research station,Hope to use the remaining heat of old experts,Cultivate senior talents suitable for the academic development of the Forbidden City。Use this as background,October of the same year,Forbidden City establishes research institute,Institute of Ancient Documents,bet365 offers sorting has just been put on the agenda。December of the same year,General Secretary Xi Jinping clearly stated in his speech at the 12th collective study session of the Political Bureau of the 18th CPC Central Committee that the cultural relics collected in the Forbidden Palace should be "livened"。The Forbidden City feels that time is running out,Must act immediately。November 2014,Led by the Institute of Ancient Documents,The application for the National Social Science Fund’s major bidding project “Compilation and Research of the Yin Ruins bet365 offers Inscriptions in the Palace Museum” was successfully approved。At the same time,The Forbidden City Postdoctoral Research Station begins recruiting postdoctoral fellows in bet365 offers science。Afterwards,The compilation and publication of the Forbidden City’s oracle bones has finally begun in full swing under the leadership of the Institute of Ancient Documents。

The Forbidden City is the largest museum in China,This is the first time to compile and publish such a large number of oracle bones,Feeling deeply responsible,Don’t dare to take it lightly。In order to ensure the quality of the collection and publication of the Forbidden City Oracle Bones,Invite domestic bet365 offers science、Archaeology、Famous paleontologists held two demonstration meetings,We also specially formulated a "three compliances" principle。

bet365 offers

  (1) In line with the characteristics of bet365 offers relics preservation.The Forbidden City is a cultural relics preservation unit,The safety of cultural relics is a top priority。Modern bet365 offers Compilation and Publishing,Original picture、Rubbing、Copies have their own functions,Indispensable。Oracle bones are organic matter from more than 3,000 years ago,Easily cracked when moving,The hammer is fragile。This way,Extract bet365 offers information,You need to think carefully,Try to get it right in one go。In addition,The preservation of cultural relics attaches great importance to the original state (the most distinctive exhibition in the Forbidden City is the original display),The compilation of unearthed documents also requires respect for the original state。Thus the oracle bones of the Forbidden City,Organized by collector。For example, the old collection of oracle bones donated by Ma Heng,Xie Boshu’s old oracle bones purchased by the Forbidden City,They are all in one volume。Especially the second batch of old oracle bones collected by Ming Yishi, the first person in the West to study oracle bones,Originally classified or organized by myself,Divided into ten boxes according to ten days of stems,Divide the boxes into drawers according to the numbers,Reflects Ming Yishi’s own research thoughts,Deserves more respect,So the volumes are specially divided into boxes。Within each volume,Sort by group type (font) and event type。It reflects the characteristics of the museum,It also complies with the standards of bet365 offers science。

  (2) Comply with documentation bet365 offers.Whether it is a handed down document,Still unearthed documents,Needless to say,The organization should be standardized。The documents handed down from ancient times are better,There is the "Ancient Books Collection Standards Manual" compiled by the National Ancient Books Collection and Publishing Planning Leading Group,As well as various normative works written by individuals such as Yimin's "Explanations on the Collection and Explanation of Ancient Books"。The unearthed documents vary greatly due to their carriers,There has been no written standard for organization。Nevertheless,As far as Oracle is concerned,At least three points should be standardized: First, naming。The museum’s collection originally required naming。bet365 offers inscriptions have been included in the "National List of Rare Ancient Books",More selected in the "Memory of the World Register",Ancient books and directories also require naming。The second is the solution。Specify the original and reverse text of this version of the bet365 offers and whether there are boundaries and lines, etc.,Let readers understand the situation of this edition of oracle bones without looking at the illustrations and explanations。Third, the explanation shows the original state。Oracle bones are mostly fragments,Explanation should show the remaining location of the text,Information retained for research。These three standards,Ensuring the high quality of the bet365 offers collection in the Forbidden City。

  (3) In line with the trend of academic bet365 offers.bet365 offers records of the past,To reduce costs,Convenient arrangement,Mostly the original picture、Rubbing、Copy、Explanation、Annotations and related information and various indexes are compiled and printed separately。If divided into three volumes,Usually make one volume of original drawings,Full color printing;Rubbing、One copy of this work,Explanation、One volume of notes, related information and various indexes,Print in black and white。Reader reads an bet365 offers,You need to spread out three large octavo hardcover books at the same time,Thick and heavy,Another area,Very hard and inconvenient。Printing technology is changing with each passing day,The cost of color printing has also been greatly reduced compared with the past,It is completely possible to keep pace with the times,Organize bet365 offers description books that are more in line with the development of science and technology。bet365 offers records of the Forbidden City,Change the original picture、Rubbing、Copy、Explanation、Brief explanation and related information on the same page,Picture above and below,Full color printing。Reader reads an bet365 offers,Just open a book。This is for readers to read,It undoubtedly provides great convenience,I believe it will be welcomed by readers,It will also lead the trend of academic development。

The landmark achievement of the Palace Museum bet365 offers Inscriptions "The Yin Ruins bet365 offers Inscriptions Collection in the Palace Museum" is planned to be compiled and published in sixty volumes,After several years of hard work by all colleagues in the project team,Three volumes of his "Ma Heng Volume" and three volumes of "Xie Bo Shu Volume",Will be officially published by Zhonghua Book Company within the year。Of course,This is only the first phase of the Forbidden City bet365 offers Project,It is still far from the requirements of General Secretary Xi Jinping,We must continue to work hard in the future,Strive to complete the compilation and publication of all sixty volumes of books as soon as possible。In addition,General Secretary Xi Jinping has also emphasized many times: “There are still some subjects related to cultural inheritance,Such as the study of ancient characters such as bet365 offers inscriptions, etc.,Pay attention to these subjects,Make sure someone does it、With inheritance。”This is extremely important!It’s not enough for the Forbidden City bet365 offers Project to just have someone do it,We must also ensure that "there is inheritance"。And in this regard,The Forbidden City bet365 offers project really has a long way to go!

The so-called “inheritance” means establishing a sound academic echelon,Guarantee that there are more than just people studying the "unique knowledge" of oracle bones,What’s more important is that someone takes over。December 28, 2020,Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee、Ministry of Education、State Language Commission、Ministry of Culture and Tourism、Ministry of Science and Technology、State Administration of Cultural Heritage、Chinese Academy of Social Sciences、Henan Provincial People’s Government and eight other departments held an inter-ministerial joint meeting,Officially announced the launch of the "Inheritance and Development Project of Ancient Characters and Chinese Civilization" (hereinafter referred to as the "Ancient Characters Project")。Key points of the project,It lies in the four words "inheritance and development",And only "inheritance",In order to "develop",The word "inheritance" is even more important。Currently, more than ten units are participating in the research work of the "Ancient Characters Project",Most of them are colleges and universities,The Forbidden City is one of the participating units,The situation was originally unfavorable。Because colleges and universities can select outstanding students from undergraduates for training,The Forbidden City is not part of the education system,Not only cannot recruit undergraduate students,Master Even、Doctoral students cannot be recruited either。The only way to "recruit talents" is to recruit postdoctoral fellows majoring in bet365 offers science for training at the Forbidden City Postdoctoral Research Station,Then stay in the hospital。

Institute of Ancient Documents of the Forbidden City from 2014 to present,Recruited and trained three postdoctoral fellows in bet365 offers science,Only the first one stayed in the hospital smoothly,The second person stayed in the hospital for a year,The third person changed his career and found another way out because he could not stay in the hospital。The reason is from 2018,Until now,The Forbidden City has no social recruitment quota。This matter has at least three adverse effects: (1) From the perspective of the country and the Forbidden City,It is not easy to cultivate an bet365 offers scholar,cultivated,Learning is useless,A waste of talent;(2) From a postdoctoral point of view,The bet365 offers science major that has been studied diligently for more than ten years,Just when results are first achieved,But he had to change his career to do other jobs that he needed to learn from scratch,Professional waste;(3) From the perspective of the Forbidden City bet365 offers Project,The finishing team that has been formed,Sudden collapse again,Seriously slowing down the publishing progress of bet365 offers Books。

According to the latest statistics,Late 19th to early 21st century,Over 160,000 oracle bones unearthed from Yin Ruins in Anyang,Mainly collected in cultural and museum institutions in many countries around the world,The largest number of cultural and museum institutions in China。The reason why bet365 offers science is called "unique science",It’s because there is a serious shortage of talent,No one “inherits”,And this situation,China’s cultural and museum institutions are particularly serious。Doing projects and doing business,Same nature,The same reason,If you want to succeed,Time、Convenient location、人人,Indispensable!Tianshi mainly refers to the importance of the country,The country will increase investment if it pays attention to it,Increase investment and funds will naturally be sufficient。Convenient location mainly refers to rich resources,Specifically,Refers to the resources and projects owned by the unit,Possession Material。Renhe mainly refers to complete talents,Have a sound academic team,Inexhaustible,Inexhaustible。Currently the cultural and museum institution collecting oracle bones in China,Time、The location is no problem,All that is missing is harmony,Therefore very few can compile and publish bet365 offers records by themselves。For this,I appeal: This is a serious matter,Related to the inheritance of "unique knowledge",Even cultural construction,I hope relevant units will consider the practical difficulties of the cultural and museum system, especially the Palace Museum,Open a green channel for talent introduction,So,To the country,To the cultural and museum system,Especially for the Palace Museum,All of them have contributed greatly!
