The New Year keywords presented by Oracle were spread on social platforms, 60 micro-novels created for Oracle were assembled and launched, and the online article section updated by Oracle was used to receive hot reviews... On January 5th, the National Library of China and the Reading Group jointly held the theme conference of "Oracle Promotion Public Welfare Project", and the two sides will jointly promote the dissemination and popularization of traditional Chinese culture represented by Oracle.
As the earliest mature script discovered in China so far, the oracle bone script is the source of Chinese characters and the root of China's excellent traditional culture. As a literary and artistic form in the new era, online literature has attracted many readers around the world with its magnificent imagination, wonderful stories and strong sense of substitution.
"Traditional culture is the root of the imagination of online literature, and online writing also gives back to tradition with fresh vitality." Xu Miaomiao, a professor at the Aesthetic Education Research Center of Capital Normal University, believes that "as the most advanced writing medium in the Shang Dynasty, tortoise shells and animal bones faithfully inherit history; and as the most powerful media today, the Internet effectively serves the public." The two are a microcosm of each other's time. ”
As one of the important contents of the "Oracle Promotion Public Welfare Project", "Awakening the Ancient Characters of Oracle" has been launched on January 1 on the two major clients of Reading Group, Starting Point Reading and QQ Reading. The 60 micro-stories are excerpted from the excellent works of the theme essay campaign of "Everything is tangible, oracle bones can speak", and each micro-story is about 500 words.
The essay campaign attracted more than 2,200 participants, about 70% of whom were post-90s and post-00s creators. Among the 2571 essay works, there are both science fiction themes about the frontier future and mythological stories from ancient China, both the historical feelings of the home country and the world, and the realistic themes that reflect the present.
Born in 1992, the writer "Dansheng" created by the writer "Dansheng" takes the oracle bone "Dan" as the core, and uses the myth and legend of "Houyi Shooting Sun" to tell the story of the first rise of the sun. The post-95 reading writer "Seeing the Sword of Different Thoughts" works "Family Mirror" starts from the oracle bone "Ruo" and depicts the ancestral and grandchildren of modern society. "The Chinese New Year's Eve Night of the Outpost" created by the reading writer "Shui Qingzhu" draws inspiration from the oracle bone "Ji" and depicts the selfless love of border guards to protect the territory. The writer "The Beginning of home" of the writer "Xiao and 2" is inspired by the oracle bone "home" and combines the content of the "four square wind" oracle bone, so that the wind and wind gods in the four directions of the east, west, south and north are reproduced in the network text. "Xiao and 2" said that the combination of oracle bones and online novels is a collision and exchange between ancient characters and modern literature, "promoting the excellent traditional culture represented by oracle bones is a topic that experts, scholars, literary creators and ordinary people should pay attention to at present." ”
"Telling the Chinese stories of each era well is the spiritual coordinate of online literature in cultural inheritance." Yang Chen, vice president and editor-in-chief of Yuwen Group, expressed the hope that with cultural innovation in the digital age, more excellent traditional culture can enter the context of contemporary young people with new faces.
At the same time, the "Oracle + NetWen Trans-Millennium Exhibition" is being exhibited in the Guotu Jinwan Cultural and Creative Space. At the scene, countless characters of different eras converged and blended, forming a unique art installation of "Reading and Writing", with oracle bones, gold scripts, small seals, lishu, calligraphy, simplified characters, and the context of text flow is clearly visible. When viewing the exhibition, the audience can not only feel the beauty of oracle bone glyphs up close, but also scan the code to read the micro-stories created by online writers for it.
Zhao Aixue, head of the Jinshi Group and deputy research librarian of the National Library of Ancient Books, believes that the collision between ancient characters and online literature more than 3,000 years later is gratifying, "I hope that the ancient characters containing the wisdom of the ancestors can reach the public in a vivid and interesting way." The Internet has provided various possibilities for the spread of oracle bone culture, and online literature is one of them. ”
In the future, the National Library of China will deepen strategic cooperation with reading group, form a synergy in the promotion of original literature, the preservation and protection of resources, the application of new technologies, the innovation of reading services, and the development of cultural creativity, continue to explore the innovative expression of traditional culture, and promote the creative transformation and innovative development of traditional culture.
