The most important basis for judging whether a race has formed a civilization is whether there is a birth of writing. 65 million years ago, although dinosaurs were the overlords of the earth, they had no words, so they did not care about civilization, which shows how important words are to civilization.
As we all know, in the basic cognition of the Chinese, always think that the oracle bone is the oldest script in China, in fact, this idea is wrong, the oracle bone is the first mature script in ancient China, by no means the oldest text, if you really want to trace the roots, the oldest chinese script should be the JiaHu inscription, so far there are 8,000 years of history, it looks a lot like the immature oracle bone, which is hooked and folded and other writing characteristics are secretly consistent with the oracle bone, so some scholars believe that the JiaHu inscription is the predecessor of the oracle bone.
But we know that writing has a long evolutionary process, oracle bones first appeared 4,000 years ago, the difference between the two is 4,000 years, in these four thousand years, what other words have not been excavated? With the deepening of archaeological excavations, many cultural relics have entered people's eyes, and the archaeological community has suddenly had a major development - Yiwen! This is a script that was formed 10,000 years ago, and its history is almost similar to the Jiahu inscription, and its appearance represents that China already had a relatively mature writing system long before the oracle bone.
The Yi people have a long history, its script is called Yi, as early as the Warring States period, the Yi people have formed a relatively stable way of life, so the Yi people have formed a script. The Yi script looks tortuous and bizarre, like hieroglyphs and like chevalry scripts, so some scholars boldly put forward a view: the Yi script may be the origin of Western scripts. As soon as this theory came out, many researchers suddenly became interested, they carefully studied the Yi script, and after the deliberation of most people, they gradually unveiled the mystery of the Yi script.
Originally, the Yi script creation method and Chinese characters, are through pictograms, huiyi and other ways, but the Yi script matured 10,000 years ago, the age is difficult to understand, some of the meaning of the glyph can be known through speculation, some are unknown.
At present, the collection of Yi stone carvings, documents, books and other materials in the country is still very small, only 120,000 volumes, and it is difficult to systematically understand the whole picture of the Yi script. However, the content of the record is very complex, involving military, sacrifice, medicine, etiquette, people's livelihood and other aspects of social life. And the specific content is very different from the traditional Chinese culture, so as to put an end to the speculation that the Yi culture is a branch of Chinese culture, the History of the Yi must have a very glorious process, otherwise there would not be so many dazzling records in the book.
What is even more surprising is that the process of turning apes into humans is recorded in detail in the Yi script, which is not recorded in all civilization literature. I think it may be because the Yi script was formed too early, and they witnessed the process of apes becoming humans, so they recorded it.
After that, the ancient Yi script continued to develop. In ancient trade, the Yi civilization south of the Kunlun Mountains expanded eastward, giving birth to oracle bone, Mayan script, and spread westward to West Asia and Europe before the Sumerian script appeared. Otherwise, why are the Sumerian script and the oracle bone so similar, which leads many Western scholars to believe that the Sumerian script was transmitted to the east and produced the oracle bone.
However, when the study of the Yi script was deepened, this statement was self-defeating, and Professor Liu Zhiyi of Zhuzhou Institute of Technology in Hunan Province once said: "The ancient Yi script has a long history of more than 9,000 years, and if you add its initial period, it may be more than 10,000 years." "But the Sumerian script is only 7500 years old, the oracle bone is 3000 years old, the JiaHu inscription is 8000 years, the time is not right, in the early process of all the writings, the ancient Yi script is the big brother of this family, and its birth promotes the creation of civilizations everywhere."
Time is a big example, not to mention the great similarity between the Yi script and the local script. The original form of the Western alphabet is derived from the Sumerian script, focusing on lines and movements, and is a conventional abstract cultural symbol.
In the Yi script, it is also easy to find similar writing to the Western alphabet, the Rock Inscription of Italy four thousand years ago, the Linear Script of Greece three thousand years ago, and the Sanskrit script of India four thousand years ago, all of which can find the shadow of the ancient Yi script. As for the land of China, many cultural relics unearthed in recent years, such as the Pengtou Mountain inscription in Hunan, the Dadiwan inscription in Gansu, and the bronze inscription in Sanxingdui, can be explained by combining the text on the Yi ethnic group. One has to wonder that the Yi script is the source of all writing.
In summary, it is highly likely that Western scripts are derived from ancient Yi scripts. And we know that writing is the basis for the emergence of a civilization, and the ancient Yi recorded how brilliant their civilization was in ancient times, so it is not possible to guess that Western civilization envied the Yi civilization at that time, and sent "overseas students" to study in the Yi people, and then returned to their own civilization field and combined with the ancient Yi script to create their own script.
