The magic of the deciphering of the Halapha seal is that it suddenly evokes memories that have been sealed for thousands of years. The names of those ancient legends actually stand proudly on the seal of Harappa in a new script. These characters are written in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Chronicle of the Ancient Bamboo Book, the Book of Shang, the Records of History, and ancient Chinese texts, and the stories of these characters are widely circulated among the people. They are intimate and distant, vague and clear, and have not receded for thousands of years, as if they had always been with us.
After only deciphering 70 Harappan seals, there are 6 emperors recorded in the history of the Xia Dynasty. These emperors are arranged in chronological order, namely: Gaoxin Emperor Zhao, Emperor Zhi, Dan zhu, Yu Shun, Dayu, and Bo Zizhu, all of whom were emperors after the Yellow Emperor period. This period of history is surprisingly consistent with the carbon-14 identification results of the Harappan civilization site. In the face of the Halapan seal text, in the face of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and in the face of the records of ancient documents, we have no reason to reject the fact that the Xia Dynasty existed.
According to the "Ancient Bamboo Book Chronicle", after the Yellow Emperor came to the Xia Dynasty, the first Ji surnamed Xuanyuan Huangdi; the second Ji surnamed Qianhuang; the third Ren surname Shao Haozhi; the fourth Ren surnamed Haozhen; the fifth Ji surname Gaoxin Emperor Zhao; the sixth Ji surnamed Emperor Zhi; the seventh Yao surnamed Emperor Yao; and the eighth Yao surnamed Emperor Shun. Shun Chuanyu changed his surname to Xia Hou (夏後氏), and Yu Chuanqi established the Xia Dynasty. That is to say, there are 10 real emperors from the Yellow Emperor to Xia Qi. They were Xuanyuan, Qianhuang, Shaohaozhi, Zhao, Gaoxin, Dizhi, Diyao, Dishun, Diyu, and Xia Houqi. Together with the deposed deposed Emperor Danzhu and the other 15 emperors of the Xia Dynasty, there were 26 emperors in total. I only deciphered 70 seals and found 6 of the 26 emperors from the Yellow Emperor to the Xia Dynasty, and these 6 characters are all household names. They were: Emperor Gaoxin, Emperor Zhi, Dan zhu, Yu Shun, Dayu, and Bo Zizhu. Among them: the 70 seals do not exclude deciphering errors, or cut reading errors that fail to really decipher.
More than 2500 halapa seals have been unearthed. The proportion of the 70 seals I deciphered was 3%. The 6 imperial seals that were deciphered accounted for 9% of the 70 seals. This proportion is large. Why is the proportion of imperial seals deciphered larger than that of other knighthoods? I think there are two things that contribute: one is that the imperial seal is better preserved than ordinary seals; the other is that the deeds of the emperor are clearly recorded in historical documents and can be used as a support for deciphering. Below I will explain to the reader the two Emperor Yu Shun Seals that have been deciphered, so that the readers will completely believe that my deciphering the text of the Halapa Seal is not nonsense.
Looking at the above two pictures, compared with the Halapa "Seal Text Single Word Deciphering Table" compiled by me, checked: Figure 0007 Seal Text Table Pronunciation: Emperor. Fish water seal. Seal Text Cut Transliteration: Emperor. Yu Shunyin.
According to the Halapa "Seal Text Single Word Decipherment Table" compiled by me, check: Figure 0071 Seal Text Table Pronunciation: Yu Shui. Fish water. Seal text cut transliteration: Yu Shun. Yu Shun.
Here I explain the words "fish and" and "water":
1, fish: seal image code 0007, 0071, seal character code 0024.
Fish: Seal script, water book, oracle bone, gold script are all hieroglyphs, like fish shapes.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas. The Overseas North Classics say: "Han Shui out of [Yu Fu] Fish Mountain." Emperor Huan was buried in Yang, Nine Concubines were buried in Yin, and The Four Snakes were guarded." The "[fish pay] fish" in the text has a variety of ways to write in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, such as Fuyu, Wuyu, Buyeo, etc. This shows that fish, yu, yu, and yu all read fish.
The Xia History of the Ancient Bamboo Book Chronicle records: "Emperor Zhu. In the first year of his reign, the emperor took the throne and lived in the original. 杼 or Emperor Yu, a Bo Zhu. 杼, can handsome Yu also, so the Xia Hou clan retribution." This also shows that "杼, 宇, 禹" homophony. And Yu and Yu are homographs in the oracle bones. This means that "fish, yu, yu, yu, yu, yu, yu, yu" all read fish sounds.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas. The Great Wilderness West Classic: "Someone has a back arm, and his name is Tianyu." The Classic of Mountains and Seas. Overseas East Classic: "The Valley of the Rising Sun, the god Tianwu, is for the water bo". So, are the "Tianyu" and "Tianwu" in this same official position? Are "虞" and "Wu" the same word? During the time of Emperor Shun, he made Boyi an official of Yu, in charge of the affairs of grass, trees, birds and beasts. At the same time, Di Shun was born in the Youyu clan. Before the Pre-Qin Dynasty, Wu and Yu were generally used. "Yu Zhong" who was a duke for five years in the "Left Biography" was quoted as "Wu Zhong" by the "Wu Yue Chunqiu". It can be seen that ancient Wu and Yu are one word.
Please look at the seal character code 0066 "Wu" character in the golden script, the lower left corner has a fish shape, according to the ancient Chinese character spelling habits, this fish shape is the voice part, so "Yu" is pronounced as a fish. Wu and Yu are one word, and "Wu" also reads fish.
To sum up: the ancient fish, Yu, Yu, Yu, Yu, Yu, Yu, Yu, Yu, Wu are all pronounced as fish.
Then we can think in reverse: the modern Chinese characters of fish, yu, yu, yu, yu, yu, yu, and wu can all be replaced by the word "fish" in the seal text. Read: Fish.
2. Water: seal code 0007, 0071, seal character code 0037.
Water: Seal text, water book, oracle bone, gold text are all hieroglyphs, shaped like flowing water.
The ancient "water" character "shun" sound. "Explanation": "Water, Junya." ”。 It can be seen that the ancient "water" and "quasi" are used together. The "level" is pronounced as: Shun or Shun. The rhyme of water (shuǐ) ui, ancient reading un. For example, "Poetry Zhou Song Wei Tian's Destiny": "Junhui I Wen Wang, great-grandson Duzhi". The "hui (huì)" here is trained as "shun (shùn)", rhyme mother ui, read un.
The record of The Emperor Shun in the Annals of the Ancient Bamboo Book is very detailed. "The Emperor Shun has the Yu clan. The mother holds the deng, sees the sense of the big rainbow, and gives birth to Shun in Yao Xu. Eyes heavy pupils, hence the name Chonghua. The dragon's face was large, black, and it was six feet and one inch long. Shun's parents hated Shun, causing him to smear himself, and Shun's bird clothes flew away. And he made the well fill it with stones from above, and the dragon suit of Shun came out of the bow. Cultivating in the calendar, dreaming of eyebrow length and hair, etc., so ascend to yong. In the first year, the emperor is on the throne, and juji is in The future."
In the Classic of Mountains and Seas. There are also many records of Yu Shun.) Such as the Classic of Mountains and Seas. The Great Desolation of the South Classic: "There is a kingdom of the people." Emperor Shunsheng is not adulterous, and where he descends, he is called a witch. The people of Wu Are looking forward to their surnames, eating grain, not performing and not serving, not harvesting and not eating. There are birds of song and dance, birds of prey singing, birds of prey dance, and hundreds of beasts. A hundred valleys gathered". The sitting posture of Yu Shun on these two seals is consistent with the sitting posture of Figures 0003 and 0004 Dayu in the table of halapa seal decipherment results I compiled. It can be seen that anyone who adopts this kind of sitting posture on the harappa seal must be an ancient emperor.
Figure 0071 This seal of Yu Shun is particularly precious because it has a similar bilingual text on it, that is, there are two different fonts with the word "Yu Shun", the top is a composite character, the middle is a "Yu" character or "Wu" character, surrounded by four water droplets, pronounced: Yu Shui, cut read as: Yu Shun. Under the seal is a "fish" character and a "water" character, pronounced: fish water, cut read as: Yu Shun. Although the fonts are different, the cut-out results are consistent. In particular, the above form of zygotext is very common in oracle bones, which can also be used as direct evidence of the transformation of the Halapan seal script to the oracle bone.
