A few days ago, the Chinese archaeological community sent out a piece of good news, the dinosaur footprint research team of China University of Geosciences announced that they found a batch of well-preserved dinosaur footprints in Sichuan Province last year, including a new dinosaur footprint fossil.
Experts deduce from the footprint fossils that this dinosaur should be a carnivorous dinosaur living in the Cretaceous Period, its soles are about 31 centimeters long, and the body length is about 4 meters, which may look like the following drops.
Interestingly, the fossilized new dinosaur footprints are named after Nobita Nobita, the protagonist of the Japanese cartoon Doraemon, called "Eubrontes nobitai".
This wave of operations really caught the majority of netizens by surprise, usually we always feel that archaeologists are serious and old-fashioned, did not expect that they would give the new dinosaur such a two-dimensional style name.
For the reason for this naming, Associate Professor Xing Lida of China University of Geosciences said that because the "Doraemon" series of big movies "Nobita's Dinosaur" (1980) and "Doraemon: Nobita's New Dinosaur" (2020) are excellent dinosaur-themed movies.
Nobita Nobita has been promoting and popularizing dinosaur knowledge to children for many years, which has made many young readers like dinosaurs.
And in the movie Doraemon: Nobita's New Dinosaur, Nobita once said, "If only I could name the dinosaur after me..."
So Associate Professor Xing Lida and the research team decided to give the "species name" of the new dinosaur to Nobita Nobita to help him realize this wish.
As soon as this news came out, it caused a great response in Japan, netizens were unanimously praised, and the Japanese media competed to report on the matter, and also interviewed Associate Professor Xing Lida, who named the new dinosaur footprint.
A Japanese host excitedly said on the show: "This is simply a dream into reality."
Japanese netizens are even happier for Nobita, excitedly referring to Associate Professor Xing as "Doraemon who helped Nobita realize his dreams".
In order to obtain more in-depth and informative first-hand information, Asahi TV China Director Chichii Mori also personally went to the site where the dinosaur footprints were found and interviewed local villagers who found the fossils.
In addition to the Japanese media, the official website of Doraemon also shared the news for the first time, and said that the replicas of the "Nobishi Shilei Dragon Footprints" will be in Kawasaki City Fujiko · Exhibited at the F. Fujio Museum and the National Museum of Nature and Science in Ueno, Tokyo.
For the use of "wild ratio" to name the new dinosaur footprints, domestic netizens generally agreed.
They commented that the name "Nobita Nobita" is a childhood memory of many people, and that the original author Fujiko F. Fujio loves dinosaurs very much, and the story of Doraemon has a lot of content about dinosaurs and dinosaur fossils, so it is still appropriate to name the new dinosaur footprints with "Nobi".
The reason why everyone approves of this naming method shows that on the one hand, we have sufficient national self-confidence and will not be entangled in a name; on the other hand, it also reflects that "Doraemon" is really a very good work.
2020 marks the 50th anniversary of Doraemon, and the aforementioned Doraemon: Nobita's New Dinosaur is a special commemorative work launched by the anime producers to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the manga.
Although the story of Doraemon and Nobita spans a long half century, the tone of protecting the environment, freedom and equality, opposing war, and loving life has always remained the same.
In particular, the author of "Doraemon", Fujiko F. Fujio is a very anti-war manga artist who has always reflected on the historical harm caused by the wars waged by Japan.
Also in the story "Elephant and Uncle", the author describes the cruelty of war through the tragic encounters of animals in the zoo, expressing his disgust for war, his desire for peace and his love of life.
In addition to the anti-war, environmental protection is also a major theme of the Doraemon series. In the two stories of "Goodbye Tree Boy" and "Nobita and the Kingdom of clouds", the author shows the evil acts of human beings to seize the earth's resources and wantonly destroy the environment without restraint, which arouses people's attention and thinking about environmental issues.
It is worth mentioning that Fujiko · Mr. Fujio F. is also a prophet. In April this year, when the Japanese government created a "mascot" to beautify the radioactive tritium in nuclear wastewater, some netizens took a screenshot of "Doraemon" in response.
It is precisely because of such positive content that the Doraemon series has been popular for 50 years and has been loved by readers from all over the world, including China. It is precisely because of this love that our scholars named the new dinosaur footprints "Wild Ratio".
As Associate Professor Xing Lida said in Weibo: "Dinosaurs have always been a bridge of friendship between the Chinese and Japanese peoples, and dinosaurs from the Sichuan Zigong Dinosaur Museum have been exhibited in Japan many times and have been greatly welcomed." There are also many Chinese dinosaurs in Doraemon: Nobita's New Dinosaur. ”
I hope that this new dinosaur named after "Nobita Nobita" can become a double link of friendship between the two countries, and I hope that the world can be as peaceful and tranquil as Nobita aspires to, full of life.
