Perception of rewards
——Briefly describing the "pictogram" is the origin of Chinese wisdom
In the article "Perceiving the New Civilization (Part II)" and "Chinese Wisdom Will Unify the World", the author of perception theory, Wang Jianping has the following paragraph:
"On the road of human development, only Chinese-style practical philosophical thinking has not been widely adopted. What is the purpose of practicality? It is to obtain the overall result of human existence, and the terminal of the presentation of this overall result is human perception, and human perception is the final result after the process, which is the terminal of all theoretical and behavioral processes. ”
He concluded: "The core theory of Chinese wisdom is perceptual thought, and only Chinese state of life can produce this kind of thought, only the Chinese mode of thinking can produce this kind of thought, only the cultural experience of Chinese can produce this kind of thought." ”
He concluded: "Therefore, it will be true that Chinese wisdom will save the world and unify the world." "Really? Now let's feel the echoes of ancient times.
"Ancient Times of China", edited by archaeologist Su Bingqi: "China's ancient history involves two major theoretical issues, one is from apes to humans, and the other is from clans to countries. Although both are worldwide issues, they are closely related to China's ancient history. ”
The reader is incapable of following the archaeologist's thinking to explore the source of perception from ape to man. I just want to follow Wang Jianping's original logical thinking that "Chinese characters are the original source of Chinese wisdom, and 'pictograms' are the origin of Chinese wisdom", and as close as possible to Ancient Chinese Times. It is only with the help of experts knocking on the door of China's ancient times, listening to the sounds transmitted from ancient times, and perceiving China's ancient times.
First, the geographical environment of ancient times
"China is located in the east of eurasia, with the Palmi Plateau, the roof of the world, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Himalayas in the southwest, the Altai Mountains in the northwest, the Mongolian Gobi Desert on the back, the Xing'an Mountains and the Changbai Mountains in the northeast, and the oceans in the east and south, forming a relatively independent geographical unit." "It is more difficult for prehistoric humans to survive and develop, and it is more difficult to communicate with the outside world; the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in the east-central region have a suitable climate and fertile soil, which is the most developed area of prehistoric culture in China."
"This situation determines the indigenous origin of China's prehistoric culture and its unique position among the world's prehistoric cultures, and determines that it has taken the road of independent development on a long period of time." ——Su Bingqi, "Ancient Times of China"
2. Ancient Chinese Culture
1. China's Paleolithic culture can be roughly divided into three phases, early, middle and late, which correspond to Homo erectus, early Homo sapiens and late Homo sapiens, but the specific path of development varies from place to place.
2. China's Neolithic culture, along the characteristics of Paleolithic culture, is self-contained, richer in content and more complex in genealogy. How the territory of China developed from clans to states, "Ancient Times of China" has the following voices:
1). Chinese invented agriculture by his own ancestors, and japonica rice originated in China. Agriculture has generally experienced three periods: Magnetic Mountain Culture, Yangshao Culture and Longshan Culture;
2). The development of productive forces: new areas of labor force have emerged, expanding the scope of labor or occupation; updating technology, improving efficiency, and developing production in depth.
3). Pottery has always been an important handicraft industry in the Neolithic era. At the latest in the early three thousand years of the third millennium AD, China has mastered the technology of smelting and casting copper, and by the Longshan period, coppermaking technology has been further developed and popularized.
4). Religions that have already occurred, by the 3000s or 4000 B.C., have developed to a certain scale.
5). About before the Common Era, the various places entered the Yongsan era, and at this time the handicraft industry developed significantly. One is the invention of bronze, metallurgy appeared for the first time on the land of Shenzhou, the second is the invention of fast wheel pottery technology, the third is the emergence of silkworm reeling and silk fabrics, and the fourth is the great development of jade craftsmanship. There are also advances in the lacquerware industry and the construction industry.
6). With the advent of general commercial exchange, armed plunder, the machine of war developed further.
3. Ancient Chinese writings
Archaeologists examined the formation of the central settlement from the changes in the cemetery group and burial customs, and found ornaments, handicrafts, and pictures from the cultural relics of the burial sacrifices.
From the pictorial characters of the Dawenkou culture (Lingyang River in Ming County, Shandong), twelve instruments and fourteen characters were found, four instruments and four characters in Dazhu Village in Ming County, and one instrument and one character in the former village of Zhucheng. In total, there are sixteen instruments (or fragments) of eighteen characters. Most experts believe that this is a primitive script, primitive hieroglyphs, pictorials or hieroglyphs.
Liu Dabai believes that the earliest writing should have two sources, one is a picture, the other is a mark, and the latter is earlier. The words created from these two sources are hieroglyphs and indicators. Su Bingqi believes: "China's use of carved symbols to record the early Banpo type of Yangshao culture, before it the old Guantai culture also has a color mark, dating back to about 5,000 years BC. Pictorial texts were first seen in the late Dawenkou culture, dating from about 3000 BC. It is true that the marks were produced earlier, and by the Time of Longshan, the two methods of recording had been developed for a long or short period, although both could still be regarded as real writing, but the time for the formation of the real script was not too far away. Su Bingqi believes: "In this way, the Longshan era is already on the eve of the production of real writing." ”
Well, the mind can stop here for a while. Is this the origin of the "pictographic" source that Wang Jianping wants? It doesn't seem to be all. The traceability of human "perception" seems to be able to continue. Xia Nai said: "Chinese archaeologists are now working hard to explore the origins of Chinese civilization. The main objects of exploration are the origin and development of various elements of civilization at the end of the Neolithic period or the era of copper and stone, such as bronze smelting technology, the invention and improvement of writing, the origin of cities and countries, and so on. ”
According to the information disclosed online, readers searched for relevant materials on the archaeological excavation of Jia Lake site in Wuyang County, Henan Province. Jiahu Ruins, an important site in the early Neolithic period of China, c14, the results of the emission dating show that it is 9000-7500 years old. Among them, jiahu bone flute and jiahu qike particularly attract readers' interest. Jao Zongyi of the University of Chinese in Hong Kong once conducted an in-depth discussion and examination of the Jia Hu inscription, and proposed that the "Jia Hu Carving" provides a new material on the key issues of the origin of Chinese characters.
4. The language of ancient China
Baidu: The origin of human language has always been a major topic in the history of linguistics, anthropology and even philosophy, and it is also an unsolved mystery long-term exploration by the theoretical community.
Online introduction to the origin of ancient Chinese language: oral action theory, sound theory, labor theory, innate theory.
The only sporadic descriptions that can be found are that the original language of human beings, like animals, was a simple call.
Fifth, Wang Jianping restored the original logical speculation
After listing the general materials of China's geographical environment, culture, writing, and language in ancient times, and following the original thinking of the reduction of the "pictograms" before Wang Jianping's hieroglyphs, it can also be regarded as the source of Chinese wisdom, and the questions that follow are:
1. What consciousness did the ancestors of ancient China rely on to dominate their lives without language and writing?
2. Language before words, what force pushed the ancients to produce language, and then to produce words?
3. Is the "pictogram" before the hieroglyph thinking, consciousness, or thought?
Restore to the original, and then start from the original, go back all the way, and appreciate the different scenery of the wisdom of the source of Chinese culture, which is exactly: ask the canal to be as clear as promised, for the source of living water.
A netizen posted: "Therefore, in addition to the interpretation of Chinese characters, there is no need to 'borrow' any other pseudo-ideological culture, which not only does not help to understand the original text, but also becomes the biggest obstacle to understanding Lao Tzu's thought..."
Let's start with hieroglyphs.
Lao Tzu said: "The Tao is Dao, the extraordinary Tao; the name can be named, the name is not famous." ”
Baidu Encyclopedia:
Dao, a first-class chinese character. The original righteous path, extending the meaning: dredging, and then extending the righteousness as the guide.
Yes, Kanji first-class characters. The original meaning of the word is a verb, and in ancient times, men and women courted in the form of blowing and singing. By extension, it means an adjective: comfortable, fit; verb: appreciate, accept, allow, agree, etc.
Non, literal interpretation: violation.
Often, the text is deciphered: the dress worn underneath. The lower mantle also. Interpretation of the name. Top coat. Under the clothes, obstacles also. With self-obstruction also. By extension, the word often.
Name, spoken word: pretentious also. From the mouth from the sunset, from the sunset, to the meditator. They don't see each other, so they use their mouths to say their names to others.
Trial translation: the road is suitable for guidance, violation. If the obstacle is blocked, it cannot be guided. Fate is suitable for guidance, self-obstruction, you can not see yourself.
Vernacular trial translation: The Tao can be said to have been violated. If it is obscured, it cannot be said. Fate can be said to be blind to oneself, and one cannot see oneself.
Let me ask you: Is it not possible to understand it in this way?
Let's talk about "pictograms". Some readers of "Theory of Perception", although they cannot fully understand, can realize the kind of thinking driving force before the "pictogram" traced by Wang Jianping, that is, the first driving force of perception.
Wang Jianping interprets the Tao:
Q: What are the perceptual rules?
Answer: The rules of perception are what Lao Tzu said.
Q: Is it Dao?
Answer: The Tao can be the Tao, the truth is the Tao, it cannot be the Tao, the Extraordinary Tao, and it cannot be the Tao.
Read every inch of China's land with the feeling of perception, because every inch of land contains the way of being a man; use the perceptual state of mind to read every Chinese character, because every word contains the principle of being a man. The traceability of China's "pictograms" is the overall thinking of Chinese wisdom and philosophy: people, inwardly observing their own hearts, and looking out of the world - it is the unity of heaven and man! Positive solution.
