The ancient book leaves in Shuo Wen Jie Zi in the Eastern Han Dynasty explained the year. Celebrating grain ripening is called China New Year. In modern Chinese, the original meaning of "nian" has long since disappeared, but it has been vividly and accurately interpreted in Shui Shu, Shui Li and Shui Festival customs.
Shuishu has experienced thousands of years of history from its birth to today. The development of Shuishu reflects the homology, differentiation, development, absorption and gradual integration of Shuishu and Central Plains culture, and the track from simple to complex, from easy to difficult, from simple to complex.
After investigation and study, experts and scholars believe that Shuijia is undoubtedly a descendant of Yin people, Shuishu is related to Oracle Bone Inscriptions by marriage, and Shuishu can be traced back to Zhixia.
Professor Cen is the originator of Shui calligraphy. After comparing Shui Shu and Oracle Bone Inscriptions's ideographic characters, he pointed out:
"1. Shuishu is a kind of witchcraft book. 2. Shuishu was made in a very old era. 3. The origin of Shuishu is in the northwest. Shuishu was introduced to Jiangxi from the north. 5. After Shuishu was first introduced to Shuijia in Jiangxi, Shuijia moved from Jiangxi to Guizhou, so I took it with me. 6. Shuishu is an oppressed nation.
Words used. It can also be asserted that Shui Shu had a certain marriage relationship with Oracle Bone Inscriptions, an ancient Yin man. "
After a comprehensive study of the ancient Shuijia characters and beliefs in China, the professor pointed out: "Today's Shuijia is a adherent of Yin." "Today's water experts have so many names of ghosts, and they respect wizards, so they have' anti-books' for spells, which can be the ironclad evidence left over from the culture of the Yin Dynasty."
Professor Shi Jizhong pointed out in his book Touching the Soul of Yelang: "There are indeed two kinds of characters in Yelang's hometown, one is a water book and the other is a foreigner." "In the history of the development of world characters, the Naxi Shuishu and Dongba script are called' sons of characters' ... Shuishu, as a living fossil of history, provides vivid materials for the origin of characters, from which we can learn about the ancient word-making methods and the blending process of Han nationality and water culture." This kind of hieroglyphics also has picture characters, which is of great research value.
Zhang, a famous contemporary scholar, pointed out in "On the Ancient Books of Ethnic Minorities in China": "Shui script of the Shui nationality is different from the above-mentioned vernacular. ..... There are still some hieroglyphs similar to Han Oracle Bone Inscriptions, so people speculate that they were created earlier. "
According to the legend of Shui nationality, Gong, the founder of Shui Shu, created and studied Shui Shu at the foot of "Swallow Cave, Bat Cave and Seven Cave". "Hidden language called shrine? Na3qa:m 1 ",literally translated as" before the cave ". The significance of these legends and linguistic genesis shows that the primitive belief culture of the Shui nationality originated from the rock cave era.
