Chinese Name: Ancient Yi Language Age: Neolithic Age to Iron Age: Astronomy, Geography, Politics, etc. Definition: It is a brief introduction to the ideographic characters that are still popular among Yi people, as well as the use areas. The ancient Yi language discovered at present is from 8000 years ago to 1000 years ago. The research of experts shows that the ancient Yi language can be juxtaposed with China Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Sumerian, Egyptian, Mayan and Hara-like languages, and it is one of the six ancient Chinese characters in the world, which can represent an important origin of world characters. However, due to various reasons, there are fewer and fewer old Yi people who can recognize Yi language in Guizhou, and the old Yi people who know ancient Yi language can't translate ancient Yi language classics because they don't know Chinese, so the research team of ancient Yi language is seriously lacking. Relevant experts call on the state and relevant provinces and cities to increase investment, strengthen the construction of the research team of ancient Yi language, and rescue the ancient Yi language as a national cultural treasure as soon as possible. Bijie is one of the dialect areas where the ancient Yi language declares the world memory heritage. Bijie has made great achievements in protecting and inheriting the literary heritage of the Yi people, with many highlights, mainly in the following ten aspects: First, the rescue protection and arrangement of ancient Yi literature in Guizhou is not only large in number, but also very distinctive. The Yi population in Guizhou accounts for about one-tenth of the national Yi population, and there are 16 collection units, which collect more than 8,000 ancient books of Yi language, accounting for more than half of the total collection of Yi language documents in China15,000. Highlight 2: Cong Ke, Southwest China, Cosmic Man's Literary Theory, Yi Yuan Liu, A Brief History of East and West, and Stone Inscriptions, etc. The Yi Ancient Books collected and translated in Bijie area are the treasures in the treasure house of Yi ancient books which are quite influential at home and abroad, including three generations of Yi ancient books translators written by Tan. Highlight 3: The epigraphy of Yi language discovered in Bijie is of early age, high value and large quantity; Highlight 4: The bronze carving Yelang Ren Jun seal collected by Shi Li in Weining, Guizhou Province is an extremely important document or French seal of Bimo. Bimo doesn't like official seals, hence the name "Seal of God"; Highlight 5: The stone carvings in the Yi language of Tuoazhe Jigong Monument, which were found in Dafang County and engraved in Bingwu Year (226) of Jianxing, Shu, are important material evidence for the extensive use of Yi language; Highlight 6: The Yi-Han inscription of Luodian Shuixi bronze bell collected in Dafang County was inscribed as "Ji Dan, Bingyin, April 15th, the 21st year of Chenghua (1458)", which is an inscription in Zhong Ding and has important cultural relics value, 48 years earlier than the "carved stone tablet" in Yunnan. Highlight 7: Ancient Yi books with pictures and illustrations in Guizhou (such as the illustrations of ancient Yi books in Nashi) have strong characteristics, which are extremely difficult to see in ancient Yi books in Yunnan, Sichuan and Guangxi provinces. Highlight 8: As early as 1983, the Guizhou Provincial Department of Education and the Provincial Ethnic Affairs Commission jointly issued a document and decided to carry out ethnic language teaching experiments in relevant schools. Yi language began to formally enter China primary school, which opened the prelude to bilingual teaching of Yi and Chinese in Guizhou Yi inhabited areas. Bilingual teaching of Yi language course "the second classroom mode" is the main teaching mode implemented in Guizhou Yi area, and the effect is particularly remarkable during the trial period in Bijie area where Yi people live in compact communities. Highlight 9. As early as 1955, Bijie, Guizhou Province, which was forced to dissolve during the Cultural Revolution, established the earliest Yi translation group, and resumed its reconstruction in 1977, and achieved a series of important results. After more than 20 years of rescue, less than 20,000 volumes have been collected nationwide, and more than 8,000 volumes of Yi ancient books have been collected in Bijie, Guizhou. Highlight 10: Bijie area of Guizhou Province not only strengthens the collection of Yi language documents, compilation of characters and bilingual application, but also regards ancient Yi language as an important element in creating and spreading Yi culture. It is planned to use the beauty of Yi characters and pictures, pictographic beauty, thick beauty, spiritual beauty and colorful beauty to collect and display ancient Yi literature in Dafang Ancient Yi Cultural Resort and build a "Tianshu Stone Forest" in Jiucaiping, Wumeng Mountain, one of the top ten summer resorts in China. Bijie Yi-language song "Asiri West" entered the national middle school music classroom with a unified textbook, and the "Assili West Index" was also regarded by experts at home and abroad as a naming synonym for the evaluation index system of mountain summer tourism and cool living environment. The cultural value, aesthetic value and inheritance value of ancient Yi language are being further activated. An Jinli, deputy secretary of Bijie District Committee, told experts from Hong Kong and Taiwan that Yi ancient books have a wide range of contents and have high academic research value and contemporary application value. They are not only the treasures of the Chinese nation, but also the treasures of the world. Although a lot of work has been done, there is still a long way to go to save and protect them. Now one is to save books and the other is to save people. In Bijie, although the Yi people in the inhabited areas are still carrying out bilingual teaching and literacy, there are few top experts who are proficient in Yi language like Teacher Wang Jichao, and there are also few Bimo who master ancient books of Yi language in their seventies and eighties. If we don't pay attention to them, there may be a fault in the senior talents of Yi language. Most of the existing Yi ancient books are in remote minority areas. Due to limited conditions, many books suffer from moth-eaten, smoky and rainy weather. More than 70% of Yi ancient books are rare rare rare books at home and abroad. Once they are damaged or lost, it means that this ancient book completely disappears from the earth. Therefore, we are stepping up efforts to do a good job of "saving books" and "saving people". As one of the six ancient Chinese characters in the world, the Yi characters applying for the world memory heritage will be protected and passed down as well as Dongba characters, literature and culture. By the end of February, 65438+2008, archaeologists had discovered or unearthed a large number of ancient Yi languages carved on pottery, stone tools, bone implements, rock paintings and costumes in 29 provinces, cities and districts across the country, that is, "carved symbols". According to statistics, it has been in Hunan, Hubei, Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Xinjiang, Tibet, Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Hong Kong, Hainan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Taiwan Province, Jiangxi, Inner Mongolia and Ningxia. When these characters were discovered by archaeology in the early days, they were always considered as "difficult to explain" or "words left by prehistoric civilization", and even foreign archaeologists called them "information codes left by aliens to the earth". According to the current research, a large number of ancient Yi languages have been found in ancient Italy, Mycenae, India and other places, and the world's unsolved characters such as ancient Italian rock paintings, ancient Mycenae characters, ancient Indian valley characters and ancient Crete characters have all been cracked by ancient Yi languages. In the book "The History of Ancient Yi Civilization", there is a complete cracking process, including font, word meaning and pronunciation, which can be perfectly docked!
