The Heavenly Book and Stone Stele left by Dayu, which no one has been able to decipher for 4,000 years, has finally been deciphered!
Speaking of Dayu, probably the most familiar story to everyone is the story of "Dayu's flood control". It is said that after he quelled the floods, he erected a 77-character stone tablet of the Heavenly Book on the top of the peak of today's Hengshan Mountain in Hunan Province. For more than 4,000 years, countless literati and poets passed by here, but they were unable to decipher the words engraved on it. Now, after decades of painstaking research, an ancient writing scholar named Ma Heshan has finally deciphered the contents of this heavenly book stone tablet. So what did Dayu write?
Now it stands on the rickety-shaped stone tablet. The shape of each character on the King Yu stele on the mountain peak looks particularly like tadpole inscriptions. However, according to some current research by scholars, this 77-character inscription is neither Oracle Bone Inscription nor some older inscriptions, so it can be identified It was very laborious. Even an archaeological master like Guo Moruo could only distinguish the three characters above after three years of research.
In this regard, the famous text research expert Ma Heshan used his perseverance and spent decades studying the 77 heavenly script characters on the Monument of King Yu, and finally translated all the texts on the Monument of King Yu. 77 characters, the original text is as follows: "The emperor's tomb is here, and the wings are supporting Yongwei. The disaster arrows are coming, Juhuan is traveling, and the three rivers are surging. Passing the north of Hebei and laying a memorial ceremony, it is like a forgotten bird. Staying in the foothills of Yue, praying for the unitary flow, The rivers and lakes are long, and the people of Hua and Yue are in peace. p>
So, what is the specific meaning of these words? In fact, the general content of the text of the Monument of King Yu is: Starting from the order of Emperor Shun, Dayu began to write for decades in order to control floods. When I returned to my hometown, I forgot even the relatives and birds in my hometown. And because Dayu appointed talented people in the process of flood control, the flood control was a great success. From then on, all the channels in the south were unobstructed, and the people had enough food and clothing. From then on, there were no more floods for hundreds of years.
However, why has only Ma Heshan been able to decipher the words above for thousands of years? He explained this: "What is recorded on the Monument of King Yu, and why has everyone been afraid of it for thousands of years?" Perhaps it is silently waiting for its Bole to come and decipher it. It should be said that only when he meets the right person at the right time can he and Dayu have a clear connection. ”
