"Xia Yu Shu", the seal script on the stone wall, was first seen in "Fa Tie·Shenpinmu", which says: "The seal script on the stone wall of Xia Yu's book is in Changjiang Mountain, Pingjiang County."

The explanatory text was first seen in "Four Tie Shenpin Catalog". Kuquan Shu·Qin Ding Chunhua Pavilion Notes Interpretation" is interpreted as: "When Nie Zi was ordered, the stars were aligned, and they were still in harmony." This obviously cannot be read in full, and it does not seem to have anything to do with Dayu, so the academic community does not recognize it. .

However, it is worthy of recognition that the interpretation of the three words "Zi, Yu (萅,春), Shang" is still correct and has been recognized by most scholars.

Edit the controversial translation of this paragraph

For thousands of years, no identifiable interpretation of Xia Yu's book has been handed down, so it is said to be an unsolved mystery of the ages; it is even given a mythical legend. Adding to its unrecognizable mystery. It is one of the eight ancient Chinese characters that cannot be deciphered.

"Daguan Tie" translates the full text as "I ordered Nie Zixing to record Qi Chun's practice of discipline". This is obviously not readable and not recognized by academic circles.

The "Sikuquanshu·The Interpretation of Chunhua Pavilion Notes" is interpreted as: "When Nie Zi was sent out, the stars recorded Qi Chun, which was still tempered."

According to the current research results, Among Xia Yu's books, 5 are in ancient Yi script and 7 are in Oracle bone script. There are many versions of the translation. One literal translation is: "I was born in Yanzi, I left my skin to enjoy the spring, and I returned to the new world." The free translation is: "I was born in Niezi, I fell into the spring of the Qi Dynasty, and I enjoy the exchanges." The modern vernacular translation is: : "The Nie people in the wilderness like to travel in spring." It records the living customs of the Nie people.

There is also a saying that the words "Yu", "Qi" and "Yi" are not very clear. Obviously, some people think that the origin itself or the damage caused by the Molech period. The text consists of four words and three sentences, and the font is believed by some scholars to have the charm of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Shengyu Yanzi: It reflects the author’s hardships in working from dawn to dusk, rain or shine, as well as the strict and almost harsh requirements for himself and his family.

Sitting and walking to participate in Yu: This is a saying, be careful in words and deeds, be diligent and thrifty, and often reflect on yourself when encountering problems. Shen, the person who takes part in the examination.

Shang Yi Gou: Shang is the ancestral text of reward; Yi is the city; Gou is the ancestral text of Jiu. Therefore, "Qi Shangyi Gou" means "Qi Shangyi Gou", which means that the city and the vassal states that were rewarded in such a difficult state will prosper for a long time. I think the author himself wrote it to express his feelings of being rewarded for his merits. It reflects his pride in what he has paid for. He has received the emperor's reward for his previous rigorous and dedicated work, and his arduous deeds of overcoming obstacles. He further hopes that his great achievements will be solid and reliable because of his own hardships.

Some people think that the current Chinese character it corresponds to is: "Born with good taste, the stars are in the same spring, and they are good for a long time." It should be Oracle. The whole article is as clear as words and rhymes, meaning contentment and happiness. (Among them, the editor of "Chinese Studies Forum" believes that the first character is "bird" and the third character of the second sentence is "三".)

The important significance of editing this paragraph

Due to the mixed use of ancient Yi script and oracle bone inscriptions, Xia Yu's script is more difficult to interpret than Cangjie script, which shows that Xia culture has become highly complex. The language of the Chinese "Xia Yu Shu" is even more refined than that of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". It should be written earlier than "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". It is the original form of the character formation process. If the authenticity of Xia Yu's script can be proven, it means that the formation of Chinese characters should be in The Xia Dynasty begins. Ma Heshan believes that the Book of Xia Yu is a very precious cultural heritage left by the ancestors to future generations. It is a handed down text of the Xia Dynasty, but it is regarded by some people as a fake book, or said to be forged by future generations, or said to be fabricated by Zhang San and Li Si.

These are some untrue words that cannot withstand any scrutiny. I advise the fakers to be more realistic. [Xia Yushu] has a total of twelve characters. Which one is fake? Which words are after the oracle bone inscriptions? Are there any characters that existed before oracle bone inscriptions in [Xia Yu Shu]? This is a piece of cake for experts and scholars who study oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions. How can you kill a chicken with an ox-knife? [Xia Yu Shu] Explanation:

Bird, Nie The son sits down to introduce the ginseng.

The arrows in the village are still dry.

[Xia Yu Shu] Interpretation

Entering the Bird Land, Xia Yu knelt down and

guided everyone to worship [ancestors].

The storage of bows and arrows is for the purpose of defending

territory and sacrificial activities.

[Xia Yushu] records that in the Xia Dynasty, foreign wars and sacrifices to ancestors and gods

were listed as the most important activities of the emperor. [Zuo Chuan. In the 13th year of Chenggong's reign, it is clearly recorded that "the great affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military affairs." In fact, this was already the case in the Xia Dynasty. It can be seen that the content of [Xia Yu Shu] is a rare and important historical material for the study of Xia Dynasty. [Xia Yushu] is an original text, and no ancient Yi characters have been found in the book.
