My art is too advanced.

Chapter 262: Is there going to be an earthquake? (Monthly vote requested!!!)

On the second day, we officially began to study these bamboo slips.

Zhou Yue naturally wanted to finish early and go back early.

After all, he still has so many things piled up there. Not to mention, he still has to review the papers in the three major journals one by one.

Now it seems.

The workload on these bamboo slips should not be too great.

It’s just that its value needs to be carefully considered.

Zhou Yue didn't think much about it.

He carefully identified the bamboo slips. There were two staff members beside him who were responsible for helping him to take the bamboo slips and other things as an aid.

Zhou Yue didn't think much about it.

Just start identifying.

For example, there will be a carved diagonal line on the back of the bamboo slip.

This kind of thing is an example that the bamboo slips are not forged. After all, this kind of shape can be found on many bamboo slips of the same period. This is for better splicing when the bamboo slips are scattered.

As for the diagonal lines, they have different heights but the order will not be disrupted.

The bamboo slips were strung together with hemp ropes. There is an ancient story about the bamboo slips being broken three times, which means that the bamboo slips were strung together by hemp ropes because the student studied so hard that the hemp ropes broke several times.

There are also some test results, which can also serve as circumstantial evidence.

Times of Day.

Zhou Yue read no less than five hundred bamboo slips.

No less than twenty pieces of circumstantial evidence were written down to prove that the bamboo slips were authentic.

Among them, some are the font, handwriting, shape, hardness and even some small details of the bamboo slips themselves.

It is more about the content of the bamboo slips themselves.

Double evidence method.

Use existing documents to prove unearthed documents.

Then use the unearthed documents to prove the underground documents.

This is very simple.

As long as you have something in your stomach, you will know.

So it wasn't difficult for him at all.

However, others can only see it.

Zhou Yue kept asking two staff members to turn the bamboo slips up and down repeatedly.

This made others feel a little distressed.

As expected of a young man, he is quite rough!
However, Zhou Yue also consulted the staff. These bamboo shoots have remained new over time and can still be restored to their original appearance today. This proves that this kind of thing can be turned over on a small scale without causing damage.

Zhou Yue recorded each piece of evidence.

He didn't ask anyone else to take notes.

That's too slow.

He could see some problems with some things at a glance.

But for others, it is extremely difficult to even replicate the text above.

Not to mention letting them record it.

Without even reading all the history books.

Some words are difficult to deal with.

Even though they were all experts in ancient Chinese characters, Zhou Yue didn't want to let them work too much, as he would be faster if he could do the work himself.

Preface to Zhaoming Wenxuan.

Be determined to learn, and you will never learn everything even when you are old.

Ancient history is so complicated.

From elementary school to old age, I can never finish watching it.

But he is different.

He had a bank of literary questions from his previous life. The history of the two worlds was similar, just like homophones. As long as one could recognize the characters, it would be easy to see some things.

Three days.

Zhou Yue handed a paper to Director Li.

"Director Li, this is my paper. I have something else to do at Ning University, so I will leave this working group first. Please take a look at it first. If there are any problems or areas that need improvement, you can point them out and I will make some changes."

Director Li was somewhat surprised.

Zhou Yue did not go with them to conduct research these days.

Instead, he just dismantled the bamboo slips on his own.

But it is also a way of research, and he has also read some of the information compiled by Zhou Yue, which are all very reasonable and valuable, so he just let him go.

But I didn't expect that it would only be such a short time, just a few days, three days!

Have you already written a specific paper?
However, Director Li did not show any emotion.

Instead, I read this paper carefully.

Finally, his hands trembled slightly, and his eyes suddenly widened.

"Teacher Zhou took three days to write this?"

Complete an academic paper in three days.

This in itself is surprising enough.

Even now, he can see that almost all of his views and ideas appear in this paper without omission.

That is to say, their research and some ideas are almost coincidental.

Even more so,

This paper has more than 10,000 words.

Not a single word is superfluous.

The true age and inferences of this batch of bamboo slips are proved from various aspects.

And the arguments are extremely effective.

It's almost ironclad evidence.

As for some speculations, there are sufficient arguments and analysis later.

This is pretty much a standard essay!

"Yes, three days." Zhou Yue smiled, "In fact, I wrote it in just one night last night."

"After all, I have things to do at Ning University, so I can't stay too long, so if I finish it early, I can hand it in early."

Director Li read the paper again, from beginning to end.

It took almost an hour.

Zhou Yue was not in a hurry. He just sat aside and kept replying to messages.

Director Li came back to his senses only after he finished replying to the messages accumulated in the work group over the past few days.

"This article is groundbreaking. I haven't seen such a good paper in a long time." Director Li looked serious.

"It is no exaggeration to say that this article can almost become a benchmark in literature, history, and linguistics."

"Some of the evidence and historical facts here are hard for me to even think of."

"And once this paper is published, there should be no more doubts about our batch of bamboo slips from Jinghua University."

"Teacher Zhou not only confirmed the authenticity of the bamboo slips, but also analyzed some of the obscure contents in them."

"It's hard to imagine that this is the result of three days of labor. If it had been three months, or even three years, I wouldn't be so surprised."

"No wonder Mr. Zhou has such high academic achievements. Moreover, the title of Level 4 professor is still too low for Mr. Zhou."

"If Mr. Zhou were not the dean of the School of Architecture at Ningbo University, I think we would have poached him no matter what the cost."

He also had some regrets.

The person in front of him might not think highly of the identity he gave him, after all, he is a big shot in science and engineering.

Even if he poached someone, he would only make him the director of a research institute. But such positions were relatively noble and did not earn much money.

There is no way to compare with science and engineering.

He held the paper in his hand.

"I will publish this paper as soon as possible, and there is no need for any changes, because these conditions set by Professor Zhou have already included the research ideas of most of us."

“Even if we discover something else, we can only publish another paper to supplement Professor Zhou’s paper.”

“This paper is great.”

He was at his wit's end.

It’s not that I haven’t seen good papers.

However, this was the first time he had seen a paper that contained almost no nonsense.

Even when they do research, they cannot avoid having some personal subjective ideas. However, here, Mr. Zhou does not have any subjective ideas at all. He directly presents historical facts and some inferences.

In fact, even if those inferences are impeccable, Zhou Yue is still uncertain.

Speculation is still just speculation.

Rather than jumping to conclusions.

Too much logic.

Many things and angles of thinking are extremely complete.

This made Director Li unable to let it go.

"Okay, thank you Director Li."

"We should be the ones thanking you."

“The content here is really shocking.”

Director Li waved his hand.

Zhou Yue also smiled.

"Director Li, you are too polite. I am only a primary school student in the ancient Chinese character major. I still have a lot to learn."

Director Li opened his mouth, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

In the end, nothing was said.

Looking at Zhou Yue's leaving back, Director Li suddenly felt that he was getting old.

Is this Teacher Zhou’s speed?
More than 2,000 bamboo slips, and the entire thesis was written in three days?

If he is given more time, will he be able to thoroughly study this batch of bamboo slips within half a month?
He doesn't bother to do such basic things, right?

However, this has been sufficiently demonstrated in this paper.

Although it is not comprehensive, it has raised some thought-provoking questions in this batch of bamboo slips. Although some of them have no answers, being able to raise questions and having a sense of problem awareness is already better than more than 99% of practitioners.

Plus those deep inferences.

This is enough to prove the depth and precision of his knowledge, which is rarely seen in the world.

He read the paper carefully many times.

I recorded some of the thoughts inside.

These are the questions raised by Teacher Zhou.

Maybe they need to do research.

Some of the strange clauses that he had felt before were all mentioned here, which shows how heavy the workload of Teacher Zhou is in recent days.

In other words, even if he were to write it himself, he might not be able to write it like this.

It’s not necessarily possible, but it’s almost impossible.

The content here is so solid, there is not a single cluttered word.

"There's going to be an earthquake." Director Li sighed.

Indeed.

And it’s not just paleography.

Literature, history, philosophy, archaeology, and linguistics may all be shaken by this paper.

This was something he had not expected.

He made many copies of the paper, then walked out and went into Oracle's storage room.

There are still many elderly people here who are carefully identifying and working.

"Teacher Zhou had something else to do at Ning University, so he left immediately."

After hearing what Director Li said, everyone temporarily put down their work because they were also shocked by the news.

They still quite liked this young man and felt it was a pity for him to leave temporarily.

After all, although this young man seemed unsociable, they had indeed noticed in their work over the past few days that Professor Zhou was quite meticulous and had even discovered many interesting things.

Sometimes, Zhou Yue would share some content during their meetings.

The logical reasoning ability and thinking style are very novel.

It is the only relatively young thought among these old guys.

Moreover, after a few days of contact, they were able to feel Professor Zhou's profound knowledge and realized that he was fully capable of being on par with them in terms of academics.

Even a casual remark like that is enough to make them think deeply for a long time.

And just throwing out a piece of historical data is enough to make them feel amazed.

"Then Director Li, will Teacher Zhou come back? After all, our project is not finished yet. Moreover, this project is so big that so many of us may need the signatures of experts in the end."

"Teacher Zhou is not coming back."

Everyone felt a little disappointed. After all, after all the time they had spent together, Teacher Zhou was still a very nice person, as gentle and kind as an ancient gentleman.

Everyone likes him very much, and Teacher Zhou is also a very kind person who can chat with anyone.

And the way he treats people gives people a very comfortable feeling.

"But that's true. Mr. Zhou is the dean of the School of Architecture and has many things to deal with. Moreover, he has achieved such success at his age, so he must be very busy."

"I saw Professor Zhou reviewing some journal articles overnight. He was so fast at reviewing the articles. Young people nowadays are getting better and better."

"Yes, Mr. Zhou's academic level is beyond doubt. I looked at Mr. Zhou's resume before. He is a second-level professor at the age of 23, second only to an academician. He can take the time to come and help us take a look at this batch of bamboo slips. He must be very interested in the study of ancient characters."

"If you don't have time, forget it. If there is another project like this in the future, you can invite Teacher Zhou. I think Teacher Zhou's research level of ancient characters is still very high. It's a pity now."

Director Li saw them say this.

I also sighed slightly.

It is unprecedented to be able to achieve such a level of academic achievement in one's twenties.

but.

He glanced at the paper in his hand.

His expression was a little complicated again.

"Teacher Zhou left me a paper before he left. I have printed it out for everyone. I will ask the staff to distribute it to everyone later."

"This paper has not been published yet, but it is expected to be published in our Jinghua University Social Science Journal next week."

As he spoke, he handed a stack of papers to everyone.

Some old professors were quite surprised.

They usually publish papers in journals of unearthed documents, or document research, as well as some journals of ancient characters and linguistics.

But they did not expect that this paper would be published in the social science edition.

Jinghua University's social science journal is the top liberal arts journal in the country, almost unrivaled.

Moreover, the coverage is extremely wide and the selection requirements are extremely high. It can be said that each paper is enough to cause great shock in the liberal arts field in today's society.

Generally, they are comprehensive papers, such as research on literature, history, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, economics and other issues.

They will be reviewed by top scholars.

But now it seems that this article has been reviewed?

Indeed, Director Li is one of the editors-in-chief of the journal.

However, can this paper be published just like that?
