Chinese Scripts Before
Turtle
The
red mark on the yellow object looks very
much like the sign on a torpedo that
destroyed a South Korean warship. But there are
differences. Firstly, the broken object
on display is not a torpedo scooped out
of the sea but a pottery jar unearthed
from a Chinese tomb. Secondly, the red
mark was not created with a mark pen by,
probably, a South Korean investigator or
an U.S. Navy officer, but inscribed
with a brush pen by, without doubt, a
Chinese. Thirdly, the red sign is not a
Korean word evolved from Chinese character that has its origin in Turtle Script (甲骨文). The sign belongs to a
script system that is earlier than the
Turtle. In other words, the Turtle Script
is not the source of the Chinese written
language but the upgrade of an earlier
version dating back to 4,000 years ago.
The
relics were unearthed in 1984 in Shanxi Province and now for the
first time are being displayed in Beijing
Museum.

A young
lady in Wuhan, the
capital city of Hubei
Province in the
lower reach of the Yangtze
River, was
spotted earlier this
month to calmly read her
book in the midst of
flood. The legs of the
stone bench that she was
reclining on had all been
submerged in water. An
stunned passer-by video
recorded the scene and
posted the clip on the
Forum of China Voice (华声论坛) under
Netnamed On Other Side Of
Sea (海的那边)
This
is not a magic river with
shallow water and
navigating signs all
around, but an ordinary
street in a bustling
China metropolitan during
this wild flood season.
