New Year's Day.
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
East Capital Library, Side Building.
Fang Cheng glanced at the display rack introducing the activities held during the holidays.
Then walk along the corridor and quickly find a multimedia Lecture Hall.
When I opened the door and walked in, I saw a gray-haired female scholar standing on the podium, debugging slides.
It seems that the lecture activities have just begun.
There were already many people sitting inside, including older scholars in the field and some young students.
Fang Cheng quietly sat on the empty seat in the last row and joined in.
The female scholar played with the Mike wind on the podium and cleared her throat.
This is a signal to the audience who are whispering in the audience to be quiet.
As the discussion stopped one after another, the female scholar began the lecture.
"As we all know, there are many different languages in the world we live in. In Xia Country alone, more than 100 languages have been discovered so far. If it were placed around the world, this number would be even more amazing..."
Fang Cheng also pricked up his ears and fell into listening mode.
I had seen the speaker's resume on the display shelf before.
East Capital University Professor of the Department of Archeology, famous paleoanthropologist, Hao Yu.
In some aspects of academic research, he should be regarded as the world's top authoritative scholar.
The name of this lecture is:
"The theory of common origin of world languages and its significance for the history of human evolution."
Just as Professor Hao was making his opening remarks, there was a rapid sound of high heels hitting the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a wisp of fragrant wind blew over my face.
There was a graceful female figure sitting directly next to Fang Cheng.
Fang Cheng looked sideways and found that it was the beautiful teacher Lin Chuqiao whom he met that day.
"Shh!"
Being late, she raised a finger to signal not to speak.
Fang Cheng turned his head speechlessly.
Although this woman has helped him, the relationship between the two is not that familiar, right?
Today, she is wearing a beige skirt full of dignified temperament, which makes her figure even more proud than before.
The faint smell of perfume sprayed on the body wafts over from time to time, which is inevitably distracting.
Fang Cheng sniffed and frowned slightly.
Sometimes, having a too sensitive sense of smell is not a good thing.
After glancing at the woman next to him, he chose to sit a seat away from her.
Lin Chuqiao looked calmly in the direction of the podium, but a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"In our academic circles, the oldest common language element is called "primitive vowel". It originated from the primitive tribes who lived on the mainland plateau during the great flood. After the flood receded, it was carried around the world by the survivors."
Professor Hao Turn on the slide projector and use the prepared copywriting pictures to explain your academic opinions.
"Primeval Vowel can be said to be the most basic type of guttural sounds that humans can produce. It uses vowels and monosyllables as the core elements to express important things in the lives of primitive people."
"For example, the relationship between humans and gods and demons, the sun, moon and stars, the changes in the four seasons, life, old age, illness and death, and it has left traces in almost all languages."
She walked around the stage, raising her hand to point to the five basic vowel sounds displayed on a slide on the curtain.
"The vowel E, in Xia Country language pronunciation and writing, retains the most complete original state, that is, a horizontal line represents the earth from east to west and the origin of all things, which is the "one" of numbers and the "one" of Taiyi."
"The vowel O, in the original text, is a circle, representing the sky and infinite time, with no starting point and no end. It also corresponds to Wuji in Xia Country culture."
"The vowel I is a symbol from top to bottom, representing the ladder connecting heaven and earth, man and god."
"Coincidentally, the combination of these three vowels happens to be the name of the Creator in ancient Desert Language..."
Professor Hao tells the original meanings of the five vowels in turn, and then makes a summary:
"All languages in the world can be seen as a tree-like derivation system, and Primeval Vowel is the root of the human language tree."
"The Xia Country language family is one of the very important language systems that takes into account both phonetic and pictographic semantics. It is also the language family with the largest population base in the world today. It has extremely important research value for our academic community..."
Having said this, Professor Hao took a sip of tea and took a short rest.
When he continued to talk next, his tone became a little heavier.
"I believe everyone has heard that a very unfortunate thing happened to the Western Mountains early last month. Many of my colleagues and friends were killed."
"However, some things that can support the theory of Primeval Vowel were also found in the Western Mountains archaeological remains."
Hearing this, not only Fang Cheng was aroused with strong interest, but other scholars couldn't help but whisper.
Professor Hao did not sell it, and quickly said:
"Next, I'll play a tape."
"This is the audio data compiled by deciphering the original text found in the Underground Palace by our archaeologists."
As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience couldn't help but burst into uproar.
Lin Chuqiao then leaned his head over and whispered:
"Listen carefully, maybe the answer you are looking for is in it."
Fang Cheng glanced at her in slight surprise.
At the same time, I also held some expectations, calmed down, and waited quietly.
Professor Hao took out a cassette tape and put it into the player on the podium.
There is no mistake, every song is published and every content is read one by one!
Perhaps in order to allow everyone to better immerse themselves in the listening atmosphere, the top lighting lights were also turned off one after another.
Click.
As the keys sounded, the faint rustling sound of the tape rotating was transmitted to the entire Lecture Hall through the Mike wind.
In the darkness, everyone held their breath and concentrated, waiting for the audio data to be officially opened.
Swish, swish, swish...
Just when everyone was getting a little impatient with waiting.
Moo Ang--
Suddenly, a desolate and deep Moo Sound sounded from the player.
Then through the propagation of Mike wind, the sound waves are instantly spread to everyone's ears.
This sound is like coming from the distant past, traveling through Space-time, and arriving here.
It makes one's heart tremble slightly.
I don't know how other listeners feel specifically.
Fang Cheng It was as if a string was suddenly plucked in his mind.
Buzz buzz--
As the sound waves vibrate, I feel a strange resonance between my body and the surrounding environment.
That kind of extremely deep rhythm is like knocking on a door that was originally closed in the brain, and there are faint signs of sudden enlightenment.
Before he could think about it carefully.
Another syllable sounded next.
This vowel seems to be leaking out from the slightly opened door.
Very slight and very noisy.
Gradually, it turned into a sound like the tide.
In a daze, Fang Cheng actually felt like he was actually there.
Just in front of him, a huge wave was taking shape, constantly beating against the door, ready to pour out.
The momentum was so majestic that Fang Cheng couldn't help but wonder if he was having some kind of hallucination.
As soon as I thought about it, I was still deeply attracted by it and felt very happy.
And right now.
Panel flashes of light, also appearing in front of our eyes.
[Eastern Ocean Language lv1(13/250)]
[Southeast Asian Language lv0(95/100)]
[Desert Language lv0(87/100)]
[Latin lv0(64/100)]
Four of them, Language Skills, shined brighter than usual.
If you look carefully.
It can be found that the experience value on Panel echoes with the syllables and continues to soar upwards.
