Dahe Network News: Everyone has heard of oracle bone script, but do you know oracle bone script? How many oracle bone inscriptions are there? What do they all look like? As an ancient script, oracle bone script is far from the general public, and the revitalization and utilization of oracle bone script is a major issue that we need to research and solve at present.

In 2019, Liu Yongge, a teacher from the School of Computer and Information Engineering at Anyang Normal University, led a team to develop the world's first free Oracle big data platform, "Yin Qiwen Yuan," which made a stunning debut, bringing Oracle closer to the general public.

How will computers understand text from 3000 years ago? How can oracle bone inscriptions keep the "underdogs" cool when they collide with modern technology? How to showcase the charm of oracle bone script in a form that is popular among the public?

Go deep into archaeological sites and master first-hand information

The oracle bone script, which has been dormant for 3000 years, urgently needs to be awakened

"In 2000, when I returned to school, two teachers studying oracle bone inscriptions urged me to carry out research on oracle bone inscriptions' informatization, and my understanding of oracle bone inscriptions was equivalent to a blank. As an undergraduate student majoring in mathematics and a recent graduate of a master's degree in computer software, Liu Yongge was determined to make oracle bone inscriptions' informatization research a lifelong pursuit.".

When it comes to his research work, Liu Yongge jokingly describes it as "blocking both ends". He said, "On one end is China's oldest civilization oracle bone script, and on the other end is advanced computer technology and artificial intelligence."

Oracle bone script was discovered in the north of Xiaotun Village, Wuli, northwest of Anyang City, more than 3000 years ago. This ancient script is also full of mystery and unknown due to its age. Cracking Oracle bone script has become a world problem, and there is still a difficult problem to solve - we cannot input it into a computer.

"Because oracle bone script is different from Chinese characters, there are many characters that we do not recognize. Therefore, you cannot use Pinyin input method, and some characters are like a painting, so they cannot use radicals or be separated. Previously, oracle bone script input method used encoding input, which had a high memory burden and learning cost." Liu Yongge said.

Liu Yongge said that in the past, whether it was writing papers, giving lectures, or conducting research, all occasions required the use of image pasting, the development of oracle bone script input methods, and the establishment of a font library, making it easy for anyone to input is crucial.

"The main task of my team and I is to use computer technology to study the encoding, character library, input method, and database construction of oracle bone script, and provide some tools for oracle bone script experts to assist in oracle bone script research."

Liu Yongge engages in academic exchanges with industry experts and scholars

The Yin Qi Wen Yuan instantly brought oracle bone inscriptions to life

In order to learn the latest research results and keep up with the times, whenever experts in oracle bone inscriptions come to Anyang, Liu Yongge and team members always actively seek advice; I have to attend the academic research conference on oracle bone inscriptions no matter how tight the time is

As we delved deeper into our understanding, Liu Yongge discovered that the oldest written language of our nation, due to its obscurity, difficulty in understanding, and limited research materials, was incompatible with real-world technology, resulting in low research efficiency.

How to enable the sharing of research information on oracle bone inscriptions, enable the sharing of resources among all mankind, and collaborate on collaborative research? Liu Yongge decided to use his expertise to draw a blueprint for the development of oracle bone inscriptions.

So a project called "Yin Qi Wen Yuan", which gathers oracle bone inscriptions information, was quietly launched. This project is to provide the world with all information about oracle bone inscriptions on the Internet, so that people around the world can understand, understand and study oracle bone inscriptions. In 2019, the world's first free oracle bone database "Yin Qiwen Yuan", meticulously crafted by Liu Yongge's team over 8 years, made a stunning debut.

"For example, if you don't recognize a certain character, you can log in to our Yin Qi Wen Yuan and click on the radical to find information related to that character. You can input that character into the document," Liu Yongge said for example.

Since the first day of the opening of "Yin Qi Wen Yuan", the platform has provided free services to users around the world. It currently has 152 descriptions and is the largest oracle bone database. "It not only serves global experts in oracle bone inscriptions, archaeology, history, and writing, but also attracts enthusiasts of ancient Chinese characters, primary and secondary school Chinese teachers, calligraphy enthusiasts, and others to use it."

Previously, it was difficult to find oracle bone inscriptions, and even oracle bone experts could not have access to all the information. After the completion of the "Yin Qi Wen Yuan" project, this problem was solved.

"Using the Old to Lead the New" to Do a Good Job in the Informationization Research, Continuation and Inheritance of Oracle Bone Inscription

Empowering technological innovation to decipher the "civilization code" of oracle bones

Just recently, Liu Yongge's laboratory collaborated with Tencent to jointly carry out human-machine collaboration to assist in the research and inheritance of oracle bone inscriptions. This project mainly focuses on two aspects of work.

"On the one hand, it is to use artificial intelligence technology to provide intelligent tools for interpreting oracle bone inscriptions, such as ancient text graphic retrieval tools. These tools will be set up in the 'Yin Qi Wen Yuan'. On the other hand, Tencent's dissemination platform advantages will be utilized for the dissemination of oracle bone inscriptions, such as the WeChat mini program 'Amazing Oracle Bone inscriptions' that we are currently working on. We will spread oracle bone inscriptions culture to the public, especially in primary and secondary schools, and carry out research activities to develop from our province to the whole country. The mini program will undergo internal testing at the end of March." Liu Yongge introduced.

To complete the information collection and input work of the Oracle big data platform, students participate in Oracle informationization research projects every year from their freshman year. With the support of Liu Yongge, the college also offered a characteristic course on Oracle Bone Inscription Information Processing.

"Experts in oracle bone inscriptions, calligraphy, and information technology... Currently, we have formed a cross disciplinary and multidisciplinary team for oracle bone inscriptions' information processing, and the teaching and research of oracle bone inscriptions' information technology are among the top in the country," said Liu Yongge proudly.

"At present, we have achieved three technological breakthroughs in our cooperation with Tencent. Firstly, we have proposed a fully informative digital model of oracle bone inscriptions. Secondly, we have developed high-definition shooting technology for oracle bone inscriptions using lighting transformation matrices. Thirdly, we have established the technology and equipment for three-dimensional modeling of oracle bone inscriptions and will immediately conduct the first batch of oracle bone inscriptions' three-dimensional modeling experiments."

"Do a good job in inheritance, build the 'Yin Qi Wen Yuan' well, and make Anyang truly a world oracle bone data center; boldly innovate, use artificial intelligence technology to decipher oracle bone inscriptions, empower research with technology, use computers to decipher oracle bone inscriptions, uncover the 'civilization code' behind oracle bones, and tell the story of oracle bone inscriptions." Liu Yongge said that he wants to bring oracle bone research into a new era of intelligence.

New comment: Donkey like "morale" limit pulls US debt "bomb" fuse hard to dismantle US | debt | morale

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
