At this time, where we were standing, a huge stone tablet stood impressively!
Because it was too dark in the tomb just now, and the stone tablet was not in the center of the tomb, I didn't notice it at first!
The stone tablet is about two meters high, and it is densely engraved with large and small words. It looks more like an article, or a biography!
When Qin Guan asked me if I knew the ancient text, he probably wanted to ask me if I knew the words on the stone tablet.
Looking at Qin Guan's expectant eyes, he probably gave me hope. Although the writing in the Tang Dynasty used regular script which is very close to the current simplified Chinese, there are still many differences.
The fonts of the Tang Dynasty are divided into small regular script and traditional small regular script. Generally speaking, small regular script is easy to read and is not much different from modern characters. Just like Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Lanting Collection", it is not a big problem to fully understand it.
But this traditional small regular script is different. Basically it contains rare characters. If it is really difficult for someone who does not understand ancient characters to read it, it is still quite difficult. I can only recognize some of the fonts, which is a bit of a joke for the understanding of the entire article.
Just like when you took an English test and only knew a few English words, could you translate the entire paragraph?
What a coincidence, the article on this stone tablet is written in traditional small regular script!
Qin Guan and I stood in front of this stone tablet, staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes. Although Qin Guan said that he was looking at me expectantly, I could only shake my head at him. If I want to complete the translation, I can only To put it bluntly, I can’t do it!
Seeing me shaking my head, Qin Guan also sighed, and the sense of disappointment immediately replaced the sense of expectation.
Seeing Qin Guan's gaze, I suddenly had an idea and thought of a way to interpret this inscription. The sudden idea made me laugh.
"What's wrong? You can't see the inscription, but you seem very proud?" Qin Guan also saw my smile and said helplessly.
I shook my head: "No, just because I can't see it doesn't mean that others can't see it. Wait, I'll get you help from the sidelines!"
After saying that, I took out my mobile phone and made a call.
Who? Who else could it be? Of course it’s our top student and class star, Zhou Yuxi!
I have said before that she has a course in the university called "Research and Annotation of Ancient Characters". She can recognize some Chinese characters with a very long history, such as small regular script, and she can pick them up with her hands!
"Hey, you haven't contacted me in a few days? Why do you want to call me?" As soon as the call was connected, Zhou Yuxi's cursing voice came from the other side like a ringing bell.
"I haven't been busy during this time! And didn't I just leave you? I didn't come in time!" Facing her, I didn't have any temper at all.
"What about a while ago? If you haven't contacted me for several weeks, why don't you delete me!" Zhou Yuxi continued.
This girl is really weird. Isn’t this incident over? Why did it come up again when I thought about it? Are all girls like this?
Because during the holidays before, when the time was longer, we would chat on WeChat or make phone calls. But since I came out of school, this kind of contact has become less. Adding to what happened some time ago, So at this time, I also understood her anger towards me.
"Okay, team leader, I'm calling you this time because I have something to trouble you with." I quickly changed the subject. If I kept talking about this matter with her, I was afraid it would get more and more confusing.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Zhou Yuxi also said arrogantly.
"I have an ancient stone tablet text in small regular script here. Can you translate it?" I said directly to the topic.
"Send it over and I'll take a look." Zhou Yuxi said unequivocally.
After saying that, I hung up the phone and asked Qin Guan to help me light it. I used my camera to take a complete picture of the inscription on the stone tablet, and then sent the photo using WeChat.
"Is it useful?" Qin Guan also asked me after doing all this.
"Wait!"
Sure enough, in less than ten minutes, Zhou Yuxi called.
However, as soon as the call was connected, I could hear a hint of impatience and a hint of excitement in Zhou Yuxi's ringing voice!
"Where did you get this inscription?" Zhou Yuxi asked me directly.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" I asked confused.
"Do you know what this inscription says?" Zhou Yuxi continued to ask.
"I know why I'm still asking you?" I asked.
"This inscription records a person, and it is a very complete autobiography. Do you know who it is?" Zhou Yuxi's voice became more and more excited when he spoke, and it felt like he was about to scream.
"Speak quickly and stop being so pretentious!"
Zhou Yuxi paused at this time, cleared her throat, and then slowly spoke three words to me.
"An Qingxu!!"
