Mondo Social Updated on 2024-02-05

The septuagenarian lady has never been to school since she was a child, and she even writes mysterious words that even experts can't recognize, but the old lady said that it was because she had the guidance of the gods when she was young that she was able to write this "book from heaven".

This old lady is enoughIt has been written for 19 years and has more than a million wordsIs there really a book from heaven? What's the secret behind this?

In a dam village in Shaoyang County, Hunan Province, a primary school principal was walking on his way home when he suddenly found a booklet on the ground, and the words on it were not ordinary Chinese characters. Could it be that the ancient books handed down by whose family fell to the ground?

So the principal contacted the local reporter and said yesI picked up a "book from heaven" in the village, I want to ask the reporter for help, after the reporter saw this booklet, he was also very surprised by the content inside, what are these characters?

So the reporter asked the residents of the village, only to find out that there has always been an old lady named in the villageTang Gengxiu, I have been writing on it in a small notebook all day long, according to the villagersThe old lady couldn't read a single word, but she was very obsessed with writing, writing with a pen all day long when she was doing housework, and even standing there writing seriously when she was doing farm work.

So the reporter invited an expert in writing to go to Tang Gengxiu's home together.

The old lady Tang Gengxiu is 70 years old, and she is no different from the old lady in an ordinary villageLooks ordinary and dresses plainlyTang Gengxiu knew that someone was going to come to inquire about his creation, and he was very happy and enthusiastically invited reporters and experts to his homeLike a few treasures, take out a part of the "Book of Heaven" created by yourself for guests to enjoy.

You can see that there is even oneSome of the works were framed and hung on the wall by Tang Gengxiu, and when I looked to the side, large and small brochures were piled up in the small half of the room, each one is very old.

Tang Gengxiu, who seemed to meet a bosom friend, pulled reporters and experts to keep telling about his worksThe head is the way, and the eyebrows are dancing, completely ignoring the confusion of reporters and experts, if it had not been confirmed that Tang Gengxiu had not gone to school and was an illiterate old man, such a loud narration would have been thought to be the exposition of a knowledgeable and well-known writer.

The experts invited this time are very accomplished in literatureLiu Binhui, a naturalist researcher in Hunan Province, has been studying writing for nearly 20 yearsHe has participated in many academic seminars at home and abroad, not to mention that he knows all the ancient and modern Chinese and foreign languages, but he can recognize which dynasty and which generation.

Even if he has such profound knowledge, he has not been able to understand what Tang Gengxiu's works are written, and he has not even seen themStrange symbols and incomprehensible patterns on it, it's even more confusing, how did Tang Gengxiu, who didn't even go to elementary school, write these words?

When asked how Tang Gengxiu wrote these words, Tang Gengxiu said:All this is God's will. ”

According to Tang Gengxiu's account, in March 1990, Tang Gengxiu got up early in the morning, went out to sell his own tofu with his burden as usual, and was walking on the road, when suddenly a bright light rose in the sky, and Tang Gengxiu, who was stabbed, couldn't open her eyes, she wanted to quickly carry the burden away, but the strange thing is,This bright light stopped Tang Gengxiu, and he was getting closer and closer to him, and three people came out of the bright light, and the bright light was too strong to see who the three people were and what they looked like.

The amazing thing is that these three people actually spoke, and they said to Tang Gengxiu:"We will give you a baby "Book from the Sky", but before that, you need to be unable to speak for three days, otherwise the baby will disappear. ”

Tang Gengxiu believed what the three of them said very much, so the tofu was not sold, nervously carrying the burden and walking in the direction of home, after returning home, no matter how the family asked her, she was silent, and she didn't even eat, until three days later, Tang Gengxiu had been remembering the words of the three people, and then began to speak, so she picked up a branch and drew it on the ground, and she had the ability to write "Book from Heaven".

When he first started writing "Book from Heaven", his family was very poor and couldn't afford to buy paper and pens, so Tang Gengxiu took a wooden stick to write and draw on the groundLook around for discarded paper to use for your own writing, There is no condition to create conditions, take the charcoal at home and dip it in some water and start writing, whether it is doing farm work or housework, as long as there is free time, Tang Gengxiu will keep writing.

Later, Tang Gengxiu, who did farm work, took it to buy paper and pens as soon as he had spare money, and was very obsessed with writing, bound into a booklet, and carried it with him, as long as he was writing, Tang Gengxiu would be very happyWrite for seven or eight hours a day anyway.

Tang Gengxiu even fought at nightI write until 12 p.m., sleep only three or four hours a day, and wake up on time in the early morning, picked up the pen and began to write, writing every day like a fascination, for a long time, the family was very worried about Tang Gengxiu's behavior, and the people in the village also talked about it.

Tang Gengxiu's husband also took her to the hospital for examination, but she had never seen this situation, and her body was also very healthyAs soon as she picked up the pen, she was very energetic

Tang Gengxiu explained that this was God punishing herIf she doesn't write one day and is discovered by God, she will be sick and emotionally unstable, and if she writes on time every day, her body will be very strong, whether it is doing housework or working in the field, they are becoming more and more energetic, and there is no illness or disaster.

"There is a strange woman in the family next door who can only write all day, she doesn't do housework, she doesn't plough the land, and she doesn't know what kind of famous thing she can write, and she thinks she is a great writer? ”

The days passed, and Tang Gengxiu also insistedFor more than ten years, he has been writing "Book from Heaven".In the face of the villagers' questioning voices, she didn't speak, smiled and left, not caring about the discussion of the villagers.

In the vast and profound Chinese culture, there are many novel words and even languagesAre these languages of Tang Gengxiu a kind of ancient script or are they created by Tang Gengxiu himself?

Experts carefully compared and identified, and really found clues from it, according to Tang Gengxiu's narration and introduction, we found about these words,Many of them are through Tang Gengxiu's addition or subtraction of the text we are using today, which became the words written in the old lady's booklet.

In the many pamphlets written by Tang Gengxiu, expert Liu Binhui confirmed his guesses, such as the Chinese character "four", Tang Gengxiu added a few strokes to it to become a word on the booklet, and for example, "Min", after removing a stroke, it also became a word on the booklet, so that the addition and deletion of strokes have different usages in different periods.

In ancient times, because there were many emperors, the name of the common people could not be used, so it wasBy adding or subtracting strokes of Chinese characters, new characters are recreated, how could Tang Gengxiu, who didn't know a single big character, know such a usage?

The expert asked Tang Gengxiu to write down her name, and after careful observation, the expert found herThe way the name was written turned out to be a borrowed wordIt refers to the pretense of using existing words with the same or similar sound to express the meaning you want to express.

How could an illiterate rural woman understand the evolution of writing and be able to create such strange writing? If it is really an ancient script pointed out by "immortals", it is a major discovery in the history of literature.

Although Tang Gengxiu's writing will make people think that this is an ancient book or this is a kind of writing, but experts found that these words have no basis at all, these Tang Gengxiu wrote not an ancient text, nor a new word invented, but rather a group of "symbols", and only Tang Gengxiu can understand and read these words.

According to Tang Gengxiu's son-in-law, "Usually, in addition to writing, I am watching TV, and while watching TV, I will imitate the words on TV, and add my own creation, and I have the words on this booklet." ”

Tang Gengxiu cherishes her works very much, except for the ones that were thrown away when her family objected to them before, she kept all the written booklets by her side, and some of the papers were even yellowed, which made people wonderWhen Tang Gengxiu read these words, he actually cried, why is this?

In order to unravel the truth, the reporter invited a famous psychological expert in Hunan, and the two had a very happy conversation at the beginning, Tang Gengxiu still took out his own works for the psychological experts to appreciate and explain, but what he didn't expect was that Tang Gengxiu's words from the psychological expert angered Tang Gengxiu"Your work may be an imitation of someone else's. ”When Tang Gengxiu heard it, he said that he was suspected of plagiarism? Immediately angry.

Afterwards, the reporter learned from Tang Gengxiu's family that Mrs. TangHave ever suffered from mental illness, and the time of illness was also in 1990, the year when Tang Gengxiu received God's will.

At that time, her family also took her to the hospital**, and her condition improved, which gave an explanation of God's will.

This has to start with Tang Gengxiu when he was young, Tang Gengxiu was still a celebrity in Shaoyang County when he was young, very capable, and once went to the province for a meeting as a representative of the National People's CongressBut Tang Gengxiu, who has not received education since childhood, does not know a single big character, and when he arrives at the door of the toilet, he does not know the sign at the door, and walks into the men's toilet by mistake.

When a man inside saw Tang Gengxiu come in, he was very angry and quarreled with Tang Gengxiu in the toilet, so it didn't take long for him to come inEveryone in the village knew about Tang Gengxiu's entry into the men's toilet.

At that time, the ideology was very feudal, and the gossip of the people in the village spread ten, ten, and hundredThe leaders also thought that Tang Gengxiu's cultural level was low, and that such a thing had happened again, and the impact was very bad, so they removed Tang Gengxiu from his position as a cadre.

was ridiculed because of his low level of education, went to the wrong toilet and was talked about by the people in the village, and now he has been removed from his position, these blows have put Tang Gengxiu under a lot of pressure, and if the pressure is too great, there will be problems with the spirit, so itcaused Tang Gengxiu to suffer from mental illness.

By writing about your inner feelings, you can express and vent themcan make Tang Gengxiu's heart feel better, so this is why Tang Gengxiu cried when he read his words.

At the beginning, the family thought that being able to start writing was to take care of the disease, but in fact, this phenomenon was also a behavior of Tang Gengxiu suffering from mental illness, which may be in Tang Gengxiu's heartWhen you create the "Book of Heaven", you are valuable.

Maybe Tang Gengxiu when he was young had any grievances and digested them silently by himself, and never imposed his pain on others, so Tang Gengxiu would write words on the booklet in this way to vent and express his emotions, and Tang Gengxiu's behavior is also called in medicine"Amnesia in the new word"., a way of reorganizing words and languages with different Chinese characters.

Tang Gengxiu's experience when he was young was quite pitiful, and he suffered a loss of no culture, which caused a lifetime of troubleI also hope that in life, we should think twice before we say and do things, and try to avoid similar tragedies from happening again.
