The main content of the interpretation of Baiyu is as follows:

The incident originated from the fact that sixty-eight years ago, at the end of the Anti-Japanese War in my country, the boy was sitting in a classroom with a mud floor and thatch roof (it had just been In the first period of junior high school). Mr. Liu Lanpo, a Chinese document teacher from Chengdu, walked in quickly with a stick of incense in his hand, stepped onto the podium, bowed to us, and said softly: "I came here to burn incense and hope you will work hard."

Teacher Liu took it upon himself to teach paleography to junior high school children. The textbook is "Zixue Mengqiu" written by Wang Jun in the Qing Dynasty. This book is very thin. Only then did I know that there is a book "Shuowen Jiezi" written by Xu Shen of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Teacher Liu said it was too deep for the child to read (even modern college students cannot read it), so he had to read "Character Learning Mengqiu".

At that time, I was just a kid in the class. I sat in the second row in front and didn’t dare not listen to the class honestly. I found this very interesting. It turns out that a Chinese character is like a machine that can be disassembled into two or three parts. The parts are assembled in different ways to create many different Chinese characters, just like a child playing with a jigsaw puzzle.

This is a thin book, and I read it through self-study during the summer vacation last year. From then on, it was sown in my heart, and after decades of germination, it turned into a shriveled fruit, a stick of incense in repayment to my teacher. "The Passion of the End of the Fire" is about me this time. There are many errors and omissions in the printed version. It is a pity that I have not had the opportunity to correct them. Therefore, I want to scan the original manuscript, photocopy it and publish it so that there will be no mistakes and less regrets. As an added benefit, the ancient text illustrations on the manuscript are embedded in the relevant text.

Baiyu Jiezi (printed version) leads us to review oracle bone inscriptions, seal script and bronze inscriptions, and explore the life scenes and vivid concepts of our ancestors behind the words. Let us see step by step how Chinese characters have changed from pictures to neat square characters. Why does the meaning of each word change so drastically. It turns out that the souls of our ancestors still live in the strokes of ancient characters.
