35. 晉 101000 火地-離坤 (Quarter 3-3)





康侯用錫馬蕃庶,晝日三接。-- 包覆迷彩偽裝或匿蹤塗料的外殼、像箭矢般的武裝偵察載人飛行器,採用金屬合金製成的機械戰馬或動力馬達推進的行動載具,外加傳播通訊裝置與遮蔽掩護的各式裝備和行動支援,我們在一個白晝中就接到多次前往火線戰地偵測的任務。能源動力技術的晉階發展,使得戰爭方式也明顯跟著改變。(P.S. 此處「康」字可能與 English 中的 camouflage 相通,類似迷彩、繁複、遮蔽、匿蹤、錯覺等偽裝隱匿技術之意。「侯」解爲「箭矢般的載人飛行器」。「錫」解爲「易質合成金屬」或「合金」。「蕃」解爲「傳播」。「庶」解爲「遮蔽」。「三」代表「多」。)


初六:晉如摧如,貞吉,罔孚裕,無咎。/ 變卦火雷噬嗑 -- 隨著能源技術和戰爭方式的晉級改變,大地如同著了火一般,戰場上的一切似乎都被摧毀了。偵測到的情報訊息都在連結著電訊網路系統的超大寬螢幕顯示器中呈現、景深充裕的浮顯出來,這有什麼好意外的呢?......在雷電般震撼的閃光和爆炸聲中,戰場上所有的東西都好像被大火吞噬了!

六二:晉如愁如,貞吉,受茲介福,于其王毌。/ 變卦火水未濟 -- 能源動力系統的不斷晉級,有如使大地逐漸燃燒起來,甚至讓人對氣候變遷和能源缺乏感到一愁莫展。偵測的結果是:利用可以轉換連續力為電流的強磁性物質作為輻射能源發電的媒介,就能建立供電效率更高的網路系統和慣性運轉的穩定電力。但是,如果未來不能維持導引大量的水流來持續冷卻這種發電裝置內部產生的火熱高溫,還是無濟於事啊!(P.S.此處修改一般坊間《易經》版本中可能誤傳的「母」為「毌」,以還原「毌」在此卦中的「慣性運轉」之意。此處「王」解爲「供電網路系統」。)

六三:眾允,悔無。/ 變卦火山旅 -- 輻射能源供電系統需要大量資金的投入,而且如果要得到大眾的認可和允許,還必須確保任何缺漏都不能發生,纔不會發生後悔莫及的意外事故。一旦發電機組發生破裂的災變,可能就像火山爆發出污染環境的氣體和落塵一般,災難風暴的衝擊將會飄洋過海、展開漫延甚廣的災難旅程啊!

九四:晉如鼫鼠,貞厲。/ 變卦山地剝 -- 在能源系統晉階發展之下,輻射能源驅動裝置也可能被運用在各種大型的移動載具上,這將使許多舟車如同攜帶傳染病毒的大鼠般到處橫行,一旦輻射能源發動機具發生爆炸或剝裂的事故,有毒的輻射物質便可能到處散播,那真是太危險了!

六五:悔亡,失得勿恤,往吉,無不利。/ 變卦天地否 -- 如果大家都不擔憂輻射物質造成傷亡而後悔莫及,又不計較投資的得失,那麼就去進行輻射能源發電場的研究設置吧!小心謹慎的進行、做好抗震阻震等防護措施,結果應該不會無利可圖的!但是,設置的地點可不能接近人口稠密的城市,最好是另謀一處偏僻的小天地啊!

上九:晉其角,維用伐邑。厲,吉,無咎,貞吝。/ 變卦雷地豫 -- 最後,晉階發展的大型輻射能源發電場被決定設置在濱海處安全的角落,離地架設在隔空防震的堅固平台上;一方面可以維持引用不虞潰乏的海水來冷卻發電機組運轉時內部產生的高溫,一方面可以讓供電網路沿著海岸線經由設置電力控制閥的通電管道連結幾個境內正在進行都市開發或都市更新的部份城市、提高供電效益。當輻射能源供電系統開始穩定運轉之時,有人仍然覺得危險不安,也有人開始高興歡喜,這有什麼好意外的呢?此時,最應該密切偵測的是強烈地震和其它意外災禍可能引起的大災難啊!(P.S.此處「伐」解爲控制或管理,相當於「閥」、valve。「邑」解爲「境內部份城市」或 part cities、伙合連結城市或經濟共同體「吝」解爲「密切」或「仔細」。)


"Sometimes the new generation was created by its progressively powerful generator which was related to new energy recourse and integrative advance in the technological invention."

"Actually the lyrics of this qua had obviously described the technological invention of nuclear power plant and its powerful impact in ancient humankind's civilization, and it's hexagram image '101000' was consisted as fire above the earth, that makes me feel a little uneasy........."





"At beginning, the original author of The I.E. Scripture noted that they served as the scouts in the battle fields. With the speedy stealth flying aircrafts under covered by the brushing paint of stealthily hidden technology, took some other alloy metal vehicles or mechanical war-horses which was fitted with powerful motors, they usually wore camouflage suits, carried accurate detectors and communicating equipments, and went to the war zone many times during a day for the missions of investigation."

"In the first yao, they described the big flames and flashing thunders were exploding and burning to destroy everything in the battle fields. The detectable information and the lively horrible scenes about the war zone were instantly shown on the big monitors or television-screens which connected with broadcast camera systems."

"The new generation war in this qua must be very shockable! That's why the title of this qua was called '晉', this word was just sounded like 'gen' and might have some other extending meanings about 'genera', 'general' and 'generation', even 'generator'."

"Yes! Due to the development of progressive energy technology, the great earth seemed to become hot like burning, and they kept searching more powerful radiation energy resources and higher magnetic materials as the medium of power to supply the generators for getting more stable and plenty electricity. They also mentioned that the new power generators must need mass flowing water to cool down its very hot temperature while it was working. These severe situations were noted in the second yao."

"In the third yao, the policy about the nuclear power plant seemed like be discussed in public congress, because of the large investment and consent from the citizens were indeed necessary. They also worried about if radiation materials leaked out from nuclear power plants in some kind of damage events, that might cause great amount disasters, just like the exploding volcano have mass destructing power."

"In the fourth yao, they kept discussing the questions about fitting the nuclear power generators in some other transporting tools which might involve very big vehicles and battleships, even submarines......, and also worried about those nuclear power moving tools just like some kind of the giant rats might carry dangerous virus or poison and travel to everywhere."

"Then, in the fifth yao and the last yao, they seemed like cautiously make a conclusion and decide to build the nuclear power plant above the ground at a small suburban corner near to the seaside and far away from the big cities, because of they could use the plenty sea water to cool down the fever aroused by the radiation reaction in nuclear power generator and easily supply the rich electricity to cover some renewed cities along the seashore in some parts of the country land.........And it might cost a great deal of investment and insurance while its related experiment and construction were continuely proceeding........"

"Finally, as the big dream of new generational generator coming true and stably working, many people were happy and glad to hear, but some people seemed like still feel uncomfortable and worry about its latent dangerousness.........."

"Wait a moment!....... Do you feel this Hanese word '晉' which involves a pair of horizontal parallel lines with small interval and a solar symbol '日' might have been symbolized some kind of the ancient solar energy power generator with solar panel system by its simplified word-pictogram?...... That might be their another choice for creating the sustainably electrical power!......"

"Actually, I had ever heard that the Solar......the Sun was just a very giant and powerful nuclear reactor!...... If they could find a high efficient method to use its energy, that would be a great advance......"


文明的發展和維持,依賴的是能源供給的穩定與人類社會的和平,最怕天災地變和不明原因的毀滅因素導致長久建立的文明成果突然間被夷為焦土、變成廢墟。也許,我們應該對曾經消失的遠古文明展開調查研究,明白它們覆滅或隱匿的主要原因,看看有什麼線索可以提供借鑒,避免將來走向相同的悲慘命運啊!


"In a sense, nuclear power plant might bring gigantically stable electricity power and support the peaceful humankind’s society toward more speedily developing era, but the worst concerns were how to prevent the civilizational great energy power system from damage and corruption which caused by the natural disasters and the other unknown ruining events."

"When the remarkably scientific technology was successfully created with the anxiety about its safety, we might wonder why many gorgeous ancient civilizations had been ruined or disappeared, if we could find the reasonable factors related with their lost, we might not go forward to the wrong destined ways as same as those lost civilizations......."

"That's why the next qua '明夷' was going to talk about trying to understand more mineral and unclear things, such like the business of archeology or scientific discovery. As matter of fact, the radiation technology could help archeologists to reveal more deeply buried and mineral objects under the grounds."

"Mine.......min-e.......'明夷' which sounded as 'ming-yi' in modern Chinese, this is another evidence that the original author of The I.E. Scripture might have been combined multiple languages in one text."

"I suspect the original author of The I.E. Scripture might wish someday and someone who recognizes the multiple languages will accurately decode the meanings about this mysterious scripture....... Especially someone who sensibly understands both of the alphabet words and pictogram words."

"Do you know there had been an empire called '晉朝' or Jin Dynasty in Hanese history, their emperor was just coming from a royal occupation which was skillful in handling and training saddle horses?...... During that time, these ancient people might get more powerfully transporting technology to expand their traveling trips. And then, followed the Jin Dynasty was just a long period of multiple languages times and mixed with some kind of chaotic situation."


"Yes, I know........... After those chaotic times, a very great empire which called '唐朝' or Tang Dynasty was built later, it was also the first dynasty in Hanese history, which formally sent emissary to the ancient India or Hindu for learning and translating some holy scriptures about Buddhism."


"西遊記...... Journey To The West, a famous classic novel written by 吳承恩 during the Ming Dynasty was just telling a mythological and funny legend about a Buddhist monk and translator 玄奘 who had been traveled to India during Tang Dynasty."


"I think that awesome novel's writer must have been made a bi-language pun joke about monk and monkey, because of he described that there were three fellows accompanied that famous monk 玄奘 to India, and one of them was called 孫悟空 who owned supernatural power and had ever been a beautiful Monkey King of a monkey kingdom in a mountain with flowers and fruits."


"I'm not surprised if concern the writer of Journey To The West was skillful in handling multiple languages, even English words....... Maybe the modern legend story of the science-fiction cinema King Kong was just inspired by the major character Monkey King - 孫悟空 from the first chapter in that old novel!"


"Actually, I doubt English might have a close relationship with ancient Hanese pictograms words which were created in the period of '殷商時代' or Yin-Shang Dynasty about three thousand more years ago. In language world, English is very young, but it came from Englics or Anglo-Saxon language, and Anglo-Saxons might be a lost tribe of the '殷商文明' or Yin-Shang Civilization."

"Some words in English still keep the original meanings of ancient oracle bone scripts's words in Yin-Shang Civilization, which were confused or lost in following Hanese texts later."

"Furthermore, 'angel' in English seems like '天使' in Hanese, and 'Angels' was their ancestor. The word 'Anglo' just came from 'Angels' and based from Englics in ancient English language -- Anglo-Saxon language. The 'angel' was normally described that they just looked like bird have two wings in European myths or legends. As a matter of fact, '殷商' or Yin-Shang people just had been selected the mystical bird to be their totem."

"That mystical bird was called '玄鳥' in ancient Hanese classical poetic scripture --'詩經', and sounded like 'hiânjiào' in Taiwanese, do you feel it's similar to 'angel' if we considered it is 'hi-ânjiào', might have the meaning about 'angel from the high sky'. In fact, some lyrics in that old poetic scripture told that mystical bird came from the sky and landed on earth, then born the Shang or Shong on the Yin-land or Eng-land."

【公元六世紀 Anglo-Saxon 盾牌鳥飾 -- An Anglo-Saxon shield ornament with bird sculpture during sixth century AD from the collection of the British Museum in London, English. (圖片採自網路)】


"Anglo-Saxons had been the tribe which traveled most distantly and migrated toward the very western terminal land near to the Atlanic Ocean during European Migration Period. They had the awesome character of adventurous and migrating abilities as same as the '殷商人' or Yin-Shang people."

"If concern the ancient Hanese language in the original Central Plain in China might sound more similar to East-Southern Chinese or Taiwanese language, then these two Hanese words '殷商' might be sounded more closely to Yin-Shong or Eng-Xong, is that more similar to Anglo-Saxon?"

"The vocal sounds about the words might be similar in different languages, but what about their meanings came from?...… What about Saxon?......"

"Some of the archeologists had been found that the word 'Saxon' might be based from a kind of Saxon-knife which was called 'Seax', if concerned that the ancient Hanese also had some kind of knife which was marked as '弋' and sounded like 'ea', could it enhance more possible about my exposition?"

"The other possibility is the 'Seax' might have been translated from a metal material's Hanese name '錫' which sounded like 'si' or 'xi', such material was normally used in the production of ancient knife for preventing the metal's oxidization...... History is always an enigma, because of going back to the past time-space is not easy, unless we get a time machine which is able to catch the information about the real history........."



One evening, I sat on the beach side by side with Mermaid E. for watching the sunset-scape. The colorful shining light of the sunset above the sea waves looked like the burning fire. 

If the end of an old generation just like the evening of the daytime, I thought the next morning might be the start of a new generation.........

謎情相思夢





水底隱隱約約的足印
那是曾經走過的痕跡
顆顆雨滴被溪流纏捲
次次挽留掙扎出命運

想像世界和真實傳奇
抽離思索總有不解之謎
暮光閃爍好像暗示秘密
懷疑是否還在夢裡

你夢見的我不是我
只在謎情裡遙想新天地
我夢見的你不是你 
輕如棉絮飄在風中來去

你夢見的我不是我
只在夜夢裡相思到天明
我夢見的你不是你 
一如窗花落在雨中甦醒


心底沉澱糢糊的相片
那是曾經粉碎的情緣
粒粒細沙被時間拼接
處處殘缺若水面浮萍

虛構故事和真實經歷
抽離生活總有不解之情
驚鴻一瞥彷彿牽引心悸
猶豫是否還可繼續

你夢見的我不是我
只在謎情裡遙想新天地
我夢見的你不是你 
輕如棉絮飄在風中來去

你夢見的我不是我
只在夜夢裡相思到天明
我夢見的你不是你 
一如窗花落在雨中甦醒

牽掛





是不是因為看的太遠
纔有了失望
是不是因為忘了祝福
纔有了牽掛

總想找個藉口合理化
填補心空窗
期待嬌陽停留在身旁
不再向前轉

太陽還會昇起來
天空還會明亮
太陽從來沒離開
只是追著星星和月亮

牽掛......................
是牽掛......................
因為牽掛..........................
是因為牽掛...................
是因為有牽掛..................
是因為有了牽掛............
....................................................


是不是因為想的太遠
纔有了盼望
是不是因為亂了方寸
纔潸然淚下

總想畫一幅最美的畫
畫你我夢想
把宇宙星辰都畫進去
不再有失望

宇宙還會再變化
星辰還會躲閃
宇宙從來不說話
只是充滿音符和牽掛

牽掛.....................
是牽掛.........................
因為牽掛.................
是因為牽掛..................
是因為有牽掛.................
是因為有了牽掛.........

微風之歌



微風可採否
信鴿知千秋
彎月嘻小月
明眸笑開顏

白紙摺雙月
抒情託月宮
嬌堂伴妙閣
二宇成一對


微風可採否
信鴿悉千里
此風拂此景
回眸難再敘

白紙摺風景
紓情移空皙
嬌風牽妙影
聯作一紙情

Winter Has A Music Box (冬天有個音樂盒)



The waves shoving ship on the sea
Pianist's fingers touching melody
Playing like a love messenger
Warming the shaken mind strings

Winter has a music box
Collects sounds of the dreamers' faiths
As the spring rain falling again
It will become a great star

Winter has a music box
The moon has a tears case
Winter has a music box
Deep sea has a dream case


The winds pushing ship from the sky
Singer's lips blowing melody
Singing like a love messenger
Warming the cold mind strings

Winter has a music box
Collects sounds of the lovers' feels
As the spring rain falling again
It will become a shining sun

Winter has a music box
The moon has a lighting case
Winter has a music box
Great sky has a dream case

Daniel 解夢檔案


在將近一年半的時間內,我藉著「夢的原理 -- The Elements of Dream」作為理論基礎,對自己作過的將近一百個夢境進行解讀,陸陸續續發現了不少合乎邏輯和互相連貫的心得,也對影響夢境的意識結構有了概括的定位。然而,新的夢境依然持續出現,其中不乏難以在短期內清楚解讀的內容,也使得這個解夢理論可能沒有真正可以總結和完成的一天。

雖然如此,我想理論只是思考的工具之一,本來就不是用來充當死硬的教條,而是作為探索和推理的參考架構。如果經驗和理論不能符合,或是理論本身龐大複雜到令人更加糊塗,那麼應該去修改的當然是理論,不太可能是經驗。

2007年5月開始,我以 Daniel 為名,嘗試在「YAHOO奇摩知識+」的問答交流平台為人解讀夢境,一方面是要印証長期以來自我建構的解夢理論是否有超出一己的說服力,一方面或許可以協助那些因為作了怪異的夢而感到困擾的人。簡單的說,問夢和解夢的過程,就是修身養性的一環,也是明心見智的一步。有夢也好、沒夢也好,平安自在、廣結善緣、生機無限就是人間最大的福報吧!

克之謎 - 吶喊的重量


,甲骨文似「小兒對天呼號狀」,可能因為弱小者受到強勢威脅而無力反抗,於是蜷縮身子並張口呼號求援或咒罵退敵。

具有「克」字特徵的符號與其它「刀」、「戈」、「力」等符號的組合如「剋」、「勀」等字,可能就是明顯表現出蜷縮者呼號的原因正是來自某種強勢威脅的武器或力量。

由於向上方呼號通常可以藉空氣流動傳聲之便傳遞較遠、召來注意和救援的機會也比較大,這可以解釋為何「克」字中張口的方向是朝向上方的。





【附圖:克字演化】


據此而言,「克」字的本意很可能接近 English 中的 curse,有呼號上帝降禍於...、爲難於...、詛咒、咒罵、咒語、罵人的話......等意思,後來也引申出克服、克制一類的含意,甚至被「五行生克學說」用來當作其中的術語。


納悶的是,English 中有「課程」意義的 course 發音幾乎接近 curse,似乎使人聯想到:古人在教導兒童時,是否可能把「面臨危險時必須大聲呼號求援」當作生活教育中的基礎求生課程呢?

「克」字之所以演化爲帶有「ㄦ」的符號,第一個可能是因為象形字本來已有弱小兒童的身形及蜷曲身體的狀態,第二個可能是與 curse 的捲舌音相互影響。

就筆者所知,周代春秋戰國時期漢字可能還保存著「克」字與 English 中 curse 之間的密切關聯,例如:《論語·憲問》中有所謂「克、伐、怨、尤不行焉,可以為仁矣。」ㄧ語,可能就是說「Curse (詛咒、咒罵)、Force (起音接近「伐」,意思是武力威脅或強行管制)、怨懟、詬病,都是不可行的呀!可以有所作為的只是推己及人和將心比心的仁道而已!」


由上述分析可知,「克」也可能衍生出「訊號足以清楚傳達至某處」的意思,所以又引申出與「可達、可及」、「足以、能夠」、「可以控制的安全範圍」等有關的意義。

從「可以控制」的延伸意義來看,「克」之所以也被當作度量衡中表示重量的小單位,可能不是沒有原因的。

此外,文字學中也有一種說法是:「克」是古代描述刻劃獸皮的意思,也可能代表古人雕花或紋身的精緻技藝。就此而言,「克」是否也有恰到好處的性質或契合、互補、just match、catch someone's mind 的意義呢?例如:「不克前往」就是因為赴約的時刻或地點恰好不對或不在可以調控的範圍。


值得一提的是,「克」之所以後來也被用來當作重量的小單位、相當於 English 中的 gram,除了上述帶有「可以控制」的特點之外,可能還有其它原因:從另一個觀點來看,甲骨文「克」字很像一個植物的小花杯,或是一種古代帶有提把的小型量杯,也就是和 English 的 cup 同義而且發音相近,皆以 k 聲起音,並且甲骨文「克」的確很像有個朝上開口的 C 或 U,裡面還有一條水平線,再加上下面有個很像 P 的符號呢!



【附圖:漢字「克」的甲骨文字體之一】


從上述「克」與 cup 相關的線索來看,似乎可以看出「克」字的含意又和 English 的 boycott 有關,就是也有所謂「杯葛」的意思,這也許正是來自象形字「克」原本可能的描述:弱小孩童在遇到危險時高聲呼號喊叫。


至於古代文本中的「克」字,實際上也有「求告上帝」或「向天求告」或「傳達清楚的訊息給天神或上帝」之意,可能與 English 的 curse 也帶有「向 God 呼號」的意思相似。古代的祭典可能沒那麼神秘,不過是聚集四方部落或諸侯一起参加的正式慶典或國際、州際、部落際等比較 inter... 的大型聚會,當然也可能包括各地宗教方面的交流,以及ㄧ起禱告上帝、求助於天神保庇的儀式,甚至衍生出 choral (讚美詩或聖詩) 的合唱頌讚。

例如:《詩經.大雅.桑柔》裡有「 后稷不克,上帝不臨。」ㄧ語,意思可能是「后稷不向天求告,上帝就不會降臨。」。

又例如:《書經.洪範》有「乃命卜筮,曰雨,曰霽,曰蒙,曰疫,曰驛,曰克,曰貞,曰悔,凡七。」ㄧ語,意思可能是說「於是任命辨別問題、研究預測的專門職務,約略表示:和風雨氣象的預測有關的雨師,和霜雪冰封之事的解凍有關的霽師,和蒙眛隱埋之事的考察有關的蒙師,和疫病防治的疫苗研製有關的疫師,和擇馬馴馬及旅程交通問題有關的驛師,和神誥活動或祈福儀式的主持安排有關的克師,和精確的觀察偵測有關的貞師,以及與其它內心感到晦暗不明或晦澀難懂之事有關的悔師,ㄧ般來說有這七種職務。」

從「克」字可能的意義來看,起初那位在甲骨文中可能曾經被欺壓的小孩,是否後來也成爲ㄧ位專門的「克師」呢?也許,直到今天,他呼號吶喊的聲音還迴盪在當時的現場、流傳在當今世界各地宗教領袖的心中呢!


曾經有一部電影,片名被譯爲「靈魂的重量」,English title 是「21 Grams」,也就是「21克」。 那麼,「吶喊的重量」又是幾克呢?





【附圖:「靈魂的重量」(21 Grams) 電影海報 (圖片採自網路)】


由於早期「克」字中也包含了古代表示計量數字「十」的符號,那麼當時一個「克」(gram) 是否等於十個 cup (小型量杯) 容納的水重呢?而當時一個 cup 的容積是否就是 0.1 立方公分或 0.1 毫升或 0.1 c.c.呢?

根據上述的數字關係,如果按照古人可能做過的計算,把小孩每次吶喊可能蒸發的口水重量算成 0.1 克,那麼一克重是否相當於十次小孩吶喊的重量呢?

進一步說,如果將吶喊的重量乘以某個加速度,會不會產生可觀的能量呢?有關聲波能量的研究探討是否早就存在於遠古的計量學中呢?

士之謎


許慎在《説文解字》中記載:「士,事也。數始於一,終於十。从一从十;孔子曰:推十合一爲士。」。這句話的意思可能是說:「士」就是處理所有的事務、從事整體的任務,也表示從數字一到數字十的全部,有總合、全體、團結爲一體的含意;而孔子也說,「士」就是把十個或許多推論歸納爲一個結論,同樣也有總合、總括、歸納爲一體的含意。

「士」、「事」發音相近,台閩語中的 dâijî 意思相當於「事」、台灣語音漢字通常把台閩語 dâijî 寫爲「代誌」,也說明了「士」與「事」、「志」、「誌」、「記」的關連性,而「事」字在古代正是有出使外地從事代理記錄及代理書記工作的性質。(P.S. 早期台閩語 dâijî 這個發音更可能是「大事」之意,因爲漢字「事」有某種口音的發音就近似台閩語「誌」。所以,如果台閩語的語音漢字「代誌」兩字不是「大事」的意思,那麼就可能純粹只是轉換自 thing 這類的拼音文字,即 thing = t合點人誌 =  t合丶亻誌 = 弋亻誌 = 代誌,其中 n 約略象徵漢字「人」的篆文字體而旁通漢文「亻」,則通過字母本音約略形聲台閩語之語音漢字「誌」的發音;或是 thing = T合弋聯誌 = 亻合弋聯誌 = 代誌。)

「士」、「師」發音相近,古代需要運用符號、圖形、文字來做事的人也稱「仕」,又稱「士人」,後世甚至和讀書人、取得入門資格或專門資格的基層官員或專業職稱被劃上等號,例如:士師、進士、士大夫(可能等同於 staff )、謀士、策士、方士、術士、巫士、修士、道士、俠士、騎士、衛士、護士、武士、戰士、士兵、士官、學士、碩士、博士、技術士、記帳士、傳教士......等。

由此可知,「士」是「志」、「誌」等字的組合符號中一個基本的符號,本來是作記號、號誌、標誌、記錄、sign.....等意思,甚至可能和 Greek 語言中的 sigma 相通,有總合、總括、團結爲一體等類似的意義。

「志」、「誌」與「士」的不同可能在於:「志」偏向默記在心中的方式,而不是有形塗寫的記號;「誌」是有關「志」的實質記載或訊息傳達;「士」則是在地上做記號的意思,也就是表達作記號這類意義的比較原始的符號,可能類似 English 中 sign 的意思,其漢字發音的 shì (北京話或台灣國語或華語) 或 sú (台閩語),甚至 English 中的 soldier 等等似乎也和 sign 有相近的來源。這可能也是爲何 English 中的 site 也帶有 sign 的相關性,因爲要調查和測量某處土地或基地,應該會作ㄧ些伴隨測量工作進行的標誌記號。

從「士」與「志」、「誌」兩字的關聯來看,「士」不但和遠征拓荒的士兵在荒野地址上做記號有關,也和行程記錄、工作雜記或雜誌彙編相關。凡是征必有址,也就是走到一個界線或邊境、境界,這可能就是所謂「踏上仕途」的真正意義。

因此,「士」又可能指一種探索或開墾邊境叢林荒野的先鋒部隊,而「士」字的象形字最初可能就是表示 signer、sight-man、surveyor、settler 或 soldier ㄧ類的團隊在某個地點或地上做出標誌或記號 (sign),並且當時那個記號的總括符號,其形狀可能就是「士」字中的那個「十」,而 English 中的 sign 其實也有「畫十字」的意思。


這就出現了一個千古大謎團:

1.「十字軍」竟然起源於殷商文明嗎?

2.「十字軍」最初成軍的目的是什麼?


第一、早期「殷」與「殹」意義可能很相近,據說是表示一種和針灸或醫檢有關的醫術,而且殷商文明在醫藥方面的發展也已經有相當規模。那麼,「士」會不會是醫療研究及救濟團隊的起源呢?無獨有偶的是,後世的「紅十字會」等類似的國際組織,也使用十字形作爲辨識的徽章符號。

第二、既然遠古殷商人在醫藥方面有十分發達的成果,醫療技術甚至可能是他們立國的根本。對於當時的國際社會來說,「士」更可能是醫療研究和急難救助的先頭部隊,也可能相當於當時的「國際紅十字會團體」,甚至可能發展爲世界上最早出現的「十字軍團」。

此外,殷商甲骨文中有一個很特別的「工十字形」符號,也就是「『十』的四端都各自連接一個短線」或「兩個『工』相互交叉的十字形」,有文字學家認爲那可能是「巫」的本字。但是,那個「工十字形」是否也可能代表「各門各類之士的全體」或「十字軍團的總合或其統領」,也是世界上最早出現的、最正牌的「十字軍團」的標誌或徽章呢?

【附圖:巫字演化】



從古代巫醫同源的說法來看,最早的「十字軍團」很可能就是生理與心理等醫事方面的總體研究和醫療救援團隊,甚至包括工程建設與土地探勘的專業建築團隊呢!

另ㄧ個和「士」有重要關係的字,也就是和「士」發音相近的「是」。因爲,「是」可能有「走向坦途」或「走向日出光明之地」的意思,也可能有 sure 或「確定」的意思,這也是 English 中的 survey 帶有 sure 的一半意義的原因。古代闢荊斬棘的「士」爲了 make sure 、確定一處可以定居的位址,可能必須做好基地測量調查的工作。可以想見,遠古的「士」常常肩負重任、帶著光明,把荊棘坎坷之地建設爲邁向坦途的文明根基。

綜合上述,在作爲古代事務職稱的總體概念時,最切合「士」的性質的ㄧ個字,也許應該是類似 English 的 trustee (複數 trustees 發音類似漢字古語「多士」),有受信任的人、受委託的人、受託執行或管理的人......等意思呢!
