2023-08-22

Not many people need to learn, but there is always someone who needs to learn. "Li Youxi fell in love with the Oracle Bone Inscription major at first sight, and after graduation, he still persisted in this" rare skill "and became a short video blogger for Oracle Bone Inscription science popularization. What is the use of learning oracle bone inscriptions? In fact, out of approximately 4500 oracle bone inscriptions that have been discovered in China, nearly two-thirds still cannot be deciphered. The Museum of Chinese Characters has offered a heavy reward of up to 100000 yuan per character to decipherers. The decipherers of ancient Chinese characters have become the "hard to find" talents in the market. There are also some students studying traditional and unpopular majors in the job market who are unexpectedly favored and have become "hot cakes". At the special job fair for graduates majoring in Home Economics held by Hebei Normal University this year, 36 units from Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei provided a total of over 750 job positions, with 28.8 times the number of new graduates majoring in Home Economics. At the School of Materials at Shanghai University of Electrical Engineering, most graduates majoring in welding hold multiple offers. Talking about love alone is not enough to become a truly needed professional and technical talent. With a bachelor's degree in Chinese language and literature, Li Youxi learned for the first time how each character was created in the course of ancient Chinese. She was immediately attracted, "there will be a curiosity to know what each character initially looked like. With great interest, Li Youxi chose to pursue a master's degree in oracle bone inscriptions. Unexpectedly, this major is both difficult and unpopular. She told reporters, "At the beginning, I didn't even know 'characters'. A beginner's book may only be able to read one page in half a day, and even if I understand the characters, I don't know what it means to be connected together." During her graduate studies, Li Youxi spent almost every day studying in the library. "Even writing his graduation thesis was a process of learning and doing research. Having worked for an internet company and picked up his Oracle major again, Li Youxi still wants to "plunge into" his beloved field. Chinese characters themselves are also a part of our culture, with great cultural value behind them. "Many people felt the charm of traditional Chinese culture under Li Youxi's explanation. Li Youxi believes that "learning oracle bone inscriptions is like solving a case. A history of ancient Chinese characters is a history of ancient Chinese science, technology, and culture, and there is too much to explore. Is learning ancient script really unemployment upon graduation? "She answered the question that everyone is concerned about in her short video, Although the pressure of competition is not as high as that of popular majors, it is true that salaries are generally low, mainly due to love. Young people are starting to choose majors and careers based on their own interests, and once unpopular majors have become popular. According to a report released by the Examination and Evaluation Center of Beijing Normal University, the top three majors that students are most interested in in humanities are history, cultural relics and museum studies, and archaeology. Just talking about love is not enough
