02
In 2023, archaeologists discovered this magical vial in Peiligang Village, Xinzheng, Henan Province.
It's amazing.
Because its base is pointed.
Have you ever seen a bottle with a pointed bottom in real life?
I bet you absolutely not.
If you don't believe me, take a look at the mall, supermarket, or search the Internet to see if you can find a bottle.
To be honest, any manufacturer that really wants to produce drinks and bottles with pointed bottoms will definitely be scolded and shut down.
Because there's no way to stand up like this.
So, what's going on with this pointed bottom bottle?
03
According to Xinhua News Agency, the vial was found in a tomb and placed on the head of the deceased. It is more than 10 centimeters long and very small.
If you think about it, it's the size of a small gourd.
That's right, it looks like this, and if you look at its bottom, it's as sharp as an awl. Awl face is popular now, and awl flasks are popular then?
Do you think you can put it up standing up?
Unless there's a base, or it's stuck right in the dirt.
The question is, what exactly is this vial for, and why is it pointed?
According to Li Yongqiang, an associate researcher at the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences:
The newly discovered small-mouth pointed bottom bottle is preliminarily speculated to be about 7,700 years old, combined with the previously discovered Pei Ligang ancestors have learned to use Monascus to ferment and make wine, the newly discovered small mouth pointed bottom bottle may be the container used by Pei Ligang ancestors to "make koji".
Yes, it's actually a sake brewer.
But don't just think of it as an artifact from 7,700 years ago, it's even more amazing in that more than 12 million people are now directly related to it.
So, who exactly is directly related to it?
Most likely,
Of the more than 12 million people, you may well be one of them.

This needs to start with a text.
The word is "unitary".
Don't look at what it looks like now, but it looks like this in oracle bone inscriptions and gold inscriptions:
Oracle "unitary"
Oracle "unitary"
What do you think?
Shocked, right?
That's right, unitary is a pointed bottom bottle.
From a philological point of view, unitary is wine, and only three points of water are added later.
Let's look at the second text: lay.
Don't look at Dian now, but it looks like this in the oracle bone inscription and the gold inscription:
Oracle "Lay"
Oracle "Lay"
That's right, laying is to add a horizontal under the unitary.
Let's look at the third word: Zheng.
Don't look at Zheng like this now, but it used to look like this:
That's right, Zheng, in fact, it is Dian + Yi.
What is Eup?
Eup, which means city now.
Therefore, Zheng is Dian Yi, Dian Cheng.
04
To sum up: the pointed bottom bottle is the unitary, the addition of a horizontal under the unitary is the lay, and the addition of a yi is Zheng.
What do you think of when you see Zheng?
Zhengzhou, South Zheng, Xinzheng, there was a Zheng State in the Spring and Autumn Period.
In addition, there are now more than 12 million people surnamed Zheng.
That's right, this magic vial from 7,700 years ago is related to these more than 12 million people surnamed Zheng.
Moreover, each of the more than 12 million people with the surname "Zheng" carries a magical vial.
The more than 12 million vials in the surname Zheng are all from that magical vial 7,700 years ago.
How's it going?
Chinese characters are really broad and profound!!
