Chapter 459 Science and literature do not conflict

After Zhuge Liang bowed to Li Su, he noticed that Miao Zhenren stood behind the side like a cold background board and hurriedly bowed.

However, Liu Miao calmly stopped him: "No need to be polite, you are just as big as the emperor... Liu Xie. Why, Miss Huang didn't come to your observatory today?"

She had almost blurted out the word "Emperor Brother", but she thought that since she was born, how could she still call her family with a kinship?

Zhuge Liang felt a little embarrassed when someone called the emperor's name, so he had to pretend not to notice it. He quickly replied:

"The weather is still cold, maybe it is not suitable for young and old to climb the mountain. The Huang family didn't ask me about it after the twelfth lunar month. I also observed the phases of the moon before the last time when the moon was almost full.

I deeply feel that the moon is just like a group of stars, just one of them, just circling around the earth. The so-called Toad Palace and the Eye are all false, so I want to take advantage of the Spring Festival to climb to the top to see clearly."

Here we must mention a well-known common sense: many literary monsters and monsters in later generations did not exist in the ancient times. They were all ghosts and gods fabricated the more later the dynasties. For example, the most typical character is that "Hongjun" is the first time a talent in the Ming Dynasty is fabricated. If you ask a person from the Song Dynasty, what is Hongjun, he will definitely think you are talking about an unknown object.

Fortunately, the Han people knew about the legend of "光" and the legend about the moon behind it. Just review it and see why there are two terms "光" and "Chang'e", and you will know that this thing must have appeared before Emperor Wen of Han Liu Heng, otherwise you would not have to change your name to avoid taboos at all.

Before Emperor Wen of Han, the Feng'e was actually called "Heng'e", and there was no homophone next to the character "Ne". In "Huainanzi", which was written later than Emperor Wen of Han, Liu An of Huainan was Liu Heng's nephew, and he used "Chang" for the first time. Later, the Western Han Dynasty was destroyed and the taboo efforts were slightly relaxed, so he created a "Qiang" with different homophones.

Zhuge Liang's answer could be seen that he was less than sixteen years old and was still very straight-hearted. As expected, the boys were still mature later than girls. Some girls came to ask him about borrowing the observatory, but he still focused on his interests and career.

I never thought about using this tool to do anything else, or asked actively, "Are you afraid of the cold? Can you go to the observatory to see the moon during the Spring Festival?"

Li Su saw all this and already knew what A Liang's mentality is now:

Humph, women will only affect my stargazing accuracy!

Li Su was here today, and she wanted to take advantage of the boring time of drinking and watching stars at night to talk to Zhuge Liang about the benefits of boats, improving hydraulic spinning machines and miniature wooden lathes. After all, in Li Su's eyes, how could you watch the stars and the moon all night? Are you so bored?

Now it seems that Zhuge Liang has a rare trip to Huashan. He is probably full of "experimental plans". Maybe he can really watch it all night.

Liu Miao asked the retired palace maid to make a cup of tea for Zhuge Liang. After chatting for a while, Li Su felt more and more that she should not ruin the scenery and destroy Aliang's flow state. Anyway, she was not in a hurry to do this few days.

In the future, when I go to the Western Regions, I sit in a caravan halfway, and I have time to think about those mundane things.

After visiting the Huashan Observatory, Li Su himself felt that his dirty and philanthropic soul was not so utilitarian for the time being.

Some atmospheres are really difficult to describe in words. It seems that when you reach a specific quiet environment, it is particularly suitable for practicing without distractions.

After drinking tea, Liu Miaoliu and everyone ate vegetarian dishes. The dishes were relatively simple. They said they were vegetarian dishes, but they were not completely prohibited from eating meat. They just said that they were local ingredients, so there were fewer meat dishes.

Vegetables are all wild vegetables, or retired palace maids grow them in the valley next to them, and they are irrigated by springs and streams flowing down the mountain. The wild animals are only small animals such as rabbits and deer. It is difficult to climb on Mount Hua, so it is better to be self-sufficient.

After eating vegetarian food, Liu Miao thoughtfully encouraged Li Su: "Don't talk about anything serious tonight, you can go and see the stars too."

Li Su was a little embarrassed: "You actually saw it. I wanted to catch Aliang and talk about something mundane. Forget it, let's talk about it on the way west."

Li Su took Zhuge Liang to the observatory. Liu Miao was not interested in it normally. Tonight, she also brought a few palace maids to the stage. Before going out, she also took a few fox fur coats to protect the cold and sheltered the wind, and divided Li Su one.

The moment Li Su got the fox fur, his heart felt warm and he couldn't help but feel a natural guilt. He was worried about his wife. Then he remembered that when he drove most of the servants down the mountain, he had already informed them to pick up Cai Yan and his maids halfway and return to Huayin County to spend the night.

"I just came to climb a mountain to cultivate my mind. I looked up at the universe and looked down at the popularity of the category. I can't do other despicable things tonight. This atmosphere is too inappropriate." Li Su secretly warned himself in his heart, entering a state of flow without a woman in his heart.

At the same time, he also felt the touch of this fox fur slightly moist, and a strange thing flashed in his heart.

It was a fur product that had been left for a long time but no one had worn it. After cleaning and scrubbing it temporarily, it didn't have time to completely dry it with the sun. Moreover, in order to prevent the leather from aging, this product would not be exposed directly to the sun.

In a nutshell, this dress must have been hung in Miaozhen Palace for a long time and no one has worn it. It was only in the past two days that I temporarily cleaned it. This also explains why the size fits well with Li Su's figure.

Alas, there are some things that you can't think about.

Fortunately, Aliang quickly helped him relieve his embarrassment, because as the sky was completely dark, the viewing of the moon became very clear. Although the local telescope in Zhuge Liang's hand was probably not as good as the magnification rate of the later generations of ** magnification, it was enough to look at the moon.

After all, people with good eyesight can see shadows and convexities on the moon with naked eyes. If you enlarge it eight times, you can roughly see that the crater is still possible.

With today's technical strength, it is already very good to be able to use crystal to polish an eight-fold mirror. In 1609, Galileo's first telescope was only a 32-fold mirror. It was 1,400 years later, which was already the technical level of the Age of Discovery in the late Renaissance.

Zhuge Liang looked at it for a while and exclaimed: "Master Li, this 'Osmanthus Tree in the Toad Palace' seems to be just a pit on the moon. I suspected that there was a pit last time, but it was not clear. But now it seems that the distribution of the second dark place is similar to what I saw before the beginning of winter, but the darkest part is offset.

This is obviously the pits and raised shadows. Because the angles of the moon phase and sunlight have changed, the shadows have turned. The darkest place is the pit shadow, and the darkest place is the pit body."

Li Su was very satisfied: "Yes, no matter what kind of angel or the osmanthus tree in the future, it will no longer exist. However, we must divide the problem into two sides. Although the things on the moon are gone, the literary artistic conception and the emotions placed by the world can exist independently."

After all, there is not even Tang poetry and Song lyrics yet, so it is not a good thing to let Zhuge Liang completely deconstruct those literary artistic conceptions too early.

Science belongs to science, literature belongs to literature. As long as literature does its own work well, don’t cross the boundaries, and don’t try to further package yourself into “natural philosophy”, Li Su should create an academic atmosphere where the two coexist.

Zhuge Liang is still too young and has made great achievements in some aspects. If no one helps him step on the brakes and introduces more perspectives, he will easily fall into the information cocoon and go all the way to the dark. So Li Su still needs to remind him occasionally to suppress his bias.

Zhuge Liang was indeed a little confused for a while, mainly because his body was too young and he did not have the need for literary romance. Even if a girl came to take advantage of the observatory, he would have no woman in his heart to watch the star.

As for Li Su's words, he could only remember first, warn himself, and then use other books he had read to explain. Who made him have an amazing reading volume in the past year and a half?

Li Su struck while the iron was hot and said: "The world has various states, although they are interested in giving up all kinds of different things, and are quiet and restless. When they are happy about what they encounter, they are temporarily self-sufficient, and then they are the same. Everyone's perspective can be properly respected, and it may not be necessary for the world to interpret it from your objective and most correct perspective. You can seek common ground while reserving differences, and grasp the big and let go of the small.

However, in this world, there are very few scientific ideas that can appear at the moment, and people who search for chapters, sentences, and writing and writing have a lot of them. Then let them leave them to history for testing. Although there are few scientific ideas, as long as they are correct, they are all good words and can naturally be passed down in the world.

Literary murmurs may be full of superstition, but as long as those superstitions are absurd and vulgar, they will be absurd and vulgar in the past few decades, and the generation who blindly believe will die or more fallacies appear, no one will remember them. What can be left behind is the common beliefs and cultural symbols of the nation and humanities.

Why do you have to be a false life and death? Qi Pengshang is a rash act, and force them to destroy things that seem to be outdated when they appear. As long as they are dross, history will destroy them."

Li Su's words have fully explained the relationship between science and culture tolerance and humanistic care. It depends on Zhuge Liang's understanding.

It is not that the world has astrophysics, which reveals that the moon is a pit of pockmarks. Literature cannot write "Guihua and flowing tiles", nor that they cannot rely on "when will the bright moon come to the moon, and they can share the beauty of the moon from thousands of miles away."

After all, Zhuge Liang was also a great writer in history. He felt that a flame of literary art was ignited by Li Su, and suddenly felt that his vision was even more esoteric.

He made a year and a half of Lingtai Order, and judged what works should be promoted and what are not worth it for a year and a half of the world. In fact, even without Zhuge Liang to do it, history will make a choice, leaving the easiest to spread the most valuable things, and gradually obliterating the dirty and backward things in the long river of history. Zhuge Liang was just accelerating historical choices, not replacing historical choices.

Liu Miao listened quietly beside him. At first, he heard Zhuge Liang completely breaking the beautiful intentions such as "Changong Gong'e" with unrefutable objective facts, and he was also angry. Later, after listening to Li Suzhizhong's open-minded explanation and was full of humanistic care, he felt warm in his heart.

"Brother Boya is more dignified than Aliang, and his height is completely different. But it may also be that Aliang is too young." Liu Miao thought to himself, and wanted to pester Li Su to write some poem about quietness and inaction.

"Brother Li, since it makes sense, why not write poems and chant them with the argument of mind and things. The level of understanding of those words just now is more profound than that of younger sister, a practitioner."

Li Su smiled awkwardly: "What's there to write about this?"

Liu Miao insisted: "That's different. If you say so much, you have to prove that you are consistent with your heart. Otherwise, after you know the natural truth of the moon phase, your thoughts will collapse and your sustenance will disappear. You can't even do it yourself. How can you persuade people to embrace and tolerate that "science" and humanities?"

Li Su was helpless and couldn't write it out. Well, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Li Su himself actually felt embarrassed. Fortunately, the mysterious conversation was that everyone was not accurate in speaking like Wushi, so it didn't matter. As long as others didn't write down the full text, if you want to spread it, you must go back and modify it slowly.

Zhuge Liang was in high spirits and looked at it all night before he was willing to go back to rest. Li Su told him for a while and asked him to prepare after returning to Chang'an. After Chun Nuan, he would go to the Western Regions to inspect. Of course, Zhuge Liang would not refuse and was quite excited.
