Chapter 1205 Child

Here is a calendar case.

Zhou Cong's ancestor was another astrological master during the reign of Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, and his second Sitian Supervisor Zhou Keming.

Zhou Keming can be said to be a versatile talent in various knowledge of Si Tianjian. Historian of the Song Dynasty recorded that "the law, the heavenly officials, the five elements, prophecies and divination, the three styles, the wind and clouds, and the tortoise divination books are all based on the key points."

Moreover, he "really cultivated words and liked to collect books. At the beginning of Jingde, he once presented ten volumes of his writings, summoned the examination for the Secretariat, and was given the title of Jinshi."

At that time, a big star appeared in the west of Di, and no one could tell. Some people said that the demon star of the king of the country was a sign of bad military force.

Zhou Keming was sent to the Lingbing Bureau at that time. After returning, he asked to check it out and pointed out that according to the records of "Astronomy Records" and "Jingzhou Zhan", the name of this star should be Zhou Bo. Its color is yellow and its magnificent light. The great prosperity of the country you see is a virtue star.

On the way, he heard that people from China and abroad were quite confused. He obviously made a mistake and asked to tell the facts to the ministers and the people, and to give the civil and military celebrations to peace of mind.

Taizu was very happy and immediately followed his request. He was appointed as the crown prince Xima, the chief minister of the hall, both of whom were Hanlin Astronomy and the power to judge the supervisor.

Because he had a very comprehensive understanding of the information, he had to refer to his opinions whenever the historical study was part of the astronomical calendar.

The five dynasties and ten countries changed like a lantern, and the official history was a mess, let alone the astronomical and calendar phenomena.

Zhou Keming visited the elders, collected steles and records, and referred to the records of the books. He wrote them carefully and recorded more than ten volumes, but died before the book was completed.

Later, Zhou Cong inherited his ancestor's ambitions. When Tianshengchu was completed, he proposed that after the completion of the "Chongtian Li", he did not experience the truth and had not been completed, so he asked to verify it.

Afterwards, many problems were found and modified data of individual rates were proposed.

Later, he presided over the casting of the ecliptic armpit sphere, improved the omission engraving method, and revised the size of the guitar. He presided over the formulation of the "Ming Tian Calendar", and introduced the "meaning example", the concept of symbolic representation, for the first time.

After completing his career, he was promoted to an official position.

During the Huangyou period, Zhou Cong was in charge of re-testing the twenty-eight constellations and the Zhoutian stars. Based on the results of this measurement, he compiled the degree and extreme of the incoming and departure of 345 star officials and stars, and drew the star table of the Northern Song Dynasty.

However, in the third year of Xining, "Tomorrow Calendar" made a huge mistake - a lunar eclipse that year was inconsistent with "Tomorrow Calendar"!

The old man was relocated to the office and retired early.

This problem has become the old man's heart disease.

After Su You judged Si Tianjian, he came to visit him in person and handed over the more accurate star chart and accurate solar year calculation data of Tianshi Mansion to the old man. After everyone recalculated the calendar together, the old man contributed his family's collection of books and together with Wei Pu, he transformed the "Fengyuan Calendar".

After the "Fengyuan Calendar" was created, the old man took on the verification work and confirmed the reliability of the "Fengyuan Calendar" by verifying and reviewing the materials of the previous generation.

The new version of "Fengyuan Calendar" completely solved the problem that calendars of all dynasties could not stand the test of time. At the same time, it surpassed the formerly leading Liao Kingdom in calendar theory, and established the Song Dynasty as the leader in astronomy in one fell swoop.

Su You once reported this to Zhao Xu, but Wei Pu was blind. Zhou Cong retired due to his previous record. Zhao Xu took credit for political reasons and in order to ensure the gloriousness of the Song Dynasty calendar, he put the credit on Su You. The two were only listed on the list of commendation attendants.

It has been a long time since the matter has passed, and with the name of retirement wages, Chen Zhaoming asked to restore the old man's reputation.

Zhao Xu was very excited today and agreed to such a reasonable small request casually.

After inspecting and chatting all the way, everyone accompanied Zhao Xu and came to the observatory.

The Observatory is a huge and magnificent building, fifteen feet high, located directly north of the Imperial City Zichen Hall, and now on the Benchu ​​Meridian.

This is a three-story building with steel and concrete. The first floor is the archives and information room and the staff office. The second floor is the place where various instruments are stored, mainly calculation instruments. The famous large-scale instrument of the Song Dynasty - the Sun and Moon Five Stars Derivatization Meter, is stored here.

Nowadays, the five-star divination meter does not need to be hidden. There is a satellite moon outside the earth, and it is no longer the pointer that used to indicate the moon phase.

The changes in the moon phase were displayed on the moon by gears.

The third floor is the observation stage. Here are large observation instruments, the gaze stage built by Su Song, the clock built by Su You, as well as a large reflective mirror, an armillary sphere, a Jiheng Fuchen instrument, a divine instrument, an ecliptic theodolite, a horizon theodolite, and an equatorial theodolite.

Curtains were also pulled up in the open space, tables, chairs and stoves were placed. It was a rare winter sunny day, and this was the attitude of having a family dinner.

The style of Fuguo Duke.

The huge astronomical instruments bring great shock to people. In Zhao Xu's eyes, these things are at the level of immortal treasures.

Zhao Xu was a little angry when he looked at the huge objective lens of the Peeping Mirror. He said to Wang Yanbi with a small work robe and a small cloth hat: "You can make up such a big thing. Look, the small chair is not as naughty as you two. How about it? I've been suffering a lot in the past few months?"

This is Zhao Xu who put himself in. The two little ones said that not only did not feel the hardship but also felt very fun and interesting.

The little chair next to me is so angry. My math is better than my two brothers, but they used this method to deceive the reward arranged by my mother. It was so treacherous!

Su Xiaomei’s “reward” is the one with the best math among all children. She can enter Sitianjian to be a small assistant for the elders. In the past, this business was basically monopolized by the small chairs, so there are two more.

However, now Bian Gu and Wang Yanbi dare not express their true thoughts. They looked like a decent baby who had changed his past and nodded there.

A little girl who was snuggling next to her younger sister attracted Zhao Xu's attention. Zhao Xu whispered to Su You: "This is the young girl of the Bi Zhongyan family, right? It's true that Lingxiu is only three years old because my family owns her son, otherwise I wouldn't agree to this."

Su You sneered in his heart, "If you think of this, the Bi family may not agree, and said, "Guan'er comes here and see Your Majesty."

The younger sister led Guan'er over to greet Zhao Xu. Guan'er had an extra pendant on her body and a big bead hairpin on her head. It was obviously the lottery ticket that she had just obtained from Queen Xiang and Concubine Zhu.

Zhao Xu really didn't dare to take the children's knowledge here, and he was a little afraid of being slapped in the face.

So I wanted to pick up soft persimmons and deliberately put on a gentle look: "I heard that Duke Fu gave you all the loan card from Kezhentang? Then you have to learn more from your brothers, and strive to become a person like Su Shanchang in the future."

Guan'er was stunned. The wife of Shu and Su Shanchang told themselves not to learn from Brother Bian Gu and Brother Yan Bi, saying that they were bad role models, but why did they change to His Majesty?

I thought for a moment: "Brother Bian Gu and Brother Yan Bi are both very good at sports, so Guan'er must learn more from them."

"Uh...this..."

"I have read the borrowing records of Kezhentang's first-level book loan card. I ranked 26th. A few days ago, I met the 25th Bachelor Sima who ranked 24th. He also encouraged me to surpass him as soon as possible, but the brother Binguan is only ranked 32nd, and brother Yanbi is ranked 34th."

Zhao Xu felt that he was about to get out of talk this day, but he didn't expect that the little girl was paying attention to these things.

Sima Guang's amount was terrifying, but he had been out for too long, so the borrowing record must have stopped there.

Unexpectedly, the academic tycoon never forgot to borrow from Kezhentang for the short time he entered Beijing.

What I didn’t expect was that this little girl was only three months old and her size was so terrifying.

Actually, I also have that card, and the number is still the number one, but the number of borrowed views is definitely the last thirty-six.

Hmm, Zhao Xu encouraged Guan'er awkwardly, and after sending him away, he whispered to Su You: "I took back what I said just now. This kid will be enough for your flat pot in the future..."

Then he greeted him again: "Wet nurse."
