Chapter 1636 How can you look at the sky while sitting in a well?
Jia Xu took off his crown, flicked the dust off it casually, and then put it back on his head. If he hadn't known that Li Ru was so clean, he would have been too lazy to do this.
Can Hexi without wind and sand still be called the Hexi Corridor?
Jia Xu said that he was used to it. Since there is wind and sand, it will still be blown to pieces later, so what's the point of playing it now?
Li Ru was still wrapped in fur, with a thin face.
"This..." Jia Xu circled around Li Ru twice, looked left and right, shook his head and sighed, "...Senior brother, your body..."
"Ahem, don't worry..." Li Ru coughed twice, "I won't die for a while... How's it going in Guanzhong?"
"Guanzhong..." Jia Xu laughed and said while helping Li Ru forward, "It's okay... these guys are so honest that they don't even dare to fart..."
Li Ru also smiled, and the two of them entered the meeting hall and sat down.
Li Ru and Jia Xu were actually not very fond of the nobles in Guanzhong. They believed that these guys were no longer worthy of the name Guanzhong. They were just like domestic dogs that had been domesticated and lost their bloodiness to fight in the wild.
Of course, what Li Ru is worried about is not the Guanzhong gentry. They have lost their wild domestic dog. If it eats vegetables, it can only eat vegetables. If it eats shit, it can only eat shit. It doesn't matter.
Li Ru was more concerned about whether Fei Qian would stay in Guanzhong, and then he would stay there, and then unknowingly, he would gradually lose the courage to move forward...
Just like Dong Zhuo back then.
Jia Xu casually glanced at the book spread out on Li Ru's desk. It was obvious that Li Ru was reading it, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "The theory of latent husbands?"
Li Ru nodded, pointed at the scroll, and said, "What do you think of this book?"
"Qianfu Lun" was written by Wang Fu of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Most of its contents are political articles discussing the art of governing the country and bringing peace to the people. It covers a wide range of topics and basically covers everything. It makes extensive and sharp criticisms of the court in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, believing that the Eastern Han Dynasty was already in the "
"Amidst the decline of the times", he quoted scriptures and used historical lessons to admonish the rulers...
"The book is indeed a good book, but..." Jia Xu sneered, shook his head and said, "Sitting in a well and observing the heavens, how can we understand it?"
Li Ru laughed twice, but seemed to be choked by his breath. He couldn't help coughing twice before saying: "... That's true... But has Wen He ever thought about why people sitting in wells look at the sky?
?”
"Isn't it because..." Jia Xu subconsciously wanted to answer, but stopped mid-sentence and looked at Li Ru with a strange look on his face, "Senior brother, you mean..."
Li Ru waved his hand and did not answer.
The two of them were silent for a while.
Wang Fu was the son of a concubine and had no relatives in his uncle's family, so he was discriminated against in his hometown. He was also unscrupulous and did not ask for introductions, so he was not promoted in the officialdom. So he became angry and lived in seclusion and wrote books. He stayed out of office all his life. He ridiculed the gains and losses of current affairs.
Because he "didn't want his name to appear in the chapter", he titled his book "The Theory of Qianfu".
Okay, here comes the question, who is Wang Fu's "hidden husband" talking about? Naturally, he is said to be a dormant husband himself, so is he willing to "hidden", or is he forced to "hidden"?
Therefore, Wang Fu will not be an official for the rest of his life.
Li Ru pondered for a long time and then said slowly: "After Guangwu, we just stuck to Shandong and never made any progress. Why? It must be understood that the strategy of abandoning the West is not a day's cold, sitting on the wall of a well, nor a day's work.
…”
"In terms of national strength, at the beginning of Guangwu and Mingzhang's rule, it was not inferior to that of Wen and Jing. In terms of generals, Dou Po Shao was in charge, and the group controlled the Western Regions, and it was not inferior to Wei Huo's talents. However, there is "
"Liangdu" came out! The master of the Eastern Capital sighed and said, it is painful to change the customs. He is a native of Qin, he boasts about his palaces, protects the borders, rivers and mountains, his faith and knowledge are clear, and he knows the first emperor, and he sees the clouds of the Han Dynasty.
Why?'" Li Ru sighed.
What is "Liangdu Fu"? It was written by Ban Chao's brother, Ban Gu. Of course, it was said to be written under orders... And what's even more ironic is that Ban Chao worked hard on his mission to the Western Regions, and Ban Gu easily wrote "Liangdu Fu" in the rear.
"Liangdu Fu", and then obliterated a series of Ban Chao's efforts and efforts...
If there is no game between the court and the court, who would believe it? There is no entanglement between families, do you believe it? There are no various issues of profit distribution, do you believe it?
Was Emperor Guangwu just content with settling in Luoyang?
Obviously not necessarily. At that time, Guangwu also lamented that his country was not vast enough. However, Taifu Deng Yu said, "Those who prospered in the ancient times depended on their virtues, not their size." In addition, the world was initially settled, people's minds were stable, and there were Shandong nobles.
relationship, so in the end Guangwu did not move again.
However, people are greedy, lazy and slanderous, so they feel too comfortable in one place and don't want to move. Guangwu did not make this determination. Although Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty had this wish, Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty wiped out this wish.
Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty was already the third generation of emperors. He had grown up in a comfortable environment since he was a child. How could he understand Guangwu's last wish?
The high wall is built like this, and the people in the middle gradually transform into frogs.
"There are also disciples in Guanzhong who don't understand the ambition of the Hussar, and many of their words talk about isolating the barbarians and specializing in the Central Plains... Those who are obsessed with outsiders must first be content with the inside..." Jia Xu also laughed, and then said, "I don't know.
How can there be any order of succession in the internal and external peace of Tao? There are disputes internally and enemies externally, so when will the time come to an end? If we do not take advantage of the prosperity of the military to open up the frontier, will we have to wait until the day of decline for others to come and open up the territory?
Is it soil? The response of Guangwu and the failure of Mingzhang are all like this..."
"Nowadays, the Xiongnu are invading, the Xianbei are fighting, and the Western Qiang are scattered. Why is it so wonderful?" Jia Xu continued, "The Hussar has a deep heart, and it is naturally difficult for ordinary people to look up to him... Nowadays, the Hussar has a high status, and it is inevitable that there will be many
If some of Deng and Cui’s disciples are involved, if that’s why...so, senior brother’s worries are not unreasonable..."
Jia Xu suddenly laughed twice, raised his eyebrows, and said, "How about..."
Li Ru cast his eyes on "The Theory of Hidden Husbands" on the desk, pondered for a long time, slowly shook his head and said, "It's not the right time..."
Jia Xu rolled her eyes. Okay, the topic you brought up is now told to me that it's not time yet. You are the senior brother, you are the boss, you have the final say...
"But we can make some preparations..." Li Ru suddenly changed the topic.
Jia Xu burst out laughing immediately, "You know it!"
Li Ru smiled slightly, ignored Jia Xu, stroked his gray beard, but looked into the distance...
...Here is the dividing line for jumping...
Fei Qian, who was still in Guanzhong, naturally didn't know what kind of chemical reaction would happen if Li Ru and Jia Xu bumped into each other. Fei Qian was now happy for Xu Yue's arrival.
Xu Yue came all the way this time, and what he brought with him was the fresh calendar made by his master Liu Hong...
Some people think that the calendar does not matter. After all, it is not about fighting and killing, and it is not interesting at all. But in fact, the calendar has a very important position in the history of China, and even in the advancement of civilization in the entire society.
Fei Qian knows that, generally speaking, the entire world is three and a half dimensional. Of course, someone like Fei Qian should be four dimensional. Although this statement may not be completely accurate, it can also explain some problems.
Only when we understand time and space can the flowers of civilization bloom more brightly.
People formed the concept of "day" based on the phenomenon of the alternation of day and night; the concept of "month" was formed based on the waxing and waning of the moon; and the concept of "year" was formed based on the phenomenon of the alternation of four seasons. But the problem is, these three
Between the concepts, no one pays attention to the other, they all play their own roles.
The calendar is to put these three awkward guys into a relatively regular framework, so that there are integer months in a year and integer days in a month, which facilitates human beings' overall concept of time.
cognition.
Does the complexity of the calendar issue all lie in the two relatively large cycles of the tropical year and the synodic month? It is really too fragmented. The relationship between these two guys and the "sun" even reaches several decimal places.
It's not as clear as the palm to the elbow, so the calendar always looks at one thing and misses the other, and can't coordinate the year, month and day cycles at the same time...
In ancient times, China used the Yellow Emperor calendar, which means that the heavenly stems are assigned to the earthly branches, and then the four seasons are determined. Although it is relatively rough, it also laid the foundation for the Chinese calendar, and even part of the content has been used until later generations. Taoism also uses
The Era of the Yellow Emperor is the first year of Kaiyuan, which is 2,697 years earlier than the Era of Jesus in the West...
Later, after the Warring States Period, the Qin Dynasty unified the world and implemented the Zhuanxu calendar used by the Qin Dynasty. Later, at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the twenty-four solar terms were added to the calendar for the first time, allowing the people to understand seasonal changes more clearly, and called it the Taichu calendar.
Later, there were three unified calendars and four-point calendars, and the four-point calendar started in the second year of Yuanhe and has been used until now.
Because the month and year always deviate from the day, one or two years doesn't matter, ten or eight years is fine, but one hundred or two hundred years, the accumulated gap is very obvious. It's like a four-point calendar.
In fact, it is very accurate. It is stipulated that a year is 365 days and a quarter. However, because of the slight difference, and because the delay of the moon's transformation was not taken into account when dealing with the moon phases, it has been over a hundred years.
After that, some problems arose, both in terms of the twenty-four solar terms and the delay in the movement of the moon.
"...Therefore, we use five hundred and eighty-nine as the discipline and one hundred and forty-five as the fighting method to achieve this..." Xu Yue said slowly, Fei Qian could hear every word clearly, but they were all
I don’t understand, “I also restrained Chi Ji and marched on the moon, and then arrived at the fourth quarter of Taichu…acting at the intersection of Huang and Bai, retreating to the west…”
Xu Yue told the story for a long time. When he saw Fei Qian, one of his eyeballs almost fell to the ground and one of his eyeballs flew into the sky. He couldn't help but sigh, stopped and stopped talking.
"This...hehe..." Fei Qian was a little embarrassed.
Xu Yue touched his beard and hesitated to speak. Back then, Liu Hong also had many praises for Fei Qian in front of Xu Yue, saying that Fei Qian was good at mathematics and understood things well. He was a rare person who mastered advanced calendar calculations.
Talent, and now it seems...
"This... I have a question. Should the acquaintance between Huang and Bai start with Luo or Jidu..." A sudden question couldn't help but attract the attention of Xu Yue and Fei Qian. They looked back.
It was actually Kan Ze who said it on the side. (Notes on this chapter)
Xu Yue was about to answer when he suddenly realized what he was doing. He couldn't help but widen his eyes. He looked Kan Ze up and down again and said, "Since you know yellow and white, do you know how to measure the moon's passage?"
Kan Ze glanced at Fei Qian and said cautiously: "This... I also know that it is also mentioned in Liu Gong's scroll..."
Xu Yue was stunned for a moment, glanced at Kan Ze, then at Fei Qian, and then at Kan Ze. He burst into laughter, waved to Kan Ze and said, "Sure enough, it's all determined! It's determined! Haha, hahaha...
...Come, come here, let me tell you..."
Xu Yue smiled and took out the wooden tablet pen knife he carried with him. Regardless of what was written on the wooden tablet before, he scraped it away, and then started writing and explaining to Kan Ze again. Suddenly,
The big one and the small one gathered together, leaving Fei Qian aside.
"this……"
Xu Yuezheng was talking happily and ignored Fei Qian.
"that……"
Kan Ze was listening intently and did not hear Fei Qian's words.
Feiqian(?_?);
Okay, okay, you two have a chat for a while, and I’ll come back later...
Fei Qian had no choice but to sneak out of the side hall quietly with his hands behind his back...
"Lord, this calendar..." Huang Xu hurriedly followed. Regarding the calendar, he was even worse than Fei Qian, and he was even less clear about what he was talking about.
Fei Qian looked back at Xu Yue and Kan Ze, who were still having a heated discussion, and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand this, but... this calendar is not for you and me, nor is it for
It was determined by the sons of the noble clan... This calendar was made for the sake of farming and mulberry trees, and it was made for the sake of the world..."
Before the Taichu Calendar, all farmers in the world needed the guidance of old farmers for farming, and when and what to do. The three elders in the countryside had a very strong weight. After the Taichu Calendar was promulgated, many farmers could do their farming according to the twenty-four solar terms.
As you judge the timing of farming by yourself, the weight of the three elders will gradually decrease until now, it is almost dispensable, and not every township and county must establish it.
The calendar is equivalent to a bright light that illuminates the way for farmers in the illiterate world and tells these people what they should do each month. This is a great time tool for both rulers and ordinary working people.
Fei Qian was relatively familiar with the Gregorian calendar because of his later generations, but he basically had no idea about the original Chinese calendar system. In addition, with a deeper understanding of the current social conditions of the Han Dynasty, he understood better that for a farmer and a peasant woman,
The Gregorian calendar of later generations is actually of no use, and it is impossible to remember the thirty-first month, the thirty-first month, and the twenty-eight and twenty-nine days. Farmers and women cannot recognize a few big characters, and they can't even count them.
You may not be able to count them clearly with ten fingers, let alone a water leakage timer. This most cumbersome thing is still only available in wealthy families.
For most farmers and women, the only way to judge the time, besides the length of the sun, is the waxing and waning of the moon in the sky. Therefore, an accurate 24 solar terms and an accurate synodic calendar can
It is naturally more direct and effective than the Gregorian calendar.
Because the four-point calendar has been implemented for more than a hundred years, there has now been a large deviation between the twenty-four solar terms and the lunar calendar. Xu Yue came with the latest calendar, which undoubtedly gave Fei Qian the current agricultural development.
Production brings the latest time tools, which is also of great benefit to the development of agriculture as a whole.
"This calendar is of great use..." Fei Qian looked back, then turned back to Huang Xu and said, "Have someone hurry up and invite Zijing... Just say that a valuable treasure has arrived..."
