Among the seventy-two sages of Confucius, Gong Yechang was not a particularly noticeable one. In the Tang Dynasty, he was posthumously named Ju Bo, and in the Song Dynasty, he was named Gaomi Marquis to worship Confucius. Although the Taizu of this dynasty was
They were relatively cautious when conferring sages, and at one time even Lao Zhuang, Mo, and others among the hundreds of schools of thought were offered sacrifices. However, after Taizong, Lao, Zhuang, Mo, and other sages were worshiped separately, and Gongye became Gongye's son.
And this man's greatest ability, besides being able to understand the language of animals, was his lifelong pursuit of scholarship and never served as an official in the princes. Hundreds of years later, the famous Taishi Company's Ma Qian also used the epithet "Zichang".
As for how many people have had such a nickname in the long history, it is even more countless.
The word "Yuanhe", as explained by Ge Yong, is also simple, easy to understand and catchy.
No matter which word it was, it all vaguely pointed to the word longevity in Zhang Shou's name. However, after reciting these two words over and over again, Zhang Shou finally raised his head and looked at Ge Yong, and calmly refused: "These two words
Both names are very good, but they are not suitable for me. Teacher, I seem to be a gentleman, but I am actually very stubborn. It seems that I don’t want to be successful, but in fact I have my own ideals."
"I seek stability, not radicality, but I am definitely not seeking compliance. I just don't offend others if they don't offend me. I only seek peace of mind, not approval from others, but if people like Lu Sanlang and Zhang Chen agree with me,
If there are ignorant children like the third prince and the fourth prince who trust me, then I will not be afraid of trouble and will do my best to protect them from wind and rain."
"My father and mother, who I have never met, gave me the word "longevity". I do hope to live a long life and be with my relatives and friends for a long time, but this is not the most important thing. I am not afraid that if I am strong, I will break easily, and I am not afraid either.
Although I don’t seek to leave my name in history, I have a clear conscience and try my best to leave my mark when I come to this world. Whether the world approves or slanders it, does it have any business with me?"
When Ge Yong was young, he was a handsome man who was sought after by countless women, with fluttering sleeves and unparalleled beauty. Even though he was older, he was still a handsome old man that Zhu Ying admired very much when he saw him.
Although he has a high self-esteem, compared with Zhang Shou's current power, he still has to feel that Zhang Shou is stronger than he was back then in terms of appearance and demeanor, the momentum of his official career, and his achievements in arithmetic.
However, when he was young, he had a violent temper that could explode at the slightest moment, so the only thing he was not satisfied with was Zhang Shou's gentle and gentle character.
But now that Zhang Shou said it was none of my business, he was so happy that his eyebrows lit up. Instead of being angry, he patted Zhang Shou vigorously on the shoulder and shouted happily: "Okay, I was afraid that you would be beaten all day long.
People are called Bamboo Gentlemen, so they become lukewarm and lose their enterprising spirit."
"It's true that parents want their children and grandchildren to have a long and prosperous life, but it's boring to become a coward in order to seek a long and prosperous life!"
After he finished speaking, he didn't even look at Zhang Shou's astonished expression. He paced back and forth a few steps and said in a deep voice: "The bright sky is shining brightly in the daytime, and the spiritual scenery is shining in China. In the purple palace of the houses, the flying sky is as bright as the sky."
Yunfu. In the high gate of E'e, all the princes and princes are kind. Since I am not a dragon climber, why do I come to swim? I was pulled out of the door by brown, and I chased Xu You with high steps. I shook my clothes on thousands of hills and washed my feet for thousands of miles.'"
"Zuo Si's poem about history, I liked it very much when I was young. At that time, I just felt that people of different ways did not work together, so I just walked away and lived in seclusion in the mountains. While you are still alive, there is no need to force yourself to be successful! Wait until you see Su Dongpo's sentence
After Yan Yu Ren was born, he was even more astonished. But it was only in the past few years that I realized why Zuo Si and Su Dongpo could leave eternal literary names."
"Although my career has had some twists and turns, both Yingzong and Ruizong are considered to be rare wise masters. Even though I have made enemies on all sides because of my personality, I have always been well protected by them. Since I have never been demoted or
If you feel resentful after being idle but have to force yourself to be open-minded in order to feel at ease, you will not be able to write the kind of poems that have been passed down through the ages."
"If you look at my poems that have been circulated in the world, you will find that they are all stable and prosperous, in the style of a prosperous age. It can be written about the atmosphere of wealth. No matter how good it is, can it be better than 'the moon melts in the pear blossom courtyard, and the breeze is gentle in the catkin pond'?"
I can only write something like "Sheng Cha Zi", 'I hope to achieve meritorious service first, and then see the king's face'. But even so, I think in my life, I have never been the same!"
Having said this, Ge Yong turned around and looked directly at Zhang Shou, with a relaxed expression on his face.
"I am neither a great scholar nor a famous official. To be honest, I am probably the most proficient in arithmetic among the ministers of this dynasty, and I am the most accomplished official among those who are proficient in arithmetic. As for the Qi Yuan and the third
The past shines brightly into the present, haha, that is a blessing from my ancestors, and the court just hopes to set an example."
"So, I am very selective in accepting students. I don't like those guys who pretend to be gentlemen, and I don't like guys who are full of benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust. You have good aptitude in mathematics and you still don't forget to enlighten others in a small village. I can't bear it.
Now that I have accepted you, I hope I can think of the most appropriate one for you even with this name. The two names just mentioned are indeed good, but as you said, they are not suitable for you."
Grand Master Ge looked at Zhang Shou with sharp eyes and said word by word: "I plan to give you nine chapters of cousinship. Zhang Shou, do you think you can afford it?"
Zhang Shou was stunned for a moment. Among the ten books on arithmetic, "Nine Chapters on Arithmetic" has always been hailed as the most important one. Until later generations, various papers often extracted materials from it as examination questions.
In addition to "Nine Chapters on Arithmetic", Qu Yuan's "Nine Chapters" is also a famous chapter that has been passed down through the ages. And apart from the second Nine Chapters, the emperor's crown clothes are still embroidered with Nine Chapters, and even the most popular in the imperial court
The important military flag also has nine chapters.
If these two words were used as a nickname for himself, it would be just so-so, but as a nickname...his teacher is really not afraid of people talking behind his back!
However, thinking about the two neutral and peaceful words just now, and then thinking about these two meaningful words at this time, he finally couldn't help laughing: "Since the teacher dares to give me such a word, how can I say "care"?
Can't afford it?"
"Haha, okay, I saw you right!"
Ge Yong suddenly beamed, not to mention the joy. He looked up at the almost renovated building, and said in a deep voice: "The late Fengzhi doctor and Yiren, and your son Zhang Shouye have grown up, now I give him a gift
There are nine chapters in the table. I hope he is as fearless as Qu Zi and can push the sutra calculation handed down to this day to a new peak."
"Nine is the ultimate number. It has the same meaning as the word "shou", and the word "zhang" has the same pronunciation as the surname Zhang. I hope that your spirits in heaven can bless this good son of yours to carry on the sage's unique knowledge and create peace for all generations."
Seeing that Ge Yong raised his hand and bowed solemnly to the door, Zhang Shou was stunned for a while and couldn't help but be extremely moved. Even though the couple he had never met before were still alive, they were actually Ge Yong's juniors in age, just like him.
Now, just like the Wu family who was overjoyed when they saw Ge Yong, they would probably also show respect to the well-known Mrs. Ge.
But now they are the deceased, and Ge Yong's courtesy is a courtesy from the living to the deceased, not a courtesy from a teacher to the students' parents. Therefore, after Ge Yong saluted, he also bowed solemnly, without any etiquette in the past.
perfunctory.
After all, the widow Zhang inside essentially gave him a second chance in life, while Ge Yong gave him the hardest background - compared to the future son-in-law of the Duke of Zhao,
His status as a close disciple of the Imperial Master really provided him with endless help when he first arrived in the capital.
Not to mention, Ge Yong also blocked a lot of doubts for him. For this reason alone, it is difficult to find such a teacher even with a lantern.
Ge Yong accepted Zhang Shou's return greeting, then stepped forward to help him up, but he held Zhang Shou's shoulders and pressed hard, and then said with a complicated expression: "You have a cousin, from now on
, I should call you Jiuzhang. You were born in a poor family, but by chance, you got involved in the biggest dispute seventeen years ago, and you became associated with the Duke of Zhao and the royal family."
"I don't know how many times your life experience has been checked by others. It's clean and spotless. So even if no Yingying likes you, based on your qualifications and talents, I am willing to accept you as a disciple. As for the others, I, Ge Yong
I don’t care! Among my other students, they were all in their twenties or thirties when they were admitted. Which one of them is not an art teacher?"
"What's more, you are not preaching those pretentious things, but you have truly brought arithmetic that is more systematic and step-by-step than the nine chapters of arithmetic. I, the teacher, have published a lot of books thanks to you.
As a result, whenever I see Mr. Chu now, he ridicules me and calls me a polite thief who steals students' works."
Zhang Shou suddenly felt ashamed. He thought again and again, and finally said in a low voice: "Actually, when I was lecturing in the Imperial College that day, I mentioned Euclid and Aristotle, two great mathematicians in the West 1,780 years ago.
Among them, Euclid once wrote a work called "Elements of Geometry", and many of the definitions in the teacher's "New Edition of Arithmetic" came from this..."
"Oh?" Ge Yong smiled, no longer mocking Zhang Shoushi, but now he kept saying that the new compilation of arithmetic was his. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Then go back and bring me the "Elements of Geometry"
Take a look?"
Zhang Shou was just giving Ge Yong a vaccination - after all, even if the butterfly wings flap, depending on the pervasiveness of Western missionaries, there may have been missionaries who have read the Elements of Geometry and arrived in the Ming Dynasty with the merchant ships. These people are now language
No idea, but God knows how long it will take those missionaries who are proficient in multiple languages to learn Chinese?
The most important thing is that the symbol system he used in the new edition of Gurdjieff's arithmetic is completely the Arabic numeral and Latin symbol system that has been promoted since the reign of Taizu. The missionaries may not be able to understand Chinese, but they can understand those calculations.
I can definitely understand it. Although these missionaries were very quiet in the Ming Dynasty, he still had to prepare for a rainy day.
But now Ge Yong asked him for "Elements of Geometry"... Where could he find it for this old master? The real original version of "Elements of Geometry" has long been lost, and the book that was reprinted in later generations is definitely not the same
Most people will read it, because compared to systematic mathematics textbooks, this thing is just like "Nine Chapters on Arithmetic", and most people will just flip through it.
What's more, he actually only turned over a little bit... Of course, at that time, it was just to brag in front of annoying people, and it was only after talking about it that the people were stunned and walked away...
Therefore, Zhang Shou could only bite the bullet and whispered: "I just read it once, and I can't remember many of the contents clearly. As for the book, I don't have it at hand. If the teacher wants to read it, he should probably ask the treaty ports such as Tianjin and Guangzhou to pay attention
But do foreign monks, those Westerners who believe in religion and preach, carry it? The original Greek version of that book should be called "Σtoixe?a"."
Seeing that his very non-standard Greek pronunciation made Ge Yong frown, Zhang Shou changed his words and said: "It is said that the Huihui people used in the Yuan Dynasty also translated this book, called "The Algorithm of Four Seasons". In total,
Fifteen volumes, but it is difficult to say whether it is really a translation of this book. After all, the world was in chaos at that time, and these things may have been lost..."
Before he could finish his words, Ge Yong slapped his hands cheerfully and said, "That will save trouble! Before Emperor Taizu conquered Dadu of the Yuan Dynasty, which is now the capital, he sent people to sneak into the palace early in order to preserve the library.
.The Yuan Shu in the current Gujintongji library is very complete. Since there is such a name, I will ask someone to check it later... No, I will check it myself!"
Seeing Ge Yong say these words, he turned around and left happily. Zhang Shou couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.
There is a saying that a lie requires countless lies to complete it. English is still a small language these days, and even French is not very popular. Even Spain is still far away from becoming the first empire on which the sun never sets. Latin is
The common language of all missionaries and nobles these days. Therefore, hundreds of years after the Elements were translated into Arabic, they were translated into Latin texts.
The problem is that when the Latin Elements of Geometry were presented to him, he could probably understand at most some of the calculations, but he couldn't understand the rest!
I just hope that some of the information found by later generations in order to bluff people will really work. At least if the "Algorithm of Four Seasons" is found in the ancient and modern collection library, and if it is the translation of the Elements of Geometry, Ge Yong probably will not find it.
I won’t let the original version go!
Since Teacher Ge left on his own, Zhang Shou sent Ah Liu to Zhao Guogong's Mansion to tell Zhu Ying about Ge Yongqi's cousin. As a result, when Wu returned to Zhang Yuan, she was naturally extremely happy.
.And Young Master Jiang, who happened to have just returned to the gate of Zhangyuan, took the opportunity to come forward and greet Wu. After finding out the whole story, he complimented her repeatedly.
Living in Zhangyuan, he didn't get the advantage of being close to the water, first come first served, but Young Master Jiang had always shown a very graceful attitude. Today was his first congratulation, and Mrs. Wu was very pleased with him. He was only ten years older than Young Master Jiang.
At the age of 30, she naturally showed the caring attitude of an elder and said a few words of concern. When Young Master Jiang mentioned textiles in front of her, she laughed on a whim.
She said casually: "I heard Ah Shou say that although today's new looms are fast, they are still not as fast as the spinning speed. I have seen water power grinding in the countryside before, and I thought that if water power is used, it can
Can’t we also promote weaving?”
When Mrs. Wu took Mr. Jiang to the study to meet Zhang Shou and mentioned the matter, Zhang Shou immediately put his hand on his forehead. His fiancée Zhu Ying was already thinking about building a team and team. His always honest and kind mother, even more
