Chapter 104 Opinions on the Object of Investigation
Rong Cheng made the calendar, and Da Ru made the Jiazi. Both of them were ministers of the Yellow Emperor.
Since the time of the Yellow Emperor, Jiazi has been used to record the days, and every sixty days is one week. Da Nao uses the emotions of the five elements and is built by douji. It begins with A and B to name the day, which is called Qian; Zichou is named after the month, which is called Qian.
For branches, if something happens to the sky, the sun is used, and if something happens to the earth, the moon is used. There are differences between yin and yang, so there are branches named.
The original Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches were not as complicated as later ones. They were only used as an aid to the calendar. Uncle Xi circled the sundial several times and saw that there were simple Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches engraved on it, but they were very different from those in the Central Plains.
This is so accurate.
Uncle Xi's pseudonym is Yang Ji, and he appears as an old friend of Dayi. In fact, he is indeed an old friend of Dayi. However, we have not met much in recent years. He was once a minister of the emperor in the same palace, so there is still some friendship.
"This is"
Uncle Xi glanced at the busy Chifang clan members beside him and asked Dayi seriously: "Did their witch do this alone?"
The two of them had gone aside to whisper.
Dayi: "Relying on the Yellow Emperor's calendar."
Uncle Xi: "This is not possible. Making a new calendar."
"How is this impossible!"
Dayi suddenly laughed: "The emperor asked Xihe to set the time for all parts of the world. The world is huge, and the mountains and seas are far away. As for the calendar, Fuxi was empty-handed in the past. Didn't he make the calendar near Leize? Shao
Which one of them, Hao or Zhuanxu, has never made a calendar?"
"Even the small tribes in Dongyi and the distant people near Zhongshan in the north also have their own set of calendars. Although they are rough and cannot be compared with the Yellow Emperor's calendar, everything in the world has evolved from roughness.
become complicated.”
After thinking about what Dayi said for a while, Uncle Xi slowly nodded.
There is indeed some truth.
The calendar only requires long-term observation, and the wisdom of witches and part of their memory and knowledge can be passed on. Maybe the previous generations of witches of the Akafang family were so tired that they went to look at the stars and the sun when they had nothing to do. The calendar is
Just make things comfortable for yourself.
"But this thing that measures the time in a day has never been seen in the Central Plains."
Uncle Xi praised: "This thing is much easier to use than Tugui."
His eyes moved to Dayi's head, and after careful consideration, he said to Dayi: "This bird is"
"Just a little chicken."
This is how Yi responded.
Uncle Xi narrowed his eyes and looked at Guzi. The more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed, but he really couldn't remember what it was.
There are many birds that look alike in the world, but this one still looks a little different from a chicken.
"Hmm, are you perverted?"
Guzi: "Chi!"
Uncle Xi: "Yes, it is indeed a chicken. Dasheng, what are you doing here? Why are you raising chickens for others?"
Now the image of Dayi is really no different from that of the old farmers in the Central Plains. He is wearing dragging shoes and straw sandals, and the straw sandals have a hole in them.
Of course, Dayi said that he was definitely not here for a vacation. He said that there were still golden crows left in the south and he came here to find them. Uncle Xi was surprised by this.
However, Dayi was very ambiguous on this matter.
"Besides that, I'm here to do one more thing."
Dayi talked about the investigation. Although it was just a whim and he thought it could be recommended, Uncle Xi did not immediately express his opinion after hearing it. Dayi also said that the Chifang clan was weak and he happened to pass by to save them. He was temporarily there.
Help here.
"So that's it."
Uncle Xi nodded: "However, with an instrument that measures time, I'm afraid I won't be able to get your recommendation."
"Is the emperor looking for a successor?"
Dayi: "Yes, there is someone who has caught his eye. He heard about it a year or two ago, so he should go and investigate now."
"who?"
"A man named Chonghua."
Dayi said: "I heard that the child came from Dongyi. He was born in Zhufeng and moved to Fuxia. Is this child?"
Dayi gave Uncle Xi a brief summary of Chonghua's life. It was also very simple. He fished in Leize, farmed in Lishan, made beautiful pottery by the Yellow River, and also ran a small business in Shouqiu.
Of course, this is a simple and concise statement. Of course, what Dayi knew was more than just this.
"He fished in Leize and taught people how to make efficient fishing nets and fish fences. He farmed in Lishan and taught people how to choose the right time to plant and organize seedlings. He made pottery by the Yellow River, where the pottery was not originally
Well, he stayed for a while and taught the people there how to make better-looking and stronger pottery. People who did business with him in Shouqiu said that although he was good at calculation, he was also very honest.
's children."
"His filial piety and virtue are known in the East."
After Uncle Xi heard this, he was silent for a short time.
Dayi stopped talking, but Uncle Xi took two steps and said to Dayi: "Who recommended him?"
Uncle Xi sighed: "Is there anything else to say? You don't need to investigate!"
Dayi laughed out loud: "I'm not done yet, why are you pouring cold water on me?"
Uncle Xi said: "For those recommended by the Siyue clan, this isn't the end yet? Although your words carry a lot of weight, they can't be compared to the Siyue clan, right?"
Dayi: "Then why not ask Xihe to be a guarantor with me?"
Uncle Xi waved his hands repeatedly: "I can't do it, I can't do it! My status is far inferior to that of the Siyue clan! Dayi, if you have some ability, you can talk to the Sihuang kings. If they agree, then this matter will be done.
Already."
Dayi laughed out loud: "Where are you talking about this? King of the Four Wildernesses, where do I have the time to go find them?"
The Rixia clan is in the east, the Guzhu clan is in the north, the Beihu clan is in the south, and the Xiwangmu clan is in the west.
This is a country far away in all directions, and its leader is called "King".
"Then go find the Four Emperors."
Uncle Xi considered it and said: "Although the emperor is already dissatisfied with the power of the four emperors, if the four emperors speak, the emperor will still consider it."
Dayi waved his hand: "Sooner or later the Four Emperors will be dealt with."
The four emperors were Dihong, Jinyun, Zhuanxu and Shaohao.
Uncle Xi was slightly startled, and Dayi looked at him seriously: "It will happen sooner or later."
"You might as well wait. I believe that if you stay here for a while, something unexpected will happen."
When Dayi gave his advice, Uncle Xi looked at his slippers strangely.
"Something novel like a sundial?"
Uncle Xi touched the stone plate, and Dayi said to him: "This stone plate is just one of them. Trust me, you will see more interesting things."
Uncle Xi thought about it for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I also want to meet this wizard. It seems that he is indeed extraordinary?"
