Section 7 Study Adventures
Originally, I wanted to choose the night of the auspicious day of the zodiac with a dark wind and a high wind, no fingers in sight, black and dark, and a cloudy wind roaring. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info scoundrel time is not waiting for me, time is running out, things are imminent, so I have to be not so poor and exquisite, just pick a day, and set off tonight. This is a moonlit night, staggered, the beautiful palace group is under a round of yellow and clear big and round bright moon, the beauty is like the Guidian Lan Palace, the eaves of the temple that bend upwards reflect the inky blue sky, outline a very beautiful silhouette, like a beautiful postcard. The silver moonlight swayed recklessly on the warm white marble ground, like silver-white flowing water flowing everywhere, the lake light shimmered like a shimmering light to the point of light, beautiful, like a fairyland, the thin layer of milky white night fog shrouded in the palace like a mirage as ethereal, really hazy moon, hazy birds.
Although I didn't have anything else to gain in the Imperial Dining Room, it was useful to be able to accurately time the squires were on patrol. I was dressed in white, sneaky, sneaky, floating left and right, like a ghost in the deep palace jumping up and down. I didn't dare to breathe, carefully pad my toes, like dancing ballet, tiptoeing on the smooth white marble ground, the palace was empty, except for the attendants, everyone else was immersed in sweet dreams, but it made me feel a little scared, for fear of meeting those appalling legends of the Forbidden City, what palace maids wearing red and green, what weird deep wells in the palace, what sharp long nails of the fallen nobles, and strange shadows on the walls of the Forbidden City - hey, I don't want to, I shudder to think about it.
This palace is really too big, three floors inside, three layers outside, I am dizzy, plus I am a southerner, the sense of direction is not strong, I can't tell what is southeast and northwest, although I know that the imperial study is in the general direction, but I have never been there, there is no way, I can only try my luck, I really can't do it today, I can only come again tomorrow. My heart was pounding, and I was about to jump out of my nervousness, like a thief, but if I think about it, going to someone to get something from someone without their permission is no different from being a thief.
As soon as I thought of this, I became even more timid in my heart, for fear of being caught, a sword and sword shadow are naturally indispensable, and the key is that it will be difficult to protect my life at that time. I don't want to think so much, I can only bite the bullet and run around. After skillfully dodging several groups of guards, I finally saw a magnificent hall. I didn't expect to look a step away, close to the palace, actually walked for so long, take a closer look, I saw the red vermilion lacquer door at the top of the hanging black gold silk nanmu plaque, a few dragons flying phoenix dance big characters of the imperial study presented there, really make me overjoyed, good guys, so beautiful calligraphy, this plaque can be brought back to the modern society can also be priceless, today is really red luck, I finally found the imperial study, it is really difficult to start everything, it is really a good opening, thank God, today all this is so smooth.
At this time, it is ten points of the third watch, and the palace is very quiet, God help me, and I will definitely be victorious tonight. It's here, it seems that I'm lucky Ziyue, but the blind cat ran into a dead mouse and ran into it randomly. I hurried over the high threshold and leaped in, ready to rummage aimlessly to find it.
Wow, I looked around carefully, this is the study, or the storeroom, it's so high, it's so grandiose, it's magnificent, it's so empty-eyed, it's completely comparable to the elegant temple of Athens. Such solemnity, such a noble atmosphere, I was deeply shocked, the huge study seemed so empty, reflecting that I was so small.
I saw Qin bricks and Han tiles, purple pillars and golden beams, and they were extremely luxurious. The interior of the temple is painted with colorful decorations. The throne and screen are inside, and there are smokers, incense pavilions, and candlesticks on both sides, which are indescribably luxurious and indescribably rich. Those palace pillars are huge round pillars, the two pillars are connected with a finely carved whole dragon, the dragon head sticks out of the eaves, the dragon tail goes straight into the hall, the head and tail look at each other, look forward to the gods, the practicality and decoration are perfectly combined as a whole, increase the imperial spirit of the palace. The pillar of the hall body is square, there is the head of the spitting water under the pillar, and the top cover is inlaid with gold and cut edges with green glazed tiles. The main hall is composed of hundreds of hundred-year-old nanmu as the main body, the two sides are towering dragon golden laurel trees, the carved white marble railing pedestal, the pink wall is blue tile, and the carved beams are painted. There are a number of huge bright moon beads hanging on the top of the treasure in the hall, shining brightly, like the bright moon, bright as day. The two dragons on the cornices were glittering with golden light, vivid and lifelike. Looking down at the ground, it is also a white jade paved on the ground, warm and moist like jade, embedded with gold beads, chiseled for the lotus, it can really be described as a step-by-step lotus, crystal clear, the petals are fresh and exquisite, the stamens are delicate and recognizable, it can really be described as ingenuity, lifelike, take a closer look, it is carefully carved with Lantian jade, it is really priceless, I can't wait to take the axe immediately, knock down a few pieces of jade and take it home, and I can make a fortune immediately.
However, I didn't have time to appreciate it carefully, so I hurriedly went straight to the direction of the bookshelf. This bookshelf is also tall and magnificent, magnificent, antique, carved with fine nanmu. There are so many books here, countless, as vast as smoke and clouds, dense, really hard to find, really worthy of the ocean of books, and all with gold scrolls attached to the cover, magnificent, luxurious. I took a closer look, and there were still rules to follow in these books, and they were all placed one by one according to the order of the strokes of the books. It's easy to find now, I'll find it according to the map. I didn't expect that there was a Song Dynasty mathematician Qin Jiushao's "Nine Chapters of Mathematics", he proposed the "Great Derivation Technique", and created the "simultaneous one-time congruence" solution, which was 500 years earlier than the related research of European mathematicians Jura and Gauss, and the "Origin Diagram of the Open Square Method" is a triangular number table, which is actually a coefficient table of the binomial theorem with exponents as positive integers, which is about 400 years earlier than the similar achievements of Al Cassie in the West, and is called the Jia Xian triangle in the history of mathematics (because it appears in Yang Hui's book, also known as Yang Hui triangle). There is another book, "The Method of Multiplication and Multiplication" (the "Method of Increasing and Multiplicating" by the mathematician Jia Xian of the Song Dynasty was proposed 800 years earlier than Rooney in Italy and Horner in England)
I secretly thought to myself: "I didn't expect Song Renzong to be a diligent and funny, good boy who loves mathematics, these mathematics are so difficult, he is full of interest, and he can participate in the Olympiad class, I didn't expect that this emperor is not easy, not only to learn Chinese studies, but also to learn mathematics, and my country is also a big country in mathematics, and all discoveries are so many years earlier than foreign countries." ”
I continued to search quickly, and there was also the "Twelve Qi Calendar" (the Northern Song Dynasty scientist Shen Kuo rebuilt the calendar and proposed a new calendar for comparative science, that is, replacing the lunar calendar with the "Twelve Qi Calendar", which was more than 900 years earlier than the calendar developed by the British astronomer Shaunaper similar to the "Twelve Qi Calendar"). "Anatomical Preservation of True Pictures" (Yang Jie, a famous physician and poet in the Song Dynasty, summarized the experience of dissecting the executed prisoners and depicted them into an atlas, which deepened the understanding of anatomy among medical students at that time. "Bronze Acupuncture and Moxibustion Illustrated Scripture" is the Northern Song Dynasty medical scientist Wang Wei made a significant contribution to acupuncture and moxibustion, he studied the works of his predecessors, combined with his own experience, detailed the location of the meridian acupoints, compiled, he was ordered to cast two bronze figures for acupuncture and moxibustion on this basis, which is extremely convenient for the teaching, clinical and examination of acupuncture and moxibustion. )
But after looking for a long time, I still didn't find it, I was sweating profusely, but there was nothing I could do, and I collapsed on the wide throne next to me. I suddenly looked up, my big eyes couldn't help but flash the light of the calcium carbide, it turned out that a blue thread-bound book "Analects" on the black desktop was impressive, I hurriedly picked up the book with trembling hands, opened the cover, and finally found the note inside, it was lying there quietly intact, waiting for my arrival. It really didn't take much effort to get it. I followed the vine again, found the secret compartment in the imperial study, and successfully got the things inside, it was really smooth sailing.
I could have gone home, but when I looked around, I felt like my head was dizzy, it was so big that it was endless, and I was about to lose my way and get out of nowhere. The most important thing is that in the morning light of the bright moonlight, the study seems not to mention how magnificent, just busy looking for things, I didn't have time to take a closer look, wow, those thick carved dragon and phoenix pillars in front of me are about hundreds of years old wood, so thick, has exceeded the size of the bathtub, it is estimated that even five adults can not be embraced, I don't know if there are still such large towering trees in the dense tropical rainforest? I touched the east and west, not to mention the splendor, there are all kinds of meticulous carved dragons and phoenixes, lifelike, there are many famous artists of all kinds of colorful portraits on the wall, it is really too exquisite, too magnificent. I feel that the glorious history here is hundreds of times, thousands of times more beautiful than what I see in the book, and I stop and go, and I really can't return here.
I looked around again, wow, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, everything is available, all of them are priceless treasures. There are also paintings, calligraphy, sculptures, inscriptions, ceramics, embroidery, gemstones, pearls, jade, coral, clocks, antiques, gold and silver utensils, etc., there are all kinds of dazzling, everything. After all, the Great Song Dynasty has accumulated a lot of wealth and a strong national strength. As soon as I saw the time, it was still in a hurry, so I put my mind at ease and decided to look at it for a while before leaving, especially the fine white jade seal emitted a straight silver-white seductive light, which made people can't bear to leave, because I saw that the cultural relics were all visited by the museum through the thick glass cabinet, and I had never reached such a close-range scale.
After I played with these many precious cultural relics carefully, I moved other thoughts, blaming the red one who is close to Zhu and the black one who is close to ink. "But it doesn't matter, just let the moral concept be lost once in a while, anyway, I don't take it, you can't keep these treasures, maybe in a thousand years, you will either fall into the hands of the Jinren, or the jade will be burned, or the jade will be in the dirt-" I said to myself, "No, my action is still to protect important ancient relics, what a noble act," I thought to myself. I began to unscrupulously put it into the bag that I carried with me, but the bag was only so big, I loaded it like a monkey carrying it, and put it out, and then put it into a better one.
Suddenly, the sound of "Ding Zero, the fifth watch has arrived-" scared me. "What sound, what person, scared me, why didn't I feel it at all, just quietly came in a person, the master of Ouchi is really worthy of the master of Ouchi, this is a few zero, it's over, it's over, it's dead. "I hurriedly prepared to find a place to hide, but this imperial study has an unobstructed view, nowhere to hide, I mustered up the courage, but look around, there is no one, what's going on, is it some kind of scary white parrot raised by Yang Guifei, but there is no bird cage in this house. I had to tiptoe over to the side where the sound was coming from.
What is this? It turns out that there is an innocent and cute little bronze man in red clothes singing and dancing in the middle gate of the second floor pavilion, in the rattle, a little bronze man in green clothes in the third floor pavilion, like a lady of etiquette holding a sign at the north gate to tell the time, it turned out to be some cute little robots, just made me frightened is a robot that can tell the time (cymbal), this is their castle, reminds me of the seven dwarfs, and also reminds me of the little bronze man who won the Oscar.
My eyes were completely drawn to this huge round miniature palace of glittering gold, like a huge castle of great beauty, where it slept motionlessly. It is divided into five floors, each with a different number of doors. I turned to the back again, and it turned out that there was another mystery in the back, and it turned out that behind the five-story wooden pavilion was a mechanical transmission system. The wooden pavilion on the first floor reads "Zhengya Bell and Drum Tower", which is responsible for the standard time signal of the whole Taiwan. The attic has three small doors, and at the beginning of each hour (in ancient times, the day was divided into 12 hours, and one hour was divided into the beginning of the hour and the beginning of the hour), at the beginning of each hour, a wooden man dressed in purple rang the bell in the right door, and every quarter of an hour, a bronze man dressed in green beat the drum at the middle door. The second wooden pavilion can report the beginning and hour names of the 12 hours, which is equivalent to the hour dial of a modern clock. There are 24 Sichen bronze people on the side of the wheel of this layer, holding the hour card, and the card is written in turn Zichu, Zizheng, Chouchu, Chouzheng, etc. At the beginning of the day, at the right time, Sichen Muren appeared in front of the wooden pavilion on time. The third layer of the wooden pavilion is specially engraved to report the time, a total of 96 Sichen bronze people, of which 24 small bronze people report the beginning of the time, the time is right, and the rest of the bronze people are engraved. For example, Zizheng: the first moment, the second quarter, the third quarter, and the ugly beginning: the first moment, the second quarter, the third quarter, etc. The fourth floor of the wooden pavilion reports the time of the night. The bronze man can report the number according to the different seasons. There are 38 small bronze figures in the fifth layer of the wooden pavilion, and the position of the bronze figures can be changed with the change of solar terms, reporting details such as dusk, dawn, sunrise and several changes. There are 38 small bronze figures in the fifth layer of the wooden pavilion device, and the position of the bronze figures can be changed with the solar terms, reporting the details of dusk, dawn, sunrise and a few more points, and the timing is only one second for a day and a night, which is quite accurate. There are a total of 162 small bronze figures in the five-story pavilion, and the wooden figures are able to perform these wonderful and accurate time signaling movements, driven by a complex set of mechanical devices called "day and night turbines". But the amazing thing is that these little cymbal gods can automatically tell the time without machinery and gears, which is really amazing.
I suddenly remembered that the history book wrote that Su Song, the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, made a water transport instrument in 1090, which is known as the "originator of the world's clock", made great contributions to mankind, and is respected as the fifth great invention in ancient China. Ancient Chinese sundials, water clocks, fire clocks, copper kettle dripping and so on can only be counted as timers, not only accurate timekeeping, but also escapements, only when the escapement is working will make a ticking sound, which is the fundamental difference between clocks and timers. Patek Philippe, the most authoritative No. 1 brand publication of Swiss watches, also unmistakably admitted: "Su Song, a member of the Song Dynasty in China, made the 'Water Transport Instrument Elephant Table' in 1090, which installed the world's first escapement, and the European use of this principle to develop clocks was three centuries after the advent of the Chinese escapement." ”。 The British historian of science and technology, Joseph Needham, wrote in his book: "Since Su Song combined the machinery of clocks and watches with astronomical observation instruments, he has been completely successful in principle. He was six and a half centuries ahead of Robert Hooke, and seven and a half centuries before Hephei (who is considered to be the inventor of astronomical clocks in the West). "The water transport instrument is divided into three levels. The upper level is an open-air platform with an armillary sphere, supported by dragon pillars, and a sink below to level it. The armillary sphere is covered with a wooden roof that shelters from the sun and rain, and the roof can be opened and closed at will for ease of observation, which is a clever idea, which has the prototype of a modern astronomical observation room. The terrace to the base of the observatory is more than 7 meters high. On the middle floor, there is a windowless "secret room" in which Hun Xiang is placed. Half of the celestial sphere is hidden under the "horizon" and the other half is exposed above the "horizon", and it rotates with the help of a wheel, turning once a day and night, and truly reproduces the changes in the sky such as the rise and fall of the stars. On the lower level, there is a door that opens to the south, and a five-story wooden pavilion is installed in the door, behind which is a mechanical transmission system. In the impression of the vast majority of people, clocks were imported from the West at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but I didn't expect that our ancestors had played clocks and watches in the Song Dynasty, really amazing smart Chinese, I am proud of our ancestors.
"I know, this must be a miniature version of the water transport instrument elephant table, it is so ingenious, it is so exquisite-" I involuntarily stretched out my hand to play with those little people, it was so cute, they automatically cycled in it, hey, but unfortunately this miniature palace time clock is too big to take back, I compared the size of my pocket. "That's right, time, not good, time-" I suddenly remembered that this was the palace, not to leave at this time, but when to wait, I had to go, I felt like I picked up the bag casually, and was about to open the door and go out, when I suddenly heard "Gaden, Ga-" There was a line of urgent footsteps outside the house, close at hand, "It's miserable, it's miserable, what should I do, it's too late to escape, it's not feasible to hide—what to do, what to do?" I habitually poured out the contents of those bags, and then picked up the Analects in my hand, pretending to look like it, pretending to be calm and waiting for the person who came.
