Chapter 634: The Moon Rises and the Moon Sets
After hearing this, Fang Zheng suddenly felt an urge to give himself two big mouths, isn't this nothing to look for? I feel that I have dug a pit for myself that I didn't have, and then I forgot where to dig it, maybe it will fall into it one day......
Fang Zheng smiled bitterly, if something happens, then it will happen, and it is irreversible anyway. Moreover, Fang Zheng is trolling, and he probably won't touch this pit.
Since the system doesn't care much about his thoughts on eating, Founder is naturally happy.
In the evening, the sun gradually set in the west, changing from a blinding fireball to a large orange orange, and a full silver-white moon appeared in the sky in the east.
Fang Zheng stood on the edge of the cliff, watching the sunset and the moonrise, letting the evening breeze blow the monk's robes and hunting, as if he would fly away with the wind at any time. Those who don't know really think that this is a fairy.
"Master, it's strange, didn't the moon rise from the west before, why did it rise from the east this time?"
Fang Zheng put his hands behind his back, looked at the moon in the distance and said, "That's because you have never carefully observed the trajectory of the moon, in fact, the trajectory of the moon is not as unchanged as the sun. The phases of the moon change periodically, under normal circumstances, the moon appears between the sun and the earth on the first day of the lunar calendar, and the back side of the moon is dark and faces the earth, so the moon cannot be seen on the earth, and this day is called Shuo.
One or two days after the new day, in the evening in the western sky, the moon is curved in the direction of the setting sun.
Later, the position of the Moon gradually shifted eastward relative to the Sun, and the bright part also expanded, and after five or six days, it became a bright "first quarter moon" with half light and half dark, and the western half was bright, and the sunset was due south of the observer.
In seven days, around the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, the full moon will arrive, which is today. At this time, because the moon revolves around the earth and the rotation of the earth, there is a change, at sunset, the sun is in the west, and the full moon is in the east, that is, the west rises and the east sets.
The east rises and the west falls, the west rises and the east falls, and the infinite cycle repeats. ”
"Well, so much more, what about after the full moon, and what about the half of the moon after the full moon?" the monkey asked curiously.
Fang Zheng said with a smile: "When it's okay, look at your phone with your junior brother and don't know how to check directly." After the full moon, the western part of the moon becomes more and more scarce, and after seven days, it becomes a "second quarter moon" with half light and half dark, and the eastern half is bright. The second quarter moon rises in the middle of the night. After the second quarter moon, the moon continues to be in deficit, and becomes the waning moon hanging in the eastern sky before dawn. It's also a circular ......"
"What a magical feeling...... monkey scratched his head, he had seen the theory of the earth, the moon, and the sun before, so he understood it.
But some people don't understand.
The squirrel curiously pulled Fangzheng's ears and asked, "Master, what you said is so strange, the moon and the sun are in the sky, they are together, won't they collide?"
Fang Zheng directly put the squirrel on the monkey's shoulder and said, "Jingzhen, you tell Jingkuan why the sun and the moon can't collide." ”
Faced with the curious baby squirrel, Fang Zheng directly chose to surrender. This little thing is full every day, just go out to find food, and then come back to continue eating, sleep when you are tired, and eat when you wake up...... The things in his head are basically not very useful, explain to him the sun and the moon, and he will definitely ask questions about the universe...... After asking layer by layer, Fang Zheng estimated that he was going to stew squirrel.
In addition, the villagers also came, the tables and chairs were put up, the women began to busily set the plates, the men put on the incense, the temple outside the braggadocio bragging, nonsense, the children ran all over the ground, wow wow screaming, from time to time the sound of two artillery battles, the originally quiet Yizhi Mountain top, instantly lively.
In the midst of the noise, the moon is getting higher and higher, and everyone's interest is getting better and better. Although you can't drink alcohol, this is also the first time for everyone to enjoy the moon on the top of the mountain, eat moon cakes, watch the moon, brag about, and beat bear children...... This little day turned out to be extremely comfortable and chic.
Although Fang Zheng is a landlord, but as a monk, he must not follow them to brag, chat with everyone at will, who has a question in his heart Fang Zheng to help answer it, and when everyone has no problem, Fang Zheng quietly left the crowd. Sitting in the distance, looking at this lively scene, Fangzheng's heart was extremely quiet.
"No wonder Master often says that quietness is quietness in the midst of trouble, and hiding in the deep mountains is not pure. Forcibly hiding from the quiet can't be quiet, beware of calming down, no matter how chaotic the outside world is, it is also quiet. Fang Zheng muttered.
At that moment, there was a burst of laughter, and then a group of children screamed and chased the squirrels all over the ground, and finally the squirrels turned a corner and burrowed into the grass, and a group of bear children began to turn the squirrels in the grass.
After a while, Fang Zheng's legs tightened, and the squirrel dragged Fang Zheng's trouser leg and climbed up, and said shyly: "Master, don't say I'm here." These kids, it's crazy...... Stand. If I run any longer, I'll fall off the scales, and I can't just lose the autumn fat that I finally raised. ”
Founder also knows that many animals will stick autumn fat before winter, that is, eat a lot of high-calorie, high-fat things, fatten themselves, and accumulate a lot of fat energy in the body to maintain the winter. But the squirrel obviously doesn't need it, he is roasting the fire this winter, eating hot food, does he still need to raise autumn fat?
No matter how Fang Zheng looked at it, he felt that this little thing was getting lazier and lazier.
At this moment, Meng Meng came over, and the squirrel immediately hid.
Meng Meng squatted directly on the side of Fangzheng, leaning on Fangzheng's legs, like a little milk cat, her big eyes narrowed, and she seemed to be a little sleepy. Meng Meng is still young after all, not as energetic as those big children, the adults over there are chatting about the sky and the sea, the sky is high, the voice is loud, the little guy can't sleep, so he ran to Fangzheng. The little guy said cutely: "Brother Fangzheng, Mengmeng is sleepy, can you tell Mengmeng a story?"
Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment, telling a story to the child? He really didn't think about this work, looked up at the moon, and immediately smiled, and said, "Okay, then I'll tell you a story about a beautiful sister, right?"
"Okay, okay......" Although Meng Meng was clapping, her big eyes were closed more.
Fang Zheng said: "Mengmeng, do you know why everyone wants to admire the moon on the fifteenth? I know that you don't know, it is said that there was a very beautiful woman in ancient times...... Hou Yi shot down nine suns...... Chang'e ate the elixir by mistake and desperately pulled something, not wanting to fly away, but in a hurry, she only grabbed a rabbit she raised, so she flew to the moon with the rabbit. Ancient women believed that on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the moon was the largest, brightest, and closest to the ground, and if you prayed to the moon, you would be blessed by Chang'e and become as beautiful as Chang'e. So the beautiful girls have watched the moon on this day, and gradually formed this custom. Meng Meng?"1.
