Therefore, the old characters all used the sound of 'xi' that can represent the sunlight shining on the back side of the earth

Therefore, in the past, it actually refers to two very close times.

The true meaning of the past is to say that it was only a short time ago.

For example, how good we were in the past, today, you actually turn your face, in fact, it means that the other party changes his face quickly.

And with candles, Ah Yu wants to even count the night, but it is conceivable that the previous one took 0 o'clock in the morning and 9 o'clock in the evening, and there was a small problem with the 10 o'clock clock day shadow calculation method at 10 o'clock.

That is, 0 o'clock in the morning according to the Guanyin law, it is not really night, in fact, it is the moment when the sun has already revealed a ray of sunshine.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, it was not really night, and although the sun was gone, it was still far from dark.

However, the real transition of these two heads to the night time is sometimes long and sometimes short, and it is not easy to distinguish.

For this reason, after thinking of the Chen image method, he only drew a horizontal line at 0 o'clock in the morning and 9 o'clock in the evening, to indicate that it is night below the horizontal line.

In this way, there are two more points of time, and the 'once' time from night to day and then to night becomes twelve.

As the ancestor of the 'moon length' and 'bow length' who liked to watch the moon for a long time, she always knew that there were twelve months in a year, and in order to make people remember the twelve months, she was afraid that she would use the twelve hour system.

It can be seen that Ah has had the concept of decimal and the concept of decimal very early.

When Zhang Jingtao heard this, his heart moved, and the word 'six' was instantly cracked!

Six characters record this astronomical change.

It is the appendage of the shadow of the sun', 'walking' one, and the day is twelve hours, and the meaning of the word 'eight' is used to divide these twelve points in time into two, and there is the number 'six'.

Extremely subtle astronomical writing!

It can be said that I don't know astronomy, I don't know six.

If you want to be six-six-six, of course, you must understand astronomy.

After that, Ah didn't bother with where the intersection of night and day was, because she knew very well that it was always changing, so it was very simple, according to the principle of the image method and the mirror, the twelve points were copied and reflected, and it was counted as the time of the night.

As a result, Ah Ha has a 24 o'clock watch that is slightly different from that of modern clocks.

There are twenty-four hours.

And, for some reason, Ah has mastered the use of pi and decimal points.

For this reason, she thought that the time before sunrise and sunset was really difficult to calculate, and that it was good to calculate the time evenly, so that people could act more timely, so she was very arrogant, and divided the twenty-four hours of the day evenly to use it as time.

"I need to be in time to make everyone's life more regular, and I don't need to be too accommodating to the light and dark changes of the day!" That's what Ah said about this completely artificial segmentation.

After speaking, Ah He erased the position of the numbers at 24 o'clock on the blackboard, and then, still at 12 noon, wrote a big '0'.

And said: "It's just that such 24 hours is good, but if you want to keep time accurately, after all, you must use the most accurate day shadow at noon to set the starting point to correct the time difference, so after I consider this, I still put the starting point of the day at noon, and still use the afternoon time as the hour, and the morning time as the hour, to use the time." ”

Blood Quartz listened attentively, but at this moment he couldn't help but say: "However, there are too many points on this, and my eyes are spent." ”

And everyone was about to scold Blood Quartz for not being presumptuous, but they saw Ah He laugh and said: "Yes, although the 24-hour method is very good and intuitive, but for us Honghuang people, there is a huge problem, that is, I can't remember it, and it's not easy to express." Therefore, the 24-hour chart, although it looks intuitive, is very unintuitive to use. ”

Blood Quartz was very happy, nodded and said: "Mmmmmm, besides, the time may be a little more fine, twenty-four points are too dense, and it is not conducive to the subdivision in a point in time." ”

But it actually put forward a very constructive angle of thinking.

After dividing a circumference into twenty-four parts, it is indeed not easy to subdivide the minutes.

Ah nodded approvingly, removed the twenty-four dots, one by one, and removed the twelve, and said: "Yes, just as Ying'er thought, I also thought of this problem, so I used the concept of time to hide all the hours." And the twenty-four points were combined into twelve points in time. ”

Then he smiled and said: "Presumably, the counting method of only two fingers more than ten fingers, everyone should still be able to imagine, right?" ”

Everyone in the audience agreed.

And this time-sharing method is exactly the same as that of modern clocks, starting at noon with the method of due south, and then, walking a circle, the twelve hours thus completed are counted as hours.

Wait until 0:00 in the evening, walk again until noon the next day, and the twelve hours thus completed are counted as hours.

It's like there's a mirror underneath the twelve hours.

So, can people who don't understand these things, people who don't have a five-stringed harp, people who don't have a literal six, people who don't have the foundation of twelve-based civilization, invent clocks?

Funny, right?

So who invented clocks?

Chinese people!

At night, after counting the time with the burning speed of the candle and the wax core of a fixed thickness, this way of causing the plane of the candle to drop slightly due to burning is called by Ahma: time.

For this reason, the division, with silk sound.

Even the horizontal curved hook '𠃌' is not read as a tick, but as a si.

The word 'division' means that along a plane, it slowly descends in a lake body, so that the large water surface gradually shrinks into a small lake body until it enters the bottom of the lake body and completely consumes the lake body.

This kind of word-making has the meaning of the T-character and also carries the usage of the salty character.

As a result, this horizontal hook '𠃌' carries the meaning of fire slowly burning, and the meaning of phantom.

Even, the magic word, that's how it came about.

Next to the word in the illusion, it is like spinning the silk movement, a thing is similar to a thing, with the sound of 'shaking', but the object below this one is a shadow, for this reason, the word unit, in addition to two strokes of the same structure, there is also an extra point, which represents the meaning of the shadow.

And if the upper part of the word is looked at separately, then it has the meaning of the sun shadow moving for a day.

Then divide the lower part of the character into pieces, then, the character is a body of dissolved water flowing in twists and turns, and finally becomes a hot and hot seal', that is, the meaning of becoming a casting.
