Jiang Tian slept beautifully in his own home, and didn't get up until dark, but maybe he was confused, and when he woke up, he shouted: "Book!" Book ......"

The whole house looked at Jiang Tian, who was a little convulsive, and plunged into the study again, thinking to himself that the bookworms that the ancients said were nothing more than that, right? But when is Lord Jiang crazy and has to get sick on Chinese New Year's Eve, then how can the big guy keep the New Year? In the end, Xinyue and Xiyun also chased into the study, which made Jiang Dementia come back to his senses and remember that today was the Spring Festival.

"Let's make everyone laugh, today is the New Year or follow last year's old practice, don't divide what the master and servant are, everyone just have fun......" Jiang Tian is still that approachable, but the people in the house look at him a little differently, the old man who had to get by and ate a little bit and wait for death suddenly became energetic, as if he had solved a very important problem in his heart, and he was refreshed and like two people.

Xinyue guessed that this might be related to those books, she was actually no stranger to those things, and even surpassed Jiang Tian in the field of traditional arithmetic, but she felt that the Arabic numerals introduced by Jiang Tian were very simple and easy, and the calculation of the problem was intuitive and fast, and it had surpassed the traditional arithmetic in terms of grade, so she collapsed her heart and learned it from scratch seriously, but looking at the current situation, Jiang Tian seemed to have never known these things, and was as excited as if he had found a treasure, is this thing really so magical?

Different from her doubts, the other ladies in the house, especially those who may warm the bed for the master, sighed when they thought of this year of no progress, it seems that this Lord Jiang is really a good book more than a good @ color, especially looking at his table in the past few days, he almost forgot the time in the study, not to mention that he has never even touched these beauties in front of him, does he really have to find a way out? Jiang Tian can't manage so much now, and has been in a state of excitement since he thought he had discovered the true context of the world's scientific history. He finally understood why China could become the world's factory in his original time and space, because Chinese engineers had imprinted the traces of their ancestors in their bones, and in line with the attitude of solving practical problems, they learned and used various ready-made formulas, and finally made China's industry catch up with the world's footsteps in a very short period of time, but it was also too practical, so that there has been no significant progress in the field of basic research. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, however, with the exception of some nascent and emerging sciences, most industrial productivity has reached the limits of processing levels. Before there is no essential change in basic science, there is not much room for China to catch up, so the 21st century has been brewing a new industrial revolution, but it is a pity that until Jiang Tian crossed, although all kinds of novel things emerge in endlessly, but they have not been able to get out of the category of classical physics, computers hovering between biological systems and quantum systems (China is very strong in the quantum field), although 3D printing in the field of machining is in the ascendant, but at least it can not replace CNC machine tools (the largest titanium alloy printer in China), New energy cannot see anyone who can completely replace fossil fuels (China's controlled nuclear fusion research is at the forefront of the world and is the largest producer of solar and wind energy systems), although the field of medicine lags behind the mainstream, but because Chinese medicine does make up for the shortcomings of modern medicine in some fields, it also makes Chinese's understanding of health care very different from the world. The aerospace sector lags behind the United States, but the country has invested a lot, is in the stage of small steps, and the most important thing is that China is the only country that still retains a complete industrial system. Therefore, no matter how you look at China in the 21st century, it has the technological accumulation to challenge the industrial revolution, but we don't know what the beginning of this revolution is, and I don't know what it will eventually lead the world to become. But Jiang Tian after reading these ancient Chinese knowledge, firmly believe that the scientific development system with Chinese characteristics will shine, who let the classical physics in the theoretical stage has developed to the ceiling, and the modern industry that focuses on engineering realization does not care about the definition of various theorems in theory, as long as you can finally get a qualified finished product, what does it matter how you do it?

Jiang Tian also excitedly imagined that from now on, his school should be in line with future generations, try not to explain various derivation processes before high school, and only teach various practical formulas, in order to train a large number of engineers, and finally focus on university education, not only to teach people to fish but also to teach people to fish, and these college students can try to tilt towards their own students, so that they are higher than those international students at the starting point, so that even if they are Japanese, Koreans and even people from other countries, Even after completing high school, it is impossible to develop too many scientists. Even if high-level experts and scholars do emerge, China has enough ability to attract them to stay here and use them for our own use. Because no country in the world will have a more complete scientific research system than ours, and there will be no more resources than ours.

Unlike Jiang Tian's excitement, few people in this world can appreciate the greatness of ancient Chinese science, so I don't know what the consequences of this book ban will be for the world, in this era there are really some people who have a sense of crisis about this ban, these people are the missionaries who came to China, since John Tang died unexpectedly, the Jesuits have not found a role that can replace him, most of the existing missionaries major in music and painting, these things are not very attractive to the Chinese, The Jesuits had always wanted to find a monk who could understand science to reconnect with the top echelons of the Chinese court, but such a talent was rare even in Europe. Historically, it was not until Nan Huairen came to China that the need was satisfied, but for the nobles of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, science was not very popular. For the Jesuits, they also did not like science, but they were now the leaders of scientific and technological progress in Europe, and the Holy See should not care whether China exchanged scientific and technological achievements with them, but it was afraid that the Chinese who were keen on science would interrupt their missionary activities, which would bring the slightly improved work directly back to the original point. If there is any difference between China and other pagan regions, it is that China cannot be conquered by force, that is, the missionaries and their knights cannot force the Chinese to convert to Christianity with swords and muskets, not to mention that the Protestant heretics are still eyeing the sidelines, so their sense of crisis about the ban is also very obvious, and when they first get the news from some "friends", they immediately believe that China will close the door to mission.

It is no wonder that they are all in the dust, the original Ming Dynasty used science to knock on the door of China, so that some high-level Chinese intellectuals began to accept them. Now that China itself has an emperor who understands science better than them, and the rationality of their mission has begun to be greatly reduced, not to mention that the doctrine also contains a lot of content that conflicts with the mainstream culture of the Central Plains. So even if it was Chinese New Year's Eve, even if they might expose their "friends", they still chose to run to the Jiang Mansion to pay New Year's greetings at the first time!

"Chinese New Year's Eve to pay New Year's greetings?" Jiang Tian was a little overwhelmed after listening to Menzi's report, thinking that he had no relationship with these clergy? At the beginning, they really wanted to understand the development of science and technology in Europe, but after knowing that John Tang died unexpectedly during the conquest of Beijing, he didn't plan to have anything to do with these god's dogs.

Jiang Tian wanted to refuse them, but when he thought of Nan Huairen, who was bumpy on the sea and didn't know when he would arrive, he felt that it was better not to refuse people thousands of miles away. He has a prejudice against Christianity or all those who believe in God, because in the city where he lived before the crossing, the church did not know how to develop a bunch of old men and old women to become religious, and you just believe in it yourself, and these people are tireless in spreading the "gospel" in public! For the sake of their relatively large age, Jiang Tian had listened to it a few times patiently, but found that what these people said was no different from the cult, it was nothing more than that those who believe in God will have eternal life, and those who do not believe will go to hell forever. If you show disdain, they can really curse you not to die well, and the funniest thing is that an old lady who doesn't open her eyes pesters a Hui @ people to spread the gospel...... Fortunately, this Muslim @ fellow believer still has a sense of the legal system, and she is not punished as an evil infidel.

The tea in the study was steaming hot, and the sound of firecrackers came from time to time outside, and two European bearded men in monk's robes sat very crampedly in the first place, they had never been in contact with Chinese officials of this level, and I heard that this young nobleman had a teacher in Europe, and his understanding of Europe was probably not much less than his own, and it was indeed a little difficult to get useful information from his mouth, but there was no good way at the moment, for God, for his own faith, mainly to continue to stay in China and enjoy the civilized world, They have to fulfill their mission. In fact, it can be seen from this that these two people do not understand China, otherwise anyone who has lived in China for a period of time would not come to visit on this day, maybe because of the wrong time, those scholars who pay attention to etiquette and law will reject you indiscriminately.

Fortunately, Jiang Tian would not drive them away in a fit of anger, but after he really walked into the study, he was a little embarrassed, because he didn't know whether he should bow his hand to say hello, or reach out to shake hands with them? Besides, is the handshake now invented? Let a bearded guy kiss himself on the cheek? It would be better to just drive them out. Fortunately, these two missionaries knew a little bit of Chinese etiquette, and monks in China did not have to kneel to officials, so they learned to meet Jiang Tian in a pretentious manner, although it looked a little nondescript, and it was better than not doing anything at all.

After the two sides sat down, Jiang Tian didn't bother to talk nonsense with them, and quickly asked them what they were doing: "I don't know if you can speak my Chinese?" ”

One of the guys with fiery red hair nodded hurriedly, and said in a very foreigner tone: "My lord, I will say a little." ”

Jiang Tian's face twitched when he heard it, if he hadn't heard a lot of Ming version of the official dialect in the southern and northern tones, I am afraid he wouldn't know what he was talking about: "Since this is the case, let's talk about the intention of visiting all night!" ”

The advantage of Chinese is that even if you can't understand one or two words, at least you can follow down the general meaning, so even if these two people don't know what is called night, but at least they know what Jiang Tian means, and the red-haired priest hurriedly said: "We came this time for two purposes, the first is to give you New Year's greetings, and the second is to give you gifts." ”

Jiang Tianxin said that these two things are one thing, right? Aren't you here to give gifts? However, he also knew that he could not explain it clearly with these half-baked missionaries, so he could not delve into the question: "In that case, the official is very grateful, but I wonder what gift the priest brought?" ”

It's not that Jiang Tian is greedy for money, but he can't guess what these two people want to do, so he plans to judge their purpose from the richness of the gift. After listening to Jiang Tian's question, the red hair hurriedly said a few words to his companion, and then the other party respectfully took out a basin-sized photo frame from a burden he carried.

"This ......" Jiang Tian couldn't tell what the other party wanted to do, and he was not a believer, why did he send such a religious painting?

Hongmao didn't know that Jiang Tian knew about oil painting, so he was very excited to introduce: "My lord, this is our Europa's latest painting technique......"

Jiang Tian was not interested in listening to his stumbling introduction, but he was very interested in this painting, because he had also seen a documentary about the Qing Dynasty court painting school in his previous life, and knew that since Kangxi, the missionaries' contributions to China were limited to art, especially the court painting was influenced by the European realistic style, and the representative figure was the well-known Lang Shining. In fact, Jiang Tian also heard a person who plays art say that if it is really about impressions and abstractions, the Chinese played earlier than Europe, and the freehand landscape is an impressionist style that has taken off the role of recording. One possibility is that Chinese culture was not the mainstream in that time and space, and Chinese literati used to prefer natural landscapes, while ukiyo-e prints were mostly figures, so ink painting was not recognized by Europeans. However, Jiang Tian himself feels that the reason why our painting style failed to develop the Song Dynasty Gongbi painting to the level of European oil painting is inseparable from another field: "Anatomy".

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been developed over thousands of years to treat common diseases, but the disadvantage is that it does not have a good understanding of bones and muscles, and no doctor needs to know the basic knowledge of the human body except in certain forensic fields. And the European medicine of this era is actually even more unreliable, such as the famous bloodletting therapy and exchange transfusion test, to put it mildly, the European medical level at this time is not much better than the witch doctors of some African tribes in later generations, which is also the main reason why European medicine failed to affect China in this era. It was not until 200 years later, with the dual perfection of anatomy and chemistry, that modern medicine was finally born. There is a more direct argument that Chinese medicine does not have a perfect anatomical foundation, of course, the study of acupuncture points and dialectical treatment theory is also a difficult problem in the 21st century, but as long as the conscience is not for dogs, people must admit that Chinese medicine is indeed powerful in the field of certain chronic diseases, neurological diseases (not mental diseases) and health care to despise modern medicine. For example, Jiang Tian had a friend in his last life, this person suffered from chronic gastroenteritis, which belonged to the kind of problem that did not kill but wasted toilet paper, and this brother went to a tertiary hospital for treatment, the prescription of Western medicine is "Immediate Stop", and the prescription of Chinese medicine is "Shenling Atractylodes Pill", the difference is that one takes it when necessary, and the other has to take it for three years according to the course of treatment! The prescription of Chinese medicine seemed to be very unreliable, but he still complied with it and persevered. Because he knows that Western medicine has basically no solution to this disease, and there is no cure for it except to stop diarrhea, while Chinese medicine tells him that although the process is slow, your disease can be cured. This is just a very ordinary small example, which seems to have the typical characteristics of two kinds of medicine, one is to treat the head and feet, and the other is to find a way to consolidate the foundation and cultivate the yuan, and gradually eat away at the lesions by using the method of encircling the city from the countryside. This example is not to prove that Chinese medicine is superior to Western medicine, but to say that these two types of medicine can actually be highly complementary, and for Chinese, many people do the same, how can Chinese medicine become useless in some people's mouths? Therefore, when Jiang Tian saw this oil painting, his first reaction was not that this painting could have any impact on Chinese art, but that he immediately remembered the shortcomings of traditional Chinese medicine.

So Jiang Tian immediately realized that he wanted to find out the origin of this painting, but he couldn't seem to be in a hurry, after all, he didn't know what the purpose of these missionaries was: "Hmm...... It is a foreign painting that is very different from my country, but I don't know who made this painting? The official is very interested in the culture of other countries. ”

Jiang Tian's question shows the cultural differences between China and Europe, in China, whether a painting is valuable or not, unless it is some custom-made works such as frescoes and New Year paintings, the author generally has the right to sign it, but in Europe, the Holy See has strictly forbidden artists to sign their own works, especially in religious works, for which Michelangelo once highly despised the Roman Church and worshiped China infinitely.

The Chinese-speaking red hair was not surprised by this, he probably wanted to sell the resources in his hands, and it would be great if art could impress the Chinese executives, so he naturally pushed the priest next to him: "It's good if you like it, the author of this painting is none other than this Father Jacob." ”
