Chapter 253: The Sky Is Round!
Inside the house.
Meng Wenhao, Li Tai, and Tie Dan all looked at Li Zexuan with curiosity.
Li Zexuan carefully sorted out the relevant knowledge in his mind, and then slowly said: "Wen Hao, Qingque, Tiedan, if you want to explain clearly why this compass can point the way, then we have to start from the ground where we are standing. I don't know if you have heard of the round place in "Zengzi Tianyuan"? ”
If you talk about knowledge in this, then Li Tai is the most knowledgeable, no way, who let the old Li family have more books!
"This Tai has seen it, does Mr. want to say that the earth is square?"
Li Tai asked with a frown.
"Definitely!"
Li Zexuan shook his head and said: "In fact, later generations one-sidedly think that the sky is round and the earth is square, which means that the sky is round and the earth is square, which is a big mistake. The essential source of the round heaven and earth is derived from the evolution of the innate eight trigrams, and the movement of the heavens and the earth, that is, the map of the round heaven and the earth. The hexagram around it represents the movement of the heavens, while the hexagrams arranged in the middle represent the movement of the earth.
Heaven is the Lord, the earth is secondary, the sky is yang, and the earth is yin. The two induce each other and generate all things in heaven and earth, in which man happens to be composed of the essence of heaven and earth, so he is regarded as the spirit of all things in heaven and earth, and can sense all things, and the most spiritual one. And my Taoist believes: "Tianyuan" means that the heart must be harmonious in order to be accessible; "Place" means to be strict in matters of destiny. The saying that the sky is round and the place is round has been misunderstood by many people from the beginning! ”
The heaven and the round place are essentially the interpretation of the generation and operation of heaven and earth in the yin and yang system of the Book of Changes, and the Book of Changes is the first of the hundred classics and the source of Chinese learning, and its ideological system believes that everything is evolved according to the five elements of yin and yang, so in various disciplines in ancient times, there are the ideological systems of the five elements of yin and yang.
For example, the architecture of the "Luban Sutra", the life science "Yellow Emperor Neijing", the governance of the country and the state of the "Spring and Autumn Dew", the marching array of "Sun Tzu's Art of War", the geographical environment of Feng Shui "Qing Bao Jing", the personal fate of the "Dripping Heavenly Marrow", the view of the face of the "human unity" and so on, as long as you can think of the aspect, almost all have the "I Ching" in the Yin and Yang ideological system. This is also the true connotation of why the I Ching is revered as the first of the hundred classics.
In fact, these things were also seen in a forum post bar when Li Zexuan was bored in his previous life. As a closed disciple of Lingxu Zhenren, he has traveled over for so long, and this time he finally has the opportunity to promote Taoist culture (by the way, he is talking nonsense seriously), it is really not easy!
The other three people in the room, after listening to Li Zexuan's words that contained too much philosophy, couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Sir, what shape is the earth we live in?"
At this time, a crisp sound came from the door, it was Xiao Yu'er.
"Yikes! Xiao Yu'er, did you go to the editorial office? How, how does it feel? ”
Li Zexuan asked with a smile.
"Well, the atmosphere there is very good, but it's full of well-educated people, sir, Xiao Yu'er thinks I'm afraid I won't be able to do this job!"
Li Yu went to the editorial department, and was really amazed by the scene inside, but compared with those erudite editors, Xiao Yu'er, a little girl who had never gone to school and could barely read and write, was hit in an instant.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that our clever and eloquent little fish would also be cowardly!"
Li Zexuan smiled and said: "But Xiao Yu'er, it's not right for you to think so, although you haven't read poetry and books, but you also have your advantages, the news in our "Datang Daily" doesn't need to be very literary, you just need to write a thing that is novel and interesting, I think you can be qualified for this position." ”
"Really? Can it really be? ”
Li Yu asked excitedly.
"Well, of course, you try to write one first, show it to me, maybe I can still give you some pointers, of course, before writing news, you have to go to the people, find something interesting, as a reporter, you can't make something out of nothing!"
"Mmmm, I'll go out tomorrow to find the news!"
This girl has a big heart, and the bad mood comes and goes quickly, and she no longer has the decadence she used to be, but is full of energy, and then she continues: "Sir, you will continue to tell me what shape the earth is, right?" ”
Li Tai and Tie Dan also nodded hurriedly, at this time, they didn't have the extra heart to care about where Li Yu was sacred and where he came from, their minds were hooked into the set of theories that Li Zexuan just talked about.
"Actually, the earth we are standing on is a sphere, and the reason why we don't feel that it is a sphere is because it is too big and too big, and I call this earth the earth. A man in every corner of the earth, with the sky above his head, and the direction in which he stands points to the center of the earth. ”
Li Zexuan said as he held an iron ball and gestured.
"Then why don't the people under the earth fall?"
Li Tai asked with a frown.
Li Zexuan glanced at him and said: "In fact, for the earth, there is no so-called above and below, the earth itself will rotate on its own, no, you see, this is the sun, this is the earth, when the earth turns here, this area is day, on the contrary, the back side is night, if you wait for the other side to turn around, the area on that side becomes daytime, this is the sunrise and sunset we see every day."
As for the question asked by the blue sparrow, why people don't fall, I want to leave it to a few of you to think about for yourself, but one thing I can tell you clearly is that the earth must be round, and people will definitely not fall! ”
"Sir's theory is really novel, but there is some truth in it."
Li Tai nodded thoughtfully, he couldn't fully accept it for a while, after all, the impact on his thoughts was too great.
"Hehe, Qingque seems to be a little unconvinced, then I will give you another example, the ships at sea come from afar, we always see the mast first, then see the hull, if you have not seen the sea, it is actually the same in the big river; On the other hand, no matter where we stand, there is always a limited range of what we can see, and these prove that the Earth is spherical. ”
"Hey, I've seen a lot of boats on the river like this before!"
When Li Yu heard this, he hurriedly shouted happily.
"Well, after I have made it clear to you that the ball is round, then I will tell you why this compass can show you the way, this will be a new discipline, this discipline, will bring you into a new world!"
