Chapter 313: All Under Heaven, You Can Go Anywhere (Thank You You for Having a Little Green Dragon)
?
.“ How is that possible, sir? How can the world be a ball? Xiao Needle looked at Gan Qi with a shocked face, Gan Qi's private goods are here, the world is a ball, the words are not rough, the world is round.
Gan Qi took out a large piece of rice paper, and then began to draw, drawing a general appearance of the world, and then said: "The world is not only a ball, but also a ball that can turn, when it turns, some places are night, some places are day, day and night change, not the sun is moving, but the ball itself is rotating." ”
"That'...... And what about the moon? The little needle asked.
"The moon rises and falls, and that's because the moon is turning, and the moon is revolving around our ball, and we are revolving around the sun." Ganchi said as he painted.
The little needle stare at what Gan Qi had drawn, and his mind jumped, but his head couldn't react.
Gan Qi was not afraid of the slow reaction of the small needle, and continued to draw with a pen, drawing the whole world, and even the solar system. If you talk about these things to others, you may be ridiculed, and if you talk about these things to a child, the child will listen to the story and there will be no negative consequences.
The map of the world was almost outlined, and Ganchi looked at it and nodded, and that was it. Then Gan Qi picked up the map, connected it from end to end, and said: "Look, this world is such a ball, our Great Song Dynasty is here, the Liao Kingdom is here, the Western Xia is here, go west, and the Seljuk Turkic country, this is the Americas, the people there are still Ru Mao drinking blood, this is the place where the real Kunlun slaves come, and the people here are all black and ......."
Gan Qi said that the little needle needle did not need to remember what Gan Qi said at all, and these strange things, as long as he heard them, would always be remembered in his child's curious heart.
Xiao Needle was a person who jumped out, looked at the rice paper connected from end to end, and suddenly asked, "Sir, is the top and bottom of this ball empty?" ”
When you put together a flat world map, it naturally becomes a cylindrical shape, and the top and bottom of the cylindrical shape are really two holes.
Gan Qi raised his hand and patted Xiao Needle's head, and said angrily: "What kind of brain are you unlucky boy?" Wait! ”
After saying that, Gan Qi threw away the world map, found some small bamboo, and began to make a real sphere, and then covered it with white paper, and then drew it again, drawing the real appearance of the world.
The process is kind of like making lanterns.
Teaching small children is really not a simple matter.
The victims from Yuanwu County are slowly returning to their homes, the flood has receded, and farming will continue.
The drought in Kuizhou, under the timely response of the imperial court, did not cause a major chaos, and there were a lot more bandits in the mountains and forests, but there were no real thieves raging.
This country is too big, even if it is the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty, it is only three or four million square kilometers, which is still a huge country in comparison. The country is too big, then disaster relief is something that must be done every year, no year can be lucky, the only thing that can be lucky is the size of the disaster, such a large-scale drought in Kuizhou, for the imperial court, it is more unlucky.
The Yellow River will flood, and so will the Yangtze River, and it will flood every year. The flooding of the Yellow River has natural disasters and even man-made disasters. The flooding of the Yangtze River is entirely due to the problem of precipitation in the rainy season in the south.
The rulers of ancient China were actually very difficult, and they were not really so incompetent in terms of their ability to govern. The ability of such a ruling group to maintain such a huge country to live and work in peace and contentment for hundreds of years cannot be underestimated.
When people read history, they will only take the history of the end of the dynasty and study it repeatedly. But the end is always only a small part of it, and the greatest length of real history is when people live and work in peace.
It's like someone put forward the "theory that the Great Wall is useless", saying that you see, the Great Wall is useless, but it is not often broken? But few people have ever thought about how long the Great Wall has been standing there? How many enemy invasions have you resisted? How many years did you protect the Central Plains Dynasty?
Once in a few hundred years, the Great Wall was broken and the country perished. So the Great Wall is useless? Take the Manchu Qing Dynasty entry into the customs as an example, how many battles were fought? How many times have the Manchurians looked at the city outside the pass and sighed? I can't wait to put on my wings and fly over. It's not Li Zicheng, it's not Wu Sangui, how can the Manchurians get into that city?
Just as many people look at history and say that the history of China is that you have a mace, and I have the history of Tianlinggai. Those enemies, wielding maces, the Chinese held the Tianling cover again and again. When we talk about China's history, it is all sad.
Sensoryly, there seems to be a little bit of truth to this.
But is that really the case?
Count the enemies around China, how many are there in history?
Count the remaining countries around China, South Korea, Vietnam, and even India. Which one doesn't hate China to the core? South Korea hated itself for being a vassal state of China for thousands of years, and for the sake of these, it did not hesitate to give up the Chinese characters it had always used, reinvent the written language, and refabricate history to deceive itself and others.
The same is true of Vietnam, which in the hearts of the Vietnamese people, China is the historical enemy that has repeatedly ravaged them for thousands of years. He abandoned Chinese characters, used new scripts, and began to make up history to deal with the shame.
The history written by the Chinese themselves, few people see the blood of the Han people, only the sorrow of the Han people. This is also the reason why Confucianism writes history.
In history, the Chinese have carried out extremely bloody suppression and massacres of other people, but in the history books, only two inconspicuous words are often recorded, "Yizhi". If you don't look carefully, these two words are missed, and even the cause and process are not recorded. Just those two words.
But what do these two words represent? It represents an extremely bloody massacre, and the word razor here means to extinguish, completely extinguished, not a single one remains, and all traces of many people have been erased from history.
But in the history books, when the Han people themselves experienced tragedy, it was a long story, carefully telling the tragic situation, what corpses pillow each other, stretching for more than ten miles, and so on. Could it be that when the Chinese kill others, isn't that one such a miserable situation?
The Yizhi in the history books is the true portrayal of the Chinese standing firm in history.
The Chinese, thousands of years later, are historical successes, not losers.
It was like a little needle looking at the lantern globe, listening to Gan Qi's words, and finally asking, "Sir, can we go here?" ”
Gan Qi looked down at the place where the small needle pointed and nodded: "All day long, we can go anywhere!" ”
"Well, sir, I'd like to check them all out." The little needle needle was childlike, with longing in his eyes, looking at Ganqi.
Gan Qi smiled, very pleased: "Yes, I have to go and see it." ”
