Chapter 102: Celestial Movements

"Sir's Yin and Yang Five Elements and the Great Kyushu Doctrine are indeed incisive, but from the bottom of it, Sir's views are all fallacies!" Dai Yan said. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Zou Yan knew from the time when the other party ridiculed him that this prince of the Song Kingdom was not easy to mess with, so he asked: "The prince's views are all fallacies, what is the explanation?" ”

"Sir thinks that the sky is round and the earth is round, and the seven governments are all revolving around the earth, right?" Dai Yan asked.

"This is the supreme principle of heaven and earth, and this is naturally the case!" Zou Yan replied.

"What Zou Zi thinks is the truth of heaven and earth is actually the experience of his ancestors, plus Zou Zi's own conjectures. But is that really the case? Since Zou Zi is familiar with astronomy, he naturally often observes the movement of the stars. Zou Zi should know that the operation of Wuwei is very chaotic!

From the earth, the movement of Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter is extremely unstable. Their movements, sometimes from east to west, sometimes from west to east, and sometimes even stay in one place for a period of time.

And the rotation of Venus and Mercury is even more uncertain! Zou Zi is familiar with astronomy and should know the transit of Venus and the transit of Mercury: that is, Venus and Mercury will inexplicably swing back and forth around the sun. How does Zou Zi explain this? Dai Yan asked.

Hearing the question mentioned by Dai Yan, Zou Yan also felt more and more difficult. Of course, he knew that there would be a lot of confusion in studying the celestial bodies with the earth as a reference, but his doctrine was to create an order of heaven and earth, and he could not tolerate others denying the order of heaven and earth that he had constructed. So Zou Yan forcibly explained: "The seven politics revolve around the earth, and there is naturally no problem with this way of operation, but Gongzi can know that heaven, earth and man are one, and the three affect each other. This has already been explained in my theory of the five elements, things on the earth and in the world will change frequently, affecting the chaos of the operation of the five latitudes, which seems to me to be a very normal thing, so why should Childe be careful? ”

Regarding Zou Yan's forcible explanation, Dai Yan will not let go at all. So he said: "According to Zou Zi, then the phenomenon of 'Yingfu Shouxin' is also affected by personnel on Mars? ”

Glowing and guarding the heart, that is, the phenomenon of Mars "staying" in the heart. In the Chinese horoscope chart, Antares is one of the most important constellations, because there are three most important stars in Antares, which are the stars in front of the heart, in the heart and behind the heart. These three stars represent the princes, kings, and concubines of a country.

And these three stars are closely related to the military and the country's system. When King Wu was defeated, although King Wen of Zhou had died, the march and battle also had to follow the stars! During the Battle of Muye, among the three armies of the Zhou Dynasty, the Chinese army corresponded to Xinxing, which should have been led by King Wen himself, and after the death of King Wen, it was led by the crown prince Ji Fa; The former army corresponds to the heart of the former star, which should have been commanded by the crown prince Ji Fa, because Ji Fa commanded the Chinese army, so the former army was actually handed over to Zhou Gongdan as the commander; The rear army corresponds to the heart of the back star, corresponding to the concubine, and is led by the eldest son of King Wen, Zhaogong.

Think about it, if the phenomenon of glowing and guarding the heart happens, what does it mean for this ancient person? Glowing confusion is Mars, Mars main war and catastrophe, once Yingfu stays within three stars, then does it mean that a country's princes, kings, concubines, and other important people in the country will have accidents? Does it mean that there will be a major defeat of the three armed forces of a country?

The most influential time in history was in the era of Qin Shi Huang. In the thirty-sixth year of Qin Shi Huang, there was a phenomenon of confusion and guarding the heart. People think that this is a vision of a great change in heaven and earth! At this time, a meteorite fell on Dongjun, so the anti-Qin forces in the world wrote on the meteorite: The first emperor died and the land was divided. As a result, this incident greatly angered Qin Shi Huang, and he sent the imperial historian to investigate and kill all the people living near the meteorite and destroy its stone. Such a "miracle" happened, so some people predicted: Qin Shi Huang was going to die. The following year, Qin Shi Huang died. Such a miracle greatly strengthened the confidence of the anti-Qin forces in the world, and three years after the death of Qin Shi Huang, the incomparably powerful Qin Empire was completely overthrown.

As an astronomer of this era, Zou Yan naturally believed that Yingfu Shouxing was a sign of changes in the world, and he said: "What Gongzi said is right, Yingfu Shouxin will be affected by personnel, and it will also affect personnel. ”

Dai Yan saw Zou Yan fall into his pit step by step, so he said leisurely: "A hundred years ago, King Chu Hui destroyed Chen, and Ying was confused and guarded. Zou Zidang knew that Suiyang, the capital of my Song Kingdom, corresponds to the heavenly heart. Doesn't the occurrence of such a thing indicate that a major catastrophe will inevitably occur in our country? At that time, my country Jing Gong was very worried about this, do you know how our country eliminated this disaster? ”

"Of course, you can't avoid disasters from heaven. The Song Kingdom can continue to this day, there must be astrologers who transferred the disaster to others, right? In Zou Yan's opinion, there is only such a way to avoid a catastrophe like Yingfu Shouxin.

"Zou Zi is wrong again," Dai Yan replied, "My country's Jinggong didn't do anything, and after a few days, the confusion was naturally removed." ”

Such a conclusion made Zou Yan's expression extremely embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say.

Some of the concepts of celestial motion proposed by Zou Zi are based on the experience of predecessors, while others are original to Zou Zi. However, in my opinion, these doctrines have one of the greatest flaws, and that is that they are not falsifiable. What Zou Zi mentioned is not the real truth, and the amount can only be regarded as a conjecture!

I would like to mention another kind of conjecture - a conjecture that is more in line with facts and experience!

In my view, the things of heaven are naturally influenced by heaven, so why should they be involved with the earth and man? If you observe the five latitudes on the ground, you can see that their trajectories are disordered, so why don't we observe them in a different way?

If we look at the sun as a moving thing, and then we look at the movement of the five latitudes, we can see that the five latitudes move in a circle around the sun! The transit of Venus, the transit of Mercury, and the Luminous Mind are all just ordinary astronomical phenomena, so how can they have an impact on people and things on the earth?

And the land we live in, although it seems to us to be immobile, is in fact revolving around the sun! In this way, the earth we live on is the same as the five latitudes! I refer to these celestial bodies that revolve around the Sun as planets.

In this way, we can also get a rough idea of what the shape of the earth of our monarch is: it is a huge sphere! I call the earth the earth. ”

Dai Yan slowly expressed his views on the operation of heaven and earth.

The earth, like the five latitudes, is a star revolving around the sun? How is this possible! This was the case among all of the people present.

After Zou Yan heard Dai Yan's statement, he did not rush to object, but Zou was thinking with a frown. Then he began to find the flaws in Dai Yan's statement: "Since Childe thinks that the five latitudes and the earth are revolving around the sun, I need to observe for a long time to verify this myself." So Childe may have missed an important thing, that is, the moon, the five latitudes and the earth revolve around the sun, so how does the moon move? ”

"Of course the moon revolves around the earth!" Dai Yan replied directly without thinking about it.

"Childe's statement is indeed very interesting, but compared to Childe's statement, I'm afraid it can't be falsified, right? At least my claim has been passed down from the Ancient Sage Kings, and many sages have agreed with me. And Childe's shocking statement has never been mentioned before, so how can Childe believe that what he says is the truth? Zou Yan asked unconvinced.

"That's the difference between science and other schools. We are waiting for science, not first, not sacred, only realistic! In our opinion, the Ancient Saint Kings were not omniscient gods, and their knowledge was limited, so they naturally made mistakes! If Zou Zi doesn't believe my statement, he can observe the changes in the starry sky and see if my statement is wrong! As long as the observation results are not true to the conjecture below, I am willing to admit my mistake! Here, I want to tell Zou Zi a fact: the earth is spherical, and the little prince of Zhao next to me has now verified it himself, so you don't have to verify it anymore! Dai Yan said.

"The earth is spherical, and you haven't traveled the whole world, how can you prove it?" Zou Yan looked skeptical.

Hearing this, Zhao Yong stood up and said to Zou Yan: "Zouzi, the earth is spherical, and I didn't believe in such a statement before. However, Childe himself told me that if the earth was spherical when the ship entered and exited the port, the mast on the ship would eventually disappear; If the earth is really square, as the previous kings believed, then the whole ship must disappear at the same time.

I personally went to the beach to verify this conclusion, and it turned out that when a ship leaves the port, the bottom of the ship must disappear first, followed by the hull, and the mast disappears last! This shows that the earth is indeed spherical! ”

In fact, after Zhao Yong said that the earth can be proved to be spherical by the principle of ships entering and leaving the port, he decided that this principle was correct. Moreover, he also agreed with Dai Yan's statement that "the earth is spherical".

Zou Yan is well-informed, and he has naturally been to the beach. He had personally observed the departure of sea vessels, so he naturally knew that what Zhao Yong said was in line with the facts.

Dai Yan continued: "As for Mr.'s Great Kyushu Doctrine, I'm afraid it's also Mr.'s conjecture, right?" Naturally, the gentleman does not know how big the earth is. In fact, I can measure the size of the earth if I want to! ”
