The "since ancient times" on the "banknote" contains a careful thought of Huangshi, looking at the four seas, the whole world, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, and the king's ministers. Of course, his royal land is not the royal paradise of the emperor, but the creation of an earthly kingdom similar to primary socialism.

And the reason why he is so eager to print the most beautiful and magnificent scenery of these continents on the "banknotes" that will be the first set is because he has a subconscious at work, he is afraid that if he can't complete the task issued by the gate of time and space one day, he and his companions will be wiped out, so the scenery printed on these "banknotes" can also guide their next generation, like the "migration" roadmap of other religions, sporadically migrating to every new place through business and refuge, Let them go from victory to victory in various ways.

So when Chen Youxin took the "banknotes" in their hands and listened to Huangshi tell them that this is the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, this is Tierra del Fuego in South America, this is the North Sea in Europe, and this is the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, they couldn't help but exclaim.

"Wow, I didn't expect the 'Cape of Good Hope' in Africa mentioned by the chief to be so far away."

"It turns out that Mr. Chen has been to Bo Ni here, so far away."

"Hehe, no matter how far you go, you can get farther than that 'Cape of Good Hope'!"

"How many miles away is that? If people rely on walking, can they get there in this life? ”

"Here, it's Zheng He's wooden bones that have been there." The whispering below did not affect Yellowstone, he drew a small circle on the laptop screen in front of him, and explained to them that he was not afraid that they would not see it, because behind him, that is, on the snow-white curtain, there was already a map of the world in the 16th century.

Of course, before saying this, they saw that the Ming Dynasty, which they originally thought was a great country, thought that it was the most extensive territory, and it was in the center of heaven and earth, but when they looked at it on the map, it only occupied such a small area of the world, and the countries in the west were not smaller than the Ming Dynasty at all, and they could swallow an egg with their mouths open.

And like Zhang Chen and Li Chengpeng are no better than others, as scholars, the mentality of "the kingdom of the heavenly empire" can be said to be extremely strong, when Huang Shi pointed to several small countries in the extreme west and said, if you want to compare these small countries, the Ming Dynasty is already the twilight of the West Mountain, not only in military science and technology, but also in all aspects of backwardness.

The two of them immediately expressed strong disbelief below, and Huang Shi heard their conversation below clearly, but he didn't care. After all, since the Sui Dynasty, China has established a system of the Celestial Empire with China as the suzerain, and neighboring countries as vassal states because of its strong national strength.

Therefore, it is not surprising that all Chinese feudal dynasties believed that their own dynasty was the political, economic, and cultural center of the world, and that it was the "Heavenly Empire" and the "Heavenly Kingdom" that were ahead of other surrounding "barbarians" in all aspects.

No, they did not say, as they did in the next 300 years, "Spain has teeth, grapes have teeth, teeth become a country, unheard of in history, unrecorded in history, absurd, nothing more than this." Huang Shi was already relieved, so he smiled faintly at their complaints, and specially turned out the route information of "Zheng He's Voyage to the West" on the computer.

Zheng He went to the West more than 100 years ago, in the era of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, anchored from Taicang Liujiagang in Suzhou, Jiangsu, and led more than 200 sea ships, 2. More than 70,000 people sailed to the western Pacific and Indian Oceans to visit more than 30 countries and regions, including the Indian Ocean.

This feat is not only known to scholars, but also to ordinary people, and most of the people here are people related to maritime trade, so when Huangshi pointed to the chart, he introduced more than 30 countries such as Java, Sumatra, Sulu, Pahang, Chenla, Guli, Siam, Punggara, Adan, Tianfang, Zhofar, Kurumus, and Mugudushu.

Naturally, they were talking about it below, and Chen Youxin was even more excited when he saw the Bo Ni country marked on the map, and his two eyes looked at the line of Bo Ni, Guli, and Zhenla, thinking that if there was this sea chart back then, it would ......

Just as he was thinking about it there, he heard the chief say above, "Okay, just now we just reviewed the history of 'Zheng He's voyage to the West' 100 years ago, and now let's get down to business and discuss these 'banknotes'." ”

Because Huang Shi just introduced them to the natural scenery patterns on the back of these "banknotes", they had no idea at all about South America, Africa, and Europe, so Huang Shi could only open his notebook, plug in the projector, and release the map works of history teacher Yu Kuotian.

There was a lot of talk about it, but it was much easier to explain the scenery to the map. Originally, Huangshi also wanted to rename each continent like other traversers, such as Dongsheng Shenzhou, West Niuhe Continent, South Ganbu Continent and North Julu Continent.

But at this time, Wu Chengen, who wrote Journey to the West, probably hadn't written it yet, so these place names are not known to most people as the four continents in Buddhist legends. In addition, Lao Huang has always disliked trouble, so these areas copied the geographical terms translated by the missionaries at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

So Chen Youxin asked in front, "Chief, why is the continent where we are located called Asia?" ”

"Well, Asia is Asia Minor, which means 'the place where the sun rises.'" Huang Shi thought about it and gave such an answer, because he still remembered the song at the Beijing Asian Games, and the favorite sentence "When the sun rises" when he drank "Sun God Lion's Mane Mushroom Oral Liquid" when he was a child.

"Chief, why is this 'Asia' 'the place where the sun rises.'" Then Zhang Chen was digging into the roots.

"Well, let me think about it." Huangshi has a headache for a while, this is really good and bad, don't look at it in the future, it is easy to copy all kinds of geographical history books in the modern 21st century, but when you encounter such a request to explain the origin of the noun, it is very troublesome.

He could not explain to them that its English name was Asia, and according to legend, the name of Asia was given by the ancient Phoenicians, which means the place where the sun rises in the east. Frequent maritime activities required the Phoenicians to determine their bearings. Therefore, they refer to the area east of the Aegean Sea as "Asu", which means "the land of the rising sun"; The place west of the Aegean Sea is generally called "Ereb", which means "the sun has lost the land".

The term Asia is derived from the Phoenician word Asu, and at that time the geographical reference was not very clear and the scope was limited. It was not until the first century BC that Asia became the name of an administrative province of the Roman Empire, and then gradually expanded to include the whole of present-day Asia, thus becoming the largest continent in the world.

Huang Shi hadn't figured out how to explain it, but here he heard Li Chengpeng and Zhang Chen talking below, "If the 'Ya' person, "Erya? Commentary "Cloud: 'Times. "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" cloud: "Ugly." "Rhyme" cloud: "Xiao also." Then how is this 'Asia' not a 'sub-continent' also a 'sub-continent'? ”

"Indeed, in my opinion, the name 'Xuzhou' is stronger than this 'Asia'."

Huangshi listened to the black lines on it, which made a lot of sense, but when I thought about it, I remember that it seems to say that the pronunciation is fake, and if you use the sound "ya", you can say that it is "Yazhou". Or as Zhang Chen said, change the name to "Xuzhou", or "Zhongzhou", because "Asia" is the largest, and will become the center of this world in the future, so it is completely possible to consider changing the name to "Zhongzhou", after all, there is a "central continent" or "China's continent" meaning.

But think about it again, how does this "Zhongzhou" feel a little strange, Huangshi only then remembered that there seems to be an infinite flow of pioneering work, there is a "Zhongzhou team", no wonder I think it is so weird, forget it, or call it "Asia", anyway, the interpretation of this name is mine, and I will find two teachers in the future, Bai Jasper or Yu Kuotian, and let them publish a special dictionary of terms.

So as soon as the topic changed, it turned to the deeds of "Zheng He's voyage to the West", and at the same time, the modern geographical terms of ancient place names such as Java, Sumatra, Sulu, Pahang, Chenla, Guli, Siam, Punggara, Adan, Tianfang, Zofar, Khurumus, and Mugu Dushu were mentioned slightly, but they did not cause controversy.

……

After more than an hour of crooked buildings, Huang Shi held up the set of "banknotes" and began to explain the patterns on their fronts, which were selected from Xu Xiaoxiao's five or six schemes.

One of the most interesting schemes is that rice, millet, millet, wheat, and soybean are counted as five, plus tea, mulberry, cotton, peanuts, rapeseed, sesame, soybeans, sugarcane, etc.

There are also 12 zodiac signs, rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, pig plus phoenix or unicorn.

Unfortunately, after hearing this, Huang Shi was very dissatisfied, he felt that these patterns could not reflect the vigorous temperament of the new regime he was going to create, so he asked Xu Xiaoxiao to study the characteristics of the first and third sets of renminbi patterns.

On the theme of the first set of renminbi patterns, the patterns of industry, agriculture, commerce, textiles, transportation, transportation, factories and mines and other economic construction and people's lives in the new society at that time were selected, reflecting the true historical significance, status and role of the first set of renminbi, vividly showing the passionate years of China's liberation and the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China with concerted efforts, hard work and self-reliance to build a new China and a new society. Among them, there are "water buffalo pictures", "fighting field pictures", "sailing boats", "horse drinking water pictures", and "yurts", which are all famous patterns.

The third set of renminbi has a clear theme and ideas, and the content echoes each other, which is very rich in national characteristics. The back of the three denominations of the horn coupon is composed of chrysanthemums, peony flowers, plum blossoms, cotton, etc. Among them, the most famous are the picture of a female tractor on the front of the 1 yuan coupon, the picture of a lathe worker on the front of the 2 yuan coupon, the picture of a steelmaker on the front of the 5 yuan coupon, and the front of the 10 yuan coupon is the picture of "the people's representative stepping out of the Great Hall" and so on. The "since ancient times" on the "banknote" contains a careful thought of Huangshi, looking at the four seas, the whole world, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, and the king's ministers. Of course, his royal land is not the royal paradise of the emperor, but the creation of an earthly kingdom similar to primary socialism.

And the reason why he is so eager to print the most beautiful and magnificent scenery of these continents on the "banknotes" that will be the first set is because he has a subconscious at work, he is afraid that if he can't complete the task issued by the gate of time and space one day, he and his companions will be wiped out, so the scenery printed on these "banknotes" can also guide their next generation, like the "migration" roadmap of other religions, sporadically migrating to every new place through business and refuge, Let them go from victory to victory in various ways.
