Chapter 161: Knotted Rope Notes
Stephen who was mentioned just now? Stephen Hawking, a professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge, is the most important contemporary general relativity and cosmologist, and is known as the world's most famous scientific thinker and the most outstanding theoretical physicist after Albert Einstein. He has proved the area theorem of black holes, which states that the area of a black hole does not decrease with time.
The reason for the existence of the city, then, goes beyond the realm of ordinary applied physics, and only a theoretical physicist like Hawking can try to explain it.
It is even said that even Hawking, whose mind is highly three-dimensional and cosmic, cannot explain the existence of the Wing King Shi Dakai, and can only try to distinguish and elaborate with the help of theology, Zen, and Buddhist theories that exist on the earth.
The reason why Xue Wan sighed and admired Ding Jun's IQ was precisely because he could understand the deep meaning of the person who left the mural in a few minutes.
She approached the mural, her fingertips brushed the recesses of those strokes, and sighed faintly: "When ordinary people come here, not only can they not understand the mural, but they can't even tell clearly what year and month the mural was left behind." There are too many people in this world who seek fame and reputation, and people who talk about it. Compared to you, they are really ...... Actually, it doesn't make sense to extrapolate the time when the mural was painted, in my opinion."
The last sentence was exactly the same as what Ding Jun had in mind, and he immediately picked it up: "The murals are just appearances and means, just to let future generations understand history more vividly, no different from words, language, dance, and music, and even before the invention of the above narrative methods, in a more distant era, the ancients who had no cultural knowledge could communicate their thoughts only by knotting ropes."
"That's right, that's right." Xue Wan bowed his head slightly.
Her chin has a slender but rounded, soft but straight line, and her skin is shiny, as her name suggests, "Evening Snow, Radiant", fair and smooth. At this moment, apart from the word "perfect", Ding Jun can no longer think of words that can describe Xue Wan's appearance. He only hated that he was not the best photographer in the world, and that he could not capture the beautiful colors of the snow night in the changing light and shadow at high speed and preserve them forever.
Ding Jun noticed that when he mentioned the "knotted rope note", Xue Wan's expression changed slightly.
The so-called "knotted rope note" refers to a method of remembering used by people before the invention of writing, that is, knotting a rope to remember things. In ancient times, both the Chinese and Peruvian Indians had this custom, and even in modern times, some peoples who did not have a written language still used knotted rope records to spread information.
Of course, in the 21st century, with the rapid development of writing, language, and communication tools, smart people like Xue Wan would never use the means of "knotting rope notes".
"You've come across something related to the 'Knotted Rope Chronicle', haven't you?" Ding Jun's heart moved, and he immediately asked.
Xue Wan was stunned for a moment, and then replied slowly: "Yes, but when I saw those things, I didn't realize that they were related to the ancient 'Knotted Rope Chronicle'. At the time, I just wondered why there were such knotted ropes, and I even mistakenly thought that those things were related to the 'art of climbing' of Japanese ninjas. ”
In the era of cold weapons, both Japanese ninjas and Chinese light martial arts masters could climb more than ten meters or even dozens of meters of city walls with a knotted rope and four claw hooks. The trick is to tie a dead knot every foot on the long rope and use it as a climbing force point for the ten fingers of both hands. That kind of skill, commonly known as the "art of climbing", has a master in all Asian countries.
Ding Jun was an extremely intelligent person, and immediately pointed out in a clear tone: "The main point of the 'Climbing Technique' is that the distance between the dead knot and the dead knot on the rope is basically equal, and the closer you get to the end of the four-claw hook, the shorter the distance. This knotting method is specially designed for the process of depletion of the body of the climber. As for the 'Knotted Rope Notes', the distance between each dead knot is completely unequal."
Xue Wan raised her hand to show that she had understood.
In the process of "knotting the rope to remember", the ancients tied a knot in the rope in order to remember one thing. When he sees this knot later, he will remember it; If he had to remember two things, he tied two knots; Remember three things, and he will tie three knots, and so on. It's just that when the knots on the rope accumulate to a certain extent, the things that need to be remembered become confusing. As a result, many smart people tie knots with completely different distances, styles, tightness, and sizes, marking different events obviously. In other words, the more complex and varied the knot on a string, the higher the IQ of the person who tied the knot.
"I understand what you're saying, but I don't think you would have made up your mind to think about the use of those ropes even if you were in that uncertain situation." Xue Wan suddenly changed color, as if he thought of something terrible.
Ding Jun's heart was tingled by Xue Wan's frowning slightly, and he was afraid that she would be haunted by that terrible memory and couldn't bear to continue to ask.
The two stood silently, looking at the mural.
The specific location of the "Dadu River" is the root cause of Ding Jun's strange association and sigh. The crucial issue he figured out occurred in the spring and summer of 1935 in Mianning County, a region inhabited by the Yi people in Sichuan, which was the most critical battlefield for the Kuomintang government to encircle and suppress the Red forces.
At that time, the red forces were marching in the mountains between the Jinsha River and the Dadu River, and were surrounded and intercepted by hundreds of thousands of Kuomintang troops. After entering Mianning County, he was in harmony with the Yi brothers, and his advance regiment quickly seized the Anshun Ferry, first destroyed the pillboxes on the opposite bank with heavy artillery, and then sent 17 warriors to cross in a lone boat to attack the enemy defending the opposite bank. After that, Chiang Kai-shek, the supreme head of the Kuomintang, flew to the headquarters of the Sichuan army and quickly mobilized troops to attack Anshun Field on the left and right, in a vain attempt to take advantage of the red force to attack halfway and divide the opponent who crossed the river to encircle and annihilate it. Chiang Kai-shek, who had experienced a hundred battles and was proficient in the art of war, threatened to ask the red forces to repeat the mistakes of Shi Dakai of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the past.
The Dadu River is the place where Shi Dakai died, the water is turbulent and the terrain is precipitous, and without extraordinary wisdom, anyone would avoid this place because of Shi Dakai's death. On the one hand, he continued to create the illusion of wading in Anshun Field, and on the other hand, he set up another Luding Bridge as a forced crossing point, and sent another general, Liu Bocheng, to feint to attack Ya'an, so as to take Chengdu directly, confuse the Kuomintang army, and successfully transfer the 208th Brigade of the Sichuan Army that was holding the Luding Bridge. By the time Chiang Kai-shek realized the truth, the left force of the Red Force had already occupied the bridgehead, climbed thirteen volleying iron cables to the right bank, quickly routed the defending enemy, and won a complete victory in this battle like a war textbook.
The Dadu River, as Chiang Kai-shek envisioned, did not make the Red Power the second Shi Dakai.
When Ding Jun thought of the six words "the second Shi Dakai", a light suddenly appeared in his heart: "Is the first Shi Dakai really dead?" Chiang Kai-shek's 100,000-strong army was besieged and could not wipe out the red power of Tianyou Hengchang, and the so-called killing moat of the Dadu River had not become a 'dragon gate' for the red power to take off? Since it is the Dragon Gate, how can a strange person like Shi Dakai die and sit still? Chiang Kai-shek's metaphor for the red power of the 'second Shi Dakai' is not exactly the proverb of the defeat of the Kuomintang?"
