Chapter 121: Su Wang Calendar
As everyone left, Luo Chang closed his eyes slightly, feeling the Heavenly Destiny artifacts stored in his body in different colors, and the surging power contained in them, making Luo Chang have a feeling of being able to destroy the world from time to time.
In fact, the idea of establishing Luo Mo was not only inspired by the Mo family, he had always wanted to establish a secret organization, and the model of the Mo family gave him inspiration.
Among the Mandate of Heaven artifacts, there are two items: [Heavenly Soldiers: Train an Invincible Legion of 3,000 people a month] and [Guardians: Summoning 10 Guards with 80 Strength].
Compared to the Heavenly Mandate Artifact that calls for wind and rain at every turn and snow falls in June, these two Heavenly Mandate Artifacts don't seem to be so powerful.
Especially for the current Luo country, these two props are relatively frivolous.
Although the Luo Guodare warrior is not as powerful as the army created by the artifact, and the training time is far more than the artifact, the effect is a weakened version of the heavenly soldier.
The Heavenly Soldier is a Xuan-level artifact, which is relatively precious, and the guard's work is even smaller, just summoning 10 loyal warriors, and I don't know how many killer assassins there are in the dark side of Luoguo, so this artifact is even more useless.
But when he began to think about turning the country into his home, and Luo Clan could no longer legally own a large number of troops, Luo Chang discovered the strength of these two artifacts.
The Heavenly Soldiers, in just one month, can completely distort reality and train an all-round army with a constant and full morale, the Guard, and can create the most loyal dead soldiers.
Following this line of thought, the establishment of Luo Mo is to train a weakened version of the Heavenly Soldiers and Guards in reality, which is definitely incomparable with the Heavenly Mandate Artifact, but it is not limited to three thousand and ten people, and the quality is a little worse is acceptable.
Luo Mo began to draw people from the dark side of Luoguo, and at the same time, the research on the bright side also began, and Luo Guo had been studying astronomical mathematics, which was one of Luo's core skills.
In the country of Luo, there is a very wide field of vision, every night time, there are many people here to look up at the starry sky, there are also a lot of stone pillars and copper pillars here, carved with a lot of measurements, now the country of Luo is studying the calendar, is here to observe the sun and the moon.
Luo Chang came here with a group of people, because a new calendar was about to be born, which was an important event enough to go down in history, so he brought the historian as well.
How important is the calendar? It almost represents the astronomical and mathematical height of an ancient civilization, especially for agrarian peoples, and affects the course of the entire civilization.
Since ancient times, human beings have liked to look up at the starry sky, and the sun and the moon are the two closest to human beings among the stars, and they are also the two that have the greatest impact on human life.
Whether it is the Xia or the barbarians, countless countries and tribes have the custom of sun worship and moon worship.
Countless ancestors have turned their strange and magnificent imagination into a series of myths gathered on the sun and moon, becoming totems and beliefs.
The Taiyi god system of the Chu people worships the sun extremely, and Dongjun, who represents the sun god, is second only to the supreme god of Taiyi in the mythology of Chu, and this lofty status is rarely matched among the nations.
The calendar is the summary of the laws of the sun and the moon of human beings.
Since ancient times, people have found that when the sun and the moon appear in different positions, the spring, summer, autumn, winter, day and night of the world will change with the change of the sun and moon.
The stone pillars standing on the ground have different shadows from the sun every day, and the ancestors knew that this was because the sun was far away from the earth, and when it was close, it was summer, and when it was far away, it was winter.
The sages recorded the time when the sun changed seasons and called it "year".
The change of the moon is even more obvious, it always changes from a crooked tooth to a full moon, and the people of the earth believe that this regular beauty must contain the will of God.
The sages also recorded the cycle of the moon and called it "month".
This is the solar calendar and the lunar calendar, and through the study of the solar calendar and the lunar calendar, countless functions are extended from them.
The first is the "New Year's Month" full of political connotations!
Since the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, they have revised their own calendars and established their own New Year, and Yin Shang and Bang Zhou have established their own calendars and established their own New Year.
However, when these calendars appeared, due to lack of experience or problems with calculation methods, there were naturally inaccuracies.
The difference in the number of days between the solar calendar and the lunar calendar will lead to a change in the seasons of the first month, which is a serious political disaster, and the beginning of the year must be in spring, and if it is in winter, it is a major political failure.
The fallacy of the solar calendar can lead to errors in the agricultural time set according to the calendar, agriculture is the foundation of the world, and farming is the most important thing, and there is no one.
Once the agricultural season is missed, the impact on the entire Zhuxia nation is great, so it is the urgent desire of all countries to revise the calendar.
But revising the calendar is not a simple matter, and the usefulness of the calendar changes with the change of geographical location.
For this kind of major event that can demonstrate orthodoxy, promote fame, and also affect the affairs of Zhuxia farming, Luo's, which has many talents, is naturally the best.
Therefore, the children of the Luoguo Gong Office observed the sun and the moon day and night, found the rules of the sun and moon changes, and then recorded these rules to form a calendar that can guide the agricultural time and accommodate the first month of spring.
This calendar has undergone several generations of revisions, from the Zhou calendar to the most important countries in the Central Plains to guide the agricultural time, and has achieved great success.
After the test of time, it has been proved that the error of this calendar is extremely small, and Rock's finally decided to make the calendar public.
In order to make this calendar, the astronomical skills and numeracy skills within the Rocks were far ahead of the other nations.
"Brother, according to the practice of these years, this calendar can basically make a very accurate calculation of agricultural hours, and the farmland planted according to the solar terms of the new calendar in recent years has obviously increased the yield compared with the solar terms of the old calendar.
Basically, there is no delay in agricultural time.
Now it is even possible to predict the changes of the stars, and I can say unceremoniously that this is the most accurate calendar that has ever appeared, and that if you want to be accurate in the future, you will have to rely on more advanced mathematical knowledge. β
With his own strength, he can master the laws of the operation of heaven and earth, and even the laws of the changing stars, which is the favor of God, how can he not make Luo's proud.
Although it is really cool to have the old ancestor covered, but always live in the shadow of the old ancestor, the more you look up, the higher the position of the old ancestor stands, which makes the Luo family sometimes discouraged.
"Brother, this calendar is groundbreaking, and it should have a resounding name, so that everyone in the world can pay attention to it, why don't you call it Suwang Calendar?"
King Su is the belief of all Luo's children, and the calendar, a sacred object that communicates with the heavens, is naturally named after King Su, and only in this way can everyone continue to look up to King Su.
Luo Chang pondered for a while and said: "King Su is supreme, the calendar comes from the sky and the sun and the moon, it is not bad to juxtapose King Su and the sky, but the key is that the completeness of this calendar can take the name of King Su." β
All those who bear the name of the king are not easy to pass down through the ages, can this calendar do it?
"Brother, I am aware of your concerns, and the current calendar is very accurate.
The past calendar will be wrong after a while, and although this calendar in the family will also have this problem, the time may be at least hundreds of years later.
With the passage of time, the calendar will inevitably deviate, which is inevitable, but there is no need to worry, as long as it is readjusted and corrected according to the method of mathematics.
Since the birth of the calendar, there must be a special child in the family to take over the revision of the calendar.
Whenever the calendar starts to deviate, it should be written down immediately and spread everywhere.
Let all the nations that use this calendar adjust in time so as not to delay their nations' agricultural time. β
Luo Guo created this calendar, naturally not to stay alone in Luo Guo, the calendar is to pass the world, and then every time the time is adjusted, it will be a major event that shakes the world.
With the importance that each country attaches to the astronomical calendar, the family that masters astronomy can be valued in any vassal state, which is another layer of Luo's heritage.
"Since there is a method of amendment, it is called the Suwang calendar, and this calendar will be handed over to you after that, and the 'Qin Tianjian' of Luoguo will be in charge of you, and then the children of the public office will be selected by you to inherit the position of 'Qin Tianjian Zheng', which will be passed down from generation to generation."
In just a few months, there have been two branches within the Luo family, "Luo Mo Giant" and "Qin Tian Jian Zheng", and it is foreseeable that the Luo Guoyan family will begin to hold different internal positions in different categories.
ββββ
As one of the important branches of astronomy, our ancient Chinese calendar achievements are also amazing, let us once again set our eyes on the Luo country more than 2,000 years ago.
The birth of the Suwang calendar is epoch-making, it is the world's earliest lunisolar calendar, combining all the advantages of the solar calendar and the lunar calendar, and its error is so small that it far exceeds other lunisolar calendars that appeared after 1,500 years.
In particular, Rock's continuous adjustment of the Suwang calendar has made it so that more than 2,000 years later, even after entering the modern society, the world is still using this extremely ancient calendar.
It's hard to believe that it was created by the ancients more than 2,000 years ago, but considering that it was born in the legendary country of Luoguo, all this has a reasonable explanation. ββHistory of the Development of Science and Technology in Ancient Times
Now it's two lines pushed together, one is the war between the nations, and the other is the country of Los Angeles, I hope you like it.
PS: This chapter is really difficult to write, much more difficult to write than the war that pushes the plot, I hope you can like it.
