In the attic behind Hongmei Academy, Weng Bailing's eyes narrowed with a smile: "Master, when did you discuss the world system with Qin Gongzi?" "You little girl!" Liu Qin's gaze left the title of the book, and an inexplicable look appeared on his face, "The kid surnamed Qin is not a good one, even Duan Gongzi actually followed him to learn badly, but his topic is inappropriate, although Qin Xianao's astronomical thoughts are somewhat different from the "Theory of the Movement of Celestial Bodies", they are generally the same, if Qin Xianao is replaced by Cheng Yi, Sima Kong or others, it would be appropriate." ”
"Hmm. Weng Bailing nodded, "No, Cheng Yi and Sima Guang are old-fashioned, and they are incompatible with Duan Haifeng and your bad people, and they don't have to argue about concepts on weekdays, if they are written into the book, they will be too vicious and mean." ”
Liu Qin nodded slightly and opened the book curiously.
"The use of telescopes, especially with the maturity of glass production and the rapid development of optical knowledge, has promoted the continuous improvement of our understanding of the universe, and the ...... of telescopes" Liu Qin quickly swept the preface and turned directly to the text.
"February 18th, is the birth of Guanyin Bodhisattva, Qin Xianao and Liu Qin will be in Mingzhou Putuo Mountain for the 'Guanyin' birthday, nine days later, Sima Guang, Cheng Yi, Su Shi, Wang Anshi, a total of 49 people will be in the purple bamboo forest, and Qin Xianao discussed ......" at the beginning of the writing is the place where Liu Qin and Qin Xianao met.
"Master, didn't you say that last time everyone was busy arguing, Qin Xianao sneaked away?" Weng Bailing asked with a smile.
A smile appeared at the corner of Liu Qin's mouth: "This two bastards, Haifeng and Qin Xianhao, I don't know where I heard about the argument that day, and I wrote it into the book as if it was a matter of fact." Hmm......" Liu Qin's eyes widened as she looked at the text.
"Day one!"
Here's the first volume's speechless title, followed by the following line:
"Main speakers: Qin Xianao, Liu Qin, other secondary speakers: Cheng Yi, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, Su Shi and everyone in the purple bamboo forest. ”
And then the main text -
Liu Qin said: "Qin Gongzi, yesterday I told you that we would travel together in the mountains and rivers, and talk about morning glory and weaver girls in the peach blossoms, why did you release my pigeons? If it wasn't for an appointment with you. I was going to talk to Uncle Cheng Zheng, Wang Jiefu, and Sima Junshi about the way of celestial motion. ”
The corners of Liu Qin's mouth twitched, and her face turned a little dark. Weng Bailing tiptoed to see this sentence, his eyes were also very strange, although Liu Qin and several of their disciples laughed freely, but in front of outsiders could not say awe-inspiring and solemn, it was impossible to say such frivolous and ruffian words as 'release my pigeon'.
"This must be Qin Xianhao's bastard's idea. Liu Qin gritted her teeth, and the scene of Qin Chao pretending to be stupid and teasing her appeared in her mind when Jiuzhi Mountain saw Qin Dynasty for the first time. Liu Qin shook her head and threw memories in her mind. Read on, stare again, in the text-
Qin Xian said proudly: You can't blame me for this, the note you wrote to me simply wrote that you want to talk about the movement of the celestial bodies, what kind of poems to write, even if you write poems, you can just write a limerick poem, write so beautifully. Do it like a love poem, or a love poem. You wrote about what the 'Morning Glory and Weaver Girl' did, and this was not seen by my wife, who was a vinegar jar, and thought that I was a man with you after dusk, and the willow tops on the moon did something unseemly, and I have explained it to her. But she's ......."
"Liu Qindao: Okay, don't make such boring jokes with me, you know that I asked you to talk about the way of nature, and you know that in my "Theory of the Movement of Heavenly Bodies", the earth is a sphere ......."
......
Later generations of Galileo's original book "Dialogue" was promoted by dialogue, when Galileo wrote the original text of "Dialogue". It is not only for orthodox scientists, but also for ordinary people, so this book strives to be concise and powerful in the demonstration and discussion of the celestial system, and selects some very representative and easy-to-understand explanations.
In addition to the arguments that are simple and easy to understand, the words, especially the sentences of the dialogues, are also very witty, humorous and interesting, so the book "Dialogue" is not only a scientific book, but also a popular book, which occupies a very important position in the history of human culture.
At this moment, although the characters and even the words spoken in some places are different from the original work, the characteristics of the "Dialogue" written by the Qin Dynasty completely retain the style of the original work, so it is easy to get into the state when reading.
Liu Qin had a smile on her face from time to time, but her eyes became more and more solemn.
The old man on the rattan chair in the courtyard read the "Dialogue" in his hand, laughing from time to time at first, but gradually this laughter became scarce.
"There is no essential difference between heaven and earth. Cheng Yi's gaze occasionally froze, fell into contemplation, continued to look for a long time, and then fell into contemplation, and so on, his eyes sometimes showed a fine light, sometimes confused, sometimes shook his head.
In the study, Sima Guang had a calm face, sometimes reading, sometimes crossing the circle indoors with his hands behind his back, Wang Anshi, Su Shi, Zhao Tingzhi...... Reading this book "Dialogue" one by one, they were all smiling at first, but soon all smiles disappeared.
In the attic of Hongmei Academy, Liu Qin put down the book in his hand.
"His book, on the whole, is a deeper defense of the book "Theory of the Movement of Celestial Bodies", which generally seems to have no new content, but the details are ...... deep," Liu Qin sighed.
The smile on Weng Bailing's face also disappeared, and he nodded slightly: "The world system is an extremely large thing, just because it is too large, there are too many unknown factors in it, and the heliocentric theory is not recognized, the "Theory of the Operation of Celestial Bodies" has been well argued enough, but the controversy is still very great, and now with this "Dialogue", I am afraid it will be ......."
"I'm afraid that it will make the earth movement talk more people recognize. Liu Qin muttered to herself.
"Qin Xianao often said that what people are most afraid of is seriousness. Cheng Yi closed his eyes and lay on the rattan chair, "This book of "Dialogue" co-authored by Duan Haifeng and Qin Xianhao is to keep digging in the "Theory of the Movement of Celestial Bodies", if the well of astronomy is "The Theory of the Movement of Celestial Bodies" dug a thousand meters deep, then as soon as this book comes out, it is dug two thousand meters, three thousand meters, and it really digs to the bones, fortunately the soul is not dug up, otherwise it will ......"
"It's impossible to dig souls, no one can really dig souls. Otherwise, we mortals would be terrible. Yang Shi said in a low voice.
"Yes, according to Qin Xianao, touching the soul can infer phenomena that we can't observe according to theories, and can use data to predict the prophet. You Xing also sighed.
Cheng Yi closed his eyes and was silent, he really couldn't touch his soul?
"Ten years ago. The martial arts world is still a child, and in the blink of an eye, the Tai Chi Society has 60,000 catties of great strength, soul? Why do I always feel that this "Dialogue" seems to have touched the soul?"
In the study, Sima Guang had already put down the "Dialogue" in his hand, his fingers were regularly tapping on the table, and his eyes were shining from time to time.
"Father, this book is very good, it reads in one go. Sima Kang also put down the book on the side and said with emotion, "Don't talk about the content inside." As far as the story itself is concerned, it can be seen that Duan Haifeng is arguing with Qin Xian!"
"Duan Haifeng's talent has always been no less than Qin Xianao, Qin Xianao is vulgar and elegant, he can write novels like the Three Kingdoms, and he can also write difficult and obscure theoretical books like "Principles of Ethics", Duan Haifeng is only famous in the world on weekdays, and he is not good at vulgar novels, poems, literature, and stories. This time this book. Sima Guang glanced at Sima Kang, "He uses this tone to describe advanced astronomy. If he really did it vulgarly and elegantly, this was indeed a challenge to Qin Xianao. ”
"Well, this book can be read by ordinary people, and it can be read with relish. Sima Kang said with some emotion, "These people, just write in the vernacular." It's still ......."
"Duan Haifeng, Qin Xianhao, and Qin Xianao are all die-hard supporters of the new 'cultural movement', opposing the literary language and advocating concise and easy-to-understand vernacular. We refine the words and craft them carefully. Literature and history were written so that ordinary people could not read them, and later generations wanted to translate them, but they explained the scientific principles that ordinary people could not read. Sima Guang said in a low voice.
Sima Kang's face also became solemn.
If there were no articles by them, no poems, prose letters written in various literary styles, and even articles written by "Zizhi Tongjian", Duan Haifeng, and Qin Xianao, the style of this "Dialogue" seems to be nothing, but when it comes to comparison, the strong contrast is completely two extremes.
"What's the use of ordinary people reading with relish?" Sima Kang chuckled, "This martial arts world, this world still depends on the elite after all, only we will study the truth, ordinary people just read the story and have fun after dinner, they are flattering and throwing it to the blind." ”
"Really?" Sima Guang lowered his eyelids, "I always thought we were right, but Qin Xianao and Duan Haifeng are the world's masters, and their thoughts are ......"
Sima Kang laughed: "They are not gods, just like you are not right in the eyes of ordinary people, but don't you also be confused from time to time?"
"Who is right and who is wrong, let history witness it, but this book, the characters in the dialogue, the words are witty, even what I said in it......" Sima Guang thought of the role he played in the book, and the corners of his mouth twitched from time to time when he interjected.
"Duan Haifeng and Qin Xianhao made you a clown, but it's not just you who say some inexplicable jokes in it, everyone else is the same. Sima Kang laughed, "The most pitiful thing is that Qin Xianao has completely become a pedantic, simple-minded, and old-fashioned reckless man inside. ”
"He has witty dialogues here, and even idiot jokes appear from time to time, but the truth of natural science is deep, deep to the bones and souls, shallow, and shallow, this is a book that will take ten years to study. Sima Guang was silent.
"Ten years?"
Sima Kang glared, "Father, they've only been studying this for a few years? It's only three or five years, three or five years of research, a book written by hand, we have to spend ten years researching?"
"You read it a few times and look carefully at the various natural sciences that are talked about. Sima Guang's deep voice, "I said ten years, or less, if some things are studied thoroughly, they may not be able to pick up hundreds of thousands of points." ”
"Hundreds of thousands?" Sima Kang gasped.
"I mean, if it's correct, if it's studied thoroughly, hundreds of thousands of points will be there. Sima Guangdao.
"But this is also ......" Sima Kang became interested, and even opened the book again and began to read.
Sima Guang walked to the courtyard, looked at the sky and fell into deep thought, after all, the article "Dialogue", the text looks simple, but the connotation is profound, and every question is enough for them scholars to study a lot.
"No wonder!" Wang Anshi sighed lowly, "No wonder Duan Haifeng was anxious as soon as he saw that Qin Xianao's inner man Guo Shi had picked 120,000 points of astronomical longevity, what a book of "Dialogue", if this book had come out a few years earlier, I would not have been able to fight Sima Jun in optics, I would only study it." ”
"I understand, why Duan Haifeng and Qin Xianhao have been studying all this time, until Mrs. Qin Xianao picked the fruit and then threw out the book. Lu Gongzhu shook his head and stroked the book, "The content of this book is deep, and the content in the book is terrible, but there are too many things that should be studied." ”
......
Copernicus's "Theory of the Movement of the Heavenly Bodies" was a revolution in astronomy, but this revolution did not win, and it was the "Dialogue" of Gali that found conclusive evidence for Copernicus's doctrine in history, and only then did this revolution slowly move towards victory.
As a result, the Dialogue caused great fear in the Church at the time, and even put Galileo on trial, including life imprisonment, banning the publication of books and a series of other measures.
The Dialogues are powerful, and they must be strong, and the scientific content required to find convincing evidence for Copernicus's doctrine is enormous and important, and many of the scientific ideas mentioned in Galileo's Dialogues have had a significant impact on the development of the natural sciences, especially classical mechanics.
The book "Dialogue" confirmed Copernicus's doctrine with mathematical and scientific experimental methods, and his methodological value and influence were higher than that of knowledge - the combination of experimental methods and mathematical methods became the usual research method of later mankind.
Cheng Yi, Liu Qin, Sima Guang, Wang Anshi, Lu Gong, Su Shi...... After reading it once, the big guys fell into deep thought, and then read it again and thought about it again......
As for writing them as clowns in the book, none of them cared.
For ordinary people, this is a very interesting popular science book, and the attention to interest is far greater than the scientific truth in it, but for them, the 'Tao' in the book exudes a thousand lights, and has long covered everything else.
Cheng Yi, Sima Guang and others frantically studied this book, and at the same time, all the scholars in the martial arts world, and even those who practiced martial arts, were deeply shocked by this "Dialogue".
