Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Speaking of this zodiac, we have to mention two people-Gande and Shi Shen!

Both of them were from the Zhou Dynasty and the Warring States Period, and were the earliest astronomers on earth.

There are only five craters on the moon named after Chinese people, and one of them is Shi Shen!

Gan De, a native of Chu, now from Hubei. Shi Shen was a native of Wei State and now a native of Henan.

How awesome are these two people - they accurately located the positions of 138 galaxies and 810 stars!

Of course, most of them have been lost.

Today, only the positions of 121 stars determined by two people remain.

How accurate are the positioning of these 121 stars left behind - even with current scientific methods, there is no way to find the slightest difference!

The two accurately calculated the time it takes for the sun to move around once a week, 365+1/4 days, and accurately calculated Jupiter's satellite Ganymede...

These two people, together with Wu Xian, established the classic star officer system of 283 star officers and 1464 stars in ancient my country!

These two people are in the history of world astronomy. Please note, they are figures that must be talked about in astronomy in most countries around the world, including Britain and the United States!

(Universe Han doesn’t know and has never studied their history books.)

……

Of course, there must be some anti-human things to say - since the two of them are so awesome, why are there such big differences in the number of days in each year according to the lunar calendar?

Having said that, the lunar calendar must be renamed:

As we all know, China is 5000 years ahead of the world, not only in comprehensive technology and humanities, but also in territory.

At the same time, China's territory is the area with the most frequent disasters in the world!

So what is this natural disaster related to?

Earth's place in the universe!

Yes, you read that right, the lunar calendar is based on the earth’s position in the universe!

The twelve zodiac animals, the 60-year cycle, and the 24 solar terms are all related to this.

For example, there is a farmer's proverb for the twelve zodiac signs - no harvest in three years, half harvest in three years, half harvest in three years, and full warehouse in three years!

As for Jiazi - the lunar calendar uses the heavenly stems and earthly branches to record the years: there is a farmer's proverb: C is delicious, D is sad, dragons and snakes will starve without food!

To be more specific, take cotton cultivation as an example. In areas without irrigation:

Among the twelve zodiac signs, those in the Year of the Dragon and the Year of the Snake, which basically rely on the weather, have the lowest cotton production.

This is the farmer's proverb: "No flowers will be harvested in the Year of the Snake, but nothing will be harvested in the Year of the Dragon!"

Of course, except for old farmers, young people no longer know how to farm. No reader should know these farmers' proverbs.

Friends who live in the village can ask the old people if they have such a saying.

There is an even more bizarre method:

On New Year's Eve, look up at midnight (around 24 o'clock) and look up at the sky. The sky is full of stars. If there is no water to irrigate the ground, the New Year's cotton will basically be poor. If there are few stars in the sky, there will definitely be a bumper cotton harvest in the New Year!

(Don’t think this is superstitious. Ten years ago, my family was still farming, so we relied on watching the stars on New Year’s Eve. In addition, we don’t grow cotton in the Year of the Dragon and Snake. My family has been growing cotton for more than 20 years and has never seen a decrease in production!

My hometown is all dry land and depends purely on the weather for food. There is not even a river that can water the land during drought.

Do you think this is superstitious? )

It's gone too far.

The reason why I say this is to prove a truth. Generally speaking, disasters on the earth are related to the earth's position in the universe.

If you study history, you will understand one thing: at certain intervals, disasters must occur frequently on the earth.

There is something that almost everyone knows about - the Little Ice Cycle.

During the Little Ice Age of the [-]th century in the late Ming Dynasty, European oil paintings showed the Thames River and people skating.

This thing is related to the earth's position in the universe.

However, on a small scale and within a city, the temperature is related to reinforced concrete buildings, and of course, large areas of glass.

Building cities on plains not only competes with farmland for land, but also has the disadvantage of increasing temperatures!

Zhu Youjian naturally understands that the fast construction mode of reinforced concrete and the terrifying land utilization efficiency of high-rise buildings are the future development trend.

The simplest truth is that if a land covering an area of ​​2000 square meters has only one floor, it can accommodate at most a few hundred employees.

If it is built into a high-rise building, the number of employees it can accommodate will be related to the number of floors, not the land area!

Equal resources and higher output are the basis for a society and a country to develop rapidly.

If that is the case, is it a contradiction between human development and nature that cannot be compromised?

Zhu Youjian believes that there is a second way!

Move the cities that compete with farmland for land to the mountains!

Of course, this is not possible for mountains as large as [-] mountains, where transportation costs have doubled.

But why not the small mountainous areas like these on the edge of the Nanyang Basin?

Take the mountainous area that Zhu You designated as the new capital - the valleys are interconnected and separated from the plains by a thin line. It is nothing more than the cost of building roads in the early stage!

It’s nothing more than a little increase in construction costs!

The mountain is not very high, rising no more than 200 meters from the ground, and the road is not very dangerous. As long as the road extends along the valley, everything is interconnected!

Building the land-devouring cities in such a place is the long-term solution!

Leaving a piece of clean fertile soil for crops and a piece of land that is easy to cultivate for the people is what an emperor should consider!

(I saw the comments. Some people said that you are a local and the capital of the country is located in your country. Why are you so worried?

I just want to say that I have written seven or eight history books...

The capital is Shandong, yes! The capital is Shaanxi, yes! The capital is Hebei, yes! Those whose capital is Jiangnan are the same! There are even those with a capital in the southwest!

Can my household registration be changed like this?

To put it bluntly, the reason why this book is so research-based and has such a reasonable layout is purely because this book is - I have no intention of making money! When we started the book, we and I agreed that writing a book that Tomato didn’t have would be an explanation for myself in writing history for so many years.

Of course, I have written more history, read more about various issues, and become dissatisfied and angry...)

……

Zhu Youjian and Song Yingxing walked together, walking slowly along the street beside the dock.

Along the way, ordinary people stopped one by one, stood on the roadside, and bowed to avoid it.

One by one, the brave people even sent out greetings to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, have you eaten yet?"

Zhu Youjian smiled and nodded, waving to the people to respond. Occasionally, when he met an older man, he stood still and replied:

"I have eaten. Have you eaten?"

After receiving the emperor's response, the common people's faces seemed to relax, and their wrinkled faces turned into chrysanthemums with smiles:

"Hey! Hey! The little old man has eaten. Your Majesty, please go slowly!"

Song Yingxing looked at this scene in surprise.

The emperor is very popular among the people in this area!

He had no idea that when Zhu Youjian visited the village where the refugees were resettled a few days ago, all the people wearing patches of patched clothes and even their faces were full of food, and everyone was holding up a nest of mixed noodles that they could not bear to eat. Wotou, I want to dedicate it to Zhu Youjian...
