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

ps: You can skip this chapter and just talk about the Chinese calendar:

Our current lunar calendar, to be precise, should be called the lunar calendar.

How many days in a year, actually?

This matter has been known as early as the Shang Dynasty - there are 365.25 days in a year.

After the Han Dynasty, Zu Chongzhi made detailed calculations and determined that there are 365.2425 days in a day.

In the Yuan Dynasty, Guo Shoujing established 27 Sihai observation points, which once again verified Zu Chongzhi’s calculation data——

Among them, the northernmost one is in the west of the Baikal River in Russia, along the Angara River in the upper reaches of the Yenisey River; the other is in central Siberia, Russia, along the Tunguska River.

The farthest south is today’s Huangyan Island.

The farthest east is in Kaesong, North Korea.

The farthest west is in Wuwei, Gansu.

Finally, Zu Chongzhi’s conclusion was verified using field observations...

Guo Shoujing once again verified what the Chinese sages had already proven in terms of astronomy and calendar.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, Xing Yunlu, the great astronomical god, accurately determined the earth's revolution to 365.!

There is only a difference of two seconds from the current theoretical value.

There is an interesting thing about Xingyun Road.

Huang Zongxi has an original saying: "In Bingwu (1666), I saw Xing Yunlu's "Li Zong Tong Yi", and then I learned that Xing Yun Lu's "Lü Li Kao" contained all of them. Say, hide it as your own..."

Who covered up Xing Yunlu's research and took it for himself?

In 1666, the Qing court had pacified the world, and Jiangnan was massacred again and again. These wealthy gentry no longer got involved in politics and began to specialize in learning.

During this period (actually before, considering the delay in dissemination caused by the war), the most important event in the literary world was Tang Ruowang's change of the "Chongzhen Calendar" to the "New Western Calendar".

So, Huang Zongxi said these words!

Exactly, Xing Yunlu came to such a conclusion - "The movement of the stars and the moon are all connected by the energy of the sun."

Oh?

It seems to be heliocentric theory!

Wang Zheng, who also had good friends with Westerners, came to the same conclusion - "Every body wants to go straight down to the center of the earth, which is its original place." For example, a magnet attracts iron, and the iron nature is the same as that of a stone, regardless of the nature of the stone. It is above and below, left and right, and the iron must be there, this is the nature of it."

Huh?

Isn’t this the force of gravity?

Not long after the two men died, Galileo, who was being interrogated by the three courts, appeared.

The apple that hit Newton on the head also appeared...

……

Of course, whether it was the Ming Dynasty or the Song Dynasty, their research had been very complete as early as the pre-Qin period.

In fact, the more you know about Chinese classical culture, the more you will yearn for the Three Generations.

Especially in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it can be said to be the pinnacle of ancient China - whether it is culture or technology, future generations can only stand shoulder to shoulder, but no one can surpass it comprehensively.

For example, the astronomical gods Gan De and Shi Shen...

For example, the theory of traditional Chinese medicine "Huangdi Neijing"...

……

So, why did ancient China not use the solar calendar but adopt the lunar and solar calendar?

It's a long story.

The current solar calendar will differ by one day approximately every 3000 years.

The adoption of the chronology of the heavenly stems and earthly branches and the implementation of the leap month system can perfectly modify the difference between the solar calendar, which is dominated by the sun, and the lunar calendar, which is dominated by the moon.

"A Brief History of Laozi Hunyuan, Taishang" of the Southern Song Dynasty: "Fuxi Mude, who first created the calendar,... descendants have inherited it for 600 years."

Zu Chongzhi also said: "From Shangyuan Jiazi to Guimao (463 AD) in the seventh year of Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty, fifty-one thousand nine hundred and thirty-nine years have passed."

This is consistent with the actual objects that have been unearthed by archeology today.

Archeology has confirmed that evidence of Chinese ancestors growing food was found at the "Dadiwan" site 6 years ago. [Mainly millet. 】

This discovery confirms from the side that the Fuxi calendar recorded in ancient books does exist.

This means that the Fuxi calendar should be before the Jesus calendar.

Please note - archaeological and historical data have confirmed the records in ancient books!

Mighty and domineering sage, please accept my knee...

This is not "nonsense" on my part!

——The Chinese calendar of heavenly stems and earthly branches has lasted for 500 years.

In fact, the difference is not just the time of each orbital year of the earth.

Since the birth of the earth, its revolution speed has been getting slower and slower.

In other words, a year in ancient times was longer than it is now.

This point has been discovered by the sages as early as the pre-Qin period.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, Yang Zhongfu clearly stated in the "Tongtian Calendar": "The years are bigger in the past and smaller in the present."

What does it mean? Yang Zhongfu said that a year on earth was long in ancient times but short now!

Modern technology has once again confirmed this!

The earth's revolution speed and rotation speed are getting slower and slower.

There are many explanations on this issue in science and technology magazines. If you pay a little attention, you will understand.

Some people say that I am a "Western pseudo-historian" and they don't want to read it...

A little slap in the face.

With such a personality, being slapped in the face by a real person makes it even more fun!

Sorry, I spent another day doing blind research...

Well, I'm "watery".
