technical type

Ji Mo was very interested when he first heard about "Tian Xing's order". Humans always have greater enthusiasm for mysterious and unknown things. It's like two math problems, one is What has been done, known process and answer, one needs to think, unknown process and answer.It must be the latter that affects more minds than the former.

Regarding this aspect, since they are all members of the Ji family, there is nothing unknowable. Ji Mo has heard some from Ji Changwei. This "celestial star's destiny" is very similar to the fortune-telling school, similar to every star in the sky. For a person, the position of the star, the orientation and changing rules of several stars will affect the person's life trajectory and fortune.

Wealth, fortune, fortune, status, disease, misfortune, brothers, husband and wife, children...everything in life is included in it. Based on these, a chart can be drawn, and based on deduction and calculation, you can tell a story about the changes in this person's life. Seven seven eight eight, generally not bad.

In short, it seems to be more sophisticated and more technical than those methods such as palmistry and fortune-telling.

"These are trails, don't get distracted by these things."

Ji Changwei was afraid that Ji Mo would go astray, so he taught him earnestly to make him listen to his grandfather more and not to narrow his path too.

"It sounds amazing to me, why Xiaodao?"

In the imperial court, the weddings and funerals of the members of the royal family are all calculated by Si Tian to monitor an auspicious time. This kind of calculation is generally classified as "the star's order", excluding the almost solidified calendar time measurement , Si Tianjian is more present in these aspects, why is he so underestimated by the Ji family?

Ji Mo really doesn't understand this aspect. How did this kind of value concept come into being?Is there any reason?

"Astrological changes have the greatest impact on the big aspects. A person is so insignificant, how can he use the stars to carry out his orders?"

Ji Changwei's words are a bit taboo, the royal family members are "insignificant", it can be seen that "little princes", with this attitude, even this kind of "star order" that can serve the royal family members has become a "small way".

"Oh."

Ji Mo dragged his long voice, trying to understand it from the perspective of Ji Changwei. The Ji family members knew that Ji Changwei was incompetent, but Ji Changwei never had any feelings of inferiority. , are quite arrogant.

It's like "the truth is in my hands, and I can say it or not according to my will." Serving for the Sitianjian is called serving the court and the royal family. Inheritance, and thinking about the two hundred years of the imperial court, it seems needless to say which has the longest history, and this kind of history is so long, just like people's generations, it makes sense when they are old.

What's more, the Ji family's ability is really powerful, those members of the royal family, in this aspect, are absolutely inferior to the Ji family.

Well, my family has a long history, I'm proud, I'm proud, I just look down on those grassroots royals!

Ji Mo didn't bother with this topic anymore, and formally studied with Ji Huan the next day. The box of "textbooks" and "homework" he got can be understood as learning in his spare time, and he, Then you have to follow Ji Huan before and after, and start to be a boy who is not in the making.

Si Tianjian’s daily work includes stargazing at night, recording, summarizing and compiling calculations during the day. Star officials at each level draw pictures of the astrology they observe and summarize them at the higher level. The star map is fused into one map, and after confirming that it is correct, it will be summarized at the next level. In this way, the final thing that is handed over to Ji Huan is a large star map. He will arrange and summarize these star maps according to the star regions they belong to, and compare them. Whether there is any change from the previous day's star chart, whether there is any change from last year's today's star chart, which stars have disappeared, which stars have appeared, which stars' positions have been deflected, and what is the reason for the pointing.

For this reason, occasionally it is necessary to check the history and find some historical materials to find out what major events happened on the day when the star map changed, as a reference.

Such major events for reference can be geological disasters, such as landslides, ground cracks, mudslides, subsidences, cracks, etc., or some natural disasters, such as how many days of continuous rainfall, how many days of drought, how many days of floods, What's more, there is the date when the locust plague occurred. Compared with these records, and then based on certain data, calculations are made to finally determine whether the changes this year lead to the same disaster, and when it will happen.

The most detailed part is hydrology, how much water is taken at a certain depth of a certain river, and its turbidity is recorded as the basic data, so as to prove the possibility of disasters such as floods and mudslides that may occur.

The first time Ji Mo saw the data arranged almost as well as modern charts, he only had to give his thumbs up. Many traversers can show their power as soon as they arrive in ancient times. What kind of charts and statistics are they? It seems that the ancient people didn't know anything. If they read the materials here at Sitianjian, they would know about science and so on. It was never the word that came before those things.

They have been doing it, and they are doing it very well. It can be said that unless the more advanced modern instruments are brought here for more detailed calculations, otherwise, what these people in the Sitianjian are doing is really human-sighted. It's extreme.

Ji Mo, a boy, followed around, all he could do was to help open the scroll, help find a certain piece of information, and help report the location of the stars when Ji Huan needed it.

When it comes to the position of the stars, it is really not random. The 28 constellations outside Sanyuan are also called Sixiang, and the star officials in charge are called Sixiang star officials. The large star area is displayed on the icon, and the position of this star area is not out of proportion.

The huge piece of silk that can hang on a wall is interspersed with silk threads of different colors at regular intervals to form a grid. Every star added later may not necessarily be stuck at the nodes where the latitude and longitude threads interweave. However, it has to be said that with such longitude and latitude lines, the general positions of these stars can be determined more accurately.

The distance between each star is based on visual inspection. Ji Mo has seen a star official standing directly in the distance, squinting one eye, spreading his index finger and thumb, stretching out a length, and then reporting loudly. The position indicates the distance between the rulers, and the person in front of the silk will adjust the position of the star.

Each star is divided into different star regions and marked with gemstones of different colors. Gem pins can be directly nailed to the wall through the silk. A long rod is used to pull out and re-pin the gem push pin. The end of the long rod is a magnet, and the push pin is made of iron. It is easy to pull out. If it is nailed again, another long rod is needed to assist to ensure that the position remains unchanged.

After each movement, the person holding the pole will step back to give way to the position of the star map. After checking by Rong Xingguan, and confirming that there is no problem, the update of the star map is considered complete this time.

Looking at the silk star map in front of me from a certain distance, it is as if the sky has been directly moved indoors, scaled down to the exact same degree.

Similarly, such a star map will be left on the large paper that can be flattened on four tables, and then rolled up as data storage, and will be pulled out for comparison and calculation when necessary.

Hehe, it's true that the ancients didn't know the scale?

Ji Mo looked at those star maps, only dumbfounded, even if it was him, it was impossible to do better, maybe he would mark the name of the star next to it?

In the Sitianjian, there is such a pair of stone carvings, which are also star charts, and the names of the stars are marked. To be honest, looking at those names that look like stars, Ji Mo has only one thought, these astrologers are all geniuses!

There are more than [-] stars, each of which has its own name, and according to its location, it is not easy to form a system with the names of the surrounding stars.

I don't know if there was any quarrel when the name was first named, how is the name decided now, and what are the specific meanings?

These are the things Ji Mo needs to learn.

At this moment, looking at the star map, Ji Mo was shocked, as if he had returned to the situation when he faced the medicine cabinet on the first day. Contact properties of objects.

Now, it makes no difference.

Unknowingly, it seems that at the beginning of a skill, you always need to memorize a bunch of relevant knowledge content before you can continue to learn. This kind of threshold-"My memory is still quite good."

I don't know if I should be thankful for this, otherwise, I'm afraid the study time will be infinitely extended due to poor memory.

In the Si Tianjian, there are quite a few boys like Ji Mo. They are all the next generation of the astrological family, and they were brought here to be influenced by their ears. They started as boys, but they didn't need to serve tea and water, but serving pen and ink was indispensable. Yes, after gradually leveling up, the mastery of the basic knowledge is richer, and you can name a star at will, and you can know where the other party is and what kind of operation law it is, then you can upgrade to an assistant and start to be responsible for some calculations. .

The specific content of these theoretical classes is taught by the teacher after work. When they are in Sitianjian, they only need to do what they can do. According to their own learning progress, the things they can do are also different. , are almost the same age, seeing what others can do and what they can’t do, they will naturally have a sense of comparison and competition in their hearts, and they will work hard secretly in their "after school" time to form a good learning atmosphere.

Of course, there is also pressure. There are those who are at a loss and have their relatives by their side. They will not cry, but if they do something wrong, they are in a hurry, and they will have to be taken home for a meal of fried pork with bamboo shoots. Above all, the weak are eliminated, even if it is a family of astrology, if there is someone who is really unbearable, they will be excluded from the inner circle and gradually reduced to the bottom line.
