Chapter 189 Actually, I'm a Poet (Part [-])
Writing a book is really not difficult for Fang Jun.
If he were to write a colorful article that satirizes the past and the present, or a heart-warming chicken soup for the soul, it would probably not work, but if he recalled the math textbook he made up when he was a student, it would just metabolize some more brain cells.
But he really wanted to do something.
Mathematics is the foundation of some sciences, which is common knowledge known to later generations, but in our ancient times, it was in the weakest position for a long time.
The Confucian masters and Chinese masters in history are full of pits and valleys, but mathematicians, physicists, and chemists are very few. Only a few people such as Zu Chongzhi can be named, and there are a few alchemists who pretend to be ghosts. Do some chemistry-related work, and nothing else.
This result is related to the selection system of feudal society.
The imperial examinations only tested the Four Books and Five Classics.If the imperial examination takes a pedicure, it is estimated that a group of pedicure masters will emerge, and the pedicure level will lead the world...
In fact, mathematics was once included in the imperial examinations during the Tang Dynasty.
Even now, there is also a "Ming Math Section" held every three years to select math talents.
After Li Zhi took office, he opened a specialized school of mathematics in the Imperial College, the "Mathematics Hall", recruiting 30 students, setting up a doctorate in mathematics and teaching assistants in mathematics to preside over the daily teaching work.In this way, there are six schools in Guozijian, namely Guozi, Taixue, Simen, Law, Calligraphy and Mathematics.
"Yao Dao" Li Chunfeng has also compiled ten Suanjing Sutras, namely "Zhou Bi Suanjing", "Nine Chapter Arithmetic", "Island Suanjing", "Sun Tzu Suanjing", "Xiahou Yang Suanjing", "Zhang Qiujian Suanjing" The Suanjing, the Suanshu, the Five Cao Suanjing, the Five Classics of Arithmetic, and the Ancient Arithmetic, collectively referred to as the Ten Books of Suanjing, are used as official textbooks.
Let mathematics be included in the imperial examinations, and you can become an official after passing the mathematics test. At that time, it can be said that it opened the world's atmosphere.
Although mathematics was not very developed at that time, but first put up the shelf, established an effective incentive mechanism, followed and developed to today, it is difficult to ensure that China will not become a major mathematics country, and then promote related scientific progress.What's more, several Nobel Prizes in mathematics and physics have been awarded.
But the strange thing is that in the late Tang Dynasty, the Mingshu examinations were stopped...
The subject of mathematics, which might have made great strides, came to an abrupt end in the land of China, and only a few folk mathematics enthusiasts have supported it since then.
The reason for the suspension is that there are too few test takers.
why?
Because the state has made a regulation, the official rank of Dr. Guozi is on the fifth rank, but the official rank of the doctor of arithmetic is from the ninth rank, which is the lowest level of the official rank.In the meantime, the School of Mathematics stopped and opened, and there was no continuity. The students also felt boring. The teacher is the sesame officer from the ninth grade, and the students have to hold back to the twenty grade? !
Just find another way out...
So the question is, why did the leaders of all dynasties not pay attention to science centered on mathematics, but only pay attention to the mysterious and mysterious Chinese and Confucian studies?
The reason is simple, because mathematics is useless for authoritarian regimes…
The same Chinese classics, you can understand it this way, I can understand it that way, every ruler can play it freely, use it for me, and turn it into a talisman of autocratic rule.
Astronomy is like that.
"Demon" Li Chunfeng is also an astronomer. He is good at mathematics and can read the stars. He can deduce from the celestial phenomena that Wu Zetian will usurp the throne in 40 years...
But is there a connection between the position of the stars and Wu Zetian usurping the throne?No, that's what Tianxiang said anyway...
The function of Guoxue is similar.
Why did ministers have to be loyal to the emperor?There is no reason, Confucius said so, Mencius said so, Confucian classics say so, you have to do it.
In contrast, mathematics is not good, because one plus one equals two, so I should be the emperor?This is outrageous.
For the sake of eloquence and power, the rulers have all pulled mathematics aside one after another...
It can be said that almost everything in our ancient times was bad on the ruler.
It's not that these rulers are too stupid, too short-sighted, and too superficial, on the contrary, it is precisely because they are too smart, too insightful, and too selfish. Power will stifle all hidden dangers that may affect the rule.
Didn't Emperor Wu of Han understand that Confucian scholarship could not grow food or weave cloth?
Didn't Kangxi know the power of firearms?
They all know, but precisely because they know, one of them chooses to support Confucian scholarship, and the other chooses to stifle the development of firearms...
This is the tragedy of the whole nation.
Fang Jun didn't think he could really change the world, and he could change the will of the ruling class by advocating a few slogans.
Although it won't be burned to death like some guys who advocate "the universe is infinite", it is not much easier to shake this long-rooted stubborn disease than a mayfly shaking a tree...
It is a reality that mathematics is abandoned by the whole society.
Therefore, Fang Jun wants to rectify the name of mathematics, not only from mathematics itself.
Before that, he needs to do something else.
Be famous...
In this era of face brushing and fame, fame is more reliable capital than real money. With fame, no matter what you do, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
**********
After breakfast, Fang Jun was enjoying the long-lost "chair" in the study, with a plan of "becoming famous and raising hope" in his mind, and a servant from Prince Wu's mansion came to him.
However, Anzhou is located in Southern Chu, and the climate is humid and cold in winter. Li Ke, who has been in Guanzhong for a long time, is not accustomed to the soil and water, and he fell ill a few years ago.When the Shangyuan Festival was approaching, the disease became more and more serious. His Majesty Li Er was worried and ordered the "Hundred Horses" to send someone to take Li Ke back to Chang'an for treatment.
Of course, this is an official statement.
As for what happened in private, it is unknown.
For this matter, Fang Jun was slightly disappointed.As a prince, it is rare to have the opportunity to stay away from the city and take charge of a place.
After tidying up, he changed into a set of Shu brocade dark-flowered brocade robes, with a futou on his head and a piece of suet white jade on his waist, and went out cleanly.
The carriage went west along the official road outside Xinfeng City.
There is no wind today, and the weather has warmed up. Fang Jun sat on the carriage and lifted the curtain of the car. Looking at the Chang'an City from a distance, he felt more of a grand and grand atmosphere. The gray and black city walls on the edge gave Fang Jun a heavy feeling with its vastness and majesty.
The Xiongcheng City is ten times larger than the West of the Later Times | An Old City. The Mingde Gate in front of it is about [-] feet high, and five broad gates with four carriages in each row stand side by side. Among them, the rivers are constantly flowing, but they each go their own way, and the meaning of prosperity is inexhaustible.
At that time, the sun was rising, and the endless rays of light were scattered on the endless city wall. The glazed gate tower on the city gate reflected the golden light of the road. At this time, the Chang'an in Tang Li's eyes suddenly turned into a magical realm that should only be seen in the fairy mountain. The city of revival gold that appeared in .
Although he has come in and out of this city gate more than once, he still can't stand the golden light and the vicissitudes and heaviness naturally generated in the ancient capital of many dynasties when he raised his head for a moment.After staring for a long time, he muttered to himself: "Chang'an, it really is Chang'an..."
It was in this city that His Majesty Li Er created the prosperous era of Zhenguan, and was revered by all ethnic groups in the world as "Khan of Heaven"; a few years later, the owner of this city was replaced by Yi Shi Feng | Liu, bringing the Tang Dynasty to the extreme. Li Jia Saburo of the prosperous world.
How many times the dynasties have risen and fallen, Chang'an has witnessed the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty; witnessed the rapid rise and demise of the Qiang Sui Dynasty; now, it is witnessing the rise and prosperity of Li Tang...
The weather is getting warmer, the cars in the city are like flowing water and horses are like dragons, and people are taking to the streets one after another.
There are many figures such as scholars, walking with a stern face and a serious face; there are also the children of the wealthy family in fresh clothes and angry horses, who roared away with a large group of servants, attracting the attention of passers-by; Turks dressed in light fur, braided hair, and black leather boots; Wutianzhu with earrings and shawls; and Central Asian Hu people in robes with small sleeves, embroidered patterns on leather caps and silk nets. However, the pedestrians were not surprised.
Fang Jun admired with great interest the charm of a prosperous Tang Dynasty that he could only see in the picture scroll in his previous life.
When the carriage arrived at the Wu palace, Fang Jun jumped out of the carriage and instructed the coachman to wait in the gatehouse, then under the guidance of the doorman, Xin stepped inside.
As soon as he entered the door, he was attracted by a coquettish call behind him and turned his head.
I love shooting cannons in my life, and I enjoyed it tonight, but it’s really expensive, and it’s all over for a few thousand dollars… The fireworks in the whole village have been going from [-] o’clock until now, it’s really cool!
