Chapter 440
Inside the Institute.
Zhao Wuxian flipped through "Dream Creek Writings" again, and this time he read it in more detail.
No doubt.
"Mengxi Writings" is definitely an "epoch-making" masterpiece and can become an enlightenment book for the emerging industries of the Great Song Dynasty.
It conforms to the trend of the development of the times, but it is buried due to the limitations of the times.
Zhao Wuxian mainly browses the articles of interest.
First, astronomy and calendars.
There are more than 20 descriptions of astronomy and calendar in "Dream Creek Writings".
He improved the armillary sphere, observed the celestial phenomena, put forward the theory of "twelve qi calendars", and carried out ~ calendar reform.
Second, geographical science.
There are more than 30 entries in the book involving physical geography, political and economic geography, surveying, and map making.
With his rich experience, Shen Kuo wrote articles on the evolution and identification of mountains and rivers and place names, which provided valuable information for the study of physical geography.
Shen Kuo's description of the production, marketing, operation and management of important products, important means of production and livelihood in various places.
Shen Kuo also inspected the unique topography and landform of Yandang Mountain, and pointed out after analyzing its causes.
"Originally, it should be because of the rush of the water in the valley, the sand is gone, and only the boulder stands upright. "
This view of "erosion by flowing water" is very correct.
Third, physics.
There are more than 10 descriptions in "Dream Creek Writings" involving optics, magnetism, acoustics and other fields.
Such as the correct description of "the principle of imaging and light focusing of the concave mirror of the sun".
Observation and analysis of the phenomenon of "string resonance".
In the case of "ancient casting", the relationship between the concave and convex surface of the mirror and the size of the image should be correctly handled and analyzed.
A correct deduction of the principle of the ancient miraculous translucent copper mirror.
The magnetization of an iron needle using a magnet is used to make a compass.
As well as the discovery, description and study of magnet polarity and magnetic needle incomplete guide (i.e., magnetic declination) phenomenon, all of which are of great research value.
Fourth, mathematics.
There are 7 notes in "Dream Creek Writings" that deal with mathematics, covering a wide range of topics and many creative ideas.
These include the gap accumulation technique and the circle technique pioneered by Shen Kuo.
The so-called "gap accumulation" refers to how to calculate the "stacking volume".
Shen Kuo used the methods of analogy and induction to put forward an accurate calculation method, and took the stacked wine jar as an example to illustrate.
In fact, Shen Kuo is based on the volume formula, and solves the cumulative number (series sum) of discontinuous individuals into a continuous whole value, which shows that he has the idea of using a continuous model to solve the discrete problem.
In the history of mathematics, he opened up the field of summation of higher-order difference series.
The so-called "circle technique" actually refers to the method of finding the arc from the string.
The main idea is to replace the curve with a straight part, and a more practical approximate formula is given for the arc-sagittal relationship of the circle.
There are also in the field of mathematical research and application.
A method on how to calculate the possible number of games in Go is proposed.
And noted.
"However, arithmetic does not suffer from learning more, it is simple to use, and it is complicated to change, it is also a general technique!"
This actually reflects his idea of being eclectic, diverse, and simplistic.
In Elephant Numbers, Shen Kuo denied the mystery of numbers and affirmed the relationship between numbers and things.
Furthermore.
The notes are about the method of measuring the water level difference of the Bianhe River, etc.
All of them reflect Shen Kuo's extraordinary mathematical talent and mathematical ideas of coordination and application from different aspects.
Fifth, biology.
There are more than 30 entries related to biology in "Dream Creek Writings".
Descriptions of animal and plant classifications, morphologies, etc.
A description of the geographical distribution of animals and plants.
Examination and description of a group of medicinal plants.
Research and description of paleontological fossils.
As well as the observation and analysis of the phenomenon of biological symbiosis and mutual restraint, etc., all have extremely high research value.
Sixth, music.
There are more than 40 music-related accounts in "Dream Creek Writings".
Shen Kuo is an expert in music and rhythm.
He has written books such as "Music Theory", "Musical Instrument Diagram", "Three Musical Scores", and "Music Rhythm".
The relevant entries in "Dream Creek Writings" are undoubtedly of great value in music research.
The theory of musical scales in music is studied and elaborated.
Some of the performance techniques and related terms of the music are recorded.
This paper describes Shen Kuo's research experience on Yan music in the Tang and Song dynasties, such as the origin of Yan music, the twenty-eight tones of Yan music, the structure and performance form of Tang and Song songs, and the notation of Tang and Song characters.
The shape, materials, distribution and evolution of some musical instruments are described and verified.
Seventh, appreciation of calligraphy and painting
There are nearly 30 entries describing calligraphy and painting in "Dream Creek Writings".
Shen Kuo is also an expert in the collection and appreciation of paintings and calligraphy.
He wrote "Picture Song".
In the form of songs and poems, the works and styles of more than 50 famous painters in Kyushu are evaluated, with concise language and unique perspectives.
Eighth, linguistics.
There are more than 30 entries in "Mengxi Writings" related to linguistics.
The content covers phonology, philology, and exegesis.
Shen Kuo's description of the origin of the method of "reverse cutting", the description of the "right text", and the phonetic and semantic debate of some characters are valuable materials for the study of linguistics.
Ninth, historiography.
There are more than 20 accounts in the category of historiography in "Mengxi Writings".
In addition, there are hundreds of descriptions about etiquette, officials, public opinion, imperial examinations, etc., which are of great reference value.
The tenth, medicine.
There are more than 40 descriptions of medicine in "Mengxi Writings".
Shen Kuo is also quite involved in medicine.
He put forward many important theories and views on the treatment of visual diseases.
Shen Kuo has widely collected, personally applied, and verified many medical prescriptions for a long time.
For different regions, different seasons, different production methods, etc.
The insights and discussions on the impact of the medicinal value of the medicine village are of great reference value.
Shen Kuo has made many "achievements" in medicine.
The refining method of "autumn stone" is described in detail in the "Good Prescription", which is the earliest preparation method for "extracting residual sex hormones".
The description of "Yaoshijing" in "Dream Creek Forgotten Records" is the earliest magnetization, mineralized water preparation method and so on.
Eleventh, engineering technology. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
There are more than 30 entries in Mengxi Writings that describe technological innovations and inventions in water conservancy and construction engineering.
Such as "Skillfully Blocking the River Embankment", "Steelmaking Law", "Gall Rock Copper Smelting", "Repairing Salt Wells", "Skillfully Building Docks" and so on.
In addition, "Mengxi Writings" also has discussions on military, chemistry, agriculture, and archaeology, which are worthy of study.
By the time Zhao Wuxian finished browsing these contents, it was already evening.
He closed the book and couldn't help but let out a long breath, admiring Shen Kuo.
Even if he is a person of later generations and has received systematic education and training, he will not be able to involve such a field.
The above content may only be the knowledge of elementary and middle schools in the future generations, but in this era, it is unbelievable.
Splitting the research content of "Mengxi Writings" can create at least eleven disciplines worthy of in-depth study.
Of course, "Dream Creek Writings" also has limitations and flaws.
The limitations of the times, environment, and thinking, as well as Shen Kuo's insufficient cognitive level, lead to some contents being unscientific.
But this unscientific nature itself is actually a process of scientific progress.
Ask questions, voice opinions, discuss, gain acceptance, or overturn conclusions and innovate.
0 begging for flowers
It's "science"!
Now the thoughts of the literati and scholars of the Great Song Dynasty need to have such a collision to stimulate sparks and there will be a change.
After all, Kyushu's thousand-year-old cultural heritage cannot be accepted all at once.
Even if it's in the history that Zhao Wuxian is familiar with.
It also experienced the Heavenly Empire and the humiliating event.
Only then did some people open their eyes to the incident, and various movements to study "razing and destroying the razor" were raised, and they gradually came into contact with new ideas.
Any change will inevitably bring conflict!
Zhao Wuxian did not hesitate to secretly support Fang La's uprising, which was to borrow his hand to get rid of the existing vested interests.
Those who prospered with the Great Song Dynasty, but only focused on family interests, scholars, wealthy families, and powerful people.
Only by replacing this group of people can it be considered broken and then established.
A Great Purge!
But that's just the beginning.
There is still a long way to go.
Fortunately.
Zhao Wuxian has absolute strength and abundant capital, which can support him to sketch the picture according to his own ideas.
Changing a person to do what he wants to do is definitely the way to die.
Zhao Wuxian had a lot of thoughts.
He stood on the tide of the times.
He can see the "future".
This kind of transformation of a dynasty and innovation of an era is tantamount to changing one's life against the sky and reshaping the world of heaven and earth!
"There is virtue in the Tai, followed by meritorious service, followed by words, although it has not been abandoned for a long time, this is immortal. "
What Zhao Wuxian is doing is an "immortal" event.
He doesn't care if it's successful or not.
His name will remain in the history of Kyushu and will be praised by future generations.
From the perspective of the "demand theory", at the level of Zhao Wuxian, the pursuit of nature is the highest level of demand.
Mind convergence.
Zhao Wuxian looked at Shen Kuo and said, "Mengxi Pen Talk" can be printed and published, but there are some places that need to be changed!"
Shen Kuo was pleasantly surprised.
Zhao Wuxian personally said that if it can be published, it will be published.
In these years, the engraving is expensive.
It's not that easy to publish a book.
He hurriedly said: "I will change what the prince says, I will change it!"
As long as it can be published, it can be edited or modified, and there is no problem.
Shen Kuo is not the kind of stubborn person.
After Zhao Xu ascended the throne, in order to please the new emperor, Shen Kuo specially painted and compiled the "Map of the Counties and Counties of the World" and presented it to the palace.
It can be seen that talent and character are two different things.
Otherwise, how could there be a verse: "Every time you slaughter more dogs, you will be more readers." "
Zhao Wuxian and Shen Kuo discussed.
The entries that Zhao Wuxian values are basically retained, and the entries such as "magical" and "strange things" are deleted.
Shen Kuo was very concerned about this and marked them one by one.
The lights are on.
After Shen Kuoxing rushed away.
A touch of white clothes entered lightly, but it was the concubine Xuan who brought a food box.
Because Huang Yaoshi entered the [Qi Tianlou] retreat, the concubine of the [Qishi Mansion] temporarily protected the research institute on his behalf.
The concubine Xuan was dressed in white like snow, wrapped in a graceful figure, covered with white gauze, and had a cold temperament, which had a unique charm.
"Lord Wang, please eat!"
Shi Fei Xuan put down the food box and turned around to leave.
Zhao Wuxian smiled and said, "Miss Shi, the beautiful scenery of a good day, let's have a drink together?"
The concubine looked back.
Her eyes were as calm as water.
"If the prince is interested, he can go to the master. "
Zhao Wuxian smiled.
"Miss Shi wants to go, but she may not be able to go!"
Shi Fei Xuan noticed that the surrounding environment was different, her beautiful eyes glared, and she said angrily: "Does the prince want to use force on me?"
Zhao Wuxian waved his sleeves lightly.
The snow silk on the concubine's body is like blowing clouds and fog, and it falls all over the sky.
