"Is this really good?
We are Taixue disciples, this move is too rude, if it is found out "Taichang Temple, Chu Shaosun is a little nervous, looking left and right for fear of being discovered.Kuang Heng, on the other hand, had already carried the ladder and climbed to the roof of the house where they lived, and looked back and smiled: "Wei Xiaoweng has moved to Lingnan to the left, and he is too often absent, who will take care of us?"
”What's more, compared to what a sin he was guilty of climbing on the roof to look at the stars compared to when he was young.After Chu Shaosun was also half-pushed and half-pulled up by Kuang Heng on the spot, the two carefully stepped on the black tiles and sat down on the middle ridge of the roof.Kuang Heng pointed to the Tai student dormitory on the left and right and smiled at the worried Chu Shaosun: "Look, there are many people who are quietly lying on the roof. ”Chu Shaosun saw that sure enough, the young people climbed the roof in the hope of seeing more clearly, and there were many doctors and doctoral disciples in the courtyards and open spaces everywhere, pointing at the gradually darkening sky.According to Geng Shouchang's prediction, the five stars will gather in the near future, and they will come to see this once-in-a-century grand occasion every day.This scene is very similar to the childhood, on the sweltering summer nights, children often stared at the bright starry sky with wide eyes, and some people even tried to count the stars, but eventually fell asleep.Only a very small number of people can know the operation of this mysterious galaxy when they grow up."
What is a five-star?"
Chu Shaosun is one of them, he loves historiography, and one of the great responsibilities of a historian is to record the movement of the sun, moon and stars, which he naturally knows better than Kuang Heng.Chu Shaosun pointed to the sky and found out the stars that were moving all the time."
Dongfang Muye, its emperor is too bright, its Zuo Jumang, the rules and the rule of spring, its god is the year star, its beast Canglong, its sound horn, its day A B.""
Southern Huoye, its emperor Yandi, its Zuo Zhu Ming, ruling the summer with balance, its god is Yingfu, its beast Vermilion Bird, its sound signs, and its day Bingding.""
The central soil is also, its emperor Yellow Emperor, its Zuohou soil, holding the rope and ruling the Quartet, its god is the town star, its beast Huanglong, its sound palace, and its day Wuji."
There are only three of them, Chu Shaosun said with a smile: "Chenxing and Taibai Xing come out late, and they will only appear at dawn." ”"The northern water is also, its emperor Xuanxuan, its Xuanming, ruling power and governing winter, its god is the star, its beast Xuanwu, its sound feather, and its sun is none.""
The Western Jin Ye, its emperor Shaoyao, its Zuo Bei, the rule of autumn, its god is Taibai, its beast is the white tiger, its sound quotient, and its day Gengxin."
This is the five stars, as early as the Spring and Autumn of the Yin Zhou Dynasty, the heavenly officials and witches who look up at the starry sky every day have already discovered the uniqueness of these five planets, so they are specially pointed out, opposite to the five elements.However, the heavens and the earth turn, the sun and the moon pass, and the five stars are difficult to gather, can they really gather in Dongjing recently, as Geng Shouchang said?
On the first day of Geng Shouchang's prediction, the five stars did not gather.After nightfall the next day, on the top of the Shiqu Pavilion of Weiyang Palace, there was also a group of people looking at the galaxy, but it was Xiao Wangzhi, Gong Yu and others.Liang Qiuhe has been soaking in the Shiqu Pavilion for several days, consulting past records with the heavenly officials and Taishi in the vast collection, trying to calculate the trajectory of the five stars with the calculation chip, and is so busy that he does not eat or sleep."
How?"
When Liang Qiuhe went up to the top of the pavilion, Xiao Wangzhi was very concerned, but Liang Qiuhe just shook his head: "It's completely different from what I calculated." ”The knowledge of the Han people has made great progress compared with ancient times, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Sima Qian, Deng Ping, Fang Shi Tangdu, Bajun Luohong and other experts who knew the most about the celestial stars in the world to gather and formulate a calendar, and finally chose Deng Ping's calendar as the Taichu calendar.Everything is based on celestial observations: the primordial calendar runs 28 nakshatras for one week in the 12th year of the lunar calendar, which is also the origin of the 12 earthly branches.And the year star runs one twelfth degree a day, which is the origin of the twelve hours.Every 12 years orbit a week, which gives the year 365 and a quarter of a degree, which is why the year is 365 days.To compensate for the error, there is a leap month.Although Liang Qiuhe is a god stick, as a prophet, he also needs to have some heavenly knowledge to eat this rice bowl.He no longer thinks that a solar eclipse or a lunar eclipse is a tengu eating the moon, and he can even manually calculate the trajectory of the sun and moon to accurately predict which day the solar and lunar eclipse will occur, but the time is not accurate.However, because the theory of the ram spreading the sense of heaven and man has occupied the mainstream, the heavenly officials and Confucian scholars still have to say that this is a disaster and use it to scare the emperor and the world.In ancient times, there was only a fraction of a centimeter between science and theology.Liang Qiuhe also has a book called Wuxing Zhan in hand, which was written by the Han Emperor, and it is said that the author is Jia Yi, who divides the auspicious and evil fortune with the abnormality of the five-star line and the changes in the cloud, qi and star wisdom.It is copied from the whole silk silk, about 8,000 characters, the first half is the five-star occupancy, the second half is the five-star line table, according to the observed scene, in the form of a list of records from the first year of Qin Shi Huang 246 BC to the third year of the Han Emperor 177 BC 70 years of the position of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, as well as the dynamics of these five planets in a conjunction cycle.For example, Venus is five years old, the day is eight years old, and the morning of the camp is in the east, and the five conjunction cycles are exactly equal to 8 years.The heavenly officials of the imperial court took over this work, and they recorded not only the five stars, but also the twenty-eight nights, the five stars of the sun and the moon, and the image of Ji Ji and the evil spirit, so the holy king participated in politics.But Liang Qiuhe, Tianguan, and Taishi used the five-star horoscope and past records to calculate and predict the time point of the five-star conjunction, but it was more than ten years later, and it was definitely not tonight!
Xiao Wangzhi was overjoyed when he heard this: "Maybe Ren Hong instructed Geng Shouchang to talk about celestial phenomena and want to help, because we all know what it means for the five stars to converge." ”A single star, such as the rise of the glow, is a disaster, and Qin Shi Huang had this celestial phenomenon, which means that the world is in chaos.And Jupiter conjunct the earth, for civil strife, hunger, the Lord does not use war, defeat.If the stars are retrograde, Confucian must happily put the pot on the top of Ren Hong's head, saying that he is a "glowing star".But the convergence of five stars at the same time is a good omen!
Needless to say, the earlier records are just about the last time there was a five-star out of the East, it was in October of the first year of the Han Dynasty, Han Gaozu broke the martial arts, all the way to victory, the first princes to the hegemon, the prince of Qin infant car white horse, tied the neck to the group, sealed the emperor's seal rune festival, next to the road!
The demise of the tyrannical Qin and the rebirth of the Han Dynasty are all condensed on this celestial phenomenon, so the history books excitedly recorded: "The rise of the Han Dynasty, the five stars gather in Dongjing!"
”Since then, the five stars out of the East as the founding of the Han Dynasty auspicious Rui has been determined: the five stars are divided into the sky, accumulated in the East, China benefits; Accumulating in the West, foreign military users benefit.If there is really a five-star gathering in the east in the near future, it will be a certainty as soon as the main battle is sent to the army, and Confucius said that it is useless to talk about disasters, and Xiao Wangzhi and Liang Qiuhe may even be deposed because of this and go to Lingnan to accompany Wei Xiang.But if it's the other way around, Geng Shouchang is wrong, then they may be able to turn the situation around!
Liang Qiuhe is not as confident as Xiao Wangzhi, he is worried, although the five stars are sometimes in flux, and the surplus and contraction of the past are measured, as long as he knows the law of operation, he can calculate the five-star convergence node.But after personally participating, he knew exactly how difficult it was to calculate accurately.In particular, the glowing star, that is, Mars has an anti-retrograde situation, which is the most elusive.Liang Qiuhe said one thing: "During the Yuan Hunt, Wei and Huo Beizheng, at that time, in order to curry favor with Xiaowu, there were heavenly officials who said that the five stars would converge in the east, which was an auspicious omen.As a result, the Son of Heaven waited for half a month, but the five stars still scattered and did not gather, and he beheaded the heavenly officials in a fit of rage. ”Since then, few people dare to talk about the five-star thing, Liang Qiuhe and the heavenly officials calculated, there are also big discrepancies, and several results have deviated by several months or years.So what does Geng Shouchang rely on to dare to set the day of the gathering of the five stars in these days?
On the second day of the prophecy, the five stars were dove again.Xiao Wangzhi and the others were even more happy, feeling that Ren Hong was lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot this time.At night on the third day, Geng Shouchang was not in a hurry on the Tianguan platform in Weiyang Palace, he was able to occupy a corner here, while muttering to Liu Gengsheng about his basis, he was teaching Liu Gengsheng Tian recently."
The Taichu calendar uses Deng Ping's theory, and Deng Ping supports Gaitian's theory.""
And my ancestor left the princess Hun Tian and said, the public is passed down to the public, and it is not in the public to be in vain, and it is not in the public and it is passed on to me.""
Although the five-star cycle calculated by Gaitian is very accurate, there are still errors."
Using Ren Hongjiao's symbols and decimal points instead of Chinese characters, Geng Shouchang calculated that the conjunction period of the Taibai Star was 583.9 days, while the five-star occupancy was 584.4 days.The rendezvous period of Zhenxing is 377 days, and the measured value of Geng Shouchang is 378 days.But the celestial bodies move by a fraction of a centimeter, and they miss by a thousand miles.It took Geng Shouchang five years to sort out the operation rules and data of the five stars, and he carried out countless calculations in his spare time, fortunately he is the first person in the world to calculate, otherwise he would not dare to complete the nine chapters of arithmetic of the Marquis of Beiping.In addition, Ren Hong mentioned some new calculation methods and formulas, so that Geng Shouchang could get twice the result with half the effort.Another good thing is the abacus, which was made as early as when Ren Hong asked Lu Jiuyu to help him run the tea bricks and spices trade, and it was implemented in the Dasi Nong Mansion, and finally contributed to the cause of science.In the difficult years of the Republic, the abacus was able to assist in the calculation of a part of the atomic bomb data.In the Han Dynasty, if you give it to a great power like Geng Shouchang, you can also calculate the orbit of the stars, as for Ren Hong himself, he doesn't have Geng Shouchang's ability and perseverance, so he can calculate the money for grain and grass expenses.In the past five years, Geng Shouchang used the zodiac to measure the lunar line to find the changes in the slow disease of the lunar line, invented the "Nine Techniques", re-measured the feet with day and night omissions, and measured the position of the winter solstice point with the mid-star method of dusk.The "armillary sphere" of the ancestor has also been transformed, and the achievements of these years have been materialized, so that people can see at a glance that this huge ceremony has been moved into Weiyang Palace.Ren Hong also asked Geng Shouchang to explain the principle of prediction to the Son of Heaven, but the emperor didn't seem to understand much, so Ren Hong had to translate Geng Shouchang's complex terms into simple popular science.In order to seek insurance, they expanded the time limit, set it at the end of July, the second half of the full ten, today is the third day, Geng Shouchang counted a few times, and it is basically determined that it will be tonight.But he was still a little hesitant, and said to Ren Hong: "What if I miscalculated?
Isn't it a bad thing for the prince?
”Ren Hong knew that there would be a five-star alignment this year, this matter was too famous, but he didn't know the sun and the moon, so he needed Geng Shouchang, he only smiled at the time: "I don't believe in any providence, I don't believe in any disasters." ”"But I trust you.""
Believe in science!"
The night leak is about to end, the wind in Weiyang Palace is a little cold, Liu Gengsheng yawned, and Geng Shouchang never slept, he was like countless people in Chang'an City, on the roof, on the top of the attic, and even like the Son of Heaven, stargazing on the Shenming Platform of Jianzhang Palace.Everyone's eyes were always on the bright Milky Way in the sky, staring at those stars.Compared with others who look at the stars and dazzle, Geng Shouchang has an advantage, Xi'an Hou tried to burn "glass" in the Han Dynasty in the past five years, not China's native lead barium glass, which was found in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but the soda-lime glass that was commonplace.But I don't know if it's a problem of raw materials or technology, what I get is only translucent milky white crystals, although it can be used as a luxury to deceive the Han princes, but it does not meet Ren Hong's needs.This kind of new technology for the Han people can mature overnight, and the Hou of Xi'an can't wait for the Han craftsmen to slowly explore this craft, or can only be exported from the rest of the Ptolemaic Egypt, the best quality transparent glass balls, through the Silk Road all the way in, polished into wafers.In the Spring and Autumn Period, there were superb crystal polishing and polishing techniques, and Ren Hong also saw a crystal cup that resembled a glass cup in the palace.The telescope is made of glass wafers, the eyepiece is concave, the objective lens is convex, and the single-tube bamboo is drawn.It can make people see things a hundred steps away, and it is also clearer to look at the starry sky.One was sent to the palace for the emperor and the crown prince to play, and the rest was used for stargazing by Geng Shouchang and others.Geng Shouchang's position is not high, but it seems to be standing in a high-rise building, and he can clearly see the five-star position that he has observed for 20 years.The most striking thing is naturally the glowing Mars, it is pale red, and the heavenly officials are nervously staring at this naughty guy on weekdays, once it runs to the heart, something big will happen in the world.There is also Jupiter, the year star, compared to the naughtiness of the glow, the year is much more regular, and the year of the stem branch is determined by its operation.Zhenxing Saturn is also nearby, Xi'an Hou said, if the clairvoyant mirror multiplier is more refined, you can see the star ring of Zhenxing, it must be a particularly beautiful scene.These three are relatively easy to observe, but the rest of the stars and Taibai can only be seen on the eve of sunrise or sunset, and they need to wait.In the sky, it gradually turned lilac, Liu Gengsheng had fallen asleep completely on the mat in the corner, and Geng Shouchang, who was kneeling in front of the clairvoyant mirror, finally waited for Chenxing, which did appear in Dongjing like other three stars!
The east well is the well house, one of the twenty-eight houses, because it is in the east of the jade well.The East Well, Qin Fenye, is also the division of Chang'an Sanfu, so the observation effect here is the best."
The four stars have gathered, it's too white, it's just too white!"
Geng Shouchang's clairvoyant mirror was looking for it in the sky, and he was afraid that Taibai would appear in other locations.There is a cloud in the Book of Poetry: "There is Qiming in the east, and Chang Gung in the west".This is actually too white, the same as the star, only appears in the evening and at dawn, but unlike the dim star, when it appears, all the stars in the whole sky will be eclipsed, it is the star of enlightenment, and it is also the brightest one in the night sky!
Second only to the sun and the moon, the star is often implied to the image of the general of Shanggong.As the night leak is about to drip out, in Geng Shouchang's Qianli lens, the Taibai Star is also appearing little by little, like an eye slowly opening, and finally fully revealed, really dazzling!
And its location is right in the middle of the East Well!"
Taibai, it's here!"
Liu Gengsheng was woken up by Geng Shouchang's shouting, because of excitement, the clairvoyant mirror in Lao Geng's hand almost fell."
As Geng Zhongcheng said, Taibai has come out, and the five stars are gathered!"
On the roof of the Taixue dormitory, Kuang Heng, who had already dreamed in his dream that he had become wealthy, was also woken up by Chu Shaosun desperately, pulling his collar and being inexplicably excited.Those Taixue disciples who had been waiting on the roof and in the courtyard for several days in a row exclaimed again and again, and they were all confirming with the people next to them whether this was a five-star gathering.There is no moon tonight, under the bright light of the Taibai Star, on the top of Shiqu Pavilion, Liang Qiuhe and Xiao Wangzhi's faces are pale, they all know what it means.One hundred and forty-five years after the Han Dynasty, the five stars gathered in Dongjing again, so auspicious, which means the complete defeat of the Confucian officials, and also means that the horn of war has been sounded, and the westward expedition is inevitable."
The five stars are all gathered from Taibai, and the country under it can conquer the world!"
PS: The five-star account was unearthed in the Mawangdui Han Tomb.The second chapter is in the evening, and the third chapter is before 0:00.Today I recommend a public account, Andis Morrowind, the big man in the book review industry, who has helped push my books many times since the Spring and Autumn Period.His public account book Sea Fish People, doing comments and recommendations on various networks, is full of quantity, both men and women are frequent, and the taste is biased towards Lao Bai, which is trustworthy.
