Chapter three hundred and eighty-six check things to start with dolls
"I heard in ancient times that Nuwa mended the sky. Could it be that the stones that mended the sky fell from the sky?"
Zhao Zhen was obviously unwilling to give up, and even brought out folk myths such as Nuwa patching up the sky. The scene suddenly became a bit embarrassing. Even Liu E frowned. For her, such myths cannot be trusted.
To study history.
Ye An smiled: "In ancient times, there was a saying that Nuwa mended the sky, but it was a myth and could not be true. It was only the ancient ancestors who saw rocks falling from the sky and didn't know why, so they came up with such a theory.
, just like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl..."
After a short pause and seeing Zhao Zhen's curious eyes, Ye An touched his chin and said deliberately: "Actually, it's just a stone falling from the sky. No one knows where it came from, but there are these stones floating in the sky.
Speaking of officials, the sage should know, "The sky is like a chicken's chicken. The celestial body is round like a pellet, and the earth is like a yellow chicken inside. It lives alone in the sky. The sky is big and the earth is small. There is water inside and outside the sky, and the sky encloses the earth, just like a shell."
It is wrapped in yellow. Heaven and earth each stand on the basis of Qi and float on water."
As Zhang Heng's Huntian theory appeared, Xuan Chengzi's body shook even more violently. What he was most afraid of before was that Ye An would move Zhang Heng out.
But Liu E nodded slightly, and only Zhao Zhen still asked unwillingly: "Mr. Ye still hasn't explained why stones fall from the sky! Besides, when the big star in the sky fell to the ground, why did it turn into a stone in Ye Hou's mouth?
"
Ye An pointed to the sunlight shining on the ground outside the palace: "Do the officials know how big the sun is?"
Just when Zhao Zhen was in a daze, Ye An said: "At the beginning of the day, it is as big as a car hood, and at midday it is like a pan. It is not that those who are far are small and those who are close are big. The words of the sage not only tell us that the sage himself does not know something,
He also told me that the size will change with the change of distance. If the officials stand on the city wall and look at the people on Tianjie, don’t they feel that they have become smaller?”
At this time, Liu E was still thinking more about what Ye An just said. According to what he said, since the sun is far away from the ground, does that mean that the sun is actually a big sphere?
Those stars look smaller at night. Could it be that those bright stars are actually the same as the sun, but they are too far away from the earth? In this way...Liu E suddenly didn't dare to think about it. She just felt like this
It's a very scary thing to think about.
If what Ye An said was true, it was not impossible for a stone to fall from the sky that day. Looking at the curious Zhao Zhen beside him, Liu E had some concerns in her heart.
"Sir, what you mean is that the big star is not actually a big star, but a stone? That's not right! It looks small from a distance, but it should be big up close!"
Okay! The little emperor already has his own dialectical thinking, which is good.
Ye An nodded: "In fact, to explain this matter clearly, a lot of knowledge of objects is needed. The official family is still young and doesn't know much. I will explain it to the official family one by one when there is time in the future. It's just that there are
Officials must remember that a big star falling to the ground is just a stone. It is never a celestial phenomenon that predicts disaster, let alone someone who will die from it. Even if it does, it is just a coincidence!"
Zhao Zhen nodded in understanding, but Liu E, who was sitting on the main seat, suddenly became enlightened. He looked at Xuan Chengzi beside him and smiled slightly: "It seems that Mr. Guanmiao's disciple is really unusual!"
Xuan Chengzi shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Changsheng is not my Taoist disciple, he just has some connections with Pindao. It's already a bit too much to call him master and disciple..."
"Master, please don't say that. Everything is determined. Ye An and his master met on a wild trail. If he hadn't been rescued by his master, he might not have been able to survive in such a dangerous place as Songshan Mountain. He would be a master for one day and a father for the rest of his life. Ye An
An dare not forget the life-saving grace of her master, let alone the bond between master and apprentice!"
Liu E's face was slightly ugly. She had finally tried to alienate the relationship between Xuan Chengzi and Ye An. How could Ye An "pick it back" again, but now it was hard to "provoke" it again, so she had to give up.
Liu E slowly stood up and left Zishan Hall, but after going out, she winked at Chen Lin and Lan Jizong who were guarding outside. Both of them were alive in the palace. How could they not know that they were saints?
Are you going to play alone with Ye An?
Liu E's departure also meant that she got the answer she wanted. Ye An looked at Zhao Zhen's curious baby eyes and smiled slightly: "Guan family, in fact, our Han family has never lacked people who can observe astronomy.
There are many records about meteorites in Huanghuang history books, so this is not a warning celestial phenomenon. The world is very big, and a stone falling from the sky is nothing. I can tell you that it often falls, but there is no need to worry, I will slowly recover.
I’ll explain it to you…”
After Ye An finished speaking, he saw Xuanchengzi sweating profusely, as if he had taken a hot bath. He knew what Ye An was doing, he was destroying the foundation of Taoism, no, to be precise, he was destroying the foundation of all beliefs.
.
No matter what belief you have, you will always be in awe of the sky above your head, but if someone says that he can explain celestial phenomena, this person is the enemy of all religions!
Zhao Zhen had too many puzzles in his heart, and he excitedly asked a series of questions. Why did it glow with fire if it was a meteorite? Since it fell from the sky, what was it like on that day, and so on?
It's not about challenging religious claims.
Religion relies on speculation to explain celestial phenomena, while science relies on cognition and knowledge to explain celestial phenomena. There must be a huge difference between the two, and there must be right and wrong.
This is an unavoidable problem. Ye An certainly knows what Xuan Chengzi is worried about, but even if he is dissatisfied, he still has to "popularize science" with the little emperor, because it is related to the country's national affairs, and even to the entire Chinese civilization.
, there is no reason for him to be "soft-hearted" at this time.
I secretly sighed in my heart: "We must start from a baby!" Only in this way can the study of Wu become a "prominent school" in the Song Dynasty and become the driving force for the rise of the Song Dynasty!
In fact, Liu E has succeeded. Ye An knows that from now on, as long as he advocates the study of things, the result will be contrary to Taoism, but Ye An just doesn't understand why she wants to force herself out of Taoism.
, what good will this do to her?
Seeing Chen Tong walking towards him, Ye An knew that he was here to deliver an edict. He knows people well. Judging from Liu E's attitude just now, he knew that she had something to ask him, but since she chose to avoid it in front of Xuan Chengzi,
If you don't talk about it, you don't want to say it in front of outsiders.
Chen Tong first whispered to Ye An: "Ye Hou is walking slowly, the saint gave Luzhou Liu'an tea and some refreshments..."
Ye An nodded and smiled: "In this case, there will be an internal official."
"Your Majesty is too polite to be a slave."
Chen Tong crossed his hands and saluted, and then said to Xuanchengzi: "Mr. Guanmiao, the saint has given the golden beads. From now on, the Taoist priests in the Shangqing Palace can receive the ultimatum and settle down."
This was the only thing that made Xuan Chengzi happy. He nodded slightly and left with the brocade box handed over by Chen Tong, but when he left, he glanced at Ye An, feeling helpless and sighing.
Luzhou Lu'an tea is actually the famous Lu'an Guapian. It became famous in the Tang Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, it was the best tea and was designated as imperial tea.
Ye An opened the tea cup lightly and immediately showed a satisfied smile. He had rubbed the professor's Liu'an melon slices once in his previous life, which made him feel distressed for nearly a month. He was so unique.
This tea is the only tea in the world that has no buds or stems and is made from a single raw leaf.
