Since Huojia County belongs to the Weihui Mansion and is the adjacent land of the Huaiqing Mansion, although Zhu Zaiyu was only the crown prince of Prince Zheng, there were people in the court who would be too talkative, so he still chose to come quietly without alerting anyone.
However, after Gao pragmatically entertained the officials and gentry of the two governments, he still followed the highest etiquette that could be shown at this time. Not only did he burn incense and take a bath, he also sent cavalry servants to clean outside the courtyard where the local rich gentry rented him a temporary residence.
After finishing the scene, he opened the middle door and waited at the door in person, waiting for Zhu Zaiyu, the crown prince of Prince Zheng.
Although Gao Pragmatic is just a student, his reputation among his scholars is quite high!
He is not only the author of "Long Wen Bian Ying", "Xin Zheng Dui Yun" and other handed down works, but also has close friendship with many famous literati!
However, at this moment, he walked up to a tightly covered carriage with a solemn expression, personally opened the curtain for the guests in the carriage, bowed respectfully and said: "I came to Xinzheng after graduating from high school and was very pragmatic. I have seen
Mr. Jiu Feng. It is truly a blessing for students to come here this time! Sir, please."
"Eh? Why is Gao Longwen like this?" The man who got off the carriage was about forty years old, with a pale face, wearing a dark brown straight suit and a Dongpo scarf on his head, looking like an ordinary middle-aged scholar.
The "Mr. Jiufeng" Gao pragmatically refers to is Zhu Zaiyu, the crown prince of Prince Zheng. His nickname is Jiufengshanren.
"Mr. Jiu Feng, the world's legal sect, I heard that he is currently writing "Lü Li Rong Tong". Although he is not pragmatic, he is also eager to do it."
Zhu Zaiyu stood still, stared at Gao Pragmatic for a while, and suddenly smiled: "I heard that Jinghua Gezhi School has been continuously searching for mathematical talents from all over the world in recent years. At first, I thought it was just a rumor, but now it seems that it is really
no."
Gao pragmatic smiled, said nothing, and did not extend any invitation - he was the prince, and even if he wanted to go, he couldn't go to the capital.
But Zhu Zaiyu's face quickly darkened again, and he said: "However, even though even my closest confidants didn't know much about the "Lüli Rongtong" matter, Gao Longwen was able to explain it with one word. It seems that some people's suspicions at that time were still there.
It’s really not unreasonable, I’m afraid Dongchang and Jinyiwei don’t know their last names anymore.”
Gao pragmatic laughed, shook his head and said, "The emperor told the students about this matter. Mr. Jiu Feng must not misunderstand."
Zhu Zaiyu's expression changed slightly, and he knew he couldn't accept these words. He was originally a reclusive person, and he didn't look like a prince at all, but the emperor was in the capital, and he actually knew how far he had gone in his academic research.
...can you talk too much?
Who is Zhu Zaiyu who can make Gao Pragmatic be so polite?
In the late Ming Dynasty, Li Zhi as a heretical thinker, Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing as scientists, Tang Xianzu as a playwright, Xu Xiake as a geographer, and Li Shizhen as a medical scientist, all entered the annals of Chinese history with great fame.
However, if he had not seen a speech given by the third generation core of the Red Dynasty abroad, praising Zhu Zaiyu as one of China's historical celebrities who have influenced the world, Gao Pingshi would not have known that there was such a genius as Zhu Zaiyu!
Why is this happening? After checking the information about this genius, Gao Pragmatic was even more surprised. This man is simply the Leonardo da Vinci of China!
Hundreds of years before Gao Pragmatic was born, Westerners hailed his "Twelve Equal Temperaments" as China's fifth greatest invention, acknowledged that he opened a new chapter in the music world, and acknowledged it wholeheartedly. No
With twelve equal temperaments, singing from C major to G major cannot make a clever transition; without twelve equal temperaments, keyboard instruments cannot be tuned; without twelve equal temperaments, the piano performance, known as the king of musical instruments, cannot be tuned.
Can't come out...
In addition, in addition to the twelve equal temperaments, Zhu Zaiyu was also the first to create a fixed-tone instrument, Xianzhun; the first to use abacus to perform square root; the first to establish "Dance Studies" and contribute to this
A series of world-first honors including a prescribed content outline for a subject. His research in the fields of astronomy, calendar, mathematics, physics, and computing still has an impact today.
His pioneering solution to the geometric sequence was more than ten years earlier than the Dutch mathematician Stéphane; his twelve equal temperaments were fifty-five years earlier than the French scientist Merson; the correction methods and formulas he proposed for wind instruments were more advanced than those in the West.
The theory is three hundred years earlier; the large number of spiral music scores he composed are three hundred years earlier than the "Well-Tempered Clavier" by the German composer considered to be the earliest in the world; his "Encyclopedia of Music" is completely comparable to the masterpieces of the same era.
"Tiangong Kaiwu", "Agricultural Policy Encyclopedia", "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Xu Xiake's Travels", etc. stand side by side... But why is he unknown?
Oh, it turns out it was because of the Tatars.
Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, most of the Tatar and Qing dynasties have accepted their attitude towards the outstanding people in various industries in the three centuries of the Ming Dynasty. Even the heroes who fought bloody battles against the Qing Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty were mostly commemorated in the Qing Dynasty.
However, the attitude of several generations of Tatar and Qing emperors towards a strange person from the 16th century Ming Dynasty was quite exceptional - not only must he be banned, but he must also be "disgraced"!
On this matter, the "holy kings" such as Kangxi and Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty spent a huge amount of effort. They organized many ministers in the court to launch a "siege" against the prince of the Ming Dynasty more than a hundred years ago, and even
He also went into battle personally. For example, Qianlong, the "Shiquan Old Man" of the Qing Dynasty, wrote many articles by himself, cursing this strange man of the Ming Dynasty and listing the "Ten Major Crimes" for him. From the writings of Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, we can see that
His anger was really coming out.
The strange man of the Ming Dynasty who was able to make the Qing Tatar chieftains expend great efforts to suppress him was none other than the middle-aged scribe in front of Gao Pragmatic, a recognized master in the history of world science: Zhu Zaiyu.
For example, in astronomy, Zhu Zaiyu found a loophole in the calculation of Chinese astronomy in the past dynasties and reset the formula for calculating the length of the tropical year. His calculation result of the length of the tropical year in 1581 was only 21 seconds worse than the modern high-tech calculation results. Even
The geographical location of Beijing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, was also accurately measured by Zhu Zaiyu. The data is exactly the same as the modern longitude and latitude: 39°56′ north latitude and 116°20′ east longitude.
In the field of mathematics, which is the basis of science, Zhu Zaiyu's achievements are even more impressive: he developed a series of calculation formulas for nozzle correction and accurately measured the density of mercury. He also creatively used abacus to perform square root. He pioneered
Sequence equations also solved the decimal conversion of different positions. These calculation methods were not only often used in modern science, but also represented the pinnacle of world science at that time. Zhu Zai, who also had a peak mathematical ability, was fond of music.
He also completed a major achievement that had a far-reaching impact and was very "hateful" in the Qing Dynasty: the Twelve Laws of Equals.
Twelve equal temperament, also called twelve equal intervals, is a temperament in music that divides a set of octaves into twelve semitone intervals. This novel temperament is the result of Zhu Zaiyu's super-large abacus with 81 steps.
, it was difficult to obtain using the cube root calculation method that was ahead of the world at that time. In the history of world music, it has even more cross-epochal significance: the problem that the fifth degree and the pure rhythm cannot return to the palace in music for thousands of years has been beautifully solved. The creation of musicians
and the development of modern music, it has a broader platform. But by the Ming and Qing dynasties, this great creation made the Tatars angry.
Because music in the Qing Dynasty was not an entertainment issue, but a major issue related to etiquette and regulations. Therefore, Zhu Zaiyu's new creation was a serious deviant in the eyes of the Qing Qing emperor. Therefore, Kangxi, the leader of the Qing Dynasty, created
In the work "Lv Lu Zhengyi", he tried his best to plagiarize Zhu Zaiyu's achievements while distorting and attacking him. During the Qianlong period, Qianlong, the captive chieftain, not only wrote an article himself, smearing Zhu Zaiyu as a "conjecture", but also issued orders to Wang Jie and Peng Yuanrui.
, Dong Gao and other ministers launched a harsh criticism of Zhu Zaiyu. As a result, this great scientist and his achievements were buried in Chinese history amid the roar of curses.
