Zhang Tianshi fortune-telling

When I was a child, there was an article by Zhang Heng in the textbook. Zhang Heng counted the stars in the sky and became a scientist and writer by counting them. How many children were inspired by this story? I have counted the stars, but unfortunately, we don't have that understanding. Just like being hit by 10 thousand apples, we can't figure out gravity.

Brief introduction of Zhang Heng

Zhang Heng (78- 139), a Chinese character, mainly lived in the period of Emperor Andi and Shun Di in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Nanyang (now Shiqiao, Nanyang, Henan) is a native of western Hubei. A great astronomer, mathematician, inventor, geographer and writer in the Eastern Han Dynasty, plus an unreliable politician. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, he worked as a doctor, an official, an assistant minister, a river minister and an official. Zhang Heng's achievements in officialdom are far less than his achievements in Ci and Fu and science and technology.

Zhang Heng was good at writing since childhood and studied in Sanfu (Zuo, You Fufeng, Jing). Enter the capital and check the business. Pass the five classics and pass the six arts. Only higher than the world, but not melodramatic. Calm and quiet, it is not easy to make common people. This character is suitable for writing articles and doing research, but not for being an official.

Zhang Heng is a great poet.

Zhang Heng has made great achievements in literature, copying Ban Gu's Du Du Fu and writing Du Jing Fu. There are also people who return to Tianfu, miss Fu Xuan and do nothing. As an official official, I also participated in the compilation of the Eastern Han Dynasty Orthodox History before the late Han Shu, most of which has been lost now. Looking at these magnificent Han fu, I tried to read it several times, but I couldn't finish it. Reading Han Fu, lack of skill.

Although Zhang Hengming is yin and yang, Rolling is not Zhang Tianshi.

According to the biography of the reflection of Zhang Lu, Zhang Lu's father was Zhang Heng and Zhang Lu's grandfather was Zhang Ling. Zhang Ling is the founder of Wudou Midao (also known as Shi Tiandao). Many people mistake Zhang Heng for the inventor of the seismograph. Actually, it's not. According to his age, this Zhang Heng should be similar to Zhang Ling. Just the same name. So, this Zhang Heng is not Zhang Tianshi. In addition, there is another puzzling thing. The leader of the Yellow turban insurrectionary in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Jiao, was Taiping Dao, and had nothing to do with Er Zhangheng.

According to the Records of the Later Han Dynasty, Rolling knew Yin and Yang and could read the stars. The Book of Magic Biography in the Later Han Dynasty also said that "Zhang Heng was the ancestor of Yin and Yang in the Middle Ages", and Zhang Heng was the master of Yin and Yang throughout the Eastern Han Dynasty. But this does not mean that Zhang Heng is a fairy, because at that time, divination of Yin and Yang was a compulsory subject for ministers, and Emperor Guangwu believed in Yin and Yang very much. During the reign of Emperor Guangwu, there was a minister named Zheng Xing, and everything was fine, except that he didn't like these things and he wouldn't like them. Liu Xiu resented him because he didn't know these things, which also led to Zheng Xing's failure to get promoted, just like in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, ministers could not get promoted without writing blue poems.

Zhang Heng is both a teacher of Yin and Yang and an orthodox Confucian scholar.

Zhang Heng is an orthodox Confucian scholar.

Although Zhang Heng knows Yin and Yang, he also knows how to predict, but Zhang Heng is not a fortune teller, and he doesn't like it very much. Is a typical Confucian scholar. "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty" records that the method of balancing vanity is not a saint. In other words, Zhang Heng doesn't like the messy things predicted by these astronomical phenomena. None of these things belong to Confucius. After all, Confucius once said, "Zi can't speak, but Machamp is confused." . To this end, the emperor got a memorial. This is to persuade the emperor to abandon evil and do good. How can the emperor's old man's house accept such a thing, and how can Heng have the opportunity to be a big official? In addition, Zhang Heng believes that it is unreliable to predict his future through fortune telling. He also wrote "Si" to set the record straight, and people in the Yin and Yang families took the lead in opposing Yin and Yang. What can be done?

In addition, Zhang Heng's advice to the emperor was straightforward. When he sees something bad, he will say it directly, without any taboo, even if it involves the emperor's family face. During the reign of Emperor Han 'an, Zhang Heng foolishly wrote a letter: In the last years of Wang Mang, he turned over a new leaf in the throne, and Emperor Guangwu was just a general of others, and later he became emperor. In the meantime, the title of Guangwu should be changed to the title of restarting. This is a naked denial of light weapons and glorious history. In this way, Zhang Heng played the throne several times, and the result was affirmative-the emperor did not adopt it. Only orthodox Confucian scholars can do such a foolish thing.

Counting stars is not true.

The story about Zhang Heng counting stars has never been traced back to the specific source. Anyway, the story was not recorded in the later Han Dynasty. But it is recorded that Zhang Heng invented the armillary sphere. The armillary sphere marked the stars. Perhaps based on the armillary sphere, later generations arranged the story of Zhang Heng counting stars. If you didn't count the stars, how could Zhang Heng study the stars and invent the armillary sphere?

Zhang Heng really invented the seismograph.

Zhang seismograph

Zhang Heng did invent the seismograph. According to the Records of the Later Han Dynasty, in the first year of Yang Jia's reign (Liu Bao No.2, Emperor Shun of Han Dynasty, AD 132), Zhang Heng made a seismograph, which was called Hou Feng Seismograph in history. The appearance of the seismograph was described in detail in the later Han Dynasty:

It is made of copper and has a diameter of eight feet. It is covered and raised in the shape of a wine statue, a turtle decorated with seal script, a bird and a beast. All of them are pillars, eight-way, and the engine is turned off. There are eight dragons outside. The first one is a copper pill, and the next one is a toad. Open your mouth and accept it. Its teeth are cleverly made, all hidden in respect, and its coverage is endless. If there is an earthquake, the venerable master will make the dragon vomit pills and the toad will take them. The vibration was so exciting that the waiters noticed it. Although Yilong started the engine, Qige didn't move, and the air was full of places that knew about the earthquake. Test it with something, it is like a god. Since it is recorded in the book, there is nothing left. Have a taste of eLong's machine, and you won't feel anything. Scholars in the capital accused it of its absence. A few days later, we arrived, and the Longxi earthquake was beautifully shot. Since then, it has made historians remember what to do.

The general appearance is the same as the above picture. This is Zhang Heng's initiative. It didn't exist before, and it seems that there are no descendants. At that time, people thought it was great, and now I think it is great.

Zhang Heng not only invented the seismograph, but also invented the armillary sphere and compass. He has also made great achievements in other aspects, such as: Lingxian. Mathematical works include: on arithmetic.

Everyone is boasting that Leonardo da Vinci is a generalist and everything is great. Look at Zhang Heng again. Which is worse than Leonardo da Vinci? More than a thousand years before Leonardo da Vinci.

All right, Rolling, that's it.
