One thousand three hundred and sixty-three Confucius and Mozi will become the two saints of literatu
After policy encouragement, new mathematical theories appear every year, and mathematical works and books have shown explosive growth in recent years.
Some things that Guo doesn't understand very well have been made. Many people are discussing these mathematical problems in a hurry and working hard to improve their mathematical knowledge.
I think it will take a long time to give birth to the first real [mathematicians] on the land of China.
Guo Peng even planned to establish a Royal Mathematics Association to consolidate the achievements of mathematical research and institutionalize it.
Then the Royal Mathematics League is held every year to give rewards for money and status, which inspires people's enthusiasm for studying mathematics and attaching importance to mathematics.
If people feel that doing such things can really benefit and gain fame and fortune, then naturally someone will rush up to climb to the top.
If you can't get fame and fortune, then forget it.
Generating electricity for love is something that only a few people with noble sentiments can do, and most of them are just ordinary people.
What Guo Peng has to do is unite these ordinary people.
He has no reserve of natural science knowledge and cannot create a strong ship, powerful gun, steam engine, but he has power, policies, and basic conditions for everything.
Driven by power and policies, people who are eager to climb up will burst out with powerful power.
So Guo Peng knew that he didn't need to rack his brain to write a natural science textbook that transcends the times, and he couldn't do that.
He only needs to eliminate the philosophical thoughts and political propositions in the Mo Jing, sort out the contents of natural sciences, and then add the mathematical research results over the years.
Reorganization, re-editing, and the remaining things in your head that you will never forget in your lifetime are just a textbook for studying physics that is enough to serve as the starting point of natural science.
With this textbook, include it in the scope of the imperial examination, stick to it, and read it in fifty years!
After determining this guiding ideology, Guo Peng personally directed a group of mathematics teachers to reorganize the "Mo Jing".
He ordered that Mozi's philosophical thoughts and Mohist political propositions be eliminated in the "Mo Jing" and only knowledge of natural sciences be retained-
Later, the "Mo Jing" officially allowed by the Wei State, published on the market, became a purely natural science book.
Guo Peng praised Mo Zi very well, intending to praise him as the father of Chinese natural sciences, and to push him to the stage to fight Confucius, establish a monument for students of natural sciences and create a spiritual sustenance.
Therefore, his identity as a philosopher and politician cannot be allowed to exist.
This is a necessary improvement for Mr. Guo.
Like Confucianism, Confucianism after Dong Zhongshu's transformation must be eliminated from the relevant theories against Mohism. They should shine and heat up for Guo's goals together, and not become obstacles.
In the future, Confucius and Mozi will become the two saints of literature and science in the temple of Chinese culture.
One person represents literature and the other person represents theory. He will be worshipped forever by the students of the Wenshuo students, and it exists - of course, in the academic sense.
Guo Peng combined the improved Mo Jing with some of the latest mathematical knowledge, plus some of the knowledge about astronomy, geophysics and chemistry that Guo Peng has not forgotten so far, and compiled it into the textbook "Study on Physics".
In addition, Guo Peng also announced that this textbook on essay science will be designated as a must-learn and must-take the exam.
Once it is involved in the imperial examination, no matter how resistant or oppose it at the beginning, it will be fine after a while, because this is a part of the ladder of the road to heaven.
If you don’t study, don’t think of becoming an official.
I want you to learn, I want you to learn the arts of literature and martial arts, and then sell yourself to me!
I will vigorously promote the development of China's natural sciences and make it a system - an unshakable system!
So he looked at the officials in the school.
"I wanted to promote this textbook on physics for a long time ago, but due to various reasons, I failed to promote it successfully. Now, I have abdicated and can devote all my energy to this matter. Dear teachers, you must do your best to help me."
Guo Peng raised the textbook on the study of matters in his hand: "In my opinion, promoting the establishment and study of this subject is more important than passing the throne to the prince. You must pay attention to it, start setting up and learning from the Imperial Academy, and then popularize it to various academies and schools.
Of course, if students want to learn, they must first have teachers. The teacher must first learn, select a group of people from the teachers who teach mathematics, astronomy and geography to concentrate on studying physics. After understanding the content of this textbook, they can offer courses.
Within five years, I will include this subject in the imperial examination, so time is tight and the task is heavy, and it is urgent! You guys, I have made up my mind to devote all my energy to the rest of my life and swear to accomplish this!”
Guo Peng slapped the table, which surprised the ministers of the school.
What exactly is the old emperor going to do?
They were surprised and had to open the textbook and start reading the contents of this study of physics textbook.
To be honest, many people have not understood much content since they opened it.
They know all the words, but after they form sentences and words, they don’t know them anymore.
There are also those strange problems that are even more unimaginable.
What is the height of the sky and the thick of the earth? Why can’t people fly when standing on the ground?
Why do you definitely fall back to the ground after jumping up? Why can you grow food in the land?
Why are there any difference between day and night, why are there four seasons rotating, why are there rain and drought?
Wait and wait.
There is no accurate answer to these questions. Guo Peng listed these questions on the first page of the textbook to ask students whether they can answer these questions.
If possible, then answer and give convincing evidence.
If not, then turn on the second page and start to study the contents of this book seriously and hard.
Starting from the second page of this book, Guo Peng began to tell the story of the ancient people's concept of the world of heaven and earth.
He said that the ancients believed that people lived on a huge flat ground, the sky was round and the earth was square, and based on this, they understood the world.
Many philosophical theories have even been developed, such as the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, which have become an important part of building a cultural system.
However, since the era of great voyage began, many things have changed.
He felt that it was wrong to have a round sky and a place, and he felt that people lived on a huge sphere.
The reason is that when you watch the ship return from a distance, you must first see the mast, and then slowly see the hull, which makes people feel like a ship moving from bottom to top.
In order to prove this view, Guo Peng also drew several pictures, standing on land, looking at the sea boat, from seeing the mast to seeing the hull, the relative positions of the sea boat and people were constantly changing, in order to describe his view.
Because they live on a sphere, they can see objects in the distance constantly approaching in this way.
If we live on a flat ground, why can’t we see it all at once?
If the ground is local and the sea level is completely flat as everyone imagines, why not see the bottom of the ship but the mast from the beginning?
The raising and description of this question, as well as the pictures, first made a large group of school officials confused and shocked.
To be honest, their cosmic view and worldview are quite simple. They grew up with traditional education, and naturally they also accepted the concepts of the ancient Yin-Yang school's theories, such as the round, the earthly and the earthly branches, and they thought this was the truth.
This is the world, it is just a big tablet. Only the sky on the head is round, so everyone can see the sunrise and sunset.
They can't imagine why they can live on a ball.
If so, shouldn't they fall?
Shouldn't the building collapse?
Guo Peng explained this issue next.
That is, why can’t a person fly? Why does he jump and fall back to the ground after he jumps, just like being firmly absorbed by the ground.
Everything is the same. Throwing a stone will land on the ground, sprinkling water will land on the ground. Birds must land on the ground to rest and cannot always fly in the sky.
Why is this? Is it because there is an inexplicable suction that restricts us from flying into the sky and absorbs us on the ground and cannot float up?
If this is the case, it can prove each other with the first view.
We live on a sphere, which has a huge adsorption force and can absorb everything on the sphere, including people, on its surface, so that even if it is a sphere, we will not fall.
Because from our own perspective, no matter where we live on the sphere, we live on a flat ground.
As evidence of this view, Guo Peng cited examples of magnets found in mines in Hebei.
This magnet has a wonderful power that can be absorbed on steel and tightly adsorbed, and it will be difficult to pull off without force.
This proves that the existence of the adsorption force mentioned by Guo Peng has an adsorption force that can tightly absorb objects and make it difficult to break free.
It’s just that magnets target steel, and the adsorption of the sphere targets everything in this world.
This is his understanding, his understanding of the world they live in.
Since the sky is a kind of understanding and no one has confirmed it, there is nothing wrong with me to put forward my own understanding, right?
Want to prove that I am wrong?
Then let's prove it.
Prove it to me, I am wrong, the sky is round and the place is right.
Show me a strong evidence and challenge me!
After reading a few short contents, many officials had already raised their heads and looked at their colleagues who were also at a loss, looking at each other.
They always feel that if this book of esoteric physics is really published for students to learn, it will probably cause quite heated debate.
Those who support the world and the views of the Supreme Emperor may fight.
The common concept of everyone over the years has been subverted at this moment. And following those meaningful pictures, they actually felt that they could not confront the Supreme Emperor and could not find a way to refute.
Is the Supreme Emperor right?
Before widespread controversy arose, the officials of the school were the first to be confused.
