Since the Qin and Han dynasties

Both are theories of the cosmic universe and the geocentric universe.

The former can be simply understood as the geocentric model (it is actually more complex).

The latter is the concept of a round heaven and a square earth.

Scholars with even a little astronomical knowledge,

They all believe the theory of celestial chaos more.

Various astronomical instruments were also manufactured based on the theory of the celestial sphere.

Now, suddenly making them believe that the sun is the center...

This is quite difficult.

During the Song Dynasty, the government prohibited private astronomical research.

However, there are many people who secretly study astronomy.

These dozens of officials in front of us

At least one-fifth of them have studied it.

The remaining four-fifths also had some understanding.

Hu Anguo did not say a word from beginning to end.

After he finished looking at the moon,

He stepped aside and listened quietly.

He was thinking,

The sun and moon represent yin and yang.

But the sun is so big.

The moon simply revolves around the Earth.

What should we do about this Yin-Yang theory?

If we change it to daytime being yang and nighttime being yin...

But day and night are determined by the Earth's rotation.

This argument is equally untenable.

Hu Anguo walked to a tree,

Staring blankly at the sky.

I don't know how long it took,

Hu Anguo suddenly realized,

I know how to explain it.

Yin and Yang are metaphysical concepts.

Unpredictable and unfathomable.

The sun and moon, day and night are physical things.

It is the embodiment of Yin and Yang.

Therefore, it can be perceived.

The celestial sphere still resembles a chicken egg.

But the sun is the yolk in the egg.

The idea that the earth is like the yolk of a chicken egg should be discarded.

Hu Anguo didn't care about the other officials either.

He walked quickly down the mountain.

I took the car home and wrote the article.

Reconstructing the cosmology of Luoyang studies—

The universe was initially a chaotic void.

That is, the Tai Chi state.

Tai Chi gives rise to Yin and Yang energies.

The two energies of Yin and Yang are elusive.

It is personified as all things in the universe.

Including celestial bodies in the void.

The universe after being visualized,

It looks like an egg.

The sun is the yolk in the middle.

Earth and the five planets

Revolving around the sun,

Other celestial bodies are in the outer layers.

Even the immortals reside in the outermost heavens.

The Five Virtuous Star Lords, representing the five planets,

They do not live on the five stars.

However, the five stars contain the power of the five elements.

The sun is like a father.

Therefore powerful and distant,

It represents Yang.

The moon is like a mother.

Therefore, they are weak yet close.

It represents Yin.

The universe can also be interpreted in this way.

Since the sun is the center of the universe,

That must be the abode of the Jade Emperor.

The emperor is also the son of the sun.

No wonder the new dynasty was named the Ming Dynasty.

Isn't "Daming" just another name for the sun?

Hu Anguo slapped his thigh hard.

I feel like I've figured out the origin of the name "Ming Dynasty".

There was no such thing as a Sun God in the Song Dynasty.

Hu Anguo directly equates the sun with the Supreme God of Heaven.

But what about Houtu?

The sun and the moon are a pair.

Are we going to pair the sun and the earth together as a couple?

Hu Anguo started scratching his head in frustration.

This is not simply about determining the divine position.

Moreover, it involves the construction of ideologies.

"No, the sky is the sky, it is the universe."

"The Son of the Universe is the Sun, the Son of Heaven!"

Hu Anguo slapped his thigh again.

Hu Anguo quickly picked up his pen.

The emperor is the embodiment of the sun.

He is also the child of the universe.

Anyway, those gods and immortals in Taoism,

It can be changed or replaced at will.

The emperor simply issues an edict to confer the title.

During the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties,

There have even always been twelve zodiac gods.

They belong to the legitimate Taoist deities.

However, it evolved from the twelve constellations of the West.

Furthermore, astrology was very popular in the Song Dynasty.

It's pretty much the same as those modern people who play with astrology.

Han Yu, Su Shi, Wen Tianxiang,

They're all astrology experts.

Moreover, they belong to the most unlucky Capricorn zodiac sign.

Even in the late Qing Dynasty, people were still using astrology to make fun of things.

Zeng Guofan said, "You gentlemen have all suffered quite a bit in your lives."

"Poor thing, disheveled and frowning."

Li Hongzhang said, "After you arrive, the truth will be revealed."

"In his declining years, he was sent to the Sagittarius Palace."

Even the twelve constellations could be absorbed by Taoism.

What's the big deal about making some changes now?

.....

Zhang family.

The servant rushed into the study, panting, and said:

“Young master, the spectacles maker in the city,”

"I already have jobs to do."

"I heard it's the current prime minister who wants the crystal polished,"

"They're all willing to do chores for our family first,"

"But we need to finish grinding the current lenses before we can start work."

Chapter 1884 The Beauty of the Moon

"Where is the craftsman who polished the bronze mirror?" Zhang Xun asked.

The servant replied, "They're all busy."

Zhang Xun remarked with a sigh, "So many people in the whole city are getting their lenses ground."

"We can only wait and see."

Fan Jun put down the "Strategies for Applying the Way" in his hand and couldn't help but ask:
