inside the house.
Meng Wenhao, Li Tai, and Tiedan all looked at Li Zexuan with curiosity on their faces.
Li Zexuan carefully sorted out the relevant knowledge in his mind, and then slowly said: "Wen Hao, Qing Que, Tiedan, if I want to explain to you why this compass can point the direction, we have to start from where we are standing. I started talking about the earth. I wonder if you have heard of the round sky and place in "Zengzi: The Sky is Round"?"
If we talk about knowledge here, then Li Tai’s knowledge is the most profound. There is no way, who makes the old Li family have so many books!
"I have seen this before, sir. Do you want to say that the earth is flat?"
Li Tai asked with a frown.
"No!"
Li Zexuan shook his head and said: "In fact, later generations one-sidedly thought that the sky is round and the earth is square, which is a big mistake. The essential source of the round sky and the earth is from the innate Bagua. During the evolution, the diagram of the movement of heaven and earth deduced is the diagram of the round sky and the earth. The hexagrams surrounding it represent the movement rules of the sky, while the square hexagrams arranged in the middle represent the movement rules of the earth.
Heaven is the main one, and the earth is the secondary one. The sky is the yang and the earth is the yin. The two reacted to each other and created all things in the world. Human beings are made up of the essence of heaven and earth. Therefore, they are regarded as the spirits of all things in heaven and earth. They can sense all things and are the most spiritual ones. As a Taoist, I believe: "Heaven's Yuan" means that the mind must be harmonious in order to achieve enlightenment; "Place" means that one must have strict rules and regulations in matters of fate. The theory that the sky is round and the earth is round has been misunderstood by many people from the beginning! "
The round sky and the square place are essentially the interpretation of the formation and operation of heaven and earth in the yin and yang system of the "Book of Changes". The "Book of Changes" is the first of the Hundred Classics and the source of Chinese studies. Its ideological system believes that everything evolves according to the yin and yang and the five elements. Therefore, in various ancient disciplines, the ideological system of Yin Yang and Five Elements is included.
For example, "Lu Ban Jing" for architecture, "Huang Di Nei Jing" for life sciences, "Spring and Autumn Fan Lu" for governing the country, "Sun Tzu's Art of War" for military formations, "Qing Nang Jing" for geomantic omen and geographical environment, personal destiny "Dip Tianmui" in terms of facial recognition, "Ren Lun Da Tong Fu" in terms of facial recognition, etc., as long as they can be thought of, almost all have the ideological system of yin and yang in the "Book of Changes". This is also the true meaning of why the "Book of Changes" is regarded as the first of all the classics.
In fact, these things were what Li Zexuan saw in a forum post when he was bored in his previous life. As a close disciple of Master Lingxu, he has traveled through time for so long, and this time he finally has the opportunity to promote Taoist culture (by the way, he talks nonsense seriously). It is not easy!
The other three people in the room couldn't help but fell into deep thought after listening to Li Zexuan's words, which contained too much philosophy.
"Sir, what is the shape of the land we are on?"
At this time, a crisp voice came from the door, it was Xiao Yu'er.
"Ah! Xiao Yu'er, you went to the editorial office to see it? How was it? How do you feel?"
Li Zexuan asked with a smile.
"Well, the atmosphere there is very good, but there are all well-educated people there. Sir, Xiaoyuer feels that he may not be qualified for this job!"
Li Yu went to the editorial office and was really surprised by the scene inside. However, compared with those erudite editors, Xiao Yu'er, a little girl who had never been to school and could barely read, was instantly shocked. .
"Haha, I didn't expect that our clever and well-spoken little fish can also be timid at times!"
Li Zexuan smiled and said: "But Xiao Yuer, you are wrong to think so. Although you have not read poetry and books, you also have your advantages. The news in our "Datang Daily" does not require high literary talent. Sex, you just need to write about one thing in a novel and interesting way, and I think you are qualified for this position."
"Really? Is it really okay?"
Li Yu asked excitedly.
"Well, of course, you can try to write an article later and show it to me. Maybe I can give you some pointers. Of course, before writing news, you must first go to the people and discover some interesting things. As a Reporter, you can’t make something out of nothing!”
"Yeah, I'll go out and look for news tomorrow!"
This girl has a big heart, and bad moods come and go quickly. She is no longer as decadent as before, but is full of energy. Then she continued: "Sir, can you continue to tell me what the shape of the earth is?" "
Li Tai and Tiedan also nodded quickly. At this time, they didn't have any extra thoughts to care about who Li Yu was and where he came from. Their minds were all hooked by the theory Li Zexuan just talked about. .
"Actually, the earth we are standing on is a sphere. The reason why we don't feel that it is a sphere is because its size is too big. I call this earth the earth. Every person on the earth A person in this corner has the sky above his head, and the direction he stands points to the center of the earth."
Li Zexuan said while holding an iron ball and making gestures.
"Then why don't people below the earth fall?"
Li Tai asked with a frown.
Li Zexuan glanced at him and said: "Actually, for the earth, there is no such thing as above and below. The earth itself will rotate by itself. No, look, this is the sun and this is the earth. When the earth turns here, this One area is daytime, and on the contrary, the area on the back is night. If the other side is turned around, the area on that side becomes daytime. This is the sunrise and sunset we see every day.
As for Qingque's question about why people don't fall, I want to leave it to you to think about it, but one thing I can tell you clearly is that the earth is definitely round and people will definitely not fall. ! "
"Sir's theory is really novel, but it also makes some sense."
Li Tai nodded thoughtfully. He couldn't fully accept it for a while. After all, the impact it had on his mind was too great.
"Haha, Qingque still seems a little unconvinced. Let me give you another example. When a ship comes from afar on the sea, we always see the mast first and then the hull. If you have never seen the sea, then in fact, on the big river The same is true inside; on the other hand, no matter where we stand or how high we can see, the range we can see is always limited, which proves that the earth is spherical."
"It's really true. I've seen many boats like this on the river before!"
When Li Yu heard this, he shouted happily.
"Well, after I have made it clear to you that the earth is round, I will tell you why this compass can indicate the direction. This will be a new subject. This subject will bring you into a world. new world!"
