Chapter 1490 Chang'e is an astronomer
As for an ancient woman like Chang'e, she must also be the leader of a certain tribe. Only in this way can her name be passed down.
We don't have to consider whether this woman is beautiful, but she is definitely a smart woman. In human history, there has never been a woman who can go down in history because of her beauty. Only smart women and women who have made great careers can be passed down in history.
If I say this, some people may disagree. They can say that there have been many women in history who were known for their beauty. Their beauty is also well known. Not talking about other women, but talking about these four beauties, aren't they all beauties who are famous in history!
In fact, the question about the four beauties is not an ancient question at all. This is a modern question. The four beauties were not judged by ancient people, but by some boring literati in modern times.
Are the four beauties beautiful? There is no answer to this question. None of us have seen them, nor do we know what they look like.
But whether these four women are real figures in history, and why they can be passed down in history, we can analyze. As long as we analyze a little bit, we will know that they are not famous in history because of their beauty. They were only connected to them because of some famous historical events, and then they were also exposed.
Actually, about the four beauties. Almost all of them are legends. There is no historical basis at all. Their affairs are mostly recorded by unofficial history. But even if we can't even believe in the official history, then do we still need to believe in the things recorded in these unofficial histories!
The stories of the four beauties are not recorded in official history at all. Their stories are all recorded in unofficial history. What is the basis for the events recorded in this unofficial history? All of them were fabricated by the author himself, or they were just hearsay.
There are also different opinions about what kind of role these women played in the major historical events, and their final ending is also life and death, and death and life. They have all become Schrödinger's cats.
In fact, these women may be just unknown people in the history at that time, and they may be related to some historical events. But their weight is not enough to affect the development of that historical event.
Their enormous energy is only added to them by later generations. Just like their beauty, it was also added to them by later generations. It does not mean that because of their beauty, the occurrence and development of a certain historical event was affected. Just because they have something to do with certain historical events. Then, later generations began to seize this matter and make a big fuss. Their beauty is exaggerated to the point where it can affect the entire course of history.
In fact, this is a phenomenon caused by the boring literati of later generations deliberately elevating them to a high position in order to interpret a historical story. These women are actually like many figures in history. It's all because the people of later generations, who favor them, make their image constantly taller.
There are beautiful women and ugly women in the world. But beauty and ugliness are relative terms. There is no beauty without ugliness. There is no beauty and no ugliness. But where is the dividing line between ugliness and beauty? Obviously, there is no such dividing line.
Whether it is a famous beauty in ancient times or a modern beauty. All are illusions created by literary and artistic means. The word "beauty" itself is a literary noun, not an ordinary noun.
If there were beauties in ancient times who could overwhelm the country because of their beauty, then there are beauties in modern times, why haven't I heard of them. That beauty can fascinate all the men in the world because of her beauty!
Even if there are celebrities that the public likes. But none of them can make the country and the city! Although they are beautiful, none of them have caused some serious social events because of their beauty!
So, it doesn't matter whether a woman is beautiful or not, what matters is what contribution she has made to the society. Although a star is beautiful, it is just an artistic image. The beauty of stars we can see is nothing more than an artistic image created by professional makeup artists, stylists and some modern technological means.
Just imagine, beauties created by modern high-tech means cannot cause some major social events because of their beauty. Let's not talk about an era without much technology in ancient times. In such a society, the so-called beauties are just packaged with inferior ancient cosmetics. Only in the ancient era of lack of aesthetics can a woman be called a beautiful woman.
Because of this, we modern people cannot believe the words of some boring literati. There are beauties in the world. But that's just some women who deliberately packaged up because of professional needs. Beauty has never been a normal thing. It has never been possible to affect social development and historical events.
The same is true of Chang'e. Although she is known as the most beautiful woman in Chinese history, she is not one of them. But her beauty is just a gift added to her by future generations. Is she really beautiful or not? It doesn't matter anymore. She must be a beauty if all of us human beings like her. We are absolutely unwilling to accept that an unattractive woman can become a historical mythical figure.
The reason why Chang'e can become Chang'e. Not because of how beautiful she is. must be because of her
smart. In ancient times, the so-called smart people were generally those who could know some astronomical knowledge.
And Chang'e can be related to the moon, which shows that she must be regarded as an astronomer in ancient times. The lunar calendar in the lunar calendar must have something to do with her. And this mythical story of "Chang'e Flying to the Moon" must have something to do with the calendar she invented.
Others say that Chang'e and Houyi are the first couple in human history and the founders of monogamy. This thing, of course, makes no sense. The emergence and development of monogamy is a long process. It cannot be that such a system suddenly appeared. This system is not a system formulated by a certain country or a certain country. This kind of system is like the patriarchal system and the feminist system. It is an objectively existing production relationship that promotes social development. It is not that a certain person suddenly thought of this system and then worked out this system.
Therefore, there is no reason to say that the first human couple is Chang'e and Houyi. But whatever. Chang'e, a woman, must have been a woman who made contributions to the calendar and agriculture in history.
You know, in ancient times, humans did not have any advanced technology. The only thing that can help people produce and live is astronomy.
Astronomy was very important in ancient times. This also surprised future generations. Modern people can't figure it out no matter what. In ancient times, there was no astronomical knowledge and astronomical telescopes. How did people learn so much about astronomy.
But no matter what. In ancient times, people had mastered a certain amount of astronomical knowledge. It can be used to guide agricultural production. The calendar is the most important kind of astronomical knowledge. Chang'e must be such an astronomer who knows some astronomical knowledge. She must have something to do with the formulation of the lunar calendar. Because the lunar calendar is a calendar formulated according to the waxing and waning of the moon. A calendar based on the laws of the moon.
It's just that when this lunar calendar guides agricultural production and human life, there are some problems. Because the lunar calendar is only a calendar formulated according to the waxing and waning of the moon. In this case, it will cause it to be either thirty days or twenty-nine days in a month. In this way, the year of this calendar is different from the year when the earth revolves around the sun once. Each takes ten days less.
Therefore, this calendar has exposed some problems. Especially in the aspect of guiding agricultural production, some problems have also been exposed. As a result, people cannot accurately grasp the season of cultivation when they are cultivating.
So, there is a problem with this lunar calendar. It must be corrected. Thus, the twenty-four solar terms appeared again. These twenty-four solar terms are corrections to the lunar calendar. It can also be said to be another calendar. This calendar is based on the solar park cycle. Such a calendar is the most useful calendar.
Because this calendar is mainly to guide agricultural production. We call this calendar the lunar calendar. To a large extent, the lunar calendar has perfected the shortcomings of the lunar calendar. Let the calendar truly serve the farming life of that era.
Therefore, Chang'e is such an ancient mythical figure. Whether she is beautiful or not is not very important. The important thing is that she is a woman who has made important contributions to the development of ancient agricultural society.
In this way, the mythical figure Chang'e is more authentic than historical figures such as the Four Beauties. Because she must have made her name because of her contribution to social development.
The story of the four beauties is completely fabricated by later generations. They are not famous in history because of their contributions to society. They just let their names pass down because they have some connection with some famous historical events.
This is not the case with Chang'e. She passed down her name entirely because she was an astronomer. And those so-called literati in ancient times. The reason why their names can go down in history is because of the love and respect for them by later generations of literati.
Literati have no other skills. Their only skill is to make a certain place famous or a certain person famous. Because the articles written by literati have the characteristics of passing on. And other things do not have such a function.
Because of this, in ancient times, the names of many literati were passed down. In fact, they are not because they have made any great contributions to the society at that time. It is only because some of the articles and poems they wrote at that time have been handed down.
In fact, the reason why these so-called historical literati are so famous. It is not to say that they were all well-known stars in the historical era at that time. Just imagine, in such an era without print media and television media, the communication methods between people were very backward. In such an era, how did these so-called historical literati become famous!
We can draw such a conclusion with a simple analysis. All these great writers in history, they lived in that era. Not a big star at all.
Because in that era, people's communication methods were very backward. There are also no print media and TV stations to promote their works. In addition, ordinary people at that time had almost no conditions for education. Most of the common people are illiterate. They can't read at all, let alone understand the poems of these literati.
So, in such an era of information occlusion, how can there be so many literati who are well-known to modern people. This doesn't make sense in theory. And now we know these historical literati. Most of them are because their poems have entered the textbooks of modern people. Let our children know such historical texts from an early age
people. So, they also became famous.
So, these ancient historical literati. They were not very famous in their time. It is only because of the benefits of modern technology that in this modern information age, through Chinese textbooks, he has become a household name.
But Chang'e is not like this. She is famous in history because she made great contributions to the development of human society in ancient times.
Therefore, as a member of the Chinese nation, we can forget many historical celebrities. We can forget many literati. But we can't forget such a great woman named Chang'e. '
Zhao Zhongyao told all the things he knew about Chang'e. These things he said are also unknown to ordinary people. Not to mention ordinary people. Even some dignitaries and celebrities have never heard of these things Zhao Zhongyao said.
After listening to what Zhao Zhongyao said, everyone felt that they had benefited a lot. It feels like I have gained a lot of knowledge.
So, everyone started applauding immediately after hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said.
'Crack! Clap! Clap! ---' All the dignitaries and celebrities at the scene applauded Zhao Zhongyao's wonderful speech.
Everyone present felt inspired and knowledgeable from Zhao Zhongyao's speech.
