Chapter 57: Shilin Style
"The most important thing in mathematics is calculation..."
"Today, I and you all want to talk about this arithmetic plan..."
Zhang Yue sat under the shade of the tree and talked freely.
More than two hundred scholars around him listened with their ears and did not dare to miss a single sentence.
Even Yuan Chang stood beside his side obediently, and his followers and diners wrote quickly and recorded quickly.
"Ancient ancestors, knotting ropes to record things..." Zhang Yue said softly: "The rope head has become the first counting tool..."
"At the three generations, there were ancient kings who used calculations to calculate and count, and their method was to control vertical and horizontal lines. They advanced when they met hundreds of times. The secret said: One vertical and ten horizontal lines, one hundred standing and a thousand stalkers, one thousand tens of each other, one hundred equals..."
"This method has been passed down to this day and has been a good tool for numerologists all over the world, and has been widely spread throughout the world..."
"However, it is even more difficult to be skilled. The general public and the average person often spends his whole life without getting the basics..."
"I looked at it below and sighed about the world, so I made an 'abbreviation' to make a family of mathematics and techniques in the world..."
Zhang Yue said as he raised the abacus in his hand.
Naturally, everyone had long noticed the square and strange object in his hand, composed of wooden beads, wooden beams and wooden frames.
Every time he answered Xu Hui and others' questions, he would touch the beads of this creature and then answer them.
Someone has long guessed that this thing is closely related to calculations.
But no one knows how it works?
Even more unknown, how is it calculated?
At this moment, when Zhang Yue took the initiative to mention it, everyone immediately focused, focused all their attention, and circulated every cell in their brain.
The whole world is quiet only by Zhang Yue's voice and the occasional wind blowing the branches.
"Abacus, divided into two rows..." Zhang Yue raised the abacus in his hand and introduced it: "Two upper beams and five lower beams, a total of eleven beams, and seventy-seven pearls..."
"The top bead is one as the bottom bead is five..."
"Since the first beam, it has been listed with tens of tens of tens of tens of tens of millions of tens of millions of tens of millions of tens of millions of tens of millions of tens of millions of tens of millions of tens of millions of tens of millions of tens of millions of tens of millions of tens of millions of tens of millions of tens of millions of tens of millions of tens of millions of tens of millions of
Zhang Yue put down the abacus. At this moment, in the eyes of everyone, this ordinary, ordinary, and extremely simple abacus has become a treasure far more precious than any treasure in the world.
Just Zhang Yue’s introduction just now made them understand one thing - a new computing tool far beyond the old calculations emerged!
Get it! Learn it! Master it!
Everyone yelled in their hearts!
The poor men were even more excited and their faces were flushed.
Because, this thing will definitely be great in the world!
And the first person to get it, learn it, and master the use of it, even a pig, can counterattack and do well.
Three Dukes and Nine Ministers, Chang'an offices, the states and counties in the world...
In the future, there will definitely be a lot of demands and desires for talents who can use this thing for calculations!
And the future of my and others has become clear and there are no more bumps!
"The use of this thing is also very simple..."
Zhang Yue continued to introduce, while calmly observing the many scholars to find the talents that can be created.
Zhang Yue will not hide his personal use and formulas of abacus.
He does not have the so-called grandfathers and aristocratic families of this era.
Some things that will deliberately leave behind and cover up.
This is to benefit one family.
But they didn't know that their actions had resulted in a result that they would not be willing to see - the fruits of the sages were finally gone.
Those technologies, knowledge and classics that once shined in the long river of history were eventually buried deep underground, sleeping with dry bones and accompanying the loess.
For example, "Sun Bin's Art of War" was lost for two thousand years, but it was finally dug out of the Mawangdui in Changsha and made it reappear in the world.
But at that time, what value was this art of war?
It is just displayed in a museum for future generations to admire and appreciate.
What’s even more ridiculous is that because of the selfish desires of some people, Confucianism is incomplete even the Analects of Confucius, the Book of Filial Piety, the Book of Songs, and the Book of Documents.
These classics have a large number of chapters marked as "lost" in later generations.
I remember that Confucius established his studies and had no distinction between teachings and no one would refuse.
But the disciples and grandchildren have treasured themselves and kept it hidden.
I was afraid that others would find out.
Knowledge and technology, if it cannot be promoted and applied.
What did they do invent?
Moreover, facts have proved that only by promoting knowledge and technology can we bring real benefits to those who invent and create them!
If Jack Ma made Alipay in later generations, he would just let himself use it alone...
Then how did his Ali Empire be built?
Therefore, Zhang Yue will definitely not hide his own private interests.
At least, he will not hide the basic functions and basic calculation formulas of abacus.
On the contrary, he will try his best to promote and promote it with all his efforts.
Let more people learn and use them.
The more people used, the greater his reputation, the greater his reputation, the higher his status, the higher his status, and the better his life.
It can benefit the descendants and will never last forever.
But for the time being, he will only teach the people he chooses.
These things are Arabic numerals and some simple mathematical formulas and symbols that people in later generations are well known.
The reason for doing this is not to hide your own private life.
But Zhang Yue knew that in this era, he would rashly propose some new knowledge and new symbols, and he might be attacked as a "single of strange skills and tricks" or even demonized.
In case, these things will be taught to those who can trust them for the time being before their wings are full.
Who can trust it?
Brainless fans and die-hard fans!
What Zhang Yue has to do now is to find those brainless fans who can be trusted from these more than 200 people through observation, contact and understanding.
By drawing and helping these people, we gradually build our own small groups.
While observing everyone, Zhang Yue demonstrated how to use the abacus.
"If one plus one, it is one on one..."
"Every ten plus one, one goes up to five and four, one goes up to nine and one goes up to one..."
"Add two, two on two, two on five on three, two on eight on one..."
"Add three, three up three, three down five to two, three going seven into one..."
………………………………………
With Zhang Yue's narration and demonstration, everyone present felt that a new door in front of him was slowly being pushed open, a new world and a new mathematics world, which was vast and boundless, and was presented to everyone.
Mathematics, a field that was once difficult to understand and difficult to calculate by ordinary people, has already appeared in cracks.
After having an abacus, from then on, poor people and middle-aged people will probably be able to talk and laugh at mathematics and give advice on arithmetic like elites.
In the past, the era of cumbersome and brain-hardening calculations that needed to rely on calculations was probably gone forever!
And I and others are fortunate to be the first to learn and use this brand new tool.
As long as you have completed your studies, you will have a magical skill that can be passed down from family and as the family background!
Everyone is surging and unable to suppress themselves.
Zhang Yue didn't care about these things and just talked about them slowly.
Finish the usage formulas and methods of addition and reduction on the abacus.
He stopped and asked, "Did you remember it?"
Of course, many people are immersed in surprise and shock and do not remember them all at all.
He immediately beat his chest and stamped his feet, regretting it.
I thought I missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Those who concentrate and concentrate on each word on the bamboo slips immediately protect their books like a hen protecting the chicken.
"Since I didn't remember, I'll just say it again..."
"Zhang Sheng Da Ge!" Suddenly, countless people were prostrated and worshiped him with great worship!
In today's world, even the teacher will probably not be able to explain and demonstrate to their students so much.
Did you not remember the teacher when he was giving a lecture?
Want the teacher to speak again?
impossible!
The teacher is absent from the lecture?
Rotten wood cannot be carved, what should you do?
However, Zhang Yue smiled slightly, without any concern for this, and once again talked about the formulas of addition and multiplication.
Then, he picked up the abacus and in front of everyone, his hands were like lightning, constantly tying the abacus, and he kept reciting the abacus in his mouth.
It was a crackling operation, but in just a moment, he completed the process of adding one to ten and then subtracting from ten to one.
Only then did everyone understand that Zhang Yue was answering Xu Hui and others why they moved the abacus beads.
It turned out that he was calculating at that time!
And this calculation efficiency and method are simply amazing!
If I could do this, then...
Countless people have become imaginative and fallen into fantasy of a bright future.
"The way to abacus is to practice, and you are looking for someone to do abacus and practice day and night. After three days, you will talk about the way of multiplication and division..." Zhang Yue picked up the abacus and stood up to say.
Of course, Zhang Yue would not finish this abacus in one go.
How can you gain reputation and hype yourself in this way?
Nowadays, how can you become popular without hype?
When everyone heard this, they stood up one after another, bowed respectfully, and said, "Give me a visit to Zhang Jun (Zhang Gong)..."
Until this time, all the scholars and nobles thought they were impressed by Zhang Yue.
Generous and righteous, patient and fair.
Such a person is not a gentleman, who is still a gentleman?
Yuan Chang immediately followed Zhang Yue, and said softly like a young wife: "Disciple Chang Gong sends the teacher..."
"Ahem..." Zhang Yue only felt his face twitching, and this guy really stuck to him!
Faced with such shameless and rich candy, Zhang Yue had no choice for the time being.
It can only be done with an attitude of not admitting or denying.
As for Xu Hui and others, the eyes that looked at Zhang Yue at this moment had completely changed.
"A genius..." Xu Hui stood up, dusted his clothes, and his eyes were even full of admiration when he looked at Zhang Yue.
Just solving the pi has already made Xu Hui know that he will never catch up with Zhang Zizhong's back in his lifetime.
Only look up to each other!
As soon as the abacus and abacus formula came out, he understood even more that he might not even have the qualification to look up to the other party!
What to do?
Confucius said, only by knowing shame can one be brave!
Under the influence of the great revenge thought, the self-esteem and shame of the Han scholars and officials was particularly strong.
Different from the fur that Neon later learned in history.
For the Han people, being defeated is a shame.
After being humiliated, the first reaction was to fight back.
If you find that you are not the opponent's opponent after counterattack.
Then, learning from the other party and taking the other party as a teacher will become the last option for this person.
Learn his strengths, his thoughts, culture, and technology.
Use this to transform yourself.
In the end, the master can defeat him!
This is the ultimate path!
For example, King Wuling of Zhao was wearing a Hu clothing and riding a sprint, and Gongyang scholars all over the world praised it, believing that this was the journey of the Saint King.
Before the Han Dynasty came to power, it was suppressed by the Hun cavalry.
Therefore, the Han army also took the initiative to learn and imitate the Hun cavalry and formed a large number of field cavalry units.
In the first year of Yuanguang, General Wei Qing led the Han cavalry to take the initiative to go out to the frontier and attack the hearts of the Huns, opening the prelude to the Han-Hungarian War!
Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, Xu Hui followed Yuan Chang firmly, attached himself behind Zhang Yue, like a concubine, lowered his eyebrows and looked smoothly, and served his left and right as a disciple.
After Xu Hui, Wu Yuan also gritted his teeth and followed.
Then, several other people looked at each other, and all lowered their heads and followed.
And this is exactly the spiritual outlook of the scholar-officials of this era!
Failure and setbacks are not scary!
Confucius once experienced setbacks and traveled around the world without anyone using it.
Mencius also traveled to various countries and was despised.
Even Xunzi was humiliated when he entered Qin.
However……
Now, who is the winner? Who is the master?
Failure and setbacks are not shameful. On the contrary, this is tempering, motivation, encouragement, and this is the only way to grow.
No one will be depressed by their failures and setbacks.
For the Han people, what is truly terrible is never failure.
King Goujian of Yue was defeated and had nothing.
But he slept on firewood and tasted gall, lived for ten years, taught lessons for ten years, and accused him of the world.
The State of Chu was also defeated.
However, although Chu has three households, Chu will surely be destroyed!
Xiang Yu's troops entered Xianyang, and a fire burned all the pride and honor of the Qin people!
The Huns also once showed off their power on the Great Wall.
But what about now?
The Shanyu retreated to the northern desert and could only rely on the natural dangers of the desert to survive.
The Han army marched straight into the palace, and there was no royal court in Munan.
When the barbarians saw the Han people, they didn’t even dare to bend their bows to each other!
In recent years, Fang Dan has occasionally walked out of the vast sea and harassed the Han family's frontier.
But, they can no longer threaten the Great Wall!
The Han army had already burned the war to the Huns' nests and hinterland!
All these facts tell the Han literati and officials a fact that it doesn’t matter if they are not as skilled as others, and failure doesn’t matter.
As long as the breath is still alive and as long as the blood is not cold, there will be a way to avenge the shame!
If you are beaten, then you will be beaten back.
If you can't beat it, learn from the other party.
Learn the knowledge and skills of the enemy or opponent, and then beat them back!
The Spring and Autumn Period said: Duke Xiang regained his hatred for nine generations!
Qu Zi said: The road is long and arduous, and I will search up and down.
Yi Yun: Heaven moves hard, and a gentleman strives forever!
Xing Tian dances with a gangster, and his strong ambitions are always there!
And this is the style of the Han family's Shilin.
Although, for Xu Hui and Wu Yuan, today's experience and changes are far from being avenged until the other party falls.
But they did feel the gap between themselves and Zhang Yue.
I did feel a deep sense of powerlessness and humiliation.
To calm this shame, you must make your back straighten up again.
Chapter completed!
