How much does Fang Yizhi know about physics?

Taichang carefully opened "Physics Knowledge" and looked carefully.

The first page of the volume is self-description, which means that everything can be inferred through analogy and experimentation.

This is enough to prove that his descriptions in the test paper are all from his personal cognition.

Then comes the overview of the main text.

Because this is just an overview and has not been written yet, the writing is a bit complicated, and the main content is the chapter titles, and then the following sentence or a few sentences are roughly described below for each chapter title.

This is like an outline, just describing what is roughly in the chapter he is going to write.

Taichang was shocked after reading a few chapter titles.

This kid is such a genius!

What is he going to write?

Principles of celestial phenomena, qi theory, sound theory, light theory, earth circle theory, yellow equator, poles, three elements, five elements, wind, rain and thunder!

These are not written in a nonsense, they have really studied them.

For example, according to the principle of astronomical phenomena, people guess that Venus and Mercury revolve around the sun.

For example, in Qi theory, people say that air is also a substance.

For example, in the sound theory, people mentioned how sound occurs and how it spreads, and also mentioned resonance and sound wave reflection.

For example, in the theory of light, people mention the scattering, reflection and refraction of light.

For example, in the Earth Round, people mentioned that the Earth is a sphere like a walnut, with the protruding mountains and the concave sea.

For example, in the Yellow Equator, people mention the equator, meridian, longitude and latitude.

For example, among the two poles, people mention magnetic fields and magnetic effects.

My God, is this a person from this era?

Taichang was really shocked. He really didn't expect that people would have such a deep understanding of physics these days.

However, he turned to the back and showed a hint of astonishment on his face.

Why?

Because this kid is really very complicated to study.

What's behind this?

Geography, divination, medicine, medicine, diet, clothing, minerals, utensils, plants, birds and beasts, ghosts and gods, alchemy, strange things!

Oh my god, you guys are crazy, are you?

Human energy is limited, and human life is limited. How can you study all these thoroughly in your limited life!

The problem is that this guy has been studying all these things.

For example, in medicine, he mentioned arteries, organs, bones, muscles, blood types, surgery, etc. He even mentioned pig disease, chicken disease, cow disease, horse disease, etc.

For example, in his diet, he mentioned how to make wine, how to make soy sauce, how to make tofu, how to make sugar, etc.

For example,

In the minerals, he mentioned how to prospect, how to smel gold, silver, copper, iron and tin, how to refine tribute slurry, and even how to burn glass!

Why are you studying so many things?

Taichang looked through it carefully for a while, then closed the book, sighed slightly, "Mizhi, why did you learn more?"

Fang Yizhi quickly explained: "Your Majesty, students have loved reading since childhood. After ten years of hard work, students still felt unsatisfied after reading the classics, history, and literature collections, so they began to read the books in their homes and became teachers. Therefore, they have a wide range of knowledge. The books students read are indeed too complicated. If the emperor had not taught the liberal arts and science subjects, the students would probably not have passed the exam for the Juren."

He is indeed very smart. He could hear it with just one word from Taichang. The emperor thought he had learned too much.

After hearing his explanation, Taichang suddenly realized that this kid is only nineteen years old!

He couldn't help but wonder: "When did you start studying, and when did you become a scholar? "

Fang Yizhi said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, the student started studying at the age of five, and after ten years of hard work, he was just fifteen, and then he was lucky enough to pass the exam for the scholar."

This kid actually passed the exam for scholar at the age of fifteen!

Taichang asked again: "Is your family a scholarly family? How many books do you have in your family?"

Fang Yizhi hurriedly said modestly: "When you go back to the emperor, the student's family dare not claim to be a scholarly family. The student's family only entered the official career since his great-grandfather's generation. There are roughly a few books in the student's family."

How many houses of books?

Does your family open a library?

Books are not cheap these days, and the value of books a few houses is simply immeasurable.

Four generations collected several houses of books. Someone in this Fang family should have served as a senior official of the court who had been above the fifth rank, otherwise, he would never have collected so many books.

Among this kid's elders, there are probably people he knows.

Taichang thought about it and asked again: "Let my great-grandfather start to enter the career of officialdom. Who have served as officials in the court?"

This is originally very impolite to call the elders, but when the emperor asks about it, he has to tell the truth.

Fang Yizhi quickly introduced: "The student's great-grandfather Fang Xuejian was awarded the title of Shaoqing of Dali Temple because of his great-grandfather.

The student's Bozu Fang Dazhen was a Jinshi in the 17th year of Wanli and also served as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple;

The student’s uncle Fang Daxuan once served as the head of the Ministry of Revenue as a juren;

The student's father Fang Kongzhao was a Jinshi in the 44th year of Wanli. He is currently the right assistant censor of the Censorate and once governed by Huguang."

Originally, he was a descendant of Fang Xuejian, one of the founders of the Tongcheng School. No wonder he was so knowledgeable and talented.

The governor of Huguang Fang Kongzhao had some impression that it seemed that the Censorate was stationed in Huguang to manage military and civil affairs when he was encircling and suppressing the rebels.

This family is full of talents!

The problem is that such a scholarly family of officials should not study such strange things!

Taichang thought about it and asked again, "Who did you learn physics from?"

Fang Yizhi hurriedly replied: "The students' physics is learned from their mentor Wang Xuan. The mentor has written the book "The Institute of Physics", and the students have benefited a lot. Therefore, the students want to compile a book "Small Physics Knowledge" to promote physics."

Wang Xuan?

"School of Physics"!

This is another buried talent!

Taichang couldn't help but ask, "Where is Master Ling now?"

Fang Yizhi said sadly: "My teacher has died of illness because he is old."

Alas, what a pity.

Taichang has figured it out. This family is a famous descendant of Zhiben, with a family background, and a talented person, loves to study and study. He has also studied physics, so it is not surprising that he has achieved such an achievement.

What is strange is that how could such a peerless genius be buried?

Also, this "Small Knowledge of Physics" and is in line with the "School of Physics" and did not appear because of his influence.

In other words, no matter whether he came to this world or not, Fang Yizhi would definitely compile "Physical Knowledge".

Question, why is such a strange book unknown in history?

In fact, this has a lot to do with the party struggles in the late Ming Dynasty and the demise of the Ming Dynasty in history.

Because Fang Yizhi is a member of Fushe, he reads books at www.uukanshu.com Fushe, Yi Donglin regards himself as a successor, and is incompatible with the remnants of the eunuch party.

Therefore, in history, he was trampled by Wen Tiren and trampled by Xue Guoguan, trampled by Xue Guoguan and trampled by Zhang Zhifa. After Zhang Zhifa, he was trampled by Ruan Dacheng, so he had no chance to stand out.

He was trampled on the Chongzhen Dynasty and the Hongguang Dynasty. It was not until the orthodox Ming Dynasty represented by Chongzhen was destroyed, and until the Hongguang Dynasty of the Southern Ming Dynasty was destroyed, he had the opportunity to stand out in the Yongli Dynasty of the Southern Ming Dynasty and became a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet.

Unfortunately, he was powerless to turn things around at that time.

After the Yongli Dynasty in the Southern Ming Dynasty was destroyed, he had to become a monk to show that his loyal ministers did not serve the two masters.

The problem is that Feng Quan, the remnants of the eunuch party in power in the Shunzhi Dynasty and the Kangxi Dynasty, was still Feng Quan, the books he wrote were banned.

This ban lasted for nearly three hundred years!

In other words, his books never appeared on the market.

This "Physical Knowledge" was indeed a strange book that transcends the times in the early stage of Mi Qing, but it is nothing after three hundred years.

Because the things he wrote have almost become well-known natural science theories three hundred years later, and they are simply not considered strange books that transcend the times.
