Chapter 1245

The sun and moon were shining high, the stars were moving, and the broom star was high. It did not bring any disaster to Datang, nor did it affect the daily life of the people.

Even after a while, people rarely look at the broom star in the sky. Even if the broom star disappears in the future, I'm afraid not many people care. This is the boring and ordinary life of ordinary people, and the so-called astronomy, advanced philosophy and the way of immortals are what all schools of thought need to worry about.

perpetual calendar!

This is the latest task to be completed by all schools of thought. After the imperial court decided to reform the calendar, Taoism was the first to seize the most valuable and practical calendar, while Mohism was assigned to reform the calendar.

The lunar calendar, also known as the lunar calendar, needs to re calculate the calendar, which is a huge project. For this reason, Taoists dispatched hundreds of Taoists who are proficient in astronomy and calendar and occupied most of the rooms of the Taishi Bureau.

On the Mohist side, only two people came, that is, master and apprentice Merton.

"Shifu, will this drop the prestige of the Mohist school? Do you want me to call people in the Mohist village, not to mention a hundred people, even thousands of people." Wu Meiniang looked at the Taoist people with a big sister's look.

As soon as Merton pulled out the corner of his mouth, the Mohists were more technical talents. Even all the fine work of modifying the calendar like this didn't work. At present, he stared at Wu Meiniang and said, "don't be rude. The task of the Mohist school is very simple. It's enough for you and me."

"Seriously?" Wu Meiniang didn't believe it. It was revising the astronomical calendar. How could it be such a simple thing.

The fact proved that Wu Meiniang was a little worried. She found that the modification of the solar calendar was too simple, which made him incredible.

"There are 365 days in a year, which are divided into 12 months, but what about the extra five days? Otherwise, we will also implement leap months!" Wu Meiniang frowned.

"Of course not! The reason why the Mohist School formulated the solar calendar is to customize a calendar that remains unchanged for ten thousand years. There is only one leap day in four years. This difference can be almost ignored. If leap months are used, the difference is too great. If the solar calendar wants to be implemented, it must have unique advantages with the monthly calendar. These five days are allocated every 31 days of a month."

"13579, 24680! And what day will the last four years add to the leap day?" asked Wu Meiniang like a crossbow.

Merton thought: "13579 is the 31st day of the big month, and the rest is the 30th day of the normal month. As for the leap year, you can choose October, deduct one day from October, set it as the 29th day, and allocate it to November. In this way, 135791 is the big month, October is the 29th day, leap year is the 30th day, and other months are the 30th day of the small month."

Wu Mei Niang said in surprise, "then why do you want to dig out October one day?"

There were seven other normal months, and Merton picked out one day in October, which puzzled Wu Meiniang.

"That's because my Tang Dynasty has always implemented the post autumn beheading. October is the time of post autumn beheading every year. This month is unlucky. It's better to go early," Merton explained.

"I see?" Wu Meiniang suddenly realized. In this way, the big moon, the small moon and the leap year are perfectly solved, and the basic rules of the solar calendar have been set so far.

Soon, Wu Meiniang wrote down the calendar of twelve months of the year.

"It's over? Meiniang inquired about Taoism, but the monthly calendar formulated there is dense. Tiangan and dizhi chronicles, the 24 solar terms guide the agricultural season, and so on. By contrast, are we simple." Wu Meiniang refused to accept the defeat. Although Mohism and Taoism have a cooperative relationship, Wu Meiniang doesn't want Mohism to lose.

Merton thought about it and added a sentence: "I take a ten day break in Datang. You divide thirty days into three lines and fix the ten day break time."

Wu Meiniang's eyes lit up, Shua Shua Shua several times, and then she made a new calendar, and then went to the Taishi Bureau.

"Shifu, it's not good. Taoism has added divination for bad luck and good luck to guide wedding dress and marriage in the lunar calendar." Wu Meiniang hurried back again.

Merton waved helplessly and said, "we also add the sunrise time and sunset time every day."

The biggest advantage of the solar calendar is that it remains unchanged for ten thousand years. Not only does it remain unchanged in spring, summer, autumn and winter, but also the sunrise and sunset time of each day. In this way, it can better guide people's daily life.

"Master, the Taoist calendar uses Chinese characters!"

"Let's use numbers! It's more clear at a glance."

…………………………

Under Wu Meiniang's running around, although the Mohists and Taoists did not make a real fire, they were also competing in the dark. Unconsciously, both Mohists and Taoists completed the revision of the solar calendar and the lunar calendar.

"Ink offering wine!"

"Li Taishi!"

In the Taishi Bureau, Merton and Li Chunfeng looked at each other, and both eyes showed a strong meaning of school examination. This time, Mohists and Taoists studied the solar calendar and the lunar calendar, which is not only a comparison between the solar calendar and the lunar calendar, but also a competition between Mohists and Taoists.

A hundred schools of thought contend. Naturally, it is necessary to contend. Taoism has been inherited for thousands of years, with profound heritage. The comprehensive revival of Mohism is unstoppable. Taoism cultivates immortals and seeks the way of ghosts and gods, while Mohism pursues rationality and exposes feudal superstition. The two have had a confrontation since ancient times. Today Mohism and Taoism are more cooperative, but they do not have a higher mind.

When the calendar and monthly calendar are displayed in front of everyone at the same time, they instantly attract everyone's attention.

"Big moon, small moon, October leap year, ten day holiday, digital year." Li Chunfeng looked at the solar calendar formulated by Mohism and couldn't help looking surprised,

He originally thought that the Mohist solar calendar was extremely simple and did not pay attention to the Mohist solar calendar at all, but he did not expect that the Mohist son would add so much practical knowledge to the monotonous solar calendar. Although it was far less rich than the monthly calendar, it was already extremely amazing.

"These are just small tricks. The most important thing about a calendar is accuracy, and the most important benchmark to test whether the calendar is accurate is the summer solstice and winter solstice. Li Chunfeng looked at it and couldn't help shrinking his eyes. He found that the summer solstice and winter solstice on the calendar formulated by Mohist school are no worse than the Taoist monthly calendar, and not only this year, but also the leap year in four years The sample is exactly the same

The solar calendar has a cycle of four years. If the silk is not bad within four years, it means that the solar calendar is correct and can be used for ten thousand years.

"The auspicious day of the zodiac, the twenty-four solar terms!...... Taoism really deserves its reputation and has made unique achievements in astronomy and calendar." as soon as Li Chunfeng put down his solar calendar, he heard Merton praise.

Li Chunfeng can't help but feel a little complacent. This time, he abandoned all the disadvantages of the previous calendar, pushed through the old and brought forth the new, and strive to be perfect.

"Mohou's solar calendar is extremely accurate, and the poor road is amazing." Li Chunfeng also nodded slightly. Although the Mohist solar calendar is simple but not simple, accuracy is the greatest advantage in the sun.

"Mo deserves it. If Taoist Li was not generous and allowed bad people to spy on secrets, I'm afraid the Mohist solar calendar would only be generous." Merton shook his head.

Wu Meiniang bowed her head in embarrassment. There was a momentum of secret competition between Mohism and Taoism in revising the calendar, but she haunted the important place of Taoism many times to watch the progress of Taoism. She was indeed a little impolite.

"Mo Hou is polite. The 24 solar terms and the auspicious day of the Yellow Road are not secrets. On the contrary, the emergence of the Mohist school has opened my eyes. Since the calendar formulated by the Mohist School and the Taoist school has been completed, how about we report it to the imperial court." Li Chunfeng didn't care.

"Report to the imperial court?" Morton frowned. "This is natural, but Mo has not heard that a imperial court will implement two sets of calendars. No matter which one your majesty chooses, it will damage the harmony of Dao and Mo families."

Li Chunfeng frowned slightly and said, "what do you mean by Mo Hou?"

"Yin and Yang combined calendar." Merton said word by word.

"Yin Yang calendar!"

Immediately, the two families of Daomo shouted in unison.

Merton nodded: "yes, there are sun and moon in the sky, and each has its own operation. Naturally, Datang needs both a solar calendar and a monthly calendar. No matter which one is lost, it is inconvenient, which is contrary to the significance of losing the formulation of the calendar."

Li Chunfeng was immediately silent. The formulation of the calendar was originally to facilitate the people's life, and it had to be said that the Mohist solar calendar was indeed unique, but he was unwilling to let Taoism completely give up the credit for the formulation of the calendar.
