Statue of Guo Shoujing
Guo Shoujing inherited his grandfather Guo Rong's family business in his early years and devoted himself to mathematics, astronomy and water conservancy. His teacher is also a very talented person named Liu. Later, when Kublai Khan recalled Liu, he introduced Guo Shoujing to his good friend. Zhang Zuo Qian Wen recommended Guo Shoujing, and Guo Shoujing was summoned by Kublai Khan in Yuan Shizu. This gave him the opportunity to put forward six water conservancy suggestions to Kublai Khan. Kublai Khan agreed and appointed Guo Shoujing to build all roads and canals. It played an important role in water conservancy in Xixia and Guo Shoujing, and many water conservancy problems in Yuan Dynasty were solved by Guo Shoujing. Many musical instruments were left in Yuan and Jin Dynasties, which caused inaccurate timing and damage. Kublai Khan asked Guo Shoujing to reform these musical instruments.
In fact, his greatest contribution is to compile the Chronological Calendar. In order to compile the calendar, he has been creating and improving dozens of astronomical instruments and meters, such as altimeter, climatology instrument, simple instrument, armillary sphere, vertical motion instrument, landscape symbol, reflector, voyeur and so on. It took a long time. After the completion of the research, in order to commemorate Guo Shoujing's achievements, people now named a crater on the surface of the moon as "Guo Shoujing Crater" and an asteroid of 20 12 as "Guo Shoujing Asteroid". Moreover, after the death of the King of Qin, Guo Shoujing took over imperial academy and compiled books such as Pu Shu, Licheng and French in Xiangyi.
The story of Guo Shoujing.
Guo Shoujing was a famous water conservancy expert and astronomer in Yuan Dynasty. He edited many works in his life, which had a great influence on later generations.

His grandfather Guo Rong was a famous scholar in Jin and Yuan Dynasties. Thanks to his teaching, Guo Shoujing studied the Five Classics and knew astronomy like the back of his hand. His teacher is also a very famous person. His teachers are Liu and Liu, who are proficient in Confucian classics and astronomy. They also taught Guo Shoujing a lot. What interesting stories happened in Guo Shoujing's scientific research career?
When Guo Shoujing/Kloc-was 0/5 years old, a guest suddenly came. This guest is none other than a monk of Tianning Temple in Wu 'an, whose legal name is Zi Cong. Monks are very familiar with astronomy, geography, arithmetic and music. He came to visit Guo Shoujing because he had a deep friendship with Guo Shoujing's father, Guo Rong. My father is studying with the Zi Cong brothers. The monk rubbed the lotus and asked Guo Shoujing's father, "This is the lotus in the sky. The container is mainly in the shape of lotus, lotus and lotus leaf, which is called' leakage lotus'. Lotus leakage is exquisitely designed. Unfortunately, due to the long war, I drew this picture on a discounted stone tablet. I thought about it, but I didn't understand the mystery. "
At that time, a very young Guo Shoujing heard the conversation between them. He thinks he has never seen such a complicated timing tool. He had a plan in mind, so he asked Monk Zi Cong for lotus flowers and said that he had an idea. Half a month later, I came to the Guo family to collect the lost lotus rubbings. Guo Shoujing introduced the structure of leakage load and the use of each part to Zicong. Zi Cong was very happy after hearing the news and praised Guo Shoujing as a child prodigy. When Guo Shoujing's father heard this, he bluntly didn't know that Guo Shoujing was a child prodigy. He paints and does arithmetic in his room every day. Later, Zi Cong felt that Guo Shoujing was very talented, so he took Guo Shoujing to Wu 'an Zijin Mountain for further study.
Guo Shoujing spirit
Guo Shoujing was a famous water conservancy expert and astronomer in Yuan Dynasty. In his early years, he studied the Five Classics, astronomy, mathematics and water conservancy from his grandfather Guo Rong's family. After meeting Kublai Khan, he put forward six suggestions to solve the water conservancy problem, and then Kublai Khan sent him to supervise the water conservancy. Later, after entering imperial academy, he and Wang Xun began to make a new calendar together. Finally, it
1986, Guo Shoujing Memorial Hall built in Beijing Dahuoquan Park was completed. As one of the founders of modern astronomy, Academician Wang Shouguan once commented on Guo Shoujing. In the 700-year cultural history of China, the achievements of China's contemporaries in astronomy are far less than those brought by Guo Shoujing. Guo Shoujing's love of astronomy has never been affected. In the harsh environment, he also ran around and set up observation points. In order to observe the data he wanted, he could say that he made many perfect instruments at that time. Isn't this precious spirit worth learning? Guo Shoujing has a great spirit.
In memory of Guo Shoujing, a main street in Xingtai is now named "Guo Shoujing Street". 198 1 year, to commemorate Guo Shoujing's 750th birthday, the international astronomical society decided to name a crater on the moon after Guo Shoujing, and the asteroid 20 12 was also named after Guo Shoujing. Historically, Guo Shoujing has done surveys in various places, served as the supervisor of Dushui River and presided over the regulation of Tonghui River. In this way, we feel that Guo Shoujing's great scientific contribution made China astronomy in the leading position in the world at that time, and its brilliant achievements were unparalleled.
Guo Shoujing's achievements.

He wrote many books in his life, which had a great influence on later generations. His grandfather Guo Rong was a famous scholar in Jin and Yuan Dynasties. His teacher is also a very famous person.

Portrait of Guo Shoujing
Guo Shoujing was recommended by Zuo Cheng and Zhang Wenqian, and Guo Shoujing was summoned by Yuan Shizu Kublai Khan. Then Guo Shoujing put forward six suggestions to improve water conservancy projects in front of Kublai Khan. Kublai Khan adopted these suggestions, and later appointed Guo Shoujing to be responsible for repairing access roads and canals. Later, he served as assistant minister of industry. When Kublai Khan mentioned Liu's suggestion before his death, he asked for the revision of the new calendar and put forward the correct proposition that "the source of the calendar lies in the examination, and the instrument of the examination cannot be the first". Later, imperial academy was established, and the king of Qin was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the empire. Guo Shoujing's colleague. Four years later, they made a "time calendar", which has been used for more than 360 years. In addition, Guo Shoujing has been to Tanglai, China, and the ancient canal in Han Yan, and built sluices to irrigate local farmland. In imperial academy, under the leadership of Guo Shoujing, all members of imperial academy conducted a nationwide astronomical survey, which was called "Four Seas Experiment".
After Wang Xun's death, Guo Shoujing introduced national history to the whole people in the year of national history. At the same time, he edited many works such as Pu Shu and Li Cheng. Because of the Civil War, after Guo Shoujing came to Xixia, he surveyed the topography and water conditions on both sides of the Yellow River and drew a map. In less than a year, he repaired more than 65,438+00 Han Yan canals and major canals, including more than 250 Li Long canals. Later, he also contributed to the improvement of astronomical instruments. Since the musical instruments of the Yuan Dynasty were left over from the Jin Dynasty, which affected their use, Guo Shoujing began to improve them, and later made great improvements.
