The main contents of congenital image mathematics in the Northern Song Dynasty include congenital Yi-ology, congenital mathematics and congenital nature. This school believes that everything in the world has certain laws and order, which can be explored through the combination of mathematics and Yi-ology. Congenital Yi-ology is a theory that explains natural and social phenomena with the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, while congenital mathematics is a theory that describes natural and social phenomena with mathematical methods.
Shao Yong is a representative of this school, and he has made many outstanding contributions in this field. According to Shao Yong's theory of innate Yi-ology, everything in the universe is composed of two basic elements, Yin and Yang, which constantly interact and evolve to form various phenomena. He used this theory to deeply analyze and study the phenomena of heaven and earth, nature and society, and formed a complete theoretical system.
Shao Yong's introduction:
Shao Yong was a famous scholar, mathematician and astronomer in the Northern Song Dynasty, and his academic thoughts occupied an important position in history. He was born in Huixian County, Henan Province. He was intelligent and eager to learn since he was a child, and was deeply appreciated by academic celebrities at that time.
Shao Yong's academic thoughts are mainly embodied in three aspects: innate Yi-ology, innate mathematics and innate nature. He explained natural phenomena and social phenomena with the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, and thought that everything in the world was composed of five elements: gold, wood, water, fire and earth. These five elements constantly interact and evolve, forming various different phenomena.
Shao Yong also advocated the combination of mathematics and Yi-ology, describing natural and social phenomena with mathematical methods, and exploring the laws and order of all things in the world.
The core of Shao Yong's innate mathematics thought is the combination of numbers and shapes. He believes that number is the origin of all things in the world, like the form and phenomenon of all things in the world. He put forward a series of new mathematical theories and calculation methods, such as congenital eight diagrams and sixty-four hexagrams, which had a far-reaching impact on the fields of mathematics and astronomy at that time and laid the foundation for the development of mathematics and astronomy in later generations.
