What is "slash youth"?

Simply put, "slash youth" is a group with multiple occupations and identities.

For example:

Da Vinci who painted eggs was not only a painter, but also a sculptor/architect/musician/mathematician/engineer/inventor/anatomist/geologist/cartographer/botanist and writer.

Lu Xun, who is always swearing, is both a writer and a civil servant/teacher;

Da Bing, who wanders from nine to five, thinks he is a writer, but he is actually a host/bar owner/wandering singer/poet.

Although the birth of the fashionable concept of "slash youth" is the product of the times, in fact, if we trace back to the source, in the Qing Dynasty more than 200 years ago, some people had already experienced a colorful life under the label.

Who is this man?

Recently, someone in Weibo shared a story about seeing a lady looking up at the starry sky with a telescope on an old postcard abroad. Judging from her dress, I thought she was Japanese, but after consulting an expert in ancient astronomy, I realized that she was a female astronomer named Wang of the Qing Dynasty in China.

As soon as this Weibo was issued, it immediately aroused the curiosity of netizens. They searched on their own and found that this woman, who had only lived for 29 years, had written 64 volumes, covering astronomy, geography and mathematics, and put forward a more convincing explanation of the earth circle and solar eclipse theory than the West. ...

As a woman, the knowledge structure is so rich and diverse, which is really admirable.

0 1, Xueba Wang Yizhen

This senior over 200 years ago is familiar with astronomy and good at arithmetic.

The earth is round, but why don't people standing on the edge of the earth and in the lower hemisphere fall down?

This question is rarely considered or answered.

Wang gave a popular explanation. She said in "On the Circle of the Earth" that "people live on the earth, and every side is right. Seeing a different place is oblique, and the place where they stand should also be oblique. If not now, why not wear the sky for the first time and walk on the ground? "

The general idea of this passage is: people on the ground are centered on where they live, so from a distance, other places are inclined, and it seems that they should all fall down, but in fact they are not. Isn't it because there are people everywhere, the sky covers the ground and the ground is under your feet?

Simply put: the universe is so big, what's the difference between up and down? Everywhere you go, there is sky on everyone's head, and the ground is standing.

Western countries put forward gravity, but no one explained "round place" clearly. Wang's understanding is much more advanced than "round place".

In addition, Wang's explanation of solar and lunar eclipses is also highly praised by western scientists.

The cause of the matter should start with Zhang Heng's spirit fairy. The theory of the cause of the eclipse is recorded in Lingxian, but it is only a statement, and it is contrary to reality and has been ignored for a long time.

Wang pondered this theory and questioned it: "The eclipse occurred at night, when the sun had disappeared. If there is a sun between the earth and the moon, how does it get to the moon? "

Soon, this problem came to a conclusion after passing the experiment.

On a happy Spring Festival, the whole family went out to play after the New Year's Eve dinner, and only Wang stayed in the room. Mom was surprised, so she went over to find out.

I saw her regard the mirror as the moon, the lamp as the sun and the round table as the earth. While moving the lamp and mirror, she observed their positions and their relationship, trying to simulate the formation of the solar eclipse.

It is such a simple instrument, from which Wang realized the laws of solar eclipse and lunar eclipse, and wrote the book Eclipse Solution, which directly explained the reasons for the rise and fall of the moon and the eclipse.

Besides astronomy, Wang is also very good at mathematics.

Being immersed in the "library" at home since childhood, Wang became interested in mysterious and endless operations.

At that time, the tools people used to calculate were called "computing chips", mostly made of bamboo, but also made of wood, animal bones, ivory, metal and other materials. From China to Ming Dynasty, calculation was gradually replaced by abacus. At the beginning of17th century, the British mathematician Napier invented the calculation method of calculation, which was introduced to China in the late Ming Dynasty and called "calculation".

Wang wrote three books, which supplemented and explained the western planning to make it simple and clear, and repeatedly explained the origin of pythagorean strings, the relationship between them and the calculation method in the solution of pythagorean triangle.

These mathematical achievements were written by her as "Planning and Understanding".

In that ancient age of ignorance, everything was very limited, and all the king could rely on was her eyes and mind.

It is precisely because of careful observation, in-depth and rigorous thinking and persistent experiments that we have made great achievements in the field of science.

02. Queen Man Yizhen

Wang's ancestral home is Tianchang, Anhui, and his ancestral home is Nanjing. Grandfather used to be a magistrate in Xuanhua, but later he was demoted to Jilin for offending his superiors. At the age of 1 1, Wang visited his grandfather outside Shanhaiguan with his grandmother and father and lived in Jilin for four years.

During this period, she learned riding and shooting from the wife of General A of Mongolia, "crossing the horse and crossing the knife, flying back and forth", and even practiced the superb skill of "accurate shooting".

/kloc-at the age of 0/6, she accompanied her father and others to escort grandpa's coffin back to Nanjing. Then I went from Kyoto to Kansai with grandma, dad, uncle and others, and from Hubei to Guangdong. I returned to Nanjing three years later.

She elaborated on her life during this period and said, "I remember traveling around the mountains and the sea, climbing mountains and mountains quickly, reading Wanli thousands of books, and trying to be more ambitious than my husband."

Mao Zedong has a poem: Children in China are full of strange wishes. They don't like red clothes, but weapons.

In a few words, the image of Chinese sons and daughters who are ambitious and heroic is all in the pen.

Wang is also such a "Chinese son and daughter". Although she was born in the dynasty when women bound their feet, she was not a good family who grew up in an inner room. No one knew her. She read and embroidered quietly every day without leaving the house.

What she yearns for is a happy life of galloping on horseback and living in the drizzle.

? Wang also opposed the feudal idea that men are superior to women, thinking that men and women are human beings, that knowledge is not designed for men, and that women also have the right to acquire knowledge, and that women can only engage in grain sewing.

While enjoying the magnificent mountains and rivers of the motherland, she left a lot of poems with broad vision and no powder or white.

For example, in Fuchun Road, the sense of drought and drought is unified: "Thousands of miles away, there are greenish yellow and bare land destroyed by Hiderigami. The cottage went home several times, and the rich heard about Su Chencang. Runaways usually fill the valley and shout to the top of the mountain. Artemisia is poor, and the official is still in a hurry to collect food. "

Worrying about the country and the people is comparable to Du Fu.

When passing through Tongguan, she wrote a poem "Passing through Tongguan": "Passing through the mouth, Guan Xiong controls Kyushu. Heavy door and strict analysis of the key, according to the throat. Under a thousand rocks in the daytime, the Yellow River flows. In the southeast standard protection sector, it is also difficult to move. "

The poem is short, pithy, uninhibited and widely circulated, so that the great poet Yuan Mei praised it after reading it, and thought it was "chivalrous, unlike a woman".

It can be said that Wang is free and easy, with broad vision and lofty realm, and he does not lose men at all.

03, the poisonous tongue king

In addition to learning tyrants and female men, Wang Weiren in life is straightforward and sharp.

Her friend wrote some poems and thought they were good, so she asked for advice.

After reading it, Wang said rudely, "There is a great floating in the mind, and the law is qi-deficient, and there is more than enough to do."

What do you mean? One word "rotten!"

My best friend asked her to preface the new book because she admired her talent. Who knows, Wang didn't even give her face, but turned to the book and refused, bluntly saying that "such people and talents don't deserve my preface."

One year when there was a famine, an official's wife did charity work and copied a copy of Heart Sutra with her own hands, intending to print and distribute it in order to eliminate disasters and reduce happiness.

Mrs. Guan has a good relationship with Wang and wants to ask her for a preface. Wang still refused, on the grounds that it was more practical to spend money to help the people than to build temples and support Rinpoche.

The king of Strange Girl lived for 29 years, and he didn't change his words before he died. She said to her husband, "Your family is poor, so it may not be a bad thing for me to leave first."

Wang's frankness is sharp, without affectation or secular habits, which shows the innocence of young people and is also an informal human nature, simple, natural and clear.

04. Slant line juvenile king, "After Zhao Ban, one person is right."

Looking back on Wang's life, it is not colorful.

1 1 years old, I read the books of famous scientists such as Zhang Heng and Zu Chongzhi, and came into contact with a very different world.

/kloc-started studying abroad at the age of 0/6 and went all the way to Beijing, Shaanxi, Hubei and Guangdong. Read thousands of books, take Wan Li Road, and enrich your life experience.

/kloc-When he was 0/8 years old, he ended his trip and settled in Nanjing with his family.

Women in ancient times always got married very early. 18 years old, she is old enough to get married. However, regardless of prejudice, she still immersed herself in scientific research. From 65,438+08 to 24 years, she devoted herself to science.

At the age of 25, she got married, and her husband was a young man named Zhan Mei.

Jamie is Wang's good helper. He followed Wang Xuexi, helped to sort out manuscripts, and ran for the publication of Wang's works. This is really valuable in feudal society.

Because of his weak body and staying up late studying for a long time, Wang died of illness soon after his marriage at the age of 29.

Wang's contribution to science is self-evident. Strangely, few people in China know about her, let alone see information about her.

However, in foreign countries, Wang Zai's reputation is not small.

On February 8, 2000, an asteroid was discovered by Schmidt CCD Asteroid Program of Beijing Observatory. The International Astronomical Union named this asteroid Wang Zhenyi Wang Zhenyi with code 43259.

20 18 Talithia Williams, a professor of mathematics at Harvey Mudd college in the United States, published a book, The Power of Mathematics, which specifically introduced women who have made great contributions to the development of mathematics, including a chapter devoted to Wang.

Wang often appears in some foreign language books that specifically introduce scientists. A book entitled "Women in Science" lists 50 female pioneers in science, including the story of Wang.

Even on foreign social networking sites, she is the object that foreigners like to describe.

The queen's life in Qing dynasty was short, but it had far-reaching influence.

She has read widely since childhood, loved astronomy, and persisted in observing meteorology for several years. She has unique research in astronomy and mathematics, and has made remarkable achievements in geography, literature, history, meteorology, medicine and so on, which is commendable in an environment where women's education level is generally low.

Her story is not as beautiful and famous as Eight Beauty in Qinhuai, but her outstanding knowledge and contribution in the fields of mathematics, astronomy and medicine. Far more than Qinhuai women flirting with the moon.

If we introduce her in today's "slash" context, it should be an astronomer/mathematician/geographer/writer/historian. ...

In a word, Wang knows Chinese and Western, ancient and modern, astronomy and geography, is outstanding and ahead of the times, and deserves the praise of "the only person after Ban Zhao".

The torrent of the times is rolling forward, and the forces that push it need to be remembered and remembered.

? Wang, this is a name that can carry "eternity".
