Chapter 175 Indistinguishable from Friend and Enemy

After three cups of yellow soup, Zhang Yuanyou raised his glass and whispered to the Samoyed Zhexiu sitting next to him,

"My Tan Sect is one of the five great sword sects, and it can be regarded as a well-known name in the Jianghu.

Is it true that this yellow-mouthed child is the suzerain? "

Samoyed didn't have a good impression of the old cow's nose, so he only cared about eating a big piece, and said while gnawing on the sheep stick,
"The matter of your Tan sect is none other than Lao Tzu's matter.

Lao Tzu is from the Su family, and he did not say that he is from the Tan sect.
Too lazy to worry about that leisurely mind. "

Talking to this idiot is really annoying.
Zhang Yuanyou murmured to himself, but he still refused to give up.

"I heard that when Su Jijiu had an accident, that kid Qingyun was also there."

"Oh? What a coincidence?"

Zhang Yuanyou can be regarded as eloquent on weekdays,

But facing this stupid person with an unusual brain circuit in front of him, I really don't know how to guide him.

Just at this moment, four groups of white shadows separated from the crowd and gathered towards Zhe Xiu's seat,

Zhexiutou didn't even look back, he casually threw the half-eaten mutton bone with some leftover meat behind him,
The four smiling dogs jumped up together and rushed to one place.

When the etiquette and law are strict, when did you hear that people and animals sit together?

When the four Samoyeds came running just now, they bumped into a lot of unsuspecting guests, so there were a few splashes of soup.

There was a loud attack on Zhexiu, and there was no need for Zhang Yuanyou to provoke them.

Zhang Yuanyou laughed at himself, it seems that to deal with a foolish person, he only needs to be patient enough to wait for him to commit a foolishness, and the verbal instigation just now is superfluous.

"Noisy!"

Zhexiu didn't respond to the crowd, and just kept feeding the dogs.

Qing Yun also saw that there was a commotion here, and was about to say something to adjust it, so Zhang Yuanyou gave Pang Xiu a wink.

Pang Xiu immediately understood, pretending to be careless, and smashed a porcelain plate to the ground.

Two young people walked out of Tanzong's seat, they looked not much older than Qingyun.

The two clasped their fists together and challenged Qingyun to a fight.
"Stand on your own feet in Xiayu,"

"Yu Ziqiang, I met Tangun.

Just now I heard what Cui Xiu said, celebrating the young hero of the sect master, he has done a lot of great things.

Both my brothers admired me from the bottom of my heart.

It's just that my Tanzong is a martial arts sect after all, and if this status is separated from strength, it is absolutely impossible.

The suzerain Jiu Wenqing has unique attainments in swordsmanship, and even once beat Lan Ruo's head,
I don't know if I can end up giving my brother some pointers at this moment? "

The martial arts sect chooses the suzerain, which is to choose management talents, so the suzerain may not be the strongest martial arts in the sect.

But then again, martial arts sects also have their particularities, and they must be strong to convince the masses.

Even if the suzerain is not the strongest, he should be a first-class expert in the sect.

Therefore, when the suzerains of various factions are running for election, it is normal for some people to refuse to accept and step forward to challenge.

However, Yu's Kunzhong came forward to take the lead, obviously premeditated,

These two brothers can be regarded as top players in Tanzong juniors,

It is indeed very appropriate for them to come forward to defeat Qingyun's spirit.

If Qingyun loses to elders like Zhang Yuanyou, it may not be true that his prestige will be lost.

On the contrary, if it looks good to lose, maybe it can be passed on as a good talk for a while.

Cui Xiu felt that the Yu brothers were not kind, so he prevaricated,
"The suzerain is injured at this time, and he hasn't recovered yet..."

Before Cui Xiu finished speaking, Qingyun got up and stopped the rest of his words,

"It's okay, let's have a chat.

Come, two brothers. "

If he didn't show his hands today, taking Tangun's position might be unfair after all, Qingyun knew it all too well.

Based on his calculations, the Yu brothers are indeed good opponents.
If I can win beauty, I will surely be able to stop many people's mouths.

So he opened his mouth and wanted to fight two at the same time, instead he took the Yu brothers into an army.

The two originally just wanted to challenge one by one, the younger brother will first find out the truth, and the older brother will fight again.

However, Qingyun said this with arrogance, as if he was already invincible among the disciples of Tanzong's younger generation.

They were originally entrusted by others to deliberately humiliate Qingyun,

Seeing Qingyun being so arrogant, his elder brother Yu Zili gritted his teeth and replied,
"Since Sect Master Qing has such means, please give me some advice."

At this time, Qingyun's brain was running fast, analyzing their respective mental activities through their expressions.

According to Tao's psychological introduction, he has already seen that his younger brother Yu Ziqiang is really aroused, and he will definitely take risks, so he will do everything he can.

So Qingyun agreed, without drawing his sword, he picked up a chopstick and flew straight to his elder brother Yu Zili.

Yu Ziqiang secretly laughed in his heart, thinking that the suzerain was so capable, and he was brazenly saying that he would fight two with one,

Unexpectedly, this shot revealed a gap.

Qing Yun used the chopsticks, obviously not wanting to hurt anyone.

Although Yu Ziqiang was angry, he still kept a trace of reason.
Knowing that it would be impolite to draw the sword at this time.

So he handed out the sword with its scabbard, although it was not sharp, but the sword was full of force,
If Qingyun took this blow from the side, he might have his bones broken and his tendons broken, and he would lose his combat power in an instant.

Qingyun had long been aware of his aggressiveness, and reacted instantly, and slid backwards suddenly with the footsteps of a bamboo horse.

Yu Ziqiang charged between his elder brother and Qingyun with his sword in hand,
Yu Zili was instantly cut off from the battle situation.

Qingyun changed his palm with his left hand, following Xizong's way of taking off his technique, swung his palm like drawing a knife, and cut Yu Ziqiang's veins directly.

Although the sword intent is an escape technique, but this sword move is the real Lei Tianda Zhuang,

Ninety-three, villains use strong, gentlemen use weak!

Yu Ziqiang is greedy for merit and rushes forward, reckless and rash, just like a villain uses his strength,

But Qingyun made a plan before moving, hitting him with all his force...

With just a click, Yu Ziqiang's wrist was just swept by Qingyun's palm, and it was instantly dislocated.

The long sword in his hand couldn't hold it, and fell to the ground with a clatter.

Qingyun had already anticipated this result when he made the move, so he didn't look at Yu Ziqiang anymore, but kept paying attention to Yu Zili.

The latter's fierce eyes flashed away, but they did not escape Qing Yun's eyes.

He wants to draw his sword!

Qingyun saw through his psychology in an instant, so his footwork changed, and Yu Ziqiang, who couldn't help howling, leaned on his shoulder.

This leaning didn't use any strength, but Yu Ziqiang was suffering from pain at this moment, and his feet were weak, and after another bump, he staggered and fell into Yu Zili's arms.

Just as Yu Zili was about to draw his sword, his younger brother bumped into him.

He turned around and put his shoulder against his younger brother, his right arm was under pressure, and the speed of drawing the sword slowed down for a moment.

But Qingyun's bamboo horse Lingbo did not slow down, and the chopsticks in his hand did not need any preparations to draw his sword.

A bamboo chopstick stabbed Yu Zili's chest and abdomen accurately,
The diaphragm is under the ribs, without bone protection, and it is extremely painful.

Yu Zili instantly curled up in pain like a shrimp, unable to support his brother's body anymore.

With a thud, the two strong men threw themselves together, rolled into a ball, and couldn't get up for a long time.

Qingyun introduced psychological analysis into martial arts, and stole another trick, making the two opponents a burden to each other.

But others only saw him knock down the Yu brothers with a bamboo chopstick in the flash, the impact is self-evident.

The Yu brothers are already outstanding among Tanzong's younger generation, and they are still not Qingyun's single enemy together!
Shouts of exclamation rang out from all around in an instant, but there was no joy on Ke Qingyun's face.

He knit his eyebrows together and looked at the seats of the Tanzong disciples,
It seems that there is something wrong with the atmosphere.

"""""Knock on the blackboard time"""""

Botulism is a common bacteria found in cured meat.Botulinum toxin is a rare poison in the world, ten thousand times more toxic than potassium cyanide, so does eating cured meat kill you?of course not.Botulinum toxin is not the body of the botulinum toxin, but the product of the decomposition of the dead body of the botulinum toxin through the intestinal tract.There are many cases about the reuse of gold juice in ancient times, such as Indian yellow dye, civet cat coffee... including the extraction of botulinum toxin, um, that's it.

Next, let's get to the topic. After mathematics, we will talk about the calendar.The so-called calendar includes lunar calendar, solar calendar, and yin-solar calendar. In short, this calendar is based on observation of the moon or the observation of the sun.All calendars are nothing more than to solve two basic problems, how to define the year and how to define the month.The concept of day does not need to be defined by the calendar because it is most closely related to the senses.

There are two main calculation methods for the year (other relatively rare calculation methods are temporarily omitted.)
In the year of return, the method of determining the fixed position of the sun's return to the ecliptic is determined by the equinoxes to points of the solar terms.This method can accurately estimate the 24 solar terms and guide the farming time.Used for the Chinese calendar.

A sidereal year, which is used to calculate the actual revolution period of the earth around the sun from an astronomical point of view.This method, well, means that the year can be defined relatively accurately in terms of time measurement.The sidereal year is used by the Western calendar.

There are three main types of month calculations:
Synodic month, moon phase transformation defines the physical month.Used for the Chinese calendar.

The sidereal month, according to the comparison of the positions of the moon and the stars, confirms that the moon actually revolves around the earth.It is reflected in the Chinese calendar, the Indian calendar, and the ancient Babylonian calendar.As for how the Chinese calendar embodies the synodic month and the sidereal month at the same time, it will be described in detail later.

In the head-slapping month, 365/366 days per year will be divided into 12 months. If that month is unlucky (for example, February is the Western custom of beheading the head), then there will be fewer days.If the month is commemorative (e.g. August, Augustus, King), it's fine to reverse the month.This is the moon-fixing principle of the modern Western calendar.

From the above two points, we can see that the Western calendar is based on the sidereal year.The advantage of this calendar is that it is accurate and easy to learn.It is also the most common calendar in the world today.The function of this calendar is particularly single, that is, to record the year.The concept of month has little meaning in this calendar, and the concept of week is not reflected.

The reason why the Chinese calendar is also known as the lunar calendar is because the Chinese calendar is a Houshi calendar, which is itself a calendar for calculating solar terms, guiding farming times, and observing lunar calendars.Because the Chinese calendar takes into account both the phases of the sun and the moon, the Chinese lunar calendar is a lunar calendar rather than a "lunar calendar" as we often say.The practicality of this set of calendars is very strong, but the shortcomings are also obvious.Because the time records of the sun and moon phases are different, there will always be errors. Whether it is seven leaps in 19 years or seven leaps in 20 years, they cannot be perfectly reconciled.Therefore, this set of calendars needs to be revised frequently based on actual measurements. In Chinese history, the compulsory calendar of each dynasty will always be revised every few hundred years.What we are currently using is actually the Zijin calendar compiled by the government of the Republic of China in 1929.This set of calendars is very practical. According to the date, you can know the lunar new year, solar terms, and farming time.But the disadvantage is that it is complicated to use and requires regular maintenance, so it is not easy to promote.

The author does not compare the advantages and disadvantages of Chinese and Western calendars, but from the perspective of calendar formulation, the Western calendar is indeed a set of willful calendars.

Finally, we mainly talk about the concept of the week.Which civilization first proposed the concept of the week, and how did it appear?In fact, as mentioned above, the week is formulated according to the sidereal month and the 27/28 division.There are Chinese calendar, Indian calendar and ancient Babylonian calendar that introduce the sidereal month into the calendar.

In the Chinese calendar, the regularity of the sidereal month is called Lunar Day.The sidereal moon and the moon phase reincarnate in 28 mansions, positioned by 28 stars, and divided into four sections, each of which is seven days long.This is how the Taoist god of duty is defined.In the astronomical phenomenon, the phase of the moon returns once, and it will reincarnate four times according to the gold, wood, water, fire, earth, sun, moon and seven luminaries.Therefore, in the Chinese calendar, there has been a concept of week since ancient times, but we use four weeks as a unit, and use 28 titles in the almanac to rotate.But those who are familiar with 28 constellations will know the concept of 28 constellations divided into four images and seven obsidian.Under the four elephants of the blue dragon, the white tiger, the basalt and the vermilion bird, each has a seven-day reincarnation.

The Indian calendar takes 27 constellations, so they can only use Jiuyao, and three rounds are January.Therefore, in the Hindu calendar, there are not only gold, wood, water, fire, earth, sun, moon, but also two virtual obsidian stars, Rahu and Jidu.I seldom saw someone explaining why India uses Jiuyao and other countries in East Asia use Qiyao. It can only be said that there are not many people studying ancient oriental astronomy knowledge now... hey.

The ancient Babylonian calendar was actually very vague. They used [-] stars to mark the phases of the moon.The distinction between sidereal and synodic months is somewhat ambiguous.But the Western week does come from the observation of the sidereal month in the ancient Babylonian calendar, with a cycle of seven.In the original Babylonian calendar, the cycle of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, sun, moon and seven stars was indeed used to define the "week" period.However, in the western calendar, the concept of week has been separated from the "star" and combined with theology, and the seven days are set in the name of God.The so-called week of the modern Western calendar has nothing to do with the "star".

The week is the embodiment of the sidereal month in the calendar. The modern Western calendar has actually abandoned this concept and only retains the name of the seven-day cycle, while the Eastern calendar retains the soul of the week through the seven days of duty.In contemporary Japan, the method of determining the week by the day of the day is actually the most accurate restoration of the correspondence of the "week" in the Eastern and Western calendars.

Western scholars have argued before that China's Sunday also evolved from the ancient Babylonian calendar.This is an obvious fallacy, and there are two proofs.

First, the coincidence rate of the 28 stars used by ancient Babylon to determine the week and the [-] stars used by China to determine the sun is extremely low. Currently, only three can be determined.

Second, according to the right ascension (equatorial longitude) of the 28 constellations, the ox constellation is in front of the female constellation.The cow constellation originally corresponds to Altair, and the female constellation corresponds to Vega.But now Altair and Vega are both in Niu, and Vega's right ascension is earlier.The astronomical position of Altair and Vega occurred in 3000~3500 BC. (Feng Shi's "Chinese Astronomy and Archeology"; Zhu Kezhen's "The Complete Works of Zhu Kezhen Volume II") Therefore, the birth of China based on the 28-star calendar was at least before 3000-3500 BC, which was longer than the birth time of the incomplete calendar of ancient Babylon morning.
