My charming but short-lived ancestor: I remember that Mo Zhai and Lu Ban once conducted sand table deductions. Is it true?
I send my thoughts to the bright moon: This is true!

My charming, short-lived ancestor: So who wins?
Who in the clouds sent a brocade book: It seems to be Mo Zhai!

Wudu refused: It must be Mo Zhai! Mozi was once on par with Confucius
Wan Ning can’t sleep. (Guan): Is it true or false? Is the Mo family really that powerful?
My dear, don’t leave: It’s true that Mohism was very popular during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. Unfortunately, Emperor Wu later deposed all schools of thought and only respected Confucianism.

Ying Zheng/Liu Che: Stop saying that you only respect Confucianism! ! !

care: So who knows what is going on between them?
Fuling (Guan): Please @祥玥 at this time!

While they were arguing, Su Yue was already searching for this matter, and the content was completely displayed on the computer.

Mozi came to lobby the King of Chu, objecting to his bullying the smaller Song Dynasty. The King of Chu asked Lu Ban to come out and compete with Mozi.

Lu Ban wants to have a sand table simulation military exercise with Mozi to see who is better between the siege tools he developed and the city defense tools invented by Mozi.

Mozi then took off his belt and surrounded it like a city, using small pieces of wood to represent the equipment used to defend the city.

Lu Ban repeatedly designed ladders and other equipment for siege, but Mozi perfectly resisted his attacks.

Lu Ban's strategies for attacking the city were exhausted, but Mozi's methods for defending the city were more than sufficient.

Lu Ban refused to admit defeat and said with a sly smile: "I know how to deal with you, but I won't tell you."

The King of Chu asked what method, Mozi said: "He means to kill me, so that no one can defend the Song Dynasty, but my student Qin Huali and more than 300 people have prepared my defense equipment in Song Dynasty." The capital city is waiting for your invasion!

Even if you kill me, you still can't win. "

The King of Chu had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​attacking Song.

From then on, Lu Ban stopped developing military tools and devoted all his attention to inventing industrial and agricultural tools.

I send my love and the bright moon: Soga! I'll just say it

My charming and short-lived ancestor: In fact, this is not impossible, because Lu Ban really did a lot of good things later!
Netizen 1234567890 (Guan): Yes, and Luban’s later reputation in history has a lot to do with these inventions.

Wuduyi: I totally agree!
Su Yue looked at the comments and said, "Okay, let's take a look at the next character - Cai Lun!"

Cai Lun (61/63-121), courtesy name Jingzhong, was a native of Guiyang County.

Eunuch and inventor of the Eastern Han Dynasty of China.
In the late Yongping reign of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, Cai Lun entered the palace to serve, and was promoted to Xiaohuangmen in the early reign of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty.

After Emperor He of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne, Cai Lun was promoted to the position of Zhongchangshi, and gained the trust of Emperor He. For a while, he and Zhongchangshi Zheng Zhongwei had power.

Later, he also served as Shang Fangling, supervising the manufacture of swords and instruments.

In the fourteenth year of Yongyuan (102 years), Cai Lun, with the support of Queen Deng, summarized people's papermaking experience in the past, innovated the papermaking technology, and finally made "Caihou paper", and reported it in the first year of Yuanxing (105 years) In the imperial court, Emperor He of the Han Dynasty ordered the promotion of his papermaking method.

Later, Cai Lun was awarded the title of Marquis of Longting due to his many years of service as a guard. Soon he was appointed as the servant of Changle.

In the first year of Jianguang (121), Empress Dowager Deng passed away and Emperor An of the Han Dynasty took charge.

Because Cai Lun had participated in the persecution of Song Guiren, the grandmother of Emperor Han'an of Han Dynasty, he was asked to confess his guilt at the Tingwei Office.

Cai Lun did not want to be humiliated, so he committed suicide by taking poison.

Cai Lun was talented and learned, honest and cautious, and often made mistakes when admonishing and correcting gains and losses.

He was aloof and noble in character, and would close his door to thank guests during holidays. He was known as "the wise eunuch of the Han Dynasty".

His improved papermaking technology was recorded in ancient documents, spread and developed, and spread to all parts of the world. It was listed as one of the "Four Great Inventions" in ancient China and a major invention in human history.

Later generations of papermakers regarded Cai Lun as the originator of papermaking, the "Paper Saint" or the "Paper God". I send my thoughts to the bright moon: Even eunuchs are not necessarily bad, just like Zheng He.

The pig came to the bowl quickly: But Cai Lun is really not a good person! It was papermaking that made him an infinite myth.
Wuduyi: Yes, Zhu Di does have many good eunuchs, but that doesn’t mean Cai Lun does too.

Who in the clouds sent a brocade book: But Cai Lun's papermaking technology really benefited countless people!

My charming and short-lived ancestor: So Cai Lun is great, but he is not a good person!
Su Yue looked at the comment section where there was a tendency to quarrel again and said, "Okay, let's take a look at Cai Lun's deeds! Don't quarrel!"

meteoric rise
In the second year of Zhanghe (88 years), Emperor Zhang died and Prince Liu Zhao came to the throne as Emperor He of Han Dynasty.

Later, Cai Lun was promoted to Zhongchangshi, and became a senior eunuch who conveyed edicts, handled documents, and participated in political affairs.

Cai Lun was very talented, honest and cautious. He offended Long Yan many times and rectified his gains and losses.

Whenever I am on vacation, I would like to thank guests behind closed doors, or go on field trips.

Later, he also served as Shang Fangling.

In the ninth year of Yongyuan (97 years), Cai Lun was responsible for "supervising the production of secret swords and various instruments." All the instruments he made were "precisely crafted and solid" and were imitated by later generations.

Papermaking contributions
In the fourteenth year of Yongyuan (102), Queen Deng Sui ordered the prefecture and state to donate paper and ink.

At that time, Cai Lun was responsible for the manufacture of imperial utensils, and he could access tribute paper from various places anytime and anywhere, which provided him with the material conditions to improve papermaking technology.

Cai Lun deeply felt that "silk was expensive, simple and heavy, and not convenient for people", so he determined to make better paper than his predecessors. He used tree skin, hemp heads, poor cloth, fish nets and other raw materials to make paper.

In the first year of Yuanxing (105), Cai Lun presented paper to Emperor He of the Han Dynasty. Due to its improved quality, Emperor He valued and praised it, and ordered its use nationwide.

The application of paper was promoted and gradually replaced bamboo slips. Later generations called the paper improved by Cai Lun "Caihou Paper".

Fenghou Jian Dian
From the time of Emperor He, Cai Lun and Zhong Chang Shi Zheng Zhong shared power.

He Chang, a general with five senses, was jealous of Cai Lun, and Cai Lun was deeply unhappy. Later, He Chang did not attend the ancestral temple due to a minor illness.

When Sikong Zhouzhang plotted to kill his cousin Deng, he wanted to kill Zheng Zhong and Cai Lun together.

In the first year of the Yuan Dynasty (114 years), it is said that in the first year of the Yongchu period (107 years), Empress Dowager Deng granted Cai Lun the title of Longtinghou because of his long-term service as a guard in the palace. The fief had a population of households.

Soon after, he was appointed as the imperial servant of Changle and became the personal attendant of Empress Dowager Deng.

In the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty (117), it is said that in the fourth year of the Yongchu period (110), Empress Dowager Deng selected the famous scholar Ye Zhen (academic official name) Liu Zhen and Ph.D. , Liangshi gathered in Dongguan, corrected various classics, and sent Cai Lun to supervise the matter.

commit suicide by taking poison
At the beginning, in the seventh year of the founding of the People's Republic of China (82 years), Empress Zhang De Dou and her mother Princess Xianyang designed to frame Prince Liu Qing's biological mother Song Guiren for the trick of being tired of winning. Cai Lun was ridiculed by Empress Dou and others and confirmed that Song Guiren was Sister's crime.

The two committed suicide by drinking pills after being sent to a violent room.

In the first year of Yanping (106), Liu Qing's son Liu Hu came to the throne and became Emperor Han'an.

In the first year of Jianguang (121 years), Empress Dowager Deng passed away, and Emperor An took charge. He investigated the past and asked Cai Lun to go to the Tingwei Office to confess his guilt.

Cai Lun was ashamed of being humiliated, so he took a bath, put on his clothes and hat, drank poison and died.

His fiefdom was also recovered.

My charming and short-lived ancestor: what did he have to be humiliated about? Isn't this what he did?

Who in the clouds sent me a brocade book: Because many of the eunuchs are mentally ill.
Wudu refuses: Agree! And some people have extremely high self-esteem.
The pig came to the bowl quickly: Alas, it can only be said that Cai Lun has merits and demerits, but that’s right, he is not a saint.

His Majesty Han Xiaowu: Agree! People can not escape from doing wrong?
