Chapter 948 Since ancient times
What kind of waves can two young people make?
No one knows this, but after talking with Pu Songling all night that night, Liang Zhi buried his head in books such as "Shan Hai Jing", and at the same time he kept looking through the geography and museum books over the past few years to correspond to foreign beasts and foreign countries.
He even used the "Shan Hai Jing" to reinterpret this world.
At the end of the 19th year of Gan Sheng, when he published the article in the newspapers of the book "Shan Hai Jing" based on the great geographical discoveries in recent years, the "textual evidence" that was almost equivalent to the "Geographic Discoveries of the Ancients" suddenly caused a sensation in the academic community.
"When the barbarians ate the raw meat and drank blood, the footprints of the ancient people in the pre-Qin period had already traveled all over the world!"
The emergence of this argument has brought great shock to many people.
Over the years, for the Ming Dynasty, perhaps the Ming Dynasty could use "Zheng He's voyage to the West" to show off its "magnanimity", but it cannot be denied that it was the Westerners who pioneered the era of great navigation.
Although Daming disdains to deny this fact, many people feel a little unwilling to accept it.
Why?
The face of the Heavenly Dynasty!
Even when facing the Westerners naming the world, the Ming Dynasty was extremely unwilling to say that, such as the naming of Asia, Europe, America and Africa. This made the scholars of the Ming Dynasty very unhappy. Especially the saying "Asia", in the eyes of those scholars, "Asia" is ultimately the title given to the East by Westerners. It is a dawning celestial dynasty, the center of the world, and the vast land and the vast land. It is always inappropriate to call it "Asia".
For this reason, scholars of the Ming Dynasty specifically corrected that they called China "Shenzhou" geographically, but Shenzhou could not include "Tianzhu" and other places, so "Shenzhou" is China, the Ming Dynasty, and other places... uh, Asia.
Such contradictions even came to the title of the Royal Academy of Sciences. On the one hand, the world was named by Westerners in the era of great geographical discoveries, and even the Ming Dynasty needed to learn modern geography from European scholars. On the other hand, many people could not accept the names of Europeans to various continents. People tend to name various continents like Chinese classics.
However, perhaps because of an open mind or because of quite confident, there are voices in this regard, but they are not very high, not because they are disdainful of fighting, but because... in terms of geographical discoveries, Daming is really a bit lacking in confidence.
But now, as soon as Liang Zhi’s research was released, it immediately caused countless great geographical discoveries to cheer for it?
European?
Nonsense!
The ancients of the pre-Qin Dynasty had already made great geographical discoveries!
So is it natural to change the name?
Even Liang Zhi's textual research directly proves that a deeply rooted view is incomparable to any other civilization.
Of course, this does not mean that scholars of the Celestial Empire would fabricate and fabricate so-called history to prove their superiority. They also focus on the reliability of the argument. Why do some scholars of the Ming Dynasty disliked Europe's naming of the world, but did not adopt Zou Yan's "big nine continents" to regain their destiny for the world? Even if "continent" means land in the water, even if Zou Yan believes that the earth is dominated by water. Each continent has nine states, and China is a state in a divine continent called "Chixian Shenzhou". Although this geographical view that is dominated by oceans is very consistent with the actual situation of the earth. However, Zou Yan was a Yin-Yang family in the Warring States Period after all, and many of his views were speculations greater than reality. It is not as simple as equating the relevant description of Jiuzhou with the geographical environment in reality.
In the past, some people have proposed to name the world "Da Jiuzhou", but there is no argument. However, when Liang Zhi used overseas alien beasts to correspond to alien beasts in the Shanhai Jing, or even to correspond to geographical discoveries, it made everyone's eyes lit up.
"So you can do this!"
For the Ming scholars who were inclined to examine the research, they finally found a suitable reason to rename the world. Through geography, they were "self-justified".
Even though they knew that Europe’s naming of the world was just based on Greek myths or the Bible. It was natural for the Ming Dynasty to name the world’s geography with the Chinese myth as a model. However, the scholars of the Ming Dynasty believed that people were convinced by reason!
You see, I have verified that there has been real evidence, and you must accept my point of view!
From the lack of confidence before, to the sudden confidence now, everything has changed naturally, and this change has even been directly reflected in front of the table of Emperor Gan Sheng.
"You mean, some scholars apply for funds to go overseas for inspection?"
Facing Fang Yizhi's report, Zhu Guoqiang was stunned.
This is the first time that some scholars have taken the initiative to go overseas for inspection.
"What are they going to inspect?"
"They want to go overseas to verify Zou Yan's "theory of the Great Nine Continents" and the theory of the foreign lands of the Mountains and Seas."
Fang Yizhi reported truthfully that he, who has now taken over the position of Minister of the Interior from Chen Changkang, was inevitably a little amused when mentioning the applications of those scholars.
"Your Majesty, these people are really ridiculous. His Majesty originally sponsored the expedition to sea to open up new waterways and encourage business, but they actually used myths and legends to study. It was really ridiculous."
"absurd?"
Zhu Guoqiang said with a smile.
"I don't say that, people must have ideals and motivations. I think this reason is not ridiculous. It may even bring the Ming Dynasty an unprecedented era of geographical discovery. In the past, our sailing was stimulated by the money of ocean trade. But now the protagonists who went out to sea have changed from merchants to scholars! Why did they go out to sea? It is to find evidence for their arguments. Fang Qing family, you think that the scholars of the Ming Dynasty can actively try to explore overseas under the promotion of this idea in the future, and use overseas geography and historical sites to prove the records in ancient books. It will not only change the academic style of the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, but also make the scholars of the Ming Dynasty proud of their adventures, but also..."
Suddenly, a thought came to Zhu Guoqiang's mind "Since ancient times". Wouldn't these researches prove that "*** has been Chinese since ancient times", which is the real "Since ancient times". After all, the common principle in this world is "whoever discovers and possesses it". When the ancients of the pre-Qin Dynasty arrived in Africa, they recorded the "Wildebeest" and named their fate "Summary", which naturally proves that "Africa has been Chinese since ancient times."
Um!
That's right, that's the reason!
This...is simply perfect.
Now the Ming Dynasty is not going to colonize, but the Ming Dynasty returns to the "old land".
Yes, that's right!
The Ming Dynasty court certainly agreed with such a meaningful thing.
After realizing the profound significance of this incident to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Guoqiang immediately said.
"I think it should not only express support, but also establish a "Royal Geographic Fund" to fund explorers and scholars, and also set up a "Royal Geographic Award" to recognize brave explorers and scholars and their outstanding contributions."
This kind of contribution is outstanding!
Zhu Guoqiang, who is in another world, is very clear about the importance of "legality". Why do Europeans have no confidence in Africa? Because they are indeed colonial rulers, and Americans are also a fact of enslaving black people. Although it was a sin committed by their ancestors, it was the same.
In the future, the Ming Dynasty will establish a world empire. If there are some changes in this world empire in the future, they "destroyed" the Ming Dynasty to promote "colonial rule". How could the Ming Dynasty gain a foothold in legal principles?
Text research!
As long as there is historical evidence to prove that the land once belonged to China and China, and the Ming Dynasty returned to its hometown, it would be natural.
“Africa has been China since ancient times!”
“Europe has been China since ancient times!”
“America has been China since ancient times!”
...
It's wonderful to think about it!
"The world has been China since ancient times!"
Perhaps, for the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, there were no Holy Grail, the treasure of King Solomon, the Ark of the Covenant, and even the Ark of Noah to drive them to explore the world. However, by seeking evidence for ancient books, their footprints would inevitably travel all over the world.
This will not only promote the development of sciences such as archaeology, navigation, geography, botany, and zoology in the Ming Dynasty, and promote academic progress. More importantly, in this great geographical discovery, it will greatly enhance the national pride of the Ming Dynasty. Once upon a time, many people believed that the Europa people made the world discovered by the Age of Discovery through repeated navigation. But now these "archaeological discoveries" can prove that it was the ancient Chinese who discovered the world!
What, this is not true.
Why can European archaeologists find the so-called "Noah's Ark" fragments through some descriptions in the Bible? In fact, they are just a few pieces of wood. Through some descriptions in ancient Greek myths, they can analyze the origin of their civilization through archaeological analysis. And here, the Chinese myth has become a myth?
Besides, "Shan Hai Jing" is not a myth, but a "earth sign" written by the ancients, and is the customs and customs of all over the world recorded by the ancients. It's just that the rumors and rumors have lost the original intention of the book through rumors.
Now the scholars of the Ming Dynasty will prove all this through their adventures and confirm the fact through their efforts, that is, the foot memories of the ancient Chinese people had already traveled to every corner of the world thousands of years ago.
Of course, in the process of exploring the world and finding traces left by the ancients, bullying the weak is inevitable, but this is natural. Just like a strong man with strong body, he finally developed his muscles and strengthened his strength. Is it just for the sake of good looks? Of course not, it is not just for bullying people.
The strong prey on the weak.
This is the way to survive in this world!
