Siheyuan, don't yell at me

In the solemn and dignified Great Hall, He Daqing delivered a shocking speech with passion and at the top of his voice.

His words spread out quickly like a prairie fire.

In less than a day, major newspapers simultaneously published the details of He Daqing's speech.

In this era of information closure, people are eager to understand the outside world, but face many difficulties.

The only way they can get information is from various magazines and newspapers published in Europe and the United States.

These Western newspapers, magazines and media have absolute control over discourse, and everything they say is regarded as truth, and no one dares to question it.

No matter how ridiculous the stories they make up, there will always be people cheering for them.

A simple question - "Have you been to Europe? Have you been to the United States?" is enough to leave everyone speechless.

It seems that if you have not experienced those places in person, it would be a great shame, and the other party has become the representative of authority from above.

As a result, so-called backwardness and ignorance became the criteria for judgment, and others were naturally labeled as advanced and civilized.

As for the right to question, it is completely deprived.

Not only that, except for East Asia, Westerners fabricate history for almost every country in the world.

Manipulate the direction of public opinion and forcibly label other countries with cultural labels that are in line with their own interests.

This kind of spiritual colonial rule has caused many countries to gradually lose their ability to recognize themselves and think independently.

If it weren’t for China, it would have had a good tradition of recording history since ancient times.

And even with extremely rich and detailed historical materials as a basis, I am afraid that Chinese civilization has already disappeared in this torrent.

However, it is sad that this era is filled with denigration and slander of the Chinese nation.

Even the fallacy of regarding the Chinese nation as inferior is prevalent. This despicable behavior is so prevalent that such remarks have become the mainstream in higher education institutions.

All kinds of self-criticism and self-denial have humiliated the Chinese nation to the ground and into the mud, trampling it hard.

The so-called Tai people, Germanic people, and even Japanese pirate people were openly called excellent nations.

He Daqing roared loudly in the Great Hall, like a stone falling into the lake, causing ripples.

The anger that was stuck in people's chests was completely vented out. They rushed to discuss He Daqing's story, and even argued loudly with red faces.

He Daqing once again became famous and became the focus of attention in the entire city.

Reporters from all walks of life poured into the Red Star Winery like a surging tide, looking at He Daqing with great enthusiasm, eagerly hoping to get more shocking news from him.

Not only that, several well-known universities also extended olive branches to He Daqing and invited him to give a speech at the school.

In the past, due to the lack of other options, those so-called critics and commentators may have been able to prevail. Their remarks caused disgust and aversion to the people of the whole country, and they were complacent and unaware.

However, times have changed and things are different now - people have new choices!

He Daqing is definitely not a person who only talks big but does nothing. Everything he says is realistic and full of substance. Every word he says is a gem and every sentence is a proverb.

Faced with various definitions and interpretations of history in the West, He Daqing is always able to use rigorous logical thinking and sufficient and powerful evidence or supporting evidence to ruthlessly expose those crudely fabricated lies of the Westerners.

At this moment, in the eyes of many intellectuals, He Daqing is no longer just a violent and domineering warrior.

On the contrary, he has become a model of being proficient in both civil and military strategies: he has the martial arts to be the bravest among the three armies and to stabilize the country and the nation, and he also has the talent to read widely and understand the ancient and modern times.

On the playground of Qinghua University, He Daqing stood alone on the podium, with a sea of ​​students below him.

He Daqing held the microphone with a solemn expression.

“I’m He Daqing, and I’m honored to receive the invitation to give a speech at Qinghua University.

I've been the subject of a lot of controversy lately, both good and bad.

Some people thought I was a clown trying to attract attention, some thought I was crazy, and some started looking for the truth...

There are doubts and debates, and that's what I hope to see.

Students, let us learn to question, learn to think independently, and break out of the prison of lies woven by the so-called authorities.

Those so-called professors of Western learning are actually a tragedy.

They are not fools. They can see through those lies that are easily exposed.

But what can they do? Their so-called knowledge and expertise were all given by Westerners.

Relying on these lies, they became so-called professors and received numerous praises and generous treatment.

In order to keep their jobs, they have no choice but to stick to one path until the end.

Although the Qing Dynasty destroyed most of China's scientific and technological books and transplanted technology to foreigners.

But if we pay a little attention, we will uncover these big lies.

Have you read Dream of the Red Chamber?

In the 19th chapter, it says that Baoyu asked someone to fetch his watch and the needle was at 11:00.

Haizheng means that the Hai hour has ended, which is 11 o'clock sharp at night.

The amount of information contained here is very large, which shows that clocks have existed at least in the early Qing Dynasty, and that clocks only rotate once a day, which is twelve hours.

Considering that it took time to write the early stage of Dream of Red Mansions, it means that the wealthy families in the Ming Dynasty had already used clocks.

Another prototype of the clock is the Water-powered Instrument Tower in the Northern Song Dynasty, which was both an astronomical clock and an observatory.

It is twelve meters high and seven meters wide, about as high as three stories.

Driven by water power, it can tell time accurately, and various armillary spheres are installed on the top for astronomical observation.

Why was the first timekeeping clock used in an observatory? Because the astronomers in the Imperial Observatory were the ones who needed accurate time the most. Only when there was a demand would someone solve the problem.

From the dripping clock, to the multi-pot dripping clock, to the alarm clock, the inheritance is orderly. This is the evolution process of civilization.

Here’s another little piece of knowledge: a dripping clock is also called a clepsydra, and the English word is also pronounced as clepsydra…”

The students were stunned and shocked by He Daqing again.

How could clocks have existed in the Ming Dynasty? Why did he say that it made sense?

He Daqing's crazy talk continues.

"Have you seen the Qingming Shanghe Tu from the Northern Song Dynasty?

If you look carefully, you can see that there are many people wearing glasses in the painting.

What does this mean? Glasses were already popular in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Now that glasses are already popular, is there still a lack of telescopes in the observatory?

The word "glass" was also recorded in poems from the Song Dynasty.

Are you wondering, why use bronze mirrors when there is glass?

Coincidentally, I happened to have a bronze mirror with me.

Don’t be surprised why it is bright silver. A lot of tin is added to the bronze mirror, which gives it this bright silver color.

Because of the addition of tin, the bronze mirror becomes very brittle and will break if dropped. This is why there is the saying "a broken mirror can be mended again."

Take a look and see if the photo is very clear. I can say responsibly that in terms of clarity alone, there is no difference between a bronze mirror and a glass mirror.

Even a plowshare used for tilling the fields can be polished by mud and shine brightly, let alone a bronze mirror used specifically for reflecting light?

Never doubt the wisdom of our ancestors..."
