China has a history of thousands of years, in which many cultures and customs have been born, which are the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients. Although the prosperity created by the ancients is long gone, the glory of the wisdom of the ancient working people still shines on us and is still deeply affected by these. For example, the high-tech created by the ancients can be called ingenious, and the modern era of advanced science and technology may not be restored. Let people look at the amazement, today's people should be in awe, Xiaobian will bring you a few ancient Confucian eyes "strange tricks and tricks".
Mortise
Among the many technologies and "strange tricks", the most important thing to say is the mortise, which has been amazing for thousands of years. This is the main structural method of ancient Chinese architecture, family and other instruments, and it is a connection method that combines concave and convex parts on two components. The characteristic is that nails are not used on objects, only tenons can be used to strengthen objects, and iron nails are used only when necessary. If the tenon is used properly, the two wooden structures can be seamless and extremely delicate.
It makes the traditional Chinese wooden structure a special flexible structure that goes beyond the row frame, frame or steel frame of contemporary buildings, which can not only withstand large loads, but also allow for certain deformation. In the case of an earthquake, the deformation can offset a certain amount of seismic energy and reduce the seismic response of the structure. Looking at the Forbidden City, it can be reflected that such a large area of housing is still a zone with frequent earthquakes in the surrounding area. However, it can not fall for thousands of years, to a large extent, that is, the Forbidden City uses many tenon and tenon structures.
Tangram table
Qiqiao table is a kind of furniture in ancient times, this kind of furniture is very interesting, the word seven itself in ancient China is a symbol of wisdom and strategy. The Tangram Table contains cleverness, it is composed of seven sets of table angles, which can change dozens of patterns. For example, Huang Bosi's "Yanjitu Seven Star Desktop Diagram" of the Song Dynasty is called the magic board of the East by Westerners, and the Qiqiao table in it can be combined with the number of guests. After careful calculation, 25 forms of energy can be changed and 76 kinds of combination charts are composed.
Ice Book
Many people often think that many of the objects in today's life are invented by modern people, but in fact, the ancestors have long come up with similar ones, for example, wooden horses are actually ancient wooden toilets. Another example is the ice book, which is an ancient container for ice, which can be regarded as an ancient version of the refrigerator and fan. The food was placed in a box, and when it was taken out, it was as cold as a popsicle, and the ice box had a cover on the top. It is both a hand-cutting and a cold air outlet, so that food can be preserved and cold air can be emitted.
Write down the drum car
Presumably, when many people see ancient maps, they have a question in their hearts, how did the ancient times with underdeveloped science and technology map mapping? In fact, this is nothing for the ancients, the ancient cartographer was to draw a map on the carriage, this special drawing of the car is called the Keiri drum car. The drum cart was invented in the pre-Qin period and perfected in the Western Han Dynasty, and was a carriage used in ancient times to record the distance traveled by vehicles.
The structure is very similar to a guide car, with two upper and lower floors, each with wooden robots. The robot would hold a mallet and a drum in his hand, and when the car had traveled a mile, he would knock it. The robot on the upper floor holds a bell, and when the car reaches a position of ten miles, it will ring the bell. With the drum car, He Shuo could not draw a map, but it may be because after all, it is a small error in the human union. But for the ancients, this is already a very rare thing, which also shows how smart the ancients were.
Marquis Yizun of Zeng
Some black technology of the ancients is impossible for modern people to imitate, Zeng Hou Yizun plate should be regarded as a kind of imitation, it was also included in china's first batch of cultural relics prohibited from going abroad (border) exhibition. Because it is too precious, it can be said that it is the most complex and exquisite bronze device in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, and it is mainly cast by the lost wax method after expert identification. The lost wax method is an ancient production process, which is still used to present the most exquisite details of metal products, and the Zenghou Yizun plate represents the highest level of the lost wax method at that time.
Its ornamentation is precise and complex, and the attachment has no traces of forging and casting, and the surface is smooth and fine. The overall decoration is independent of each other, and the complementary connection is supported by the inner copper stem, which is connected in layers. Jagged, exquisite and exquisite, with a wonderful workmanship, let the viewer be amazed. The craftsmanship of more than 2,400 years ago, how to reach this realm, how not amazing.
