Nanjing people are really big turnips, and there has been no zu chongzhi memorial hall until now, which is a bit unexpected, too low-key.
Hebei has Zuchong Middle School, which is the ancestral home of ZuChong; Shanghai has Zuchong Road, which represents high technology; Kunshan has Zuchong Road, which is Zuchongzhi's official in Kunshan; and in heaven there is Zuchong's mountain and Zuchong's star, which commemorate Zuchong's outstanding contributions.
Nanjing (Jiankang) is zu chongzhi's birthplace and living place, but there are few introductions and traces of zu chongzhi, and there is no memorial, which is indeed a bit unexpected.
In many places, as long as they have something to do with celebrities, they will vigorously publicize and find ways to connect celebrities with the city.
Nanjing is a bit sluggish in this regard, and has not been able to publicize Zu Chongzhi's achievements very well, which is a bit regrettable.
Zu Chongzhi was a great mathematician and astronomer in the history of Chinese science.
He was the first in the world to accurately extrapolate Pi to the last seven digits after the decimal point, which is between 3.1415926 and 3.1415927.
After actual and careful observation, Zu Chongzhi found that the "Yuan Jia Calendar" compiled by He Chengtian at that time had many errors and errors, so he compiled the "Great Ming Calendar" in Zhenjiang.
Zu Chongzhi made long-term observations and careful calculations of the orbits of the five planets such as wood, water, fire, metal, and earth, and the time required for one week, and the error was also extremely small, and a more accurate five-star rendezvous period was calculated.
In terms of machinery manufacturing, Zu Chongzhi designed and manufactured water mills, copper machine parts transmission guide cars, thousand mile boats, timers and so on.
He is also proficient in music theory and has a deep study of musical rhythm.
In literature, he has written books on philosophy such as Yi Yi, Lao Tzu Yi, Zhuangzi Yi, and Interpretation, but unfortunately they have all been lost.
The connection between Nanjing and Zu Chongzhi is still very close, and it is necessary to build a zu chongzhi memorial hall so that more Nanjing people and friends from all over the country can understand this outstanding scientist in Chinese history.
