The long history of mankind cannot be said to be measured by a single history of a country, because such historical situations and details are covered up, and this matter must be viewed from a comprehensive point of view. Many times the generation of one thing and many directions are also under the influence of multiple factors and have to deviate from the original track. The new science discipline in modern society has actually been brewed from all over the world in the last 300 years. The traditional civilization and philosophical ideas in the previous society have been subverted in this process and become an auxiliary under the banner of science, and China has lost touch with science many times in its thousands of years of development history.

Professor Tsinghua's evaluation of science

Tsinghua University has always been the academic center of humanities in our country, which is beyond doubt, because this is a development strategy formulated in that year, the purpose is to catch up with a level of Peking University, but in the ideals of many people later, the level of this school has actually exceeded the level of Peking University, so the remarks generated from Tsinghua University are undoubtedly a big earthquake thing for scientific research from all walks of life in China. Dr. Zhang Putian, a professor in the Department of Science History in the School of Humanities of Tsinghua University, put forward his own views on the impact of science on human civilization.

Because the emergence of modern science is a big thing in both the West and the East, behind this incident has played a great role in the reform of human civilization, it can be said that human civilization has been united from ancient history after a new key, at this time a lot of brand-new only concept problems have begun to arise, the development history and destiny of various countries in the world are closely linked, no longer the previous state of development like an island, The history of other disciplines such as human literature and philosophy since the birth of science actually has a huge linkage effect with science.

In the words of the professor of Tsinghua University, the humanistic history in the future generations actually has a basic motivation in it, because this process is actually a process of pandering to science, in this process is not to fight against the natural primitive situation of science advocating the return to the ancient society, or to cater to the development and service of science for the progress of science, but from the eyes of many people around the world, in fact, science has already mastered all the victories in the battle of historical humanities. Their existence and declaration of war were for the sake of a diverse existence and some of their own roles, achievements that reflect the grand nature of human history.

These words of Tsinghua Professor Zhang Putian are actually the highest evaluation system for science, because human beings themselves are considered to be the spirits of all things in ancient Chinese history and humanities, and believe that nature is an outstanding representative elected in the selection of all things, so the emergence of human beings is actually the emergence of a unique form among advanced animals, and science is the human being among many disciplines, and it is the greatest discipline that has appeared in the history of human social development for tens of thousands of years. The emergence of this discipline has led to the collapse of other disciplines.

Confucius answered the reporter's question

In fact, the role of science is so great, did the ancient Chinese not find this problem? In fact, there are, ancient Chinese people actually encountered science, but it is a pity that I do not know that it is those reasons that led to the official emergence of science as a discipline and lost, the outstanding achievements produced by this period of history in the past few thousand years have been regarded by many scientists as one of the greatest scientific works today, the most typical and known to the chinese and the world is the four major inventions of ancient China, and it is not necessarily such a history after that. It is said that one of the most important reasons for cutting off the development of ancient Chinese science is Chinese Confucianism.

Of course, the birth of Chinese Confucianism can be traced back to an extremely long time, but at present, the academic community recognizes Confucius as the ancestor of this period of Confucianism, when the Wu Kingdom was crusading against the Yue Kingdom, a huge human bone was found, at this time no one in the Territory of Wu knew who this human bone really was, because it was already several meters huge, and finally the envoy of the King of Wu came to ask Confucius who had lived since the opening of Pangu, whose bones were the largest, Confucius replied at that time that it was an accident to exclude the gods and the people who had ascended, On the eve of the Xia Dynasty, Dayu met with the princes at Huijishan, but only the Fengfeng clan people were late, and finally Dayu killed all the people of the Fengfeng clan, and the bones of the Fengfeng clan were scattered in the land of Wuyue today.

Finally, the emissaries of the State of Wu asked again with curiosity who in the world could become gods after three generations? Confucius's answer is that mountains, flowers, trees, fish, birds and all things can be gods, and the god of the world is respected by the king, the messenger once again asked how tall the tallest person in the world since its birth, Confucius replied that according to his own reading, it should be the ancient Qiao Yao clan, their people can be up to three feet long, the longest can exceed ten times this number, the messenger after listening to it lamented that Confucius is worthy of the contemporary sage, these answers at the beginning seemed to be very clever, but from today's view we are hindering the development of science.

Because the question asked by the envoy of Wu Guo is actually not a question of cultural history and philosophy, but a mathematical problem associated with our modern discipline today, the biology is just that these questions should give specific answers from today's spirit to come up with actual evidence, to make numerical statistics, but Confucius this person is different, he did not actually investigate, just rely on his own reading more than others to open the river, and then fabricated a lot of stories and history, so that everyone listens to the confused, so that even if , Then he was regarded as a contemporary sage by the envoys of the State of Wu, and forcibly pulled scientific issues into the debate of philosophical history, and it has to be said that Confucius, the originator of Confucianism, was very powerful.

Through the reporter's answer between the envoys of the State of Wu and Confucius, I believe that people who understand have understood why ancient China did not give birth to a scientific discipline and became the pillar of the country, because of the obstacles of Confucianism, you will find that ancient China has been particularly superstitious about Confucian governance since the Han Dynasty, and many readers have been studying for more than ten years and have been admitted to the imperial examination as officials, naïvely think that governing the localities and managing the people can gain people's hearts as long as they give charity and righteousness as the saints said, and really think that as long as they adhere to etiquette and indoctrination, they can make the world peaceful. In fact, no, such a peaceful person can only be a peaceful person, and when he encounters a chaotic world and a little problem without a solution to the scientific and practical application of disciplines, the whole order will collapse, thus causing a series of problems.
