introduction
As we all know, the continent has a long history of 5,000 years. The other three of the four ancient civilizations recognized in the world have also caused the interruption of civilization for various reasons, but the historical civilization of the mainland has continued endlessly and has continued to this day. Therefore, no matter which country the people, when mentioning "long history", they will think of "China" to match it.
The mainland does have many proud historical civilizations, such as the Great Wall, which is listed as a world wonder, which is a major milestone in the architectural world. There are also four great inventions of ancient times, which are also traditional civilizations that make other countries praise. Not to mention the crystallization of the wisdom of ancient people such as the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang. In this way, the mainland does have a deep historical background. What I want to introduce to you today is a pile of bamboo jane in the Han tomb. When mainland experts translated it into a book, Western scholars actually shouted "This is impossible." What kind of written records have surprised Western scholars so much?
A cultural relic excavated from a Han tomb, Bamboo Jane
As mentioned above, the mainland has a long history, and often unearths many cultural relics and antiques of great value, and among the ancient dynasties and generations of the mainland, the Han Dynasty is destined to be a great existence. How much impact has it had on China today? One thing that needs special attention is that today everyone calls themselves "Han Chinese", not "Tang people" or "Song people". It can be seen that the Han Dynasty did have a special significance in the ancient times of the mainland.
According to historical data, during the Han Dynasty, the mainland was one of the most developed countries in the world, and it can even be called the world's first. In order to be able to find more information about the Han Dynasty, mainland archaeologists have also conducted extensive research on the Han Dynasty. The Han tomb has become an important clue for them to find historical information. In the last century, mainland experts discovered it
Zhangjiashan Ancient Han Tomb
This is the largest of all the Excavated Han tombs. To be cautious,
After the discovery of the tomb, experts did not immediately start excavation, but stopped for more than ten years before daring to use advanced technology to survey the tomb, which is what experts call "protective excavation"
。
Due to the extremely large scale of the ancient Han tombs in Zhangjiashan, it took two months to excavate and explore alone. Disappointingly,
In the past two months, no rare treasures have been found in the tomb, but a pile of bamboo has been dug up
。 In the eyes of archaeologists, written artifacts can be much more valuable than so-called rare treasures. Therefore, after the experts found Bamboo Jane, they were very excited.
The number of these bamboo strips is so large that they add up to thousands of bundles
This is also a relatively rare situation in the history of continental archaeology.
The value of bamboo is extremely high, but Western scholars directly call it impossible
In order to facilitate the study, experts translated the records on the bamboo jane into books, only to find that the bamboo jane recorded eight ancient books on the mainland. These eight books are of great significance to modern times, and they are of great value like the ancient martial arts secret books.
Two of them are the Arithmetic Classics and the Book of Quotations, which are ancient books that have been lost on the mainland for a long time, so the experts are very excited!
The contents of the Quotations are related to the medical aspect
。 It is reported that it records a variety of treatment methods, which are hundreds of years ahead of the world. Many Western scholars do not believe that this is true, so it is impossible to call it directly.
The "Arithmetic Classic" is even more powerful, which records the ancient mathematical techniques of the mainland
。
It even predates the existence of the Nine Chapters of Arithmetic, and can be called the earliest mathematical ancient book on the mainland.
Western scholars are skeptical of the advanced technology of these bamboo janes, and even call out that China could not have discovered these technologies at such an early stage, but the real bamboo janes are placed here, and they can only accept the reality that China has been intellectually superior since ancient times.
epilogue
In fact, most of the reasons for the suspicion of Western scholars come from the development of modern times on the mainland. But what they don't know is that, in addition to modern times, the continent is synonymous with prosperity in both ancient times and in the present. However, the wisdom of the ancient people is indeed worthy of everyone's admiration, not only to create the Great Wall, but also to invent the world's leading medical and mathematical technology, which makes people can't help but praise.
