More than 2,000 years ago, in the ancient city of Langzhong, Sichuan, China, there was a young man named Luoxiahong.
At a very young age, he developed an extraordinary interest in the sky.
When everyone still thought that the sky was round and the earth was square, it was already discovered that the sky was actually like an egg, and the earth that people stepped on was wrapped in it like an egg yolk.
This is the earliest "armillary theory".
But at that time, there were no satellites and no astronomical telescopes, how did he know?
His claims about eggs were questioned by other astronomers of his time, and everyone thought he was talking nonsense.
However, the truth is often in the hands of a few.
In the face of other people's incomprehension, Luo Xia Hong used experiments to demonstrate, and created an early ring sphere.
This instrument is like GPS, which can locate the stars in the sky.
It can only be said that genius is genius, no matter in that era, people are invincible.
With the advent of the ring sphere, people began to believe that the sky was indeed round.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Fu An and Jia Kui added a zodiac ring to the ring sphere on the basis of Luo Xiahong's theory.
In 125 A.D., the famous Chinese astronomer Zhang Heng welded the horizon circle and the meridian ring to the annular sphere on the basis of Fu An and Jia Kui.
At this point, the armillary sphere is completely completed.
After that, Zhang Heng devoted his whole life to the study of the armillary sphere, and even wrote "Zhang Heng's Notes on the Armillary Sphere" to expound the views in it.
And the appearance of the armillary sphere also played a crucial role in the armillary theory.
The armillary sphere is used to measure the spherical coordinates of celestial bodies, and can also be deduced according to the existing data to calculate the specific information of celestial phenomena, and the armillary sphere is used to demonstrate the instrument of celestial phenomena.
As the crystallization of the wisdom and experience of astronomers, the armillary sphere has been the ceiling of the ancient invention of the mainland for a long time, and no instrument can surpass it.
Of course, the overly advanced instruments are extremely powerful for us.
But for scholars in other countries, there are still more doubts than admiration, and they wonder if this kind of instrument, which only exists in the literature, is it real?
In the face of these doubts, our country has not shown it to the outside world in a specific and appropriate way, so it has never given the armillary sphere its due social status.
Who knows that many years have passed, but South Korea has taken the lead in printing the armillary sphere on 10,000 won won, and using this method to tell the world: Does the armillary sphere pull the wind?
On the new version of 10,000 won, on the front is the fourth monarch of the Joseon dynasty of the Lee family, the second king of the Joseon Dynasty, Sejong Yi Woo of Joseon.
On the reverse side, the armillary sphere of our country and the 1.8-meter telescope of Fuxian Mountain are printed, and the background is the "Map of the Celestial Phenomena".
You may wonder why they didn't print something else, but instead printed the armillary sphere on the banknote.
That's because, during the reign of Sejong Yi Yi, there really was an armillary sphere.
At that time, North Korea, like Japan, was part of the Chinese character cultural circle, and those small countries liked to learn from us in the big country because Xi of their small land and sparse population.
According to records, in the Yuan Dynasty, in order to learn the content Xi of the "Calendar of Hours", North Korea even did not hesitate to spend "gold and 100 catties" to bribe relevant technical personnel.
During Li Yu's reign, he once said to the minister: We learn everything from China, except astronomical instruments, and we have not yet learned home, so you must work hard to learn Xi make astronomical instruments, and you will definitely be able to use them in the future.
Isn't this just used in the Korean won?
After listening to Li Ying's words, the ministers Zheng Linzhi and Zheng Zhao began to imitate Guo Shoujing's design and made his own astronomical instruments.
Among them, there are armillary spheres and armillary spheres, as well as simple instruments, positive schemes and other instruments, and finally on the basis of reference, new instruments such as hanging bead sundials, sun-star timers, and jade leaks are made.
Later, South Korean scientist Jang Young-sil combined the armillary sphere with the Western-style alarm clock principle to make an "armillary table" astronomical clock.
As a box system, the armillary watch is listed as a national treasure of Korea number 230 and is now in the collection of the Korea University Museum.
After this study and Xi, the armillary sphere became the invention of the Koreans.
Presumably, in their understanding, improvement = invention.
Of course, this kind of "misappropriation" is not the first time, for Koreans, the Dragon Boat Festival is theirs, and Chinese medicine is also theirs.
It's no surprise that the armillary sphere is now theirs.
However, not all Koreans dare to distort the facts so shyly, and the printing of China's armillary sphere on 10,000 won has also aroused disgust and dissatisfaction among many people in South Korea.
According to South Korea's "Gyeonghyang Shimbun", Moon Chongliang, a professor of history at Seoul National University, said: "South Korea's original scientific achievement is the 'armillary table' (National Treasure No. 230), and the scientific principle of the armillary table lies in the mechanism, which is an accessory that relies on the operation of the clock and turns." ”
"The armillary sphere originated in China, so it cannot be printed on the currency of the mainland," he said. ”
After that, all walks of life in South Korea came forward and hoped that the Bank of Korea would give an explanation.
In the face of public condemnation, Kim Doo-kyung, former director of the Bank of Korea's Issuance Bureau, said: "The box design of the armillary table is incompatible with the currency pattern, so we chose the armillary sphere as the currency pattern." ”
According to the Beijing Evening News, South Korean newspapers criticized the Bank of Korea for designing coins with only the design in mind, while ignoring the scientific and historical significance of the coins.
There are even many South Koreans who have left messages on the bank's website, asking them to change the style of their coins and stop issuing coins with armillary spheres printed on them.
Experts in China have a different opinion about the armillary sphere printed on banknotes printed in South Korea.
Xiao Jun, deputy director of the Ancient Observatory of the Beijing Astronomical Observatory, said that there are still some differences between South Korea's armillary sphere and China's, and Koreans have added their own creations to it.
Chen Hui of the Institute of Korean Studies at Zhejiang University also said that there is a difference between the two just by borrowing the principle of the Chinese armillary sphere, which can measure changes in celestial bodies, while South Korea's is just a simulator.
The matter of printing armillary spheres on Korean banknotes is pulled out almost every once in a while.
Some people think that Korea learned our principles Xi and made their own armillary spheres.
There are also people who feel that the armillary sphere, as an invention of our country, should not appear in other countries in this way.
What do you think about this?
