Chapter 387 Don’t Treat Ancient Craftsmen as Fools
"Are you arguing?"
The comments at the end of the video were actually quarreling, which was something many people in Zhuchao had not expected.
"Aliens?" Zhu Yuanzhang was confused by the video on the screen. "Why did an alien suddenly appear? What kind of human are aliens?"
"Hmm... maybe it's not a human being?" King Zhu Su of Zhou intuitively felt that this was another thing outside the universe.
"Overall, they still have a relatively high degree of recognition of the theory of evolution." When Zhu Di saw that it said that those who did not believe it should go back and study again, he could not help but sigh that later generations had done a really good job in popularizing education.
"Evolution is just like that. As mentioned above, humans have only been around for a few years. Perhaps there will be new evolution after another ten thousand years." said King Xiang Zhu Bo.
……
Guangmu's words left people of all dynasties with confusion and fear of the unknown.
"If... a monkey also has wisdom, will it become a human?"
Theory of evolution, natural selection, survival of the fittest.
What he said is not wrong, but if we think that one day other animals suddenly possess intelligence and have their own ideas, should we destroy them or let nature take its course?
Even if it is an unfounded worry, the theory of evolution allows everyone to observe the things around them more and respect nature.
……
Li Ranran glanced at the progress bar and realized that the video he had just watched was more than ten minutes long.
"No wonder it felt like so much time had passed... The humans only appeared in the last minute or so."
"A speck of dust in the vast ocean, a speck of dust in the universe."
It's inevitable to feel sad about the passing of time, so I quickly adjusted my mood and continued to watch the next recommended video.
[Our ancestors were not fools]
[Wudang Mountain once had a great wonder, the Thunder and Fire Alchemy Hall. When there was lightning and thunder, the area around the Golden Hall on the top of Wudang Mountain would be baptized by lightning. After the baptism, the Golden Hall was not only intact, but also became more magnificent.
But this 600-year-old wonder disappeared because experts installed a lightning rod on the top...
Even because of the installation of the lightning rod, the lightning was drawn underground and killed the ancient tree next to the temple.
The fact is that the Thunder Fire Alchemy Hall itself is a lightning rod, built specifically to attract lightning. If a lightning rod is installed, it would be superfluous.
So please don’t think that ancient craftsmen were fools. They also had to consider the interests of their entire clans.
When I mention this, I think of the Iron Lion in Cangzhou, which is also a very regrettable historical site.
It stood for a thousand years, but under the protection of some experts, its head was lost, its legs were lame, and its body became rotten. It can only stand firmly by relying on pillars as crutches.
These are all clearly good intentions with bad results. It seems to be for their own good, but the results are really disappointing. 】
＜Ancient Monument: If you don’t come, I will not fall for a thousand years; if you come, I will not even last for five years.＞
＜You should know that the reason why the historical sites are historical sites and have been preserved to this day must have its own reasons, so don’t interfere too much [covering face]＞
＜It is such a pity for the Iron Lion of Cangzhou. The experts first said that they would build a pavilion to protect it from wind and rain, but this accelerated the rusting of the Iron Lion. They thought it was because of the damp ground, so they built a platform for the Iron Lion. As a result, the Iron Lion had more than 40 cracks when the platform was built. Later, in order to make it stand firmly, they poured cement into it, and as a result, its legs became lame……＞
＜I give up. Can you guess why its name is Thunder Fire Alchemy Palace? [laughing and crying]＞
＜The lightning rod installed in the Thunder Fire Alchemy Hall seems to be because the buildings around it are often struck by lightning, but [covering face]＞
＜Speaking of some experts, we have to mention the tomb of Emperor Wanli [狗头] Although I don’t like to show off, it is a cultural relic after all. It’s a pity that it was destroyed.＞
＜It may be that the technology was not developed in those days and the correct method was not found. If it were now, these things would never happen.＞
＜Ancient Craftsmen: Do you want to see how many generations of craftsmen my family has?＞
＜I am beginning to doubt whether those people are hundreds of thousands of people walking.＞
＜When there is trouble, Zhenhai roars; when there is nothing, he acts like a lion dog.＞
＜Zhenhaihou: It can suppress natural disasters, but it cannot resist man-made disasters [crying]＞
[Song Shenzong Zhao Xu: The Zhenhai Roar in Cangzhou has been going on for a thousand years.]
[Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao: It is a pity that the Thunder Fire Alchemy Hall in Wudang Mountain is gone.]
[Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin: I thought it would be destroyed during the change of dynasties, but it is still there.]
[Tang Xuanzong Li Longji: The Thunder Fire Alchemy Hall is great. We can build one on Mount Wudang.]
……
The Tang Dynasty had a strong Taoist atmosphere. Although the reputation of Taoism among the people declined due to the light curtain video, the aristocracy simply stopped taking elixirs and honestly followed Chinese medicine to maintain their health.
Buddhism was also popular in the Tang Dynasty, but due to the influence of light screen videos, many temples were closed and the number of monks dropped sharply.
The Thunder and Fire Alchemy Palace, the rulers of the Tang Dynasty were eager to build such a wonder.
……
When Emperor Wanli Zhu Yijun saw the information about his own tomb again, he was no longer as angry as before.
When an emperor ascends the throne, he will build his own mausoleum. Zhu Yijun ordered that his mausoleum should be safe and closed, and it would be best if it was kept low-key.
Guangmu mentioned before that later experts were originally going to look for the tomb of Emperor Chengzu, but they didn't find the tomb, so they found his tomb based on the clues of the tomb...
It can be said that it was a completely unprovoked disaster.
In order to ensure your own peace a hundred years later, you must design your own tomb carefully this time!
……
"Don't underestimate the Sea-Suppressing Roar. It can really suppress natural disasters! When the flood came before, the surrounding areas were all flooded, but we didn't, all because of its protection."
The Iron Lion to Suppress the Sea in Cangzhou was built during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. After that, everyone was quite dissatisfied when they saw how the so-called experts of later generations treated it.
Many other craftsmen said, "I don't understand any of this. Later generations are not that good either. They are not omnipotent."
"I thought they knew everything and could do anything."
The people of Cangzhou were heartbroken to see the sacred beast that protected them turned into the broken and rusty state shown in the video.
"We need to erect a monument next to it, saying that it is forbidden to build a pavilion. The iron lion is meant to withstand the wind and sun, so don't do anything unnecessary."
