However, Mr. Xue still spoke well of Gu Zheng: Master Gu was just thinking about the great truth, not being in a daze.
As a result, more people "passed by" Gu Zheng. Although he would become a saint in the future, at present, although his character was noble, he was not yet to the level of being admired by others. So everyone was curious about what he had comprehended from these details that could be seen everywhere in daily life.
There were actually a few young people who were very curious about this and discussed it with him, taking a break from their busy schedule to change their minds so that they wouldn't just focus on trivial matters like where the disaster occurred and how much relief was provided.
Later, probably because several ministers had praised it, thinking about these issues gradually replaced writing poetry and essays and became a new trend in the court.
He Qing heard the news in the palace. While he found it funny, he also felt that it was not a bad thing.
Ancient China was known for its numerous inventions, many of which predate those of Western countries by many years. While this is a source of pride, these inventions were largely unsystematic and ultimately lacked significant development, with many even being lost in history.
Ultimately, because they were mostly technical, observational, and individual, those that were useful to the general public, such as papermaking, were passed down, while those that were useless gradually declined.
Under the guidance of Confucianism for nearly a thousand years, people have emphasized the importance of applying what they have learned. Therefore, many inventions are more practical, but they do not summarize the laws and logic behind them to establish an effective theoretical system.
Until the time when the time traveler came, science and technology were still confused. But in fact, in ancient China, there was only technology, not science.
Even these technologies, because they contradicted the ideals of a refined and noble education, were not valued by the mainstream. Reading was limited to the Four Books and Five Classics, and anything involving technical skills was considered "strange and frivolous tricks" and foreign.
So books like "Mozi" already existed during the era of a Hundred Schools of Thought, but there was no progress for more than a thousand years afterwards.
In the memory of the time-traveling girl, she once saw a statement on the Internet: Although the sprouts of capitalism appeared in the late Song Dynasty and the late Ming Dynasty, in fact, under the shackles of this feudal system, it was almost impossible to let the flowers of modern civilization bloom from this soil.
This statement may be self-deprecating, but looking back at thousands of years of history, it does seem to be repeating a certain predetermined cycle: war-stability-development-war. Whenever a new system threatens to break free from existing constraints, a war will occur to nip it in the bud.
He Qing was shocked when he heard this for the first time, but later he became very enthusiastic about those small experiments.
In fact, given her level of knowledge and IQ, it would be very difficult for her to learn these things without anyone teaching her. A lot of the content was confusing and she couldn't figure it out.
But He Qing didn't want to give up. In that memory, this land later developed a modern civilization, but it grew up in the tragic collision between China and the West, stumbling and causing endless disasters.
How great would it be if we could change this established history?
So when he asked Gu Zheng that question that day, it was just a casual remark. But now, He Qing sincerely hoped that he could answer this question.
If there was a person in this era, or even in the hundreds of years that followed, who could break through the limitations of this era and create a new situation, that person would definitely be Gu Zheng. Because throughout his original life trajectory, he was deeply obsessed with studying these natural principles until his death.
Unfortunately, I took the wrong road.
He Qing's motorcade walked with Gu Zheng.
Although Master Gu was a civil official, he had good physical fitness. Unlike most civil officials, he did not ride in a carriage, but rode a horse in front to lead the way, looking very heroic.
According to historical records, after the fall of the Great Chu State, he traveled tens of thousands of miles, traversing almost the entire China, forming alliances and persuading separatist forces in various places to fight against the Iron Wolf Tribe of the grassland and keep foreign races out of the country.
Perhaps his excellent physical fitness was also a factor in his success. Otherwise, the long journey alone would have deterred most scholars.
He Qing is very conflicted now.
