Chapter 1246

"Yin Yang combined calendar? But the lunar calendar and the solar calendar coincide with each other except the spring equinox, the summer solstice and the autumn equinox and the winter solstice. How can they combine Yin and Yang?" Wu Meiniang was surprised and asked everyone's doubts.

"It's natural to seek common ground while reserving differences. We just need to coincide these four days, and the others operate separately and do not interfere with each other." Merton nodded.

"Seek common ground while reserving differences!" Li Chunfeng suddenly moved in his heart and looked at Merton strangely. With his intelligence, he can naturally understand how much philosophy these four words contain.

"How about the Spring Festival!" a Taoist frowned.

"Naturally, it is the lunar calendar, that is, the lunar calendar. Other festivals are the same. The lunar calendar focuses on traditional festivals to guide the lunar season, and the solar calendar focuses on ten day off holidays to accurately record the year. The two do not conflict," Merton replied.

The Taoist people looked a little slower.

"And in order to show the sincerity of Mohism, Mo also has a big gift to offer." Merton stretched out her hand, and Wu Meiniang took out a beautifully made cardboard with high hardness and a stack of thick palm sized paper from a backpack behind her.

"What is this?" Wu Meiniang was surprised. She didn't know that the master had so much preparation.

Merton picked up the beautiful cardboard and replied, "as a teacher, we call it the wall calendar. For ordinary people, we only need to know what day it is today, a few days off, and 24 solar terms are enough. Therefore, most people only need a cardboard to meet the calendar, so the wall calendar came into being."

This time, Merton did not let Wu Meiniang do it, but directly wrote down the monthly calendar legislation in Chinese characters, marked the ten day rest day in a row every ten days, and then wrote the solar calendar in the blank of each grid. Soon, a beautiful wall calendar appeared in front of everyone.

"Calendar!"

Li Chunfeng looked at the beautifully made wall calendar and recalled all the yellow paper calendars before. He immediately made a judgment. The wall calendar is not only enough for the daily needs of ordinary people, but also more easy to understand and promote the world.

"Mo calls it a calendar. The calendar shows the calendar of the year on a piece of paper, and each piece of the calendar carries the calendar of the day, daily sunrise time, sunset time, chronology of heavenly stems and earthly branches, bad luck and taboos, and 24 solar terms. However, all the calendars that can be used on each day are written on 365 pieces of paper, each day in the past, Just tear off one, which is simple, practical and clear at a glance. "Merton wrote down yesterday's calendar in a calendar, tore it down and handed it to Li Chunfeng.

Li Chunfeng looked at yesterday's calendar in his hand. Although it was a thin piece of paper, it covered all the calendars, and there was no need to be like the previous calendars. People who were proficient in calendars needed to calculate bad luck and taboos. Even ordinary people knew the calendar like the back of their hands.

"It seems that mohou is ready. What if Taoism doesn't agree to cooperate?" Li Chunfeng asked jokingly.

Merton said, "if Taoism disagrees, Mohism will also issue wall calendars and calendars. However, at that time, the calendar issued by Mohism will be dominated by solar calendar, which will be put in the front with simpler and clearer numbers and the font will be the largest."

Li Chunfeng looked down. Sure enough, both the wall calendar and the calendar are mainly based on the lunar calendar, and Chinese characters are placed in the front, with the largest font.

At present, the mainstream of the Tang Dynasty is Chinese characters, but the numbers are very easy to recognize and learn. In addition, there are Chinese characters to assist, which does not affect the use of the people.

Merton then said, "at the same time, the Mohists will give up using ten day break, but adopt the seven Yao system, take the sun, moon and five stars of gold, wood, water, fire and earth as a week, take a break every week, and fully implement it in the Mohist village, and comprehensively promote ink magazines.

"Seven Yao is a week!" Li Chunfeng frowned. Qiyao is another astronomical phenomenon in the Tang Dynasty. Qiyao represents the sun, moon, gold, wood, water, fire and earth. According to Taoist observation, the moon lasts seven days from the half full moon to the full moon; from the full moon to the half full moon, it lasts seven days. From the half full moon to the disappearance, it lasts seven days; from the disappearance to the half full moon, it lasts seven days. Seven days is also the cycle of the moon's profit and loss, and Qiyao is a week There is a great market in Datang. It is possible to compete with the ten day rest system, let alone a rest in seven days, which is more popular than a rest in ten days.

"Of course, Mo knows that once the two calendars run at the same time, it will certainly add trouble to the people's life in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Mo decides to take the initiative to cooperate with Taoism, focusing on the monthly calendar, supplemented by the solar calendar, and combining Yin and Yang calendar, respecting customs and benefiting the people's life." Merton said.

Li Chunfeng frowned and thought that the combination of yin and Yang calendar can not only avoid the disputes caused by the difference between the solar calendar and the monthly calendar, but also not only the solar calendar is unique, not to mention the wall calendar and calendar made by the Mohist school, which are more helpful to promote the calendar. The benefits are obvious. If the Taoist school disagrees, the Mohist school can also put aside the Taoist school to promote the solar calendar alone, and even make a calendar to compete with the monthly calendar It was more passive.

"Seeking common ground while reserving differences makes Li ashamed. This time, Li Chunfeng agreed to cooperate with Mohism on behalf of Taoism. This calendar reform, Mohism cooperated with Taoism and mainly promoted the yin-yang calendar." Li Chunfeng laughed and agreed.

Li Chunfeng looks cheerful, but he is also a helpless choice. Although Taoism is the main part of the yin-yang combined calendar of Taoism and Mohism, there is no unique scenery of Taoism. If he refuses the yin-yang combined calendar, the legislative reform will not be able to bypass the sun calendar anyway. Even if Taoism refuses the Yin-Yang combined calendar, Mohism will not lose much.

At that time, it doesn't matter if the Mohist school launches the solar calendar alone, because the calendar is not the main business of the Mohist school. If it succeeds, the status of Taoism will be extremely embarrassing. The combination of Taoism and Mohism will benefit both, and failure will hurt both. No, it's just the loss of the Taoist family. Li Chunfeng naturally knows how to choose.

"Thank you for your success! Mo Mou leaves," outside the Taishi Bureau, Merton arched his hands to the Taoist school.

"Mo Hou, go slowly!" Li Chunfeng saluted back.

Then the carriage drove slowly away from the Taishi Bureau. On the carriage, Wu Meiniang looked at the yin-yang calendar agreed by the two Daomo families and couldn't help being excited.

"Seeking common ground while reserving differences, Shifu is really smart. If not, those Bulls would not agree to join the yin-yang calendar of Mohism." Wu Meiniang opened with a smile. Although the yin-yang calendar is mainly based on the lunar calendar of Taoism, Mohism has a place in the calendar.

Merton shook his head and said, "seeking common ground while reserving differences is not only aimed at Taoism, but also the guideline for Mohism to get along with other hundred schools. In the future, it will be used to resolve conflicts with other hundred schools."

"The policy of getting along with the other hundred schools of Mohism?" Wu Meiniang suddenly brightened her eyes and thought deeply.

"And do you know that the calendar has always been the forbidden territory of Taoism, and this time, why did Taoism agree to seek common ground while reserving differences, let the Mohist participate in it and jointly push the yin-yang calendar?" Merton asked.

"It's not master's power to work out a solar calendar suitable for ten thousand years." Wu Meiniang said with a smile.

Merton shook his head and sneered, "that's because if Taoism refuses, the loss will be greater. If you have strength, others will seek common ground with you while reserving differences. Otherwise, who wants others to take their own cake."

Wu Meiniang immediately looked solemn and nodded solemnly

Merton shook his head and said, "you only know one thing and don't know the other. The calendar is just a side affair of Mohism and Taoism. Even if you give up it, it won't hurt the foundation. It's impossible to keep differences for the core concept of Mohism. I believe that Taoism is the same, which is the true meaning of seeking common ground while reserving differences."

"Disciples are taught!" Wu Meiniang was impressed.
