Understanding of Culture in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period

The understanding of the culture in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period shows that although there has been friction between ancient China and the surrounding ethnic minorities, there is a saying that you don't know each other until you fight, and fighting is a way of communication, which is better than ignoring anyone. Look at America. Until Columbus discovered America in 1500, they were still in the primitive society. The biggest reason is that their tribes did not communicate with each other and developed in the dark. Usually, this tribe has been working while the iron is hot, while that village still uses wooden sticks. This village knows that crabs can be eaten, but other villages think they are poisonous insects. This village has long known that crocodiles can't be provoked, and people in that village have always provoked crocodiles. So it led to the backwardness of the whole United States.

The culture of our country is an exchange culture, a fusion culture. Besides fighting, there are generally economic, trade and cultural exchanges with the surrounding ethnic minorities. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the earliest clothes we wore were wide robes and big sleeves, and men also wore skirts. In fact, skirts are very similar to open-backed pants. This kind of clothing is actually not conducive to production or combat, especially compared with ethnic minorities at that time. So later, the Han people gave up their traditional costumes, especially after the second national integration of the 16 countries in Wuhu, many ethnic minorities were also incorporated into the Central Plains. Since the Tang Dynasty, clothes that were not conducive to production and fighting were abandoned by the Han people, and even the emperor's clothes changed from that kind of generous clothes to coronation clothes.

In terms of diet, Zhongyuan people are also learning from ethnic minorities. The scones we ate today were invented by ethnic minorities. Because it was easy to carry at that time, the cake we were talking about was a pot of soup with some patties in it. You can't go to war with a pot of soup. Today's Lanzhou Lamian Noodles, such as saute spicy chicken, has become the favorite of many Central Plains people.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Wen of Lu recorded Halley's Comet in 14, which is the earliest exact record of Halley's Comet in the world, but why isn't this comet called Comet Lu? Because you didn't study it after recording it. At that time, there was the world's earliest astronomical work, the "Shi Gan Xing Zhan Xue" written by Gander and Shi Shen, which recorded the five planets. Unfortunately, this study did not continue after it was recorded. If we had studied from then on, we should be able to immigrate to Mars now. Mohism is a working people and attaches great importance to natural science. At that time, Mohist Eight Optics was the earliest work to study optics. It has been more than 2000 years since Newton discovered the spectrum. If we had continued our research from then on, the time machine would have been built by today. Many scientific discoveries in our country are like this. Unfortunately, for the scientific development of the world, we didn't insist on studying them in the end. A monk and his party in Song Dynasty first measured the prime meridian, which was earlier than that in Europe 1000 years ago. It's a pity that he didn't continue his research. You think, if he continues to study, he will find that the earth is round, so there will be no Magellan and others in Europe, and we will travel around the world by ourselves.
