Sophia once came to China to be a guest of CCTV's Dialogue. Anyone who is interested can search and see, just like normal people.
Figure-Sophia guest "Dialogue" program
The successful development of Sophia has promoted artificial intelligence to a new height, and also let people see the future of artificial intelligence. But I want to say that China made this kind of artificial intelligence more than two thousand years ago, and you will be surprised.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, both Lu Ban and Mozi were great inventors beyond that era, but compared with what I am going to talk about below, it is simply not worth mentioning, even if Lu Ban invented a wooden kite that can fly for three days, even if Mozi discovered pinhole imaging.
Liezi Tang Wen recorded an unnamed craftsman. Because he is a Yanshi (now Yanshi, Henan), people call him Yanshi.
Zhou Muwang, who loved traveling all his life (the one who once had a tryst with the Queen Mother of the West), traveled to the west, climbed Kunlun Mountain and climbed Yandang Mountain (Luoxia Mountain, Yandang Mountain recorded in the Shanhaijing).
Tu-Zhou Muwang saw the sculpture of the Queen Mother of the West.
On Zhou Muwang's way home, a man blocked the way and wanted to offer his skills. It was Yanshi.
Zhou Muwang summoned Yan: "What skills do you have?"
Yanshi: "I am willing to give it a try as long as there is an order from the king." But I made something, I hope your majesty can read it first. "
Zhou Muwang said, "Bring it here tomorrow and I'll watch it with you."
The next day, Yanshi took a person to see Zhou Muwang.
King Mu asked, "Who are you with?"
Yan replied, "I became a song and dance artist."
King Mu was very surprised, only to see the man scurrying slowly, stretching and bending freely, completely like a real person. He can sing with his head down, and the song can change with the rhythm of the song; Raise your hand and you can dance. Dance movements are in tune with the beat, and the movements are ever-changing and arbitrary.
Picture-it's just a picture.
Zhou Muwang thought this was a real person, so he called out his concubine to watch.
I didn't know this man was flirting with the concubines in Zhou Muwang at the end of the performance.
Zhou Muwang was furious: The woman who seduced me in front of me gave me a cuckold. It's true that the son of heaven is not arrogant. When I am an idiot, someone will push them out and behead them.
Yan was so scared that he quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, so he removed all the singers and dancers. Really dismantled, like a bench.
Zhou Muwang saw that this "person" who just sang and danced to hook up with women turned out to be made of leather, wood and resin, and painted with pigments such as chalk, black charcoal, cinnabar and green pheasant.
Zhou Muwang was too scared to believe his eyes. He descended from his throne and examined it carefully. He saw that this "man" has all the internal organs, bones and muscles, hair, and everything a man should have.
Pictures-no other meaning, just a picture.
Zhou Muwang ordered Yanshi to reassemble, and the result was restored. Zhou Muwang was curious and tried it himself: take off its heart, and this "person" will die and cannot speak; Remove its liver and it will be blind; Take away its kidney, and its leg will be paralyzed immediately.
Zhou Muwang is very happy: I have traveled around the world and dealt with immortals, so I am well informed. This is the first time I have seen such an interesting object, which is similar to the creation of human beings by Nu Wa. So Zhou Muwang ordered Yanshi and this "artificial intelligence" to be brought back to Haojing.
Later, Lu Ban and Mozi's disciples told them about it. They felt ashamed and never boasted again.
This is such a thing. If it is true, not to mention that era, even modern earth-shattering technology can throw Sofia 18 streets.
If they can really create such exquisite artifacts, what will happen if they have feelings?
Do you think it will be true?
Keywords transparent bronze mirror, standing wave fish washing, two-tone chime, algae well,
The transparent bronze mirror can expose the pattern on the back of the bronze mirror from the light and shadow.
According to the basic principle, the uneven thermal expansion and cold contraction of thin and thick patterns in bronze mirror casting make the mirror surface slightly change in curvature, which is amplified by the reflection of light.
Standing wave fish wash, standing wave is a kind of enhanced pattern produced by reflection and superposition of waves in regular space. This is an acoustic phenomenon.
Two-tone chime, a chime can play two pitches that restrict each other. When playing the A sound, the B sound is suppressed, and vice versa.
These two sounds have a common multiple relationship with wavelength.
Seaweed well,
This is the most interesting. Algae wells can form a strange wind bucket.
It has a chimney effect on the wind, and some aerodynamic wind and cold air grids are carved around it.
A pavilion with algae wells is equivalent to an air-conditioning ventilator overhead, which can activate the surrounding hot air to pull it up naturally.
Make the pavilion exceptionally cool and become a gazebo.
Some pavilions are also equipped with wells and water storage wells, which are cooled by pumping cold air and become well pavilions. And ice storage in ice room pits and pavilions.
Caisson is a kind of cooling tower with large surface area.
Shouldn't the most rebellious scientific inventions be the famous "four great inventions"
Although the compass was invented by clever people in China, it is mainly used to see Feng Shui. But without this invention, the era of great navigation would not come. Without this era, the communication between the East and the West would be hundreds of years behind, the collision and formation of human civilization would be delayed for many years, and the pattern of the global village would not be formed.
You said it was fate, not fate?
And gunpowder. Although our lively ancestors invented gunpowder, it was mainly used to make firecrackers, which made our festivals extremely lively, and weddings and funerals also added more lively atmosphere because of gunpowder. However, without gunpowder, western gun technology would not develop on a large scale. If they had stayed in their own cold weapon era, China would not have opened to the outside world during the Opium War, relying on what the West used to plunder underdeveloped areas and establish one colony after another. If you don't open the door, Qing may have a long-term stability, and maybe you will tie a braid behind your head and shout, long live, long live.
You said that this invention is not against the sky, not only against the sky, but also against the sky.
And paper making. Without the discovery of papermaking, all articles are still engraved on bamboo slips and written on expensive silk. Literati write on bamboo slips with a knife, which greatly reduces the efficiency of writing, and culture cannot be spread. Without spread, there will be no progress. Maybe our civilization will go back to a thousand years ago.
You say this invention goes against the sky?
Let's talk about printing. Without movable type printing, all books would be copied. How expensive will that book be? Most people can't afford to read. If they can't afford to read books, they will be ignorant, and ignorance will be deceived. They think they are born cheap and should be enslaved. There will be no Renaissance, and there will be no mass dissemination of knowledge. If knowledge does not spread, technology will not spread.
You say this invention goes against the sky?
Four great inventions and some small objects.
The first one, of course, is the famous "China boots", which is what foreigners call stirrups.
Stirrup is the crystallization of China people's wisdom.
White, an expert in the history of British science and technology, said, "Few inventions are as simple as stirrups, and few inventions are of such great significance."
Although the stirrup is a small object, it is of great significance to people in the era of relying on animal transport. He freed the knight's hands and allowed him to wield heavy weapons on horseback.
The stirrup first discovered in China appeared in the Sixteen Kingdoms period, while it did not appear in Europe until the 6th century. It was first found in the graves of Avar people in Hungary. Avar people are descendants of Rouran people in Mongolian Plateau.
So stirrups are also called China boots.
Without stirrups, it is hard to imagine cavalry shooting arrows with bows at once, and it is hard to imagine them galloping freely. Of course, this picture may be difficult to appear:
The second is naturally the Warring States gear. Just look at the picture. Needless to say, this is from the fourth century BC.
There were many (most) inventions of fate in ancient China. In addition to the four great inventions, I will give the following examples.
First, Chinese characters.
From knotting to the legendary "Cang Xie made the word cry",
China invented writing to bid farewell to the wild times. Chinese characters are constantly developing: Oracle Bone Inscriptions, epigraphy (Zhong Ding), seal script, official script, regular script, running script, cursive script,
From simple to complex, and from complex to simple; Pictographic characters to Liu Shu [six word-making methods: pictographic characters, index characters, knowing characters, pictophonetic characters, borrowing (borrowing) characters, and transliteration characters]. Most of the characters invented by ancient civilizations of other nationalities have disappeared and are rarely used, but China's square Chinese characters are still in practical use today. There used to be a textbook saying that Chinese characters would eventually take the road of pinyin, but now it seems unnecessary. Chinese characters are mostly a combination of "form, sound and meaning", which is concise and rich in meaning: among several languages used by the United Nations, only Chinese characters occupy the position of length, with the least paper. With the development and revival of the Chinese nation, more and more foreigners are learning Chinese and Chinese characters, and of course there are many jokes.
Chopsticks, pottery and porcelain.
The knives and forks used in western food today were eliminated thousands of years ago. The legend of chopsticks is that after cooking food in the wild, Dayu found that the original knives, forks and other tableware were not brought, so some people broke long branches to hold food, and found that it was better than knives and forks, so it was gradually popularized, replacing the knives and forks made of bones, wood and metal. Chopsticks can hold almost all solid food,
Its scientific principle seems to be "lever balance (labor-saving) principle", which can exercise the flexibility of people's hands (fingers), and then exercise the brain, nervous system, etc., making people smarter, so-called "clever thinking."
Bamboo chopsticks are matched with a fired ceramic spoon,
cup
Bowls and plates
Tableware and so on. Convenient, durable, hygienic and environmentally friendly. Of course, there are metal bowls and chopsticks today.
But some brands are round at both ends and easy to roll, which is not as good as traditional ones.
People in China have learned to eat with chopsticks almost since weaning. If they still can't learn to use chopsticks for a long time, they are likely to be accused of being stupid children.
There is also a lot of table manners culture with chopsticks: you can't point chopsticks at others, knock on the edge of dishes, and you can't put chopsticks directly in the middle of meals, just like offering incense to the dead ... Foreign countries, especially western Renye Fang, began to learn from China people to eat with chopsticks.
I remember a joke: two foreigners were talking:
"China people's chopsticks are really amazing!"
"Why?"
"My wife came back from China and only used chopsticks to eat and drink soup. As a result, she quickly lost several kilograms. "
