After reading a book, I believe you must have a lot to share. It's important to record it. Let's write a review. Maybe you have no idea now. The following are my thoughts (generally 5 articles) on "Notes on Sea Mistakes", which will be arranged for you. Welcome to learn from them, I hope it will help you.
After reading the maritime error notes, I feel that the "mistakes" of 1 maritime error are all kinds of miscellaneous.
Nie Huang, a painter and biology lover in the Qing Dynasty, drew a picture of the sea fault map, which depicts more than 300 kinds of creatures, covering almost most of the main groups of invertebrates and chordates, and also records many coastal plants. This is a good book with modern natural history style.
However, due to the limitations of the times, there are also many unreliable places in the book. For example, some animals, Nie Huang, have never seen them in person, and only the shapes drawn according to others' descriptions will be greatly distorted. The record of biological habits is also mixed.
For this reason, today, I began to analyze and study the creatures in Haicuotu from the perspective of biology, looking for clues from his words and paintings, distinguishing the authenticity, and identifying the true body of the creatures in the paintings through step-by-step reasoning and analysis-this is just like solving a case, which is very enjoyable.
During this period, I also went to Liaoning, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Tianjin, Japan, Thailand and other places to collect information and conduct field research ... Today, more than a year and a half, I have written 30 articles unconsciously. "Decoding" will continue, first set into a book "Notes on Sea Mistakes" for everyone to watch and play.
In this book, I adopted the traditional cursive classification in China, and divided the creatures in the book into four categories: Family, Scale, Insect and Poultry, to show how the ancients classified the creatures. There are popular science of marine life, textual research of old papers, anecdotes about China people and the sea, and some personal rambles. To put it bluntly, it is the 30 notes I made when I watched The Sea Mistake Map. If you find this book interesting and meaningful after reading it, I will be very happy.
Some thoughts on reading Notes on Sea Mistakes 2. This semester, I have read many books, but what impressed me the most is this book "Notes by Sea Mistakes".
The word "sea fault" in the title of this book means that there are many kinds of marine life in the dictionary. And this "Sea Mistake Notes" was written according to his "grandfather"-"Sea Mistake". More than 300 kinds of marine life are depicted in the map of marine fault, and most of these 300 kinds of marine life are small coastal life, and some of them are plants in the sea. The author of this book is Nie Huang. He was born in Hangzhou in the late Ming Dynasty. Because there were no books about marine life at that time, he made up his mind to draw a picture book. He traveled all over the coastal cities and explored all kinds of marine life. He finally finished! And this book was called "Sea Mistake Map" by him, and then he disappeared into history, and "Sea Mistake Map" disappeared. In a.d. 1726, this book was brought into the palace by Su Peisheng, the eunuch in the palace at that time. Although the "Sea Mistakes Map" was found, the sentence was not easy to understand because of the scrawl, and no one translated it. A hundred years later, a man took pains to translate it. He was the famous naturalist at that time-Zhang Chenliang, editor-in-chief of Natural History Jun. He named the book "Notes on Wrong Charts". When I read this book, I seem to be playing with the marine life in it. In this book, there are all kinds of marine life, such as rare horseshoe crabs, exotic sea gills, and delicious mackerel .........................................................................................................................................., which seems to be in a fantastic realm. But when I wandered among them, I began to worry about their future life. Because we humans sometimes discharge sewage directly into the ocean for our own benefit, which causes many creatures to die and be injured, and some creatures are completely destroyed by the "nine families". It's nothing. Several kinds of creatures were actually eaten and extinct by humans. Such a stupid guy as sea gill is always eaten by people, and the result is almost extinct. When people finally regretted it, they found that there were fewer gills in the deep sea. At this time, people are afraid to catch sea gills. In case they become extinct again. Therefore, their future is still uncertain!
I learned a lot of knowledge from this book "Notes on Sea Mistakes", so the door of this ocean is always open to me.
I was deeply attracted by a book recently, Wrong Chart Note 3 by Zhang Chenliang. It is more appropriate to say reading notes than books. This paper records the diagram of a sea fault drawn by Nie Huang in the Qing Dynasty, and puts forward different opinions from the perspective of modern biology from its written records and picture descriptions. By searching a lot of information, he recognized the true face of the creatures in the painting and sorted out his notes.
Zhang Chenliang's Notes on Sea Mistakes also gave me a deeper understanding of Nie Huang. My two favorite predecessors came together because of their love for biology, and they had a dialogue on the form, function and use of marine life across time and space. Because of the progress of the times and the development of science, the explanation of biology in many ancient books seems far-fetched. In order to get close to the truth, they have always insisted on exploring, questioning, field research and testing the truth. This is why I admire them and like this book. The truth is often getting closer and closer because we are unwilling to find the existing answers and insist on finding them.
Inspired by this book, when I read some popular science magazines, I will also think more about "why" and try to find more data to verify it. I remember reading an introduction about the color of animal fur, which is divided into protective color and warning color. This is easy to understand. For example, butterflies with dead leaves are protective colors, and colorful poisonous frogs are warning colors. The article mentioned that the tiger's fur has golden yellow and black stripes. As the king of all animals, it is also the natural enemy of many animals, which is a warning color. At that time, I was full of doubts about this view: isn't hunting in a green forest environment easier to expose? The forest mammals I know are usually black or brownish red, but nature has given the tiger such striking fur as golden yellow, but it has not affected its predation at all. Why?
I also learn from my predecessors to find answers with questions and search for books online. The answer is unexpected. It turns out that the main reason is not the tiger, but its prey. Tigers mainly target animals such as deer and sheep. They are all red, yellow and blind. Generally, they can only distinguish two colors, so the tigers they see are different from those we see. Tigers with red and yellow removed are very close to their surroundings, and are usually not easy to find, so they are very hidden. In this way, the warning color will not stand. The two predecessors are right, but the existing ones are not necessarily right. We won't know until we verify it!
In the process of asking questions, consulting materials and getting results, I found the joy in biology learning-only by constantly overthrowing the original, breaking the routine and questioning the present can we uncover the mystery of species.
Thoughts on Reading Nautical Notes (IV) Do you know Zhang Chenliang? He is a biologist and a well-known super science expert in Weibo. I am one of his 5 million fans. Today, I want to introduce a super wonderful popular science book "Notes on Sea Mistakes" written by him.
Speaking of fault maps, the author Nie Huang is a painter born in Hangzhou. This book was painted by him as a biology lover in the middle of Qing Dynasty. The mistakes of the sea are not mistakes, but diversity and complexity. In the mid-Qing Dynasty, Nie Huang traveled all over the coastal areas of China, collecting and drawing images of more than 300 species of organisms, mainly invertebrates and chordates, and many coastal plants. Among them, there are sea monks with glans penis, horseshoe crabs facing each other, dashing stone fish, and giant pythons in flames, just like an ocean version of Shan Hai Jing!
However, due to the limited knowledge, there are also unreliable places in the book. For example, some animals, Nie Huang, have never seen them with their own eyes, but according to others' descriptions, their shapes have been greatly distorted. For example, a mermaid is a middle-aged man with red fins on his back, parallel fingers on his hands and a short tail, which looks jaw-dropping. Therefore, The Annotation of Marine Mistakes is a work by Zhang Chenliang, who uses modern science and natural history knowledge to compare the contents of marine mistakes with real creatures, so as to get rid of the false and keep the true. The book is divided into four chapters, namely introduction, scale, insects and poultry. There are not only the author's observation records, but also literature research. Every article has an interesting' little praise', which often makes me laugh and read, as if playing with these various marine creatures, and the door of marine knowledge slowly opens to me.
But when I was intoxicated, I began to worry about the fate of these lovely sea elves. What impressed me the most was stone fish, which is the story of rhubarb fish we are talking about today. From the previous output in southern Zhejiang to one year100000 tons, now the wholesale price is 4000 yuan! Environmental pollution and overfishing have turned people's homes into front porch swallows. Although scientists have made countless efforts to save this population, they just fell into the sea without a sound.
Almost all the popular science books on the shelves at home are written by foreigners. I used to think that there were no scientific books in ancient China, but Haicuotu, a wonderful book that systematically revealed marine life, made me understand the efforts of our ancestors to explore scientific mysteries. To be exact:
Nie Huang painted fantastic books and explored pearls in the sea. Strange to haunt each other, you don't know the family, genus and species of the outline. Natural history works as a gifted scholar to test the sea fault, and travels all over Wan Li Road from north to south. Or ask what can be done? But read this book.
The fifth book of Notes on Wrong Charts is an ocean picture book, which is very suitable for leisure reading. Every weekend morning, I will start to make flower and fruit tea and open this interesting little book. The "fault" of "marine fault" has various meanings. Before the Han Dynasty, people used "sea fault" to refer to all kinds of marine life, and later it gradually became the general name of marine life and seafood.
This writer is really a bit wild. His name is Nie Huang. He was born in Hangzhou in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Suffering from the lack of relevant maps of marine life since ancient times, I decided to draw one myself. During the reign of Kangxi, he traveled all over the country to inspect the coastal creatures. Every time he saw one, he drew it and asked local fishermen to compare it with ancient books.
But magically, it is also his only masterpiece handed down from generation to generation. After that, Nie Huang disappeared from history, and so did this book. It is said that Qianlong also likes this little book very much, saying that I have been riding horses for so many years, and this book has satisfied my imagination of the sea.
It's really funny, because Nie Huang didn't see many things when he wrote the book, and they were all drawn according to other people's descriptions, such as crocodiles. In the book, he is like this: too kind! And the mermaid, I think it can be rated as the ugliest in the book!
