Watched the second issue of "China in Classics" at 8 o'clock tonight, focusing on China's first encyclopedia on agricultural and handicraft production technology, "Tiangong Kaiwu", paying tribute to "the ancient "Tiangong Kaiwu" "Things", the scientific spirit of "carrying on the past and opening up the future".
"Human beings cannot be born for a long time, but grains are born, and grains cannot grow by themselves, but humans are born." This is a sentence in "Nai Li", the first chapter of "Tiangong Kaiwu". In the program, Yuan Longping and Song Yingxing, who are more than 300 years apart, found the same dream of scientists through a seed: seeking truth and being pragmatic, and benefiting the people. They will use a "handshake" that spans time and space to lead the audience to experience the Chinese nation's unremitting pursuit of managing the world and benefiting the people for thousands of years. They will also let the audience see the great creations of ancient China in addition to the "four great inventions". There are also inexhaustible rich treasures.
As Meng Man, a professor at the School of History and Culture at the University for Nationalities of China, said in the program: "Our Chinese nation is actually the most innovative nation. The ancients said that 'although the Zhou Dynasty was old, its destiny was renewed', and 'every day it is new and it is new every day.' , The spirit of innovation itself is the most distinctive characteristic of the Chinese nation! ”
