Moon, that is, the moon, is a celestial body in the vast universe and is the satellite of the earth. is our cognitive achievement today. The reason for this cognition is that technology has improved. We can not only use the astronomical telescope to observe the appearance of the moon's surface, but also launch the lunar rover to explore the moon's celestial body.
As early as the last century, humans had already set foot on the moon. Later, after people's research, it was found that the environment of the moon is very harsh compared to the earth, with the lowest temperature being more than minus 100 degrees, which is very cold. However, in ancient times, people in our country called the moon " Guanghan Palace " and believed that it was very cold. So, how did they know? After all, the technological level at that time was far inferior to today. Next, let’s discuss it together.
naked eye observation results
Whether in "Journey to the West" or in other mythological film and television dramas, as long as there are immortals that have been passed down, there will generally be the fairy Chang'e . She is a typical representative of the cold fairy. Many gods like her, but she doesn't care about it. She only lives in the huge Guanghan Palace and is companion with Jade Rabbit .
The Guanghan Palace, in terms of actual appearance, does conform to "cold", because the entire environment is the coldness of winter in the world, and the name is also very appropriate, and she is the only one living alone in the palace, which does conform to the characteristics of "cold" and boredom.
Today we use technological means to find that Guanghan Palace is the moon, and although the environment on the moon is not as in the mythology, the temperature is very consistent with the characteristics of "cold". According to research, the temperature on the moon is 120 degrees during the day, while the temperature at night is only minus 180 degrees, with a temperature difference of 300 degrees. The lowest temperature in has exceeded the limit of human survival.
But the problem also arises. The reason why we can obtain such scientific data today is that we have an advanced scientific level now. Then the ancients never went to the moon and there was a saying that landed on the moon. That was only in mythological stories, so why did the ancients know that the moon was very cold? In fact, we have personal limitations. We should know that the ancients did not have developed technology, but they were not that ignorant. The main reasons for their ability to know the "cold" of the moon.
The first reason is the result of their naked eyes observing the moon. Whether it is ancient people or modern people, when we look up at the moon in the sky, we will find that the moon itself is white, but there are some shadows in this white. But even so, according to human perception of color, red is an unrestrained and passionate color, so we will feel very hot after seeing it, and white belongs to a cold color system. The first time we see it, it feels cold.
So I have seen a lot, and since ancient times, people's perception and judgment of colors have felt that the moon should be a very cold existence. In Li Bai's poem , it says that "I don't know the moon when I'm young, and I call it a white jade plate." Whether it is an image like "jade plate" or "jade wheel", it gives people a cold feeling, because although white jade is pure and flawless, we feel "cold" at first sight when we see it. Under this naked eye observation and understanding of color perception, people think that the moon is very cold, so the name of "Guanghan Palace" spreads.
Ancient legends
The second reason is the ancient legends that have been left behind. We are familiar with "Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, and her heart is always in the blue sea and blue sky." We only know that Chang'e finally took the elixir of immortality, so she ascended to Guanghan Palace. However, in the " Ten Continents Records " by Dongfang Shuo , it is recorded that "after the winter solstice, the moon nourishes the soul in Guanghan Palace."
. The reason why he said this is because the identity of Chang'e is recorded in " Book of Songs ", saying that she is "the daughter of the concubine of the Emperor Ku ".At the beginning, Chang'e was called 年年 , because 年 Liu Heng, in order to avoid taboos, he changed his name to Chang'e. However, historians of conducted research based on the records in the Book of Songs and found that in ancient times, the marriage between Feng'e and Houyi was probably the result of the marriage between the two major tribes.
Later, Houyi was killed by a Hanxian , so the tribe where Wen'e is located married to the Han tribe, and Wen'e married Hanxian. The recorded "king of kings" Han Jiao and Han Feng may be the children born by Chang'e. After all, there is also an Hanting District in , Weifang City, Shandong today. More than 4,000 years ago, the Hanguo where Hanyue is located was in Hanting District.
And the reason why it is called "Guanghan Palace" is that some people say it is . In order to make Chang'e happy, Hanxian built a large palace for her to live in, and named it "Guanghan Palace". "Guang" means grand, and because Hangong is located in Han Kingdom, the name "Guanghan Palace" is given. The reason why Guanghan Palace is located on the moon is because the totem believed in by the Han Kingdom is the moon, so there is the saying that Chang'e flies to the moon .
The coldness is high
The third reason is that people judge the moon based on cognitive common sense and life common sense to be called Guanghan Palace. Generally, we all know that geography is now that the higher the , the closer it feels to the sun in space, our somatosensory temperature is very low, and the lower the altitude, the higher the somatosensory temperature and the actual temperature. Under the influence of this altitude, the temperature is constantly changing, and it is definitely not only people today who can feel it. "The fragrance of flowers is gone in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temples are blooming" clearly shows the relationship between temperature and altitude. For example, there is no spring beauty in April on earth, but the peach blossoms in the temples on the mountain are still blooming.
The moon is far higher than the peach blossoms in the temples on the mountain, hanging in the sky that people could not touch at that time. In their opinion, it was a very cold place, so they felt that the moon was very cold. After all, Su Shi also wrote "The high place is cold." The sentence shows that the ancients knew that high places were very cold places, and thus the saying "Guanghan Palace" was also introduced.
Conclusion
The ancients had advanced research on the moon, and even if they were not advanced. Those who study hard can indeed see many uneven mountains on the moon, but most of the understanding of the moon's "temperature" comes from their daily imagination. After all, the moon is so white at first glance, or hanging in the high sky, so there is naturally a legend that the moon is very cold.
The ancients paid the most attention to the beauty of artistic conception. The coldness belongs to the place where Chang'e lives. In addition, with mythological colors participating in it, the name of Guanghan Palace naturally came into being. With the help of some mythological novels, people spread it word by word, so the spread of Guanghan Palace has become even wider. As for why it is called Guanghan Palace, many people who spread it actually don’t know the real reason, because they have not actually explored it.
