Welcome to the [Trend Epic] channel, today let's take a look at the following content. The world is always changing, and no one can exist eternally, eternally first, including a nation, a nation. In modern times, we have been surpassed by Western countries, bullied by them, robbed of resources by them...
From the first and second to the oppression of small countries, we are mainly because of the continuous development of the Western industrial revolution and the progress and strength of Western science and technology. Western countries are progressing and changing, and at that time, we were closed to the country, complacent, feeling that we were still the power of the East, and feeling that we were still the first.
It is especially important to be able to see the changes in the West and to feel the progress and strength of the West.
At that time, there was a group of people who were ideologically progressive, who opened their eyes to the world, to see the difference between China and the West, to see why the West could be strong, and to see the crisis and vitality that China was facing.
It is often said that Lin Zexu and Wei Yuan were the first people to open their eyes to the world.
But in fact, Xu Guangqi, who lived in the Ming Dynasty, was the first person to really open his eyes to the world.
Who is Xu Guangqi?
If you are proficient in Ming history, then you will certainly not be unfamiliar with him.
Xu Guangqi is very well-known in the Ming Dynasty, he was born in 1562 AD, died in 1633 AD, was a famous scientist and politician in the Ming Dynasty. He was also a scholar of Wenyuange University and a second assistant to the cabinet. After Xu Guangqi's death, the Chongzhen Emperor gave the crown princes Taibao and Shaobao and Yuwending.
In addition to being quite successful in politics, Xu Guangqi is also very good in other aspects.
In this life, in addition to politics, he also devoted himself to the study of mathematics, astronomy, calendar and water conservancy, and was proficient in agronomy, translating books such as "Geometric Origins", "Taixi Water Law", and "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration".
"Ci Hai" commented on Xu Guangqi: The scope of scientific research is extensive, with agronomy and astronomy as prominent.
In that era, Xu Guangqi's thinking was very advanced.
By chance, he met the missionary Guo Jujing, came into contact with Western thought, came into contact with western modern natural science, knew the size of the world, knew that the earth was round, knew that a scientist named Galileo had built and invented an astronomical telescope...
And he also became a Catholic believer, the first Chinese in China to convert to Catholicism.

His life is brilliant, full of a sense of accomplishment, and has no regrets.
