王貞儀  WangZhenyi……. 金陈 Dance Tribute to the Female Scientists of the Qing Dynasty 200 Years Ago ….  In the thousands of years of space exploration history of the Chinese nation, there is a female scientist, Wang Zhenyi, who left a mark. They have never met before, but they share the same belief and mission. When we travel through the long river of time and space and look at Wang Zhenyi from a distance two hundred years ago, we will find that she is like the “Wang Zhenyi Star” in the universe, always shining brightly…….. she is story played by金晨 JinChen International Mainland China film and television actress…..  

王貞儀 Wang Zhenyi was a Chinese scientist from the Qing dynasty. She breached the feudal customs of the time, which hindered women’s rights, by working to educate herself in subjects such as astronomy, mathematics, geography, and medicine. She was well known for her contributions in astronomy, mathematics, and poetry. Shangyuan County, Jiangning Prefecture – now Nanjing Born: 1768 Died: 1797 Parents: Wang Xichen Partner: Zhan Mei

Wang Zhenyi lived with her grandfather during her childhood. From the age of 9, her grandfather taught her to write poems and compositions. She was very sensitive to the world and human conditions, and had unique thinking and understanding of social reality. After the death of Wang Zhefu, Wang Zhenyi, her grandmother Dong, her father and others went to the funeral . They lived in Jilin for 4 years and studied under Mrs. Bu Qianyao. Wang Zhenyi was not willing to be bound by the feudal concept of male superiority and female inferiority . She believed that men and women had the same mind and knowledge was not necessarily reserved for men. Women should also have the right to seek knowledge. She opposed the concept that women could only engage in eating, drinking and sewing

. Wang Zhenyi learned riding and shooting from General Mongolia’s wife , and developed the superb skill of “hitting the target”. In the forty-ninth year of Qianlong’s reign (1784), he accompanied his father and others to escort his grandfather’s coffin back to Jiangning, and then traveled around with his grandmother, father, uncle and others. In the fifty-first year of Qianlong’s reign (1786), he returned to Tianchang’s old residence with his grandmother. Wang Zhenyi married Zhan Mei when she was 25 years old. After marriage, Wang Zhenyi did not stop studying. In the second year of Jiaqing (1797), Wang Zhenyi passed away at the age of 29. 

Wang Zhenyi’s poems are simple and unpretentious, and express her feelings directly. Many of her poems reflect social reality. [6]  His representative works include “Illustrated Astrology”, “Calendar Briefs” and ” The First Collection of De Feng Pavilion “. Wang Zhenyi not only extensively dabbled in classics and epics, but also went deep into astronomy, geography, mathematics, medicine and other scientific fields that were not taken seriously at the time.  Wang Zhenyi was one of the great scholars in Chinese history. She solved many problems related to planets. He was regarded as one of the great wise men of the Qing Dynasty and is remembered by the world. Wang Zhenyi’s works influenced many scientists, mathematicians and writers in later generations.

Scientific work

Wang Zhenyi did a lot of scientific work in her short life of 29 years old. She is proficient in geography, mathematics, medicine, poetry and painting, and also understands meteorology. “What she says about sunny weather and rainy weather is not always experienced”, and her articles are “all based on facts and reasoning, and they are not inspired by others.”

Maths

It can be seen from her remaining writings that she was a female mathematician engaged in astronomical and computational research.

Calculator , also known as plan, plan, plan, etc., sometimes also called operator, is a rod-shaped calculation tool. They are usually a batch of small sticks of the same length and thickness made of bamboo or wood. They can also be made of metal, jade, bone and other materials . They are placed in a special arithmetic bag or tube when not in use. Arrange on board, felt or directly on the table. The method of calculation using “suanchi” is called ” suanchi “, and when it was introduced to Japan, it was called “arithmetic”. Calculation originated very early in China. There is a statement in ” Laozi ” that “those who are good at counting do not need to plan.” The earliest record seen is ” Sun Zi Suan Jing “. By the Ming Dynasty, calculation was gradually replaced by abacus.

In the early 17th century, the British mathematician Napier invented a calculation method, which was introduced to my country in the late Ming Dynasty and was also called “calculation”. Famous mathematicians Mei Wending , Dai Zhen and others in the Qing Dynasty once studied it. Dai Zhen called it “strategy.”

Wang Zhenyi was also engaged in researching this kind of technology introduced to our country from the West, and wrote three volumes of books to introduce Western technology to the Chinese people. She provides additional explanations of Western planning in her books, making them simple and clear. The Napier arithmetic method of multiplication and division introduced by Wang Zhenyi was considered easy to understand by readers at the time, but compared with the multiplication and division calculation methods in my country at that time, it seemed more complicated. Therefore, mathematicians did not use Western arithmetic and have always used Chinese arithmetic. Many readers regard Chinese and foreign calculations for multiplication and division as antiques, using the four arithmetic operations of written arithmetic introduced from foreign countries. This kind of written arithmetic only began to be used in 1903, so the history of using written arithmetic in China to integrate with the world is only 100 years old.
