Newton's life

Newton, a great British physicist, was born in a farmer's family in Woolsop village, Lincolnshire on December 25th, 1642. When he was 12 years old, he showed his interest in experiments and mechanical inventions, and made water clocks, wind mills and sundials by himself. In 1661, Newton studied at Trinity College, Cambridge University. He became a professor of mathematics at Cambridge. In 1672, he was elected as a member of the Royal Society.

From 1685 to 1687, with the encouragement and sponsorship of astronomer Harley, Newton published the famous Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, and made historic discoveries-the law of motion and the law of gravity, which made great contributions to the development of modern natural science .173. Elected president of the Royal Society, he died in a small village outside London on March 27th, 1727.

Newton made great contributions not only to mechanics, but also to other aspects. In mathematics, he discovered binomial theorem and founded calculus. In optics, the dispersion experiment of solar light was carried out, which proved that white light was composed of monochromatic light, studied the theory of color, and invented reflecting telescope.

Gauss was a German mathematician, astronomer and physicist, and was regarded as one of the great mathematicians in history, enjoying the same reputation as Archimedes and Newton.

Li Bai (71-762), whose name is Taibai, was named Qinglian layman. The ancestral home of Longxi Chengji (now near Gansu water) lived in the western regions at the end of Sui Dynasty, and Li Bai was born in Broken Leaves in Central Asia. (Today, the Chu River basin in the south of Balkhash Lake was under the jurisdiction of Anxi Prefecture in the Tang Dynasty). When I was young, I moved to Qinglian Township in Changlong, Mianzhou (now Jiangyou, Sichuan) with my father.

He spent most of his life roaming. In the first year of Tianbao (742), on the recommendation of Taoist Wu, he was called to Chang 'an to worship the Hanlin. The style of the article was famous for a while, which was quite appreciated by Xuanzong. Later, because he couldn't meet the dignitaries, he abandoned his official position after only three years in Beijing, and continued his wandering life. In the second year after the Anshi Rebellion, he felt angry and difficult, and once participated in the shogunate of Yong Wang Lilin. Unfortunately, Yong Wang and Su Zong fought for the throne. After the defeat, Li Bai was dragged into exile in Yelang (now in Guizhou) and was pardoned on the way. In his later years, he drifted to the southeast, and Li Yangbing, the magistrate of Dangtu County, died soon.

Li Bai's poems are mainly lyrical. After Qu Yuan, he was the first one who could really absorb its rich nutrition from the folk literature and art at that time and Yuefu folk since Qin, Han and Wei, and concentrated on improving it to form his unique style. He has extraordinary artistic genius and majestic artistic power. He is the most outstanding romantic poet in China after Qu Yuan, and is known as "Poet Fairy". He is as famous as Du Pu, also known as "Li Du".

Su Shi was a writer, painter and calligrapher in the Northern Song Dynasty in China. Zi Zi Zhan,no. Dongpo lay man. A native of Meizhou (now Meishan City, Sichuan Province) in the Song Dynasty. Su Xun, his father, and Su Zhe, his younger brother, are both famous ancient writers, who are called "Sansu" in the world. Jiayou Jinshi, Ren Fengxiang signed a sentence, advocating the reform of malpractice. Shenzong opposed the political reform, but in Mizhou and Xuzhou, he fought floods and exterminated locusts, helped the poor and saved the orphans, and made many achievements. Later, he degraded Huangzhou by "slandering the imperial court". Zhezong was then a bachelor of Hanlin, and he knew Hangzhou, Ying, Yang and Ding. Huizong was pardoned for the first time. Poetry, ci and prose all represent the highest achievements of literature in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Most of Su Shi's poems express the feeling of bumpy official career, and some also reflect the sufferings of people's livelihood and expose the darkness of reality. The poetic style is bold and fresh, especially in metaphor. Also known as "Su Huang" with Huang Tingjian.

Su Shi's ci has a wide range of themes, including remembering the past, giving a reply, saying goodbye and reasoning, which also breaks through the strict rhythm and promotes the development of ci. His masterpieces include Nian Nu Jiao and Shui Diao Ge Tou, which set a precedent for the school of bold and unconstrained ci, and he was also called "Su Xin" with Xin Qiji.
