Ancient Chinese Guan Tian Time Tools Discarding

The leak was another time in ancient times.

Leakage refers to the leakage pot for time, which is the unit that divides the day.

The moment is measured through the floating arrows of the leakage pot, and the leak is a chronograph instrument available to day and night.

The leaky timing method can be divided into two categories: leakage type and water type.

The leak is an independent chronograph system that only uses water movement.

The improvement of leakage pots is a technical issue. Ancient heavenly scholars who care about this issue, such as Zhang Heng and Shen Kuo, have contributed to the improvement of the leakage pot.

Because in addition to accurate time measurement in daily life, the astronomical calendar requires accurate time measurement systems.

The leakage is an ancient timing tool. It is not only used in ancient China, but also ancient civilizations such as ancient Egypt and Babylon.

The chanting invention was no longer available. According to historical records, leakage was first recorded in "Zhou Li".

The leak is composed of two parts: leakage and a ruler.

The leakage pot is used to leak or flourish. The ruler is used to mark the time, placed in the pot when used, and moved up and down with the water level in the pot.

The earliest omissions are also called arrows.

When used, first insert a benchmarking benchmark in the leaky pot, called an arrow. Under the arrow, a arrow supports each other, floating on the water. When the water flows out or flows into the pot, the arrow rod sinks or rises accordingly, and the scales on the arrow at the mouth of the pot are indicated.

The leakage is a typical time timing device, and the accuracy of the timing depends on the uniformity of the water flow.

Most of the early leaks are used to use single leaks. The dripping speed is affected by the height of the liquid level in the pot. The water level is high, the dripping speed is fast, the water level is low, and the dripping speed is slow.

In order to solve this problem, the ancients further created a multi -level leak -engraved device, using thirsty horses to attract water, and thirsty horses is a siphon.

The so -called multi -level leak carving, even with multiple leakage pots, connected in sequentially in sequence, each leakage pot dripped into the next leakage pot.

In this way, for the lowest kettle, the kettle above it is supplemented by the same rate of water, and the liquid level in the kettle is basically constant, and its own drip speed can be kept uniform.

In ancient China, there were also some timing tools similar to the principle of leakage structure, such as measuring the leakage of time with the weight of weighing water, and the hourglass of the sand generation water. Leam.

In the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, the four years of the Qing Dynasty (1799), 591 cm high, and a base of 458 × 259 cm.

The bronze pot leakage currently existed in the Beijing Palace Museum was made in 1745 AD. The water leaking pot flowing out of the exquisite dragon mouth of the pot was flowing out of the pot in turn. There was a bronze man on the arrow lid. There are 96 square meters engraved on the top, and each grid is 15 minutes.

In the folk, there are few these instruments. The most commonly used time is more fragrant. Although it is not very accurate, daily needs can also be met. There is also a time -called roller bomb in the army to facilitate the convenience of the army.
