This film analyzes and interprets widely circulated and "well-known" historical allusions through reenactments, documentary filming, scientific experiments, and 3D animations, providing a multidimensional representation of the scientific principles behind these allusions and restoring the true history behind them. “The Science in Historical Allusions” Episode 1: Can Straw Boats Borrow One Hundred Thousand Arrows? Main content of this episode: "Borrowing Arrows with Straw Boats" is a well-known historical allusion in China, where Zhuge Liang borrowed one hundred thousand arrows from Cao Cao in just three days, successfully fulfilling Zhou Yu's request. The production team traveled through Beijing, Inner Mongolia, and Hubei, consulting experts and exploring the story's origins, conducting retro experiments based on historical texts, while also experiencing the wisdom of ancient people and the long history of Chinese civilization. “The Science in Historical Allusions” Episode 2: Who Can Shoot an Arrow Through a Hawk at a Hundred Paces? Main content of this episode: During the Spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, the "God Archer" Yang Youji was revered as the ancestor of "shooting a hawk at a hundred paces." However, the distance he shot was not the 100 paces we refer to today, but 184.8 meters. Experiments have shown that using a traditional bow and arrow to achieve "shooting a hawk at a hundred paces" is theoretically feasible, but actual testing varies based on the individual. “The Science in Historical Allusions” Episode 3: A Ride Through the Dust, the Concubine Laughs, Royal Express, Delivered in Seven Days Main content of this episode: From ancient times to the present, the one who took the enjoyment of eating lychees to the extreme was none other than Yang Guifei. To taste fresh, authentic lychees, the emperor ordered the construction of a lychee road spanning thousands of miles. Special couriers, fast horses, and uninterrupted day-and-night deliveries were employed to satisfy the beauty's cravings. Zhang Yang explored the perilous environment of the ancient lychee road and conducted a detailed comparison of famous horses from past and present, using ancient preservation techniques found in historical texts to experiment with preserving lychees—a race against time where missing one link could lead to failure. “The Science in Historical Allusions” Episode 4: Is Sima Guang Really Able to Break the Jar? Main content of this episode: "Sima Guang Breaking the Jar" is well-known throughout China. In a chaotic and urgent situation, the likelihood of a 7-year-old child successfully breaking a water jar seems questionable. Returning to the Song Dynasty a millennium ago, this episode explores and restores the story of Sima Guang breaking the jar from the perspectives of "objects, technology, and physics." “The Science in Historical Allusions” Episode 5: Can the Light from a Chiseled Wall and Fireflies Really Help Us Read? Main content of this episode: Most children have an "enemy" known as "the kids from other families." The protagonists of the allusions "Chiseled Wall for Light" and "Reading by Firefly Light," Kuang Heng and Che Yun, are ancient "other families' children," examples for generations of aspiring scholars to follow. Let's follow Zhang Yang's footsteps and explore whether the light stolen from a chiseled wall and the light from fireflies can truly illuminate the words on paper.
