During the summer solstice of 1547 AD, a major event occurred in Luoyang.
On this day, the streets of the city were bustling with activity. The shouts of the roadside vendors, the whispers of pedestrians, and the bargaining sounds of the shoppers intertwined together, decorating this familiar yet unfamiliar city.
He was familiar with the city of Luoyang, which always exuded a refreshing coolness on the summer solstice. It was mixed with the wind from the Pacific Ocean and the steam from the Yellow River in the north, causing the city to gradually lose the shadow of the temperature-zone monsoons in recent decades. To say that he was unfamiliar, there was a suffocating heat today. The air was dry and aggressive, cracking his skin and hurting the dreams of the city people. It was difficult for them to wake up from their comfortable lives and adapt to the dry and hot environment.
It was already 10 o'clock, but the temperature was rising rapidly. Therefore, the peddlers began to show a distorted, extraordinary indifference to fame and fortune that went against their nature: "How many times have you asked? If you don't want to buy it, leave quickly! Who would be willing to earn your money!“
As a result, consumers began to show their dissatisfaction."What kind of attitude is that? Who cares about a lousy antique like you! "Turn around and leave. He had just taken a few steps when an accident happened.
The direction of the shadow gradually changed, slowly moving from the northeast to the northwest.
The antique seller noticed this change immediately. He gaped at the customers who had been driven away by his fiery temper. That person was walking with his face facing east. The shadow's area gradually shrank, and before he knew it, it had already arrived behind him.
The merchant's mind told the antique peddler," This was definitely not something that could be explained by a simple logic like " that person was moving, so he walked in front of his own shadow."
? He raised his head and looked at the sun. As expected, the sun in the west didn't set at the time it was supposed to. Instead, it headed east!
The sun should have been setting in the west, but it was burning fiercely, hanging at noon. This was really puzzling.
Before the pedestrians could react, some people could not hold on and fainted.
The people's originally hot hearts became even more flustered, and they all looked back at the unfortunate weakling who was the first to bear the brunt.
The old man caught a glimpse of the truth at the moment when his life fell. He pointed to the sky weakly, wandering on the edge of life and death.
Everyone was enlightened. This was an unusual day. The peaceful and prosperous world was shattered by the sun from the western sky, leaving only grotesque fragments on the ground.
Eighteen days later, the disaster brought by the polar day finally ended. The sun slowly retreated to the west, returning to its original natural order.
In these 18 days, there was no heat dissipation transition at night. The unprecedented high temperature caused by the accumulation of the surface temperature was like a nightmare in this city, sending more than half of Luoyang's population to the underworld.
