China's basic and important book is called The Book of Changes. In The Book of Changes, people can learn that binary was actually explored long before it was invented abroad. Let's take a look at the history of the invention of binary.
Although many people think that binary system was discovered by two famous scientists, Newton and Leibniz, what people don't know is that they inferred it from the eight diagrams in the Book of Changes, which can't be completely said to be their invention, because when they didn't recognize this invention, binary system had been comprehensively expounded in the Book of Changes. Then let's learn about the binary correlation in the eight diagrams. The Eight Diagrams Array was first created by Fuxi.
Fuxi recorded the earliest binary in the Eight Diagrams. At that time, he happened to record various combinations of three-digit binary numbers, which were the first binary that people came into contact with. But some people say that gossip is not based on this? In the case of different opinions, people can't accurately explain whether the Eight Diagrams Array has an accurate relationship with binary, but it is also the earliest recorded algorithm about binary. That was originally the binary discovered by China. Why Leibniz became the pioneer of binary? The main reason was that there was a Frenchman who came to China to be a teacher and found some algorithms about binary in the Book of Changes during his study.
He wrote to Leibniz at once. After knowing this news, Leibniz quickly explored the algorithm of binary, so he applied for a patent for binary first. However, it is undeniable that it is inferred from the eight diagrams in ancient China. Binary is now widely used in many computer algorithms, which simplifies some algorithms for computers, so China's Book of Changes is the first to record the algorithm about binary.
The above story only represents my personal opinion. Please forgive me if there are any mistakes.
