[edited] Labyrinths in history Human beings have been building labyrinths for 5,000 years. Throughout different periods of cultural development in the world, these strange structures have always attracted people to strain along the winding and difficult paths in search of the truth. So what is the attraction of this mysterious path? Why is it still fascinating today?
It's impossible to describe the first labyrinth in Greek mythology without recalling the words of the famous Argentine poet, novelist and translator Jorge Luis Borges: "Build a house from which one cannot find an exit, and, perhaps even more bizarrely, with a monster with a bull's head inside."
The myth tells that once upon a time King Minos ruled the island of Crete. One year he failed to deliver the promised sacrifice of a bull to Poseidon, the god of the sea, and the god was so angry that he was determined to take revenge. He possessed the bull and seduced King Minos' wife, Queen Pasiphae. Soon after, the queen gave birth to the Minotaur, a monster with the head of a bull. In order to hide the monster from the public, King Minos ordered Daedalus, the island's best craftsman, to build a labyrinth: a strange, underground house with corridors that led farther and farther away from the light and from which there was no exit. The frenzied Minotaur wandered from wall to wall, dashing left and right, feeding on the tribute of the king of Athens. Finally, one day, Theseus, a prince of Athens, broke into the labyrinth with his sword. He retreated all the way down the thread of a ball of string given to him by Ariadne, the daughter of King Minos, killed the Minotaur, a bull-headed monster, and followed the thread again to find the exit and leave the labyrinth alive.
Scientists generally think of a labyrinth as a place like this: curving passages separated by a wall. People held rituals, dances and performances here. The earliest labyrinth we know of, much later than the mythical one, was built in the Mycenaean period in about 1600 B.C. in a royal palace in the Cretan capital. It resembles a 12th century B.C. labyrinth painted on clay tablets found in Pylos, Greece.
The story of the clay tablet goes like this: behind the door of a royal palace in the city of Troy sat a courtier. His task was to register on the clay tablet the number of goats paid by his subjects and the names of the contributors. When the tribute payers left, he had nothing else to do, so he turned the clay tablet over and sketched a labyrinth on it. It was this piece of clay board lying in the ground for about 3200 years, but miraculously preserved intact to this day.
People believe that the walls of the labyrinth have magical powers: in the labyrinth around the circle, can bring a good harvest to the field, no children can have children, in short, can be successful, so in the past, people often in the labyrinth to hold a coming-of-age ceremony. Some people even believe that the labyrinth has the magic power to help childbirth, for example, in some places in northern India, people painted with a labyrinth of bronze plate with water for women in labor to drink. This custom survived into the 18th and 19th centuries.
Archaeologists in Scandinavia found a labyrinth made of stone as tall as a man, named the "Fortress of Troy". An ingenious path leads to a central square. There a girl waits for her beloved, who dances his way through the intricate pathways to the girl.
The magic of the labyrinth seemed to weaken during the Trojan War in the 12th century B.C., when many peoples invaded Mycenaean Greece, cities and castles were destroyed, traditions were lost.
But the neglect of tradition did not diminish interest in the labyrinth. During the first millennium B.C., this interest expanded, spreading from the Mediterranean to Syria and on to the countries of the East - today's Afghanistan, India, Sri Lanka and Indonesia. It soon spread again in the West: to Spain, Britain, Scandinavia and Rus.
By the Roman period, labyrinth motifs were the decorative choice. In the mansions of the nobility, front rooms and dining rooms were decorated with labyrinth appliqué patterns. At the center of these geometric motifs were usually scenes from ancient mythology: Theseus and the slain Minotaur. People at the time seemed more concerned with the form of the motifs than with the faults of their "labyrinths," which could neither be entered nor exited.
In the Christian era, the sacred power of the labyrinth returned. The whole of human life is a labyrinth, and at the center of this labyrinth are the turning points of life. Only through the difficult and winding path of pilgrimage can one say goodbye to a life of sin and reach the center of the labyrinth, where the purpose of life is found.
The shape of the labyrinth changed in the small motifs used to decorate manuscripts in the early Middle Ages, when the priest Otfried Weisebrugesky had the lines that made up the labyrinth motifs formed into a Christian cross, which led to the creation of a variety of Gothic labyrinths. The motifs of these labyrinths were often used to decorate the entrances to cathedrals. For example, Chartres Cathedral qualifies as a labyrinth. To get into the center of the church, you have to make 28 turns - the same number of days as the lunar month of Tai Yin.
Medieval England was popular for lawn labyrinths, which are lawns planted in the style of a maze. It's not hard to imagine what a pattern it was. Young people loved to walk here; craftsmen's guilds would hold festivals here; and citizens often came here for religious celebrations. To this day there are dozens of these labyrinths for tourists to visit. One very old labyrinth has survived in South Wales, dating back to 1800.
There are three similar labyrinths in Germany: one in Hanover called "The Wheel". Two others were built by Swedish soldiers during the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), one north of Naumburg, called the "Swedish Wheel", and one in Gretchen, called the "Swedish Mowing Ground".
There are more than 500 ancient labyrinths in Scandinavia, the Baltics and Russia. These labyrinths are built of small round stones and boulders and are called "Trojan Fortresses" in the north. Most of the labyrinths vary from 7 to 18 meters in diameter, and many of them are Cretan labyrinths with only one entrance, while only a few Baltic labyrinths have two entrances. All of these labyrinths were built between the 13th and 17th centuries, judging by the lichens covering the stones. Their use is still unknown, perhaps for rituals, perhaps not. Because by then Europe had entered the Renaissance, people had become masters of their own destiny and found a way to save themselves. [edit]Single Labyrinths and Compound Labyrinths A single labyrinth is a labyrinth with only one way to go.
For a single labyrinth, there is a one-size-fits-all way to break it, which is to follow one of the walls.
Or in other words, you keep touching the left (right) wall with your left (right) hand as you walk; this method may take the longest, and may lead you to every corner of the maze and every dead end, but you'll never be stuck in it forever.
Plex mazes are mazes that have multiple ways to go.
Because of the multiple ways of walking, there must be some places in the compound maze where you can walk back to the origin without turning back, and this passage that can be walked back to the origin shows a closed loop in the maze, and the maze can be divided into several parts with this loop as the boundary. Therefore, the complex maze is essentially composed of several single mazes.
The above "one-size-fits-all" method does not necessarily work for compound mazes, provided that the start and end points are in the same part of the compound maze.
Compound mazes, while there are many ways to go, are likely to be more complicated, as going in circles is worse than going into a dead end in a labyrinth. [edit]Logic of walking the labyrinth Roarke laughed and said, "It's just a myth. We don't know how deep this cave is, how many forks in the road, and how big a ball of thread to bring with us?"
Mitchell was a bit anxious as he asked, "So what do you say?"
Rock said, "In fact, you can walk through the maze without a ball of thread, you go by the following three rules, you will be able to walk in and out:
The first rule, when you enter the maze, you can choose any path to go forward;
The second rule, if you encounter a dead end that you can't go through, return immediately and mark that intersection;
Thirdly, if you come across a fork in the road, observe whether there is any passage that you have not traveled. If there is, choose a passage to go forward; if there is not, follow the original road back to the original fork in the road, and make a mark. Then just repeat the walk described in the second and third rules until you find the exit. If all parts of the labyrinth are to be searched, there is an additional rule to be added, which is that all passages not marked are to be walked through."
The above, taken from my dear Ms. Yupei Lee's great book "Adventures on a Desert Island". I respectfully submit this as the epilogue to this chapter.
We all know that ...... Britain does not know where, there is a hedge type maze, every day there are n more people to visit, every day there are n more people trapped in the inside can not come out, of course, there are memorized the path of the tour guide comrades will go in at regular intervals to "save people"! ...... In the center of the labyrinth, there is an empty space, as the great "Siege" said, the people outside want to go in, the people inside want to come out, but, unfortunately, can not be as desired.
Strangely enough, this maze is scaled down, off the mouse in, placed in that "empty space" (to prevent the mouse comrades cheating, the ceiling added to the space is enough to turn around, but also in the exit of the cheese), the mouse is always able to come out in about two minutes. Scientists puzzled, scientists studied, and finally scientists came to the conclusion, that is, the first law of the maze: in general, as long as the starting point of one hand touching a wall to start, the hand never leave the wall, you can always find the exit of the maze. However, the law has two obvious loopholes ......
The first law of the loophole 1: that one has to follow the corners of the wall of the nature of Mr. Mouse in the labyrinth basically walked all over the maze, but there is a section of the road did not walk ......This section of the road in the labyrinth The image of the path in the maze can be imagined as two walls that are not connected to any wall, like "11" ...... Flaw 1 of the First Law of Mazes: The First Law of Mazes does not guarantee a shortcut.
Flaw 2 of the First Law: for example ...... Those of you who have played Pocket can easily imagine that there is a maze where the entrance is built in the corners of a square and the end is in the middle of the room, and it's a staircase! (So don't presume to walk through a cave maze via the First Law of Mazes if you haven't beaten the Dojo to get the Flash spell) Flaw 2 of the First Law of Mazes: The First Law of Mazes doesn't apply to mazes that end in the center of the maze.
(Incidentally, one of the students also brought up flaw 3 of the first law of mazes: the first law of mazes doesn't apply to mazes where some of the paths will kill you ...... I flew him PIA.)
Flaw number two about the first law of mazes is reminiscent of the standard maze-solving program HRDE for the Waldorf, which solves all the general Waldorf problems and finds the minimum number of steps, however! When mathematicians in the United States of America nowadays occasionally study the problem of moving specific pieces to specific positions (instead of the exit of a standard chessboard, instead of Cao Cao), this program is not applicable. Correspondingly, the first law of mazes does not guarantee that the corresponding programmed robot will always make it to the exit without any problems ...... The same goes for people.
However, the first law of mazes has a clear advantage: even if you can't get to the end, you can't be stuck in the maze and will always return to the starting point.
Studied the first law of the labyrinth defects of the second of a certain scientist ambition, challenge a certain Indian cave labyrinth () ...... is said to contain a certain relics, I doubt that the credibility of this information, because it is not "no one went in the people came out alive"! I'm skeptical about the credibility of this information, because it's not "no one who went in there came out alive." ...... Let's move on. The cave was built in the interior of a mountain, opened four mouths, can be completely abstracted into the square labyrinth described above: touching the wall to move forward will go out from the next mouth, but you can not go to the interior ah? The great scientist invited a group of strong men with torches to open the way, made countless marks along the way, finally reached the innermost part of the labyrinth ...... Whether or not he found the relics is not important, the key thing is that he summarized
The second law of narrow labyrinths:
1. Prioritize new paths;
2. Turn back when you come to a fork in the road you've been on before (except in cases where it contradicts the first rule);
3. Take any given path at most two times (this also applies when there are no new paths on the paths at the fork, but turning back would result in a path being taken three times).
The law has no obvious loopholes, and it is possible to design your own markers to your liking ...... As I recall, you only need to design one kind of marker.
Volume 1 Roark says the same thing we say ...... However, Roark's method falls under the category of Turtle Geometry (in word editing), while this law we are talking about falls under the category of Euclidean Geometry. The obvious flaw of the former is that it results in more forked calculations, and the flaw of the latter is that more wrong turns are taken (resulting in memory confusion ...... objective human brain memory capacity ......)
If the robot is smart enough, it could be considered programmed.
Corollary: by the first law of the narrow maze can be known, as long as you walk through all the paths of the maze will inevitably be able to find the end of the maze; in addition, due to the existence of dead-end paths or errors, any one route may be taken up to two times, and therefore can be obtained (suitable for all the memory of the person ......) generalized labyrinth of the second law: there are paths that have not yet been taken When there exists an untraveled path, the untraveled one is traveled first, and when it does not exist, only the path that has been traveled only once is traveled. --> Consider first those that have been traveled 0 times, then those that have been traveled 1 time, not those that have been traveled 2 times.
The second law of mazes still allows one to go back from where one came.
(At this point, someone said again that the second law of mazes is flawed and doesn't apply to mazes where certain paths will kill you if you walk them ...... Again, I PIA'd him off.)
A final digression, one can imagine mazes in 3D space ignoring the law of gravity, where mathematicians are working on the corresponding corollary to the first law of mazes, so let's see what happens ...... It's good for lazy people, but not for busy people. [Edit Paragraph] Wang Ruolin Labyrinth Wang Ruolin - Labyrinth

Lyrics:
Looking at you looking out of the window look at the reddening of the night
Gently your hand is holding a little tighter again
Would it be right to let you into my world
let's start from here
I don't care where we go
let's start from here
Drink coffee with me. Love is in the air
It's your smile that warms your heart
I don't think I care who you've loved before
let's start from here
It doesn't matter if love is like an empty couch waiting
It's uncertainty to embrace it I like love to be a little more surprising
i don't care where we go
I don't care where we go
i don't care where we are. where we go
let's start from here
let's start from here
love a person how to start ah like the street walks through those people
turn a corner to foresee the good
start from here
don't care Slowly the maze of the future
Turning a circle will be where I like love a little mysterious
It does not matter even if love is like an empty couch waiting
Embracing is not sure I like love a little surprise
i don't care where we go
let's start from here um ...
I don't care where we go
I don't care where we go
I don't care where we go. ...
let's start from here oh...
let's start from here
let's start from here
Let's Start from Here

giving up, why should i
we''ve come to far to forget
we''re Beautiful, we just got lost
somewhere along the way
so much was missing when you went away
let''s start from here, lose the past
Change our minds, we've got a new way of thinking.
change our minds, we don''t need a finish line
let''s take this chance not think too deep
of all those promises we couldn''t seem to keep
i don''t know what to say.
i don''t care where we go
let''s start from here
standing here face to face
a finger on your lips
don''t say a word don''t make a sound
don''t say a word
don''t make a sound
silence surrounds us now
even when you were gone i felt you everywhere
let''s start from here, lose the past
change our minds, we don''t want to be here.
let''s start from here, lose the past
change our minds, we don''t need a finish line
let''s take this chance not think too deep
of all those promises we couldn''t seem to keep
i don''t think I''d like to be a part of this.
i don''t care where we go
let''s start from here
let''s start from here
i''ve never been the one to open up
but you''ve
i''ve never been the one to open up
but you''ve been the voive within
the only warmth from my cold heart
let''s start from here, lose the past
change our minds, we don''t
let''s take this chance not think too deep
of all those promises
let''s start from here, lose the past
Change our minds
let''s start from here, lose the past
we don''t need a finish line
let''s take this chance not think too deep
of all those promises we couldn''t seem to keep
i don''t care where we go
let''s start from here
let''s start from here
let''s start from here
let''s start from here
let''s start from here
