Benjamin Franklin (1706.1.17-1790.4.17) was an American industrialist, scientist, social activist, thinker, writer and diplomat in the 18th century. He was the first scientist and inventor in American history to enjoy an international reputation. In order to explore electricity, the famous "kite experiment" was conducted, which made remarkable achievements in electricity. In order to deeply explore the laws of electric movement, many special terms such as positive electricity, negative electricity, conductor, battery, charge, discharge, etc. were created. A universal vocabulary. He borrowed the concepts of positive and negative from mathematics and was the first to scientifically use the concepts of positive and negative electricity to express the nature of charge. He also put forward the idea that electric charge cannot be created or destroyed. On this basis, later generations discovered the law of conservation of electric charge. He was the first to put forward the idea of ??lightning rods. The lightning rods he created avoided lightning disasters and broke superstition. He was an excellent statesman and a veteran of the American Revolutionary War. He participated in drafting the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, actively advocated the abolition of slavery, and was deeply respected by the American people. He is the first French ambassador to the United States, so he also enjoys a high reputation in the world.
[Edit this paragraph] 2. Life
He was born in a humble family. He dropped out of school at the age of 10 and went home to work. At the age of 12, he worked as an apprentice and helper in a printing house. But he was studious and studious. In addition to mastering printing technology, he also read extensively works on literature, history, and philosophy, taught himself mathematics and four foreign languages, and devoted himself to practicing writing. After finishing a day's work, he often went to the printing factory to collect books. He read a variety of books in his room. Sometimes he was fascinated by them. He didn't go home until night fell and his anxious mother came to the factory to find him. All of this laid a solid foundation for him to achieve many achievements in his life. In order to stand on his own in the society at that time, he went through many twists and turns and founded his own business - a printing house. Due to his hard work, credibility and attention to management, he not only stood firm in the fierce competition in the printing industry, but also expanded his business to several neighboring states and the West Indies, becoming a leader in the printing and publishing industry in North America. He pays attention to observing natural phenomena and studying scientific issues. Starting from practice, he engaged in scientific experiments and observations, and answered the question of "what is electricity" in electricity. He called electricity in different states "positive electricity" and "negative electricity" and proposed the "first-flow theory" in electricity. , which revealed the essence of thunder and lightning phenomena in terms of atmospheric electricity, and was known as the "Second Prometheus". These epoch-making research results in electricity made him a world-famous first-class scientist. He also conducted research in optics, heat, acoustics, mathematics, oceanography, botany, etc., and had new stoves, lightning rods, electric wheels, three-wheeled clocks, bifocal glasses, automatic barbecue machines, glass instruments, overhead book takers, A series of inventions and creations such as new street lamps. Therefore, with only two years of elementary school education, he was awarded a master's degree or doctorate by six or seven universities, including Harvard University and Yale University in the United States, and Oxford University, Edinburgh University, and St. Andrew's University in the United Kingdom. After Franklin became famous, he did a lot of work in the cultural dissemination and social welfare of the North American colonies. He has successively organized and established academic, cultural, medical and health organizations such as "*** Reading Club", "American Philosophical Society", "North American Association for the Advancement of Science", newspapers, libraries, bookstores, hospitals, universities, fire brigade, local militia organizations, etc. , firefighting, and security organizations and institutions; he also reformed the postal system of the North American colonies and established a unified postal system for the North American colonies. He was an outstanding social activist and became an influential figure in the North American colonies. He is not only good at solving specialized problems in natural sciences and practical problems in social and political activities, but also often explores many philosophical and social issues. He is a deist and believes that the spirit is attached to matter; he believes that the cause of social poverty is that workers must feed parasites; he loves freedom and peace, opposes war, hates racial discrimination and slavery, and advocates safeguarding the interests of blacks and Indians. ． He was one of the most profound bourgeois liberal thinkers of his time. Franklin lived during a period when the United States was transitioning from a colony to an independent bourgeois country. He actively participated in the revolutionary movement and made significant contributions to the victory of the War of Independence and the initial construction of the American national system. At the Albany Conference in 1754 attended by leaders of the North American colonies, he proposed the famous "Albany Union" plan, which was adopted by the conference. He became the first person to instill the idea of ??a great union of the United States into the minds of the colonial people. In Pennsylvania, he always worked with the colonial people to fight against the lawlessness of the owner group. In 1757, he went to London on behalf of the state parliament to petition the King of England, asking the owners to pay taxes, and succeeded. In 1764, he went to London for the second time, asking the King to protect the interests of the colony, but to no avail. Afterwards, the British government intensified its suppression of the North American colonies, inspiring a stronger resistance struggle among the colonial people. Franklin's position completely shifted to the revolutionary side. Pennsylvania was originally a proprietor's colony, land granted to William Bean by King Charles II of England in 1681. Later, William Bean's two sons inherited the property. The owners enjoyed the privileges of appointing officials including the governor, vetoing parliamentary bills, and being exempted from paying taxes in the colonies they owned. In May 1775, he returned to America and immediately devoted himself to the revolutionary struggle. He served as chairman of the Pennsylvania Peace Committee, presided over the local military committee, and drafted the state constitution with President Paine; he attended the Second Continental Congress as a Pennsylvania representative and became one of the drafters of the American Declaration of Independence; he served as the United States Postmaster General , organized the postal service during the war, and achieved remarkable results; when the U.S. military suffered repeated setbacks in combat, he discussed with Washington as a member of the three-person committee and decided to implement the general administration of 13 North American states.
Mobilization enabled the War of Independence to persist for 6 years. In a situation where Britain was strong and the United States was weak, the colonial people had to seek foreign aid. Franklin was ordered by the Continental Congress to send an envoy to France to win an alliance between the United States and France and to fight against the British. In the complicated diplomatic environment at that time that was not conducive to the United States, he used his belief that the United States would win, his perseverance and patience, and his clever and flexible diplomatic skills to take advantage of the conflicts among European countries and seize the favorable opportunity to form an alliance between the United States and France. The alliance secured a large amount of foreign aid in manpower, material and financial resources, ensuring the victory of the War of Independence. In the late war, he participated in and once presided over the peace negotiations between the United States and Britain, signed a peace treaty between the United States and Britain that was beneficial to the United States, and successfully completed the arduous wartime diplomatic mission. After the war, he became the first ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of the new United States to France and stayed in France until returning to France in 1785. After returning to China, he was elected governor of Pennsylvania for four consecutive years. At the U.S. Constitutional Convention, he was a member of the Constitution Drafting Committee. In order to mediate the differences of opinions among the representatives at the convention, he proposed the bicameral system of Congress, which became one of the basic national systems of the United States. After 1788, he no longer held public office, but he still published political articles for the government to choose and devoted himself to promoting the abolition of slavery. Franklin passed away on April 17, 1790. On the day of his funeral, as many as 20,000 people attended his funeral, which fully expressed the American people's mourning for him. At the same time, not only did the U.S. Congress decide to mourn for him for a month, but the French National Assembly also decided to mourn for him, showing that he not only belonged to the United States, but also to the whole world!
[Edit this paragraph] 3. Capture thunder and lightning
In 1746, a British scholar performed electrical experiments in Boston using glass tubes and Leyden jars. Franklin watched his performance with great interest and was strongly attracted by the emerging science of electricity. Franklin then began to study electricity. Franklin did a lot of experiments at home, studying the properties of two kinds of electric charges, explaining the source of electricity and the phenomena that exist in matter. Before the eighteenth century, people could not correctly understand what thunder and lightning was. People at that time generally believed that thunder and lightning were the result of God's anger. Some knowledgeable people who do not believe in God have tried to explain the cause of thunder and lightning, but have never been successful. The more popular view in academic circles is that thunder and lightning are "gas explosions." During an experiment, Franklin's wife Reed accidentally touched a Leyden jar, and a ball of electric fire flashed. Reed was hit and fell to the ground, her face pale, and she lay at home for a full week before she recovered. Although this was an accident during the experiment, Franklin, who was quick-thinking, thought of thunder and lightning in the sky. After repeated thinking, he concluded that lightning is also a discharge phenomenon, which is essentially the same as the electricity generated in the laboratory. So he wrote a paper called "On the Sameness of Sky Lightning and Our Electricity" and sent it to the Royal Society. But Franklin's great idea was ridiculed by many people, and some even derided him as "a madman who wants to separate God from thunder and lightning." Franklin was determined to prove everything with facts. One day in June 1752, there were heavy clouds, thunder and lightning, and a storm was coming. Franklin and his son William took the kite with a metal pole to an open area. Franklin held the kite high, and his son flew away pulling the string. Due to the strong wind, the kite was quickly launched into the sky. In an instant, there was thunder and lightning, and heavy rain poured down. Franklin and his son pulled the kite string together. The father and son were anxiously looking forward to it. At this time, a bolt of lightning happened to pass over the kite. Franklin approached the wire on the kite with his hand, and immediately felt a terrifying numbness. Unable to suppress his excitement, he shouted loudly: "William, I was shocked!" Then he introduced the electricity from the kite string into the Leyden bottle. After returning home, Franklin conducted various electrical experiments using lightning and proved that the lightning in the sky had exactly the same properties as the electricity produced by artificial friction. Franklin's hypothesis that electricity in the sky and on earth are the same thing was brilliantly confirmed in his own experiment. The success of the kite experiment made Franklin famous in the scientific community around the world. The Royal Society sent him a gold medal and hired him as a member of the Royal Society. His scientific works have also been translated into many languages. His electrical research achieved initial success. However, in the face of honor and victory, Franklin did not stop further research on electricity. In 1753, the famous Russian electrician Lichman was unfortunately struck to death by lightning while trying to verify Franklin's experiment. He was the first victim of an electrical experiment.
The price of blood has made many people wary and fearful of lightning experiments. But Franklin did not flinch in the face of the threat of death. After many experiments, he made a practical lightning rod. He fixed an iron pole several meters long to the roof with insulating material. A thick wire was tied tightly to the pole and led to the ground. When lightning strikes a house, it travels along the metal poles and wires directly to the earth, leaving the house intact. In 1754, the lightning rod began to be used, but some people thought it was an ominous thing and would bring drought if it went against God's will. He secretly removed the lightning rod at night. However, science will finally triumph over ignorance. After a strong wind carrying thunder and lightning, the cathedral caught fire; but the high-rise buildings equipped with lightning rods were safe. Facts educate people and make them believe in science. Lightning rods were successively spread to the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and finally spread all over the world. Franklin's contribution to science was not only in electrostatics, but his research range was extremely wide. In mathematics, he created the eight-fold and sixteen-fold magic squares. These two magic squares have special properties and complex changes, and are still praised by scholars. In thermal science, he improved the heating stove, which can save three-quarters of the cost. Fuel, known as the "Franklin Furnace"; in terms of optics, he invented bifocal glasses for the elderly, which can see things near and far away clearly. He and Dr. Hartley of Cambridge University jointly used the evaporation of ether to obtain a low temperature of minus 25 degrees (Celsius), creating the theory of evaporative refrigeration. In addition, he has conducted research on meteorology, geology, acoustics and ocean navigation, and has made many achievements.
[Edit this paragraph] 4. Outstanding social activist
Franklin is not only an excellent scientist, but also an outstanding social activist. He spent a lot of time in his life engaged in social activities. Franklin paid special attention to education. He established libraries, organized and founded multiple associations in order to improve the cultural quality of people from all walks of life. Just as he was making new achievements in scientific research, due to the brutal rule of the British colonists, the national liberation movement in the North American colonies was growing. From 1757 to 1775, he negotiated with Britain several times as a representative of the North American colonies. After the outbreak of the Revolutionary War, he participated in the drafting of the Second Continental Congress and the Declaration of Independence. In 1776, Franklin, who was already seventy years old, traveled across the ocean as an envoy to France and won the support of the French and European people for the North American War of Independence. In 1787, he actively participated in the formulation of the United States Constitution and organized a movement against the enslavement of black people.
Franklin said: "We have enjoyed great benefits from the inventions of our predecessors, and we should also be happy to have the opportunity to serve others with any of our inventions, and we should do this voluntarily And do it generously."
[Edit this paragraph] 5. The Fall of a Star
Franklin spent his last winter surrounded by his relatives. On April 17, 1790, at 11 o'clock at night, Franklin suddenly passed away. At that time, his grandsons Temple and Benjamin were with him. On April 21, the people of Philadelphia held a funeral for him. More than 20,000 people participated in the funeral procession and mourned for Franklin's death for a month to express condolences. Benjamin. In this way, Franklin completed the 84 years of his life and lay quietly in the tomb in the church yard. The first tombstone was erected when Franklin died. The inscription read: Benjamin Franklin, the printer. The second tombstone was written by the masses. The inscription he erected after him is: Get lightning from the sky and get civil rights from the tyrant. The two sentences of the inscription summarize the two glorious causes in his life.
[Edit this paragraph] 6. Moral Principles
Benjamin’s life’s successful experience was by no means achieved by people’s rhetoric to gain such high visibility and popular voice. His great contribution, It has long been recorded in the annals of history, engraved on the immortal stone tablets of the times, setting an example for future generations, and giving them the motivation and lofty goals to move forward! So, how did Benjamin hone himself? What does the "13-point plan for honest living" that people often say specifically refer to?

[Edit this paragraph] 2. John Franklin
John Franklin (1787~1847). A legendary figure in British history.
He was born in 1787 and joined the army at the age of 14, starting the most arduous naval career in John Franklin's life. In 1843, the Royal Admiralty prepared to send people to continue exploring the Northwest Passage in order to open a northern route to connect the Atlantic and Indian Oceans and shorten the voyage between Britain and India. As a result, Franklin, who had been governor of Tasmania, Australia for six years, was recalled to the country. After less than two years of preparation, an exploration expedition team consisting of the "Elebus" and "Trol" equipped with advanced icebreaking equipment and huge steam power was established. To prepare for the unexpected, the fleet has stored enough food for three years and also carried 10 beef cattle as emergency food. On May 26, 1845, the 58-year-old Franklin commanded this expedition fleet composed of Royal Navy elites. They sailed out of the Thames Estuary, passed through the west coast of Greenland, and soon arrived at Bering Island. On July 26, the fleet encountered a British whaler in the waters of Baffin Bay. According to the traditional custom in the international navigation community, Franklin handed the expedition logbook to the captain of the whaling ship and he presented it to the Royal Navy on his behalf. Unexpectedly, the fleet mysteriously disappeared after that. By 1848, more than two years after Franklin left Britain, the Royal Navy had not received any definite information about the expedition and decided to send rescuers to search and rescue by sea and land. But it wasn't until 1858 that the truth about the fate of Franklin's expedition became known. It turned out that the Franklin expedition arrived in Baffin Bay at the end of July 1845. Because sea ice blocked the way, they set up camp on a small island southwest of Devon Island for the winter. The following summer, the two ships of the expedition sailed along the Peel Strait to King William Island and were trapped by ice floes, unable to move. At this time, they found that some canned food began to spoil, which made them very uneasy. On June 11, 1847, Sir Franklin unfortunately passed away. After August, the ship was still frozen in ice, and people had to spend the second winter on the ice. Due to lack of food, scurvy developed and some people began to die. In order to survive, as soon as spring arrived, 105 of them (originally 138 people) boarded a small boat filled with food and began a desperate breakout. Arriving at Cape Felix, feeling hopeless, they packed the documents in cans. The famous Franklin and the expedition team he led passed away miserably. According to on-site investigations, there were many discarded items along the way between Cape Felix and the mouth of the Big Fish River, and corpses abounded. No one was spared. It took 14 years to finally solve the mystery of what happened to the expedition led by Sir John Franklin in 1845 to find the Northwest Passage.
Franklin, a 59-year-old British major general and experienced Arctic explorer, led two ships and 120 people on a voyage in May 1845. His two ships, the Elebus and Troll, were equipped with new steam engines and propellers, and were loaded with supplies for three years.
Franklin's ship was sighted in Baffin Bay two months later, but nothing was heard from since. In the years after their disappearance, 40 expeditions, including one led by Sir John Ross, set out to find them. But the mystery was not solved until 1859.
A naval expedition led by Leopold McClintock discovered several skeletons and parts of the voyage diary after penetrating into Cape Felix, King William Island in the Arctic Circle. It turns out that two of Franklin's ships got stuck in the ice in September 1845. Unable to escape the following summer, they had to spend another winter on the ship. Franklin died in June 1847.
Finally, the remaining members of the expedition returned overland, laden with supplies. This is a fatal decision. Cold, disease and hunger struck them. A trail of corpses and relics stretching for kilometers across the frozen wilderness has finally been discovered.
Despite this tragic ending, Franklin's expedition and later rescue missions provided a wealth of valuable information about the area. In 1906, Roald Amundsen finally crossed the Northwest Passage. Franklin also had a share of credit for the discovery of the Northwest Passage.
Right: The British government offers a large reward to anyone who can rescue Franklin or find anyone involved in his ship.
Some people believe that one of the causes of death of the personnel led by Franklin, and possibly Frank himself, was food poisoning. Among the supplies for this voyage were large quantities of canned beef.
There is a theory that this canned product is substandard and the beef has gone bad.
