Legend of Jiujiu Song:

According to legend, a long time ago, from "998 1" to "224", there were 36 sentences. "Because the first two words are" 999 ",people call this multiplication formula" 999 Song ".

It is said that in the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi Huangong, a generation of wise men, set up a "recruiting list" to recruit talents. But the "recruitment list" has been posted for a long time and no one has come to get it. Finally, one day, a scholar-like man came. Qi Huangong was very happy when he heard that someone had applied. Hurriedly personally stepped out of the door of the humanitarian recruiting hall to meet.

Unexpectedly, without saying a word, the bearer turned and said in a clear voice, "9981, 9872, ... two plus two equals four." After reading it, he bowed deeply to Qi Huangong and said, "Your Majesty, I smiled."

Hearing this, Qi Huangong and his men all laughed. Qi Huangong asked, "Is it strange to recite nine or nine watches?" ? Does this mean that you are very talented? "

The bearer replied solemnly, "Your Majesty, people who know how to recite 999 songs are not real talents. But if your majesty can treat me with courtesy, who can only recite nine songs, won't talented people in the world worry about coming to you? "

Qi Huangong listened and said, "Yes, then Mr. Wang is the first sage I recruited." Since then, sages have come to Qi Huangong. The gas is getting stronger and stronger.

This story conveys a very important message to us, that is, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Jiujiu Song was invented. According to this calculation, the predecessor of multiplication formula-"Jiujiuge" has a history of more than 2600 years.
