Voltaire once pointed out that ancient Chinese philosophers discovered the laws of nature through the study of rites and music. He believed that the ritual and music system was an important part of ancient Chinese philosophy, which coordinated people's lives and social relations by constructing a complex set of rituals and rules, and also reflected the relationship between man and nature. In ancient Chinese philosophy, this kind of relationship was called "the connection between heaven and earth", and the ritual and music system was a form that played a role in this relationship. Therefore, Voltaire believed that ancient Chinese philosophers found the laws of nature through the study of rites and music and applied them to philosophy and science.

Voltaire was a French philosopher, mathematician, physicist, and writer known as the "genius of the Renaissance." His ideas involved many fields, including religion, politics, science, art, and morality. Many of his ideas and theories had a profound impact on the later world, such as his view that "God does not exist", his research on mathematics and logic, his views on religion, and so on. Voltaire's famous saying,"Knowledge is not the guarantee of truth, but the criticism of truth"(Cogito ergo sum: I think therefore I am) also became the motto of many scholars and philosophers. This meant that people could gain knowledge through thinking rather than just believing in themselves because of some belief or authority. I hope my answer will be helpful to you!

Voltaire's saying that " the whole of nature and all the planets will be subject to eternal motion " was a classic saying in physics. It expressed that motion was one of the essential attributes of the universe. There was no eternal static state. This sentence was first proposed by the French philosopher Jean-Jacques Russell in "On the Origins and Foundation of Human Inequality." Later, it was reflected in more detail in the science fiction novel "Blade Runner 2049" by the physicist Michael Schumacher. In the novel, the clone partner of the Blade Runner, Rex Decard, once quoted this sentence to express his deep thoughts on life and the universe. This sentence also caused people to think more about life and the universe, including the meaning of human existence and our relationship with the universe.
Voltaire once wrote," If all of nature and all of the planets were subject to eternal laws, a small animal five feet tall might choose to give up its life because it could not understand these laws." This sentence meant that although nature and planets obey eternal laws, each individual has his own experience and level of cognition. Some things may be difficult for some people to understand. In this case, the little animal might choose to give up its life because it can't understand these rules. This sentence also reflected the respect humans had for their own insignificance and the laws of nature.
The first book in China to record the "rites" was the Rites of Zhou.
The laws of heaven and earth in novels may vary from novel to novel, but generally speaking, they may include the following elements: 1. The law of causality: In many novels, the law of causality is a law of heaven and earth that determines the fate and experience of people. It might involve karma, guilt, guilt, redemption, and so on. 2. Fate: In many novels, fate is a law of heaven and earth that determines people's lives and experiences. It might involve turning points, Fate Wheels, Fate Talismans, and so on. 3. Contract: In many novels, a contract is a kind of law that determines people's behavior and fate. It might involve soul contracts, fate contracts, soul contracts, and so on. Attraction and repulsion: In many novels, attraction and repulsion are a kind of natural law that determines people's attraction and repulsion. It might involve fate, the law of attraction, the law of repulsion, and so on. 5. Conservation of Energy: In many novels, conservation of energy is a law of nature that determines the total amount of energy in the universe is constant. It might involve magic, energy fields, energy conversion, and so on. These laws of nature may exist in many novels, but not all novels describe them in detail.
This quote comes from Voltaire's De la crème de la nature', which reads: 'If all nature, all planets must obey eternal laws, one small creature five feet high may not understand this.' This means that although nature and the entire universe follow eternal laws, even a small creature, such as a five-foot-tall animal, may have its own way of thinking and behavior. They may not understand or follow these laws because their life experience and way of thinking are different from humans. This sentence could also be interpreted as that although the universe and nature had unchangeable laws, the existence and behavior of living individuals were flexible. They could change and explore the world through their own experiences and thoughts.

Voltaire thought," If all the planets in nature have to obey the eternal law, and there is a small animal five feet tall that can not obey this law, then it must be an extraordinary creature."
Voltaire believed that all nature and planets obeyed eternal laws, but not everyone could feel or understand these laws. In contrast, a five-foot-tall animal might only need a few centimeters to break these rules, because it only needs to do the right thing at the right time and place to survive. This flexibility was a common characteristic of nature and human beings, and it was also the source of human beings 'ability to explore and discover new knowledge.
