In ancient Greek mythology, the labyrinth was designed by Daedalus to imprison the Minotaur. The labyrinth reveals the dual characteristics of the human spirit, complexity and simplicity; mystery and knowability; sensibility and rationality. They symbolize
The eternal philosophical contradiction between free will and real destiny.

The hedge maze covers an area of 88 acres, with 3,200 maple trees planted inside and thousands of square meters of bluestone paths. In the maze, 217 varieties of roses and 6,800 roses are used
The bushes form a hedge fence that is five meters high and three meters wide. Now, we trim the hedges three times a year to keep the curves of the hedges graceful and convey joy and inspiration.
Dear tourist friends, in this most complex maze in the world, you can use your wisdom to your heart's content. If you can't find the exit of the maze, it doesn't matter. Our staff will arrive before the sun goes down every day.
, go to clean the maze and bring out the tourists trapped in the maze.
Dear tourist friends, if you are unfortunately trapped in the maze, please do not panic. You can roam on the tree-lined paths and breathe the fresh air of the countryside. Our staff will definitely take you out of the maze safely.
.In addition, in order to express our apology for trapping you in the maze, we will give you a free dinner after taking you out of the maze.
…
Looking at the notice on the sign at the entrance to the hedge maze, Ye Feng showed a faint smile and reached out to pat Chen Xiaochu on the shoulder. "Xiaochu, do you want us to have a free dinner?"
Chen Xiaochu laughed and said confidently, "Brother Ye, we will definitely get out of the maze."
Chen Xinyi looked at the sign and said with some worry, "Ye Feng, this maze covers an area of more than 80 acres. It's so big, can we get out of it?"
Ye Feng shrugged his shoulders and said jokingly, "Xinyi, don't worry, in the worst case we can have a free dinner in the park."
Chen Xinyi laughed, reached out to hold Ye Feng's arm, and said softly, "I believe in you, you will definitely be able to lead us out of the maze."
Chen Xiaochu curled his lips and said dissatisfiedly, "Sister, I can also take you out of this maze."
Ye Feng laughed loudly, pointed to the entrance of the maze, and said, "Then let's have a competition to see who can get out first."
…
Seeing Ye Feng and the others walking into the hedge maze, Williams hurriedly reported to the pirates. "Boss, Ye Feng walked into the hedge maze."
"Hedge maze." The pirate recalled the park plan that Silva showed him before, and said, "This maze is not small, and it is very quiet inside. Silva, take your team and enter the hedge maze immediately, and put the leaves into the maze."
Watch the wind for me."
The pirate paused for a moment, and then issued an order to the other two groups. "Kuris, Blood Rose, you take your respective groups and rush to the entrance of the hedge maze immediately. We will go in together in a while, and we must make sure this time
Ye Feng died in the maze."
"Yes, boss."
…
Ye Feng took Chen Xinyi and Chen Xiaochu into the hedge maze.
It is late autumn now. When you walk into the maze, the first thing you see is the burning maple forest. From a distance, it looks like a mountain of flames. Walk forward along a path paved with bluestones, and you will be enthusiastic.
The overflowing maple leaves, blown by the breeze, make bursts of cheerful rustling sounds, as if to welcome the arrival of tourists.
Not long after Ye Feng and the others walked along the bluestone path, a three-way intersection appeared in front of them.
The three roads are all exactly the same, with the same wide and narrow bluestone paths and the same hedges on both sides of the road. Chen Xiaochu trotted all the way to look at the three intersections one by one, then ran to Ye Feng and said with a smile, "Brother Ye."
, I plan to take the left path, which way do you and your sister want to take?"
Although Ye Feng and Chen Xiaochu had joked before, saying that they wanted to compete to see who could walk out first. But when he saw Chen Xiaochu eagerly preparing to act alone, Ye Feng grabbed Chen Xiaochu. "Xiaochu, don't walk around, the three of us will go together.
.”
Chen Xinyi nodded and said, "Xiao Chu, you have to listen to Brother Ye and don't run around. Don't let us worry about you."
Chen Xiaochu looked at Chen Xinyi with some frustration, sighed, and said, "Okay, sister, I will listen to you."
Ye Feng laughed, reached out and patted Chen Xiaochu on the head, and said, "Xiaochu, don't be depressed. Let's take the path you just chose, the left path."
Although Chen Xiaochu was still unhappy because Chen Xinyi would not let him move alone, Chen Xiaochu felt much better when he heard that Ye Feng agreed to his plan and chose to take the left path. Chen Xiaochu took Chen Xinyi's arm and walked quickly to
Take the road on the left.
Not far along the road on the left, there was another three-way intersection ahead. Chen Xiaochu frowned, let go of Chen Xinyi's arm, looked back and forth at the three intersections, turned around and looked at Ye Feng and said
, "Brother Ye, there is another three-way intersection here. It is the same as the three-way intersection we encountered before. The three roads are exactly the same. Which road do we choose to take this time?"
Ye Feng looked at his watch and said calmly, "Xiao Chu, if you were given a choice, which way would you choose?"
Chen Xiaochu lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and pointed to the road on the left. "Brother Ye, I will still choose the road on the left. As long as we keep walking along the same side, we will definitely find the exit."
"The method you mentioned is the method of walking through the spiral maze." Ye Feng smiled and continued, "Before we entered the maze, there was a simple floor plan of the maze on the sign at the entrance. According to that plan, we can see that
This maze is not a spiral maze, but a complex of a spiral maze and a rectangular maze. If we follow the method you said, we will definitely go further and further, and eventually we will reach a dead end."
"Spiral maze, rectangular maze." Chen Xinyi raised her pretty face and said in confusion, "Ye Feng, is there any difference between these two mazes?"
"Of course there is a difference, not only in shape, but also in the design concepts of the two. The spiral maze is surrounded by spiral roads, with only one entrance, one road, and one exit. When you
After entering, your goal is to follow the path leading to the center, walk forward, stop, turn around, and then go back out." Ye Feng paused and then said, "The rectangular maze is different.
The paths are complicated, and many of them lead to dead ends. If I'm not mistaken, where we are standing now is still far from the center of the entire hedge maze. If we walk a little further, we will be there.
There will be rectangular roads and spiral roads crisscrossing each other.”
"It's so complicated." After hearing Ye Feng's words, Chen Xinyi couldn't help but take a breath, and a hint of worry appeared on her delicate face.
"Well," Ye Feng nodded and said calmly, "The rectangular maze can make people lose their sense of direction, while the spiral maze has a clear center. The rectangular maze is an analytical problem to be solved; the spiral maze is a moving meditation.
A form of. In a rectangular maze, you can get lost; but in a spiral maze, you can lose yourself."
Hearing Ye Feng's eloquent speech, Chen Xiaochu secretly admired Ye Feng. Chen Xiaochu stuck out his tongue playfully and said with a smile, "Brother Ye, how should we go?"
Ye Feng laughed, reached out and touched Chen Xiaochu's head, and said, "To run the rectangular maze, you need to use your left brain, while the spiral maze needs to release the energy of your right brain. Xiaochu, think more. Ha, I think we
After successfully exiting the hedge maze for the first time, your next math score will definitely be at least 90 points."
Seeing that Ye Feng was so concerned about Chen Xiaochu's studies, Chen Xinyi laughed and said softly, "Xiaochu, then you should follow Brother Ye's words and use your brain more."
Chen Xiaochu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said, "Brother Ye, I remember that on the maze plan at the entrance, the exit of the hedge maze should be in the southeast direction. We entered from the entrance due north. This time, we choose the rightmost path.
Bar."
"It is correct to choose the road on the right, but your direction calculation is not very accurate." Ye Feng shook his head gently and said, "According to the plan on the sign, we can see that the entrance is not due north.
It is 65° north by east, and the exit is 185° south by east.”
This time, Ye Feng not only determined the accurate directions of the entrance and exit based on the simple floor plan on the sign, but also accurately calculated the angle of the directions. Chen Xiaochu was immediately impressed by Ye Feng, and he admired Ye Feng so much that he admired him so much.
. However, Chen Xiaochu still has a little question in his mind. "Brother Ye, how did you calculate it? I remember that when we were at the entrance of the maze, you just glanced at the sign and I didn't see you measuring there.
Directions."
"I took one look and memorized the floor plan in my head, and then I silently calculated the precise directions of the entrance and exit." Ye Feng paused, pointed to the sun in the sky, and said with a smile, "Xiao Chu,
Do you want to learn how to calculate the direction by relying on the sun without a compass?"
"Okay, okay." Chen Xiaochu jumped up excitedly when he heard that Ye Feng was going to teach him how to calculate directions. "Brother Ye, please teach me quickly."
Ye Feng looked around and picked up a small branch from the ground. Ye Feng waved the small branch in front of Chen Xiaochu and said mysteriously, "The method is very complicated, but it is also very simple. Now, I will use
Let this small branch teach you how to calculate the direction."
Chen Xiaochu squatted down, held his breath, and looked at the small branch in Ye Feng's hand with all his attention. Chen Xinyi also came around very curiously. However, as a beautiful woman, Chen Xinyi still paid attention to her image and did not look like
The two grown men squatted on the ground casually. Chen Xinyi walked up to Ye Feng, gently pressed her small hands on Ye Feng's shoulders, bent down slightly in an elegant manner, and looked down at the small branch in Ye Feng's hand.
.
Ye Feng inserted the small branch on the ground, then took off the watch on his wrist and placed the watch horizontally on the ground. Ye Feng moved the position of the watch so that the reflection of the small branch overlapped with the short needle.
Feng raised his head, looked at Chen Xinyi and smiled, then pointed at the watch and said, "The middle position between the twelve o'clock scale on the watch and the scale pointed by the short hand is due south, and the opposite side is due north. Where we are now
The location is 32.5° west by north. True south and true north are a coordinate axis, and we have deviated from the center of the maze. Therefore, we need to take the rightmost path, find true north again, and then go all the way to the center of the maze
Zone. After passing through the spiral and rectangular roads in the center of the maze, then go south-east to find the exit."
"Brother Ye, you are so awesome." Chen Xiaochu sat down on the ground and looked at Ye Feng with admiration.
Ye Feng laughed loudly and stretched out his hand to pull Chen Xiaochu up from the ground. "Xiaochu, let's leave quickly. I will teach you a simpler method later."
"There is a simpler method, brother-in-law, please tell me quickly." Hearing that Ye Feng had a simpler method that he had not taught him, Chen Xiaochu suddenly became interested and shouted "Brother-in-law".
Ye Feng handed the watch to Chen Xiaochu, then put his arms around Chen Xinyi's slender waist, and gently patted Chen Xinyi's pink buttocks. While Chen Xiaochu was looking at the watch, Ye Feng lowered his head and whispered in Chen Xinyi's ear.
Said, "Xinyi, look at how well-behaved Xiaochu is, she even knows how to call her brother-in-law. Oh, are you going to change your words in the future?"
A blush appeared on Chen Xinyi's cheeks, and she said like a mosquito buzzing, "I'll call you that again when I get home. Xiao Chu is still there."
Chen Xiaochu took his watch and walked towards the road on the right. Suddenly he found that Ye Feng was not following him, so he turned around and ran back. "Brother-in-law, please tell me quickly, what is the simpler method."
"You can calculate it with this watch." Ye Feng hugged Chen Xinyi and took Chen Xiaochu into the road on the right. "Xiaochu, divide the current time by 2, and then find the quotient on the dial.
Corresponding position, then point this position towards the sun, and the direction pointed by the 12 o'clock scale on the dial is true north."
"Yeah, so that's it." Chen Xiaochu jumped up and ran forward, holding his watch and gesturing towards the sun. "Brother-in-law, it's 11 o'clock in the morning, divided by 2, the quotient is 55. Hehe
, I found true north."
Ye Feng looked at the cheerful Chen Xiaochu with a faint smile on his face. "Xiaochu, you have to remember that if it is in the afternoon, it should be calculated according to the 24-hour clock method. For example, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, you should press 14
Points to calculate.”
"Hehe, I know everything. Brother-in-law, you are awesome, so amazing." Chen Xiaochu said.
Ye Feng stretched out his big hand, patted Chen Xinyi's pink butt hard, and said with a smile, "Xinyi, do you think I'm great or awesome?"
Listening to Ye Feng's double entendre and the ambiguous smile on Ye Feng's face, Chen Xinyi's face turned red with embarrassment. Chen Xinyi raised her pretty face and looked at Ye Feng as she pursed her pink lips in dissatisfaction.
Her delicate body slowly nestled in Ye Feng's arms. Looking at the charming beauty in his arms, Ye Feng couldn't help lowering his head and kissed Chen Xinyi on the cheek.
Ye Feng slowly raised his head and looked at the road behind him as if nothing had happened, muttering secretly in his heart.
"I've been waiting for you here for a long time. I hope you won't disappoint me."
