Four hundred and thirtieth chapters Du He four sentences
Is it possible to spend so much money just to play with it?
Everyone was talking a lot, but they were all very curious. Many people even slandered Du He as a prodigal, spending 50,000 yuan to make such a useless thing?
Even a group of civil and military ministers in the court were puzzled.
"Yeah, this is completely useless!"
"If it's useless, why spend so much money?"
"I'm afraid you're not crazy!"
After everyone finished the discussion, Du He stood up and said: "Everyone, for thousands of years, our knowledge has fallen into the same thinking trap as everyone else. All our knowledge has a purpose. Studying is to become an official.
Waterwheels were invented for irrigation, and iron tools were invented for war... But useless things, even if they appeared for thousands of years, were completely abandoned. The same is true for today's friction generators. In everyone's opinion, this is just a
Useless gadgets are not worth spending 50,000 yuan to build... But starting from today, since you have come to Banshan Academy, you must completely abandon such shallow thoughts. There is a lot of knowledge in the world, which seems useless, but in fact
It is of great use, but what seems useless to us is just because we are still too backward and do not understand its function."
Seeing everyone's confused expressions, Du Hecai said: "It's the first thing in school. The first thing you need to understand is that useless things can be of great use."
The use of useless things is of great use!
Du He's few words shocked everyone immediately.
Many people suddenly looked stunned.
Since childhood, everyone has had a firm thinking habit, that is, useless things should be discarded.
But Du He completely subverted everyone's perception.
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but ask: "Du He, according to what you said, your generator is of great use?"
"certainly."
"But, after I thought about it for a long time, this thing has no other use than letting people touch it!" Changsun Wuji stroked his beard and asked in annoyance.
Du He laughed: "That's a good question, Master Changsun. I have just said that many things that we think are useless are actually of great use. This friction generator is developed based on the lightning phenomenon between heaven and earth. It has
This thing, from now on, we can master the secret of thunder and lightning. Master Changsun, do you know that standing under a big tree on a rainy day can easily be struck by lightning? Do you know that the tallest pagoda in Chang'an City is struck by lightning several times every year? Do you know that lightning strikes
Why does it only happen in the summer? Did you know that buildings struck by lightning can catch fire?"
Du He asked four questions at once.
Changsun Wuji suddenly looked confused.
Isn't this all common sense?
But really want to say why?
No one knows.
No one has ever thought about it.
Everyone present was asked.
No one can answer it.
Du He smiled slightly and said confidently: "All of this can be answered from our research on friction generators. The principle is actually very simple. On thunderstorm days, the black clouds in the sky are huge generators, bringing
It contains a lot of electricity. When black clouds with different charges meet, they will discharge, just like two big sulfur balls that are close to each other will produce electric light. When the black clouds are close to the ground, those tall ones will
The number and tall buildings are like our hands. Because they are closest to the black clouds, they will be struck by lightning..."
After Du He finished speaking, everyone in the audience was stunned.
Everyone looked at him in surprise.
Du He was a little embarrassed: "Ahem...I'm sorry, I sounded a bit professional."
Wow.
The crowd began to applaud.
We don't understand what you're saying, but you sound awesome.
Everyone risked their own applause.
The applause was thunderous and it took a long time to stop.
Then, Du He straightened his clothes and said loudly: "Now, there is another ultimate question, that is, everyone here, why are you studying?"
Su Han replied: "Change the fate of poverty!"
Someone replied: "Become a high official!"
"Become a noble!"
"..."
Many people expressed their thoughts one after another.
But Du He shook his head and said: "If you study hard and study hard all your life just to be an official, what will happen after you become an official? If you just want to change your destiny, what will happen when you really succeed? Without a goal, isn't it?
He became a walking zombie? Think about it again."
Everyone fell into deep thought.
What is the purpose of studying?
Everyone here is a scholar, and it seems that no one has ever thought about this problem.
No wonder Du He said this is the ultimate question.
What is the goal of a scholar in this life?
Even Li Er and others fell into deep thought.
However, no one can think of the answer.
Su Han and others stood up in a hurry, bowed and said: "Dean, we are stupid, please give us some advice."
Du He glanced at the audience and said loudly: "From the moment you step into Banshan College, this dean will set an ultimate goal for your life, which is to establish your heart for heaven and earth in four simple sentences.
Establish a destiny for the people, carry on the unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations!"
Be dedicated to heaven and earth!
Make a living for the people!
Continuing the unique learning for the Holy Spirit!
Create peace for all eternity!
This is the famous "Four Hengqu Sentences" proposed by Zhang Zai, a famous thinker in the Song Dynasty, but now it has been shamelessly used by Du He.
There were nearly three thousand people in the audience. Except for those children in the elementary school who were not familiar with the world, everyone else was lost in thought.
"good!"
Suddenly, someone burst into cheers.
Wow.
Applause rang out again.
Amid thunderous applause, Du He picked up his folding fan, turned around, and strode away from the podium. The applause did not stop until he walked out of the auditorium.
These four short sentences are engraved in everyone's mind.
This is the ideal of a scholar.
In the first row of seats, Chen Shuda smacked his lips and said to Li Er: "Your Majesty, Du He is unfaithful."
Li Er frowned and asked, "How do you say this?"
Chen Shuda said: "Your Majesty, Du He said that he should establish his mind for the heaven and the earth, establish his destiny for the people, inherit his unique knowledge for the past saints, and create peace for all generations. However, he did not say that he would be loyal to your majesty."
Chen Shuda originally thought that by catching Du He's braid, he could ask Li Er to teach Du He a lesson.
Unexpectedly, Li Eryi slapped the table and cursed: "It's nonsense, Du He said it. This is the ultimate goal of scholars. Being able to achieve this is already a saint, which is more than being loyal to the emperor... Throughout the ages,
How many people can do it? I... don't even dare to say that I can do it... Du He, very good, at such a young age, he has already seen such a long-term view. If he hadn't been so young, I'm afraid he could have become my Datang
All the Confucian people."
Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, Du He is actually a miscellaneous scholar. He is neither Confucianism nor Taoism. He is also the head of the Huguo Temple. He makes some inventions every day. It seems that he cannot become a Confucian master."
