Pei Songzhi's annotation of the biography of Liu BA in the annals of the Three Kingdoms and the annals of Shu states quoted the biography of Lingling sages as follows: "if your son had gone with the ups and downs of the world at the beginning of his life, and had been pleased with Xuande, he would not have been called a high scholar."

as an ordinary person, after all, we can't escape the traces of the times. All kinds of rebellious or casual encounters are just different colors of the times. In our bones, they are all the same. We can't understand the thoughts of the ancients many years ago. All the beautiful and meaningful poems in the songs of Chu in the book of songs are just the same thoughts with the ancients In the light of various phenomena in our present society, it's just to speculate and describe the state of the world. Is the gentleman and villain in our understanding the gentleman and villain in Confucius' mind? is the Peach Blossom Land in our dream really the Peach Blossom Land in Tao Yuanming's works? Is the history that we know the real history? Maybe all the past is just like the ancient books that disappeared in the burning of books, the sinking of DaXiZhou under the natural disaster, the burning of Alexandria lighthouse. The history that we know is just a glimpse. There are still many obscure and unclear books. How many ancient books that can be handed down may be lost in the sand and how many colorful clothes How many skillful craftsmen disappear like meteors? Do you realize that you have not remonstrated the past? Can we really catch up in the future? Our past may be able to grasp the trace, but the future is really like a dark fog, no trace to follow. The limitations of the times are really fatal words. Rereading the articles of the May 4th movement, we can see the past in vivid memory. How many heroic words, how many left and right (not good words), now we look back, but it's a kind of naive persistence, though It's not that we have made much progress now. However, with the development and changes of the society, it's unreasonable for them to think that things are natural. We will think that the unification of the six states by the first emperor of Qin Dynasty is a great undertaking. Will the people of the six states think so? Now we will think that there is hegemony in the world, there is the cold war, there are historical issues between China and Japan, there is the Taiwan issue, what do we know about the Qing army's entry into GATT, Yangzhou's 10th, Jiading's 3rd massacre? Perhaps thousands of years later, the world will be united and all nations will be unified. Will our national spirit be forgotten by later generations, just as we have abandoned the defense of China and foreign countries today? we are confined to a small space and time, and can't be changed, just like the situation of Aristotle and Confucius, trying to be always correct and unchangeable. We will eventually step down from the altar. Although we are still respected, we can't be believed forever. All we can do is to go with the world, and don't be left behind. Pythagoras' mathematics may only be a success It is estimated that Faraday is not as good as today's graduate students, but they are still great, because in their own era, after all, they are sailing hard within the reach of people's life. therefore, it is inevitable to go with the ups and downs of the world go with the ups and downs of the world, get a firm foothold in the changes of the world, and then drive to the place where you can see. The so-called perfection is just the blooming flowers on the other side, which can never be reached. Our life is just a little closer to her, and then we will have a perfect shadow on us
