Zu Chongzhi. Zu Chongzhi was an outstanding scientist in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. He studies ancient works, but he never blindly follows the ancients. He thinks independently, dares to doubt and ask questions boldly. Therefore, while learning from his predecessors, he surpassed them and reached the peak of science at that time.

Zu Chongzhi has made great contributions in the academic field. Mathematically, he calculated pi to the seventh place after the decimal point, which not only far surpassed the ancients in China, but also achieved the same result about 1000 years earlier than European scientists.

Introduction:

Independent thinking is the combination of thinking and independence. Everyone needs "independent thinking" before acquiring knowledge. The two major uses of independent thinking are "self-cognitive iteration" and "solving external problems", both of which are rational thinking.

Independent thinking means seeking truth from facts and proceeding from reality. "Everything should ask a reason, think about whether it is realistic and reasonable. We should never blindly follow and should never advocate slavery. " "Independence" here means doing it by yourself, not following blindly like a caterpillar.
