Why did you tamper with Edison's original intention with this "half-exposed" "Spring and Autumn brushwork"? There is only one purpose, that is, to make it "conform" to our education system, because we have always advocated the education of "there is no end to learning", neither recognizing genius nor so-called inspiration, but only recognizing "99% sweat", that is, the kind of person who works hard.
Another well-known "famous saying" is Napoleon's words: "China is a sleeping lion, and once he wakes up, the whole world will tremble for it." The latter part is little known: "It is sleeping, thank God, let it sleep!" " "Let Napoleon" show only half ",presumably to establish the self-confidence of China people.
The above is a spoof of the famous sayings of foreign celebrities. So, will we go easy on our local sages? The answer is no.
"My life is limited and my knowledge is limited!" From Zhuangzi's mouth, according to our consistent understanding, "life is limited and knowledge is infinite (so cherish time, study hard and make progress every day-this sentence is hard to add)." As we all know, Zhuangzi also said: "There is no limit." It is dangerous to pursue infinite knowledge with limited life! ) In the name of "taking its essence and discarding its dross", Zhuangzi's second half sentence was suppressed.
There is also a kind of "only showing half": we have been promoting the story of Gou Jian, the king of Yue, who worked hard, but few people mentioned his "other half under the iceberg": in order to please the king of Wu, he gave him his beloved woman stone; In order to gain trust, he even tried the shit of the king of Wu ... Although he occasionally mentioned this half, it was always understood as humiliation. If we investigate its essence, it is actually unscrupulous and abnormal personality (as can be seen from all kinds of bad performances after Gou Jian's restoration).
Inspired by this abnormal spirit, we have "laid down" countless goujian for more than two thousand years. Tell me a recent little Gou Jian from afar! It is reported that Ping Yu, a 7-year-old girl from Yutang Village, Jinjiang Township, Chongzhou, Sichuan, refused to live in a warm and spacious room, but lived in a stinking, dark and humid pigsty full of pig urine for nearly 14 years. In the senior high school entrance examination this year, she got a high score of 5 19 (out of 600). ...
Similar to "only revealing half" is "out of context", which is the specialty of entertainment writers at present. In the interview, Director Ang Lee mentioned some details of his guidance to Zhang Ziyi when filming Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. As a result, the next day, the media took it out of context and reported on the topic of "Ang Lee mocking Zhang Ziyi for slurring his speech". However, a media interview with Xiaogang Feng about Brokeback Mountain was taken out of context as "explosive news" such as "Xiaogang Feng doesn't like Ang Lee" and "Xiaogang Feng doesn't like Brokeback Mountain". Coupled with "Huang Jianxiang refers to Sun Nan's bad character", "Liu Xiang is proud and looks down on people" and so on, countless "stupid words" were born out of context. ...
"Out of context" comes from Zuo Zhuan's Twenty-eight Years of "xianggong": "Poetry is out of context, and the rest do whatever you want." The interpretation of Modern Chinese Dictionary is: "Without considering the content of the whole article or conversation, we only take the meaning of a paragraph or sentence in isolation according to our own needs." The meaning and purpose of "exposing only half" and "taking it out of context" are the same, but the only difference is the means: the former only exposes the "good" half and covers up the "bad and meaningless" half; The latter shows the "bad and meaningless" half to the public as "enlightenment" and erases the "good" half!
