Notes on reading The Analects of Confucius;
/blog/u/yuand/archives/2007/300 . html
Confucius did not object to his students seeking official positions. The Analects of Confucius also has the concepts of "applying what you have learned" and "learning excellence for officials". Confucius has always advocated actively joining the WTO and participating in the discussion of state affairs, and even expressed the idea of "doing what you know you can't do" in the article Mr. Diao. The learning advocated by Confucius and Confucianism is "self-cultivation, keeping the family in order, governing the country and leveling the world".
Zhang Zi asked the teacher how to be an official and how to get paid. If analyzed with modern concepts, from a shallow point of view, it is to ask the teacher how to get a good job; If you think deeply, it is how to promote and make a fortune. Of course, how to distribute and use the wealth after promotion is another story. "If an official doesn't make decisions for the people, it's better to go home and grow sweet potatoes ..."
Confucius taught his students to listen more, see more, experience more, speak with caution, act with caution and have reservations. As the saying goes, "listening is dark, while believing is bright." "Don't say one more word easily, just take one more step." (Of course, this is different from Lin Daiyu's life perception in Under the Fence. Whether in the workplace or officialdom, don't say what you shouldn't say, don't pass on what you shouldn't, and keep asking others if you don't understand. Don't brag if you don't know or only know a general idea. If not, it will be even more delayed.
Think of two fables: frogs croak there from morning till night, which is not only useless but also annoying; The cock crows only once a day in the early morning, but it is greatly praised. Therefore, there is no need to ask for more, as long as it is just right, useful and valuable. There is also a story about cows and hens. Every time a hen lays an egg, she cackles ... cackles constantly, proclaims her merits everywhere and asks her master for food. Cows, on the other hand, eat grass. The milk squeezed out every day far exceeds the value of eggs, but cows are always unknown and never boast for themselves. We should be a little bullish. Hard-working people will not be forgotten forever, but a little achievement will be blown away by everyone. At the beginning, we can really get a lot of praise and admiration, but after listening to it more, we will be very tired and annoyed, because people are always smart animals and have great judgment. Isn't it? What people finally praise is the fighting spirit of cattle, true talent and practical learning.
Reply: Notes on Two Wan Li under the Sea.
The author's surprise lies not only in his exaggerated, touching and scientific novels, but also in the stories he wrote in the book. Although this is not surprising today in the 2 1 century, in Verne's era, people have not invented submarines that can swim underwater, and even electric lights have not appeared. In this context, Verne successfully shaped the submarine Nautilus in Two Wan Li under the Sea, and 25 years after the novel was published. The artificial real submarine is similar to that described in the novel. What kind of foresight is this? Therefore, the fantasy in Verne's works has scientific basis. The scientific fantasy depicted in many of his works has come true today. More importantly, the fantasy in his works is bold and novel, and it is interesting to read with its vivid, vivid and picturesque beauty. His works have thrilling plots, vivid characters and unexpected endings. All these make his works have eternal charm.
Written in 1870, Two Wan Li under the Sea is the second part of Verne's famous trilogy. The first part is Captain Grant's children, and the third part is Mystery Island. This work tells the story of Pierre Aronnax, a French biologist, traveling in the depths of the ocean. This happened in 1866, and a monster thought to be a narwhal was found at sea. He accepted the invitation to join the chase, unfortunately fell into the water during the chase and swam on the monster's back. In fact, this monster is not a narwhal, but a diving boat with wonderful structure. This diving boat was secretly built by Captain Nemo on a desert island in the middle of the ocean. It has a solid hull and uses the ocean to generate electricity. Captain Nemo invited Pierre Aronnax to travel to the bottom of the sea. They set out from the Pacific Ocean, passed through coral islands, the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, and entered the Atlantic Ocean. They saw many rare marine animals and plants and strange scenes in the water, and experienced many dangers such as stranding, being besieged by indigenous people, fighting with sharks, icebergs blocking roads, octopus attacks and so on. Finally, when the diving boat arrived at the Norwegian coast, Pierre Aronnax left without saying goodbye and announced to the world what he knew about the seabed. Captain Nemo, the hero of the book, is a romantic, mysterious and charming figure. Nemo built a diving boat according to his own design, snorkeling on the seabed for large-scale scientific research, but it seems that this is not the only purpose of his lonely life. He avoided enemies and persecutors, sought freedom at the bottom of the sea, and felt deep sorrow for his lonely life. It was not until the third part of the trilogy that the mystery of this mysterious figure was unveiled. This collection contains all the features of Verne's science fiction. The twists and turns, the tense and confusing storyline, the ever-changing fate of the characters, the rich and detailed scientific knowledge, and the wonderful fantasy with vivid details are all a furnace. The author's originality and ingenious layout sometimes push readers into a dangerous environment, and sometimes bring them into a beautiful realm full of poetry and painting. Magnificent scene description and detailed detail description appear alternately. It's fascinating to read, and you can't stop.
In this way, with reverence, I began to take the Nautilus submarine with Junasz, the protagonist of the book, and began his legendary underwater journey. Captain Nemo, the owner of the Nautilus, was a gloomy and learned man. They traveled together in the Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, Red Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Atlantic Ocean, Antarctic and Arctic Ocean, and saw many rare underwater animals and plants, as well as underwater caves, secret passages and sites, including the famous sunken city Atlantis, an ancient civilization with a history and culture comparable to that of Greece. Nautilus set out from the Sea of Japan, entered the Pacific Ocean, Oceania, and then reached the Indian Ocean, passing through the Red Sea and Arabian Tunnel, and reached the Mediterranean Sea. The submarine crossed the Strait of Gibraltar, along the coast of Africa, and headed for the South Pole. Then go north along the coast of Latin America, follow the warm current to the North Sea, and finally disappear into the whirlpool on the west coast of Norway. During the submarine journey of nearly ten months, Nautilus sailed slowly at an average speed of 12 km per hour. I feel that I enjoyed the ever-changing wonders of the seabed with Captain Nemo and his "guests". The climax of the whole voyage is repeated: underwater hunting, underwater forest visit, underwater Atlantis ruins visit, Spanish shipwreck treasure salvage, coral kingdom funeral witness, fighting with Okumo, sharks and octopus, fighting back against the siege of indigenous people and so on. These books contain a great deal of knowledge about science, culture, geography and geology. O Junasz expressed admiration for Captain Nemo's outstanding talent and knowledge in the voyage. However, in the fascinating story, people are also warned that while seeing that science and technology benefit mankind, they should pay attention to preventing acts that are used by bad people and endanger the human crisis; Put forward the concept of caring for marine life such as seals and whales and condemning indiscriminate killing and fishing. These environmental protection topics, which are still popular today, have been called for by prophets 200 years ago. It can be seen that what leaves a deeper reflection on human justice is to let readers feel colorful adventures and vivid knowledge, and to inspire us to get more books from our hearts.
The novel appeared "monsters" from the sea, frequently attacking ships of various countries, stirring people's panic until the Nautilus was swallowed up by the Atlantic vortex, and the whole novel was full of suspense and interlocking. I was deeply attracted by this book. During the trip, Captain Nemo and I, as well as tourists, can be said to change with the development of things, sometimes fearful, sometimes relaxed and happy. The subtlety of this book lies in the complete enlightenment of knowledge of nature, although it tells a lot about the ocean. For example, the mucus secreted by a tiny creature called fenugreek in the Red Sea makes the sea water as red as blood. But none of them are deliberate, and none of them are hard for readers to accept. It's just what they saw and heard during a trip, which makes people firmly retain all kinds of ideas and gains born of scenery. Not every science fiction novel is as readable as Two Wan Li under the Sea. As a novel that is not fabricated out of thin air, but accumulated by foresight and erudition, it not only explains their journey for readers who don't know underwater knowledge in detail, but also shows the wisdom and civilization of the ancients to later generations. The whole novel introduces scientific knowledge such as ocean current, fish, shellfish, coral, marine benthos, seaweed, marine biological circulation system, pearl production, etc., and becomes a veritable scientific enlightenment novel.
Remarks: The length unit "Li" in the novel is from French history, and the length varies from province to province, and there are ancient Houli, ancient land-Li and ancient sea. Professor Arona Cox used ancient land in his book, which is about four kilometers. So two Wan Li under the sea is 80,000 kilometers that can circle the earth twice.

Feeling: Captain Nemo, the protagonist in the book, is a romantic, mysterious, gloomy, knowledgeable and very attractive person. Nemo built a diving boat according to his own design, snorkeling on the seabed for large-scale scientific research, but it seems that this is not the only purpose of his lonely life. He avoided enemies and persecutors, sought freedom at the bottom of the sea, and felt deep sorrow for his lonely life.
