China has a profound history and a long history and culture. From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties, and then to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, countless sages and ancient saints have left us many classic maxims, which have been chosen as mottos by countless people.
However, many Chinese people have learned famous sayings and aphorisms since they were young, thinking that they are the true meaning of life. However, they do not know that many of them are only the first half of the sentences, or even taken out of context. After reading the entire sentence, many students discovered: China’s Education Commission is really unauthentic!
Famous Quote 1: Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration!
Wait a minute, this famous saying that I regard as my motto actually has a second half. The original text is this: "Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. But the 1% inspiration is the most important, even more important than 99% perspiration!" Talent was originally ignored, but in fact talent is Very very important.
Famous Quote 2: Don’t travel far when your parents are here.
Meaning: When parents are alive, they cannot travel far away.
However, the original text is as follows: "If your parents are not traveling far away, you must have a good way to travel." This does not mean that you cannot go, you must make arrangements before going!
Don’t travel far away if your parents are around. It doesn’t mean that people with parents are not allowed to go out.
Famous Quote 3: My life has a limit, but my knowledge has no limit.
It means: Human life is limited, but knowledge is infinite, so we must cherish time and work hard to learn knowledge.
However, there is also the second half of this sentence: "My life also has a limit, but my knowledge has no limit. If I have a limit, I will have no limit, and I will die." - "Zhuangzi"
It means : Pursuing infinite knowledge with a limited life will make you exhausted!
My life also has a limit, but the meaning of knowledge has no limit is not what we understand.
Famous Quote 4: There are three ways of being unfilial, and having no heirs is the greatest.
It means: There are three ways of being unfilial, among which having no heirs is the most unfilial.
Original text: "There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the greatest of which is to have no heirs. Shun married without complaining, which meant he had no heirs, and a gentleman thought that he should sue even more." - "Mencius Li Lou Shang"
< p> Meaning: Shun got married without informing his parents, and failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a descendant.
