Wang Yan struggled until there were only 30 seconds left.

The main reason is that both books have their own advantages and disadvantages at the same time, and neither is actually the best choice.

If there is still time, Wang Yan would rather pick a book of "Junior High School Mathematics" or "Physiological Hygiene......

Cause?

I understand it thoroughly enough!

The system's clear hint: get rewards based on your perceptions.

No matter how good the Tao Te Ching is, the understanding is one-sided, the perception is naïve, and the reward standard is definitely not high!

No matter how bad it is, it's good to bring in "The Federal Reserve's Biography", at least I've read it through, even though there are still many incomprehensible points, but it's better than catching blind now.

However, it is a pity that the National Library is not allowed to bring his own books in, and for a while, Wang Yan could not find the books he was familiar with.

So there is no choice but to choose one of the two existing ones.

After thinking about it again and again, when there were only 5 seconds left, Wang Yan gritted his teeth and grabbed the "Tao Te Ching".

"System, confirm reading the book!"

"Tao Te Ching" is much more difficult to understand than "Selected Song Ci", it is simply not a level, but Wang Yan must choose it this way.

Because Wang Yan knows very well what this book means.

To put it simply, it is the supreme treasure of Chinese civilization.

In other words, it is the supreme treasure of human civilization.

The Great Yi Wuji, the road to simplicity, read one of the two classics, you can be called a master.

Of course, Wang Yan doesn't want to read one of them now, and he doesn't even want to read it very much—it's too early.

But since there are rewards to follow, it's best to read one!

is very simple and pragmatic thinking, which is completely in line with Wang Yan's background and experience, so it is decided.

The system starts timing immediately.

[Perception time opens, countdown 59 minutes and 59 seconds]

Wang Yan didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately opened the book.

The first sentence is "the Tao is the way, the very way, the name is famous, the name is not famous, the name is not famous".

Below are the notes.

There are many versions of the Tao Te Ching, the time is urgent, and it is too late to pick it carefully, Wang Yan got the "Wang Bi Laozi Note", just one glance, and the brain began to hurt.

[The way of the way, the name of the name, refers to the shape of things, and it is not normal. Therefore, it cannot be said, and it cannot be named.

My dear brother!

It's not good to make notes and don't note well, what kind of classical Chinese are you doing?

Don't think about whether I can understand this kind of melon batch?

Wang Yan's grades in ancient literature are not bad, but he is at the level of ordinary high school students, and it is really a bit difficult to understand the annotations of this style.

As soon as I gritted my teeth, I simply put aside the annotations and read the original text directly.

It's impossible to give up, so I have to fight, and what I can understand is what it is!

As soon as the unyielding energy in Wang Yan's bones came up, he immediately abandoned all selfish distractions and devoted himself to reading and understanding.

It's hard, it's very strenuous.

For example, in the second chapter -

"Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beautiful, and evil is evil, and everyone knows that what is good is good, and what is not good. There is no symbiosis, difficulty and ease are mutually compatible, long and short are dwarfed, high and low are mutually beneficial, sound and sound are harmonious, and they follow each other. ”

Wang Yan didn't understand the first sentence until he pondered the second sentence and looked back, and he didn't get a little bit.

"There is no symbiosis, difficulty and ease are mutually compatible, long and short are dwarfed, high and low are mutually beneficial, sound and sound are harmonious, and the front and back follow each other", talking about contrast.

Existence and non-existence arise from mutual opposition, and difficulty and ease arise from mutual correspondence.

To use the current buzzword to describe - "no comparison, no harm", "all shortcomings are compared"

Looking back at the first sentence, Wang Yan probably understood.

Everyone knows beauty, because there is ugliness.

Everyone knows what is good, because there is something bad.

Incisive!

Therefore, this is the earliest dialectical thought in China, the theory of contrast?

With Wang Yan's strength, he can only comprehend to this extent, but he is still deeply inspired.

Everyone knows that it is not easy to live a poor life, so it will give birth to money worship and kneel and lick the rich.

And the reason why modern society is prevalent is because ...... Wait, no!

Beeps are not new to modern times, but have been around since ancient times.

For example, Xie Lingyun, after drinking too much, wants to pretend to be big, and he opens his mouth to come: "The talents of the world are one stone!"

Everyone was surprised, but Xie Lingyun is amazing, his status is high, everyone has to listen to what he says!

Next, the next sentence is to praise the idol: "Cao Zijian has eight buckets alone!"

Okay, Cao Zhi was really good back then, and everyone had to hold it back if they were convinced or not.

The last sentence, play meat.

Xie Lingyun raised the wine bottle, drank it all, and laughed at the sky. (There should be a meme here)

"I have a bucket, a bucket from ancient times to the present!!"

The audience was stunned.

......

Therefore, it is human nature to pretend to beep.

Wang Yan thought about it in his heart, and when he went back during the winter vacation, he wanted to impress all his classmates in high school who looked down on him, which was somewhat childish, but extremely natural.

The so-called "achieving a better self" is partly for survival, partly for material enjoyment, and then for spiritual satisfaction.

How to satisfy?

Compare with the same kind!

I am more handsome, smarter, richer, kinder, more contributing to society, and naturally satisfied.

Some beeps are dressed openly, and some beeps are secretly cool, but in general, they are all compared and lined out.

Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, the need for respect and self-actualization at the advanced stage, the core essence is one sentence -

I've got to beep!

Although most of the time, I don't want to pretend, but I must have the right and ability to pretend to beep at any time!

When it comes to comparing myself to others, I am excellent and outstanding, and respect naturally comes.

The meaning of self-actualization is simpler: I am so good, my talent cannot be wasted, come on, let me seek some welfare for those of you who are not so good, and make some contribution to social progress!

Look, the formulation is a bit rough, but the truth is correct, right?

Wang Yan felt right.

Then just listen to the sound of "ding", and the system prompt comes suddenly.

[In the process of reading the Tao Te Ching, you comprehend the true meaning of pretending to beep, achieve the reading goal in advance, and get a reward]

Wang Yan was completely stunned.

What the hell?

I've only read two chapters, and if I think outside the box, I'm done?!

Don't be so sloppy!

Wang Yan This is the bullying system has no intelligence, if there is intelligence, it is estimated that the country will be scolded a long time ago.

Why do you dare to call me sloppy?

Reading a "Tao Te Ching", you can actually think of pretending to beep, and it is a particularly mysterious fit, how desperate am I for you to make it?!

However, the system is emotional, so not only did he not scold his mother, but he also gave an extremely rare answer.

[The host's understanding of the comparison has reached the limit of the content of this sentence in depth, although the idea is not high and slightly narrow, but it is enough to trigger the current highest-level reward]

As soon as he heard that it was the highest level of reward, Wang Yan immediately had no opinion, closed the book, and looked at the panel.

【Extraordinary】

【Possession card, 3/3 times of use】

[When you want to pretend to beep, you can summon an ancient forced king who once wrote a note to the Tao Te Ching to possess you, and obtain the corresponding aura and forced style]

[Duration: 10 minutes / each time]

[Candidates for the king: Wang Bi, Song Huizong, Zhao Ji, Zhang Daoling]

Seeing those three names, Wang Yan was stunned.

The most unfamiliar is Wang Bi, but there is a brief introduction in this "Commentary on the Tao Te Ching", and he is indeed a peerless talent with a very high standard.

Not to mention the rest of the two, they are familiar.

If these three opportunities are used well, whoever comes will be beaten......

Hey, cool!
