But perhaps the greatest usefulness is his uselessness.

In a nutshell, Mo Yan's answer is the useless idea of Zhuangzi.

What is useless?

The useless use, out of the Zhuangzi human world chapter:

Zhuangzi and his disciples walked to the foot of a mountain and saw a big tree with lush branches and leaves, standing beside the big stream, which was particularly conspicuous. But see this tree: it is a hundred feet thick, thousands of feet high, pointing to the sky, and its crown is as wide as a giant umbrella, which can cover more than a dozen acres of land. Zhuangzi couldn't help but ask the logger, "Master, how come such a large timber has not been cut down by anyone, so that it has grown alone for thousands of years?" The logger seemed to disdain the tree and said, "What is this surprising? This tree is a useless piece of wood." If it is used as a boat, it will sink in water, if it is used as a coffin, it will quickly rot, if it is used as an utensil, it will be easily destroyed, if it is used as a door or window, it will not dry up, and if it is used as a pillar, it will be susceptible to insect erosion. There is nothing to be used for.

After the master craftsman's words, Zhuangzi said to his disciples, "Trees do not become trees, so they have survived for thousands of years and become sacred trees." The world knows what is useful, but it does not know what is useless.

This is the source of uselessness, and Mo Yan quoted Zhuangzi's philosophical thought on uselessness to answer the real usefulness of this.

"Useless use. ”

When Huang Yifan said this, the classroom fell silent.

Some people feel that they understand.

Some people don't quite understand.

No use, is real use, how does it sound like nonsense, but it makes a lot of sense.

It's just that at this time, everyone no longer dares to talk about anything.

Whether they understand it, or they don't particularly understand it, or even don't understand it at all, they know that the answer to this sentence is indeed very good. At least, they can't think of it.

It's called unclear.

Even these Xiangjiang students who thought they were high-achieving students were shocked by Huang Yifan's useless sentence at this time.

Of course, the shock of this sentence "useless use" to Ms. Xu Ying is even greater.

useless use, which has risen to a philosophical thought.

Philosophy is the earliest study of human beings, which is a science used to understand nature, to know oneself, and to understand the universe of heaven, earth, and the universe.

In fact, there are many, many questions in this world that cannot be answered, including those that cannot be answered even by science.

But if you take another approach, using philosophical ideas, you can find a reasonable explanation for almost all the problems.

This is a philosophical sentence that Huang Yifan said by coincidence?

Or is it a theory that he has explored after deep thought?

If it was the former, Xu Ying might be able to understand a little in the shock.

But if it's the latter

Thinking of this, Xu Ying didn't dare to think about it.

No wonder Liang Sheng looked at him so much.

A demon like this, I'm afraid that any master of the literary world will be moved.

However, Liang Sheng, Liang Sheng, you still have some eyes.

If this little guy is really so wicked, I'm afraid that you won't have a chance to accept apprentices.

Holding up her glasses, Xu Ying said something that shocked all the students, "Thank you Huang Yifan for your guidance and teaching." ”

"Xiao Fan. ”

"Ah, Xiaofan?"

Huang Yifan, who was having dinner with Zhang Huiping, was almost choked, "This title, let's call me by my name directly." ”

"Your name is too unpleasant, I think Xiaofan is very good. ”

"Haha. ”

Huang Yifan pretended to laugh twice, "Xiao Nizi, she is not as old as me, and she dares to call me Xiao Fan." ”

"Xiaofan is good, isn't it, I'll call you Xiaofan in the future, okay. ”

"Okay, okay, okay, but I'll still call you Zhang Huiping. ”

"Cut"

Glaring at Huang Yifan, Zhang Huiping said helplessly, "Okay, okay." By the way, you did a great job today. You don't know, everyone in the class doesn't know what to say when they hear your useless words. Also, Mr. Xu, even Mr. Xu said to you that you are taught, oh my God, Xiaofan, how did you come up with that useless sentence. ”

"Calm, calm, Mr. Xu is just modest, how can I be so powerful. As for useless use, this one, it seems to be seen in a brain teaser. ”

"Poof"

Zhang Huiping almost sprayed some rice, "It's a lie again, don't tell me, you came to Xiangjiang to lie to me." ”

"Why, I never lied to people, if I did, I would have deceived you a long time ago. ”

"Hey, don't talk nonsense, I'm a female champion, Mr. Xu Ying's big disciple, maybe you still have a chance in high school, now, hehe, it's difficult. ”

"Alas, the world is going down, and a good girl has become like this. ”

Huang Yifan teased and sighed.

It's just that before he finished speaking, a twenty-five or six-year-old woman walked out on the side, looked at Huang Yifan with a smile, and said. "This classmate, do you want to chase my little junior sister?"

"Ah, senior sister, you can also come to the 1 canteen to eat. Come, come, sit, sit on my side. ”

Hearing the woman's words, Zhang Huiping hurriedly greeted her.

"Xiaofan, let me introduce to you, this is my senior sister Shu Yi, the queen of Xiangjiang romance novels, currently studying for a doctorate at Xiangjiang University. ”

"Hello senior sister. ”

Huang Yifan nodded and greeted Shu Yi.

However, Shu Yi didn't seem to be interested in Huang Yifan, and he didn't pay attention to what Huang Yifan said, but said to Zhang Huiping, "Senior sister, what did Mr. Xu tell you, it's best not to talk about feelings when you go to school." ”

Zhang Huiping blushed all of a sudden, embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

"Senior sister, you misunderstood, this is just my wishful thinking. ”

Huang Yifan hurriedly relieved Zhang Huiping and said.

"Oh, really?"

Hearing Huang Yifan's answer, Shu Yi just nodded, "You are Huang Yifan?"

"I didn't expect me to be so famous, even my senior sister has heard my name. ”

"I'm sorry, I don't know how famous you are, I just know about you from my junior sister. ”

"Ahh

All right.

Huang Yifan was embarrassed for a while, and Zhang Huiping on the side also snickered.

However, Huang Yifan's words were originally a joke, and he didn't feel anything.

"Listen to my sister, you are very talented, even if my sister is the female champion of Xijiang Province, she feels inferior to you. ”

"Don't dare, UU reading books (com) In fact, Huiping's knowledge has long surpassed me. It's just that he hasn't gotten rid of the image I made of her when I was a child. ”

"It's a bit modest, but it's not so easy to chase my little junior sister. Mr. Xu specially explained to me that he must take good care of his junior sister. The younger sister is younger, more simple, and more easily deceived by some playboys. Since my sister also said that you are quite talented, I don't know if you are interested in writing some articles for our Xiangjiang University campus newspaper. ”

"What's going on?"

Looking at Shu Yi's appearance, he seems to be quite unwelcoming to himself. looked at Zhang Huiping, Zhang Huiping was also bitter and couldn't speak.

"This, senior sister is serious, I just came to Xiangjiang to study, and I don't have too many other ideas. ”

Shu is also Zhang Huiping's senior sister, and Huang Yifan doesn't want to conflict with her, so he said euphemistically.

"In that case, read it well. The University of Hong Kong is no better than a mainland university, and studying here for a few years will be of great use to you for a lifetime. After speaking, he turned his head to Zhang Huiping and said: "Tears are wet, and the young man has a lot of grace." Little junior sister, think about it yourself. (To be continued.) )
