Chapter 218: Banquet Fluctuations
As if someone was suddenly appearing, Wang Jian suddenly felt very stressed and uncomfortable.
He looked at Long Yifei uneasily, but he encouraged himself.
Bai San's eyelids suddenly moved.
This was observed by Wang Jian for the first time.
But with his eyes, a child of the clan suddenly stood up: "Prime Minister, I suddenly got a few little maids here, and I want to perform for everyone, I don't know if I agree or not." ”
The prime minister frowned, he didn't seem to know what was going on, more confused than angry.
In the secret realm, the hierarchy is strict, and those in higher positions often have a natural right to dispose of those who are lower, but this does not include the royal family.
Of course, there are quite a few royal families, so naturally there is a way to divide them into three, six, nine and so on.
"No need, just be honest and entertain your guests here, and don't let irrelevant people disturb the purity. ”
"Hehe, but, these little maids can't wait to perform, and I can't stop it. ”
After speaking, several people appeared from outside the hall.
Three little girls.
He is not tall, probably in his teens, and he is dressed in fancy clothes, which is completely different from the monotonous people of the secret realm.
These three little girls, the first one, were dressed in floral cloth clothes, and they worked quickly at first sight, and most importantly, they carried a basket in their hands and a cloth hat on their heads.
The one on the left is wearing a small blue dress, which looks very slim.
The one on the right, however, is dressed in black, and most importantly, is holding a ragdoll bear in his hand.
However, the most important thing is that they are all blonde or brown hair and blue faces!
Wang Jian was blindsided for a moment, but immediately grasped the crux of the problem!
When did the secret realm have people of foreign origin?
He quickly glanced at Anna, the female diplomat from the United States, and found that she was also very surprised, so he withdrew his gaze.
Yes, foreign origin.
There is no doubt that the people of the secret realm are composed of a group of ancient people from the Chinese Kingdom.
To be precise, it is the ancient Sichuan people.
At that time, these people went through the moment of changing dynasties, as the henchmen of Wang Mang, who was overthrown and overthrown, came to the south, but found that their master had failed.
Gongsun Shu's rebellion was largely quickly crushed.
In order to maintain his own life and the prosperity of his subordinates, Gongsun Shu chose the secret realm of running away.
Therefore, the bloodline of the people of the secret realm is incredibly pure.
Later, for thousands of years.
There are always some families, smart or self-inflicted, who run away from the secret realm at the moment when the world is in turmoil, or when their own family is facing a full house of beheading.
This is also the reason why the news of the secret realm is most likely blocked.
And Wang Jian also compared.
Are these families who want to immigrate to the secret realm now different from those in history?
Therefore, in the secret realm, it is likely that there are many generations of families hidden for thousands of years.
However, these people, without exception, must be Chinese.
Black hair and black eyes.
Blonde and blue-eyed people are very small in the overall distribution of humans, and they belong to a kind of human adaptation to the low level of light in the Arctic Circle. This adaptation is reflected at the genetic level, and it is a biallelic variant that affects phenotypic pigment deficiency. For human populations who live in areas with low sunlight for a long time, light-skinned individuals can make more ultraviolet rays penetrate the skin, promote vitamin D synthesis, and avoid diseases such as rickets. Assuming that the level of one recessive gene a in the total human gene is 1 in 1,000, then under the conditions of completely random intermarriage, the chance of a person acquiring two A genes and exhibiting the recessive type is 1 in a million, the chance of becoming an Aa carrier is 2 in 1,000, and the rest of the person is AA. Suppose that a gene A has a survival advantage in the Arctic Circle, and when the mutation creates A, A quickly takes over the entire population. And in other areas, a is a failed variant that cannot survive. So the same total gene pool containing 1 in 1,000 people, 1 in 1,000 people live near the North Pole, and they are all AA, and the other 999 out of 1,000 people live in other regions, and they are all AA. Carriers do not exist. This A is the blonde gene. In modern times, there is less pressure to screen (death from a lack of cheap vitamin D from pharmacies is almost unthinkable, and death from sunburn infection is also unlikely). The frequency of genes has barely changed across the human spectrum. But as the mobility of people increases, we are moving from being close to the second model to being close to the first model. For the same gene frequency, the second model showed a thousand times more blonde phenotypes than the former.
In fact, there are not many blondes in the first place. In fact, if you are of European ancestry, you generally have brown hair or golden brown, and the color of your eyes is mainly brown, and many of them are grayish even if they are blue, and the effect is that they are not blue, not green. There are also more hair colors that were blonde when I was a child, and when I grew up, my hair color became darker and darker, and finally it was golden brown. What impressed me the most was the landlord of my original homestay, she was of European descent, she told me that she was nicknamed a lot when she was in school because of her brown hair color (some brown color, brown kind of brown, not brown and black kind), brown eyes, and the most obvious manifestation of European ancestry. It was only then that I learned that blonde hair and blue eyes were actually a minority. Especially that kind of white gold hair color, after all, there are not a lot of golden colors. Golden Brown is the majority. And from the perspective of blonde and blue-eyed genes, it is actually a recessive gene. Under the combination of human race and blood, this kind of gene will gradually disappear.
In any case, the yellow race wants to give birth to such a blonde and blue-eyed little Lori, uh, of course, or can you dye your hair and wear contact lenses?
No, not dyed hair.
Wang Jian's suspicious eyes were the first to look at Anna and the attachés sent by the United States this time.
After all, they have the most conditions for "committing crimes" for this kind of thing.
In fact, everyone looked at it.
But what's wrong is that these three little girls were watched by hundreds of people, still calm, proud and proud of everyone, and also brought their own formation, led by the little girl with the basket, it seemed that they had their own ideas, Wang Jian could notice that no one commanded them!
Most of the so-called prodigies are nonsense.
In Wang Jian's personal opinion, there is no real prodigy.
Nature wants children to be like children before they become adults. If we disrupted this order, we would have produced some precocious fruits, which would be extremely unplump and sweet, and which would soon rot: we would have produced young doctors and senile children. Children have their own views and feelings, and it would be foolish to try to substitute ours for theirs.
The problem is not to teach him all kinds of knowledge, but to cultivate in him an interest in learning, and to teach him the methods of studying it when this interest is fully grown.
Don't teach him this or that, but let him discover it himself.
Childhood is a period of sane sleep.
True education is not in oralism but in practice.
This kind of mentality of all parents reflects some of their unfulfilled ambitions, anxieties, preferences, fears, and so on. In the specific performance of the child, this reflects what kind of person the child is, but rather reflects the fact of what kind of person the parents behind him are.
After children adapt to this setting and script (parents' will or hidden expectations), this will greatly interfere with and hinder their spontaneous growth. We have to admit that the most outstanding talents that people have later are usually motivated by their inner and true emotions, self-needs, etc., rather than external forces. And if he is shaped into a certain state by external forces at an early age, many of his spontaneous true selves will be curbed when they adapt to that state. And those who have sacrificed their true selves are the most important source of one's creativity and talent.
Many parents are anxious to let their children show excellence, and prematurely instill external evaluation standards when their children have not had time to develop their own spontaneity and autonomy, forcing their children to be "excellent" in these standards prematurely! But in the process, they destroy their children's endogenous true self and emotional autonomy, which has to be said to have some long-term hidden costs. - It does not necessarily come at the cost of the child's eventual mediocrity (as is the case with Zhongyong), because it always has a lot of deep anxieties that force it to meet the expectations and satisfaction of others, but it is very likely that there will be some hidden dangers of psychological problems or troubles in the future.
There is a surprising similarity between gifted and born with a disability: the person is isolated, confused, and overwhelmed. One of the patterns that struck me the most during my research for this book was that many people later in life cherished seemingly undesirable abnormal traits. Conversely, seemingly desirable abnormal traits often have many fears. Many expectant parents who fear that their children will have a disability aspire to their children's extraordinary talents. Such children may bring great beauty to the world, and parents may derive great joy from their accomplishments. Such children may also drag their parents' lives into extraordinary new arrangements. Clever parents often have smart children, but dazzling genius can only come from aberration, and like the subject matter of other chapters in this book, it belongs to horizontal identity.
A child prodigy is a child who is able to compete with a high-level adult in some specific area before the age of twelve. I'm using the term here more broadly, and I think of all those who have discovered a deep inherent talent in childhood and adolescence as a child prodigy. The word prodigy derives from the Latin word prodigium, which means "monster who rebels against the ways of heaven." The difference between prodigies is so striking that it is as glaring as a physical defect. Anxiety about the abnormal goes far beyond etymology. Very few people want to be seen as a child prodigy, especially since child prodigies are often associated with premature aging, abnormal development, and abnormal behavior. In the eyes of many prodigies, prodigies are nothing more than pathetic and bizarre freaks who are almost impossible to achieve lifelong social or professional success, and their performances are more of a party gimmick than an art.
The name of a child prodigy often implies the reality of being a young man, while the name of a genius implies the ability to add value to human consciousness. Many geniuses are not prodigies, and many prodigies are not extraordinarily talented. The French poet Raymond Hadiget said, "A juvenile prodigy does exist like an extraordinary adult, but the two are rarely the same person." In this chapter, however, I am committed to the continuum of prodigies to geniuses, so there is a lot of overlap in the use of the two terms. The protagonists of this chapter show that at any stage in a child's life, the emergence of extraordinary abilities will always change the original family status, as in the case of schizophrenia or other disabilities. Having said that, juvenile ambition and success are still two very different identities.
Just like disability, precocious wisdom forces parents to redesign their lives around their children's special needs. In such cases, specialists must also be brought into the home, and in such cases, the basic strategies used by these experts to deal with the child's abnormality often weaken the parent's authority. Precocious children force parents to seek support from people with similar experiences. Parents will soon be confronted with the paradox of mainstreaming education and will have to make difficult decisions: either to place their children with people of similar intelligence or to place them with people of similar age. The former group is often too old to make friends with prodigies, while the latter group often has difficulty understanding the prodigies' achievements and deliberately distances themselves from them. Just like any developmental aberration, talent can also get in the way of intimacy between people. The health and happiness of child prodigy families are not much higher than those of the other families in this book.
The vast majority of a child's behaviour is learned from their parents. Parents of child prodigies will repeatedly tell their children who they were in the past, who they are now, and who they may become in the future, seeking a compromise between achievement and innocence. To construct such a narrative, parents often confuse the anomalies of rapid growth with the long-term goal of deep growth. There is no clear dividing line between the behaviour of providing support to the child and the behaviour of exerting pressure on the child, and trusting the child's abilities is not incompatible with forcing the child to follow the parents' own imagination. There are many ways to harm child prodigies, such as focusing too much on nurturing talents and neglecting personality development, or focusing on holistic development and neglecting the specific skills that will best satisfy the child. Prodigy children may feel that their parents' love for them depends entirely on their dazzling success, or they may feel that their parents don't care about their talents and talents. Cultivating a child prodigy means exchanging the sacrifice of the present for the future of joy and sorrow. If society's expectations for the vast majority of unconventional children are too low, then expectations for prodigies are often falteringly high.
