There is a shortage of people everywhere, especially people who can understand various manuals and operating procedures, so Wei Minsheng decided to take a look at Wang Shuangming's teaching again.

When he came to the electric classroom, Wang Shuangming said to Wei Minsheng: "Master, a few students have asked me these days why I don't teach the Four Books and Five Classics, Qin, Chess, Calligraphy and Painting, and Poetry and Song. I don't know why, I don't know how the owner arranged it. ”

Wei Minsheng thought for a moment and said to Wang Shuangming: "You go and gather all the students, I have something to say to them." Then he found an open space, found a chair, and stood on it.

Seeing more than 100 students around him, Wei Minsheng sorted out his thoughts and said loudly: "Just now I heard that some students are asking, why don't we talk about the Four Books and Five Classics, Qin, Chess, Calligraphy and Painting, and Poetry and Song here?" I have only one sentence for this question: 'Can I eat this as a meal?' In my understanding, at this time now, food and clothing are the first priority. Poetry is right, that is when you don't have to worry about food and clothing to come out to pass the time. ”

"The Four Books and Five Classics, poems and songs, these things are composed of one of the most basic things, that is, words. But do you know what this text is all about? What is the purpose of their existence? Have you thought about it? ”

"When it comes to words, we have to mention the word 'information', because the meaning of words is because of information, and words are just a form of information."

So, what is the message? I believe that information is an abstract description of the space-time state of all matter in the entire universe, so all information originates from the space-time state of matter. So, what is the space-time state? The state of space-time, in the literal sense, refers to the properties of time, space, and matter itself. Any matter has some properties of its own, and different substances combine the changes in time and space to form our world, so the world is a huge synthesis of information. ”

"There's a lot of information that we don't know, but it's real, it's just not relevant to our lives, so we don't need to know about it. The information we need to know is only the category of information that is directly related to human beings. The human body itself is a complex that can send, receive and process information, such as: vision, can receive light information, as long as there is light, we can see the real world, and blind people cannot perceive the world through light; Hearing, which can receive sound information, facilitates the communication of people, and I say here, you listen below, this is a way of transmitting information, and the deaf obviously lose this ability; The sense of smell, which can obtain odor information so that we can identify various substances in order to avoid things that are harmful to our body; Taste, which can obtain taste information; Haptics, which can sense information such as temperature. This information is processed by the human brain and can be used as a guideline for human behavior. Without access to this information, people are at a loss for what they do, because without this information, they don't know what to do, what not to do, where to be safe, and where to be dangerous. Therefore, in a certain sense, information is the basic condition for human existence. ”

"In the long history of the development of human society, the inheritance of information is the decisive factor in the development of human society. Suffice it to say that humanity would not have produced civilization without having access to information. Sound and movement are the easiest ways to communicate information, and they are also the basic skills of most animals, so why is it that only humans have developed a high degree of civilization? That's because of the inheritance of information. ”

"In the life course of any animal, memories will be generated, but the things in the memory cannot be passed on and will disappear with the passing of life, so animals are always animals, and the process of evolution is quite long. People are different, they invented writing, and the information in memory is preserved in the form of words, which is passed down from generation to generation. With writing, human beings can obtain the lifetime survival experience of thousands of people in a very short period of time, and improve the ability to adapt and transform the living environment, so civilization was born. ”

"The world we live in is made up of all kinds of materials, so information is everywhere. A stone can have information such as weight, shape, size, density, prescription position, and more detailed, elemental composition. If we can get this complete information about this stone, we can reproduce it no matter when or what happened, and this is the reproducibility of information. The movie you've seen earlier is a way to record information about events. ”

"With enough information, anything can be reproduced, which is something that other animals don't have. It is precisely because of this reproducibility of information that human beings have been able to sum up various experiences and develop various branches of science through a large number of written materials. What you see in this lodge is the result of the wisdom of millions of people, through continuous inheritance and improvement. ”

"Information is ubiquitous, but it was originally embodied in knotted rope notes, stone carvings, tortoise shells, bamboo slips, etc., but these methods are incomplete, and must be accompanied by words and deeds, and even in the form of poetry, in order to be circulated."

Due to the limited way of obtaining information, human beings do not have a high level of understanding of society, so they simply divide things into two natures, such as: size, quantity, length, good and bad, etc., so the germ of the theory of yin and yang was born, which is the basis for the analysis and understanding of nature in the Book of Changes. This simple division has played a great role in promoting the production of words, because it is simple, it is easy to circulate, and because it is simple, it is easy to carve. However, due to the different development processes of each tribe, different scripts were used for the expression of the same things, which seriously affected the further exchange of civilizations. ”

"The powerful country you see in the movie, we call it the 'Qin' country. Although the Qin-state only existed for a short period of fifteen years, and the brutality of the monarch eventually led to the demise of the state, it also left behind an inconspicuous but indispensable achievement in the history of human development: the unification of writing, currency, and weights and measures. ”

"Because for a piece of information to be delivered accurately, it must have standards, and information without standards cannot express accurate meanings, and only when the sender and receiver of the information use comparable standards, the information is valid and reproducible. For example, the weight of a pound in our mountain village is not the same as the weight of a pound outside, I promise to give you a pound of food, when you don't get it, you will use the standard of a pound outside to imagine the amount of these grains in your mind, but when you get the food I give you, you will find that there is a big difference between what I give and what you think. Therefore, there must be a unified standard for the transmission of information in order to be accurately transmitted. ”

"There are some things I said just now that you may not understand, but you must understand the fundamental meaning of words, that is, the inheritance of information, which contains two meanings, one is transmission, and the other is inheritance."

PS: A few years ago, all walks of life were talking about information construction, but good dreams searched all over the Internet, and there was no accurate definition of information, everything that said information was just a classification of information, in a fit of anger, I made up this definition of information, if you agree, vote for a few recommendations; If you don't agree, just read it as a novel.
