Chapter 116: The Gate of Fluctuations
Li Hongxia has a deep impression of Zhao Jiaren. This man with a height of nearly 185 was slender, and Li Hongxia, who was less than 100 tall at the time, had to look up every time, and Li Hongxia, who was short, was under great psychological pressure at that time.
Now Li Hongxia's height has reached 160, and Zhao Jiaren's height is still about 185. When she went to see this formal teaching young man again, Li Hongxia didn't feel panicked. She could even watch with interest as Zhao Jiaren casually brought a chair and put it on the podium, pointed to the chair and asked the students below, "Can you see this chair?" ”
"Yes!" The students replied in unison.
"Have you all seen bacteria through a microscope?"
"I've seen it!" The students' answers were also very neat.
Zhao Jiaren put his hands on the back of the chair and stared at the classmates below, "If it is material, it will exist." Even if it's small, it's still visible through a microscope or more advanced equipment. But there are things that exist but can never be seen. For example, sound! You can hear me, and I can hear you. The sound is not visible. The lesson I'm going to start with is about that. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Jiaren slapped the back of the chair at hand with his fist, "I ask you to believe in the existence of fluctuations and the existence of the field as you believe in the existence of this chair. Students, if you want to understand day and night, you must first believe that the earth is round. If you want to learn the lessons I will teach later, you must first believe in the existence of fluctuations and fields. ”
Like the other students, Li Hongxia was captivated by the opening statement. It's a declaration to open a whole new door, and it's a confident statement. The teenage people listened attentively with bated breath
In the back row of the classroom, Xu Zhiyuan, who volunteered to come to the class, did not feel the new world. Zhao Jiaren's current dualism of 'believing in XX and getting XX' is a trick of religion to attract people to join the religion. Similar to the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, Xu Yuanzhi was barely able to sit down to what Confucius called 'silent strange power and confusion', and he had no special religious beliefs. This kind of behavior with the demeanor of a religious person did not make Xu Yuanzhi feel unhappy.
After the first class was over, Xu Yuanzhi's unhappiness subsided slightly, and his confusion increased a lot. The 'wave' is not visible, but the effect of the wave on the medium is. Zhao Jiaren uses simple teaching equipment and points out that many seemingly different things seem to have the same origin. Xu Yuanzhi himself was not a staunch Cheng Zhu Lixue school, but he was deeply influenced by Lixue. Seeing that Zhao Jiaren easily established a category, Xu Yuanzhi felt panicked in his heart.
These students have added lessons to their normal classes, and this class is not something that can be completed in a few days. As soon as the forty-five minutes are up, the lesson ends. After class, Zhao Jiaren and Xu Yuanzhi went to the dormitory together. There is still a class tomorrow, and after the lecture, Zhao Jiaren will leave his school in Mawei and go back to Fuzhou to work. In any case, Fuzhou Zhizhou can't go without going to the yamen every day.
On the way back, Xu Yuanzhi spoke, "Zhao Zhizhou, are you a little arrogant in this course?" ”
Zhao Jiaren didn't expect Xu Yuanzhi's question to be so emotional, he smiled: "Science allows people to be arrogant. ”
Xu Yuanzhi knew that the science advocated by Zhao Jiaren, at least on Zhao Jiaren's one-third of an acre of land, everyone had to learn the definition of science even if they memorized it. Xu Yuanzhi has a good memory, and after a little recollection, a passage came to Zhao Jiaren's mind, 'Science can be falsified, science is systematic knowledge, science is not religion, science is an attitude, viewpoint, method,'.
Compared with the statement that 'science allows people to be arrogant', Zhao Jiaren's definition of science is simply arrogant. Xu Yuanzhi replied unhappily: "I don't like this kind of arrogance. ”
Faced with such criticism, Zhao Jiaren felt a little victorious in his heart, and he couldn't help but reply: "Logically speaking, because we are all arrogant, we can't tolerate others being arrogant in front of us." ”
"Humph!" Xu Yuanzhi snorted coldly, he was very contemptuous of Zhao Jiaren's meanness, "Zhao Zhizhou, if you say that, you are just half a pound and eight taels with me." ”
Listening to Xu Yuanzhi's words, Zhao Jiaren couldn't help laughing, "We are all normal people." They feel the world with ourselves as the center, and they all want us to be the center of the world. When we see something we don't like, we get upset. Feeling a different philosophy from ours, we can't help but want to destroy those things. Even if we know that we are not doing it right, we will involuntarily follow our model. Mr. Xu, this is the normal state of human beings. You think I'm just like you, that's right. That means we're all normal people. ”
"Strong words!" Xu Yuanzhi muttered, but then didn't say a word. After walking for a while, and was about to arrive at the door of the dormitory, Xu Yuanzhi suddenly stopped and asked: "Zhao Zhizhou, even if you know that what we are doing is wrong, we will involuntarily follow our model...... Is that really the case? ”
"Of course." Zhao Jiaren's answer was categorical. This is not only the feeling of being a psychiatrist, he chats with many friends with a certain level, and everyone feels the same way. I have heard the right truth many times, and I know that I should do it according to the right principle, but I just can't do it.
Looking at Xu Yuanzhi's enlightened expression, Zhao Jiaren smiled and said, "The progress of the human mind is a trilogy. The first step is to admit that you have a problem; The second step is to recognize what problems you are encountering; The third step is to try to solve the problem. Many people can't even get over the first hurdle in their lives. ”
In the 21st century, most people who see psychiatrists say the same, 'It's not me who is wrong, it's the world that's wrong!'" ’
Xu Yuanzhi stood in place, Zhao Jiaren in his memory was young and vigorous, and he never liked to say anything about saints. But Zhao Jiaren has something to say, just like a trilogy of mental progress. It sounds very simple, but when you think about it, it's really the same thing. After thinking for a moment, Xu Yuanzhi asked, "Then Zhao Zhizhou thinks I have reached that realm?" ”
Faced with Xu Yuanzhi's question, Zhao Jiaren replied briskly: "The first stage has probably arrived, and the second stage has not yet passed." ”
Xu Yuanzhi listened to Zhao Jiaren's evaluation of himself, and he was unhappy for a while, he thought that he had finally gotten the third step, but he didn't expect Zhao Jiaren to mean that Xu Yuanzhi might not even have passed the first stage. With such a big psychological gap, Xu Yuanzhi asked angrily: "But I don't know how much Zhao Zhizhou evaluates himself?" ”
Zhao Jiaren replied very briskly, "The first stage has probably arrived, and the second stage has not passed." ”
This is not what Zhao Jiaren said in order to appease Xu Yuanzhi. In the face of such an era, Zhao Jiaren feels that he can at most know the problems he faces, and there is still a lot of distance from recognizing the problems.
Chinese culture matured very early, and reading the books of the pre-Qin princes, Zhao Jiaren found that the human nature they talked about was no different from that of the 21st century. However, due to the lack of more advanced thinking patterns and tools, China's cultural progress has since been at a level of experience accumulation. In other words, there is no way to recognize exactly what kind of problem you are experiencing. This accumulation of experience has produced many inexplicable explanations, such as the famous sentence that Zhao Jiaren does not appreciate very much, 'the waste pond arbor is still tired of talking soldiers', which resonates very well with the literati class of the Great Song Dynasty.
This is the habit of the Great Song Dynasty, and the real habit of Zhao Jiaren is that the whole society believes that the PLA has higher moral standards and moral integrity than ordinary people.
It's really not speculation for more than half a sentence, Zhao Jiaren and Xu Yuanzhi both tried to be honest with each other. However, the foundation of the two was too different, and in the end, Xu Yuanzhi turned his head and went to his dormitory. Zhao Jiaren felt a little regretful in his heart, but it was far more than having to change his mind for Xu Yuanzhi. Seeing Xu Yuanzhi leaving, Zhao Jiaren also returned to his dormitory. Then Xu Yuanzhi's question was left behind by Zhao Jiaren.
Li Hongxia didn't know what the adults were thinking, and Zhao Jiaren wanted to tell the students about the theory of electromagnetism, and the introductory part of the waves. Young Li Hongxia was lying on the bunk, her mind full of the results of the experimental equipment. It was a very simple projection device, with a 45-degree mirror under the rectangular glass container, and the light of the candles came in, and the water waves in the glass container could be clearly projected onto a screen hanging high above at a 45-degree angle.
The energy is transmitted in the situation of waves, and all kinds of ripples make Li Hongxia feel very beautiful. Before attending the class, Li Hongxia always thought that sound was a very simple thing. After taking this elementary class, Li Hongxia realized that the sound was actually sound waves. That is, the vibration of the vocal cords in the throat turns the energy into fluctuations, and these fluctuations are received by the eardrum, and finally become signals that are felt by the brain.
In addition to the excitement, Li Hongxia also felt a kind of confusion and distress. If the first course is so difficult, what will happen to the next course?
Things were just as Li Hongxia expected, and the later course shifted from sound waves to electromagnetic waves. Frequency, electricity, resistance, all kinds of content are as Zhao Jiaren said, it is a new world. Immersed in this world, in the tenth month of the Song calendar, Li Hongxia wanted to ask Zhao Jiaren, who came to class, some questions, but suddenly saw more than a dozen big monks wearing robes and surrounding Zhao Jiaren. She froze, completely unaware of what was going on.
Zhao Jiaren was not surprised by the gathering of monks from the Jinshan Temple and other areas in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which was his previous agreement with several temples. Those temples provided great monks who knew Sanskrit, and Zhao Jiaren was responsible for taking them to Sinhala and Tianzhu. It took more than ten years for Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty to learn the scriptures, and now the great monks take Zhao Jiaren's boat to Tianzhu, and the round-trip time required on the road is only half a year.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I must have a request for you. I think you probably know it all in your hearts. In front of a group of great monks, Zhao Jiaren didn't talk nonsense at all.
The great monks of the Song Dynasty all had temple properties, and they had a very thorough understanding of interests. The purpose of going to Sinhala and Tianzhu was to gild himself and try to bring back some articles of the Buddha, or at least objects that would make the monks feel that they could claim to the devotees that they were Buddha's supplies. Since their purpose was like this, there was no reason for Zhao Jiaren who was carrying them to feel unhappy.
Hui Ye, the great monk of Jinshan Temple, bowed his head and said: "Amitabha, Zhao Shizhu, Buddhism talks about cause and effect. Zhao Shi planted good causes, and naturally got good results. The great monks of other monasteries listened to Master Huiye's words so peaceful and upright, and they all bowed their heads and chanted Buddha.
Jinshan Temple is a famous temple, and the monks here should be decent. Although Zhao Jiaren felt that his level of understanding of Buddhism was probably higher than that of the monks of the Great Song Dynasty, he had no intention of being more serious with the monks at this time. Seeing that the great monks expressed their cooperation, Zhao Jiaren continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, I hope to receive Ayurvedic medicine from Tianzhu. Part of this was inherited by the monasteries and part by the Brahmins. I sent you to Tianzhu in the hope that you could get this knowledge through exchanges in Tianzhu. ”
As soon as they heard 'Ayurvedic medicine', the monks from Ashoka Temple couldn't help but straighten their chests. The name Ashoka Temple alone is very closely related to Ayurvedic medicine.
Zhao Jiaren saw the expression of the great monk, and suddenly felt a sigh in his heart. When he was in China, he had heard the name of Ayurvedic medicine, a traditional medicine, but he didn't know it. In China, medicine is a combination of advanced technology, a variety of precise physiological knowledge and treatment techniques. On the contrary, it was only after arriving in the United States that Zhao Jiaren learned that China's so-called 'Western medicine' is actually not the same thing as modern medicine.
The foundation of Western medicine is herbalism and witchcraft, and in a sense, Ayurvedic medicine is also a kind of predecessor of Western medicine. According to Hindu mythology, the origins of Ayurveda are legendary. It was created by Brahma, the creator of one of the three major gods of Hinduism, to protect humanity before it was created. Brahma first taught Ayurveda to the twin sons of the god of medicine, Asins, and they taught it to Indra, the god of thunderstorms. Indra passed it on to the virtuous people who practiced on earth, and they in turn passed it on to their descendants and disciples.
For the first time in history, the Ayurvedic account appears in the Rig Veda, an ancient collection of Indian poetry, dating back to 6000 BC. Between 3000 BC and 2000 BCE, one of the four Vedic scriptures, the Atharva, was published, in which Ayurveda was attached to the Adda as a supplement to the Vedic scriptures. Although Ayurvedic medicine had long been applied to practice, it was only by this time that it was compiled by oral transmission into a book and became an independent science.
After the emergence of modern medicine in Europe, the first thing to be overturned was this 'Western medicine' that combined myths and legends and herbalism. It was only after the expulsion of these witch doctors that modern medicine began to flourish.
However, in Europe and the United States, herbalism still survives tenaciously. It also borrowed a lot of spice essential oils from Ayurveda. After Zhao Jiaren arrived in the United States, it took a lot of effort to get used to this medical culture.
Hui Ye, the great monk of Jinshan Temple, used his speech to bring Zhao Jiaren's thoughts back to reality, "Zhao Shizhu hangs the pot to help the world, this is the heart of compassion." Naturally, we will do our best to help. ”
The great monks cooperated so much, Zhao Jiaren laughed, "Then let's work together." ”
