Chapter 53: A New Goddess Airborne on Campus (Part II)

Previous Chapter

Ling 053) Morgan returned to China on sick leave for surgery, and the substitute teacher had an accident and surprised the new goddess.

Shen Xinyue: "It's really amazing, Professor Morgan's students are really not simple!" Originally, what I was about to talk about was: movement, stopping, and doing nothing. This is ancient Eastern wisdom and an interpretation of another way of all things.

"Some people say: Taoist people are lazy people, and Taoist philosophy is just two words: lazy. It is an excuse for those who have nothing to do, a pretext for stealing and playing tricks. In fact, the so-called 'laziness' of Taoism is essentially a kind of 'laziness with quality'. It's not that you don't do it, but you do it according to the current situation of heaven. Because it is cleverly done, fast and efficient, it saves time and effort, so why not? Take a typical example, such as the most classic water conservancy project in ancient times - Dujiangyan. To this day, it is an immortal miracle and a great wisdom that follows the trend. ”

Mo Xue'er replied again: "Another example: Ding Wei built a canal." ”

Shen Xinyue: "Beautiful! Eh, I found out that the girls are super responsive, where are the boys? Let me see your knowledge! That's another example I'm going to cite. I don't need to repeat the details, a classic case of killing three birds with one stone in ancient times. Behind this so-called "laziness", it is a good situation, efficient operation, twice the result with half the effort, and a win-win situation, and the senior management idea is also a super practical elite treasure book today, which is very different from the laziness of the mediocre people who are greedy for pleasure.

"This kind of quality laziness is to have a brain, and the laziness that integrates wisdom and ability is not something that everyone has, but we can aspire to and pursue. "Tao Te Ching" is to depict this kind of way of all things: great truth is like fiction, great ingenuity is clumsy, the road is simple, and great wisdom is like foolishness. Therefore, the ultimate truth of ancient and modern China and foreign countries is actually the same. Well, since it's so magical, let's talk about the thinking of the Tao Te Ching. ”

The essence of the Tao Te Ching is: rule by doing nothing, doing nothing without doing, and using nothing is useful.

None, not nothing, but quiet. is quietly changing his form, but he is not conspicuous, unassuming, and unpretentious. Quiet is the restless king, and the heavy is the light root. Just as the official just said, it is a saturated state, the surface is static, and the inside is achieved: dynamic equilibrium. When used in the art of the emperor, it becomes: let the literati and the military generals, the government and the bandits, the tenants and the owners form a confrontation, so as to restrain each other and contain each other, then the country of 'I' will be more stable.

For example, it is to change, to change the status quo in accordance with the natural laws of matter, rather than to modify it simply and rudely, eradicate and clean, and divert rather than intercept and block the flow. The ultimate goal is to move towards a new, more optimal, dynamic equilibrium and stability. This kind of action is to move, and it is a wise and high-quality action.

Therefore, the spirit of all things that Taoism reveres is: water.

As the saying goes: goodness is like water, and water benefits all things without fighting.

The earth is low into the sea, and the low man is king.

Frustrate its sharpness, resolve its disputes, and its light, and its dust.

Water is the survival of all things, we see, the original birthplace of every ancient civilization must be a watershed, with water as the core, spreading out to the surroundings.

And the water itself has always flowed silently, simply persistent. When it encounters the soil, it is gone, and it goes around the mountains, the light does not shine, and the shape is with the object. Whatever container you put in, it is what shape it is, and if there is no container, you will lean over the dirt and sand, and never show off. But when you need strength, you can also have huge waves, destroying the withering and decaying, and the water drops and stones pierce, and it is unstoppable.

Our Oriental Yin-Yang doctrine is a pair of small fish that are like each other, with flowing, complementary lines, soft and flexible. Western philosophy, on the other hand, uses a pair of rigid and straight triangles, which are metaphors for the Holy Grail and the sword, symbolizing the complementarity of female and male, and expressing the combination of benevolence and bravery, simplicity and interdependence.

Therefore, we do not have to argue about winning or losing for the sake of the deeper, more dialectical, and closer to the truth of the secret revealed in the Tao Te Ching and the Da Vinci Code. Seeking common ground while reserving differences, coexisting with mountains and rivers, each side of the party, and benefiting all generations, this is the royal road! What do you say?

Shen Xinyue withdrew her passionate eyes, looked down at the time, gently closed the lesson plan, and finally summarized it calmly:

There is a word in Spanish that makes their philosophers very proud, and it is called: Aufu Haben. This is just Mr. Morgan's transliteration, which is understood from the pronunciation as: departure and arrival, end and beginning, exit and absence, existence and disappearance, life and death, and so on, in short, they are a group of diametrically opposed meanings, but condensed in the same word, which is very interesting.

They believe that no language can express two completely opposite things in one word so perfectly, except for their native language.

However, it cannot simply be said that they are conceited or proud, because it is human nature to love their mother tongue and culture, and this is true of Germans, French, British, and Chinese. It's just that they don't fully understand Chinese, or the languages of other ethnic groups.

There is no shortage of such perfect and interesting words in Chinese, you can go back and find them, and this is also my homework today: find a Chinese character or word that can be comparable to that word, and interpret the two-sided meaning of this word, 200 to 500 words.

In addition, I know that some students are very smart and have good grades, and they would rather play games than submit their assignments on time, and still fail their courses in the end. I have no right to interfere, I just want to give you one sentence: have the courage and ability to push away what you like, that is growth. I quietly look forward to you growing up!

That's all for today's lesson, and I am very honored to meet a group of students like you: intelligent, active, polite, generous, knowledgeable and imaginative. The atmosphere of today's class is much more open and natural than I imagined, thanks to your perfect cooperation, thank you! After a successful conclusion, I hope that next time I will have the opportunity to continue to discuss more knowledge with you.

Of course, I also hope that Professor Morgan will recover soon and come back here soon, so that I can write my dissertation with peace of mind.

Eh, it seems like it's tangled, haha, thank you again!

Let's all stand up, and ask the old gentlemen, professors, and senior lecturers in the back to go first, thank you, thank you for your hard work!

When she picked up the lesson plan clip and was about to leave the class, the bell rang at this time, and Shen Xinyue bowed gracefully to thank her. The classroom resounded with a rare long applause, friendly and warm, with great encouragement and appreciation.

Shen Xinyue watched the judges all leave the classroom, turned around and smiled, expressing her gratitude.

She stepped out of the lecture hall, leaving behind a joyful and noisy mixed classroom.

In the evening of the same day, the class evaluation was announced. The jury's conclusions came out, and the announcement was roughly as follows:

In terms of content, the female teachers were well prepared. Although the expression is a little apprehensive, I need to look at the handout from time to time, and I can hear slight fluctuations in the tone and timbre, and occasionally the pronunciation of some words is not accurate enough, the point of view is not very mature, and the self-confidence is insufficient, which needs to be improved. But the overall effect of the two classes is still very successful.

The average score is 9 points satisfied, and you can continue to retain the substitute class. And I hope that after graduation, I can sign a contract to teach in the resident Holy Angel.

And the children generally gave a perfect score of 10, especially the boys. The girls seem to be more sensible and a little more peaceful.

Because at the end of the speech, her voice was a little hoarse, and she coughed several times in the middle of her summary statement and swallowed saliva several times. Luqiu Muwei and Du Xianyi, who were sitting in the front row, also handed over a bottle of mineral water to the rivers and lakes for emergency relief. It looks obviously more restrained, and it is not as natural and vivid as the first substitute teaching.

The young and jerky teacher Shen ended today's literary appreciation class with a sense of relief, and she sincerely thanked the children for their strong support in the forum of the school network after class. I took the initiative to approach the children between classes, left WeChat messages with each other, and set up various small groups, hoping to learn more privately and discuss together in the future.

"The unexpected benefit of the appreciation class: a large magnesium aluminum parachuted into the air. 》

The news spread quickly through the school network, and then attracted many children who skipped classes to audit, including boys and girls of all grades.

From then on, the god of sleep will not sleep in the literature appreciation class, and he has also begun to take notes seriously, complete reading, and turn in after-class homework such as discussion topics, mind maps, and genealogy of character relationships on time, and has even been selected as a wonderful example many times, showing in public and commenting on in class, which is really a rare spectacle.

In the afternoon of the next day, after dinner, the lunch break was in the classroom of the second class of the second year of high school.

Wei Wei'an took the initiative to ask Kevin Zhao next to him: "Hey, Shen Meinu's pen thinking homework, have you come up with it?" ”

Kevin swiped his phone and shook his head, "Not yet." ”

Vivian proudly showed off: "Cut, I've thought about it a long time ago." ”

Kevin looked sideways and said, "You, really? ”

Vivian: "Well, don't you see who I am?" ”

Kevin nodded, "You're not alone. ”

Vivian: "you, scold me again?" ”

Kevin: "Stupid, compliment you." ”

Vivian understood in seconds: "Then, who else?" ”

Kevin pretended to be mysterious: "Secret, you talk about yours first." ”

Vivian: "It's not easy, my answer is: yes." ”

Kevin thought for a few tenths of a second: "Well, that's kind of interesting." ”

Vivian laughed: "Of course. I finally passed, I finally passed, did you pass the test? Is it a word with the opposite meaning? ”

Kevin gave a thumbs up: "Genius, impressive." He vigorously recalled an answer given by his sister when he came home on the weekend, which seemed to be a "Tao" word, but he didn't pay much attention to the phone conversation between her and Qi Guan Langyue at that time, and only cared about playing games by himself.

Kevin: "Actually, I originally thought of one, but unfortunately it's nothing compared to yours." ”

Vivian: "It's okay, I never dislike it, tell me about you." ”
