"What? Are you looking for me? Sanzang waited for Gao Qi to let go of his hands, looked at his expression of wanting to speak and stopped, and asked suspiciously.

"Hmm...... There are a few academic questions I would like to ask you for. Gao Qi said a little embarrassed.

"Oh?" Sanzang wondered, this was the first time that someone had come to discuss academic issues with him, and he was also a little interested, "Okay, I may not necessarily know the answer to the question you asked, I can only promise to tell you what I know." ”

"You're too modest, look at this...... Why don't you sit upstairs at my house and have a cup of tea, and let's sit down and talk slowly. Gao Qi looked around.

"Okay." Sanzang understood what he meant.

"Eh, please." Gao Qi led the way.

"Your place is pretty basic." Sanzang followed Gao Qi into his room and took a look at the decoration of the house.

"It's okay, everyone's in this situation, after Yueyue moved out, I will live alone, it's quite spacious, third master, you sit here, I'll pour you a cup of tea." Gao Qi pulled out the chair in front of the small desk and stretched out his hand to gesture.

"You don't have to be busy, I'll sit down for a while and leave." Sanzang waved his hand and sat down on the small chair.

"That's okay." Gao Qi went to make tea by herself.

"Boss, why did you get up?" Gao Yue laid the package and turned around and saw Sanzang.

"Your brother wants to talk to me, you continue to be busy with yours, don't worry about me." Sanzang watched Gao Yue standing there motionless, and hurriedly waved his hand.

"Okay."

"Third master, you drink tea." Gao Qi quickly brought a cup of tea.

"Well, you can sit down too." Sanzang took the teacup handed over by Gao Qi and took a sip.

"Huh!" Gao Qi moved a chair at his feet and sat down on the other side of the small desk.

"Let's do a good casual chat between friends today, say whatever you want, don't be so restrained, and besides, this is still your home." Sanzang looked at Gao Qi a little nervous, and hurriedly opened his mouth to dispel his concerns.

"Eh, then I'll tell you the truth, Third Master, didn't you set up a basic research scholarship? The highest prize is 10,000 yuan, and the lowest is 1,000 yuan, I am a philosophy teacher, and I want to do a little basic research, but I don't know how to start, can you give me a little advice? Gao Qi lowered his head and said in a low voice.

"What? Do you also want to be a 10,000 yuan household? Sanzang asked with a smile.

"Hehe, do you look down on me? I'm a university teacher who doesn't do a good job of learning and doing my job well, but I think about something that I don't have. Gao Qi touched the back of his head and smiled embarrassedly.

"No, that's a good idea, isn't the purpose of the scholarship to encourage basic research? I often go on business trips to the West and Germany, and I have a little understanding of their university education, which basically has only two purposes. ”

"Which two purposes?"

"One is to teach to be a man, and the other is to teach to make money."

"It's as simple as that?"

"Haha, this is not simple, this teaching to be a person may be relatively easy for us now, but it may be very difficult for Western society that advocates individual freedom and personal supremacy.

It is even more difficult to teach to make money, our college graduates are assigned jobs, there is no such problem, but Xidu and Dongwei are different, their college graduates have to go out to find jobs by themselves.

This also means that universities have to be responsible for their students, and to educate them to be people with real talents, which is not the slightest bit false, not just a diploma.

Therefore, the academic atmosphere in their university is very strong, and the academic atmosphere is also very positive, encouraging innovative research, and not engaging in those vain things. It's good that you're thinking about making money by researching knowledge right now, so don't worry about it. ”

"So that's the case, I haven't dared to tell others about this careful thought, for fear that others will say about me, after listening to what you said, I can now rest assured and bold to do it."

"That's right, didn't Dante say it, go your own way, let others say go."

"Yes, yes, I also said that I was a philosophy teacher, how could I forget this sentence. Third master, I am engaged in philosophy, and I want to do some research in this area, can you give me some ideas? ”

"Philosophy, this is a big problem, after all, I don't specialize in this, so let's talk about it in a wild way, and don't argue about its rights and wrongs, how much you can gain depends on your understanding, how about it?"

"yes, that's exactly what I want."

"I'll talk about some of my views first, the biggest feature of our local philosophy is that literature, history and philosophy are not separated."

"Literature, history and philosophy are not separated?"

"That's right, the word philosophy came from India, you can't say that we didn't have philosophical ideas before the word philosophy came to us."

"That can't be, Laozi, Zhuangzi, Confucius, Mozi, etc. in the pre-Qin period were all great philosophers."

"That's right, our philosophical works are all literary classics, represented by hundreds of schools of thought, and there is almost no strong dividing line. This is especially true of historiography, which is the specific expression of our literature and philosophy, such as "Historical Records" and "Zizhi Tongjian". ”

"Well, you have a point."

"I am talking about this to show that when we study our own philosophical problems, we cannot simply study philosophy, but also integrate literature and history, so that you can come up with something new."

"Understood."

"In fact, the study of any kind of knowledge, in the end, must focus on the application, philosophy is no exception, we must pay attention to the real application of learning, otherwise there is no meaning.

To give you two examples, our ancestors invented the compass, but we used it to see Feng Shui, while Westerners learned it and used it for navigation.

Gunpowder was also invented by us, we used it to make fireworks and firecrackers, and took it out to show off everywhere, but Westerners learned it but used it to make artillery to hit us. ”

"Well, that's right, but it's so hard." Gao Qi shook his head when he heard this.

"That's for sure, you study philosophy and just study what our ancestors said in a certain place in a certain year and month, and what do these words mean, there are several explanations,

It is of no practical significance, and in the end you can't find anything new, so you must change your thinking and use divergent thinking to combine specific research with other disciplines. ”

"Can you give me an example? Try to illustrate. ”

"Well, I'll give you an example of studying history, and you can try to understand his train of thought."

"You say." Gao Qi cheered up.

"Do you know the rate of rise and fall in our history?"

"I know a little bit, since the Qin Dynasty, there has not been a great unified dynasty that has lasted more than three hundred years."

"Yes, there are many reasons, there are many studies by experts and scholars from all walks of life, and there are various answers given, but we will not discuss this today. Mr. Zhu started by studying climate change and made an astonishing discovery. ”

"What amazing finds?"

"He found that the end of the great unified dynasty in our history was the coldest time of that period."

"But does this have anything to do with the demise of the entire dynasty?"

"Of course there is, and it's the culprit, because once the climate becomes extremely cold, the nomads in the north will not be able to survive, and they will want to run to the south to get a little warmer, and go to the south to grab it.

In the face of this threat, the Central Plains Dynasty had to strengthen its military force and increase taxes to increase fiscal revenue, but at the end of the dynasty, the tax source was already very small, and the common people were already because of the cold weather, various natural disasters were frequent, and the crops failed.

It is already difficult to live, and this tax increase will make it even more impossible to survive, so you can only choose to rebel, so that no dynasty can survive under the internal and external difficulties.

Similarly, when the Great Unification Dynasty first emerged, the climate would become warmer, the crop yield would increase greatly, the population would increase, and the tax sources would be abundant and the military force would be strengthened, and the Central Plains Dynasty would be able to push back. ”

"If that's the case, then a lot of ideas will have to be torn down and rebuilt."

"That's right, so whether it's historical research or philosophical research, you need this kind of divergent thinking to connect a lot of unrelated things."

"I understand, our own philosophy has been studied for more than a thousand years, and it has long been thoroughly studied, and if we don't push through the old and bring forth the new, it is a dead end."

"That's right, the Renaissance in the West was essentially a redefinition and a new soul into ancient Greek culture, which served the entire Age of Discovery and colonialism.

Now that we have completed the de-attachment to the United States and the Lu country, it is the time to take our own new path, and we need to come up with new things to enhance cultural self-confidence.

Otherwise, sooner or later we will have to be affected by the dross of Western culture. If you can really come up with something new philosophically, that's amazing. ”

"I'm afraid it will take a decade or two to find out."

"One or twenty is one or twenty years, when you have a good topic, come to me, I will sponsor you, in case you win the first prize, you will have 10,000 yuan, almost up to your ten-year salary."

"Then I'll have to think about it, think about it." Gao Qi gradually fell into deep thought.
