The term grandmaster, in the basic definition of the Internet dictionary, refers to a person who has achieved extraordinary achievements in a certain professional field and is respected and can be regarded as a teacher.

Often such figures not only have extremely high professional achievements, but also can bring forth the new, start a sect, and make great contributions to the inheritance and development of this field.

For example, Gu Kaizhi of Chinese painting, Huang Daopo of textiles, Sun Lutang of martial arts, etc., can all be called a generation of grandmasters.

Li Shi repeatedly checked the origin of the word "grandmaster" and found that it first appeared in Zhuangzi's work "Zhuangzi Inner Chapter - The Sixth Great Grandmaster".

He found this classical Chinese text, which seemed a little obscure to ordinary people, and repeated it in his heart twice.

"Those who know what the heavens do and what people do, the most! Those who know what the heavens do are born by heaven; Those who know what people do, who use what they know to nourish what they know, and who do not die in the middle of the road all their lives, are the prosperity of knowledge......"

A classic is a classic.

He read through the full text of "Zhuangzi" when he chose to study "Chinese", and he still feels very touched when he reads this selection again after a few months.

In addition to the feeling of the content of the article itself, there are also feelings about my own life.

"It feels like a long time has passed, it seems that several years have passed all at once, in fact, it has only been a few months, but my life has changed too much, in just a few months, whether it is the external living environment, or my own physical and mental cultivation, it has been turned upside down."

"And in the past few months, I have been immersed in learning most of the time, swimming in several different oceans of knowledge, which has also lengthened my subjective feelings about the passage of time."

"If you're focusing on one project, it might feel like time flies, but I've moved on to six projects."

Li Shi sighed a little, collected his mood again, and continued to think about the question of "grandmaster", he thought about it, and began to look for relevant papers on Zhuangzi's famous work, and soon, he found several papers that he was interested in on the paper website.

"Zhuangzi. The title of "The Great Master" is dialectic, written by Deng Hui and Zhou Rong ......"

The black MPV was speeding on the highway, and Li Shi seemed to forget the environment he was in, immersed in one paper after another.

While reading, you understand.

At this time, his (proficient-) level of Chinese plays a crucial role.

From a comprehensive point of view, the meaning of the great master in the text can also be understood as "master of the great sect" - to learn from the most respected teacher.

In the eyes of Zhuangzi, the sage, the most respected teacher is the "Dao", the "Supreme Man" who understands the laws of the universe, knows the laws of human nature, and understands the whole field.

"This ......"

Li Shi thought about this, and suddenly felt that the "Great Grandmaster" in Zhuangzi was so much like the ultimate learning goal planned by the learning panel!

"The Great One, the Extreme, the Quanye, the Supreme Master, the Great Grandmaster, can't it be understood as the Grandmaster of the whole realm?"

"Moreover, if you look at the problem with developmental eyes, then you have to have the eternal grandmaster on the timeline, after all, you have to understand the laws of the universe and the laws of human nature, this ...... It's hard to imagine. ”

Thinking divergently, Li Shi was a little stupid and dizzy for a while.

"I can't mess with it, I can't afford to mess with it."

"Fortunately, even the ultimate learning goal of life evolution is far away, and now, I only need to think about what the first grandmaster learned."

"Well, it's the mortal grandmaster on the current timeline, after all, 'I' is the benchmark for everything."

Li Shi came out of his own world, first glanced out the car window, and the signs on the side of the highway were speeding past, reminding him that the Shiba service area in front was about to arrive.

The journey to Jieyang is already halfway there.

He turned his head to look at Lu Congwei and Chen Yao, who were already asleep.

Lu Congwei was even snoring.

Li Shi couldn't help but smile, everyone slept late last night, and got up early today, they don't have such good physical fitness as themselves.

He was about to turn his head and continue to ponder about the Grandmaster, when his gaze suddenly fixed on the back row.

When Chen Yao was asleep, he held the bear in both hands and hooped it up.

Three seconds later, Li Shi retracted his gaze very gentlemanly, turned around, and smiled at the corner of his mouth.

"Boss Chen is not only strong in business, but also strong in other aspects."

He picked up his phone, created a new document in the memory card, and typed in the title: "Analysis of Learning Directions"

The learning items that can support the birth of a grandmaster, whether it is knowledge or skills, must be a major category, so he directly considers it from the perspective of the general category:

1. Strengths Learning Programs (Gifted or Learned): Chinese (Excluded), Literature (TBD), Photography (TBD), Driving (TBD), Running (TBD), Painting (TBD), Cooking (TBD), ......

2. Interested study projects: Photography (to be confirmed), History (to be confirmed), Geography (to be determined), Calligraphy (to be determined), Swordsmanship (to be determined), Linguistics (to be determined), Film (to be determined), ......

"Any column, there are dozens, this is not subdivided, just a large category of learning directions."

"I have to make a decision before I learn to sketch (proficient-), in that case, I have a long-term plan, see if I can break it down into small categories, and lay out the study in advance."

Looking at so many learning items on the screen of his mobile phone, Li Shi thought for a while and felt that some more considerations should be added, such as the difficulty of the learning project itself, and whether it is relatively easier to cultivate a grandmaster, and so on.

He thought about it, clicked on the Bihu app, and began to post questions continuously:

Historically, which field has produced the most grandmasters?

Whether it is the East or the West, which art field is the easiest to produce a master?

In the materialistic modern society, is there still a soil for grandmasters?

……

Li Shi changed his angle, sent more than a dozen questions in a row, and then kept inviting people to answer.

He had also asked questions on Zhihu before, and he knew that in fact, these questions did not necessarily attract many people to answer, and most of people's answers were useless words.

"Although there are many talents among the majority of netizens, they should still cast a wide net."

So, after he finished his busy work on Bihu, he went to Tieba, Hupu, Baidu Know, Tianya, Toutiao, Weibo and other platforms to continue to post and ask questions.

The reason for studying before, he has registered accounts on these platforms, which saves a lot of trouble.

"Now the biggest traffic is actually video platforms, especially short video platforms, but unfortunately this kind of platform is not suitable for asking questions."

Li Shi suddenly remembered that he took a photo of his watch the day before yesterday and posted it on Douyin and Station B, he raised his eyebrows slightly, first turned the volume of the mobile phone media to silent, and then turned on Douyin.

The software is full screen, and I immediately found that the "message" bar flashed with a red number: 59!

There's a play.

Li Shi hurriedly clicked on "News", and then saw a row of unread messages, except for the system reminding him that there were a lot of video interactive messages, the rest were all private messages from strange netizens.

"Hey, handsome guy, get to know each other and make friends."

"Tuhao, is your watch a real watch? It can't be a copycat, right? ”

"Hey, I'm Ou Meiqu, let's chat."

"Table?"

……

Li Shi glanced at it, there were at least forty private messages, both men and women.

He found the video he posted before and watched it, and the video has 26,000 views, 935 likes, and 77 comments.

Click on the comment area -

The most praised comment is: Is it possible to eat soft rice and receive gifts for millions now, alas, why is there no rich woman who has taken a fancy to me, and the green water ghost who has worked his wrist for more than ten years to buy is suddenly not fragrant (crying to death)

……

Li Shi couldn't help but smile.

He doesn't care about the envy, jealousy, and doubts of netizens, but he just thinks that this platform and videos can get so much feedback, which shows that the user activity is indeed relatively high.

"If you post a video in the future, you can use it as your first choice."

He went to station B again and found that although the data of station B was better than Weibo, it was also very bleak, similar to a single machine.

"It may be that there are differences in the push mechanism of several platforms and user groups."

After ten minutes, Li Shi reopened Bihu and looked at the question just now, and there was no surprise that there was no answer at present.

He invited another wave of people to answer before exiting, and then crossed out all the software in the background, staring at the list on the document "Analysis of Learning Directions" and continued to be in a daze.

"In addition to reading the answers of netizens, when I return to Nanhu Province, I will also collect information in person, and try to choose an optimal solution that combines talent, strengths, learning difficulty, etc."

"Sketching is not so easy to get (proficient-), there is still time, put it for now."

Li Shi was just about to look at the tablet to study, and the mobile phone that didn't want to put it in his pocket for a few seconds vibrated again, and when he took it out, he saw that it was Qiao Qiao, who he only met yesterday.

"Mr. Li, did you go to Jieyang with Sister Yao to participate in the public market?"

Li Shi typed back while pressing the tablet boot button: "Yes, we are already on the way." ”

Qiao Qiao: "I just heard that Sister Yao went to Jieyang to participate in the public market, so I guessed that you also went together, sure enough, it's a pity, I originally thought of inviting you to try our snacks and delicacies today." ”

Li Shi smiled, temporarily put the tablet on his lap, found the local folder where the study materials were collected, and continued to type on his mobile phone while scribbling to find the documents he was going to read: "It's okay, I will definitely go to Pingzhou, there will be opportunities in the future." ”

Qiao Qiao seemed to be waiting for Li Shi to reply, and as soon as the message was sent, she immediately replied with a long one: "Actually, I have always wanted to travel to Nanhu Province once, especially to Tanzhou to drink the very popular tea on the Internet, as well as eat flavored shrimp and stinky tofu, but unfortunately for various reasons, I haven't gone until now (pouting)"

Li Shi's hand pulling the tablet couldn't help but stop.

After a second, the corners of his mouth twitched, a smile appeared, and he replied: "Then next time you are free, go to Ya, find me when the time comes, and I will take you to eat." ”

"Really? Then next time I go, I'll be looking for you (Happy)"

"No problem."

He should make a good-looking and eye-catching friend, as for whether he will make a deep friendship, it depends on the chance.

After chatting with Qiao Qiao for a few more words, he didn't pay too much attention to it, put away his mobile phone, and found Michael Sullivan's "History of Chinese Art" on the tablet.

Michael Sullivan, a Canadian, British art historian and sinologist, was the first Westerner to systematically introduce Chinese modern art to the Western world in the 20th century, and is known as the academic master of contemporary Western Chinese modern art history research, also known as "Marco Polo in the field of 20th century art".

When Li Shi was looking for professional books related to aesthetic art history, he was very surprised that the work of a foreign scholar was actually known as one of the best primers on Chinese art history", so he went to check the information of this Sullivan, only to find that this scholar had come to China in the 40s of the 20th century, engaged in museum and teaching work in China, not only married a Chinese wife, but also had close contacts with Chinese painters Huang Binhong, Zhang Daqian, Wu Zuoren, Ding Cong and others.

Li Shi decided to read this book because he wanted to see how a Western scholar interpreted Chinese art from the perspective of a Western scholar.

It is also from another perspective to continue to improve my aesthetic literacy in art.

Art learning is never simply about learning basic skills.

"Chapter 1, the Dawn of History and Civilization ......"

After arriving at the residence in Jieyang, it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and the group looked for a restaurant to eat, and hurriedly went to apply for bidding qualifications, and then went to the venue to see the goods.

This time, the public market is very large, and it is advertised that there are a total of three or five billion worth of stones.

Li Shi followed Lu Congwei and Chen Yao to study, and Chen Yao also took a video with her assistant in the middle, he paid special attention to it and did not appear on camera.

It was busy until the evening before arriving at the Jieyang State Guest House.

This is the place recommended by Chen Yao, she often comes here, saying that this hotel is one of the few good hotels in Jieyang, seven or eight kilometers away from the Yudu Exhibition Center of the office, eighteen or nineteen minutes by car.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Li Shi was shocked by the quaint archway of this hotel.

I don't know, I thought it was a scenic spot.

After walking in, I found that the decoration resembles a Chinese garden, and the chairs in the lobby waiting area are all precious wooden circle chairs.

After checking in, Li Shi came to his room, took a shower, and was about to go out to meet Lu Congwei and them to have dinner together, but before he went out, Chen Qiuye sent a WeChat message over.

When Li Shi saw it, she was a little surprised, she actually posted a photo.

However, the woman in the photo is not her, but Wang Yuelan.

Before I could take a closer look, the second message came again: "Little brother, I found that my sister-in-law's figure is really good, and it is not worth my life to be fascinated." ”

Li Shi saw the text and was stunned for a full ten seconds before clicking on the photo above to enlarge it.

In the photo, Wang Yuelan is wearing a gray square-neck knitted suspender dress, the kind that tight-fits the hips, which is called "stepmother skirt" by some LSP on the Internet.

This kind of skirt is particularly slim, revealing Wang Yuelan's superb figure, especially the perfect waist-to-hip ratio, which is very charming, and the skirt is a square neckline, the front placket is wide open, and it is difficult to hide the invisibly confronting the charming depth, and the snow-white skin makes people unable to take their eyes off.

Her whole person looked like a peach that was juicy enough.

It's drooling.

"This?"

Sorry for the late update.
