To the south of Tianfu Province, Zhejiang Province.

A large province with a population of tens of millions.

The smoke and rain are hazy, the river is a net, the two banks are red and green, fluttering and sprinkling, and the boats in the river are also reflected in a crimson color.

Two scholars in school uniforms sat at the front of the canopy boat, and the stern man shook the oars.

The canopy boat is one of the characteristics of Gangnam.

The hull of the boat is narrow, the canopy is low, the board is supplemented by straw mats, or the bottom of the bed is designed in a concave shape, sitting on both sides of the boat, swaying, it has become a unique landscape in Jiangnan.

"Boatman, in recent years, there have been fewer such boats on the river."

The reader asked with a smile.

"Now there are more big boats, small boats are not popular, and there are more jobs, young people either go to big factories or buy big boats by themselves, and when we are old, we just carry some tourists and mix up some life."

The boatman said with a smile.

"Two gentlemen, please see, whether it is a merchant ship or a cargo ship or a ferry on the river, it has become a big ship, and who will use a small boat to do business."

"I see."

"That's what market demand has brought about."

"It should be."

"A way of economic development, as various needs evolve and cannot be met in the old way, will promote the creation of new, more effective tools."

The two readers discussed.

The boatman at the stern of the boat listened quietly, these college students of the country like to travel by boat.

"In the past, small boats could meet the needs of the market, and people only needed to live on the transportation volume of small boats, but now the market demand is large, so large ships have value and can bring greater benefits."

"In fact, from another point of view, it is also a way to promote social productivity, the more ships, the faster the flow of materials, this process is to increase productivity."

The two of you said a word, from east to west, and from west to east, and the boatman at the stern could not interject.

"Click, click."

On the railway bridge, there is a train coming in there.

Ships pass under the bridge.

Soon after.

Arrived at the destination, the location of Zhejiang Guozijian.

The highest university in the Ming Dynasty, Guozijian, has reached four universities by Guozijian in Beijing and Guozijian in Beiping, and newly established Guozijian in Zhejiang and Guozijian in Guangdong.

The paved road is bustling on both sides, and there are many vendors.

"Poof."

More than a dozen young people with bare arms jumped off the river, swimming hard, and the slogan "Zhejiang Guozijian Water Swimming Competition" was hung on the bank, and there were many onlookers.

"Okay."

"Hard."

Companions cheer on their classmates.

The person who swam in front of him was two figures ahead of the second place, and the distance between them became larger and larger, and he won the first place without any suspense, which was cheered by the people.

The man had long arms and legs, like long bamboo poles.

After going ashore, he took the towels handed by his partners, dried himself, and then put on his clothes, and people came to congratulate him.

It's just a student-organized event, which is not grand.

There are many activities like this.

Children who have been studying since the county school are encouraged to participate in various activities from an early age, and they are enthusiastic about these events.

Everyone had a smile on their faces.

A lot of female students came to the girls' class, standing on the shore generously and applauding the male classmates.

The economy determines the superstructure, including individuals.

Chung Hwa Heavy Industries uses a large number of female workers.

In some positions, female workers are more efficient than male workers, especially in Zhejiang, women's economic status is much higher than that of the rest of the Ming Dynasty, relying on the silk industry, textile industry and other industries, the status of women in Zhejiang is not low.

Therefore, it is not surprising that after redevelopment, new ideas were born here in the late Ming Dynasty, such as the equality of men and women, and the right of women to study Taoism.

"The literature on animal classification in the Western Han Dynasty and before in China includes "Erya", "Lü's Spring and Autumn · Eight kinds of books, such as "Viewing Watches", "Examination of Work Plans, Ziren", "Zhunnanzi: Shi Zexun", "Spring and Autumn Dew: Five Elements of Rebellion", "Dadai Li Ji, Yi Ben Ming", "Zhou Li, Diguan, Tuhui", "Rites, Yuehe", etc. ”

"The order in the book is arranged according to the formative period of the classification of research and discussion documents, only the five articles of "Erya" animals, "Interpretation of insects", "release of fish", "release of birds", "release of beasts", "release of animals" list the actual species of many animals, without much explanation, only a slight transfer of their content, it can be seen that it is classified according to the four categories of insects, fish, birds and beasts."

"The other books have only class names, few explanations or examples, although there are annotations from the ancestors, but they are difficult to believe, and they must be carefully studied and discussed in order to understand the names of the major categories they use."

On the podium, a researcher is making an academic report.

Most of the audience were students from Guozijian, and there were some interested scholars.

Scenes like this are no longer a special case in Guozijian, and they are often seen as an ordinary phenomenon.

The researcher's report is not outstanding, and in order to make a name for himself, he chose to come to Guozijian to make a report and get help for his rating in the future, so the researcher spoke very carefully, for fear that someone would object.

"Whether the name is the same is synonymous, and whether the name is different, now let's start with "Erya", because it has specific content, and it appears the earliest, and it is a better classification."

Researchers highly respect Erya, and on the basis of Erya, classify all kinds of organisms and promote his taxonomy.

If all the people of the country had accepted his taxonomy, then his writings would have become the basis for a great deal of significance, even if not for money, but for the sake of this posterity, and researchers would have worked hard.

Halfway through the meeting, some scholars were already leaving.

This is normal.

Not everyone is interested.

"Table of academic reports, I'm not interested."

As soon as he left the hall, a doctor spoke, but his companion next to him said: "Only when you have a surface can you find and discover it, and study it thoroughly." ”

"There are so many things in the world."

The doctor sighed with emotion: "I only hate that I was born at the wrong time, if I am born fifty years and one hundred years later, I believe that the truth in the necessity has been greatly popularized by that time. ”

"Haha."

"You're in love."

"You envy future generations, how can future generations not envy you, you can see from the outside, living in the era of great discoveries."

The two had an ideological discussion around science.

According to the latest standard article published in the Technical Newspaper, science is called three stages, as the person who just gave the report said, the rational synthesis of real experience, the unambiguous expression, and the verifiability of empirical facts.

"His taxonomy is nothing more than an appearance, and even if he obtains an unambiguous solution, it is only a table."

"The real experience of magnets, our ancestors have even used them in medicinal materials according to their own experience, but in it, no one says it is transparent, but it is just a fuss on the table."

"Why they attract each other and why they reject, I have studied it for more than a year, but I don't have a clue at all."

"Self-humility is a good thing, and excessive self-humility is easy to mislead people for pride."

"Do you think I'm a little smug?"

The man could only smile and comfort: "Your research on the magnet has published several reports, which can be described as a success, and how many people envy it." ”

"You don't understand."

"Fame and fortune are things outside my body, what I seek is the avenue, and what I am most afraid of is that when I die, I still can't figure out the avenue, which is what I am most afraid of."

The scholar's face was full of chagrin.

Because his research was confused, he couldn't find a direction at all.

The experience of the table has run out.

The literature of the ancients also did not provide him with new ideas.

The road ahead was like a cliff with no way to go, and he felt very painful, and the thirst for knowledge made his life even more painful, for fear that until the day he died, he would not even be able to figure out the clue.

A decade of great discoveries.

The participation and contribution of countless people can be said to be the period of emergence of the table, the experience and surface phenomena of various materials, which can be discovered by the naked eye and recorded through writing.

It's not a problem.

The ancients had a large amount of literature, which can allow future generations to have an in-depth understanding and obtain a comparison of actual experience.

But with the in-depth study of many things, some people smile bitterly that it is now a dark age, because they don't know where their Tao is, they don't even know if they can find the Tao, and they can't even find the direction of the Tao.

Fellow scholars do not fully understand.

Their research directions are different, most of them have a large number of tables to study, and only a few of them have reached the point of studying, and most people's pursuit of the Tao has not reached the point of selflessness.

"Real experience, this is the opposite of mere speculation."

"It is a minimum condition of science, because when necessary, only the empirical facts that constitute real experience can be examined and re-examined, repeatedly observed, and reproduced and re-observed in the same way."

"For example, ten years ago, the Golden State launched a drug testing campaign."

"Those ancestors relied on imaginary prescriptions, and after testing, they found that they could not work, while some prescriptions, after a lot of testing, could indeed have medicinal effects, which is the difference."

"But things are not static, what kind of people are these medicinal prescriptions suitable for, and what is the avenue contained in them."

"Today, I believe that people have reached a consensus that at least in terms of appearance and incomprehension, those imaginary and unfounded descriptions will not be accepted and absorbed."

Scholars flip through technical newspapers.

When he returned to his room, his heart was numb.

Oh, yes.

Where is the way?

Looking at a room full of materials, he had tried all the methods, but he couldn't even touch the door, and he was still a university scholar praised by others, which was really ridiculous.

The world is amazing.

It turns out that there are so many unknowns, and people can't sit in a well and watch the sky.
