In the past five thousand years, besides offering a humble apology, what other stories are there about error correction?

First, the story of Bai reading when he was 8 years old

Bai was born in a remote town in Inner Mongolia. At the age of 8, my father died unfortunately, and my mother provoked this stormy home with strength and forbearance. Bai, who always gives the impression of unsmiling, was a naughty child when he was a child. He often makes his mother angry and is beaten by her. Bai has to be beaten at least twice a day, otherwise, even he will be surprised.

Being too playful, Bai got poor grades in school when he was a child. On one occasion, Bai's test score was the second lowest in the class. As soon as he got angry, he secretly tore up the posted score sheet.

With the growth of age, the poor family environment has honed Bai's strong character of hard work and courage to meet challenges. Gradually, our grades caught up with Bai.

In the third year of high school, in order to improve his grades faster, he found all the textbooks he had learned and bound them. The first volume of history is more than 600 pages, the first volume of geography is 700 pages, and the first volume of Chinese is 1000 pages. Then, Bai reads 30 pages of books in each subject every day and does math problems. Perseverance, Bai finally admitted to the university.

Looking back now, Bai said with emotion: "The loveliest thing about youth is that there is a lot of time to squander. You can make countless mistakes because you have time to correct them. But when this afternoon tea arrives in your hands, you will know to do the right thing quickly, because there is no time to correct it if it is wrong. "

Second, dare to admit mistakes-Einstein?

Einstein, a world-class scientist, has always felt guilty for his "biggest mistake".

What did Einstein do wrong? ? 19 17, that is, the year after he founded the general theory of relativity, Einstein and Dutch physicist de sitter independently studied this work to explain the stability of the universe. They found that the cosmic solution of the gravitational field equation is dynamic rather than static.

In other words, the universe either expands or contracts. Because of the prejudice of physical intuition and the error of mathematical operation, Einstein never gave up the concept of static universe. In order to get the static solution of the universe model, he did not hesitate to introduce a "universe term" into the equation. This conclusion accords with the cosmological principle at that time and the known observation facts.

However, in 1922, American scholar Friedman found another dynamic solution of this equation; In 1927, Belgian scholar Lemaistre got the same solution independently. From a mathematical point of view, it is proved that the universe is not static, but expands or contracts uniformly. However, Einstein still refused to accept this result and insisted on his view of static universe model. ?

Two years later, according to the observation of distant nebulae, American astronomer Hubble found that the spectral lines emitted by distant stars have a red shift, and the spectral lines of stars farther away from the earth have a greater red shift. This shows that the star is moving away from the earth. Hubble's discovery supported Friedman's dynamic universe model and changed Einstein's view of the universe.

Einstein called the mistake of sticking to the static universe model "the biggest mistake in his life" and withdrew his criticism of Friedman and others. ? Later, on his 70th birthday, he said to his good friend Sollovan, "I don't think any concept in my works is firmly tenable, and I'm not sure that the road I'm taking is generally correct."

This sentence largely contains his mistakes in 19 17. ? A world-famous great scientist can bravely admit his mistakes and humbly review his achievements that have been recognized and praised by the world, which shows that Einstein is realistic and respects science. This is why Einstein was able to achieve great success. ?

Third, can Shen Congwen correct his mistakes?

One morning, Shen Congwen slipped out of the classroom and went to the village to watch a play alone. On that day, the puppet show was The Monkey King Crossing the Flame Mountain. Shen Congwen was very happy and burst into laughter. He didn't go back to school until the sun went down. At this time, all the students went home from school. ?

The next day, as soon as Shen Congwen entered the school gate, the teacher sternly asked him why he was absent from class. He blushed and faltered. The teacher was so angry that he knelt down under the tree and scolded loudly: "Look, this nanmu tree is growing every day, but you just don't want to make progress and are willing to be a worthless dwarf." ?

The next day, the teacher called him again and said to him, "Everyone is studying hard, but you secretly went to the theatre. Although I humiliated you yesterday, it was for your own good. Only by respecting yourself can one gain the respect of others. " The teacher's words moved Shen Congwen to tears.

He secretly vowed that he must remember this lesson and be a respected person. Since then, Shen Congwen has been strict with himself and became a famous writer when he grew up. ?

Fourth, Xu Beihong admitted to drawing ducks by mistake?

Xu Beihong studied in France in his early years, and his character modeling pays attention to realistic expression, especially good at sketching. For Chinese painting, he advocates reform: "Western painting can be absorbed and integrated."

The combination of Chinese and western techniques has formed his unprecedented realistic painting style. ? I heard an old man say that once, Xu Beihong was commenting on this painting at an art exhibition, and an old man from the countryside suddenly came up to him and said, "Sir, the duck you drew is not right. You drew a duck. How can a duck's tail be so long? "

When you look at it, it turns out to be Xu's new work "Writing Dongpo Chunjiang Plumbing Poetry", in which the tail feathers of ducks are curled like rings. The villagers said that drakes have bright feathers and curly tails; The female feather of the duck has a short brown tail, which is wrongly drawn. ? Xu admitted his negligence in sketching, expressed deep gratitude and retired.

Did Su Dongpo apologize to Wang Anshi?

Su Dongpo, a great writer in Song Dynasty, was a bachelor of imperial academy, and people called him Su Bachelor. Su Dongpo is brilliant, his articles are well written and his poems are well written. But no matter how knowledgeable a person is, it is impossible to know what's going on in the world, so sometimes he has to make some mistakes. ?

One day, Su Dongpo went to visit Wang Anshi, the prime minister of the dynasty. The servant of the Prime Minister led him into Wang Anshi's study, saying that the Prime Minister was on a business trip and would be back soon. He asked Sue to have tea later. After waiting for a while, the host didn't come back. Su Dongpo strolled to the table and saw a poem chanting chrysanthemums on the table.

I haven't finished writing this poem, but I only wrote two sentences: "Last night, the west wind crossed the garden, blowing yellow flowers and gold everywhere." ? Su Dongpo couldn't help secretly laughing when he saw it: "West Wind" is obviously autumn wind, and "Yellow Flower" is chrysanthemum, which never dares to face the wind in Ao Shuang, and is the most cold-resistant and freezing-resistant. Isn't it a big mistake to say that the west wind "blows yellow flowers all over the ground"

Thinking of this, Su Dongpo's poems are full of enthusiasm. Unable to restrain himself, he dipped his pen in ink and wrote two sentences in the letter. "Autumn flowers are not better than spring flowers, and they are said to have been carefully sung with poets." ? Su Dongpo put down his brush and stayed for a while. Seeing that his master had not come back, he got up and left. Besides, when Wang Anshi came home, he went to the study and read Su Dongpo's two sentences. He just shook his head and didn't care about Su Dongpo. ?

Later, Su Dongpo went to Huangzhou to be Ying Yong's assistant, and Su Dongpo lived in Huangzhou for nearly a year. On the Double Ninth Festival, there are strong winds for several days. One day, after the wind stopped, Su Dongpo invited some friends to enjoy chrysanthemums in the suburbs. I saw that the chrysanthemum garden was full of colorful flowers, golden and bleak in the west wind.

At this time, Su Dongpo suddenly remembered the continuation of Wang Anshi's poems, and he was dumbfounded and speechless for a long time. He suddenly regretted that he had made a joke in the past and quickly wrote to Wang Anshi to apologize.
