Copernicus, a great Polish astronomer, liked to ask questions when he was a child. He is full of curiosity about the world and often pesters his parents to ask questions: Why does the sun always rise in the east and set in the west? There are so many stars in the clear night sky, why don't they disappear during the day? Why does the chicken come out of the egg, not from the hen's stomach ... Copernicus's unremitting exploration of scientific mysteries later began with these strange "why".

Rich people with mineral water in Tian Jiabing

A reporter accompanied a teacher from a donated school to meet a donor. At the airport, everyone bought mineral water to quench their thirst. Just after a few sips, the plane arrived and everyone threw away their mineral water. At this time, they saw the monopoly get off the plane, holding something that seemed to be an empty bottle-there was only a mouthful of water at the bottom of the bottle. Monopoly talked and laughed with everyone after getting off the plane. With the shaking of his hand, the mineral water made a slight sound until he got on the car to pick him up and didn't throw away the bottle. When there was water in the car, someone handed him a bottle, but he waved. He didn't put down the bottle until he drank the last sip of water left in the bottle and took the bottle full of mineral water. This millionaire is Tian Jiabing, a famous Hong Kong industrialist and philanthropist. In the past 20 years, he has donated 6,543.8 billion yuan to charity.

Song Lian braved the heavy snow to visit the teacher.

Song Lian, a famous essayist and scholar in Ming Dynasty, was fond of learning since childhood. He was not only knowledgeable, but also wrote excellent articles, and was praised by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, as the "head of the founding civil servants". Song Lian loves reading very much, and those who don't understand always get to the bottom of it. This time, in order to find out a problem, Song Lian walked dozens of miles in the snow to consult Ji Meng, a teacher who had stopped accepting students, but the teacher was not at home. Undaunted, Song Lian visited the teacher again a few days later, but the teacher didn't see him. Because of the cold weather, Song Lian and her companions were freezing, and Song Lian's toes were frostbitten. Song Lian was rescued when he fell into a snow pit during his third solo visit. When Song Lian almost fainted in front of the teacher's house, the teacher was moved by his sincerity and patiently answered Song Lian's questions. Later, in order to gain more knowledge, Song Lian visited many teachers and became a famous essayist.

Zuo Si Li Zhi

Zuo Si, a writer in the Western Jin Dynasty, read Zhang Heng's Fu for Two Cities when he was a teenager, and was deeply inspired. He is determined to write Sandu Fu in the future. Lu Ji couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing, saying that it was a joke for a vulgar person like Zuo Si to want to write such a masterpiece. Even if it is painstakingly written, it must be worthless and only suitable for making jars. Faced with such humiliation, Zuo Si made up his mind. He heard that Zhang Zai, a writer, had been to Min and Qiong (present-day Sichuan), so he visited for advice many times to get familiar with the local mountains, rivers, products and customs. He visited extensively and collected a lot of materials, and then devoted himself to writing. There are papers and pens everywhere in his room, beside the fence and in the toilet. As long as he thinks of good words, he records them and revises them repeatedly. Zuo Si worked hard for ten years and finally finished Sandu Fu. Lu Ji was surprised and admired, so he had to give up.

Ji kang

"Glug, Glug ..." Did you hear the crisp sound of iron impact? The breeze blows on the face, the strong muscles exude the breath of life, and the blazing fire cultivates noble sentiments. Ji Kang, the hero of this era and a generation of talented people, lived a blacksmith's life here. Like everyone else, you have high expectations of him, but do you dare to persuade others to be an official? Have you forgotten Dear Dan Tao (Mountain Residence)? The sonorous words have declared his disdain for official career to everyone, so let him be himself, and let the "seven sages of bamboo forest" live the life of "singing under the leaves", "drinking in bamboo forest", "boating in winding water" and "picking chrysanthemums in Nanshan" forever, and don't let the worldly breath cover up the delicate fragrance of chrysanthemums.

Maybe this is the true meaning of life. No matter what others expect, they will pursue what they think is right, freedom, loftiness, dignity of life and heroic quality, put aside others' expectations and discouragement and move towards their own understanding.

Wang Guowei

In Wang Guowei's cultural life, the most profound stroke is his death. About his death, Zhao Wanli's Chronicle of Mr. Wang Jing 'an has the following records: "On the second day of May, I read papers and wrote a suicide note. Have a good sleep as usual. Rosty Yi (i.e.1June 2, 927) washed his hands for dinner and went to the research institute to see things as usual. Suddenly, he took five fake silver cakes from his friends out of the school gate and hired a car to go to the Summer Palace. Go to the front of Yun Xuan Xiyu Algae Garden, the stream is independent, and a cigarette is finished. The gardener saw it once, but suddenly he heard the sound of falling into the water and ran to help. He died in less than two minutes, and it was just right. " Generally speaking, it can be speculated that Wang Guowei's death was not only an active choice, but also very calm, just like going out with an old friend, without the slightest excitement. It is this calmness towards death that marks Wang Guowei's unique position in the coordinate system of cultural history. He didn't die of specific current events, but most likely he died of disappointment with his cultural spirit and despair of some irreparable defects in China culture. From the view of history, his death not only did not stick to some specific current events, but also transcended individual life; He used death to isolate himself from the degraded culture-he saw that if * did not die, the spirit would definitely die, so only the death of * could bring about spiritual immortality. This is his great sobriety and wisdom. At that time, I was afraid that only a few people who felt the same way saw through this.

Confucius

Confucius is the founder of Confucian school. Over the years, many people think that the characteristics of Confucianism are conservative and conservative. It regards ancient times as its golden years, and only pays attention to "Wang Zhidao first" without paying attention to the changes of things, while Confucius is a pedantic pedant. In fact, Confucius, who was faithful and fond of the past, made a new interpretation of the classics based on his own understanding of morality and Bai Ji's expectation of the times. He not only takes "benevolence and righteousness as a mountain" as the moral standard, but also sends out the emotional singing of "the deceased is like this" which has been sung by wise men of all ages. He not only explained "change" poetically, but also practiced, accepted and transformed his soul with practical actions. If he was afraid of "change" and didn't believe that things could be updated, he wouldn't have become a soul engineer or the first professional teacher in China history. As a philosopher of China, he is unique, because his "change" is a silent and natural process like the growth of all things. In his mind, the ideal development is not to cut off the traditional silk thread, but to be based on tradition and grow endlessly like a tree in the mountains.

Xu Jialu owes his students half a class.

Xu Jialu is a master of exegetics in China today. Although this subject is very obscure and boring, due to his rigorous scholarship during his teaching at Beijing Normal University, more than 200 students took this course in one semester, and Yu Dan, a talented woman of Beijing Normal University who is famous for telling The Analects of Confucius, is one of them.

When talking about Mr. Xu Jialu, Yu Dan said something fresh in his memory. Xu teacher came to the classroom early, and then stood there for 50 minutes. With one exception, he came into the classroom with a dignified expression. After talking for more than 20 minutes, he said, "I'm really sorry, classmates, I can't go on today." Because Mr. Lu Dasong is dying, he is the teacher who benefited the most when I was in college and the second biography of Zhang Taiyan. I must go there at once. In this case, I stand here in a daze. I can't go on, so I have to owe my classmates half a class. I'll find a chance to make it up later. "Say that finish, Mr Xu left. Yu Dan said that after xu teacher left, the students all cried. Everyone can understand Mr. Xu's feelings. He didn't want to delay our class, so he didn't adjust the class and insisted on giving us classes. However, his feelings for the teacher made it difficult for him to persist.

Qu Qiubai's wit.

In the early 1920s, Zheng Zhenduo got married in Shanghai, and the bride was Gao Junzhen, the daughter of Gao, a veteran of the Commercial Press. The wedding adopted the most fashionable "civilized wedding" ceremony at that time. According to etiquette, both parents of the married person must affix their personal seals on the marriage certificate to show their loyalty. The day before the wedding, Zheng Zhenduo remembered that her mother had not printed the letter, so she wrote to Qu Qiubai to handle it for a rainy day. On the same day, I received a reply from Qu Qiubai, but there was no stationery, only a piece of "Autumn White Seal Engraving", which read: "Lithography is two yuan per word, and you can get it once a week. Time-limited dispatch, double embellishment. The side section is almost two yuan, not counting words. Tooth seal, crystal seal and bronze seal are discussed separately. " When Zheng Zhenduo saw it, he thought it was an excuse that Qu Qiubai was too busy to carve, so he made others worry. The next morning, when the wedding was about to begin, someone sent a red wedding gift package, which read: "Mr. Jindo and Ms. Junzhen got married and gave 50 yuan as a gift. Qu Qiubai. " There is no cash or gift certificate in the wedding bag, only a tripartite Shi Tian seal. One party is Mrs. Zheng's; The rest are the bride and groom. Mrs. Zheng's single chapter is slightly larger, the bride and groom are combined into a pair, and the word "Changle" is engraved on the side to congratulate the newcomer Changle Yongkang and grow old together. Zheng Zhenduo and Gao Junzhen are both from Changle County, Fujian Province, and their meanings are both puns. The three chapters are exquisite and elegant, and the master understands the truth of the book "fifty yuan a gift" after enjoying the play. The original three chapters are engraved with the word 12, and the embellishment should be 24 yuan; Double dispatch is 48 yuan; Border currency 2 yuan, hence the name "50 yuan as a gift". Qu Qiubai's unexpected joy added a special festive atmosphere to Gao Zheng's wedding, which became a much-told story for a while.
