People are not born knowing, who can have no doubt? When people encounter difficulties, it is really an effective way to seek solutions or answers from books. But is it really a good idea to copy the book completely? Can we really trust books completely?
At all times and in all countries, books written by wise men and sages are vast and contain all kinds of profound truths. Searching and exploring from books is simple, quick, easy to use, very convenient and practical. Reading the Analects of Confucius makes people know how to be polite and courteous, and cultivates the noble quality of "the benevolent loves others". By reading Han Feizi's idea of self-discipline and selflessness, we can understand that it will bring peace and stability to the country's policy of governing the country. Reading "Zhuangzi" can make you relaxed and carefree, and explore the beauty of nature and simplicity in the world …
However, no one is perfect, and there will always be shortcomings in their theories. Confucius' law-abiding is certainly worth advocating, but the feudal "loyalty to the monarch" should be discarded; It is good for Mo Zhai to work hard for the interests of the people, but it must also abide by social rules and order; Shang Yang laid the foundation for Qin to unify the world with the rule of law, but he never paid attention to the fatigue of the people. Zhuangzi did not fight for it, but lacked the passion and motivation to promote social progress. We can't trust the thoughts of the sages, let alone believe them all. Wang Yangming, a great scholar in the Ming Dynasty, was determined to become a saint when he was young. He refuted the "law of things" advocated by Zhu at that time, and it was the most appropriate to treat people rationally.
Zhao Kuo, the general of Zhao, liked reading The Art of War since he was a child, boasting that he was familiar with the tactics of soldiers and elephants. Every time he talked with people, he was eloquent and gushing, but he lacked the test of practice and theory. Finally, he was defeated by Changping and handed over Zhao's inheritance since riding and shooting, leaving a joke in history.
Once, a famous mathematician Hua published a new book, which has a high reputation in academic circles and should be very convincing. But a math teacher questioned this and boldly pointed out the mistakes in the book, which caused an uproar. Later, it was proved that Hua's theory was indeed wrong. The behavior of the math teacher is a typical example, which shows that it is better to believe in books than to have no books. He doesn't believe in books completely, and he doesn't blindly follow everyone, which embodies the attitude of dare to question and pursue truth.
In the new era, as students, we should learn to think, dare to question, and don't think that what is written in the book is correct, and what the predecessors said is the truth. You can't blindly trust books, and you can't take it for granted that what you already know becomes an obstacle for you to infer the unknown. If you believe in books, naturally there will be no new discoveries, let alone innovation, and society will stagnate. "Trust in books is better than no books" is regarded as an innovative spirit. Innovation is not only the driving force for the development of a country and a nation, but also the quality that every one of us should have. Only by learning to question and be brave in innovation can we constantly open up new horizons in the future development.
You can't believe the book, but you can't believe it all. It is better to believe in books than not to have them. The real "trust in books" is to closely combine book knowledge with personal reality. We learn from the original "books" and creatively use the knowledge in books in combination with the actual situation, so as to gradually integrate and make the past serve the present.
