History shows that when learning becomes more and more vain, it is not far from the destruction of the country. When Tang Xuanzong was singing, singing, singing, singing, An Lushan drove him to Chengdu all of a sudden, and he stopped singing. In the Song Dynasty, the empty lecture was mysterious, and the northern nomads went south and drove the Great Song Emperor to Hangzhou. There are a few ambitious people, like Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang, Xin Qiji, etc., they also have the intention to kill thieves and have no power to return to heaven.

Now the acting industry is developing rapidly, which shows that our actors are getting better and better. But what's worse is that acting skills are rapidly infiltrating the academic world: don't come to the real thing, just play "show". To really do learning, you have to climb the lattice and write articles every day; Writing a good essay requires reading a large number of books. Nowadays, some scholars are unable to make such efforts to sink down, so they can only show their existence by constantly "moving" on the surface. Usually there are no decent articles, only constantly on camera, in meetings, and in magazines. It is said that it is a celebrity, but no performance is actually empty. Some of the literati described in Qian Zhongshu's "Siege of the City" are still infatuated. Before forty, in order to survive, it is understandable to think that people should get a job title. But when people are fifty, they should know the destiny of heaven. What is Destiny? It is to do things well and be a man. Your name is associated with your career, not with your business card. An article is your business card, but a business card cannot be printed as an article. To be a person and to do things, we must be down-to-earth.

In today's society, the road left for young people with knowledge is very narrow, and children can only show their own value through examinations. After all, exams are a means, but now they are an end. was admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, and the villagers said that this child was good; was admitted to graduate school, and the villagers said it was good; If you are admitted to the doctorate again, it is time to get some real results, no. What to do? People must have a value to embodiment. It's twenty-eight or nine, and I'm going to take the TOEFL again. After taking the TOEFL test, I still don't see the "level", and if I take the GRE again, I have to score thousands of points, which is a dead person. I was very proud before I went abroad, and I also found a feeling of "being knowledgeable". When you come to United States, you always have to do some real learning, write some good articles, and get some real character. But still really not. What to do? Just in the United States, I studied Chinese culture. Why? By virtue of his coming from China. The reason is also simple: "How can you study China if you don't know Chinese and haven't spent time in China." But after a long time, there are still no good things, and people see the flaws; What to do? No, go back to China. It's over forty, why are you coming back? Studying United States culture in China, why, relying on his return from United States, the reason is also simple: "I don't know English, and I haven't been to United States, how can I study United States." In this way, he became the so-called "expert on United States issues." When I saw my old friend, I shrugged my shoulders and spread my hands, "I just came back from America (United States)." After a long time, I didn't see real research, and I ran to United States in a hurry, and came back and said that I met such and such a big person, and what the big man said, that is, he did not have his own true views and real analysis, as if he was not doing but performing learning. It is no wonder that some netizens think about the future of these "show" talents, and suggest that a "strong" degree be set up above the doctorate, so as not to find the feeling of "doing learning".

The fate of the country cannot be supported by empty words, let alone by the "eight shares". Now some articles have laid out some situations, and then pointed out that there are three possibilities for their development, and the conclusion is that opportunities and challenges coexist. As for how the problem will be solved, it tells you that it will be "to be further observed". It's the same as not saying it. Your house is on fire and your wife asks you what to do, and you say there are three possibilities, okay? The child is lost, and you say that it needs to be further observed, okay? None of this is a no-go. Scholars should also know that the country hated and the collapse of the Great Song Dynasty, and this kind of unbounded learning should bear considerable responsibility for this.

Many people like to talk about beautiful but "no food" empty words. What "peace and rationality", what "world governance", what is the "dilemma" of jumping out of the arms race, what "political globalization", how good, how grandiose, how far-sighted. That was because the missile did not hit their house, but Shao Yunhuan. Shao Yunhuan's father came back and said that "China should be strong", which is very different from what we said in our study, two concepts. If a missile hits our unit or our home at any time, the person will feel different, and he will not talk about it, and he will even have to scold the person twice, because what he sees is a real missile, not a "Wahaha". Yugoslav scholars during the Kosovo War also thought that the war was a joke at first, believing that the United States talked about democracy and human rights and did not dare to really fight them. They walked to the bridge with their target signs, and they did the same as in a movie, and they held anti-war concerts, sang and danced, and when they saw that the missiles they came at were real and could explode, they didn't come out, and no one held up any more target signs.

After Russia's defeat in the war against Japan in 1905, a joke circulated throughout Russia that the Russians used sacred icons against the Japanese in the Far East, while Japan paid tribute to the Russians with bullets. [1] After the birth of China's aircraft carriers, some of our critics seem to be repeating the absurdity of "using icons against bullets", saying that "there is no need for China to rush to have strategically flashy aircraft carriers with more political disadvantages than benefits"[2]. These people have really forgotten Marx's famous saying that "the weapon of criticism cannot of course replace the criticism of weapons, and material forces can only be destroyed by material forces"[3]; They were even more reluctant to think about the ideological connection between Mao Zedong's reminder in 1972 that Wang Hongwen, who had not been working in the Central Committee for a long time, to read the Biography of Liu Penzi in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Mao Zedong to say "I like the rightists" to Nixon in the same year,[4] and Mao Zedong pushed Deng Xiaoping back the following year. Mao Zedong understood that the fatal problem of the Chinese "left" faction at that time was that they only had "holy icons" in their hands and no "bullets", let alone battlefield experience in using "bullets" - coincidentally, these have also become the fatal common problems of today's Chinese liberals.

Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty were both "people who had just experienced the history of the division of the country that led to the endless struggle of the whole world", and with such experience, Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty would have abhorred the empty theories of the feudal liberal "public knowledge" of their time—Sima Qian's person who said this was "no different from eating with his ears", meaning that "this is no different from eating with his ears"[5]—and would have to attack them with the most severe [, and only then would they attack each other with the intention of establishing a new system to end the world". The princes are even more determined to denounce the "trend of history."

History said: Kong Qiu was appointed as the great secretary of the Lu State for seven days to kill the "rebels" - the "Internet expert" at that time Shao Zhengmao [6] Qin Shi Huang "burned books and pit Confucianism", and Emperor Yang of Sui also had the same practice: "Emperor Yang ascended the throne, but sent envoys out of all directions, searched for books in the world and those involved in the Wei Wei, all burned them, and those who were corrected by the officials to death, since there was no way to recover, and many of them were scattered in the secret mansion." ”[7]

[1] "As a result of our repeated defeats on the battlefield throughout 1904 and 1905, General Dragomiv made up a sarcastic joke that later spread throughout Russia. He said: We always want to hit the Japan with icons, but they beat us with shells and bombs; We use icons against them, and they use bullets against us.

[2] "As far as whether China should have aircraft carriers, it is also necessary to calmly and objectively conduct a comprehensive analysis based on China's historical conditions and China's national strategy and goals. Politically, China does not need to prove its status as a great power by owning an aircraft carrier fleet, and China's peaceful foreign policy and philosophy make it impossible for China to engage in "gunboat diplomacy" through aircraft carriers like United States. Strategically, China pursues a defensive strategy, and the ability to send carrier-based aircraft to the coast of an enemy country to compete with an enemy country is not an indispensable capability for China, and the concept of a strategic naval decisive battle with an enemy country in the open ocean is even more outdated. In short, an aircraft carrier is essentially an outdated strategic weapon, and if conditions permit, China will not be in a big deal at all, but it is not urgent, let alone indispensable. Especially at a time when many countries are suspicious of China's rapid development, and there is still a market for the 'China threat theory', there is no need for China to rush to possess an aircraft carrier that is strategically flashy and politically disadvantageous and has few benefits. Of course, the relevant technical assessment and research should not be interrupted. Lin Limin, "Aircraft Carrier: Don't Dare to Say I Love You", World Knowledge, No. 18, 2005.

[5] "Qin was proud and burned the world's poetry and books, especially the historical records of the princes, and ridiculed him. Poetry and books are mostly hidden in people's homes, and historical records are hidden in the Zhou room, so they are destroyed. It's a pity, it's a pity! It is unique to "Qin Ji", and it does not contain the sun and the moon, and its text is slightly absent. However, there are also people who can adopt the power changes of the Warring States, so why bother with antiquity. Qin took the world violently, but the world changed and achieved great success. It is said that the "Queen of Law", why not? It is similar to its own proximity and vulgarity, and it is easy to discuss humility. Scholars are concerned with what they hear, and when they see that Qin is on the throne of the emperor, they don't notice the end of it, and they laugh at it because of their actions, and they don't dare to say, which is no different from eating by ear.
