The sun is not a gong or a candle(扣槃捫燭)

 

(Su Shi) is the most outstanding writer and poet in Chinese history.

 

He wrote an article to a good friend of his.

The general idea of ​​this article is as follows.

 

There is a man who is born blind. He has never looked at the sun.

One day, he asked his two friends.

 

Can you tell me what the sun looks like? Can you take a specific object to let me feel the sun?

 

A friend handed him a gong and told him.

The sun is like a gong. The shape of the sun is round and its color is yellow.

 

He picked up the gong and knocked it. The gong made a loud sound.

He said.

It turns out that this is the sun, and the sound made by the sun is like this.

 

Another friend said.

The sun is like a candle, it emits light and emits heat.

 

He picked up the candle, touched it, and said. It turns out that this is the sun, and the shape of the sun is long and thin.

 

Su Shi went on to write in the article.

Why do I want to tell this story, because I think truth and knowledge are very abstract, and all people have different understandings of truth and knowledge.

 

We shouldn't just listen to what others say, and then treat the opinions of others as our own.

We should study hard by ourselves, and we should objectively understand truth and knowledge rather than subjectively imagine and guess.

 

When we learn any knowledge and truth, we should not talk about theories, but should practice and verify it by ourselves.

 

The meaning of this idiom reminds us that we cannot rely on one-sided understanding to recognize the truth.

Confucius, when he heard others point out his mistakes, he would be very happy to say to this person, thank you for reminding me, this gave me a chance to improve.

 

Because of his behavior, many people in later generations respect him.

 

But now many people don't know this story, and most people get angry when they hear others point out his mistakes. I think this mentality is like a person who is already sick, but this person has been evading reality and not going to the doctor.

If there is a father, there must be a son. (有其父必有其子)

 If there is a father, there must be a son. (有其父必有其子)

 

During the Han Dynasty in China, one of the descendants of Confucius was named (Kong Fu). He wrote a book. This book records the words and deeds of some prominent and well-known figures in his family.

 

An interesting story is recorded in this book.

 

The name of Confucius' grandson is (Zi Si). He was talking to a friend of his once. This friend is a famous philosopher, his name is (Yin Wenzi).

 

(Yin Wenzi) said.

One thing has bothered me recently.

 

(Zi Si) asked.

What happened?

 

Yin Wenzi said.

My son does not look like me, and the point is that his personality, interests and preferences are completely different from mine. I suspect that he is not my biological son.

I suspect that I am cuckold so I want to divorce my wife.

 

Zisi said.

According to this logic, I think that several famous emperors in ancient times are all cuckold.

 

Yin Wenzi said.

This is impossible.

 

Zisi said.

If you look at the historical records, these emperors are very smart and capable, but their children are very mediocre. So I infer that these emperors are all cuckold.

 

Yin Wenzi was silent.

 

Zisi continued.

Because of the relationship between genetic inheritance and the environment, a child's appearance, personal interests and preferences are mostly similar to those of his father.

 

But we should remain humble, because the wonder of the Creator exceeds our imagination.

Every child's looks, personal interests and preferences are unique, so even if they are completely different from their father, this is not surprising.

We should respect God’s gifts for different children

 

Yin Wenzi said.

What you said is right, I can't refute it, I won't divorce my wife.

 

The meaning of this idiom is that if there is a father, there must be a son.

 

Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts did you have after hearing this story.

Do you respect the differences of each child? Do you require your child to be like you?

I hope this story will give you some new gains
