Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 421 Elementary School and College

Looking at the sky, Wang Xiaolie said: "What is the most difficult thing about opening a military academy? One is to have teachers, and the other is to have teaching materials. When we wanted to build a military academy two years ago, we didn't have these. In the middle of the year, generals at all levels paid attention to the selection of suitable talents during the reorganization, drills, and wars in the army. Today, the military academy can finally be opened. There are two main sources of teaching materials. One is ancient and modern Chinese and foreign All kinds of military books and formation maps. Collect them with all your heart, and they can barely be used. There is another one, that is, actual wars. Learn wars from wars, and summarize wars from wars. Collect these experiences and teach them to students.”

After a pause for a while, Wang Xiaolie said: "There is a question of what is the main thing between these two religions. Let me emphasize here that the experience summed up in our wars is the main thing, and military books and formation maps are supplemented. Misunderstanding. Some people may think that military books and formation maps have been handed down for a long time, so they must be more valuable. I don’t comment on their value. But for us, as an army, the most important task is victory, not victory. Familiar with military books. Based on our experience, it is the closest to actual combat."

Seeing the astonished expressions of many people, Wang Xiaolie didn't take it seriously.At this time, Wang Xiaolie doesn't need to consider other people's opinions, just arrange it according to his own intention.This is what identity does.It doesn't matter if others don't understand, just do it.

Wang Xiaolie said again: "When guarding the Kaifeng mansion, Zong Liushou once gave Yue Fei the formation map. Yue Fei said: "The formation is followed by the battle, and the art of war is the same. The use of it is in one mind. This sentence is very correct. I have been thinking about it." , How to teach this skill is how to use it. After teaching this, instead of just teaching you the art of war and some military common sense, you can truly train excellent generals in batches.”

This is the most important role of the military academy.Entering the military academy is to truly grow into a qualified officer, not just to learn some military knowledge.If you have learned knowledge, you must know how to use it reasonably to be considered qualified.

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaolie considered for a while.Cai Dao: "In China, we divide learning into primary school and university. Primary school is enlightenment, which generally refers to children. In fact, not only children, but also many people are enlightened at a very old age. One of the characteristics of primary school is that it emphasizes reading and memorizing, and does not require What do you understand? There are many enlightenment textbooks, and the meaning is not clear."

"But universities are different. There is a book called "University", which records the words of sages and sages. We don't care, what we are talking about today is not a book, but a method of learning. What I think University is different from elementary school. You can’t just read, just memorize, just memorize the knowledge you have learned. Instead, you should focus on using it.”

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaolie pointed to Jiang Min behind him and said: "Some people are born smart, and they can remember it once they read it, and they can't forget it with a photographic memory. Like the Jiang Min behind me, he is only 16 years old. He was born in a farming family and was only 15 years old. Enrolling in school. It only takes three months to memorize the books that my husband will teach for two years. There is nothing for my husband to teach. In the end, I have no choice. As soon as I go to school, I let him stand outside and waste time. It’s time In the military academy, it took less than half a year to memorize the textbooks and formation diagrams. At that time, there was no regulation on how to teach in the military academy. There was no other way but to let him work in the Zhenfu envoy. While studying, he practice."

Hearing this, Jiang Min behind him was a little embarrassed.These days, Jiang Min has been staying under Wang Ruohai's subordinates, doing some chores.Since there is no formal secretary in charge, I will also do some related work.

Wang Xiaolie said: "Like this, is it considered that you have learned it? Of course not. You just learned the books and memorized them, and it is still far from being able to use them proficiently. Let me say, this is the way of learning in elementary school, isn't it? Learning for adults."

"How should adults learn? There are many answers to this question. There are different content, different stages, and different methods. In military schools, I think, it should be a combination of theory and practice. Use theory to guide practice, and in practice Correct the deficiencies of theory. Use the revised theory to guide practice, and continue to revise in practice. This process is not terminated and must continue.”

"Why? Some people will say that the theory that has been revised is not correct. Why should you learn the incorrect theory? Why not learn the absolutely correct theory? I want to say that there is no absolutely correct theory in this world .All theories have their limitations, and the correctness is only temporary. Learning these theories can solve practical problems, so learn. However, the theory is not absolutely correct and cannot solve all problems, so it must be revised all the time. Unless this problem It is no longer important to us, and there is no need to learn."

This is related to a fundamental philosophical question.Is the world knowable?Is there any absolute truth?The answer to this question involves many things.For example, practice is the only criterion for testing truth, isn't that right?For example, will the rational world of European philosophy really exist?Since there are too many issues involved, it is not necessary to go into detail.

Wang Xiaolie said: "What is the truth of the world? We often talk about the way of heaven. The way of heaven is all-encompassing. In other words, the way of heaven at least contains the absolute truth. Can people know the way of heaven? To be honest, people don't God, it is impossible for people to know things that geniuses know. The world we know is always partial and incomplete. Theories summarized from this partial world do not match reality, which is normal. As we With the expansion and increase of understanding, it is normal for the previous theory to be incorrect. Summarize the theory, carry out practice, find that the theory is incorrect in practice, and propose a more perfect theory. Practice again, find that it is incorrect again, and revise the theory again. Constantly cycle."

In this continuous cycle from practice to theory, theory to practice, then to theory, and then to practice, it can be found that the truly correct theory can never be found.So can human beings discover the truly correct theory, or in other words, discover the truth?Another rule is that quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.In the process of quantitative change, the truth cannot be found.However, if the quantitative change reaches a certain level, it will lead to a qualitative change, so that is not necessarily the case.

Therefore, an idealist should know that his ideal will never be realized.But you can't give up your ideals just because your ideals can't be realized.An ideal is like a star, guiding people forward.Maybe you will never be able to touch that star, but with the guidance of the star, you are on the right path.Until you come to the end of the road and find that your goal is not the stars.This is the road of starlight, the ideal road.Keep going, not to reach the stars, but quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.

Wang Xiaolie said: "I think primary school is to read and memorize some knowledge. No matter how familiar you are, you don't know how the knowledge came from and what is the use of it. Or if you know where it comes from and what is the use of it, someone else will tell you. The so-called university must have practice. In practice, the theory is constantly tested and revised. New theories are put forward and new practices are carried out. Without practice, it is just a child's play, and it cannot be taken seriously."

Has human society evolved from a slave society to a feudal society, to a capitalist society, and then to a socialist society?This is the five-paragraph theory put forward by Comrade Iron and Steel based on European experience.The key here is the experience of Europe, which sums up the history of Europe.Except for Europe, it should not be applicable.To take this as truth is to make a great mistake.

Wang Xiaolie said: "So the study in the military academy should be carried out according to this. After entering the military academy for three months, it is elementary school. You learn some common sense in the army and learn how to be a soldier. After three months, you will be a university. According to the textbook , According to the content taught by the teacher, combined with practice. While learning, practice at the same time. The knowledge taught is not qualified, but the ability to fight and apply the knowledge in practice is considered qualified."

Seeing everyone looked at a loss, Wang Xiaolie didn't say much.Not only them, many people did not understand what Wang Xiaolie said.What does it matter?Someone will write down Wang Xiaolie's words and say them over and over until they become common sense.

Faculty articles, with a lot of philosophical content.The content of philosophy is not complicated. In fact, philosophical problems are very simple.But simple questions not everyone can figure it out.Most of the practical mistakes are when people deviate from the laws of philosophy.

These questions don't really need a long discussion.In Zen Buddhism, there is a slap in the face and an epiphany, which roughly means this.
