Chapter 59

If you take yourself as the center, there are three axes in space, the first is up and down, the second is front and rear, and the third is left and right. You don’t need to learn the first two, but “left and right” is a relative concept. The two sides are just symmetrical, and there is no reference point for comparison, which causes some people in life to be confused about the concept of left and right...

This is discussed in a popular science article called The Spectacle of Life, which not only analyzes the establishment of the left-right concept, but also attaches some popular science survey results, which roughly record the proportion of people of different ages who are left-right indiscriminately, and explain the reasons for the indiscriminate left-right Discussion was carried out... Although in the end, it was not clearly pointed out what caused the indistinction between left and right, but it also gave Xu Yan a lot of inspiration.

"So it is!"

Xu Yan's eyes flickered, and he muttered to himself.

This thesis gave him great inspiration and opened a new door for him.

He knew before that Jiang Danian was not really indiscriminate between left and right, but it just took a certain amount of time to react. At that time, he didn't understand the reason. Now that he read this paper, he suddenly understood.

The concept of left and right is different from that of up and down, front and back. It is necessary to determine a reference point before they can be distinguished. The concept of left and right is usually established at the age of five or six. At this time, teachers will teach children to write with their right hands. The concept also has a reference object, through comparison with the reference object, so as to distinguish between left and right.

First distinguish left and right, and then as you grow older, in countless times of discrimination, a kind of reflection is formed, and there is no need to go through conscious thinking anymore. Only then can you really distinguish between left and right.

Of course, not everyone can form this kind of instinct and reflex. Most people can form this kind of reflex when they grow up, but there are also a small number of people, even when they are adults, they still can't distinguish between left and right.

Of course, there is no distinction between left and right, which is different from the left and right in the childhood era. Children really do not distinguish between left and right, but adults do not distinguish between left and right, so it is impossible to judge right and left at the first time. It takes a period of thinking and reaction. , Jiang Danian belongs to this category.

There are several reports attached to the thesis, one of which was made in 1996. In the report, 2000 people were surveyed, and it was found that 17% of young people aged 29-14 were not divided. Only 6% of people do not distinguish between left and right, and the same phenomenon also exists in women.

People who don't distinguish between left and right account for such a high proportion, which is beyond Xu Yan's expectation. He thought that people who don't distinguish between left and right are as rare as giant pandas, but after reading this report, he realized that it was him. It’s taken for granted that the proportion of indiscrimination between left and right is not only not low, but rather high, but most people don’t care about it, and many people don’t even know that they don’t distinguish between left and right, because it doesn’t have a big impact on life, and they need to distinguish When you are left or right, you only need to think silently for a few seconds, unless it is a specific group of people, the soldiers who are engaged in the queue are in this row.

Jiang Danian doesn't distinguish between left and right, and belongs to a certain group of people, so unfortunately he was regarded as a typical example and became the laughing stock of the Xinbing Company.

After digesting the information in his mind, Xu Yan couldn't help but frowned. Although the ratio of left and right would decrease sharply with age, it was useless because he didn't have time to wait until Jiang Danian is 60 years old, so he has to find another way.

His eyes flickered, Xu Yan couldn't help looking at Jiang Danian's bed, but unexpectedly found that he was not on the bed, he raised his eyebrows, and said in surprise: "It's Da Nian, why haven't you come back yet?"

Hearing Xu Yan's question, Yuan Guoqing glanced at him in surprise, seeing that he was not pretending, and then said: "He was stimulated by your words, and he is still practicing turning left and right on the playground!" He sighed softly. , said regretfully: "Hey, Da Nian is the hardest-working person I have ever met, but unfortunately, his talent is really too low, and he was born with a muscle..."

Xu Yan slapped his head, and then remembered what happened before, without even saying hello, he hurried out of the dormitory, and soon came to the playground, only to see Jiang Danian spinning like a spinning top under the dim streetlights. He kept on, and the lights shone on his slightly baby-fat face, showing boundless loneliness and gloom.

Xu Yan's pupils contracted, and he couldn't help feeling regretful. Although Jiang Danian didn't distinguish between left and right, he was very hardworking and had never been lazy. This proved that he also wanted to make progress, and he also wanted to stay in the recruit company. Scolding him must have hurt him a lot.

With this in mind, Xu Yan strode over and said, "What effect can practicing alone have, why don't I help you shout slogans!"

Hearing Xu Yan's voice, Jiang Danian suddenly raised his head, seeing that it was really him, he couldn't help exclaiming: "Xu Yan, you...why are you here?"

"I'm sorry about what happened just now, I shouldn't have scolded you like that." Xu Yan apologized.

Jiang Danian shook his head and laughed at himself: "No, I was stupid."

Jiang Danian's appearance made Xu Yan feel more guilty, and he said loudly: "On the contrary, you are not stupid at all, on the contrary you are very smart."

"Don't comfort me, I know my own affairs." Jiang Danian glanced at Xu Yan gratefully, thinking he was comforting himself.

"I didn't comfort you, what I said was the truth." Xu Yan said aloud, facing Jiang Danian's puzzled gaze, and said: "Yes, you don't distinguish between left and right, but this only shows that your sense of direction is poor That doesn't mean you're stupid."

"Isn't it stupid to be indistinguishable from left to right?"

"Of course, I just did some research and found that the proportion of people who don't distinguish between left and right is not low. 17% of young people between the ages of 29 and 14 don't distinguish between left and right." Xu Yan paused, He continued: "It's unbelievable, and what's even more unbelievable is that these surveyed people are either doctors, professors, or college students, with high IQ and education. Distinguish left and right."

"This doesn't prove that I'm smart." Jiang Danian didn't believe in himself, seriously lacking self-confidence.

"Of course, this is not enough to prove, but didn't you answer the question I asked Luo Yifei before? The breadth of knowledge covered by this question has far exceeded the level of ordinary high school students, but you were able to answer it. , aren't you smart?"

"This can't help me distinguish between left and right!" Jiang Danian said in a low voice, this is what he is most concerned about.

This sentence stumped Xu Yan, but because of his eloquence, when faced with Jiang Danian's question, he couldn't help but be a little short of words, and said sullenly: "I can't!"

"That's still stupid!" Jiang Danian's face became more and more gloomy.

"You can't say that, the indistinction between left and right can only show that your sense of direction is a bit poor, and it doesn't represent your other aspects." Xu Yan persuaded dryly, seeing that Jiang Danian was a little absent-minded, and said: "Actually, indiscrimination between left and right is also true. It is not fixed. The study found that as the age increases, the proportion of indiscriminate left and right will be greatly reduced. The proportion of 17-29 years old is 14%, and after the age of 6, this proportion has dropped to 60%. .3%."

Jiang Danian's mouth twitched, not only was he not encouraged, but he became even more frustrated: "When I am 60 years old, not to mention whether I can tell the left from the right, even if I can really tell the left from the right at that time, the recruits in the recruit company will also be able to tell the difference." Dozens of stubbles have been replaced like flowing water."
