Ancient examples to see the essence through phenomena
1, little boy

There is a little boy. One day, his mother took him to the grocery store to buy things. When the boss saw the lovely child, he opened a can of candy and let the little boy take a handful of candy by himself. But the boy did nothing. After several invitations, the boss personally grabbed a handful of sugar and put it in his pocket.

When I got home, my mother asked the little boy curiously, why don't I grab the candy myself and let the boss do it? The little boy answered wonderfully, "Because my hands are smaller! And the boss has a bigger hand, and he must take a lot more than me! "

2. Birds

A bird flies to the south for the winter. It was so cold that the birds almost froze. So, I flew to a large clearing, and a cow passed by and pulled a pile of cow dung on the bird. The frozen bird lay in the dunghill, feeling warm and waking up gradually.

It lay in a warm and comfortable place and soon began to sing. A passing wild cat heard the noise and went over to see what was going on. Following the sound, the wild cat quickly found the bird lying in the dunghill and dragged it out to eat it.

3. Kepler

About 500 years ago, there was an astronomer named Tycho in Denmark. He asked the then King of Denmark for a sum of money to build a laboratory. Tycho went to observe the orbits of various planets every day and recorded them every day. So Tycho observed it for 20 years and recorded a lot of data. However, this data is too much, Tycho spent a lot of time and energy to analyze this data, but found no law.

At this moment, a man named Kepler appeared. Kepler believes that Tycho is observing every day, and each planet will have 365 data in 365 days a year. As a result, there are too many data to be analyzed and processed in the observation records for 20 years. At that time, the data analysis could only rely on manual calculation, which was too heavy.

Kepler said, can you give me a data every year? For example, you can directly tell me where the earth is, where Saturn is, where the sun is, and so on. After 20 years of observation data screening, each planet has only 20 data.

Kepler knew that the earth would return to the same position every 365 days, and then he fixed the position of the earth and analyzed the relative positions of other planets with the earth. Kepler successfully obtained the trajectories of other planets by fixing the position of the earth and analyzing the data of other planets' positions in the past 20 years.

Since then, Kepler found that if the position of the earth remains unchanged, after drawing the 20-year trajectories of other planets, these planets are all orbiting the sun, and their trajectories are all elliptical. In this way, Kepler discovered the laws of planetary motion.

4. Bao Zheng

In the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a mute. Whenever a new magistrate takes office, he will come and offer a wooden stick to provoke the government to beat him inexplicably. This year Bao Zheng took office, and the dumb came to give a stick. Bao Zheng thought, this person must have grievances, otherwise he was beaten every time, why did he come to offer a stick? But this mute can neither speak nor read nor write, and he doesn't know why.

So, Bao Zheng told his men not to hit him no matter how stupid he was. On this day, the mute came to offer a stick again. Bao Zheng asked his men to paint pig's blood on the dumb, pretending to be very hard, and then tied the dumb and paraded the streets. Then he ordered his men to bring it back and ask if anyone complained about being dumb.

Sure enough, when the mute was wandering in the street, an old man shouted injustice. So the old man was taken to the sheriff's hall. The old man said, "This mute is a stone mute in our village. He can't speak since he was a child, but he can hear. His brother Shi Quan swallowed up his rich family property and drove him out of the house. Dumb people complain to the yamen by offering sticks every year, but they are scolded by sticks every year. Today, he was beaten all over with blood, so he cried for the dumb. "

Bao Zheng immediately sent Shi Quan to see the official's son, but Shi Quan refused to acknowledge the younger brother. Bao Zheng's persuasion was of no help, so Bao Zheng thought of a plan in his mind. He let Shi Quan go first, and then taught the mute to say, "If you meet your brother in the future, hit him." The dumb man looked at Bao Zheng in surprise, blinked, shook his head and looked scared. Bao Zheng said: "Don't be afraid, just fight, and this official will make the decision for you."

A few days later, Shi Quan, who was severely beaten, came to complain, accusing the mute of disrespectful manners and beating his brother. Bao Zheng asked: "Of course, your brother can't be lenient when he hits your brother, but if it's not his brother, it's another matter." Shi Quan didn't know it was a scam and insisted, "He is really my own brother."

Hearing this, Bao Zheng shouted loudly: "Since he is his own brother, why do you take the family property for yourself and ignore it?" Shi Quan realized that he had been cheated. It turned out that all this was arranged by Bao Zheng.

5.[ Name] Mark Twain (American humorist, novelist, writer and speaker)

At a banquet, Mark Twain sat opposite a lady. Out of politeness, he said, You are so beautiful! The lady was ungrateful and said proudly, it's a pity that I can't praise you in the same way! Mark Twain said gently and peacefully: That doesn't matter. You can lie like me. The lady hung her head in shame.
