According to Hegel, "reflection" means "understanding knowledge" and "thinking about thoughts". It is an idea that takes itself as the object and thinks in reverse. If we compare "cognition" and "thought" to birds soaring in the rising sun or the clear blue sky in Wan Li, of course, the "reflection" can only take off quietly at the end of the curtain.

Philosophical point of view
Hegel regards absolute spirit as the source of the world. Absolute spirit is not something beyond the world. The phenomena of nature, human society and human spirit are its manifestations in different stages of development. Therefore, the process of replacement, development and immortality of things is the absolute spirit itself.
The task and purpose of Hegel's philosophy is to show the absolute spirit embodied in nature, society and thinking, and to reveal its development process and regularity. In fact, on the basis of idealism, it explores the dialectical relationship between thinking and existence and reveals their dialectical identity.
Around this basic proposition, Hegel established an amazing objective idealism system, which mainly described three stages of absolute spiritual self-development: logic, natural philosophy and spiritual philosophy. Hegel carried out this dialectical principle from beginning to end when discussing the development of every concept, thing and the whole system, which is one of the most amazing bold thinking in the history of human thought.
His works are representative works of German classical philosophy, creating a complete philosophical system of objective idealism, and pointing out that "absolute concept" is the source of the universe and the foundation of all things. The movement and change of the world is the result of the self-development of "absolute concept". He thinks that his philosophy is the highest expression of "absolute concept" and the Kingdom of Prussia is the best national system to embody "absolute concept".
Hegel's philosophy defends Prussian autocracy. In the idealistic philosophy system, he put forward valuable dialectical thoughts, holding that the whole natural, historical and spiritual world is a process, which is constantly moving, changing and developing, and its internal contradictions are the source of development. Marx and Engels critically inherited the rational core of Hegel's dialectics, and combined with practice, they founded materialist dialectics.
Engels later spoke highly of him: "Modern German philosophy reached its peak in Hegel's system. In this system, Hegel first described the whole natural, historical and spiritual world as being in constant movement, change, transformation and development, and tried to reveal the internal relationship between this movement and development.
