2016 year , I once provided product consulting services for a customer who did scientific and technological innovation in Shenzhen , I'm glad that customer is developing very well . Walk in the famous Nanshan District of Shenzhen every day , I have some thoughts . On the night train leaving Shenzhen for Shanghai , I was thinking about scientific and technological innovation , At the same time, I found an old article of my own .

2009 year 4 month 7 Old and new

< West tide >, It's a historical essay , The contents are as follows , I'm tired of reading traditional Chinese characters , The text is translated by the author from English into Chinese , It doesn't read very smoothly . Now I finally know that the book price in Hong Kong is very in line with the international market .

Half is the author “ Personally smell ” Of , The second half is the author “ Experience ” Of . The author used to hide from air raids during the Anti Japanese war “ leisure ”, In the absence of light 、 In the void without tables and chairs , Use a pencil and a hardcover notebook that you carry with you , Write such a book “ Autobiography ”. This book is regarded by the author as “ A bit like autobiography , A bit like memoirs , It's also a bit like modern history ”. Among them, there is the author's perspective on society and life , It also reflects that under the collision of Chinese and Western cultures , The violent turbulence of the whole society . Jiang Menglin （1886—1964）, Formerly known as dream bear , Word Zhaoxian , Also known as Meng Lin . Yuyao people in Zhejiang Province . A famous educator . Its people and its affairs ： Work all your life , All by “ Three sons ”, Be a man with Confucius 、 Live with Lao Tzu 、 Act like a devil .

Jiang Menglin's 《 West tide 》 It explains some problems I often think about , The excerpt of the book is as follows

———————————————————————————————————————

Why hasn't China developed natural science ？ Chinese scholars

1 Believe in Yin and Yang

2 Believe in five elements

3 crude and careless , natural

4 I won't do it , Despise physical labor

What Chinese people are interested in is practical things , The use of a thing , More interested in this kind of thing itself .

Chinese people's observation of everything is based on the relationship between these things and people , Has the application value of morality , Artistic value , Poetic , Practical .

Ancient Greek scholars valued reason , Summarize and simplify various scientific principles , I hope to find out these scientific general principles , This process of pursuing general principles paved the way for the discovery of natural law .

The western world includes the official world and the rational world , Develop the abstract power of thought , And train the mind to think correctly and lively . Plato applied the abstract power of thought and correct ideological ability to ethics and politics , Laid the foundation of western social philosophy . Aristotle applied it to the study of the authenticity of specific things , The results laid the foundation of material science .

Two days ago, I saw someone write that China's technology lags behind Japan 20 year （http://qnck.cyol.com/content/2009-04/04/content_2610365.htm    The economic gap between China and Japan has been at least 50 years -- Public opinion channel ）, Mention a few key points

• Japan has mastered the core technology, and what we earn is working money
• The market gave people technology but didn't learn
• Japan has always maintained high investment in scientific research

Inspired by this article , I watched Japanese dramas carefully again 《 Galileo 》, Reviewed many physical knowledge such as resonance and mirage . Think about it again 2007 Personal experience in Kobe, Japan , The guide explained the causes of the earthquake in simple terms . What level is China's science and technology in the world , You know that , I don't need to say more . Someone always says , Knowledge and technology are precious wealth , It is the foundation for a nation to settle down . Science and technology , People with science and Technology , The country with these people , Is the most competitive . I believe that many people will try to start from themselves .

I'm used to seeing many turtles coming and going , They think about Chinese and Western cultures , Wandering in a free life and serving the motherland , Struggle between developed ideas and methods and backward ways of thinking , Choose between change and adaptation .

2022 year , I think you can take a look at Zhong Shuhe 《 Go to the world series 》
