Wang Yan was struggling until there were only 30 seconds left.

The main reason is that the two books have their own advantages and disadvantages, which are actually not the best choice.

If there is still time, Wang Yan would rather choose a book called "Junior High School Mathematics" or "Physiological Hygiene"...

reason?

Understand thoroughly enough!

The system clearly reminds: get rewards based on your perception.

No matter how great the Tao Te Ching is, the understanding is one-sided and the perception is childish, the reward standard is definitely not high!

No matter how bad it is, it is better to bring "The Legend of the Federal Reserve" in. At least I have read it through it. Even though there are still many difficult things to understand, it is better than catching up now.

However, it is a pity that the National Library is not allowed to bring its own books in. For a moment, Wang Yan could not find a familiar book.

So there is no way, you can only choose one of the two existing ones.

After thinking about it over and over again, when there were only 5 seconds left, Wang Yan gritted his teeth and grasped the "Tao Te Ching".

"System, confirm reading the books!"

The Tao Te Ching is much more difficult to understand than the Song Ci Selection, and it is not at the same level, but Wang Yan must choose this way.

Because Wang Yan is very clear about what this book means.

Simply put, it is the supreme treasure of Chinese civilization.

To enlarge, it is the supreme treasure of human civilization.

The great and the great way is simple. If you read the two sutras thoroughly, you can be called a master.

Of course, Wang Yan doesn’t want to read one of them thoroughly now, and doesn’t even want to read it very much - it’s too early.

But since there are rewards, then read the best one!

The simple pragmatic thinking is completely in line with Wang Yan's background and experience, so it's decided.

The system starts timing immediately.

[Insight time is turned on, countdown is 59 minutes and 59 seconds]

Wang Yan didn't dare to delay any more and immediately opened the book.

The first sentence is what most Chinese people are familiar with, "Tao can be told, extraordinary Tao, name can be named, extraordinary name."

Below are the comments.

There are many versions of "Tao Te Ching" and time is tight, so there is no time to pick it up. Wang Yan got the "Notes on Wang Bi Laozi". After just one look, his head started to hurt.

[The way that can be told is the name that can be called refers to the form of things, which is not the same as it is. Therefore, it cannot be said, it cannot be named]

My dear brother!

If you make notes but not well, what classical Chinese are you doing?

I don’t consider whether I can understand the melon criticism like me?

Wang Yan's scores in ancient Chinese are not bad, but he is at the level of an ordinary high school student. It is really hard to understand the annotations of this style.

Once you grit your teeth, you simply put aside the annotations and read the original text directly.

It is impossible to give up, so I have to work hard and understand what I can be like!

As soon as Wang Yan's unyielding spirit came up, he immediately abandoned all selfish thoughts and devoted himself to reading and understanding.

It's very difficult and very difficult.

For example, Chapter 2—

"Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beautiful, but this is evil; everyone knows that goodness is good, but this is bad. There are no things that are born, the difficulty and ease are formed, the length and the short are formed, the height and the bottom are filled, the sound and sound are harmonious, and the front and back are followed."

Wang Yan didn't understand the first sentence, and he didn't get a little gain until he thought through the second sentence and looked back.

"The existence and non-existence are mutually generated, the difficulty and ease are mutually formed, the length and short are in line, the height and the bottom are full, the sound and sound are harmonious, and the front and back are in line" is about comparison.

Existence and non-existence arise from mutual opposition, and difficulty and ease form in mutual correspondence.

Use the current buzzword to describe it - [No comparison, no harm], [all shortcomings are compared]

Looking back at the first sentence, Wang Yan roughly understood it.

Everyone knows beauty because of ugliness.

Everyone knows goodness because of badness.

Incisive!

So, this is the earliest dialectical idea in China, a comparison theory?

With Wang Yan's strength, he could only understand this level, but he was still deeply inspired.

Everyone knows that life is not easy to live in poverty, which is why materialism is born and licking the rich.

The reason why modern society is prevalent is because... wait, it's wrong!

Pretending to beep is not popular in modern times, but has existed since ancient times.

For example, Xie Lingyun wanted to pretend to be big after drinking too much, so he opened his mouth and said, "The talent in the world is one stone!"

Everyone was surprised, but Xie Lingyun is powerful and has a high status. Everyone has to listen to his words!

Next, the next sentence is to praise the idol: "Cao Zijian is so powerful!"

OK, Cao Zhi was really awesome back then, and everyone has to hold back whether they accept it or not.

The last sentence, play with meat.

Xie Lingyun raised the wine bottle, drank it all, and laughed to the sky. (There should be an emoticon package here)

"I have to have a dou, and I have to share it since ancient times and the present!"

The audience was confused.

...

So, pretending to behave is human nature.

Wang Yan was thinking about it all the students in high school who looked down on him when he went back during the winter vacation. He was a little childish, but he was extremely natural.

The so-called "achieving a better self" is partly for survival, partly for material enjoyment, and further up is for spiritual satisfaction.

How to satisfy?

Compare with similar types!

I am more handsome, smarter, richer, kinder, more contribution to society and naturally satisfied.

Some beeps are dressed openly, while others are pleasant to watch secretly, but in general, they are all compared and contrasted.

Maslow's hierarchy of needs, respect needs and self-realization at the advanced stage, the core essence is one sentence—

I have to pretend!

Although most of the time, I don’t want to wear it, I must have the right and ability to wear it at will!

When comparing with others, I am excellent and outstanding, and respect will naturally come.

Self-realization means simpler: I am so excellent, and my talent cannot be wasted. Come on, let me seek some benefits for you, those of you who are not so outstanding, and make some contribution to social progress!

Look, the statement is a bit rough, but is the truth correct?

Wang Yan felt it was right.

Then, with a "ding" sound, the system prompted a sudden incident.

[When you read the Tao Te Ching, you understand the true meaning of pretending, achieve your reading goals in advance, and get a reward]

Wang Yan was completely confused.

What the hell?

I have only read two chapters, and I just want to divert my mind, and it’s all over?!

Should I be so sloppy?

Wang Yan is bullying that the system does not have intelligence. If it had intelligence, it would have been a big deal long ago.

How dare you say I'm sloppy?

After reading the "Tao Te Ching", you can actually think of pretending, and it's so confusing. How desperate are you creating it?!

However, the system has no feelings, so not only did not scold me, but also gave an extremely rare answer.

[The host's understanding of comparison has reached the limit of the content of this sentence in depth. Although the idea is not high and a little narrow, it is enough to trigger the current highest-level reward]

When he heard that it was the highest level of reward, Wang Yan immediately had no objection and put the book together and looked at the panel happily.

【Extraordinary Style】

【Entitled card, 3/3 times used】

[When you want to pretend, you can summon an ancient king who once wrote annotations to the Tao Te Ching to possess it and obtain the corresponding aura and style]

【Duration: 10 minutes/per time】

[Please choose Wang Bi, Song Huizong Zhao Ji, Zhang Daoling]

Seeing those three names, Wang Yan was shocked.

The one who is most unfamiliar is Wang Bi, but this book "Tao Te Ching Notes" has an introduction, and he is indeed a peerless talent with extremely high standards.

Not to mention the remaining two, they are familiar.

If these three opportunities are used properly, anyone will be beaten up...
Chapter completed!
