The Anthology of Bacon was written by Francis Bacon, a famous British politician, thinker and philosopher. Bacon's essays are divided into several articles, such as On Knowledge, On Beauty, On Good Thinkers, On Truth, On Health, On Family, On Friendship and so on.
1。 The knowledge in Bacon's essays is the philosophy of strength and life.
Bacon, a British philosopher, firmly believes that human knowledge with the content of mastering the laws of natural development is a great power. He put forward that "human knowledge and human strength are integrated into one" and that "the road of human strength and the road of human knowledge are close to each other and almost the same". Bacon's viewpoint was expressed by later generations as a famous slogan: "Knowledge is power". Bacon's knowledge refers to the knowledge about nature. He pointed out that all scientific and technological inventions "have incomparable influence on the cause of mankind, which is unmatched by any regime, any sect or any outstanding person", because "the benefits of inventions can be extended to all mankind, while the benefits of politics are limited to special fields. The latter will not last for several generations, while the former will last forever. "
2。 Reading history makes people wise, reading poems makes people witty, mathematics makes people careful, science makes people deep, ethics makes people grave, and the study of logic and rhetoric makes people able to contend.
Philosophy of life: talking about the benefits of reading, that is, "learning changes temperament." Reading has three advantages: pleasant mood, rich colors and long talents.
3。 In On Friendship, Bacon said: "If you tell a friend happiness, you will get two happiness;" And if you tell your troubles to a friend, you will be divided into half. "This shows that friends are indispensable roles around us and can add color to our lives.
4。 Bacon said in On Knowledge: "Human nature is like wild flowers and weeds, and knowledge learning is like pruning and transplanting." It can be seen that knowledge can change people's destiny and is very important in our life.
5。 Bacon said in On Doubt: "When you have doubt, you'd better be vigilant, but don't show it. In this way, when this doubt makes sense, you have already made preparations in advance and stopped loving. When this guess is unreasonable, we can avoid misunderstanding good people. It can be seen that suspicion in life is the confusion of people's thoughts.
6。 On beauty. Beauty in form is better than beauty in color, and beauty in manners is better than beauty in form. "
The body is a person's overall image and figure. Color refers to the five senses, mainly the face, which is biased. The beauty of behavior refers to the gesture, which is acquired, the reflection of inner beauty and the highest of the three. No one in the world is perfect, so don't complain about your external defects. Only inner beauty is eternal beauty. Virtue is more important than beauty. Only by combining the appearance of beauty with the virtue of beauty can beauty really shine. There is such a sentence in the article: "Now some people only pay attention to the beauty of appearance and ignore the beauty of inner beauty. Although they are beautiful, they are not worthy of praise because of their lack of elegant cultivation. " Therefore, a dignified, serious and virtuous person who is not luxuriously dressed is awe-inspiring. So, combine the beautiful appearance with the beautiful virtue. Only in this way can everyone shine with real brilliance.
7。 I also learned a lot in On Jealousy. The more you know each other, the more jealous you will be. People can allow a stranger to get rich, but they can never tolerate people around them making all kinds of upward trends. A person who is promoted step by step will not attract jealousy. Because promoting such people is regarded as a matter of course.
Jealousy is the way of life after all, and compassion is always a good medicine to cure jealousy. But how many people can understand the truth in the article?
8。 Life is precious, but love is more expensive. If you are free, you can throw both.
When the human heart is most vulnerable, love is the easiest to invade, that is, when people are proud of the spring breeze, get carried away, get into trouble and be lonely, although the latter may not get love. People are most eager to jump into the flame of love at this time. This shows that "love" is really the son of "stupid". But some people, even if there is love in their hearts, can still restrain it and let it not interfere with important undertakings. Because once love interferes with emotions, it will hinder people from running firmly towards the established goals.
On closer examination, the beauty of form is better than the beauty of color, and the beauty of elegant manners is better than the beauty of form. The highest beauty can't be expressed by the painter, because it is difficult to be intuitive. This is a wonderful beauty. There used to be two painters-Apparis and Diu Lei-who thought it was funny to paint in geometric proportions or to absorb the most beautiful features of different people to synthesize the perfect portrait. In fact, I'm afraid only the painter likes the beauty painted in this way. Beauty can't be standardized, and creating beauty is often an opportunity, not a formula. There are many faces, some of which are not beautiful, but they are very moving as a whole.
9。 Knowledge can be used as a pastime, a decoration, and can also increase one's talents.
Reading can be a pastime when you are lonely. When you speak, knowledge can be decorated. When you act in the world, the correct use of knowledge means strength. Happy is the man who knows the cause and effect of things. Although people with practical experience can handle individual affairs, only by mastering knowledge can they look at the whole and plan the overall situation. Learning too slowly will lead to laziness, studying for decoration is self-deception, and studying completely according to the rules of books will make you a paranoid bookworm.
Knowledge can improve man and nature, and experiments can improve knowledge itself. Human nature is like wild flowers and weeds, and learning is like pruning and transplanting. Practical attempts can test the authenticity of the revised knowledge itself.
Cunning people despise learning, fools envy learning, and only smart people are good at using learning. Knowledge itself does not tell people how to use it, but the way to use it is outside books. This is a skill. You can't learn without doing experiments. Don't read just for criticism and argument, but don't trust books easily. The purpose of seeking knowledge is not to brag or show off, but to seek truth and enlighten wisdom.
10。 "Don't deliberately cross-examine the author when reading" to "ignorant and obvious".
It advocates adopting different methods for different books, such as selective reading, full reading and intensive reading, and combining reading with taking notes and writing to apply what you have learned; It should also be treated separately according to personal temperament and needs.
1 1。 Knowledge: knowledge can be used as a pastime, as a decoration, and can also increase a person's talent.
On love: the love of husband and wife makes human beings multiply. A friend's love helps others. But that kind of dissolute love will only make people degenerate and destroy!
On beauty: virtue is like a gem, but it is more gorgeous against the background. Similarly, a dignified, serious and virtuous person who does not wear fancy clothes is admirable.
Natural abilities are like plants that grow naturally and must be pruned by learning; However, if learning itself does not stick to practice, the direction will be complicated and aimless.
12。 Natural abilities are like plants that grow naturally and must be pruned by learning; However, if learning itself does not stick to practice, the direction will be complicated and aimless.
13。 Knowledge is power. A prosperous scene of "Kaiyuan Shi Sheng" was formed in the history of the Tang Dynasty. In addition to the emperor's enlightenment, the main reason was the full development of science and technology in all walks of life at that time. The country is rich in talents and powerful.
It can be seen that a country's prosperity is inseparable from knowledge.
14。 In On Friendship, Bacon said: "If you tell a friend happiness, you will get two happiness;" And if you tell your troubles to a friend, you will be divided into half. "This shows that friends are indispensable roles around us and can add color to our lives.
15。 Bacon said in On Knowledge: "Human nature is like wild flowers and weeds, and knowledge learning is like pruning and transplanting." It can be seen that knowledge can change people's destiny and is very important in our life.
16。 Bacon said in On Doubt: "When you have doubt, you'd better be vigilant, but don't show it. In this way, when this doubt makes sense, you have already made preparations in advance and stopped loving. When this guess is unreasonable, we can avoid misunderstanding good people. It can be seen that suspicion in life is the confusion of people's thoughts.
17。 In On Jealousy, I also learned a lot. The more you know each other, the higher your jealousy will be. People can allow a stranger to get rich, but they can never tolerate people around them making all kinds of upward trends. A person who is promoted step by step will not attract jealousy. Because promoting such people is regarded as a matter of course.
18。 A good book can make people understand a truth, a good book can make people build a shortcut, and a good book can even change the fate of a person's life! As Bacon said, "Reading history makes people wise, reading poetry makes people witty, mathematics makes people careful, science makes people profound, ethics makes people solemn, and the study of logic and rhetoric makes people eloquent".
19。 In our life, friends are indispensable roles around us, and they add color to our life. When we encounter difficulties, friends are a reliable pillar that we can rely on; When we fall, friends are crutches to help us stand up and tell us, "Stand up from where we fell!" " "When we want to give up halfway, friends are memos to remind us to stick to it; When we succeed, a friend is a dictionary, teaching us what to do next, and always telling us "don't be arrogant in winning, don't be complacent in losing". A friend is someone who can talk to, rely on and ask for help. We should cherish all our friends around us. They are not only a role, but also our mentors and friends.
20。 When people are most vulnerable, love is the easiest to invade, that is, when people are proud of the spring breeze and get carried away.
When you are embarrassed and lonely, although the latter may not get love. People are most eager to fall in love at this time.
In the flames. This shows that "love" is really the son of "stupid". But some people, even in their hearts.
Love can still restrain it, so that it does not interfere with major undertakings. Because once love interferes with emotion, it will hinder people's firmness.
Run quickly to the set goal.
I don't know why, many soldiers are more likely to fall in love, perhaps just as they love drinking.
Because a dangerous life needs more joyful compensation.

Bacon: Learning Essays
Don't seek enviable wealth, but pursue such a state: just acquire wealth, use it soberly, give it happily, and give it up contentedly.
Bacon: essays on wealth
In all great undertakings, people should look at opportunities like a thousand eyes before starting to do things, and seize opportunities like a thousand hands when doing things.
In all great undertakings, people should observe opportunities like a thousand eyes before starting and seize them like a thousand hands when proceeding.
It is extremely important to be good at identifying and timing. In all great undertakings, people should observe opportunities like a thousand eyes before starting to do things, and seize opportunities like a thousand hands when doing things.
When you feel angry and depressed when you encounter setbacks, telling your close friends once can help you get guidance. Otherwise, this stagnation is disgusting. As the saying goes, people are always willing to keep the greatest flattery to themselves, but the harsh advice of friends can cure this problem. Friends can give advice from two aspects: one is about conduct, and the other is about career.
It is a great loss to pay too much attention to behavior norms and forms, so as to miss career opportunities.
Time is the standard to measure a career.

love
Love on stage is much better than love in life. Because on the stage, love is only the material of comedy and tragedy, but in life, love often brings misfortune. Sometimes it looks like a seductive witch, and sometimes it looks like a vengeance.
You can see that none of the truly great figures (whether ancient or modern, as long as their fame is forever engraved in human memory) are crazy about love. Because the great cause suppressed this feeling of weakness. Only Antony and Claudia of Rome are exceptions.
