When I saw this topic, I couldn't help laughing: fun is all in the known, how can ignorance be fun? Think about it carefully, it really makes sense.
Start with the children. Naturally, children are not as well-informed as adults. They will inevitably ask all the things they are curious about, which will make adults feel uneasy. This "worry" is probably based on two reasons: first, the questions asked by children are too naive to answer; Secondly, most adults can't answer the questions raised by children. Even if they falter, there are more embarrassing questions to ask. So simply let the children go away and even let them read by themselves.
In fact, it is a question that adults disdain to answer. These questions are often common mysteries. We must have asked similar questions when we were young, but when we were young, we felt that those questions were no longer problems, as if everything had been solved. In essence, when we think we know everything, it is actually when we know nothing. If you don't realize this and pretend to understand it, you are really ignorant and have no fun. If you can realize your ignorance, you will have the desire to explore, and then you will know more and more widely. The wider the contact, the more problems you will encounter and the more you will realize your ignorance.
I was curious when I was a child, but I was completely puzzled. I always thought it was mainly about words. When I memorized this book, I realized that the questions raised by Qu Yuan were the same questions that children often asked us, but I no longer doubted that the questions raised by Qu Yuan were just childish questions of children. After all, Qu Yuan is a writer and scholar in our mind, and he certainly knows more than ordinary people. Since Qu Yuan can't know, we naturally dare not be self-righteous.
Later, I couldn't understand A Dream of Red Mansions, so I read it three times according to Chairman Mao's instructions, but I was still in a fog, and even the relationship between the characters was difficult to distinguish. So I wonder if Mr. Cao is interested in making fun of himself. It was not until I read many books about A Dream of Red Mansions that I suddenly realized. I think the more I think I know everything, the more I know nothing; And only when I feel that I don't know anything, will I have the desire to learn. Therefore, ignorance has become the driving force to promote understanding of it. In this process, I feel what is profound. What you can see through at a glance is crystal clear. Although it is easy to arouse interest, there is nothing after interest. Simplicity can produce fun, but what really makes us never tire of reading is that every reading can produce something new, not something at a glance.
Ulysses, the pioneering work of Irish writer Joyce's stream-of-consciousness novel, is a million words long. It is said that he only wrote what happened one day, and Joyce died in despair the next night before he could write it. No wonder his book won't be applauded at first, because no one wants to read it for a long time and still be in a fog. If you throw it away at this time, you may miss a masterpiece. If you have the patience to continue to sit down, just like drinking tea, you will feel more and more fragrant.
Confucius said, "Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is knowing." Not only for writing, but also for being a man. Nothing is more embarrassing than ignorance. The more you know, the more you understand how vast the unknown world is; The shallower a person is, the more he thinks he is great. If you think you know everything, it is not only difficult to make progress in your studies, but also inevitable to show your ignorance in dealing with people. Profound knowledge and an open-minded attitude are the basis of learning to be a man.
Only when you realize ignorance will you have the desire to learn. There is always a feeling that the more things you touch, the more things you don't know, and the greater your desire for knowledge. Just like people who live in mountains and corners go to towns and villages, they are always surprised to find: Wow, Beijing is so big! Then when he returns to the village, he will definitely return to Wei Zhaung like Ah Q and talk about the outside world. In the eyes of villagers, their unknown is that they have never been to Beijing.
Just look at our own life experiences. When we think we read widely, we are just arrogant. Only when I really entered a new field did I realize that there was another green hill beyond the mountain. The more knowledge you have, the more unknown areas you will expand.
There used to be a popular saying: ignorance and fearlessness. Fearlessness can make people reckless and dare to explore; It can also make people feel that Lao Tzu is the best in the world and arrogant. Only by recognizing ignorance, people can constantly look for and see different scenery in the search, and the process itself is full of fun.
I really appreciate a sentence in Linde's Happiness of Ignorance: "Socrates is regarded as a wise man, not because he knows everything, but because he realized that he knew nothing at the age of seventy." No one dares to say that he is smarter than Socrates; On the contrary, when we think we have surpassed Socrates, it is precisely when we need to learn everything.
