Now that the question has been raised, how should we answer it?
Why?
Because earthworms belong to invertebrate annelids and have no bones, they are hermaphroditic animals and are fertilized by cross-fertilization.
The movement of earthworm depends on the mutual contraction of longitudinal muscle and annular muscle and the coordination of body surface bristles, and on the coordination of body wall annular muscle, longitudinal muscle and bristles.
In nature, earthworms generally live in the upper fertile soil, and the lower the soil, the less earthworms there are. Only by digging holes in the deep moist soil and feeding on organic matter such as litter in the soil can they survive.
The philosopher Xunzi said: "Earthworms have no claws and strong bodies, but they can eat and drink graves because they are single-minded;" Crabs have six feet and two pincers, and' not the cave of snakes and eels, nothing to pin on' is because of impetuousness. "
These are only one aspect of the problem. Xunzi praised the "earthworm's single-minded and industrious heart" and belittled the "lazy heart that impetuous crabs can't even build a humble abode", so he came to the conclusion that "earthworm's single-minded heart is commendable and crab's impetuous heart can't be imitated".
In fact, on the other hand, earthworms "eat soil and drink yellow mud" and crabs "have nowhere to rest unless they are snake holes", which is the innate instinct of animals we don't know.
Therefore, the innate instinct of animals and plants in nature is the invention teacher of human beings.
In fact, the philosopher Xunzi's understanding and truth of life in his thought of "encouraging learning" is itself a kind of "wisdom" and a kind of "philosophy".
What is the innate instinct of "animals and plants"?
Is the innate "instinct" of "animals and plants" philosophy?
The word "philosophy" does not exist in China. The word "philosophy" came from Japan in modern times.
In fact, the word "zhe" has a long history in China. For example, "ancient sages", "Confucius Ten Philosophers" and "philosophers" refer to people who are good at thinking and knowledgeable in Chinese, that is, "thinkers" in the West.
In fact, in China's ancient books, "Zhe" is interpreted as smart, wise and wise; "Learning" is the solution of learning.
Philosophy, what is it?
Philosophy, in fact, is the innate "instinct" of "animals and plants" to some extent!
Why do you say that?
So what is the innate "instinct" of "animals and plants"?
Let's look at "an eight-legged crab is not as good as a footless earthworm"?
"Earthworms have no minions and strong bones and muscles. They eat Ethiopian soil and drink yellow soup, and they are also very attentive. The crab kneels six times and pinches twice. It's not that the snake hole has no sustenance, but it's also impetuous. " (Xunzi's "Encouraging Learning")
What does this sentence mean?
Earthworms have no sharp claws and strong bones, but they can eat soil and drink groundwater because they are single-minded; Crabs have six feet and two claws, but without the holes of snakes and eels, there is no place for their bodies to rest, because they are impetuous and unspecific.
Both the human world and the animal world have their own innate instinct-talent.
In human society, we call people with unique talents geniuses.
However, in the animal world, we humans will call our innate ability instinct.
Let's take another look. Where is pangolin's innate instinct?
Pangolin is a terrestrial mammal. It has no teeth. Why does it have a great ability to make holes?
The reason is that pangolin has a pair of hard claws.
"Pangolin" is like a machine that cuts through Shan Ye, hence the name "Pangolin"; Pangolin "can dig holes, turn over soil, swim, climb trees and play dead", but it must not go through the rocky mountain.
"Being able to dig holes, dig soil, swim, climb trees and play dead" is the innate instinct of pangolin.
The innate instinct of the so-called "animal" is not independent of the nurture and education, but an innate characteristic.
This is the survival law of "animals", otherwise they can't survive.
Some animals live in water, some animals live on land, and some animals can live in water and land, which are different from the innate "instinct" of animals.
Some animals eat meat, others eat grass.
As we all know, some animals eat meat and others eat grass.
Animals that eat grass: rabbits, sheep, cows, antelopes, giraffes and so on.
Animals that eat meat: lions, leopards, tigers, wolves and so on.
So, why do some animals eat grass and some animals eat meat?
This is different from the innate instinct of "animals".
Let's look at the difference between herbivores and carnivores. Where is the innate "instinct"?
Herbivores do not have developed canine teeth, but molars are very developed; Carnivores, on the other hand, have developed canine teeth, which can be used to tear meat.
Herbivores have a well-developed multi-cavity stomach, which is divided into several rooms to store foods digested to varying degrees. For example, cows simply chew grass first and then swallow it, and store it in a room in the stomach. When cows have a full rest, they regurgitate rumen contents into their mouths. In the process of full chewing, a lot of saliva is produced in the mouth and white foam appears in the corners of the mouth. This phenomenon is what farmers say. However, carnivores do not have the above structure and behavior.
Herbivores have long intestines and developed cecum because plants are difficult to digest; Carnivores generally have short intestines and underdeveloped cecum.
The completely different gastrointestinal digestive system between animals is related to the innate "instinct" of animals.
The way of thinking of herbivores is defense, which is always in a passive position.
The way of thinking of carnivores has always been vigilant and aggressive, and it is the active side.
Therefore, the reason why animals have "herbivores" and "carnivores",
In nature, so do plants. Although there is no animal instinct, plants are alive.
Some plants live in water, some plants live on land, some plants can live in water and land, and some plants just like to live in "cliffs, swamps and thorns in desolate mountainous areas"
Then why is this?
This is the innate instinct of plants.
As we all know, most plants like to grow in places with abundant water and fertile soil. However, some plants are not like this. They just like to live on "deserted barren hills and cliffs."
Also known as Selaginella, it can cure traumatic injury. It is a precious medicinal plant, and its growing place is more remote. It grows in the Rocky Mountains and has sharp edges and corners like the tip of a knife. The soil there is barren and the water storage capacity is poor. The water source for its growth depends almost entirely on the rain falling from the sky. In order to survive without rain for a long time, it was forced to practice this "skill", even tenacious moss.
There are also nine dead regrowth grasses, which are called evergreen grasses, immortal grasses and evergreen grasses.
The mystery of the extraordinary "resurrection" ability of the nine-dead regrowth grass lies in the "improvisation" ability of its innate cells. When the drought comes, the twigs will roll up and shrink into a ball to keep the water in the body. Its whole body cells are dormant and its metabolism almost stops. Like death, after getting water, the curly twigs will spread out and the whole body cells will return to normal physiological activities, so it is called "returning grass to 99" (Part of the content comes from Baidu Encyclopedia of Nine Dead Resurrection Grass)
Lotus root and rice can't grow without water, and they can only blossom and bear fruit if they live in paddy fields.
There is a saying in agricultural proverbs that "rice is planted in sesame valley in highland, peanuts are planted in sandy land, sweet potatoes are planted in Huanggang slope, and soybeans are not planted in high and low levels".
That is to say, "Sesame is planted in Gaotian, rice is planted in lowland, sandy soil is suitable for peanuts, sweet potato is suitable for sloping soil in Huanggang, and soybean is planted in neither high nor low land."
These are different from the innate "instinct" of plants.
Everything in the world has an innate instinct.
Some animals can fly, some animals can walk, some animals can fly and walk.
Some animals live in water, some animals live on land, some animals can live in water and land, and some animals live in deep mountains and forests.
Some animals can fly, some animals can walk, some animals can fly and walk.
This is "there are rules to follow, there are rules to follow, norms are feasible, and there are norms to follow".
Everything has its regularity and its survival rule, just as St. Amethyst said: "Dogs keep vigil, chickens think of dawn;" Silkworms spin silk and bees make honey. "
Isn't it?
Please have a look-
Look, birds are flying in the blue sky, tigers are walking in the mountains and fish are swimming in the water. Who taught them?
No one teaches you, learning by yourself, that is the nature, that is the innate instinct of animals.
Who taught bees to make honey for us?
Who teaches silkworms to spin silk for us?
No one taught you to make honey and spin silk yourself.
Making honey is the innate instinct of bees and the bounden duty of bees.
Who taught the dog to watch the door for us?
Who taught chickens to announce the dawn for us?
No one teaches, watch the door and announce the dawn.
"Honey makes honey, chickens tell the dawn" and so on. This is the innate instinct of animals, and it is also their bounden duty.
So, what is the innate "instinct" of "human beings"?
"Man"-What is an innate "instinct"?
I answered this question in a sentence in "Amethyst", that is, "What is a person if you don't study?" People are inferior to things without learning. "
The meaning of this sentence is clear-
How can a person be considered a person without studying?
People, if you don't study hard, even animals are inferior!
Therefore, as the spirit of all things, human beings like learning very much!
Children are natural learners. Adults should conform to children's nature and force children to learn with any color, and he will become a master who is tired of learning; Only let children become masters of real learning and self-education.
What is a master of self-education
Like Sun Jing and Su Qin, "work hard without teaching" is self-education; Like Zhu Maichen reading while chopping wood and Shimi reading while herding cattle, this kind of "hard work and hard study" is self-education; For example, Che Yin studies with the light of fireflies, and Sun Kang studies with the light of heavy snow. Their "poor family, but never stop learning" is self-education-this kind of learning is the happiest, not tangled, not painful, although bitter is sweet, because I want to learn. If I am not allowed to study, that is the real pain.
However, what is our education today?
Before the birth of a child, many mothers have been "prenatal anxiety" for fear that their children will not develop as well as others.
As soon as our child was born, parents were fooled by a commercial advertisement "Don't let the child lose at the starting line". This advertisement, like the starting gun on the marathon, shocked the parents' "brain". Therefore, our parents were fooled by this advertisement in order to let their children "win at the starting line".
/kloc-less than 0/year-old, began to enter the early education center, reading and painting, just learned to recite Tang poetry, learn foreign languages and learn arithmetic.
I have been learning musical instruments since I was 2 years old. At any cost, I made up my mind and worked hard to take my children to and from various training classes, cram schools, extra-long classes, piano and chess painting classes, astronomy and geography classes, Olympic English classes, literary writing classes and MBA classes, and did everything.
At the age of 3, I began to study primary school courses and went to the kindergarten to queue up for registration three years in advance; I just entered the "kindergarten" and then I have to find a "prestigious primary school" for my children. The thorny "from small to large" exam questions are enough to make college students have no choice; There is also a "ghost gate" at the beginning of junior high school. Parents and children sit together in the Olympic math class and compare their ages with their children ... Almost all parents will get together to talk about "what English classes they signed up for" and "how did they learn the Olympic math".
In short, in the field of family education, our children have been surrounded by various "special classes" and "interest classes" such as "English, Olympics, fine arts, calligraphy, Chinese studies, piano, guzheng, dance, chess, Go, abacus mental arithmetic, taekwondo, speed reading and super memory" since they were two or three years old. This is how children are educated. So is our school education.
However, what should children do after school?
Children have some bad habits after school, such as "being tired of learning, playing truant", "not loving reading, dragging their homework", "lying, spending money indiscriminately and indulging in the internet".
Therefore, China's education has created more than 50 million "poor students", more than 40 million "Internet addiction" teenagers and millions of "marginal" teenagers.
What are the root causes of these problems?
The root of these problems is that we firmly grasp the innate instinct of teenagers, so what is the innate instinct of teenagers?
As we all know, many animals are born with the ability to survive.
People are different from animals. Man is the most advanced animal in the animal world. People have not only natural attributes, but also social attributes.
And this kind of advanced animal, human, is the only advanced animal that has no self-protection ability at birth and relies entirely on all the protection provided by parents and the milk of its mother to grow up. Babies' innate ability to survive is to cry and remind their parents that I am hungry-I want to eat! I'm in pain-I want to take medicine.
Therefore, the viability of newborn babies is a word "cry". No one taught the baby to cry. This is an unconscious reaction to let parents know what they need.
In other words, "baby" has only natural attributes, but no social attributes, which is what we often say: "having milk is a mother."
But people's natural attributes are no different from those of animals, and they all have innate instincts; People's social attributes are well formed.
1-4-year-old "babies" will only have animal attributes when they grow up if they are fed by animals. There have been reports of wolf children, monkey children and pig children. But children who grow up in human society soon have social consciousness. First, they know that they can't eat other people's food casually, and then they know that they should control their instincts and desires.
What are the innate abilities of babies, infants, children, boys and girls?
I want to-"I want to play, I want to learn, I want to learn, I want to ..." This is the innate instinct of "teenagers", the law of human growth, the law of survival and the innate duty.
I want-the innate instinct of teenagers!
Children are natural learners.
Anyone who is a parent knows-
Children are naturally fond of learning. What did they learn?
Learn to talk, walk, sing, draw, cook, wash clothes and study. ...
Children are naturally fond of learning. What did they learn?
Study: study Chinese characters, writing, art, martial arts, and study. ...
Children are born to ask, what?
Ask this, ask that, ask east, ask west, ask. ...
But how do we answer the children?
"No cooking, no washing!"
"Don't ask, I'm so busy!"
"Don't ask, I'm bored to death!"
"Don't ask, how should I know!"
Is the answer simple? Very neat?
Our children's "shining eyes, moist skin and carefree smile" before going to school become "dull eyes and sad faces" after going to school, and they are tired, exhausted, bored at school and so on from time to time. Isn't this weariness of learning a mistake in education?
"Learning" and "asking" are like children's nature. Babysitting. When they can walk unsteadily and talk, they should imitate adults and shout-I want to wash clothes, I want to wash dishes, I want to cook, I want to read, I want to write, I want to. Adults say stop it, you are young, go away, and have something to do when you grow up.
Children are natural learners. Adults should conform to children's nature and force children to learn with any color, and he will become a master who is tired of learning; Only let children become masters of real learning and self-education.
Therefore, educate children to "pull out the seedlings and encourage them."
The innate instinct of growing teenagers should be "if people don't study, they are worse than animals."
Only by studying the innate instincts of animals and plants can people make use of their instincts.
Next, let's look at the innate "instinct" of "animals and plants". What useful inventions do we have?
What is the innate "instinct" of "animals and plants"
What beneficial inventions did the innate instinct of "animals and plants" give us?
According to the innate "instinct" of "things", our bionics is inspired by this. What did they invent by imitating animals?
People imitated the animal dragonfly and invented the plane.
People imitate animal fireflies-invent artificial luminescence.
People imitate animal bats-invent radar.
People imitate animals and dogs and invent electronic noses.
People imitate animal flies-invent spaceships.
People imitate animal fish-invent submarines.
People imitated the plant dandelion and invented the parachute.
People imitate the thatched leaves of plants-they invented the saw.
People imitate the innate "instinct" of animals and plants and invent many things, which can be said to be endless.
Finally, as we all know, the "Bird's Nest" of Beijing Olympic Games was built according to the principle of true bird's nest.
(6) What is the innate "instinct" of "animals and plants"?
People imitate the innate instinct of animals and plants and invent all kinds of things. What do they need?
In fact, on the other hand, earthworms "eat soil and drink yellow mud" and crabs "have nowhere to rest unless they are snake holes", which is the innate instinct of animals we don't know.
Therefore, the innate instinct of animals and plants in nature is the invention teacher of human beings.
In fact, the philosopher Xunzi's understanding of life in his thought of "encouraging learning" is itself a kind of "wisdom" and a kind of "philosophy".
What is a person's duty?
It's learning! Is to explore the truth!
What is the law of human existence?
It is learning, research, practice, exploration, development and innovation!
The innate instinct of nature's animals and plants makes people have a lot of reverie-it gives us a lot of useful inspiration and inventions: "Fish freely rises and falls in the water, and people are inspired to invent submarines;" Birds flying freely in the sky inspired people to invent airplanes. "
What does the innate instinct of animals and plants tell us?
There are many examples of "earthworm and cactus" in the animal and plant world. The innate "instinct" of "animals and plants" has given us many meanings and many inventions.
The philosopher Xunzi borrowed the spirit of earthworm's "one heart" in "Encouraging Learning", which is an understanding and enlightenment of the truth of life, and is itself a kind of "wisdom" and a kind of "philosophy"; Here, Xunzi is just "expressing his ambition by borrowing things."
Therefore, the embodiment of philosophy and wisdom, to some extent, is the innate "instinct" of "animals and plants"!
