The strength of a country is completed on the podium of primary school teachers, and education is the national fortune of a country.
——Ren Zhengfei (President of Huawei)
As we all know, the impact of the Opium War on China can be said to be a watershed in China's national fortunes, and it was later recognized as the reason for the failure: backwardness was beaten. But where is the specific backwardness? Very few people can say it. Some people say that the defeat was in the ship's strong guns, which was summed up at that time. But today I would like to say that we lost in that boat, and even more so in our own mindset.
When we were very young, even in kindergarten, we folded a small paper boat and let the boat float on the water, and felt very happy to see the head of the tree floating on the water, the ancestors of China, made it into a bamboo raft, on which you can fish and produce.

It was made into a ship a long time ago, and then Zheng He went to the West, expanding the horizons of Chinese, and the ambitious northern army of Cao Cao in the Chibi War was defeated in the water battle. For thousands of years Chinese ships have been slow to progress, mainly by 3 mindsets.
First, the problem of shipbuilding materials
We see that things lighter than water can float on the water, such as bamboo poles, wood, sheepskin, can be made into floating tools, never thought, no one tried, at least from the historical record did not see, from the metal to make boats. Although the wooden boat is light and profitable, compared with the ironclad steel ship, it is almost similar to "egg touching stone", which is not conducive to protecting itself at all.
Very Chinese smelting history, bronze ware is the earliest, often used to make handicrafts, such as Simu Peng Da Fangding, used for sacrifice, China's iron smelting technology in the Han Dynasty once reached a peak, mainly used to make weapons and armor, it can be said that China's history of using metal is very early, ahead of the world, but the use of steel for shipbuilding, it is completely after the Opium War was awakened, began to imitate, the most advanced destroyer used in the Battle of Jiawu, is imported from Europe, it can be said that in steel shipbuilding, We got up early and rushed to a late set.
Students in middle school know that the buoyancy problem of water, which is physics, can be said that "floating mechanics" is a scientific problem to deal with water, is the basis for solving the sharp guns of the ship, broadens people's thinking and vision, and on the basis of this principle, all ship-making materials are possible.
2, the power problem
The ship is built, can not stop in the port, must solve the power problem, the most common in our culture is the oar and bamboo pole and sail, as well as Zheng He to the West, with the foot of the oar, although the form is more, but almost no leave the manpower, sailing ships rely on the wind direction and wind, the drawbacks are more.
In the seventeenth and eighth centuries, the European industrial revolution, the emergence of the steam engine, revolutionary solution to the power problem of ships, found the right direction, this led to the European iron ships ran to the doorstep of the Qing Dynasty.
3. Weapons issues
Gunpowder is one of the four major inventions of China, but the motivation for the invention of gunpowder is not our use now, but a Taoist, when studying immortality, accidental harvest, later used in fireworks, which is our most common, firecrackers in the sound of one year old, spring breeze to send warmth into tusu, used for the celebration of happy time, to show solemnity, warm atmosphere, used for weapons, we want to lag behind a lot, even because of the mindset never thought, or did not pay attention.
In fact, the appearance of earthen cannons in China is not too late, the Yuan Dynasty has, and the development of modern gun technology, in fact, a joke to China, as early as the Kangxi time, Kangxi once saw the advanced rifles at that time, but unfortunately did not attract attention, but took the action of banning guns, it is these moves, so that guns and chinese shipbuilding missed the arm, until his descendants, in 1840 encountered the ship gun sharp foreigner navy, suffered humiliation.
It has been 179 years since 1840, for the war that determined the fate of the Chinese nation, we must know where we lost at that time, can not simply summarize the abstract, backward will be beaten, but to combine children, combined with specific disciplines, theory and technology, and even thinking, and then catch up, this is particularly important.
Lu Mama wrote these are feelings and hair, as parents usually accompany their children to pay attention to innovative education, there are a few points of encouragement:
1 Be open-minded in learning, give more inspiration, and have fewer standard answers.
Curiosity is the nature of children, children naturally like to explore when they are young, more patient accompaniment, in the guardianship, more encouragement of children, less direct teaching, more questions to children, let children "teach as a learning", not only stimulate children's sense of achievement, but also inspire children to divergent thinking.
2. Be enlightened in living habits and attitudes.
Don't always worry about the safety of the child, or in order to make the child obedient, everywhere is a jin, do not let go, exploration requires courage, especially parents, from an early age to give children good habits, innovative thinking, unconstrained thinking, no preconceptions, the harvest may be Musk's brain, rather than the same high score.
Because of the time relationship, the writing so far, a war that determines the fate of the country can be considered a lot, there are other factors affecting science, from the perspective of education, from the perspective of education and thinking innovation, write so much, about the reasons for the failure of the Opium War to the enlightenment of education, you must have your own ideas, welcome to say it, everyone to share and communicate.
