There was a man named Liu Yuchong who happened to get an ancient soldier book. After a full year of painstaking study of the military book, he thought he could lead 100,000 people and horses and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
At this time, it happened that there were bandits and robbers nearby, so he immediately followed the method in the book, trained the villagers himself, and fought against the bandits. As a result, the township soldiers he brought were no match for the bandits, and they were gradually defeated, and the township soldiers were almost all captured by the bandits.
Liu Yuchong was very puzzled, and thought to himself, "Obviously, I am leading the troops according to the methods in the books!" Why not? ”
Once again, he inadvertently got an ancient book about water conservancy construction. Liu Yuchong was overjoyed and thought, "This is really heaven help me!"
So he studied the book carefully for a whole year, thinking that he could "turn the wilderness of a thousand miles into fertile land." He was deeply pleased with his cleverness and ability to be self-taught, and thought to himself: This time, he said that he would have to get back the face he lost last time.
So he painstakingly drew up a map of the water conservancy and lobbied the local governor. The governor was also a good person, so he sent people to try it out in a village. As a result, not long after the ditch was dug, the continuous rain came, and the water poured into the village along the ditch, and the villagers were almost drowned.
Liu Yuchong in the story, twice learned knowledge from books, but both times suffered failures, is it the knowledge in the books to deceive people?
In fact, the knowledge in the book is indeed feasible under the conditions that meet its needs. But time has changed, places have changed, conditions have changed, and methods naturally need to be adapted to local conditions. It's like we can't use the method of fishing on a frozen lake to fish at sea. Obviously, Liu Yuchong did not realize this, so he repeatedly failed.
Liu Yuchong's story explains the truth of "it is better to believe in books than to have no books": it is very stupid to stick to book knowledge and not know how to be flexible and flexible according to the actual situation.
Sticking to the rules of books, copying book knowledge, and not being good at applying knowledge to practical operations, the final result is likely to be the opposite. Have you ever had a similar experience?
