Get rid of linear thinking

Linear thinking is the cornerstone of higher organisms' cognition of things, and it is also a load-bearing stone. Humans walk into this door of wisdom, but they are still inside, especially China. For example, China traditional art, calligraphy, is a line art with different thicknesses; Painting, based on lines, ignores the level and three-dimensional sense of western oil painting; Music pays attention to transverse melody, timbre, rhythm and strength, but lacks longitudinal harmony.

For a long time, people are used to linear thinking. Distinguishing people simply by good or bad is a mindset shaped by the past. From looking at the world in pure black and white to adding gray improvement, we still haven't got rid of the entanglement of linear thinking.

Nowadays, "the world is flat". In "Globalization 3.0", all boundaries are being smoothed out, the world is flattened, from small to large, and individuals become the protagonists.

Individuals who become world protagonists must get rid of the influence of long-term "linear" education on their world outlook and outlook on life, think and judge problems with an open network structure, and examine known and unknown things with materialistic dialectical eyes.

If so, the world will no longer be black and white, but colorful; When encountering the diversity of problems, we should be full of energy and be comfortable.

Naturally, if we talk about "Huai" and Li Hongzhang again, we will be more calm and gain more. Huai army not only acted as the executioner to suppress the peasant uprising, but also was an important force to defend the frontier against foreign enemies, among which there were many touching stories. Huai tried to overthrow the feudal dynasty and blew the whistle of China's modernization voyage. What he did, regardless of success or failure, did not lose his exploration and attempt to strengthen the country and enrich the people. Li Hongzhang, a self-proclaimed "paperhanger" close to the feudal building, can not only touch the pulse of the rise and fall of the feudal empire, but also lead the tragic beauty of this important official's contradictory personality in the late Qing Dynasty.

Getting rid of the entanglement of linear thinking is a problem in itself and a kind of wisdom in itself. Subverting a habit requires courage and perseverance, even the spirit of nirvana.
