Imagination is more important than knowledge. What are the key periods to cultivate children and develop their imagination? Einstein once said: "Imagination is more important than professional knowledge, because professional knowledge is very limited, and imagination summarizes everything in the world, leads the development and is the driving force for the evolution of professional knowledge. Strictly speaking, imagination is the real element in scientific research. " Einstein was an imaginative and energetic man. It can be said that his achievements are absolutely inseparable from his great imagination.

From the psychological point of view, people's personal psychological quality can be basically divided into two categories: intellectual factors and non-intellectual factors. Intelligence factors refer to memory ability, insight, logical thinking ability, concentration, imagination, etc., that is, the sum of thinking ability. Non-intelligence factors refer to all psychological obstacles except intelligence factors, which have an immediate effect on a person's cognitive process. Generally speaking, non-intelligence factors mainly include motivation, hobbies, mentality, beliefs and habits.

It can be said that people's success is the result of the mutual integration and influence of intelligence factors and non-intelligence factors, among which imagination plays a very important role in intelligence factors. People with rich and diverse imaginations, with strong imagination, can promote the development and growth of the times.
