The summer in Cambridge is really good. There is no wind, no rain, no rush, some houses, roadside cherries, Iranian fruit, as if a world has changed. At this moment, this scene, this place, I suddenly understand The reason why the summer vacation here is more than three months long: After sharpening the sword of spring, autumn and winter, summer should belong to the bridge! Yesterday, dozens of visiting friends from China and their families held a barbecue religious smoking philosophical gathering on a large lawn in the south. Everyone exchanged views with each other and was very excited and very lively. Major religions, atheists, Scientific thoughts and daily trivialities have been flourishing. I can’t hold back from noon to the afternoon before dispersing... Among them, I really like to chat with an elderly person about the highs and lows of life and all aspects of the country. It seems that I am again Not in the flow! In addition, recently, parents have been consulting their children about the college entrance examination, going abroad, and growing up. To be honest, I don’t have much successful experience and experience. I only have a little thinking and pondering. I can’t talk about the system. I am sure to laugh. , If it is generous, there is not much panic!
I like young people very much, but I am also very jealous of young people, because they are full of youthful vigor and unknown future. They can rush to Cambridge as soon as they arrive in the UK to play poker for two consecutive days and get off the car. I followed a strange Chinese who I ran into, wandering around the scenery of Cambridge in the middle of the night for several hours, and then ran all over the corners of Cambridge the next morning. Oxford... His/their constant curiosity and wonder during the tour can instantly be transformed into a driving force for reflection and forge ahead, humbly like a huge sponge, can’t wait to take all the poor knowledge and related power of the tour guide Squeezed and drained, his eyes are full of provocation and unwillingness, oh, My God! God knows what kind of Ultraman this group of young people will become in the future... In the past two days, a 17-year-old boy named Mo Youxue has ignited a trace of the hope of Chinese sports fans. Won the first world men’s 100m championship, even though it is the World Junior Championship, even though he has more uncertainties in the future...but at present, he is indeed quietly correcting the emergence of another 17-year-old in China. It's not as good as his father's singing. Speaking of these two teenagers in China, how can it not be reminiscent of Mr. Liang Qichao's "Juvenile China"! It should be a lot of trouble for a teenager who has no ideals to grow up...
In middle age, I look back on many things, and I have gone away from you. Apart from my tears, I often feel the process and results of natural selection and artificial selection. Maybe some choices were right at the time, but then gradually become wrong, of course. Maybe they will gradually become a pair in the future! Therefore, choosing a major for the college entrance examination, thinking about going abroad, and choosing a path for growth are all processes of active or passive selection between ideals and reality. Reason and emotion are randomly combined with a balanced result of probability! Just like a society, if there is no fairness, it will collapse! Just like a piece of software, if it is not suitable for use, there will be no market. Life is an artificial product. It needs to constantly try and correct the original design intention dynamically. At the same time, life is also a natural result. There will always be spring, summer, autumn and winter. The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold.” Even if you don’t experience wind and rain, you can sometimes see a rainbow. That’s luck. It’s not reliable to live by luck! Actively waiting for preparation and hopeful progress may be what Alexandre Dumas meant when he wrote "The Earl of Mount Kitu"!
In the past few days, the weather in Britain is exceptionally good, and I feel a little bit excited! Yesterday, I went to Sandringham Manor Beach in Norfolk County in the southeast with my friends. I really got a taste of the baptism on the sea under the cliff-I really need to get wet in the cold water. Only to get the title of Christian!
On the drive back, I chatted with a friend who was writing his doctoral dissertation about his doctoral dissertation. It was about the topic of "one and many points", that is, whether the origin of the world is one or many. During the period, it involved It's very flavorful in multiple disciplines! He first talked about the unity of opposites between Aquinas and Augustine about one and many: there is one in many, and there are many in one, and then he talked about rational beliefs--things that can be believed through scientific reasoning and emotional beliefs--not Believing in one and many manifestations through rational means but through infinite love: Generally speaking, rationality often manifests as equal many, while sensibility can produce the supreme one, which derives many aspects of management For example, if there is no authoritative one, it will often fall into a lot of wrangling, and there will be no equality and freedom. Laozi often says that one is the number one in the world. How to balance these “ones” and “multiples”?
Several revolutions in science, technology and industry have first changed the products from the “one” in the hand-crafted workshop to the “multi” after processing in the factory, but now they are gradually shifting from the commonly used “multi” products to the individual “one”. Customized transformation (what will it be in the future?), perhaps it is precisely this rational constraint that gradually tends towards perceptual freedom. The omnipotent God of Europe has gradually immigrated to North America, and at the same time it is also migrating with economic prosperity. The single development momentum of North America seems to be a little sluggish, perhaps it is quietly turning into a multi-polar rise! However, sustainable strength often requires the same pace and beliefs and beliefs, and this unquestioned "one" often requires the support of passionate emotions that accompany but transcend rationality. China, are you ready?
"One" can produce "many", and "many" can be condensed into "one". If we are together for a long time, we must divide, and when we divide for a long time, we must converge. In what context is "combined" and in what context? How fast is the speed and acceleration of "division" and "combination"? In addition to rationality, what role does emotion play in these switching processes? ...
Although I am not religious, I am very happy. Yesterday I witnessed a very interesting ceremony and the vast sea with many friends!
When I got off the bus, for some reason, I suddenly remembered the name of a gentleman: Wen Yiduo!
When looking at China at the beginning of the year, an award-winning elder once said: People who have not experienced crying late at night are not enough to talk about life. I often go to the Cambridge University Library to read books recently . I have a lot of feelings. I really want to use that sentence: People who have not experienced the library books are not enough to talk about the university . There are more than 100 large and small libraries in the University of Cambridge. Students can hardly do their homework without them. This is very different from the situation in domestic universities . Yesterday a teacher wrote a blog to the effect that students do not need to attend classes. I have very mixed feelings, so with a post: "the real exemptions are a master, a teacher can not teach again, there are few cattle are taught out of it!!?" there is a teacher very identity : "A few other great people have come out of self-taught!? Today we are talking about going to university and graduate school, which is equivalent to receiving the necessary basic training, or other people’s guidance and professors." In this regard, I remembered the first few his days as an undergraduate when chatting to a word I said right back to answer it: "in the library I can really see the light, where not only reading, but also to think ..... .". Yes, here time flows quietly, there is no material desire, people can fly without wings, and there is no sense of fatigue, enjoying the joy of learning and creation! So the author suddenly thought: When will most of our students feel this way, how domestic universities should be like universities?
在图书馆的顶层读书，时常会抬起头来与小窗外檐站着的鸽子对视，虽隔了一层玻璃，彼此的喜欢却也惜惜不已......不知何故，读了一些原版的书后，竟渐渐治好了我原本不相信书的毛病，读后心里踏实了不少，迷茫少了许多，时而有童年在田野里奔跑的轻松，时而能感受到雕像和油画里的心跳，时而想起初恋时的不苦目光，时而体会出婚姻中的会心味道，时而品味着炙热夏日柳荫下喝着井水的沁凉，时而怀念起凛冽北风围炉旁打瞌睡的惬意......谢谢您，剑桥，让我知道了什么是大学的空气和味道！
昨天陪一位朋友到剑桥大学教师墓地（Ascension Parish Burial Ground）中看望了维特根斯坦的墓碑，顺便又找寻了维特根斯坦老师穆尔、学生安斯康姆等人的墓碑，在这些简简单单的石碑前，不觉聊起了一些有趣的话题：科学、哲学和神学的关系。
科学，源于拉丁文“scientia”，意为“知识”、“学问”，在近代侧重关于自然的学问。据此，剑桥大学三一学院的惠威尔提出了"Scientist"这两个词。明治时代日本启蒙思想家西周使用“科学”作为“science”的译词。到了1893年，康有为引进并使用“科学”二字。此后，“科学”二字便在中国广泛运用。对科学的定义目前而言并不很成功，笼统地说，科学即反映自然、社会、思维等的客观规律的分科知识体系。
当尼罗河、幼发拉底河与底格里斯河、黄河等流域经常出现大型土木工程和水灾治理工程（如金字塔、吾珥古城、大禹治水工程）时，人类自然建立起了数学、物理、岩土等科学技术知识，并伴随着美术、音乐、舞蹈等祭司、庆祝艺术形式的产生，当人们发现规模宏大的工程需要大量人的繁重的体力劳动时，就逐渐发明了各种机械装置以减轻人的体力劳动，再后来就发明了蒸汽机、电动机，从而大幅度地降低了人的生理负荷；当人们不断降低生理负荷的同时，对减少认知负荷的要求也不断增强，于是通过发明文字、数字、自动化、计算机、互联网等方式极大地减少了认知方面的工作量；随着人们生理负荷、认知负荷的不断下降，心理负荷和精神（情感）负荷却不断上升，于是这就给哲学和神学提出了新的课题。
哲学，源自于希腊语φιλοσοφία（philosophia），意即“热爱智慧”。希腊文Philosophia是由philo和sophia两部分构成，philein指爱和追求，sophia指智慧。最早使用philosophia（爱智慧）和philosophos（爱智者）这两个词语的是毕达哥拉斯。据蓬托斯的赫拉克利德在《论无生物》中记载，当毕达哥拉斯在同西库翁或弗里阿西亚的僭主勒翁交谈时，第一次使用了philosophia（爱智慧）这个词语，并且把自己称作philosophos（爱智者）。概况地说，哲学就是自然知识、社会知识、思维知识的概括和总结，是世界观和方法论的统一。
哲学是伴随着科学和非科学的发展而产生的，它关注形而上学（世界的本源是什么？）和认识论（如何了解世界？）这两大核心问题。虽然东西方不同的哲学体系里都有唯物和唯心主义，但其研究方法却有很大的不同，东方哲学总体上与科学方法联系较疏，而西方哲学（尤其是近现代）与科学的认识论联系极为紧密（如分析哲学就与心理、信息、计算机、自动化等科学技术有着千丝万缕的关联）。当人类走进认知科学时代后，突然发现，哲学的质疑和拷问竟是科学发展的挑战、机遇和动力！一句“我是谁？”让当前东西方各个宏大的大脑科学研究计划变得如此羞涩和知耻而后勇，另一句“从哪里来？”使得神学愈发显得“从信仰到理解”的情感逻辑这般迫切和从上而下了！
神学，这一概念并非源自基督宗教，而是早已出现在希腊古代思想中。在那里，“神学”（亦即“关于上帝的言谈”；“神学”二字有（Theos）及（Logos）二希腊文字并合成的。前者意“神”，后者意“话语”；谈到基督信仰又有（The divinity of Christ}即“基督的神性”。所以基督教“神学”就是有关 神的话语，即有关基督的神性的研究，或有关基督的神性的学问。简言之，“神学”就是“学神”，即教导怎样“学向基督”。《旧约》的原文是希伯来文，《新约》的原文是希腊文，从中可见其起源的一斑。
同哲学一样，神学关注的关键也是形而上学和认识论，但与哲学不同的是它在认识论中加入了神的“启示”（分主动、被动）这一元素。与科学一样，神学也有通过客观的实证逻辑达到的相信，同时，它还存在着超越科学和哲学的通过确定归属而后至的信任，有点像孩子对母亲的依赖一样没有什么条件，这里应该有着某种情感化的先入之迹！在当今科学技术和哲学研究不断发展、甚至融合的趋势下，神学也在相关的领域里发展、交叉！
有人说，哲学是研究科学和神学之间问题的学科，在剑桥大学教师墓地（Ascension Parish Burial Ground）中，我们的确也看到了不少科学家（如弗朗西斯.达尔文（查尔斯.达尔文的三儿子）、亚瑟斯坦利.爱丁顿（1919年通过观测日食来验证爱因斯坦相对论正确的科学家）等人）和一些著名牧师、神父与哲学家们的墓碑在一起，简单、自然、安详！
前两天，抽空到了伦敦海格尔东墓地悼念了马克思先生，深为其人穷志坚、睿智深邃的精神所吸引，看着他一家人简陋的墓址，深深为国内的很多高官达人村长高知们所感叹：已经不错了！咋就不能消停点呢？！在剑桥有很多可以自由采摘的各种各样的果树，不管附近有无人路过，很少有成年人采摘，遂惑之，友人曰：想吃的话可以去超市买，就不要跟小鸟们抢食了！
Finally , I am very grateful to Mr. Ying Ruocheng for his great book "Water Flowing Clouds" , which gave me such a topic when I celebrated the National Day for the first time abroad! In addition, his book has changed my view on many things: things that make you sad, one day, you will surely smile and say it...
I don’t know the classmates I met seven years ago, how are you doing now? !
Two lines of words are engraved on the base of Newton’s marble statue at Trinity College, Cambridge University:
NEWTON
He who has overcome the ability of the human race
Netizen Yang Xiaohong can't speak Latin. Later, when he went home, Google English translation was:
He surpassed the race of man in understanding
He surpassed human understanding
When Newton passed away at the age of 85 in 1727, the British buried him in Westminster Abbey (Westminster St. Peter's College Church). He was the first natural scientist in human history to receive a state burial. The poet Alexander Pope wrote the following epitaph for Newton:
Nature and Nature' law lay hid in night ; God said, "Let Newton be," and all was light.
Nature and the laws of nature are hidden in darkness; God said, "Let Newton come!" So everything turned into light.
