Think things are too simple or too complex and may have enough skill, the real master is to take a simple thing to complicate (full, comprehensive, system), then - unraveling the complex and then return to the simple.
From simple to complex, reflecting the systematic and comprehensive.
From simple to complex, to be the more abstract thinking.
Abstract nature is to see from the surface, seen as a whole from one-sided, and then out of those steady, common characteristics.
Abstract thinking that things were subtraction and division.
The first step is to select the nature of subtraction to study - "Ignore secondary contradictions, highlighting the principal contradiction" - extract the essence of things in some kind of stable characteristics.The second step is to divide all things have this feature classified as the same type, the overall perception by the local, universal general conclusions or rule.
For example, for people, when physicists kinematics, will highlight the quality of this feature, the person abstracted as a particle.
Selection of different angles, different results are obtained abstraction, the same person, the composition of matter chemists to study in an angle will be considered as a complex compound.
Abstract basis in reality that universal connection between things and things in common between the similarity.
Abstract is to simplify, to find a general rule, the general pattern used to predict and explain the reality.
We can be modeled by simplifying things, and then study their causal structure, to draw general, universal conclusions law.

How to improve abstract thinking ability?
1, programming
Programming is extremely widespread use of abstract thinking, programming is the real problem into a machine problem, this process must be simplified conceptual model for the problem, and then write the code.
2, learning of science knowledge
of mathematics and other disciplines is built on the basis of abstract
3, draw concept map
to learn the concept of a book can use mind mapping to express the relationship between them. Paint itself is a kind of understanding, refining, processing and organization of a very good thought process. Figure itself may reflect: order of severity, hierarchical, relational ...... these multi-dimensional information, a simple description language, easily avoiding the process of drawing process itself is an abstract thought.
4, define
as already said the language itself is a low level of abstraction, learn definition of words to describe their abstraction.
