Chapter 21 twenty, big eyes

Marquis Yelang: Hi. When I read "Historical Records", I knew you for the first time. You asked the envoy of the Han Dynasty: "Which Han is older than me?" Voice, attitude, moral law, worldview and outlook on life are brainwashed, and like everyone else, I also sincerely laugh at you: Hahaha, frog in the well, Yelang arrogant, stupid, hahaha. As the world became clearer, I began to think about the two-cunt education I had suffered in the past, and re-read the old books that I had swallowed in the past, such as "Zeng Wenzhenggong's Jiayan Notes", "Historical Records".When I read about you again, first, I feel that you have been wronged.Back then, you were in Yunnan, there were clouds on the mountain, and there was a lake at the foot of the mountain. You were eating fungus, watching singing and dancing, and a group of people dressed in weird clothes came from afar. Bigger, which is perfectly normal.Second, thinking about the people and things I have experienced, those extraordinary stupid people and those incredible stupid things, I suddenly realized that to a large extent, each of us is you, we are all A frog in a well is arrogant.

Just give you two examples. Once I went to Taipei. After dinner, my friends took me to drink tea in a teahouse on Guangfu South Road on an early spring night.The teahouse is very comfortable, the furniture is mixed and matched, and the decoration is minimalist. All kinds of old objects from the Republic of China, various Buddha statues, various Buddhist objects, and various calligraphy and paintings fill up the space. When people sit in, their eyes are not enough.The friend and the host know each other very well. The host is handsome and speaks soft Taiwanese Mandarin. He makes tea in a bowl and divides it with a spoon. Dongding Oolong, Oriental Beauty, and his own secret milk tea are very delicious.Everything was fine until he started talking: "You have never seen these teas outside, and the oriental beauties you have seen are all fake. The oriental beauties are produced on a few acres of mountain land, and these few acres of mountain land are all owned by me. Every year, I pick first, and then pick the rest. Other teas are incomparable to my tea.” Among the few people who went together, one kept drinking, watching, and listening with a smile. Do not say.I happen to know that since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the best Pu'er tea and oolong tea in mainland China have been controlled by the group company he manages for a long time. Curry picks a good old seven-zi cake at random. This handsome shop owner may have never seen it.

Once back to Beijing, Yun Mao, a good craftsman, said to go to his warehouse to see his new furniture.After the reform and opening up, Yun Mao was among the first batch of people who made old Ming and Qing furniture. He mainly bought and sold furniture, and also repaired it. He also made those big and small pieces of hardwood monsters for a famous fat artist.A while ago, he told me that he no longer makes old furniture.I asked why.Yun Mao said, first, he has enough money.Although there is not much money, it is useless if there is too much, and it will cause trouble.Second, he is clumsy.Will not sell, do not have the heart to cheat. "Really old huanghuali big mazars, ordinary people look like burning fire and chopping wood, hundreds of thousands. Fake new ones, the wood grain is painted, they have a good look, and they are sold seriously, tens of thousands, good money. I can't do it." Thirdly, his eyesight is dazzled.There are not many days of strength, and it is time to do something more meaningful and leave something behind, not just repeating one after another official hat chair.I asked what to do.Yunmao said, design some interesting new furniture, the appearance is new, and the details are the mortise and tenon joints of the old furniture, without a single nail.In the warehouse is a set of four bookshelves, two and a half meters high, four meters wide, simple and thick square grid.Yun Mao said that four tons of huanghuali were used.I said, it looks good, and I want to read it when I see it. I named it: I wish I could study for ten years.Yun Mao said, put books, you can also put a few antiques, older ones, don't put Ming and Qing Dynasties.I took a photo and posted it on Weibo, and I received many comments, one of which was a representative comment: "I really hate this kind of bookshelf with fixed width and height for each grid. The specifications of different books can be adjusted flexibly, which is extremely wasteful of space, and it is not suitable for classifying books. It seems that this is the case for custom-made domestic ones. It depends on how many movable shelves you want. I don’t know if IKEA’s will be good. A little." After that, he elaborated on many other items, such as IKEA is too expensive and so on.

Indeed, everyone is a frog in a well, and they are all arrogant.Everyone is limited by their personal understanding, there is a sky beyond the sky, no matter how strong a person is, he can't lift himself off the ground by his own hair.But the difference between an idiot and a human with common sense is that an idiot doesn't know this, and a human with common sense knows this.It is this valuable self-knowledge that strictly distinguishes fools from common-sense humans.
