The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 3120 Knowledge Dictionary

Knowledge and books are the starting point and the path of mankind, but they will never end!

Fang Yun looked at these mountains, took a deep breath, suppressed the joy in his heart, and browsed quickly.

These books are of various types and colors, containing the insights of saints, whimsical thoughts, deductions, cultivation processes, combat experiences, and even complete memories!

Memory books are the most precious books in the mountain of books. Every memory book is at the top of each mountain.

When you read memory books, you will become the owner of the book and gain access to everything the owner of the book experienced in a memory, including not only hearing, vision, smell, taste, and touch, but also what the owner of the book was thinking at the time.

Not just superficial thoughts, but also subconscious thoughts deep inside!

The human heart is always a tangle of sin and kindness.

There has never been a good person who did not have an evil thought, and there has never been an evil person who did not have a good thought.

Opening up your experiences, insights, and ideas is really nothing, but if you really let your memories go out and let yourself stand completely naked in the world, even a semi-saint or even a sub-saint may not be able to do it.

Among the mountains of books, the tallest one is the Mountain of Confucius’ Books.

And at the top of the mountain of books, there is a book emitting white light.

That is Kong Sheng's Book of Memory.

It is also the only complete book of memory in the human race. The book records the memories of Kong Sheng's life.

Other saints also have memory books, but they all have multiple copies, and some memories have even been deliberately erased.

Only the Book of Memory of Kong Sheng completely presents all his memories from birth to death, without any changes from his first memory to before his death.

Fang Yun looked at the sacred book of memory on Kong Shengshu Mountain, and his heart was filled with admiration.

You can't do it yourself!

Fang Yun knew that he couldn't do it now, and neither could he do it after becoming a sub-sage. Perhaps, he would only be able to do it when he became a saint.

However, Fang Yun believes that he can do it in the future!

"The first thing I have to do now is to condense millions of books with my spiritual thoughts!"

Fang Yun thought to himself, thinking about what books to condense first.

The mountain of books is the most free. Any knowledge, information, ideas or even fleeting thoughts can be turned into books.

However, if it is a worthless thought, such as the thought of eating a leek box tonight, it cannot be condensed into a book.

Human beings do not lack ideas, further ideas, or even further information. What they lack is knowledge.

However, knowledge cannot be achieved overnight. Real knowledge is likely to originate from a whimsical idea or an apple hitting the head.

Looking at these books, Fang Yun realized the greatness of Kong Sheng’s book mountain.

Condensing books may seem simple, but it is essentially a process of re-collecting, organizing, collating, refining and finally outputting. This is a great method of teaching and learning, and it is also the most effective method known to mankind.

As early as thousands of years ago, Confucianism discovered this method. "Teaching without tireness" and "teaching complement each other" means teaching as learning.

After seeing through one of the true meanings of Book Mountain, Fang Yun began to condense his own books.

According to his own thinking habits, Fang Yun first classified his knowledge system, such as Confucianism, military science, medicine, engineering, historians, philosophy, mathematics, physics, novels, etc.

Then, subdivide each major category and continue to subdivide until it is indistinguishable, and restructure your knowledge system according to the famous pyramid principle.

This is also the first time that Fang Yun has completely sorted out his knowledge system.

A huge irregular triangle appeared in Fang Yun's mind, with countless knowledge nodes on it, each node being a classification or knowledge point.

Fang Yun thought, and each node suddenly appeared in a different color.

Black nodes indicate complete mastery of knowledge in this area, gray nodes indicate mastery of most of it, white nodes indicate only a little knowledge, and red nodes indicate almost no knowledge.

Then, Fang Yun's holy thoughts started to move, and various thin lines appeared between a large number of categories.

The black solid line is the relationship between superiors and subordinates, the black dotted line is the connection at the same level but under different categories, the green line is new knowledge formed between two nodes, and the red line with arrows is multiple categories and knowledge points forming another Knowledge……

Soon, all of Fang Yun's knowledge formed a complex knowledge classification network.

In the knowledge classification network, there are many terminals. They have superior nodes but no subordinate nodes, which are the most basic knowledge elements.

This terminal knowledge element is endless and forms the basis of the knowledge network and is also the largest part.

Each terminal knowledge element can be its own book.

Fang Yun breathed a sigh of relief after completing the initial knowledge points. For ordinary people, this may take many years, but for him, it can be completed in just a few breaths.

Next, Fang Yun thought for a long time and decided to start defining.

Define each node, from the top node to the bottom node, all with your own cognition, so that your brain can know more clearly what each knowledge point is.

This project is more ambitious than compiling a dictionary!

Fang Yun thought this process was simple, but soon encountered huge obstacles because he did not know everything.

In the process of definition, some knowledge points themselves are vague, some overlap with other categories, some can be regarded as sub-categories of another category, and some can be understood but cannot be accurately defined...

All kinds of problems popped up. Fang Yun was not worried about so many difficulties, but happy, because this process was to bring up the sediment, so that he could find out the shortcomings more clearly.

If there are shortcomings, make up for them!

If there are problems, solve them!

If there are shortcomings, correct them!

As long as you have a heart to find ways to solve problems and take action, instead of just thinking about solving problems, everything can be solved!

When Fang Yun found his own problems, he was filled with great joy, as if he had just seen a mountain of books.

Fang Yun began to work hard to define, change, and reorganize a new knowledge system.

This process took ten months of mountain of books.

During these ten months, Fang Yun not only simply defined the knowledge points, but also kept flipping through and looking for books, often multitasking at the same time to consider a knowledge point from different angles.

Finally, the basic definition was completed, and Fang Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Yun knew in his heart that he was not omniscient, so his knowledge must be constantly updated and iterated. Every definition may be changed in the future, some will change a little, and some will change completely.

Just like the Ship of Theseus, every plank will be replaced. In the end, there is no need to care whether it is the Ship of Theseus or not. You just need to know that it is a better ship!

After defining all the knowledge nodes, Fang Yun suddenly felt a little confused.

Because, after the definition, there is explanation and example!

The definition is just a clear description of a node. For example, "Lock-on instant single attack war poem" is a terminal knowledge element, and the definition is "forming a war poem that can directly act on the target."

However, if you want to explain, you don't need to explain the big category of attack war poems, but you need to clearly explain locking, instantaneous, single, etc. At the same time, you need to explain in detail the relationship between this terminal knowledge element and other knowledge nodes. Finally, you need to give various examples.
