The most ridiculous thing in the world is those "knowledge hands (4)", who have a half-understanding of hearsay, and then proclaim themselves "the best in the world", which is enough to see that they are not self-sufficient. The question of knowledge is a scientific one, which requires no hypocrisy and pride, but what is decisively required is its opposite, honesty and humility.

**: Theory of Practice

Appreciation] ** This passage not only quotes the Hunan dialect "knowledge insider" (knowledge insider) to ridicule those who claim to be "the first in the world", but also uses three allusions "hearsay", "half-understanding", and "self-immeasurable" to portray the ugliness of hypocrisy and pride of "knowledge insider", and also uses two sets of antonyms "hypocrisy - honesty, pride - modesty" to guide us to a correct attitude towards knowledge. The great man also used the expression of first effect and then cause, arguing that "it is true for people's practice and true for epistemology." It is impossible to live without practical awareness. This point of view.

For the convenience of narration, the author first sorts out these three allusions and paraphrases.

Hearsay is an idiom, which first came from the Spring and Autumn Period Confucius** and the second biography** "Analects of Yang Goods". In that chapter, it is mentioned: "Hearsay is hearsay, and virtue is abandoned." ”

This idiom is also quoted in the Han Dynasty Bangu's "Hanshu Art and Literature Chronicles": "* The flow of the family is covered by the barnyard officials, the street talk, and the hearsay." ”

Hearsay refers to what is heard on the road and spread on the road;The metaphor is unfounded rumors.

Half-understanding is an idiom, which first came from Song Yan Yu's "Canglang Poetry: Poetry Discernment": "There is a thorough understanding, and there is a half-understanding understanding." ”

Half-understanding means that what is known and understood is only a little bit, which describes the one-sidedness of knowing and superficial understanding.

"Self-immeasurable" comes from the Western Han Dynasty. Liu Xiang "Warring States Policy: Qi Ce III": "Jing is very solid, and Xue is not trying his best. ”

Definition of self-immeasurable: quantity: estimate. You don't estimate your own abilities. Refers to overestimating one's own strength.

1. Those who call themselves "knowledge-insiders" deliberately distort and oppose the idea that "practice is the path of knowledge that anyone actually walks".

If we want to know something or something directly, we can only touch the phenomena of that thing or that only by participating in the struggle to change reality and the practice of changing something or something, and only by participating in the struggle of practice to change reality can we expose the essence of that thing or that thing and understand it.

Second, the expression of the taste of the great man before and after:

The most ridiculous thing in the world is those "knowledge hands (4)", who have a half-understanding of hearsay, and then proclaim themselves "the best in the world", which is enough to see that they are not self-sufficient.

The ridiculous thing about this sentence mentioning "knowledge" is that it is only based on unfounded rumors, and they know one-sidedly and understand it superficially. Self-proclaimed "No. 1 in the world". He regarded himself as superior to others and looked down on others. Showing an attitude of inauthenticity, inconsistency. (Antecedent). The sentence that follows is that knowledge as a whole cannot be separated from direct experience. The ** of any knowledge lies in the sense of the objective external world of a person's physical senses, and if he denies this feeling, denies direct experience, and denies his personal participation in the practice of transforming reality, he is not a materialist. The reason why "knowledgeable" is ridiculous is in this place.

The great man also used the analogy of the sentence "three denials", which is precisely the error of the "intellectual hand" and not the materialist.

In short, all true knowledge originates from direct experience. But man cannot experience everything directly, in fact most knowledge is something that is indirectly experienced, that is, all ancient and foreign knowledge. This knowledge was something that the ancients had directly experienced with outsiders, and if it was in line with what Lenin called "scientific abstraction" and scientifically reflected objective things when the ancients had direct experience with outsiders, then it was reliable, otherwise it was unreliable. -- We should not be false;Words and deeds are consistent with the heart. Not complacent, willing to accept opinions and criticism.
