I think the avenue to Jane has two meanings:
The first meaning is to express the scientific truth, the truth of life and the beauty of the soul in a few words in simple and plain language.
For example, Einstein's famous mass-energy relationship: e = MC 2, which is a simple letter, expresses the infinite mystery of the relationship between mass and energy in the universe, and there are only a few axioms of Euclid geometry, but a few words have the beauty of mathematics. It's all about science
Various idioms and aphorisms in China traditional culture are also the best embodiment of simplicity. Needless to say, the famous "augmented sage" is also a model of simplicity. Many famous intellectual sayings in it, such as "a porridge and a meal are hard to come by, and a half-persistent thought is hard to achieve", "suffering losses and being modest and profitable" and so on, are regarded as the norms of life and work. It can be said that life is wise.
In fact, as early as thousands of years ago, Lao Tzu revealed the truth that the road is simple. Laozi's Tao Te Ching is 5,000 words, which is as expensive as gold. For example, "Tao can be extraordinary, fame can be extraordinary", and even think that the real avenue needs no words and cannot be said. There is also a well-known word "goodness is like water", which has become the philosophy of life of China people. Many calligraphers are committed to writing these four words well to improve their self-cultivation. More than 5,000 words in Tao Te Ching are wise sayings, and many scholars have given them a lot of play. But no matter how you play, the avenue is the simplest, and if you play too much, it will be vulgar. And Confucius' The Analects of Confucius is also a simple model. The Buddha twisted the flowers without saying a word, and also realized the simplicity and profundity of the avenue. It tells the beauty of the soul.
The second meaning, that is to say, the avenue is included in very ordinary things and in very ordinary life. I have a saying, what is Tao? Where is Dao? He said that in the ripples, Tao is drowned in shit ... The real avenue is ordinary, but profound. What is the avenue of life? It is to live a good life and be a real person, which is the reproduction and spread of love from generation to generation. Tao is not a grandstanding thing, but a passing sight.
Teacher Zhu Jiaxiong, a famous expert in early childhood education, said in his blog that once he visited a technology company, he saw a sentence on the wall in front of him as the culture of the company, which said, "If the mission of our generation is to connect with the world, then the mission of the next generation will be to surpass it." A very simple sentence tells the mission and responsibility of generations in our country. But he said he couldn't remember when and where he said that. Finally, he had to say that this was probably said casually at a meeting or discussion. What is "just saying"? The profound truth is simple and clear. Who will remember the ordinary words he said when and where in life? For example, it's time to eat. The simplest truth is also contained in ordinary life.
The road to simplicity is simple, which is daily life! If our work, life, work and research can follow the principle of minimalism, then it is real work, real life, real work and real research.
