Compared with Dan, Meng Nan is an introverted scholar. Meng Man was an academic in the ivory tower in his early years and had little contact with social people. Besides, people in Mengmanli don't even watch TV on weekdays, and their greatest interest is to study their own history. On the other hand, Yu Dan is both academic and commercial, and he is very insightful in information dissemination. This difference may not be obvious in the course of lectures on weekdays, but once you get on a platform like Lecture Room, the situation will change. However, Yu Dan gained fame and fortune through the east wind of Lecture Room. Meng Nan, on the other hand, is mediocre. So what's the difference between them? Bian Xiao analyzed the differences between them from the perspective of scholarship.
Meng Man studies.
Strictly speaking, Meng Man's scholarship has three characteristics: horizontal singleness, vertical depth and equal knowledge. Meng Man is a scholar of traditional culture, and his research on history can be described as an orderly inheritance. At first glance, it is the kind of scholar with profound cultural background. The history of Sui and Tang Dynasties narrated by Meng Man is not only story-telling, but also theoretical. The greatest feature of Mengman's academic research is his insight. Generally speaking, it is inevitable to learn from the views and opinions of predecessors when studying history. What is commendable about Meng Man is that he can stand on the shoulders of his predecessors and put forward his own opinions. We will have a personal experience of this point in Meng Man's Series of Lecture Rooms.
Yudan Scholarship
Compared with Mengman, Yu Dan's scholarship has three main characteristics: good at catering, chicken soup for the soul and unpretentious. Yu Dan's road to fame benefited from The Analects of Confucius. There are many sages in the cultural history, such as Zhu and Wang Yangming, and they all have unique views on the interpretation of The Analects. It is very difficult to innovate again. On the basis of predecessors, Yu Dan catered to the overall impetuous mentality of quick success and instant benefit under the background of the times, and turned the interpretation of The Analects into how to please others. To some extent, Yu Dan's chicken soup for the soul is simple and rough. It smells good at first, but it feels clear as water after a long time.
Why is Yu Dan not as good as Meng Nan?
In the academic field, Yu Dan is not as rigorous as Mengman; Outside of academics, Yu Dan is not as low-key as Mengman. This reason has to be said to be realistic and special. Why do you see it? At present, there are very few professors who really settle down to study knowledge. The world is bustling for profit, who can sit on the bench to learn? I have to say, Brother Meng is much better than most people for he can calm down and delve into learning. People have seen Meng Nan selling his books in public, but this is not the case! This is where Yu Dan is not as good as Meng Man, but the fact is another matter.
As we all know, today's society is a society in which knowledge is realized. Whoever can grasp the way of realizing knowledge can grasp the enthusiasm of the Internet age. Yu Dan naturally knows the inside story and is not short of money. In her beautiful years, the copyright tax alone was as high as one million dollars. On the other hand, Meng Nan, since he became famous, has been conscientious, rarely showing people with utilitarian heart, just doing his job in a down-to-earth manner. The reality is that people who really engage in academics are willing to stay poor, while those who don't know much about learning have their incomes close to the peak of their lives. How realistic!
Generally speaking, Yu Dan was also a cultural scholar before Mengman. You can't slap him to death. The man said in front of Meng must be so unbearable. But in Bian Xiao's view, Yu Dan is not as good as Meng Man academically, which is one of the reasons why Yu Dan is unbearable in front of Meng Man. As for the reason why Yu Dan was unbearable in front of Mengman, Bian Xiao has already introduced it above. In a word, the reason is realistic and special. What do you think of Mengman and Yu Dan?
