I have several reasons for your reference:
1) "Street lamp illusion" and "Matthew effect". The former refers to Mr. Zhang Yuanshan's "Illusion of Street Lights". Please see the annex for details. The "Matthew effect" has been handed down from ancient times to the present, and it has become more and more important through appreciation from generation to generation. Nowadays, most of the contemporary articles read by people are middle and lower-class fast food, and there are few fine products. The two are in contrast, and they stand up to each other.
2) Ancient people didn't have as much entertainment and travel as modern people, so they paid more attention and stayed at home to study. Modern people have a lot of things to play with, and many things often disturb their attention (think about how many books we plan to read is just a plan).
3) The ancients studied classics, history, poetry and poetry, while the modern people need to learn the knowledge of physics, chemistry, biology, sociology, etc. from the ancient west, and the branches of modern science are increasingly diversified (such as chemistry is divided into organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, etc.), and psychology is divided into abnormal psychology, criminal psychology and social psychology. Under such circumstances, many people's energy has spread out. Wherever they study hard, they can achieve something. Why should they all learn what the ancients have learned?
4) The ancients often believed that everything is inferior, but reading is high. Nowadays, such concepts have largely disappeared. Being able to repair cars is also a skill. Being a chef is also a skill. You don't have to squeeze into one road.
5) Ancient people's poems and songs were the art of that time, while modern people have modern people's art (although ancient people's art is more difficult to master, modern people's art is often crude). Although there is a close inheritance and connection, there is a great difference between them. Comparing the poetic art of modern people with that of the ancients is like comparing the detective soldiers with the artillery, and there is no suspense in winning or losing. Why is the spiritual realm of the ancients higher than that of modern people?
This statement is a misunderstanding. Not all the ancients had a higher realm than modern people, but what you can see now is only a small number of extremely excellent or famous ancients handed down. In addition, it is also related to the ancient intellectuals' education of Confucian self-cultivation, family harmony and world peace. Why do modern people write modern poetry, but they can't write the level of the ancients?
Times are different and the world is changing. Ancient poetry describes the real life and ambitions at that time. Modern people are also the ideal to describe real life and contemporary. There is no good or bad.
The problem of education system: Ancient people mainly studied the Four Books and Five Classics from childhood, and how to write poems and articles, while modern education mainly trained students how to learn scientific knowledge. Why are modern people inferior to the ancients in literature and art?
it can't be said that they are all inferior to the ancients, just because modern people have no historical precipitation in literature and art.
First of all, language is different. In modern times, language has improved, and its directionality is clear, which makes it less likely to cause hazy feeling. As for phonology, it is difficult for modern people to accept the enlightenment of the ancients. Anyone who has studied music knows the necessity of childlike innocence, and phonology is even more difficult to choose words accurately in grasping the sound! It is estimated that there is not much change in technique, but there are too many emotional changes. Why is the knowledge and education of modern people inferior to that of the ancients?
It should be that the knowledge and education of the ancients are inferior to that of modern people.
The world is developing forward, not backward. Why is the calligraphy of modern people inferior to that of the ancients?
Ancient people can only write with pen and ink. Most of the so-called famous writers who write well have official positions, and they have more spare time. At ordinary times, they are nothing more than poetry, so they have more opportunities to write. Most modern people are on the run and write in various ways; Why can't the ancients' weapons be carried by modern people
According to the evolution process of the Olympic records, human's physical strength has been getting stronger, and it is impossible for the ancients' weapons to be carried by modern people, unless the weight of weapons in romance novels is taken as an analogy. Why the ancient people's literary self-restraint was so high
In the era around the Spring and Autumn Period, at that time, people generally called them "masters, teachers and saints", and later, there were many names.
In ancient times, many official positions also represented a very high literary status. Because only people with high literary accomplishment can be employed.
In ancient times, there were many names for people with high literary attainments and culture, especially in China, because China has a long history and culture, and there are too many literati and poets nurtured in the long history. They have all been masters for hundreds of years. Is the level of musical instrument making higher than that of modern people or ancient people?
Handmade is the best.
