"Hey, the deer roars, eating the apples of the wild. I have a guest, playing the harp and the sheng."
This famous line from "The Book of Songs: Deer Ming" was later quoted by Cao Cao in In the famous song "Dan Ge Xing", I would like to quote a passage here, because in addition to feelings, there is also a prophecy a thousand years later.
Drinking and singing, how is life! Like morning dew, it will be more painful every day.
Generosity should be treated with generosity, and worries will be unforgettable. How to relieve worries? Only Du Kang.
Green Zi Jin, my heart is leisurely. But for your sake, I still ponder it.
The deer roars, eating apples in the wild. I have guests, harp blowing Sheng.
I think you may not understand what these sentences are talking about, but they are catchy and make people feel comfortable. This is the charm of "The Book of Songs". Of course, Tu Youyou's name comes from the Book of Songs, and there are many, many names that sound good but don't understand what they mean. They also come from the Book of Songs, such as "I long for the Huaiyi people and come to offer their Chen". "Chen" actually means treasure. So if you don't know what to name your child in the future, you might as well open the "Book of Songs" and read a few sentences at random. Whichever sentence sounds easy to read, use that sentence as the child's name to ensure that it is fashionable, nice, and full of heritage.
I think this is how Tu Youyou’s parents named their child. Yoyo is the cry of a deer. I have never heard it, but it must be a distant and beautiful sound! I don't think his parents knew that this seemingly random name actually concealed the fate of this lovely girl.
What kind of plant is Pingmi? Some people say that it is actually a kind of wormwood. So can you translate these four sentences together like this?
The deer is chirping and eating the artemisia in the wild; all the great scientists from all over the world, come to my banquet and let’s celebrate together by playing the harp and sheng!
The prophecy came true!
This person named Tu Youyou has been walking smoothly and steadily along the route planned in the "Book of Songs" throughout his life. She discovered Artemisia annua and artemisinin, promoted the development of anti-malarial work, and then won the Nobel Prize. Scientists all over the world were celebrating her and cheering for this great discovery.
Looking at the Book of Songs in this way, does it have magical power?
In fact, no matter in which era, scientific workers like Tu Youyou are lucky. Because she can spend her whole life witnessing a major scientific discovery made by herself that benefits people. Most scientists will not be so lucky. They may spend their entire lives in obscurity.
Can we imagine how Tu Youyou would behave when she saw the experimental results of 100% inhibition of malaria parasites for the first time? Will you jump up and cry while hugging your colleagues? Will he run around like crazy and throw all the lab papers in the air? Will you laugh and shout excitedly and cheer for joy? Or just have a knowing smile with your colleagues, and then say lightly, "Let's go out to eat well tonight, I'll treat you"! Or she just said softly: Yes, I understand.
Which style is more like hers? We don't know. But we can really feel the joy that overflows in her heart. That kind of happiness, warm and real!
I am reminded of the words of US President Jefferson: "Our generation is destined to engage in military and political affairs on horseback, in order to allow the next generation to engage in science and technology, and to allow the next generation to engage in culture and art. , we are the transmitters in this historical chain. ”
We can make a bold imagination. If science is developed enough and human society progresses enough, the kindergarten education that people are exposed to when they are young will already have it. If the work level and ability of modern scientific researchers have been improved, will the things they played in their childhood be what today's advanced scientists play in the laboratory? It’s just that they don’t have the purpose of solving human problems, they just play. For their own vanity, they want to synthesize more beautiful crystals than their friends, they want to find more interesting chemical reactions, and they want to make electromagnetism Various changes under the background of sound and light! You think that kind of childhood would be less desolate and boring!
Green Zi Jin, my heart is leisurely.
