Posted on July 14, 2011 by Wzhang

Translated 啟示：井底之蛙，常常被用來諷刺那些見識短淺而又盲目自大的人。世界無限廣闊，知識永無窮盡。 人類要想探索宇宙的未知奧秘，就需要努力地去改變僵化了的觀念，多學習和承傳古人的寶貴文化，開放眼光。 English Chinese Moral point: The world’s knowledge is profound. If we treat a little bit of our own knowledge as the sum of human culture, the truth of the universe will forever remain a mystery to humankind, … Continue reading →
