In Mencius: Jin Xin I, Mencius said: “Yangzi’s principle is ‘for oneself.’ He would not pluck a single hair from his body to benefit the world. Mozi advocates ‘universal love.’ If it would benefit the world, he would do it, even if it meant wearing himself out from head to heel. Zimo holds to the middle ground. Holding to the middle is closer to the right way, but to hold to the middle without weighing circumstances is the same as holding to one extreme. The reason for hating those who hold to one extreme is that they damage the Way, upholding one point while neglecting a hundred others.” ...

Living abroad, whenever I’m at a party and things get lively, there are always a few people with a sense of ‘superior civilization’ superiority who feign innocence and ask me: “Do Chinese people eat dogs?” Their eyes are often thirty percent curiosity and seventy percent judgment. It’s as if my nod would instantly devolve me from a modern human into a blood-drinking barbarian. I’ve long since stopped rushing to explain. Instead, I smile and ask back: “Do you drink milk? Do you eat veal?” ...

Spain has a system of free and compulsory education for ages 6 to 16, covering 6 years of primary school and 4 years of secondary school. 📚 School Hours and Tuition Differences Spanish Public Schools: School hours are from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, with 4 classes per day. Education is free. Spanish Private and International Schools: School hours are typically from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with 6 classes per day. The median tuition for private schools is approximately €6,000/year (about 50,000 RMB). International schools cost around €8,000/year (about 70,000 RMB). Costs vary significantly by grade level, region, and school, with differences of up to 1-2 times the median. 🏫 Teaching Staff and Pedagogical Features Teacher absenteeism is relatively high in Spain. A doctor’s note for sick leave is legally binding, and paid sick leave can be granted over the phone. Primary schools generally use a “generalist” system, where a single teacher teaches multiple subjects like English, math, humanities, science, art, and physical education, which may limit subject-specific expertise. Subject-specific teaching only begins in secondary school. The saying “the gym teacher taught my math” is not a joke in Spain but a result of the generalist system in primary schools. Exam scores are not ranked. 🈯 Language of Instruction and Multilingual Environment International schools primarily use English for instruction. Private and public schools mainly use Spanish. Autonomous communities like Valencia and Catalonia require students to learn the local regional language. In secondary school, a second foreign language such as French or German is added, making the multilingual workload demanding. 📖 Workload and Holiday Schedule There is less homework. The academic year is divided into three terms, with a total of about 160–180 instructional days. Holidays are long. 🇨🇳 Comparison with Basic Education in China Public Schools: School hours are from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with 6–8 classes per day. Education is free, with some regions offering after-school programs. Private/International Schools: 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM, with evening self-study sessions starting in middle school, which do not exist in Spain. Private: Approx. 60,000 RMB/year International: Approx. 180,000 RMB/year The academic year is divided into two semesters, with over 190 instructional days. 🏟️ Disparity in Campus Facilities International schools in China often have campuses exceeding 100 acres, featuring heated swimming pools, theaters, multimedia libraries, maker labs, Olympic-standard stadiums, and even equestrian centers, golf courses, and drone and robotics labs. In contrast, Spanish schools are modest and compact, with simpler facilities. 📘 Curriculum and Difficulty Many people believe that primary school math in China is much harder than abroad, but this is a long-standing misconception. ...

Almost everyone has heard the old saying, “A turtle for a thousand years, a tortoise for ten thousand.” In Chinese culture, turtles and tortoises are seen as symbols of longevity, as if they are naturally destined to outlive several human generations. But here’s the question: Has there ever really been a turtle that lived for a thousand years? Many people see a giant turtle or tortoise and exclaim, “Wow, this one must be hundreds of years old!” While such statements might “sound reasonable,” they actually don’t stand up to scrutiny. ...

The ethnic structure of Europe is not fixed from antiquity but was gradually formed through a long historical process of prehistoric population migrations, language replacement, political conquest, and religious integration. The following sections outline the main stages and structural features of European ethnogenesis in chronological order. I. Neolithic Era: Near Eastern Farmers Enter Europe (c. 7000–5000 BCE) Source Near Eastern Fertile Crescent, Anatolia Paternal Genetic Signature Represented by Haplogroup J (especially J2) (not exclusively, but a significant proportion in the early agricultural diffusion) ...

We are accustomed to thinking that “the West has always been ahead of China,” but this is actually a historical illusion shaped in reverse by the outcome of the Industrial Revolution. I. The “Rear-View Mirror” Illusion of History Today, many Chinese people have an almost unconscious belief: the West seems inherently more advanced than China. But this is a typical historical illusion, “reverse-engineered” by the outcome of the Industrial Revolution. ...

Throughout human history, a certain class of questions has been asked repeatedly for millennia. What is time? Does life have meaning? Must we fear death? Do we truly have free will? Where do good and evil come from? These questions have long been categorized under “philosophy” or “metaphysics,” shrouded in layers of myth, religion, metaphor, and strong emotion. But today, with the advancements in physics, neuroscience, and information theory, we have the opportunity for the first time to— ...

When many people use an AI chatbot for the first time, they might feel like it ‘remembers’ what was said before. For example, if you ask a question and then follow up on it a little later, it can still connect the dots. This leads to a common question: Does AI actually have memory? Let’s start with the conclusion: An AI’s ‘memory’ is not the file-based memory we imagine. It relies on predicting with parameter weights, not on hard-drive-style storage. ...

In Spain, commercial parking lots are generally expensive. A few hours can easily cost tens of euros, which is a significant expense. To save money, consider using free roadside parking spots or the paid blue zone parking spaces provided by the municipality. Blue zone parking spaces are cheaper, costing around €1 per hour. However, paying manually can be a hassle. You need to go to a nearby payment machine, enter your license plate number and parking duration, and pay with coins or a card. If you leave early, the refund process is also quite complicated. Therefore, it’s highly recommended to use a convenient parking payment app for online payments and flexible billing, which is more economical and practical. ...

Medieval Christian Europe experienced a systematic interruption of Greek mathematics, philosophy, and science due to linguistic fragmentation, the collapse of the educational system, and religious monopoly. In contrast, Greek knowledge was fully preserved, translated, and developed in the Byzantine and Islamic worlds. It eventually returned to Europe through cross-civilizational transfer, igniting the Renaissance. Many people subconsciously assume that: Since Europe is the successor to ancient Greece and Rome, then mathematics, philosophy, and science should have been passed down naturally through the ages. ...

Religion: A 4,000-Year “War for the Right to Interpret” In the early days of human civilization, religion was like a chaotic “startup competition.” Initially, our ancestors were timid: They called the thunder ‘father’ They called the rain ‘mother’ And thus, the primitive worship of “animism” was born. Later on— The ancient Egyptians deified their pets (jackals, cats) The ancient Greeks raised a group of “superpowered giant babies” on Mount Olympus Zeus and his family, instead of doing anything productive, spent their days cheating and bickering. ...

When the massive parameters of a large language model intertwine into a web within the information space, the ‘intelligence’ it exhibits is not a mysterious consciousness, but a natural product of emergence, self-organization, and high-dimensional information structures. And inspiration, perhaps, is merely the projection of a quantum fluctuation in a six-dimensional space onto our four-dimensional spacetime. We are always amazed by the ‘cleverness’ of AI— It can write articles, reason, and code, sometimes even creating the illusion: ...

1. How to Study for the Theory Test It is highly recommended not to just cram questions, because: The question bank is vast. The English version has over 200 sets of tests, each with 30 questions, totaling more than 6,000 questions. Completing them all is time-consuming and exhausting. The translations and questions in the bank may not be accurate, and the answers could be wrong. The actual exam questions are not taken directly from the question bank, so finishing it is not a guarantee. The knowledge in the question bank is fragmented and not systematic. Without systematic learning, you might not be able to answer if a question is phrased differently. Efficient Learning Method: Since I took the English exam, the following content is based on English materials. ...
