Siheyuan: Returning from studying abroad, with extraordinary understanding

"In fact, I have already applied the method of contradiction analysis to this!"

Lin Changqing smiled faintly.

"Ah? Really? Why can't I feel it?"

Li Qingyue looked at Lin Changqing in confusion.

The same goes for the other four.

"I'll tell you about it."

Lin Changqing did not keep anyone in suspense:

"On Contradiction tells us that things cannot change and develop, so there are contradictions everywhere and in everything. Contradictions determine the development of things."

"Then we must analyze the contradictions and grasp the principal contradictions and the principal aspects of the contradictions. Only in this way can we avoid losing our way in our work."

"And when I teach you the method, the first step is to analyze what it is, which is consistent with the steps for analyzing contradictions."

“Think about it, where is the consistency of this first step?”

When the five people heard the question, they looked at each other in confusion. How could these two things be consistent?

Lin Changqing didn't say anything, giving the five people time to think.

Li Qingyue also began to think and recalled the content of the article "On Practice".

The first part of the article talks about two worldviews: one is a static and isolated view of the world, and the other is a dynamic (developing) and connected view of the world.

The second part talks about the particularity and universality of contradictions.

"Oh! I got it!" Li Qingyue said excitedly, "If we want to analyze contradictions, we must know the particularity of contradictions, because the particularity of contradictions determines the essence of things."

"The method Comrade Changqing taught us is that the first step is to analyze what it is, that is, to understand the particularity of the contradictions of things. Then ask why, which is to study the nature of the particularity of the contradictions."

“Why? It’s about solving the problem of the source of the contradiction and how to change it.”

"The particularity of contradictions determines the essence of things. What things are and why they are formed. Solving these two problems will reveal the essence of things!"

"That's why Comrade Changqing said that the two methods are consistent. Is that right?"

After saying that, Li Qingyue looked at Lin Changqing excitedly, waiting for the correct answer.

The other four people listened and vaguely understood, but they did not understand clearly.

"Good! Comrade Qingyue has a good understanding." Lin Changqing praised, "Tell everyone about the next steps. Don't be afraid of mistakes. I will correct or supplement them later."

"Yeah!" Li Qingyue nodded excitedly, her heart beating faster.

The sense of pride that only she understood made her whole body excited and she couldn't wait to share it with everyone.

"The next question is how to deal with it. If you know the cause, you will know the solution, but each contradiction has a different cause, so there is a saying that specific problems require specific analysis."

"In terms of how to do this, Comrade Changqing taught us to find the framework and connect everything together. This connection is actually the main contradiction."

“You must know that the development and change of things are always determined by only one main contradiction. If we resolve this main contradiction, our problems will be resolved.”

“The framework is to sort out the contradictions, grasp the main contradictions, and never deviate from the direction.”

"The last step is to summarize the rules. Contradictions come in all shapes and sizes, but they all have many similarities, which means they are connected."

"These similar contradictions can be solved using similar methods. Abstracting the commonalities among the methods is a theoretical understanding. When you encounter similar problems in the future, you can use this method to solve them."

Li Qingyue finished explaining her understanding in one breath, and then looked at Lin Changqing.

After listening to it, the other four people suddenly realized that this was the case!

The two methods do have similarities, and the method of contradiction analysis can also be used in this way.

The four of them also had a deeper understanding of the word "connection".

"Yes, Comrade Qingyue said it very well." Lin Changqing praised Li Qingyue without hesitation.

There is nothing wrong with this understanding.

"The article "On Protracted War" is a classic application of the method of contradiction analysis. The method I just taught you is too simple. If you want to learn more in depth, read this article."

"To be honest, contradictions are both difficult and easy to understand. However, it is indeed difficult to grasp the main contradiction."

"The method I teach you is not as good as the method of contradiction analysis, but it is easier for you to understand."

"The best way is to combine the two. As long as it can solve the problem, it is a good method."

Lin Changqing does not think that his method is omnipotent, nor will he belittle other methods.

He has already taught the method, so whether it is used or not is none of his business.

He would not put a knife to someone's neck and force him to use his own methods.

"How can we combine them? I feel like the two can't be combined!"

"Yes! I understand what Comrade Qingyue said just now. It feels like the two methods are just one method. There is no need to combine them!"

"I think so too."

The five people expressed their opinions one after another.

Lin Changqing shook his head and said:

"My method also has its shortcomings. It's just that you haven't discovered it."

“For example, my job is to process the same parts every day, and I want to improve my work efficiency. There are many issues to consider.”

"According to my method, the first step is to consider what it is. It can be divided into three aspects: one is my own proficiency, the second is the efficiency of the machine, and the third is my understanding of the machine and parts."

"The second step is to ask why. This is a counter-question to the above three aspects. By asking questions step by step, your understanding will deepen."

"In this step, by categorizing the problems to be solved and organizing the logical framework, the main contradiction can be found. This main contradiction is my understanding of the machine and parts."

"I naturally came up with a solution to this problem. Once this problem was solved, the main contradiction changed and became a problem of proficiency."

"Take it step by step like this until the problem is solved and you reach your goal."

“Then follow the steps, string the processes together, fix them down, and form a template.”

“In the process, it’s easy to lose sight of how well I personally know the machines and parts.”

"The contradiction analysis method can easily find this problem. Human cognition plays a decisive role in dealing with things at the beginning!"

"No! I took that into consideration when I was analyzing it! I don't think it would be overlooked."

Fang Yongji said.

"I also think it will not be ignored. This is the same as the method of contradiction analysis!" Li Qingyue also spoke.

"That makes sense, Comrade Changqing. The two should be the same. Once the main contradiction is found and the method is found, the problem can be solved!"
