So, what is wisdom? In simple terms, wisdom is intelligence and talent. It is different from what we commonly call knowledge. It is the creative application of knowledge, the elevation of knowledge, and something more valuable than knowledge itself. We say, "Knowledge is power." In reality, only when knowledge is transformed into wisdom does it become powerful. Then, where does wisdom come from? Wisdom comes from practice, from people's learning, labor, and work. However, wisdom has a hereditary quality. That is to say, the intelligence and talent of predecessors can be learned and referenced by later generations, thus becoming their own wisdom.
