Looking back at the thousands of years of civilized history of the Chinese nation, in every aspect of social life, the brilliance of wisdom shines brilliantly everywhere. These are not only our country's treasures but also the invaluable wealth of the entire world and all of humanity. 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 sublimation of knowledge, and something more valuable than knowledge. We say, "Knowledge is power." In reality, only when knowledge is transformed into wisdom does it become powerful. So, 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 the predecessors can be learned and referenced by the later generations, thus becoming their own wisdom.
