"How do you know all this, Lu Jiu?"
Tian Xuelin didn't expect Lu Jiu's knowledge to be so extensive.
Understanding Chinese medicine is one thing, but he even knows astronomy.
"I told you to read more, but you insisted on feeding pigs. Naturally, everything seems impressive now. The little I know is nothing to the ancients. Although technology has advanced, and you and I have easier access to knowledge, in terms of wisdom, we can't hold a candle to our ancestors," Lu Jiu said.
Knowledge and wisdom are entirely different things.
Having knowledge doesn't mean having wisdom, whereas with wisdom, one can see the essence of all knowledge.
This is actually the difference between form and spirit.
Many knowledge and principles in the world are very simple, but in the process of transmission, they have become increasingly complicated and cumbersome.
