No one has ever said this. Everyone thinks that smart people are born that way or are carefully brought up by their families, and it has nothing to do with them.
Now that Qiao Yu said this, everyone was stunned.
"Yu, are you saying that you are not born smart, but that you think too much when you encounter things?" someone asked.
"Yes, that's right," Qiao Yu said. "So when you encounter difficulties in the future, don't always think about asking others for help or relying on them. You have to find a solution yourself. Maybe you can solve the problem just by thinking about it a little bit."
"If you encounter a problem that you just can't solve no matter how hard you try, ask someone else. While they're solving it, you should also think about how they solved it and why they did it that way. The next time you encounter a similar problem, you'll be able to handle it the same way. That's learning."
She raised the wooden spatula in her hand. "Like this one, I just made it. Can you do it too? Next time we encounter something like this, maybe we can make something similar."
Everyone was thoughtful.
Qiao Yu looked at everyone with a serious expression: "Not only do you need to study, but the children must learn even more. If our tribe wants to become stronger, it's not enough to just hunt prey and avoid starvation. We also need advanced technology."
Having said this, she stopped and didn't say anything more.
She wants to wait for everyone to think and digest the idea, and also hopes that someone will raise questions.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Yan asked, "What do you mean by advanced technology?"
Qiao Yu gave him an admiring look. As expected, he was Lu's meticulously trained, Shan's highly regarded junior. Yan was indeed a bit stronger than the others.
She said, "We set traps and dig pits to hunt. Isn't it easier and more rewarding than hunting with brute force like before?"
Everyone nodded.
Some people suddenly realized: "Is this advanced technology?"
"Yes," Qiao Yu said. "Think about the trap I used. Whether it's the vines I chose, the method of tying the trap, or the location of the trap, there's a lot of technical content involved."
When she speaks now, she doesn't shy away from using modern terms just to appease these primitive people. She wants to influence them to reach higher levels, not let them lower their standards. Her words might not be understood at first, but once she explains them, they'll understand; and with repeated use, they'll learn to use them.
To enrich language, impart knowledge, stimulate thinking, and advance humanity, it all depends on progressive progress. Standing at the pinnacle of civilization, she will subtly influence these people, teaching them by word and deed, bringing them to a level not far removed from her own. This is the essence of education.
Sure enough, although everyone did not understand what "advanced technology" and "technical content" meant, they still understood the meaning of these words based on the context of what Qiao Yu said.
Everyone nodded vigorously: "Yes."
"This is advanced technology!" Qiao Yu emphasized.
"For example, when we skin animals, why do some people do it well and others don't? Why can some people sharpen bone knives and stone knives while others can't? This is a question of whether we need to use our brains, and there is a technical level involved. Things we can easily learn have low technical content; things that are very complex and difficult to learn, and cannot be mastered without careful study and a long time, have high technical content."
"For example, the bamboo tubes I make are easy to make, but the pottery of the Sun Tribe is something we can't even begin to understand. This is because of the technical content. The higher the technical content, the higher the value."
When she gave this example, everyone suddenly understood: So that's it.
And these are things they have never thought of.
"In short, everyone should keep learning and thinking. The more you learn and the more you think, the more you will know, and the smarter you will become. This is especially true for children. If we pass on the knowledge and experience we know to them from a young age, will they be smarter than us? Will our tribe become stronger with each generation?" Qiao Yu began to paint a rosy picture for them.
Primitive people who have never had chicken soup are particularly easy to be fooled.
Imagining the blueprint drawn by Qiao Yu, everyone suddenly became excited: "Wow, our tribe will definitely be more powerful than the Sun Tribe in the future."
"Yes, if everyone is as powerful and smart as Yu, our tribe might actually be stronger than the Sun Tribe."
In everyone's perception, the Sun Tribe is the most powerful.
Qiao Yu still had things to do, so he handed the bone knife to Shu. "Everyone, just follow my method and make a wooden shovel. As for the wooden shovel, we haven't dug a pit and hunted prey yet, so don't tell them about it yet. Let's dig a pit and set a trap tomorrow, and tell them about it the day after tomorrow when we hunt prey. That way, we can surprise everyone."
Everyone imagined that scene and laughed, and assured each other: "Don't worry, Yu, we know it."
Qiao Yu was watching everyone making wooden shovels when he saw the second and third hunting teams walking towards him from the direction of the tribe.
It was obvious that they had just returned to the tribe and heard about the great achievements of the first team today, so they came here to seek advice.
"Yu, can you teach us how to set traps?" Cang asked Qiao Yu with anticipation.
