There is a question on Zhihu: "Why is the house already very clean and you can't find anything?" An answerer from
replied: "Actually, this is a misunderstanding. It is completely unrelated to the tidy house and being able to find a location.
Many people are always packing things, but every time they finish cleaning, the tidy wardrobe is messed up again, and the cleaned drawers are out of order. I want to find a book to read, but I forgot to put the book on which layer of the bookshelf.
Some people may say that after using it, putting it back on the original after using it.
Some people may say that after using it, I put it back on the original after I use it.
Some people may say that the things are put back after they are used up. The problem is that "in-place" is what is the definition of "in-place"? Have we given each item an accurate positioning?
In fact, we should not complain that we can never find things, nor should we say vaguely "put back to the original position". What we should do is to classify your things .
For example, code the books at home, then place them in the order of letters, place the seasoning bottles according to the frequency of use, and store children's toys according to the type, etc. In this way, we can truly put the things back to the "in-place" after using them.
Nowadays, many big cities The city has an industry of "organizers". What the so-called "organizers" do is to classify items and establish a "collection system", that is, to build a system of "where is the original position" for every thing in the house.
But it is really expensive to ask a "organizer" to provide door-to-door services, and many people do not recognize it. Then, we can fully classify items at home according to the methods taught in Teacher Luo Bei's new book "Simplify the traditional Chinese - Solve complex problems with simple classification" , and personally classify items at home.
Teacher Luo Bei is a teacher of New Oriental 20th anniversary and founder of Hydrogen Atom , for many years, focused on "simplifying the traditional Chinese into simplicity" to help individuals and enterprises solve complex problems with simple classification.
Excellent individuals and enterprises are always doing subtraction because they have the ability to simplify the traditional Chinese into simplicity. Addition is instinct, and subtraction is wisdom.
When we encounter complex things, complex people, and complex emotions in life, the best way to deal with it is to use classification thinking, simplifying the traditional Chinese into simplicity, find the clue to solve the problem, and accurately position it.
01 Classification is instinct and science
" Zhouyi " says: "Birds of a feather flock together, and things divide into groups. "It means that all things in the world gather in categories according to their nature. This should be the earliest classification idea in China.
Ancient Chinese classics such as "Han Feizi", " Huainanzi ", " New Preface ", " Shuowen Jiezi ", "Er Ya" are all works that gather information according to "category".
is not just a book, but ancient Chinese musical instruments, herbs, etc. all follow the classification idea of gathering by category. For example:
"Bayin" means the classification of musical instruments according to different materials. The "Bayin" are: gold, stone, silk, bamboo, gu, soil, leather, and wood.
The earliest classification of Chinese herbal medicine is " Shennong Bencao Jing ". Shennong tasted all herbs and divided herbs into upper, middle and lower according to "toxic" and "nontoxic".
These are relatively primitive classification methods and are relatively general. It can be said that the earliest classification methods belong to instinctive classification .
By the Ming Dynasty, Li Shizhen 's "Compendium of Materia Medica" had made a huge breakthrough in classification. He not only sorted out the drugs and prescriptions in categories. While sorting out, he also followed the principle of from small to huge and from cheap to expensive, so that future generations can easily search among a wide range of drugs and prescriptions, and can quickly prescribe the right medicine.

from instinct classification to scientific classification, reflecting the progress of human civilization. Or it can be said that classification ideas promoted the development of human civilization and enabled human beings to find order from chaos.
scientific classification allows us to be more organized in life and work.Simplifying the complexity allows us to resolve complex contradictions in simple ways and make life easier and better.
02 Classification makes chaos clear and chaos organized
Teacher Luo Bei told a story of "Death Map" in "Simplifying the Traditional Chinese". In the mid-19th century, there was a cholera incident in London. In order to curb the spread of cholera, people tried to find ways to spread cholera.
There is a anesthesiology doctor named John Snow, who devotes himself to finding the source of cholera with compassion. He risked being infected and visited the epidemic area and conducted careful investigations, and finally found the way to spread cholera in the clues of chaos.
Doctor Snow uses a map, and every time he finds a deceased person, he marks the location on the map, and distinguishes between ordinary death and cholera death. He counted from door to door and finally discovered that cholera was spread through water, saving millions of lives.
The classification method used by Dr. Snow to draw the "death map" is to classify people in the epidemic area based on the disease as the dimension, and combine this dimension with the geographical dimension to find out the relationship between the two.
The method for Doctor Snow to find a way to spread is the classification method commonly used by to process complex data . This method is very popular now and is not common 200 years ago.
counts big data and finds the correlation between different dimensions. This thinking model is the prototype of today's big data technology.
Now, classification methods have long been applied to all walks of life. For example, the essential artifact of Internet companies is classification. The shopping website we often use is to quickly find the products we need to buy through big data classification.
According to official data, the total number of products on Taobao has exceeded 800 million. If there is no product classification, we have to browse all the products, which is to not eat, drink, or sleep. It will take 25 years to read one item in 1 second.
Now Taobao uses the synchronic classification method. It only takes a few minutes to find a product at most, which greatly improves the search efficiency.
As Mr. Chen Wei, vice president of Zhenghedao , said: "Classification makes the chaos clear and the chaos organized. The world has both the happiness of uneven and the beauty of orderly analysis."
03 Dimensions are the basis for classification, and are the soul of classification
"Turning Traditional Chinese to Simplify", the founder of New Oriental , Mr. Yu Minhong said: "This book by Luo Bei focuses on how to use classification thinking to simplify traditional Chinese to solve various problems in study and work, and also has a good inspiration for us to deal with complex problems in life."
The classification method introduced by Luo Bei mainly talks about classification according to dimensions, dimensions are the basis for classification, and are the soul of classification.
What is a dimension? For example, I will give you three words: moon, mobile phone, and book. Please divide these three words into two categories and see how many categories it can be divided into.
- The moon is the same as the mobile phone, and the books are the same. Because the moon and mobile phones can shine, books cannot shine.
2. Mobile phones and books are the same, and the moon is the same. Because the cell phone and the book are on the earth, the moon is on the sky.
3. The moon and books are the same, and the mobile phone is the same. Because the moon and books don't need to be charged, the phone needs to be charged.
These answers are classified by dimension. If you continue to think about it, these three words can also be classified from many dimensions. This is training our classification thinking ability.
If you use this classification method as a game and often play it with your children, you can cultivate your children's observation ability, induction ability and creative imagination.
Teacher Luo Bei has taught in New Oriental for 20 years. The reason why she is deeply loved by students is because she has the ability to make English simple.
For example, she found the "part of speech" dimension of the word : verb-connection-adjective-noun. Memorize the words in this order and you will soon be able to master many of the most useful words.
The "8 times of the ear-mixed word" , which started from the "listening" dimension , turned memorizing words into something that is both simple and fun, so her courses were very popular.
Another leading recommender of "Transforming Traditional Chinese to Simplify", Ideal Auto CEO O Li Xiang said: "Transforming Traditional Chinese to Simplify. It requires effective methodology, good logic, extraordinary courage, and continuous training to master such ability."
"Transforming Traditional Chinese to Simplify" is a textbook and methodology that uses simple methods to solve complex problems.
If we encounter troubles in life, if we are stuck in bottlenecks in work, if we encounter difficulties in learning. You might as well try to simplify the complex, and you will find that everything will be different from the present.
written at the end
I often hear a sentence: I understand the truth, but I still can't live my life well. Why?
Because we do not have the ability to "extract" dry goods, we cannot feel that anything is the most important to us. Classification thinking can help us solve this problem. Simplifying the complex into simplification allows us to learn to grasp the key points and resolve the main contradictions.
"Simplify the traditional Chinese - Solve complex problems with simple classification" is full of practical information, such as how to use classification thinking to manage time, how to cultivate children's classification thinking, and even Teacher Luo Bei gave guidance step by step on how to create folders.
It is worth mentioning that at the end of each chapter in the book, there is an thinking gymnastics . As long as you complete thinking gymnastics seriously, you can quickly master the essence of classified thinking - to simplify the complex. Thinking gymnastics gives us a grasp in cultivating efficient classification habits.
Emerson said: Nothing is as simple as "great". In fact, being able to be simple is great.
Life is always disturbed by us, and it is messy and messy. From now on, simplify the complexity, clarify the clues of life, find the clues of learning, organize the clues of work, live life thoroughly, and make greatness simple.
