Observation
觀察。“觀”是人們認(rèn)識(shí)事物的一種方式。一般而言，“觀”指觀察者置身于事物之外，通過冷靜觀察來了解事物存在、運(yùn)行的樣態(tài)。“觀”不同于一般意義上的“看”，“觀”是對(duì)事物更全面、更持久的觀察。通過這樣的觀察，人們得以更深入地探究事物存在的依據(jù)及其運(yùn)行所遵循的規(guī)則。
Guan (觀), namely observation, is a way for individuals to understand things. Generally speaking, it refers to the observer being outside of the thing being observed and using calm observation to examine and understand the existence and operation of that thing. Guan is different from the general meaning of kan (看 looking). It implies a more comprehensive and long-term observation of things. Through this kind of observation, people can delve more deeply into the basis of things and the rules they follow.
