Sun's Grey Theory
1940, Sun was born in a tailor's home in Wenzhou. Sun Wanpeng grew up in an alley when he was young. He is a natural leader and enjoys high prestige among his friends. Whenever he launched a "war", he would majestically wave a wooden mauser gun and order his "Snuff General" to make an expedition to the north. At school, he is enthusiastic about activities such as caring for his family and caring for the elderly, so he is often praised by his teachers, and Wenzhou Radio also praised him. It's just that this "general" has no interest in learning and wants to doze off as soon as he picks up the book. Especially when I have a headache in arithmetic class, I get upset. Being in the classroom, the heart is in the "battlefield". His prestige among his classmates is increasing day by day, but his academic performance is getting worse and worse. In the end, he simply ignored it. He thought, fuck you, arithmetic class! Fuck you, add, subtract, multiply and divide! He played truant as soon as he had arithmetic class. ? Skipping class is really exciting. Slowly, other classes are also skipped, and the grades are getting worse and worse. At 60: 50, Xiao skipped school and started all the courses of "Hanging the Red Lantern High". The teacher shook his head: rotten wood can't be carved! ? It is said that a stick makes a dutiful son, and a stick makes a talent. But when the old tailor was a child, the ruler that played truant hit his ass, and even the shadow of a talent didn't come out of his ass. Boy, if you don't study hard, don't regret making you a tailor! ? After graduating from primary school, the old tailor's sewing shop had a little tailor.
Stop reading! Made clothes! Oh, so happy! ? At first, I was overjoyed, and soon I was like a withered seedling: it turns out that there are still things in the world that suffer from reading! ? Get up at 5 o'clock in the morning, remove the door panel of the shop-the door panel is half taller than his body, clean the workshop, fetch water, boil water, and work after dinner. As soon as the initial apprenticeship was over, the old tailor stipulated that 22 pairs of trousers should be made a day, and the thunder could not move. If you don't do well, you won't eat or sleep. This "no sleep" really hurts the young tailor who is at the age of drowsiness. At first, he was not skilled in business. He often works until midnight 12 or even one or two. Several times, the sewing machine clicked and he fell asleep. He screamed "wow", and the sewing needle sewed his fingers and clothes together, and the clothes were dyed red with bright red blood. The old tailor didn't care. While dressing him, he muttered, "It's not that delicate. When I was a child ... "I have to continue to do it after I have wrapped it. ? At this time, the little tailor realized that the day of studying was like heaven. How many times did he look up and see his little friend carrying a schoolbag to school? He is both envious and regretful. At this time, he felt how cordial the teacher's inculcation became and the knowledge in the book became vivid. Even those annoying characters seem to stick their heads out of the book and wave to him. A deep regret welled up in 13-year-old boy's tender heart: how nice it is to study! ? The old tailor's education method received miraculous effect, and the naughty little tailor finally repented. ? A year later, the old tailor made a firm decision: to start the young tailor's studies again. ? When the little tailor took up his schoolbag and set foot on the road to study again, his study changed qualitatively: from weariness to love. That year's "tightening muscles and bones" completely changed his stubborn habits and he became a famous top student in Wenzhou No.4 Middle School.
From 65438 to 0959, he was admitted to Zhejiang Agricultural University with the first total score. After graduation, Sun was assigned to the Agriculture Department of Zhejiang Province. Then came the Cultural Revolution. 1970, he and 10 1 the cadres of the ministries and agencies were decentralized. This release was put underground-to dig coal in Changguang Coal Mine. The experience of Changguang Coal Mine has influenced Sun Yisheng's fate, which is a test of life. ? When I first came to the mine, a slogan caught his attention: "Work or die!" Sun Yang Wan Peng wants to know why miners have such a negative attitude towards life. This question was quickly dispelled by the cruel reality. He went down to the mine more than 300 meters deep and began to dig coal. He only dug 10 for more than a minute when he heard a loud noise. After a while, several bloody people were carried out, one of whom was the company commander. 10 More than a minute ago, it was this company commander who took him down to the mine. Now he and the company commander are separated by yin and yang. A few days later, the leg of one of Sun's colleagues was crushed, causing a comminuted fracture. "Life and death!" It is precisely because there are so many dead people in coal mines that coal miners are ready to give their lives at any time. ? It was in this unforgettable experience that he met a man who changed his fate to some extent and became his lifelong friend. ? This man is Gu, a famous playwright in Zhejiang. His film "The Silkworm Flower Girl" once swept the country. He got his name because of his writing, but also got into trouble because of his writing: he became a "ghostly" and "reactionary academic authority" and was sent to the coal mine for labor reform. ? At that time, both Sun and Gu lived in the coal mine guest house, but Sun respected this "reactionary academic authority". After knowing Gu, Sun, who is eager to learn, has a strong interest in script creation, and sometimes asks writers about script creation. Once, a colleague gave him a bag of tremella, and the young couple thought of asking Gu to taste it. That day, Sun's wife Wu Wenshang poured all the bags of tremella into a big bowl and soaked them in hot water. This is her first time to burn tremella. After a while, the tremella swelled like fermentation and rose from the bowl. She had to pour it into the steel pot, but soon it was full, so she had to pour it into the washbasin. In this way, they burned a washbasin full of tremella. ? The couple warmly invited Gu to go home and held a big basin of tremella. ? Auricularia auricula was a very precious tonic and a rarity in the early 1970s. Facing the tremella in the washbasin and two young smiling faces, Gu's eyes were moist. Who has looked up to him since he became a ghost? There is only discrimination and humiliation. Who can respect this pile of smelly dog shit that is particularly afraid of stepping on his shoes? He ran back suddenly and hurried back to his residence. After a while, he returned with a book in his hand. "Well, here you are. You like writing plays. This book is useful. " He said. ? The book that Sun took over is a new version of poetic rhyme. ? From then on, a playwright and a young man who studied agriculture but loved writing became good friends. Sun humbly asked for advice and gave careful advice. Sun is a very understanding person. Seeing that the script rhymes with the new poem, I soon wrote a script called "Battle Hymn of the Coal Sea". Jiaxing Peking Opera Troupe discovered the New World and immediately decided to rehearse. The whole group went to Changguang Coal Mine to experience life. After the play came out, they toured around and became famous in Zhejiang for a time. ? Since then, he has become a literary and artistic creator of Sun Coal Mine. He spends every day in the mine library, turning his books upside down. After two years in the coal mine, Sun wrote more than 10 scripts. A young playwright is about to emerge. ? However, after Lin Biao's setback, Sun was transferred back to the Ministry of Agriculture. There is a civil servant in the office, but a playwright is missing in China. However, his writing experience left a foreshadowing for future writing. ? God sent a great mission to Sri Lanka? 1982, Sun, who was then the deputy director of Zhejiang Agricultural Reclamation Bureau, was sent to the Central Party School to study. A year later, he was appointed as the director of the Agriculture Department, becoming the youngest director of agriculture in China and the youngest director-level cadre in Zhejiang Province. ? 1984, the Ministry of Agriculture asked Zhejiang to transfer Sun as the Deputy Minister of Agriculture. At that time, Wang Fang, secretary of Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, disagreed. He said: "We should use this cadre ourselves." I talked with Sun and hoped that he would work in the county and government for several years and arrange more important work when he came back. Rumor has it that he is the future vice governor. ? During his tenure as director of agriculture, he took the lead in institutional reform in the country, set up economic entities in the agricultural sector, changed state-owned farms from administrative command to management service, and developed agricultural, industrial and commercial enterprises. In order to experience the rural reform more comprehensively and guide the reform practice, Sun offered to work at the grassroots level. 1986, came to huangyan as the county party secretary. ? At that time, the tide of reform in China was surging, and Huangyan, located between Wenzhou and Ningbo, was facing a critical moment of economic system reform. What kind of economic model should Huangyan learn? Learning from Wenzhou focuses on developing individual and private enterprises, and learning from Ningbo to imitate the collective enterprise model of villages and towns in southern Jiangsu. In the choice of economic model, Huangyan is hesitating and wandering. ? After Sun arrived in Huangyan, he invited experts from China Renmin University and other universities to visit Huangyan for "consultation". He found that a new economic model with strong vitality has sprouted in Huangyan, that is, the shareholding system. After extensive research, he proposed: "Huangyan should take advantage of peace and warmth and take its own path: engage in joint-stock system!" When he gave a report to the cadres in party member County, he publicly stated: "The shareholding system is an economic form of modern enterprises, and capitalism can be used as well as socialism. The shareholding system is not unique to capitalism, but a common phenomenon in the commodity economy, and no one can stop this trend of developing the shareholding system economy.
Unconsciously, Sun has applied the thinking of grey theory to the practical work in the future. As he later said, "My grey science theory first sprouted in Huangyan." ? 1986,101On October 23rd, the county government of Huangyan County issued the first systematic policy document on joint-stock cooperative system issued by local party committees and governments: some policy opinions on joint-stock enterprises. Since then, Huangyan joint-stock cooperative system has developed rapidly. After 1986 10, Huangyan's economy grew at an average annual rate of 37.86%, and its industrial economy was one of the top ten counties and cities in Zhejiang Province, which was related to Sun's vigorous advocacy of the shareholding system. ? Huangyan was the hardest hit area of the "Cultural Revolution" in Zhejiang Province, with serious factionalism and complicated personnel relations. It is the county with the most letters and complaints from the masses. After the Cultural Revolution, the provincial party committee dealt with the factionalism of Huangyan. Because it was not handled carefully enough, it hurt the hearts of a group of cadres, and there were still mistakes in handling some cadres. However, the leader of the provincial party Committee responsible for dealing with this problem is Sun, the immediate boss. What should I do? Mistakes must be corrected! When attending the enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Sun publicly put forward his views, cut the gordian knot, and rehabilitated several wronged cadres. This incident has aroused strong repercussions in Zhejiang Province, especially in the local area. Cadres are calm and steady, and their work enthusiasm has improved. Factionalism and personnel disputes in Huangyan have also been resolved, and Sun's work in Huangyan has been carried out smoothly.
Sun's concern, support and help for education are unprecedented in Huangyan's history. 1986165438+1October 10, teachers' reception day was set up in huangyan county. This is the earliest teacher reception day in Zhejiang Province. When the news came out, teachers swarmed in. Education has been destroyed 10 years, and the backlog is like a mountain, riddled with holes and terrible. He resolutely rehabilitated false and wrongful cases, carried out the intellectual policy, and solved many unsolved cases among the teaching staff over the years. After 65,438+00 months in office, Sun went to more than 65,438+000 schools. After liberation, 26 county party secretaries have never been to Baishi Township, the most remote township. He climbed the mountain for more than six hours and stayed for four nights. The poverty of education in this county made him very uneasy. After a detailed understanding of the current situation of Huangyan Education, he wrote a long letter to six teams in the county, in which he wrote: "Today, there are 80 primary and secondary schools with dangerous buildings/KLOC-0, covering an area of more than 20,000 square meters, including Grade I dangerous buildings17,000 square meters. We also let thousands of teachers and students study and live under the condition that their lives are not guaranteed. How can the party's heart and conscience stand it? " In his letter, he also put forward five opinions on the development of Huangyan education. Then, he took the lead in donating money to run education, which triggered a large fund-raising activity in the county and opened the prelude to completely changing the face of Huangyan education. ? During his two years in Huangyan, Sun rose like a new star in Ran Ran, Zhejiang's political arena. People praised him as an honest and clean secretary who loves the people. ? However, just as the ship of his life was sailing for the ideal harbor, a storm broke out in his life-he was terminally ill and dying. ? Race against death? Autumn in Hangzhou is the most beautiful season of the year. The golden wind is refreshing, Gui Xiang is overflowing, the sun is shining, and the sunshine is particularly bright. However, for Sun, the beauty of nature has been unable to attract his attention, and a thick cloud in life is floating towards him in the beautiful nature, covering his gorgeous life. At the moment, he trudged into Zhejiang Hospital. ? From September 65438 to September 0988, Sun traveled to major hospitals in Zhejiang, Beijing, Hebei and other places, and the diagnosis results were strikingly similar: liver cancer ... The examination in Zhejiang hospital is the same: B-ultrasound showed a lump at the junction of liver and gallbladder, and the doctor diagnosed it as liver cancer, and it was advanced ...? The last glimmer of hope was shattered, and Sun fully understood that doctors can't make mistakes, and modern technology is beyond doubt. A burst of endless pain welled up in my heart. Cancer, the devil, why does he pursue his family so desperately? A year ago, his sister died of cancer, and the cancer site was exactly the same as his; Time went by 1985, and both his parents died of cancer within one month. In just two years, the lives of his three relatives were swallowed up by cancer. Now, the devil has opened his mouth to him again ... one year, this is the doctor's judgment.
Everything is over, the cruel reality is naked in front of him, and only death awaits him. Glory is gone, and the road of life is moving towards the last journey. Lying in the ward, Sun calculated the limit of his life, and his mind was full of thoughts. Pain and despair filled his mind. But, just leave this world? He didn't want to. So, what can we do for the society in the last stage of life? He thought of the gray system. ? The first contact with the grey system is 1982. At that time, Sun was studying at the Central Party School. A short message caught his attention: Professor Deng Julong, doctoral supervisor of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, initiated the theory of grey system, and his paper "Control of Grey System" was recommended by Comrade Song Jian and published in the international authoritative magazine "System and Control Communication", which caused great repercussions internationally. He found this paper and carefully read the chapter "Grey System" written by Professor Deng with mathematical methods. He couldn't help being very excited. Shennong's information theory, Thom's catastrophe theory, Haken's synergetic theory, I.llyaPrigogine's dissipative structure theory, and various theories of system theory and cybernetics were founded by foreigners. Now, China people have finally created a new theory in this field, which is the glory of China people! ? However, after carefully reading Professor Deng's paper, Sun found that this new theory reveals the logical relationship within the gray system in mathematical language for the first time, but it still belongs to the field of natural science. Philosophy is a nobleman in all disciplines. If we can observe the world from the height of philosophy and explain it with philosophy, this new discipline will reach the highest and most perfect realm. If we can dig deep into the philosophical connotation from uncertainty to certainty, this new theory will never be inferior to the dissipative structure theory of "from chaos to order" that just won the Nobel Prize. ? Sun once wrote to Deng Julong to state his views. Professor Deng couldn't restrain his excitement after receiving the letter, and immediately wrote back, hoping that Sun could continue to explore the theory of grey system from philosophy and make up for his own research deficiencies.
It is impossible for Sun to give up administrative work and engage in the study of grey system theory. But he was obviously attracted by this brand-new theory and couldn't hold back his strong interest. He took advantage of the opportunity of studying in the Central Party School to collect the relevant materials of grey system theory, read a large number of monographs on system theory, cybernetics and information theory, and made more than 3,000 cards, which laid a solid theoretical foundation for future research. His diligence was praised by the party school leaders. President Wang Zhen also took his business card to the school exhibition and called on students to learn from him. ? Now, the disease has provided him with the opportunity to realize his long-cherished wish, and he has time to write the research experience of that year! His spirit perked up. ? He moved Deng Julong's monograph "Grey System" into the ward and began to sort out the classified data. In the process of finishing, many new ideas sprouted, and he immediately recorded them, found out the rules, and then formed a system. ? He studies Chinese and Western medicine and Qigong. The pain in the liver is abnormal, and sweat as big as soybeans rolls down from the head, sometimes even fainting in pain. Even so, he didn't stop studying. ? Energy is accumulating, knowledge is gathering, thinking is flowing, and inspiration is shining in the collision of knowledge. If it accumulates, it will explode. The painful thinking process is the birth process of the son of thought. ? However, just when he was mature, his condition deteriorated. 1September, 989, the hospital decided to operate. At this time, he really felt that his life was running out, and the deadline was not far away. ? You can't just leave this world! You can't just give up your career! A strong desire to survive is fighting against the unfortunate fate with tenacious willpower. My parents and sister died shortly after the operation. I can't make the same mistake again! He resolutely decided not to have surgery and spent the rest of his time writing, even if he could leave a few scraps. He wrote this book as a suicide note. ? 1989 discharged home on the eve of national day. ? The night before New Year's Day (1990), Sun called his wife Wu Wenshang to his side and told her that his time seemed to be running out, and the rest should be spent on writing. He asked her to prepare a few things: a pair of knickerbockers to wear when writing, so that she can do qigong cross-legged immediately when she is unwell; 10 box of cool oil and 2 Jin of dried peppers, which are used to refresh yourself when you are tired; A few candles, in case of power failure, will not affect writing; A small alarm clock can wake him up; You can get some ear needles when you are sleepy. ? Listening to her husband's explanation, Wu Wenshang held back her tears. She and Sun are classmates. She knows her husband too well. Once he has made a decision, he will spare no effort to stick to it. ? Sun's mood is actually worse than that of Wu Wenshang. I'm dying, and my two children are still young, so my wife has to bear the burden of life alone. But what worries him most is that in case he can't finish his writing task in time, who can help him finish this unfinished business? His eyes suddenly focused on his wife: "Literally, I am dead. Will you finish it next? " ? Wu Wenshang couldn't bear it any longer. He plunged into her husband's arms and burst into tears. She knows that she may not be able to help her husband in writing, but she can take care of him with all her strength. She secretly decided to prolong his life as long as possible. ? 1990 1 on the morning of March 3, Sun spread out the manuscript paper and wrote the first line of the book Expressionism: "Since Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit and established the' cosmic village' of mankind in the vast world, the relationship between man and nature and between man and society has existed at the same time ..."? No, the pain in the liver is unbearable, so I have to hold the liver in one hand and continue to write: "The Sphinx mystery of the relationship between existence and essence, as the cornerstone of the cosmic village, is buried in fertile soil"? Almost every time he writes, he rubs cool oil to refresh himself. If it's not exciting enough, he will chew the Chili until his head sweats. ? Wu Wenshang not only cares about him in all aspects of life, but also gives him spiritual support. Whenever he is tired of writing, she will sing to him, sing Yue Opera and play the harmonica. ? Sun's writing is irregular and totally depends on his physical condition. Sometimes when he feels comfortable in the middle of the night, he gets up and writes at once. Once, Wu Wen woke up in the middle of the night and saw the desk lamp on, but no one was there. He went to look for it at once and found that he had fainted in the toilet. Another time Wu Wen went on a business trip, Sun fainted in the toilet alone, his face covered with blood.
15-year-old son Haifeng was at a loss when he found out. The feeling be nasty under, he directly called the vice governor Li Debao who lives nearby. Vice Governor Li immediately rushed over and took him to the hospital. He didn't wake up until the next day. ? Sun's writing has reached the point of complete selflessness. One day, Wu Wenshang called him at work, but no one answered at home, which scared her to run home. Who knows that he was so engrossed in writing that he didn't even hear the phone ring. A man even put aside death, his spirit was greatly sublimated, and a miracle happened: mature thinking enabled him to write without drafting, and the fountain of knowledge gushed out along his pen. ? On the morning of July 23rd, Sun wrote the last line on the manuscript paper. Thinking is like a chicken pecking through an eggshell. The first monograph on grey science and 240,000 words of expressionism were finally completed. ? This early morning, when Wu got up, the manuscript had been neatly placed on the desk, and Sun Zheng was sweetly asleep. He hasn't slept so soundly for a long time. Looking at a thick stack of manuscripts and her husband's thin face, tears flooded Wu Wen's eyes again ...? Expressionism raised the concept of Professor Deng Julong's grey system to the philosophical category. He derived three principles of cosmology isomorphism, cosmology homology and cosmology isomorphism by using the grey mathematical formula in the grey system theory: based on the analysis of grey correlation degree, he derived a series of materialist dialectics, expressive dialectics and existential dialectics, and developed an advanced form of logical thinking-dialectical thinking. ? In the following nine months, Sun completed two monographs, Grey Value and Investigation. Since then, grey science has been born as a new science, a new theory and a brand-new way of thinking. ? In system theory and cybernetics, according to international practice, the degree of information is expressed by color. Information is clear (known) in white, unclear (unknown) in black, and some clear and some unclear in gray. Sun's grey theory is a brand-new system theory, which takes the grey system with incomplete information as the research object, describes the system with incomplete information in a specific way, and makes prediction, decision and control. It takes Marxist philosophy as the core, the essence of China traditional culture as the nutrition, the grey mathematical formula as the weapon, and the realistic human life as the analysis object, so as to fully and accurately understand the law of things' development. ? A masterpiece completed by the emperor on his deathbed? An intellectual over sixty walked into Sun's home. His name is Leng Xihong, a senior editor of Shandong People's Publishing House, and a "Bole" selected as one of the "Top 100 Editors in China". After reading expressionism overnight, Bole immediately saw the incisive connotation of this monograph and decided to publish it. ? 199 1 April, Sun's first monograph on grey science came out. It is "a cultural atomic bomb" (in Deng Julong's words), which has exerted great influence on China and even the academic circles in the world. ? Then, his "Grey Value Theory" and "Investigation Theory" were published soon. Deng Julong called his achievement "a brand-new milestone" in the study of grey system. ? At this time, Sun began to study human behavior from the first stage to the way of human thinking. From 65438 to 0993, his research made a qualitative leap. He found that: looking at thousands of laws, principles and more than 4,000 disciplines discovered and invented by people at home and abroad, there are countless viewpoints, but the mode of thinking can never get rid of modernism and postmodernism. The modernist mode of thinking represented by Newton's classical physics pursues certainty, either one or the other. However, with the discovery of radioactive elements, the uncertainty of nuclear decay challenges this white way of thinking. The mistake of all modernism is that intervention applies to everything; The mistake of all post-modernism is to regard non-intervention as applicable to everything. Grey science theory fundamentally reveals the limitations of classical science with modernist thinking mode as the core and modern science with postmodern thinking mode as the reference. ? 1993, wonderful changes have taken place in Sun's body. The life antibody in his body is getting stronger and stronger, the pain in his liver is relieved, and his spirit is better. It was later found that the cancer cells in his body had completely disappeared. The doctor who treated him can't explain this. The headmaster of Shijiazhuang Qigong School thinks that Sun concentrates all his energy on writing, and the process of writing is actually the process of practicing Qigong, which completely plays the role of Qigong. If this reason can be established, it was words that saved him, and it was gray science that saved him. ? Since then, his works have become more and more unbearable. Choice, Reform, New Thinking of Grey Science, Performance Economics and Comprehensive Prevention of Grey Science were born one after another on his deathbed. His "Stock Grey Prediction" introduced the grey prediction theory into the stock market, which brought good news to investors. His "Grey Agronomy" and "Grey Comprehensive Control" applied the grey theory to the field of comprehensive agricultural control, and established a pollution-free rice demonstration site in Zhejiang for the first time, which achieved remarkable economic and social benefits. In particular, his idea of new agricultural revolution has won the appreciation of FAO experts, who believe that grey agronomy and grey comprehensive control science have pointed out the direction for solving the world agricultural outlet. ? Life is like running water, and the years are like running water. In a blink of an eye, 10 years passed.
10 years,143.6 million words of imperial ashes monograph stood on his sickbed, making his gloomy life journey reflect brilliant brilliance. ? 10 In 1996, a jury composed of many experts from China10 reviewed Sun's academic achievements. Inquired by the Science Novelty Retrieval Center, his expressionism, grey value science, grey comprehensive prevention and control science, performance economics and grey agronomy are emerging disciplines, and there are no literature reports at home and abroad. Experts agree that these monographs on grey science are the first in the world and his academic achievements have reached the international leading level. The birth of grey thinking mode is a revolution of human thinking mode. Qian Xuesen called grey science "a new discipline" and "a promising theory". ? 1In August, 998, Sun's new book The Third Science was published by Shandong People's Publishing House. This theoretical wonder broke through the original cybernetic background framework of grey theory and put it into the background of humanities to study and develop. On the basis of classical science (the first science) and modern science (the second science), he put forward the theory of "the third science" for the first time, which once again caused great shock in relevant academic circles. ? 10 years is only a moment in human history, but for Sun, it is an infinite extension of life. 10 years, the symphony of life he played on his deathbed was magnificent, magnificent, and the blood of China men's perseverance, hard work and courage flowed through his veins. ?
