May I ask what philosophical truth is embodied in three monks have no water to drink ?

Materialist dialectics holds that everything has two aspects, its whole and its parts. The whole and the part are strictly distinct, but they also influence each other, restrict each other, and are inseparable.

The three monks "form a whole, if the three monks can do a good job in the division of labor, perform their own duties, and cooperate tacitly, the three monks will have water to drink." If each part forms a whole with an orderly, reasonable, effective and optimized structure, the overall function will be greater than the sum of the local functions. The three monks in the comics do not cooperate with each other, and even pass the buck to each other, and the result is, of course, "no water to drink", and the overall function is less than the sum of the functions of each part.

1) The past is like smoke, time has passed, the three monks on the Hanshan Temple outside the city of Gusu had no water to eat, and once became a laughing stock of people. I don't know how it is today, and let's see the breakdown below.

When I first arrived at Hanshan Temple, the mountains and forests were lush and lush, and the visitors were weaving. And walking up the steps, not far away, you saw the little monks, the thin monks and the fat monks. Look, they're smiling and busy.

It turned out that the three monks had no one to carry water, and they were unwilling to suffer losses, and almost died of thirst, so they decided to seek advice from Homo sapiens. The wise man was speechless, only handed the three monks a booklet, and drifted away. The three monks studied hard, hugged their heads and cried, and since then they have changed their minds, not only carrying water for themselves to eat, but also selling water to the people in the surrounding villages.

What are the cheats? After I begged again and again, they only told me that the book was called "System Optimization Method". Under the guidance of this scientific theory, the three monks based on the overall situation, the division of labor is clear, cooperate with each other, soon the introduction of the pump, the mountain water pumped to the temple, and learn the technology, the processing of mineral water, the good sales near and far, not only convenient for the tourists, but also rebuilt the ancient temple.

This is really the three of them, and they should be impressed!

Before leaving, the three monks repeatedly told me: "Philosophy makes people wise, don't forget to master the system optimization method." "I took the teachings to heart and went down the mountain happily.

2) "Philosophical" Shaolin Temple monks became celebrities for a while because of the "draft" trivial things that happened to them. People elevate this matter to a very high ideological level to experience the philosophical principles in it, gain understanding from it, and use it to guide practice. The three monks were angry about this, because this incident reflected a problem with their personal qualities.

Personally, they think that when this happened, they were young and didn't know how to help each other. Now that they're older, nothing like that will happen again. But at this point, because of their actions back then, all the monks were saddled with a dishonorable reputation.

So the three of them decided to hold a joint press conference.

At the press conference, reporters from all major ** rushed to come. They didn't bring any new questions, they just wanted to hear what the monk had to say about it.

Monk A said: "We should look at the problem from the perspective of development. With the development of social practice and the passage of time, our quality has made great progress compared with before, please pay attention to this. ”

After the speech, the audience applauded!

The dialectical relationship between the whole and the parts.

If the parts can't work together well and handle the relationship well, the whole is less than the sum of the parts, that is, the three monks have no water to eat.

If the three monks have a clear division of labor, then they will not have to worry about running out of water to drink.

Three monksThe lack of water tells us the truth of unity and cooperation.

The story of the three monks tells us that if we are selfish and unwilling to pay for others, in the end others and ourselves will have nothing, if people are reconciled with others and help each other, then in the end their own and others' wishes will be obtained in each other's giving, as long as unity and cooperation have no hurdles that cannot be overcome, to be loyal to the collective, loyal to unity.

The story of "Three Monks Have No Water to Drink":

There is a small temple on the mountain, and there is a little monk in the temple. Every day, he carried water, chanted scriptures, knocked on wooden fish, added water to the water bottle on the table of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and did not let rats steal things at night, and lived a stable life since the three monks were there.

Soon, a great monk came. As soon as he arrived at the temple, he drank half a jar of water. The little monk asked him to carry water, but the big monk thought that it would be too much of a loss to carry water alone, so he asked the little monk to carry water with him.

The two of them were at ease. So you can finally have water to drink.

Unity is strength, and it is very dangerous that none of the three monks can exert the power of unity. This tells us a truth: one person's ability is limited, and the flame of many people collecting firewood is high.

Only when everyone unites can we exert greater strength and make greater contributions.

1. Meaning: When a monk is thirsty, he carries water to drink; When two monks are thirsty, they carry water to drink together, saving time and effort; Three monks

At that time, which monk didn't want to carry water for others to drink, and the two of them felt unfair together, so no one carried water, and they died of thirst.

2. Implication: To do one thing, if there is no system as a guarantee, the responsibility is not implemented, and there are many people who can't do it. It shows that the division of collective responsibilities is not clear, the competition mechanism is not perfect, the reward and punishment mechanism is not effective, and the members are not united, and the team spirit.

No resultant force. Because the three monks belong to the same mentality and the same ideological realm, they don't want to contribute, they want to rely on others, and they pass the buck to each other on the issue of getting water, and as a result, no one goes to get water, so that everyone has no water to drink. In fact, the three monks can also have water to drink, as long as they are slightly organized, a system of taking turns to take water, the responsibility is put on the person, and the violator is severely punished, so that there is water to drink.

The reason why the situation of "three monks without water to drink" happened was because of the lack of effective institutional arrangements to mobilize the enthusiasm of the monks to carry water. Each monk waited for others to fetch water, so that he could sit back and enjoy it, so the monks had no water to drink. In fact, every monk has the ability to carry water (which is considered a "resource" in economics), but due to the lack of effective institutional arrangements, the monks' ability to carry water (resources) is idle and wasted, and the resources cannot be fully utilized to realize their value (having water to drink).

In economics, the situation of "three monks without water to drink" is attributed to the lack of effective public choice. When there is only one monk, how much you pay to carry water (strength), you will get how much water you will get (drinkable water), and the cost and benefit are completely balanced, so there is no need for anyone to force the monk to carry water when he is thirsty. In the case of only two monks, we can also negotiate, the cost of negotiation is relatively small, if you go to carry water to drink, the cost (strength) and the benefit (drinkable water) of the two people can also be basically balanced, so the cooperation situation of carrying water and drinking together can not only be generated, but also can be adhered to and continued.

In the case of three monks, the cost of negotiation is relatively large, if you meet one who wants to rub water to drink, it will be difficult to drink water. If people are like-minded and want to drink water, then in the end, no one will have any water to drink. Therefore, economics believes that when there are many monks, it is necessary to ensure that everyone has water to drink through public choice.

The so-called public choice, to use a common saying, is the business of the people to do the work of the people. When the number of "people" is small and it is only a small group, everyone can negotiate a solution with each other, and then everyone can follow it. If someone does not comply, it is also convenient to punish them and bring them back to the right path.

However, when the number of "people" is too large and impossible for everyone to get together to discuss, or the cost of making everyone come together to discuss is too huge and not feasible at all, it is necessary to take the way of entrusting people to solve it. The crowd elects the ** person and gives the ** person a certain amount of power, and the ** person formulates the rules according to the principle of maximizing the benefits or welfare of the people, and then uses the power given by the people to force everyone to abide by it.

Specific to the issue of the monks drinking water, if the monks negotiate that today you carry water, tomorrow I will carry water, and the day after tomorrow he will carry water; Or stipulate that every day I carry water, you cook, and he chops wood; Or simply decide that everyone will pay someone else to carry water. In fact, any kind of public choice can effectively avoid the situation of running out of water to drink.
