The paintings of impressionists often leave us a profound impression as follows: when taking a close look at them, we find those strokes, of which a piece of painting consists, only are numerous fine points of different colors. However, as we gradually stand back, we realize that, a certain change of colors forms and a sense of dynamics is also presented due to these inter-related fine points, which consequently turn into exquisite art works. Such a change of viewing angle brings us corresponding experience of various feelings as well as enjoyment of the beauty. This relation of the part and the whole shown in the static two-dimensional world tells us that the angle from which we view something determines what we can see, and also how we can understand it. This phenomenon, to a certain extent, inspires us that, to know the world cannot merely rest upon the knowledge of each particular thing or practical process. What is more important is to pay attention to the interrelation between things as well as processes in addition to the individual knowledge mentioned above. Only by doing so, we may have clear and exact mastery of the complexity of the material world and the social environment. Furthermore, this attitude can help us to obtain abilities to foresee the developing trend of any practical problem when we face it, and subsequently to make correct estimation and decisions.
