Probably it can.
As the saying goes: read a thousand books and travel a thousand miles. Reading a book is to gain insight and open one's eyes, then traveling a thousand miles (traveling) is even more so.
The book has its own golden house, the book has its own face like jade. Put in the now developed network world, but also a minute to know the world's strange and unusual things.
Without going out to know the world of things, go out and travel, of course, more can make a person's eyes wide open. Because reading a thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles!
For example, we are in the world of the network is easy to know the difference between the north and south of the Lantern Festival dumplings, sweet tofu brain salty tofu brain, the network is talking about, and we are surprised that there is another way to eat, if we can really travel in the local circle, experience a handful of local customs, not more understanding of the difference between the connotation of it to know the reason why it knows it!
The world is a big place, and we don't know what we don't know, or we've just heard rumors that there are too many stories. Practice makes perfect, if you can physically go to the field to visit a time, I think than the book to see more eye-opening. If you can't see it on the ground, reading a book is certainly a good way to open your eyes.
Suddenly I remembered a story about Helen Keller that I learned when I was a child. Helen Keller was blind and her teacher wrote the word "'water" in the palm of her hand, but she always mixed up the words "cup" and "water". Ms. Sullivan didn't give up on Helen. She took Helen Keller to the well house and asked her to put her little hand under the hose and let the cool drops of water drip onto Helen Keller's hand. Then, Ms. Sullivan wrote 'water' in the palm of Helen Keller's hand. The word 'water' was written several times, and from then on, Helen Keller memorized it, and never got confused again. Helen later recalled, "Somehow the secret of language was suddenly revealed, and I finally knew that water was the liquid that ran through my hand."
This short story doesn't answer the question, but that's what I was trying to say. Thanks for reading!
