It is a way of thinking that associates things according to their proximity in space or time, and then produces some new ideas. For example, when Su Dongpo was a local official in Hangzhou, many places in the West Lake had been silted up and became the so-called "fertile land" at that time.
Su Dongpo visited the West Lake many times and repeatedly considered how to dredge it to reproduce the beauty of the West Lake. One day, he thought, it would be great if the silt dug out of the lake was piled up into a long dike running through the north and south, which not only facilitated the tourists coming and going, but also increased the scenic spots and beautiful scenery of the West Lake. Su Gong's clever plan can kill several birds with one stone.
2. Similar associations.
It is to think of other similar things or phenomena from one thing or phenomenon, and then produce some new ideas. Such as dung beetles and cultivators. There is a man named Yao in Sichuan. He was surprised to find that dung beetles can roll a mass of soil dozens of times heavier than themselves, but they can't pull much lighter soil.
He has been driving a tractor for several years, and he thought: Can you learn from dung beetles's method of rolling clods, and put the tractor plow in front of the power of the farming body and the tractor power plow in the back? After experiments, he designed a micro-tiller with single track except the working parts of the front plow, which used driving force instead of traction and broke through the traditional structure.
3. Contrast and association.
The association of one thing with another because of comparison. For example, thinking of running water from the mountains, thinking of light from darkness, and thinking of sweetness from bitterness are all associations generated by comparison. Comparing the application of association in learning and memory can improve learning efficiency, strengthen memory and promote memory.
For example, learning a pair of antonyms at the same time in Chinese teaching, comparing addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in arithmetic teaching, and comparing the properties of chemical elements are all applications of contrastive association. Through comparison and association, we can deepen our understanding of the nature and characteristics of things. For example, from desert to forest, from light to darkness and so on.
