*一个万用的例子：关于J.S. Bach，G.F. Handel，和 F. Mendelssohn
Compared with his peer, Handel, J. S. Bach was unconcerned in his age,
his austere works did not seem so popular as the luxuriant works of
Handel, since the latter one was supported by and tried to cater to
the preference of George Louis, the King of Britain in the early 18
century, and other patricians in the Europe. As a result, Bach's works
and the valuable creation of counterpoint kept unknown until
Mendelssohn discovered them after almost a century.
F. Mendelssohn, a celebrated German musician, played the role of a
critic as he recommended and conducted the performance of lots works
of J. S. Bach, whose value had not been realized by the public before,
such recommendation and performance represented the great and lasting
charm of baroque music.

*海顿及其赞助者埃斯特哈齐亲王：J. Haydn and his patron, Infante Esterhazy, who
permitted Haydn to attempt other forms of music while most of the
nobles in European countries were infatuated with opera in the 18th
century, and in the supporting of his tolerant patron, Haydn achieved
his most significant feat, that is, the creative forms of sonata and
symphony.（可以用于政府资助艺术）
*文艺复兴时期威尼斯和佛罗伦萨的绘画风格的区别：differences of paitings between Florence and
Venice in the age of Renaissance, in Florence, the city which was
deeply influenced by the traditional Roman Catholicism and other
mediaeval cultures, contents of paintings were mainly concerned with
stories in the Bibel, by contrast, contents of paintings in Venice,
the trading center of the western European world, were primarily
concerned with mundane life, since it lied far from the center of
Catholicism and most its residents were traders who were more
interested in enjoyment of life rather than sanctity of the God.（可以用于艺术
体现思想和动力）
学术类：
*人们容易有的错觉，认为河水的流速分布是均匀的，实际上离河床越近的水流得越慢：a phenomenon of flowing river,
without knowledge of hydromechanics, most of us will think that the
water which is nearer to the riverbed flows as fast as the water which
is farther from the riverbed, but after studying some elementary
disciplines of hydromechanics, we will realize that the velocity of
water declines as the distance between the water and the riverbed
declines, and therefore find that the water nearer to the riverbed
actually flows slower.（可以用于学术上的定理改变对世界的看法）
*傅里叶，热传导方程和傅里叶级数：Fourier, a French Mathematician, researched on the
heat conduction equation in the early 19th century, and in his
research he created the theory of Fourier Series, which is universally
used not only in the solution of most linear partial differential
equations, but also in the field of physics, control technology,
communication technology and so forth. （可以用于学科之间的影响）
*普朗克，热辐射公式和量子力学：the research of quantum mechanics was initiated by
Planck, when he tried to explain his fomula according to the result of
the thermal radiation experiment, which cannot explained perfectly by
the existent one of either Wien or Rayleigh and Jeans. （可用于学科的影响与独立发展）
*花花公子德布罗意，老讲师薛定谔，物质波和薛定谔方程：In the early period of quantum age, many
old physicists, even M. Planck, who create the quantum hypothesis at
first, did not believe in the wave-particle dualism of photon or other
particles, because they are too infatuated by classical physics
theories to accept new hypothesis, but De Broglie, a young French
physicist, who actually had poor classical physical and mathematical
knowledge, hypothesize that all particles possess the characteristic
of wave-particle dualism, and such hypothesis enlightened Schrodinger,
an Austrian physicist, to deduce an equation, which well describes
motions of particles, and had a significant meaning in the development
of quantum mechanics. （可用于新手与专家）
