孟子曾言“虽有智慧，不如乘势”。所谓“智慧”，指人的聪明才智，核心是分析、判断、推理能力；“乘势”则意指顺应事物存在、变化、发展的基本态势或趋势。客观事物的态势与趋势是客观的、居于首位；人的智慧则是主观的、居于其次。真正的智慧并非人脑中固化的内容，而是存在于主客体互动时的演化之物。行为主体需持续不断地达成主客观一致，审时度势、因势利导，建立起规律性认识和大局观，如此方能有所发现、有所创造、有所进步、有所成就。此乃主客体关系的辩证之理。
Even If One Is Intelligent, It Is Better to Follow the Trend of the Times
This idea originates from Mencius. "Being intelligent" refers to possessing wisdom, primarily shown through one's ability to analyze, judge and reason; "following the trend of the times" means aligning with the basic situation or trend of existence, change and development among things. The situation or trend of objective things is objective and primary; human wisdom is subjective and secondary. True wisdom isn't a fixed concept in the human mind but an evolving product within the interaction of subject and object. The subject of action must constantly and specifically achieve consistency between subjectivity and objectivity, assess the situation, make the most of circumstances, gain an understanding of laws, and cultivate a big-picture view, thereby enabling discoveries, creations, progress and achievements. This epitomizes the dialectics within the relationship between subject and object.
