As an inheritor of the traditional Buzan mind map, I didn’t understand these forms of diagrams at first. Later, I asked Teacher Yuan Wenkui and read many books, and then I understood that I learned this Thinkingmaps. What's the difference in Mindmaps for so long.

Obviously, these two tools are now very popular visualization tools. Translated into Chinese, it is called mind mapping. The purpose is similar, both to improve memory, association, logic, learning and expression.

And they all have fixed patterns. Mindmaps are divergent network connections, while thinkingmaps use eight specific forms to express corresponding logical concepts.

There are also differences.

1. Difficulty. Mindmaps can express more complex logical relationships than thinkingmaps and are integrated. For complex relationships, thinkingmaps obviously cannot express them.

2. Usage scenarios: Because Thinkingmaps is very simple, easy to learn and master, it is very suitable for children from kindergarten to primary school to build basic logic models. Children can easily understand these eight structures. This thinking visualization tool proposed by Dr. David Hyerle was originally created to help students understand it better and reduce the difficulty of mastering it. The starting point of Buzan, the founder of Mindmaps, is to improve memory and use natural forms to naturally adapt to the modeling of knowledge, such as building a building. Use this tool to design and draw the drawings of your own brain library, and reduce the cost. Difficulty allows people to really build up.

3. The forms are different. One is like a spider web and the other is like a brick, expressing a single logic.

My personal suggestion is that if you are in the fourth grade of primary school or below and have difficulty understanding the above, you can use Thinkingmaps as an introduction point. Simple forms and simple logical relationships are better accepted by children. .

Then enter the complex mind map study, find a way to combine various logical relationships, and unified them into one Mindmap, Jiang can confidently and boldly build your own knowledge system~
