Abstract: The latest publication of a book such as “Big Data: A Revolution That Will Transform How We Live, Work, and Think” has captured the public attention. With the big data changing the way people think and behave, how should the development of statistics, a discipline that aims at data, take its course? Based on its understanding of the big data, this paper puts forward three dimensions in which the mind on statistics need to be changed: the interpretation of data, the idea of data collection and the view of data analysis, where the process of statistical analysis, the mode of empirical analysis and the logic of inferential analysis ,and also the evaluation standards of statistical analysis should be adjusted. According to those changes, this paper suggests that the big data be actively dealt with from eight perspectives, in order to keep the science of statistics to abreast of the times.
