Opening the book is beneficial. Life is short, and the sea of books is endless. How to solve the problem? Only reading. Reading can give you profound and rich life experience. Reading can increase the time and space of life and make a lifetime into several lifetimes. With the limited cost of life, you can get an infinite life course. Having said that, the sea of books is boundless, so we should choose good books and open good volumes.
It is really beneficial to open a good volume:
In the early Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhao Kuangyin of Song Taizong ordered Li Xiang, a civil servant, and others to compile a large-scale classified encyclopedia-Taiping General Category.
This book extracts the important contents of more than 1,6 kinds of ancient books, which are classified into 55 books, and the whole book has 1, volumes. It is a valuable reference book.
This book was programmed during the period of Xingguo in Song Taiping, so it was named Taiping General Category. For such a masterpiece, Song Taizong stipulated that he should read two or three volumes every day. After reading it all in one year, it was renamed Taiping Yu Lan.
When Song Taizong made up his mind to spend energy reading this masterpiece, some people thought it was too hard for the emperor to deal with so many state affairs and read so many great books every day, so they advised him to read less, and he didn't have to read it every day to avoid overwork.
However, Song Taizong replied:
"I like reading very much. I often get pleasure from books. Reading more books is always beneficial, and I don't feel tired."
So, he still insists on reading three volumes every day, and sometimes he has to make up for it because of the busy state affairs, and often says to the people around him:
"As long as you open the books, it will always be beneficial."
because Song Taizong reads three volumes of Taiping Yu Lan every day, he is very knowledgeable and very handy in handling state affairs. At that time, the ministers saw that the emperor was so diligent in studying, and they also studied hard. So at that time, the atmosphere of reading was very prosperous. Even Zhao Pu, the prime minister who didn't study, read the Analects tirelessly, and there was a saying that "half of the Analects of Confucius ruled the world".
from this, we can see how much reading can help you do!
Gorky, a great proletarian writer in the former Soviet Union, lived a wandering life in his early years. After more than ten hours of hard work every day, regardless of the boss's whipping and scolding, he finds time to study secretly. When he was an apprentice in a shop, he hid in the storage room to study after work. Without candle lighting, he collected the candles used up by his boss and read them at night. When he worked as a worker in a bakery, he read on the noodle rack, while eating noodles and reading. He read classic literature and progressive newspapers and periodicals from many countries, from which he gained valuable nutrition, enriched his mind and enriched his spiritual life, so that he could finally write Haiyan, Mother and other masterpieces handed down from generation to generation.
Only by studying hard, reading well and constantly absorbing the essence of books can we improve our temperament. Therefore, there is a saying that we are full of poetry and books.
The Russian writer Turgenev once said, "Don't read the books you have at your fingertips, but choose them strictly and cultivate your own interest and thinking."
yes, in the vast sea of books, there are good books and bad books, some are suitable for you to read, and some are not suitable for you to read. If you don't choose them, you will lose more than you gain.
remember, opening a good paper is equal to getting benefits!
