Yu Jiaxi's Academic Spirit

Mr Yu Jiaxi devoted his life to teaching and writing. He is rigorous and knowledgeable. He is both a bibliographer and a historian, and he is best at textual research. There are many things worth learning from Mr. Yuji's academic spirit: one of his characteristics is that he reads widely, and has browsed the subsets of classics and history, which can be proved by the book Abstract Discrimination. There are many books in the Ministry with complicated contents. He is very interested in this aspect. He looked for information from medical books and questions from novels, such as articles about cold food, Yang's story and Song Jiang's 36-person test. All these are well documented, in line with reality, and there are many new conclusions. He has a strong memory, reads a lot, and can use the knowledge of bibliography. He is good at distinguishing good books from bad ones. He once named his research "reading what you have seen" because some people specialize in reading books that have never been seen in the world. Although some books that have never seen the world are precious, such books are rare. If you monopolize rare books and don't read ordinary books, this is rootless learning. In view of this situation, he named his study "what he saw after reading". But it's hard to read what you have read. If you know everything, you should not only read more books and remember them well, but also know how to read them. If you don't know how to read, or if you have read them, you will forget them. It's useless! Mr. Yu Ji's erudition is one of his successes.

Secondly, he works hard. He has been writing for decades, and he knows some books well, but he still reads them often. He quoted Dong Yu's words in the preface to the Summary of Syndrome Differentiation and Treatment, saying that "failure or failure will be repeated three times", which is also his own promise. Those who read widely often can't go deep; People with good memory often refuse to look up books. Mr. Yuji reads widely, but he can work hard. Watching him move books in the study every day, he enjoys it. He is always involved in book B because of book A, and he always enjoys and perseveres in checking a big book because of one sentence. He also has a good habit of returning the books he has read and checked to the shelf immediately. Because of this, his desk has never been messy and piled up, but when he enters his study, the books on a shelf are neat and neat, and they are all handwritten roots, which is also impossible for many people.

In addition, he writes meticulously, which is also a strict exercise for him. He only quoted historical materials when he found a reliable basis. When quoting a book, he must indicate the number of volumes and proofread the text. All the materials he quoted are always accurate. He has never written a cursive script in his life, whether it is a manuscript or a letter from a friend. I have seen his handwritten answers to various batches of school-based bibliographies, four or five colors of ink, full headers, and every word is a stroke and a picture. Although we don't necessarily advocate regular script writing today, his meticulous and conscientious spirit is still worth learning.
