-Ji Xianlin's classic prose collection
Ji Xianlin said in his prose that reading is the most beautiful thing in the world.
Why reading is a good thing? Ji Lao said:
"Maybe some people think this question is naive and abrupt. This is the same as the question:' Why do people eat', because no one opposes eating, and no one says that reading is not a good thing. However, I think everything should be asked a' why', and everything happens for a reason. You should not take it for granted. "
The benefits of reading are unforgettable:
First of all, reading can increase our knowledge and we can know what's going on in the world without going out;
To be noble, reading can make us cultivated;
To put it mildly, reading can help us find a good job and gain a place in a highly competitive society.
The greatest advantage of reading is that you can have your own skills and rely on it to survive and serve the society. ...
Books are the ladder of human progress. Reading is something that everyone has done. Many people love books as treasures, because a good book can affect a person's life.
"For thousands of years, there are no two ways to preserve wisdom. One is physical objects, such as the Great Wall, the other is books, and the latter is the main one. Before the invention of writing, wisdom was preserved by memory; Books were used after the invention of writing. When you transfer what you remember from your mind to paper, you form a book, which is a treasure house for storing the wisdom handed down from generation to generation by human beings. The younger generation must learn to inherit and carry forward the wisdom of their predecessors. The reason why mankind can make progress and move forward forever depends on the ability to read and write. I often think that human development is like a relay race, and the first generation runs the first leg; The second generation takes the baton, runs the second baton, even the third baton and the fourth baton, and runs endlessly, so that the inheritance of wisdom will be endless. This inheritance mainly depends on books, which is a major event related to the inheritance of human wisdom. So, reading is not the best thing in the world. What is it? " This is Ji Xianlin's understanding of reading.
As we all know, Mr. Ji Xianlin was admitted to Tsinghua in his early years and studied abroad for more than ten years. He learns everything and is proficient in more than ten languages. After returning to China, he devoted himself to research, making himself a master in the field of Chinese studies and being respected as a master.
Although we live in noisy commercial times, we should not give up all kinds of reading opportunities, but we should also regard reading as the best thing in the world. According to the recent social survey data, the number of books read per capita in China is still very low compared with foreign countries. This low level needs to be improved in the future.
Ji Lao said that there was a saying in China that "reading is useless". In ancient times, intellectuals who read books were generally called "scholars" and often became the object of ridicule. For example, "A Scholar Rebellion, Three Years of Failure" is a mockery of the incompetence of the play. This is not unreasonable. In ancient times-please note that Ji Lao said "ancient times", but today it is completely different-almost all the people who succeeded in rebelling in ancient times were illiterate. He said that the two emperors in the history of China, the founding "British Lord", Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang, all belong to this category.
China has a long history of traditional culture, not such people, but "scholars" handed down.
It is appropriate to describe Ji Lao's scholarship with "intensive reading and wisdom"
Meditation can suppress impatience, and reading by stealth is one way.
As for the way of governing the country, in a broad sense, it refers to managing state affairs. For scholars like Ji Lao, it is practical knowledge. It is enough for ordinary people to read more books, be sensible, have foresight and think things through.
If you can study quietly and do academic work like Lao Ji Man Xianlin, you can live a quiet life, which is like meditating on the piano. His knowledge is like a melody flowing at the fingertips. Even without Yu Boya's piano skills, Zhong Ziqi was deeply moved, and his knowledge would flow like a stream.
Things in the world are always strange. Sometimes people get confused.
Musician Yu Boya wrote a song "Mountain Flowing Water", but no one around him could understand it, just like he was playing the piano on a high mountain, tall and lonely. In a remote place, there happened to be a woodcutter named Zhong Ziqi, but he knew his heart sound.
Yu Boya dissolved his feelings in music, and expressed his feeling of standing tall between heaven and earth like a mountain with the sound of the piano, as well as his wisdom surging in the universe like the sea, and his piano skills reached perfection.
And Zhong Ziqi's feelings, just with his * * *.
No matter how Boya plays, he can accurately express Boya's ideas in the second stage. Boya was ecstatic for his bosom friend and said, "We know each other all over the world. How many bosom friends can there be! "
After the death of chef hippo, Boya was heartbroken and felt that no one in the world could really understand him. "If you break the piano and string, there will be no drums for life."
The ancients said, "A scholar dies for a confidant." Boya's unique string shows the realm of true confidant, which is its charm that has been remembered by future generations for thousands of years.
Boya plays the piano, which can be described as concentration; Listening to songs in the second period can be described as meditation; Otherwise, it is difficult for them to become bosom friends. You can see the charm of concentration.
Concentrate on reading is also a process of acquiring knowledge. After reading it, you will realize some essence hidden between the lines, which will make people understand some truth and even be used to arm themselves and change themselves.
Since there were words in the world, there has been reading. Due to the constant revolution of the written media, the way of reading is also changing. But no matter what form, reading will bring happiness to people.
"Reading quietly" is just the opposite of the so-called "shallow reading". Shallow readers just want to make an excuse for themselves. They feel that they are too busy to study, but they just skim the water, asking that the object of study should not be too profound and the content of study should not be too complicated. It is best to bring out three messages in one sentence. How is that possible? Some people become shallow, which is directly related to the shallowness of reading materials. People are always afraid that they have no culture, so they have to arm themselves with cultural fast food. Culture is accumulated and cannot be formed quickly. However, some people are keen on crash, and there is no doubt that there will be no masters of Chinese studies. Especially in the era of information explosion, people can learn more about the truth by reading quietly.
When you calm down, you will suddenly find that the contents of hundreds of webpages you open every day, dozens of channels you control from left to right, and newspapers and magazines scattered on the bedside table are mostly repetitive, but they are all kinds of renovations, which are not worth an original sentence.
However, there are still people who are willing to wander in these garbage oceans. Although there is no gain or absorption, everyone still enjoys it and feels very cool. This kind of reading can only be regarded as killing time, or to put it mildly, it is cultural leisure.
Superficiality gives us the illusion that we know everything, but in fact we don't know anything.
Colorful information is so charming, just like a gust of wind or a landscape, so it floats around in front of your eyes, which makes you have to show some concentration when you are meditating or reading.
Being busy is not a reason, just an excuse. I often hear this voice in my ear. I haven't read for a long time. Too busy, 24 hours a day, really not enough.
But Mr. Lu Xun said: Time is like water in a sponge. As soon as you squeeze it, there will be water coming out. How much you squeeze out depends on how hard you push.
◆ I hate books when I use them. Han Yu, a famous poet and philosopher in the Tang Dynasty, has a famous academic association: "There is a road in the mountains, but there is no limit to learning the sea." Han Yu's words are intended to tell people that there are no shortcuts and no boats to sail on the road of studying. If you want to learn more and more knowledge from the vast amount of books and knowledge, "diligence" and "concentration" are two essential and the best conditions.
Diligence means persistent hard work. The ancients said that learning is expensive and doubtful. In other words, in the process of learning, don't blindly absorb, but use your head, ask more why, learn to think and dare to ask questions. Only thinking can lead to development and only development can lead to innovation.
If diligence is compared to the wings of a bird, then diligence is the left wing and the right wing is "concentration". Calm down, play less with your heart, be less impetuous, use your intelligence in your hard study, let your wings vibrate and fly to the other side of your ideal.
However, although you have read a lot of books, you will often pat your forehead in practical application, which is often the result of not "concentrating".
At this time, "book mountain has a road to diligence" has become "hate less when using books"
At this time, I suddenly realized that "diligence" is quantity and "concentration" is qualitative truth.
If I had known, I would have suffered less from hitting my forehead.
◆ There is no limit to learning the sea, but it is difficult to make a boat. As the ancients said, "Shushan has a way to make progress, and learning from the sea is endless." It means that hard work is the key to learning. If people want to make continuous progress, they have to live and learn. I remember a philosopher said: There are two kinds of creatures that can climb the pyramids in the world: an eagle and a snail. Whether it is a gifted eagle or a snail with mediocre qualifications, it is inseparable from two words-diligently climbing the spire and overlooking Wan Li. A person's progress and success, environment, opportunities, knowledge of nature and other external factors are important, but more importantly, it depends on their own diligence and efforts. Without the spirit of diligence, no matter how talented the eagle is, it can only flutter its wings and look at the tower and sigh. With the spirit of diligence, even slow-moving snails can stand at the top of the tower and look at the lush Qian Shan and the clouds in Wan Li from a distance.
Campus is the mountain gate of Shushan, and society is the starting port of learning the sea. Life is like a boat, and knowledge is like a sail. How can we sail on the rough sea without strong sails?
