At the beginning of Song Dynasty, Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi ordered official Li and others to compile a large-scale classified encyclopedia-Taiping General Category. This book is a valuable reference book, which collects and extracts the important contents of more than 600 kinds of ancient books, and classifies them into 55 books with the volume of 1000.
This book was compiled during the period of Xingguo in Song Taiping, so it was named Taiping General Category. For such a masterpiece, Song Taizong stipulated that at least two or three volumes should be read every day, and it should be finished within one year, so it was renamed Taiping Yu Lan.
When Song Taizong made up his mind to spend energy reading this masterpiece, some people thought that it was too hard for the emperor to deal with so many state affairs and read such a big book every day, so he was advised to read less and not read 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. Besides, I don't feel tired. "
Therefore, he still insists on reading three volumes every day, and sometimes he has to take time to make up for it because of national affairs. He often says to people around him, "As long as you open the book, it will always be fine." Song Taizong is very learned, because he reads three volumes of Taiping Yu Lan every day, and he is also very handy in handling state affairs.
At that time, ministers saw that the emperor was so diligent in reading, and they also worked hard to read, so the atmosphere of reading at that time was very prosperous. Prime Minister Pu often does not study, but tirelessly reads The Analects, which is called "Half Analects of Confucius governs the world". Later, "opening a book is beneficial" became an idiom, describing that it is always beneficial to open a book to read.
