Different people have different reading methods.
Mao Dun, a famous writer, once summarized his "three times" reading method. He said that reading a famous book should be read at least three times, and it is best to read it quickly the first time, just like having a bird's eye view of Guilin City on the plane; The second time, read carefully and chew carefully, paying attention to the structure of each chapter and paragraph; The third time, read carefully, read paragraph by paragraph, understand and use. At this time, we should pay attention to its words and sentences. To sum up, these three times are: bird's eye view (getting the initial impression)-intensive reading (savoring the beauty of the work)-digestion (absorbing all kinds of essence).
Mao Dun's "three times" reading method is gradual and focused, and each reading has clear requirements. He doesn't just seek the plot, but after reading it, he first infects, then delves into it, and then seeks absorption. Reading in this way can turn the essence of the book into your own "flesh and blood".
Einstein's "One Two Three" Reading Method
Einstein, a famous physicist, is not only blasphemous, but also good at summing up the laws of reading. The reading method he summarized is very beneficial to young readers who like reading, so students may wish to learn from it.
First of all, we should often browse the preface and postscript of the book, and then read the table of contents carefully to have a general understanding of the structure, content, main points and system of the book, so as to have an overall impression of the book.
After reading the table of contents, skim the text first, and you don't need to read it word for word. We should focus on reading paragraphs with big or small titles, underlined words, dots, bold words or special marks, which are often the focus of each section. You can choose what you need to read carefully according to these special marks.
On the basis of skimming the whole book, Sanhe has a concrete impression of this book, so that he can go back and read the contents of the catalogue and the whole book carefully, and think and synthesize them to make them organized and systematic, so as to clarify their internal relations, achieve the purpose of deepening and improving, and learn more.
Hu Shi's "Four Arrivals" Reading Method
Hu Shi once bluntly said in Reading: "Reading has two elements: the first is precision, and the second is erudition."
Hu Shi agrees that traditional reading pays attention to "three things" (eyes, mouth and heart), but thinks that only "three things" is not enough, and there should be a fourth thing, namely "hand". The so-called "hands-on" means emphasizing more hands-on, which mainly includes punctuation, segmentation, consulting dictionaries and materials, and taking reading notes. In this regard, Hu Shi said that "hands-on" can not only help you broaden your horizons and enhance your memory, but also fully mobilize your imagination and creativity, so that the knowledge in books can come alive and eventually become your own thing.
When talking about the reading elements of "Bo", Hu Shi said: "Therefore, as long as we add reference materials, we can easily get hints when we blaspheme books; When you are in trouble, give an east hint and a west hint, and you will not stay to read the dead book. " Hu Shi himself is a well-read person, calling himself a "bookworm".
For most people, it is quite difficult to be both "sophisticated" and "knowledgeable". Even Hu Shi himself said that he was "rich" and lost in "essence". Hu Shi wrote in his diary on February 3, 19 15: "There are two sides to learning, one is extensive, the other is profound, and the two must complement each other. Every time a skilled worker misses a pass, every time a knowledge worker misses a shallow pass, he loses a pass. I am too shallow to be corrected by depth. "
