Zheng Yimei's reading method
Zheng Yimei believes that there are two main methods of reading, namely the "inside-in" style and the "outside-in" style. He himself belongs to the latter category. He said: "The ancients valued basic skills, so parents and teachers urged each other's students to read classics and recite famous poems through the ages, so as to be eloquent and beautiful. During this period, reading so-called 'idle books' was not allowed to avoid distracting attention. Only when you are proficient in literature and science can you dabble in historical novels and gain interest. This kind of reading belongs to the "internal and external" reading method, which is "from the shallower to the deeper, starting with the more interesting." Start with historical novels and prose with a strong flavor of the times, and then read Qing Dynasty and late Ming Dynasty sketches. Go back to Yuan opera, Song poetry, Tang poetry, Chinese articles, and "Zuo Zhuan", "Li Sao", "Book of Songs" and "Shang Shu" You have to study it carefully."
After comparing the two, Zheng Yimei commented: "The former is better than the latter because of its deep foundation and solid foundation; as for the ease of understanding and the speed of progress. The latter is better than the former. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult to draw a conclusion." Zheng Yimei said when talking about her reading methods: I first studied in a private school. I am not interested in reading books such as "Xun Meng" and "Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean".
Later, when I was enjoying the cool weather, I heard "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and was fascinated. I switched from listening to the lecture to reading it by myself. The flavor is endless.” Eventually, he gradually became a master, and as luck would have it, he became a well-known writer of a generation.
