When it comes to reading, we should ask: What are the benefits of books? Why should we study?
In ancient times there were private schools and academies, and now there are primary schools, middle schools and universities. Literary literacy, increasing knowledge, students are attending classes in school, and gentlemen teaching you to read is called teaching. Only when students graduate can it be said to take the first step in life.
"Everything is low-grade, only reading is high." Wang Zhu, a famous scholar in the Northern Song Dynasty, wrote a widely influential enlightenment reading "Poems of a Child Prodigy", which instills in people that all walks of life in the world are low-grade, but reading is the only way to make a living. Entering an official career is the right path.
Reading can make you understand, reading can improve your intelligence, reading can make you understand the world, and reading can make a difference. Zhao Heng, Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty, personally wrote the "Learning Chapter": "There are thousands of bells of millet in the book, there is a house of gold in the book, and there is a beauty like jade in the book." The reason why the Song Dynasty was culturally prosperous and had top talents emerged in large numbers is evident from the emperor's imperial writings.
"Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles." Dong Qichang, a great calligrapher of the Ming Dynasty, said this in his "Essays on Painting a Zen Room (Volume 2)", which can be called a Zen saying: Study hard so that you can understand others through your talents. Let what you have learned be reflected in your life, integrate calligraphy and theory into practice, and apply what you have learned.
Folk sayings are even more true: "Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles; traveling thousands of miles is not as good as reading countless people; reading countless people is not as good as a famous teacher showing the way, and a famous teacher showing the way is not as good as walking on your own Enlightenment."
"Read thousands of volumes, and write like a god." Du Fu, the poet sage of the Tang Dynasty, famously warned the world to read a lot of books, and to read intensively, carefully, and thoroughly over and over again. After understanding, you will be able to write and write with ease, as if with the help of a god.
Reading, if you are willing to work hard to read, and gain something from reading, you are considered a scholar.
Reading, reading for utilitarian purposes, for further studies, postgraduate entrance examinations, promotions, and professional title evaluations... Among all living beings, the books read by such readers are boring and less interesting, but they are needed to "make a living" Yeah, understandable.
"There is a road to the mountain of books, and diligence is the path, and there is no limit to the sea of ??learning, and hard work is the boat." How should one read, and to what extent is it considered true reading? I secretly think:
Only when you read a very thick book very thinly can you realize the wonder of reading;
If you read a very thin book very thinly, you will understand the wonder of reading. Only then do you know the joy of reading.
