This sentence comes from Zhu's "Reading has Three" in the Song Dynasty.
There are three readings.
Original text:
"I have tasted three or three readings, namely, heart, eyes and mouth. The heart is not here, the eyes don't look closely, the heart is not single-minded, it can only read, never remember, and it won't last long. Of the three, the heart is the most urgent. Now the heart is here, but the eyes are not there? "

Translation:
I once said: "There are three things in reading, namely, heart, eyes and mouth." If the mind is not reading, then the eyes will not look carefully. Because of lack of concentration, I can only look casually and never remember. Even if you remember it, it won't last long. Of the three, the heart is the most important. Since the mind has been concentrated, how can the application of eye and mouth not reach the designated position? "
Zhu was a master of Neo-Confucianism and a famous educator in the Southern Song Dynasty. He spent most of his life studying and teaching, and put forward many incisive opinions. Shortly after his death, his disciples summarized his reading experience into six chapters, which are called "Zhu Reading Method", which still has enlightenment and reference significance for modern people.
Zhu's reading method: step by step, be familiar with reading, swim with an open mind, observe carefully, study hard, be respectful and determined.
