Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms is well versed in reading, not only eager to learn, but also good at learning, which makes him "resourceful". Zhuge Liang's reading method is also beneficial to modern people. Zhuge Liang only "reads the outline" when reading.
Zhuge Liang lived in seclusion in Longzhong, Jingzhou, and studied with Yingzhou, Xu Shu and Meng as friends. Xu Shu and Meng studied the "excellent service".
Xu Shu, who once "recommended Zhuge to mount a horse", learned a lot. "Bow down and get up early, always clean up alone, make moves first and listen to the classics" in order to be "fair and comfortable". Zhuge Liang is different from other students in reading. He is "looking at the big picture alone." He didn't get into the pile of books by rote, but read widely, take its essence and grasp its essence.
Zhuge Liang did not forget to eat and sleep, but worked and slept normally. "Every morning and night, he is calm and often screams with his knees." He said to his friends, "You guys can be the secretariat and defend the county politically." The three men asked Zhuge Liang about his career, and Zhuge Liang "laughed but didn't answer".
Later, it was proved that those who learned "essence", such as Xu Shu and Meng, really only made secretariat and guarded counties, while Zhuge Liang, who learned the best from the rough, became a generation of sages.
2. Tao Yuanming's reading of "knowledge"
Tao Yuanming's "knowledge" reading method. In the Biography of Mr. Wuliu, he once wrote: "You are good at reading, not seeking more knowledge. Every time I know something, I will be so happy that I forget to eat. "
Tao Yuanming pays attention to grasping the key points, eliminating the complexity and simplifying, and thinking independently. In fact, what he pursues is reading and understanding, focusing on understanding the deep will in the book, rather than picking up individual words.
