Answers to Chen Jinzhi's Reading Method in Classical Chinese
The most important thing in reading is to remember, and you can see progress every day. Chen Jin read only 12 words a day, and then there were no books he didn't read. Even if you read less, there will be a lot accumulated in one year. Who doesn't study nowadays? Reading more than 1 words every day, I was very happy at first, but I quickly finished reading and quickly forgot. I can't even remember 12 words in one year, let alone one day. When I was young, I also had the problem of being greedy. Now, when I look at my stomach, I know that Chen Jinzhi's method is right. Truth: Don't read too much, bite off more than one can chew, read intensively and remember that many a mickle makes a mickle. Don't ask for more quickly, but remember it in a down-to-earth manner. You can't swallow dates.
