From the original text of Zhu's Reading Three Times in the Song Dynasty, "I have tasted reading three times, which means my heart, eyes and mouth." The heart is not here, and the eyes don't look closely; Not single-minded, only read but not remember, remember for a long time. Of the three, the heart is the most urgent. Now the heart is here, but the eyes are not there? "
Zhu, a Neo-Confucianist in Southern Song Dynasty, was a famous educator. 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. He thinks that some people are not effective in reading because they don't work hard enough on the words "proficiency" and "precision". He also criticized the tendency to read too much, and repeatedly said, "Don't read too much, be good at reading. If you look at one board and half a board today, then focus on the first half. " Zhu advocated that reading is poor and suitable for the body. Being in it is to get information and practice it. From the perspective of reading methods, Zhu stressed that reading must be linked with oneself and practice, and it is desirable to turn the learned theory into action.
