The ancients had the following methods of reading:
There are many ways to read, and the one that suits you is the best. Today let us take a look at how ancient celebrities read, and Learn some good reading methods from it.
Dong Yu: "Sanyu" reading method.
Dong Yu, a famous scholar in the Han Dynasty, advocated using the "three excess" time to study. What about the "three excess"? He said: "Winter is the remainder of the year, night is the remainder of the day, and rain is the remainder of the sunshine." This means that in winter, there is no farm work. This is a spare time of the year; at night, it is dark and you cannot go out for activities. This is the free time in the day; on rainy days, when you cannot work in the fields, this is also the free time that can be used.
Seizing these three kinds of free time to read will definitely yield results. Of course, the Han Dynasty where Dong Yu lived was very different from the living environment and rhythm of our modern society, but his spirit of seizing every spare time to study is still applicable to us today.
Su Shi: Reading method of "being attacked on all sides".
The Northern Song Dynasty writer Su Shi's "enemies on all sides" reading method is a very famous reading method. The "eight sides" here refer to all aspects of the book. The research objects are divided into eight directions: east, south, west, north, southeast, northeast, southwest and northwest, and then defeated each one.
Ouyang Xiu: "Count the words and recite them every day" reading method.
Ouyang Xiu, a literary giant in the Northern Song Dynasty, developed the reading method of "counting words and chanting every day" based on his own reading experience. He once selected ten books, including "The Classic of Filial Piety", "The Analects of Confucius" and "The Book of Songs", with about 50,000 words, and then stipulated that he should read 300 words every day, and it took him three and a half years to read them all. If you recite 150 words every day, it will take only seven years to memorize it.
He said: "Although there are many books, it can be accumulated over time, so why not worry about it?" Indeed, over time, he memorized every book by heart. This method of counting words quantitatively every day, keeping a steady stream of water, and gathering things together is an effective method of reading.
Chen Shan: "Enter the book and publish the book" reading method.
Chen Shan, a native of the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote a book called "New Stories on Men Lice". He wrote in the book: "When reading, you need to know how to enter and exit. You should enter by the same reason at the beginning, and exit by the same reason at the end. Seeing kindness, this is the entry and exit. Calligraphy: Use it thoroughly, this is calligraphy. If you can't get the book, you don't know the intention of the ancients; if you can't get the book, you will die under the words." This paragraph. What this means is that when reading, you need to know what is coming in and what is coming out.
Entry means to read into the book, understand it thoroughly, and grasp the essence of the content in the book; exit means to jump out of the book and be able to flexibly use book knowledge to solve practical problems. When you start studying, you ask for in, and the ultimate goal of studying is to ask for out.
The "reading into books and out of books" reading method summarized by Chen Shan based on his own reading experience actually tells people to read while living, not dead. I need to study hard, digest and absorb the nutrients in the book, and use the knowledge in the book for my own use.
