Han Yu, a literary giant in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in a reading poem: "There are not many people who suffer from reading, and those who think of others are unknown. If you are sick to a certain extent, you will not learn, and you will not learn. " It is pointed out that in the process of learning, we should "read more, think more and practice with an open mind"
Yan Zhenqing, a calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, wrote an immortal poem "Persuade to Learn": "It's a reading night. Black hair doesn't know how to study early, and Bai Shoufang regrets studying late. " He advised people to study hard and not to miss the good time of reading.
Du Xunhe, a poet in the late Tang Dynasty, loved learning very much. He wrote a beautiful poem "Living in a secluded house": "On the window, the bamboo shadow shakes the book case, and the spring sounds into the inkstone pool. Teenagers will succeed if they work hard. Don't be lazy to the light. "
Lu You, a patriotic poet in Song Dynasty, has a special liking for reading. He wrote many poems about reading. Among them, there is the poem "Reading on a Winter Night, Distinguished Children" which has been told through the ages: "The ancients learned nothing, and it takes time to grow old. I feel that on paper, I never know if this should be done. " Warn my son that the knowledge gained only from books is still one-sided, and it is more important to practice it yourself.
Zhu, a philosopher in the Song Dynasty, wrote a philosophical poem "Random Thoughts on Reading" by the richest man: "When half an acre of square pond is opened, the sky is high and the clouds are light. The canal is so clear, because there is a source of living water. " This poem compares reading and updating people's knowledge very vividly.
Tang Xianzu, a great playwright in the Ming Dynasty, wrote The Peony Pavilion, which is a masterpiece of romanticism in the history of China's drama. He wrote in the poem "Zhengjue Temple shows brothers and Confucian ancestors": "White hair in the window urges sorrow, and the pale head at the bottom of the candle advises reading."
Song Yingxing, a scientist in the Ming Dynasty, wrote Poems of Compassion, urging people to be single-minded in reading and not confused: "Those who are full of geometry don't learn to fight. Thinking about the south and thinking about the north is insecure, and the mirror makes people have more white hair. "
Yu Qian, a poet in the Ming Dynasty, loved reading very much, and thought that reading can get a good spiritual enjoyment: "The book is as affectionate as ever, and every blind date is a mixture of sadness and joy in the morning. There are three thousand words in front of you, and there is no dust on your chest. "
Yuan Mei, a poet in Qing Dynasty, was well-read and versatile. One of his reading poems reminds people that reading requires understanding and should not be swallowed: "It is better to put it on the shelf than to read without knowing the taste. What is squid? It eats dregs all day. "
Xiao Lun, a poet in the Qing Dynasty, said that he wrote the poem Reading with Insights: "If you don't study for a day, you will have no good thoughts. It's refreshing not to study in January. " Persuade people to love reading, study persistently, and express their own truth incisively and vividly.

In France, from government officials to writers, professors and even ordinary people, almost all have the habit of loving books and reading. No wonder a Frenchman said, "If there are no books in the room, it is like a person without a soul." Can we say that? French people study not because of the burden and pressure of life, but because of the traction and slavery of strong interest and good feelings.
If reading is regarded as a spiritual journey, then peace is really the most important thing. No matter what you read, you need to give yourself a complete time period and a quiet atmosphere-writing is a personal act, so why isn't reading a personal experience? Once reading has entered a leisurely state, it will certainly be like what Wu Hui, a scholar in the Yuan Dynasty, said, "Shang You is an ancient man." In other words, at this moment, scholars have had spiritual communication with the ancients, thus cultivating, purifying and upgrading their inner world.
This is the true meaning of leisurely reading, but not everyone can grasp it. I saw these two stories in the newspaper recently, and I think they are quite telling. There was a scholar named Lu Cheng in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. He has been eager to learn since he was a child. He sits, sleeps, eats, and keeps his hand on the book. After reading the Book of Changes for three years, I know it by heart, but I don't understand the truth. On the surface, "reading the Book of Changes for three years" can be calm. However, how can it be related to leisure reading without seeking aesthetic experience and emotional expression? Both of them like reading and reciting, but Mao Dun, a great literary master, is calm enough. He can also recite a dream of red mansions 120 poems skillfully. Isn't Mao Dun's great achievement in novel creation due to his leisure reading and his ability to turn book knowledge into spiritual nourishment?
People who study leisurely are afraid of and have no lack of interest in reading. Back in those days, Sima Wengong wrote that "several cases must be cleaned first to remove the mattress, and then sit up", and some people "turn over the books in a lonely light on a rainy night", while others think that "reading should be in bed, by the stove, in the fog and smoke, by the bottle to read its taste". So, I guess Lu Xun read history, and from the cracks full of "benevolence, righteousness and morality", he saw that the word "cannibalism" was written all over the book. He saw that in thousands of years of history, there were only two times, one was when people wanted to be slaves but could not, and the other was when they became slaves temporarily. This groundbreaking statement, of course, relied on his insight, but why not have a cup of tea with Lu Xun?
It is impossible for a person to really study calmly, not to regard reading as a spiritual obligation, and not to entrust a period of youth to noble thoughts and sincere words. Because people who don't want to study at leisure can have many reasons, such as the world is too noisy, there are too many lively things, the temptation is too strong and so on. No wonder many scholars in ancient times always regarded meditation as a compulsory course of Neo-Confucianism, so as to clear their thoughts and dispel other distractions. Zhu warned readers: "When you sit quietly and cultivate your self, you should observe and understand the truth." Cheng Yi said: "Every time people can't sit still, they sigh and learn." Yes, only when you break through the lock of fame and fortune can you withstand loneliness and temptation, and you can study calmly. In this sense, reading should be unconditional, completely depending on my choice. Take French President Mitterrand as an example. He has been in politics for decades. No matter how busy his government activities are, he always sleeps for two hours every night without reading. It is conceivable that the president of a country is very busy, but he can still study leisurely. What about us?
The famous writer Ru Zhijuan hung a banner in his library that read "Cooking Books". She said, "Reading books is not enough. Reading stories is tantamount to swallowing dates, so read them intensively. However, this is not enough, but also' cooking'. How familiar and thorough' cooking' is. "
If a good book is regarded as a friend, what can a person who can't "cook" sit among a group of talented friends but be a puppet, a satire and a torture? A scholar said, "Everyone is a god, and then there will be a party at Olympus." What a wonderful speech! If you want to be a "god", you might as well start with "cookbooks" and learn to read leisurely!
Perhaps, we can't get close to the realm of peace all our lives. However, the process of advocating calm quality has undoubtedly begun to calm down.
