Explanation:
Literally, these two poems mean: the classic books are not afraid of trouble. You have to taste them many times to know the true meaning of them.
Su Shi's two poems are euphemistic in tone, encouraging readers to go home and study with peace of mind. Don't rush for success. As long as you "study hard and think deeply", you will naturally understand the mystery of the classics, and one day you will be proud of it.
Appreciate:
"Old books" refer to classics, so we should "read and think deeply". The classic text is short and meaningful, which requires you to read more, be familiar with it and ponder it carefully before you can understand and experience it. The so-called "self-knowledge" and "self-knowledge" emphasize nature and cannot be anxious. This poem was originally intended to comfort and encourage this failed scholar, and to persuade him to go home and study with peace of mind, saying that there are not too many "old books", and the more you read, the more interesting it becomes. Although the classics are worth reading, the emphasis here is on people who are still studying there. Simplify it to the idiom "Never tire of reading", but pay attention to the book or work you are reading. This idiom is often associated with another idiom "I can't put it down". I can't put it down when I read it. After reading it, I can never get tired of reading it. This is a kind of praise and comment, and traditionally it is indeed a standard of evaluation. Of course, "reading a hundred times" only means "rereading", "reading more" and "reading repeatedly", and there is no need to read repeatedly.
The first two sentences have always been regarded as an important way of learning and research. There are actually two reading methods: one is familiar reading, and the other is deep thinking. Familiarity with reading means repeated reading. Su Shi warned An Biao to "never tire of reading" classic works. Repeated reading, over time, memorized by heart, naturally can achieve mastery through a comprehensive study. The so-called "reading a hundred times" is self-evident. In ancient China, the method of familiar reading was particularly emphasized. Although this method ignores the process of thinking and is somewhat mechanical, it emphasizes the understanding of dialogue and pays attention to cultivating students' reading ability since enlightenment. Once they understand the truth in the book, they will never forget it. Therefore, the process of familiarity is actually the process of understanding. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dong Yu made a deep study of Laozi and Zuozhuan. Someone asked him for advice, but he refused to teach. He just said: You must read the book a hundred times first, and the meaning is self-evident. Of course, "reading a hundred times" only emphasizes reading more, and it doesn't have to be read a hundred times. The number of readings should be in direct proportion to the understanding of the content. Cheng, a philosopher in the Northern Song Dynasty, said: "The smell of foreign things is long-lasting and disgusting; The longer you read, the deeper you get. "Although there are impressions in the books you have browsed, they are always unstable, easy to forget and don't come when you want to use them. However, the books you have read and recited become your own things, which you can use and get at your fingertips. When you think about a problem, you can easily think of it.
Familiar reading must also be combined with deep thinking. Confucius said: "Learning without thinking is useless, thinking without learning is dangerous". Han Yu said in "Persuasion": "If you are diligent and lazy, your success will be destroyed by thinking." Serious thinking is an important part of reading and learning. Reading without thinking, you can't read the beauty of a book, just like wolfing it down while eating. Although I am full, I don't know the taste. "Biography of Lu Chengnan" records a story: "Lu Cheng was called a master at that time. After reading the Book of Changes for three years, he couldn't understand the meaning of the text. Wang Jian said,' Duke Lu is also a bookcase.' "Later, people called people who only knew how to read but could not use it flexibly" bookcase ". Reading is not only to acquire knowledge, but also to apply what you have learned. Applying knowledge to practice is always inseparable from the process of thinking. Bole's son followed the map, but the swift horse he found turned out to be a toad. The reason for making such a joke is mainly because Bole's son only knows how to copy books mechanically, without his own thinking and experience.
