Half an acre of square pond opened, and the sky was overcast.
Why is the water in the pond so clear? Because there is inexhaustible living water for it.

2. Poetry of Persuasion?
Southern Song Dynasty: Zhu?
The days of youth are easy to pass away, and learning is difficult to succeed, so cherish every inch of time and don't let it go easily.
Before the sweet spring grass grows in the pond, the plane leaves in front of the steps have rustled in the autumn wind.

3. "Reading needs three people"
Southern Song Dynasty: Zhu?
When reading, you should read every word clearly, without missing a word, without adding a word, without memorizing a word, just recite it several times, naturally and for a long time.
The ancients said, "Read it a hundred times and you will know its meaning." If you read well, you don't need to explain, you know what it means. I have learned three times, that is, heart, eyes and mouth.
The heart is not here, the eyes don't look closely, the heart is not single-minded, it can only read, never remember, and it won't last long. Of the three, the heart is the most urgent. Since the heart is here, won't the eyes be there?
As long as you are reading, you should read every word aloud. You can't mispronounce a word, read one less word, read one more word, read one word backwards and barely memorize it. Read it a few times and it will come out naturally, even if it takes a long time.
The ancients said, "Read it a hundred times and you will know its meaning." In other words, if you read the book well and don't need to rely on others to explain it, you will naturally understand it. I once said that if you want to concentrate on reading, you must have three things in place, that is, heart, eyes and mouth.
If the heart is not in the book, then the eyes will not look at the heart and eyes carefully. Since you don't concentrate and just look casually, you can't remember it, and even if you remember it, it won't last long. Of the three, the heart is the most important. Now that the heart is here, are the eyes and mouth gone?
