Source: Southern Song Dynasty Zhu, "Reading Three"
Original: I have read it three times, which is mind awareness, eye awareness and mouth awareness. 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?
I once said: "There are three things in reading, namely, heart, eyes and mouth." If the heart is not here, the eyes will not look closely. If you don't concentrate, you can only look casually and never remember. Even if you remember, it won't last long. Of the three, consciousness is the most important. Since the mind is concentrated, how can the application of eye and mouth not reach the designated position? "

Poetic truth:
Reading should be from shallow to deep, from near to far, and it is not urgent or slow. This is to warn scholars not to rush for success, nor to slack off, but to produce results when progress is appropriate. Some people don't achieve much in reading because they don't work hard on the words "proficiency" and "precision".
From the perspective of reading methods, Zhu stressed that reading must be linked with itself and reality, and the learned theory should be translated into action. This view is desirable.
