The word "study" has a wide range. What kind of book is called "study", and reading a paper is considered reading? Is reading novels reading? So what does it mean to read the Four Books and Five Classics? So what does reading prose and poetry count as? All questions seem to return to their original point, why do we read? In fact, this topic has been discussed before. The answer given by Mr. Qian Liqun is that we should read some professional books and some literary and artistic works. The purpose of reading is to meet those great souls from books and learn from them. Learn to improve your three views and become a person with ideals, beliefs and creativity.
The article "A Rare Confusion" is a prose by Mr. Lu Xun. If you are interested, you can read it. Mr. Lu Xun gave me a thought about "what counts as reading." He does not agree with our use of Chinese characters. , Western translations are used to play word games, that is, using some partial words and strange words. This is also the case. If simply playing word games is regarded as "reading" or "literature", it is just superficial. Games, what are these things for?
I agree with Mr. Qian Liqun’s point of view. Although I don’t like scientific classification, I still agree with his remarks.
If people don’t read any books and just immerse themselves in life, will their spiritual world change? Regarding the "spiritual world", you may think that it is a bit mysterious. Is it really there? How does it affect people, and how can people develop "spiritual power"?
The answer is simple. Reading is the best way to develop spiritual strength. Of course, the influence of ancient "Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting" may be more obvious (if you really get into Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting) (in chess, calligraphy and painting), but reading must be a personal matter. We cannot see our own growth, and growth is not a straight-line thing. On the contrary, it is very similar to learning art. It is a thing where the progress goes up and down. The progress is a wavy line.
If reading is a matter of improving one's own cultivation, then if one has no cultivation, then it cannot be said to be "rarely confused".
