The purpose of reading for the elderly does not need to be clear and there is no burden. They don't ask Wenda, but seek pleasure from books to achieve the purpose of pleasing to the eye. The selected reading materials should be easy, such as novels, stories and pictorial. If you can, you can read some classical Chinese, have a noble taste and gain a lot of historical knowledge. If you teach Chinese, you will learn new things by reviewing the old ones. Read the newspaper and you can know what's going on in the world without leaving home. You don't have to be too serious about reading. Young people, unlike young people, pay attention to mastering and accumulating to solve practical needs, so most of them study hard. Old people read books to meet the needs of recreation. In order to pass the time, it is enough to adopt a "happy reading" attitude.
Confucius' life journey began with reading. At the age of fifteen, he was interested in learning. He read three weft knitting books of the Book of Changes. He lived to be old, and he kept on studying until he did what he wanted to do. Because of his extensive reading and profound knowledge, he has rules in his speech and manners and has become an example for future generations to learn.
I have a teacher colleague, who is also an old man who is never too old to learn. Over 70 years old, he is still guarding a pond half an acre square, writing poems with green lanterns and fireflies, and regularly going to the poetry, calligraphy and painting society in the center of veteran cadres in the district to communicate. The Old Gardener often publishes his excellent poems. Why is he so persistent at his age? Only the source of living water comes ",continue to study and study. My colleague has been studying for several years, and I'm not sure. At least he has a good foundation, but he has never been good at publicity, being humble and giving people a sense of stability. It can be seen that reading can continue people's wisdom in life and cultivate virtue.
"Being old and eager to learn is like the light of a candle" was said by Liu Xiang in the Han Dynasty. It seems that the pessimistic attitude of thinking that you are old and roaming in the west should be changed. You see, that's how Liu Xiang appreciates the residual light. As long as you keep learning until you are old, your old age will be as bright as lighting a candle after sunset.
