What's reading like?

We should not only read more new books, but also not neglect the books we have read before. We should always look through them. Just like making friends-make new friends, don't neglect old friends. Reading is like climbing a famous mountain-"if you cross a famous mountain, you will read a different book." When you are tired, just walk a few lines. If you are healthy, you can go to Wan Li Road. No matter how you go, you will stop in your heart. " Read fewer lines when you are tired; Read more books when you are in a good mood. Reading is like a farmer collecting firewood-"if you accumulate learning, you will gain." When I saw a mustard, I forgot. " . Reading is like a farmer's uncle picking firewood. When you see it, you pick it up immediately. Reading is like curing a disease-"All diseases in children can be cured, but vulgarity cannot be cured"; "Medical customs have a unique ear"; "I would rather eat without meat than live without bamboo; No meat makes people thin, no bamboo makes people vulgar; People are thin and fat, but ordinary people are incurable. " Therefore, being good at reading and reading good books can eliminate vulgarity and make people elegant. Reading is like eating-"eat mulberry, spin silk, not mulberry;" Bees pick flowers and brew honey, not flowers; Reading is like eating-you grow up if you eat well and grow up if you don't eat well. "When we eat, we should choose nutritious things to eat. If we eat indiscriminately, our health will go wrong. The same is true of reading. You can't catch a book, you should read it selectively, and you should read books that can increase your wisdom, knowledge and insight. Reading is like drinking water-"A scholar is like drinking rivers and seas; People who are thirsty will drink a little, and people who are thirsty will drink a lot. There are many famous monks and many good books in the world. I advise you not to fry oil and leave it to your children to study at night. "The ancients didn't want to cook with oil, but used it as lamp oil to study. It can be seen how important it is to study from ancient times to the present. " There are no 3,000 books in the chest, and there are no wonders in the eyes. You may not be able to write, but you will not hear heroes. "-You must read more books and travel more to increase your knowledge, broaden your horizons and write good articles. "Only books don't ask rich and poor, old and young, reading a book has a roll of benefits; Read a book for one day and benefit from it for one day; If you don't study for three days, your face will be disgusting and your language will be tasteless. Therefore, we should take time out to study every day. Don't be greedy in everything, you must be greedy when buying books. "When you encounter problems that you don't understand when reading, you must ask others for advice, and you must break the sand and find out. We shouldn't be greedy for money, but when buying books, we should be greedy. When we see a book we like, we will buy it without hesitation. Dear friend, can you join me in "picking up ancient books and reading them in your spare time, you will feel refreshed and open your business"? Reading is like playing with walnuts. There are several thin books in your schoolbag all the time. When friends arrive early for a party or go to bed at night, they have to turn over a few pages. Reading is like playing with walnuts. This feeling is not playing with steel eggs, but playing with iron eggs and stones, which is too heavy. Heavy reading can make people feel nervous. I don't need them, but it takes a long time and a good mood to read them. Just like a person diving, you must take a deep breath first, otherwise, reading is the same as not reading. Walnuts are different and relaxed. My book is very thin, so it is closer to the feeling of playing with walnuts. Although these thin books are thin, they must not be taken lightly. Just like a solemn beauty and a well-behaved beauty, they can't be taken lightly. It's not the first time for me to see it, but I've seen it again and again. Every time you read it, you will gain something, and what you feel will make your thoughts drift far away. My curiosity was induced again and again, and new ideas were layered like terraces in the mountains. A question mark flashed through my mind, proudly demanding my attention, meditation and answer. Selected Essays of Liang Yuchun, On the Edge of Life written by Qian Zhongshu, one of which was recommended by my university teacher and read carefully in college, and the other was recommended by my university classmates, who was also eager to read at that time. When life experience and literature reading experience increase, when you reread these works, you will suddenly have some psychological and emotional changes. Once upon a time, I admired it; Now, it is very respected. From the point of view of meaning, it seems that there are different shades, but the theme is the same. In the past, it could only be said that it was enthusiastic worship (just like I have never seen a beautiful woman fall in love at first sight), but now the respect is deeper and more selective love. They are all so thin that they can't be found in the bookshelf. But they are definitely not easy to read. If you read the last page, you should close the page and think it over. See if my understanding is highly consistent with the meaning expressed by the author, and if what is hidden behind the text has been discovered by me. Liang Yuchun died young. Like Mandelstam in Russia, their prose-if we give them a critic-I think they have the same status in the literary history of their own country. However, our attention to Liang Yuchun's prose is far from enough. Liang Yuchun is a gifted scholar, and his words are brilliant, full of aura and witty remarks. These works are greatly influenced by European and American sketches. He was originally high flyers from the English Department of this university. Qian Zhongshu's writing on The Edge of Life is basically the same as Liang Yuchun's, and also influenced by European and American sketches. Wisdom, talent, extensive knowledge and insight into life are vividly reflected in the book. I guess Mr. Qian Zhongshu is unwilling to publish this thin book, which is related to this reason. Anyway, these works are suspected of being affected. This kind of psychology is the same as Andersen's unwillingness to accept too much love from children. A great scholar like him is naturally harsh on his works. At least, these things made Mr. Qian Zhongshu blush after reading them. In fact, this is unnecessary. The works of all writers in the world are not groundless, nor are they made out of nothing. It is bound to be influenced by the best in the world. Being influenced and imitating are two different things. However, there are obvious differences between China writers and foreign writers. Foreign writers will frankly say who influenced their works, while writers in China are always ashamed to admit this fact. It seems that all the food is produced by ourselves. This has nothing to do with sunshine and air, and it all comes from my own sweat and hard work. Liang Yuchun's prose and Qian Zhongshu's prose are always uncomfortable to read. Because their cynicism is as sharp as a knife. However, there are also some depressed and depressed struggles. This is caused by the times. Both their works will make sharp and artistic criticism on society and life. It seems that there is some truth in the saying that an era makes a writer of an era. The themes of Lu Xun's and Yu Dafu's works are the same in Qian Zhongshu's and Liang Yuchun's essays. All jade, fire and needles. So these works are not easy to read. Reading the last book is tantamount to a strenuous exercise, so you have to catch your breath. Compared with Qian Zhongshu, Liang Yuchun's temperament is more sensitive and natural. And Nikolai Gogol's How to Write by Willy Sayef. It looks very thin, but the number of words is more than 70 thousand, almost short. Nikolai Nikolai Gogol was called a genius and an idiot. In my opinion, this evaluation is just right. Almost all the great writers in the world are a mixture of genius and idiot. But it is also a model of writers, especially their professionalism. This man is never satisfied with his own works, and he can accept all kinds of opinions with an open mind, even if it is sharp and mean, which will dwarf all writers who regard his works as pets. When I read the story of Nicholas Nikolai Gogol's writing process and how he accepted criticism from others with an open mind, my proud heart will never be proud, and my happy mood when writing a satisfactory work will disappear. This man's name is like a bell hanging over our heads, which will always warn us. Reading is like playing with walnuts, but this walnut is not easy at all. This way of reading is a unique way of reading, that is, turning over the classics when having fun, or taking the classics as a pastime. Reading is like "the old cow eats grass". My favorite scholar is Tao Yuanming. Many people say that he is a negative textbook for reading, because he "loves reading and doesn't want to know more", and reading should never be so sloppy. In fact, this is taken out of context. They only understand the meaning of the first half of Tao Yuanming's view of reading, but ignore the beauty of "every thing you know, you forget to eat happily". What is the realm of reading? It is knowing, it is knowing, it is a carefree mind, it is a silent miracle, and you can read the joy of forgetting to eat. He also said that after reading, he often amused himself by writing articles, and finally read them to make himself happy. In fact, this should also be reconciled with another old saying: "The ancient scholars are themselves, and today's scholars are human beings. "Many people ask me what is the secret of reading. In fact, there is only one secret, that is, I have the ability to ruminate. I call my reading process "the old cow eats grass". When I was a child or when I was free, I swallowed all the books I knew and didn't understand. When you have a rough time growing up and really want to use it, you will transfer. After such chewing, some nutrients can be integrated into my life. Reading is like "paper travel". Reading is the process of seeking knowledge: "If you have nothing to do, you can learn more common sense. "Maybe reading can't get any practical use. We should pay attention to the way of reading. First of all, you should have relevant background knowledge. Second, we must have our own selection criteria; Third, we should understand the publishing situation in China; Fourth, the above three items should be continuously expanded and updated; Fifth, you must learn how to read. " Some people study to prove themselves, whoever suits me is fine, and vice versa; Some people read books to get to know others, and don't stick to their own position. They always try to understand why the writer writes like this and try to follow his original ideas. "Reading is like a trip or a visit." You can visit Cao Xueqin today, Jane Austen tomorrow and perhaps Lu Xun or Zhang Ailing the day after tomorrow. Reading should be like this, it is the process of readers going to the author. "Readers should read widely and often visit the author." Some books may be beyond our comprehension, so when we visit the author, the journey is too long, or we can't open the door. But at least it takes effort and thought to visit. "I continued my reading life in different trips and visits. Reading is the most interesting thing, and I don't necessarily think reading is great. A sentence in Virginia Woolf's Ordinary Reader: "He reads for fun, not to impart knowledge or correct others' opinions", which tells the true meaning of reading. Reading is like a craftsman polishing diamonds. Reading is like a craftsman polishing diamonds. Every book is a cutting wheel. It is necessary to grind away the dark surface, let wisdom penetrate into the heart and reflect the beautiful light. This is "full of poems and books." "What's the difference between a saint and a layman? Emperor Kangxi said in the motto of court training: "A saint only talks about learning all his life, and he can really learn without getting tired. The reason why this saint is holy is also! Sages of all ages are like me. Why are some people willing to give up learning? If you are determined to learn, you will be wise. How can you resist? "That is to say, the difference between sages and saints, mortals and laymen is a word of learning. Confucius and Mencius were ordinary people at first. In order to create a good learning environment for him, Meng Mu moved three times. Emperor Kangxi's motto and the experience of ordinary people all illustrate a truth: determined to learn, never tire of learning, mortals can become saints, laity can become saints. Reading is as natural as breathing. From a small point of view, we should read more books for our own cultivation. For most people, leisure reading is a luxury. Busy work and physical and mental fatigue make free reading time less and less, but Mr. Lu Xun also said, "Time is like water in a sponge. As long as you squeeze it, there will always be." "A teacher friend described the current reading situation in Weihai as he saw it:" The children said, "How can I have time to study when I can't finish my homework? "Middle-aged people say: busy working to earn money, busy socializing after work, really have no time and are not used to reading. The old man said: books are so expensive, there is no money to buy books and no place to borrow them! But when everyone is busy, the game halls, mahjong tables, restaurants and bars are always crowded with people, even staying up all night. They are people who never worry about lack of people, money and time. " On the way to and from work, a friend reading with a book in his hand was once regarded as a "monster" by the people in the carriage. But abroad, people are consciously and naturally reading newspapers, magazines and books, which has become a beautiful scenery on buses and subways in some developed countries and regions. If we all start from ourselves, be a seed of reading and pick up books, I think our impetuous social air will be much quieter. Whether it is utilitarian reading or leisure reading, as long as we pick up the book, it will be beneficial to open it. With this cultural accumulation, if you can read higher-level books, you will have great wisdom overlooking life. There are many ways to read now, paper text, online download ... "Flowers are getting more and more charming." But our time is limited. What is the best book to read? Zhou, a famous philosophical essayist, said: "I am often asked if there is a shortcut to learning philosophy." My answer is always: yes, just read the original works of great philosophers. " By the way, are there any shortcuts for us ordinary people to learn? Then we can definitely answer: "Yes, it is to read the original works of literature, history, thought and education directly." "Take the law, get it" and read the taste, and our self-cultivation will be improved imperceptibly. There is salt in the soup! British novelist Stevenson said, "If you can't finish writing a book, you can at least start writing the first page." Now, to paraphrase him, I want to make an initiative to myself and my friends: pick up books, friends! If we can't finish reading a book, at least we can read the first page from now on! Let reading be as natural as breathing, and let it become a way of life for us. Each of us strives to be a seed of reading, adding a touch of humanistic green to our beautiful Weihai, and then spreading into an oasis. Germans study as usual as drinking beer. "How can Germany be great if it is not balanced by splendid national culture?" Libraries, museums and theaters all over the country, as a force to support and promote the improvement of national culture, should never be ignored. Goethe Goethe, a famous German writer, once said: Reading a good book means talking with noble people. Germans have great enthusiasm for this "dialogue". Even in today's era when TV, Internet and other media are very developed, they still maintain the tradition of loving reading, and the services provided by society also make it very convenient for them to learn. It is common for people to bury their heads in books in subway cars, on parks and lawns, and even in hospital waiting rooms. Polls show that 70% of Germans like reading, more than half often buy books, and one third read books almost every day. It is worth mentioning that young people under the age of 30 have the highest reading enthusiasm among people of all ages. It can be seen that books have been integrated into the daily life of Germans. For ordinary Germans, reading is as common as drinking beer. In Germany, it is convenient to buy books. Bookstores are easy to find in both urban and rural areas. A small town with more than 65438+100000 people will have at least one or two large bookstores. In Germany with a population of more than 82 million, there are more than 5,000 bookstores of all kinds. In the bookstore, if the book buyer can't find the book he wants on the shelf, the bookstore will take the initiative to help the customer order from the publishing house, and the book buyer will soon get the book he needs. In addition to bookstores, some supermarkets and gas stations also sell books. In some large storage supermarkets, people will see the latest bestsellers, discount books, newspapers and magazines on the shelves. There are often one or two books in supermarket trolleys, filled with daily food such as milk and bread. In addition, Germans also buy books through various channels such as publishing house direct sales, mail order and online ordering. Buying books online is becoming more and more popular, and the number of people buying books is doubling every year. The environment in the German bookstore is very quiet and elegant. Some big bookstores also have cafes that play music, and people can browse books while drinking coffee. Some bookstores also have reading areas where there are many sofas and chairs. In bookstores, books are often classified according to different fields, which is very convenient for readers to find. A large number of libraries also satisfy the Germans' love for books. There are more than 65.438+0.4 million libraries in Germany with 65.438+0.29 billion books. Many libraries enhance their attraction by organizing writers' lectures and holding cultural activities. Small towns often have libraries, and villages without fixed libraries are often favored by mobile libraries, which is convenient for rural people to borrow books. There are many organizations related to books in Germany, and their activities have improved people's reading enthusiasm. The German Booksellers Association and the Reading Foundation often hold various activities to promote reading. The recently established "German Reading Association" organizes celebrities to read good articles for teenagers in libraries or bookstores to stimulate their reading interest. The overall quality of Germans is high, which is closely related to their fine tradition of reading extensively. Goethe once noticed the significance of the power of books and culture to Germany. He said: "How can Germany be great if it is not spread to all parts of the country in a balanced way through its splendid national culture? Libraries, museums and theaters all over the country, as a force to support and promote the improvement of national culture, should never be ignored. " Reading history books like looking for mines is not about events, but about the truth behind them, but it requires answers from philosophy and religion, so these two kinds of books must be read. "When I started reading a history book, such as" The History of World Civilization "by Will Duran, he admired it very much because" the words are particularly beautiful ". "To understand history, we must have philosophical support, so we should read more books on philosophy and religion." Reading is like looking for mines, from one place to another, from one field to another. "For humanists, reading should have both depth and breadth. It is not difficult to go deep into the field of study. Under the academic system of China, it is common for a person to study and study repeatedly in a narrow field for decades. So he thinks that what is important is the breadth of interdisciplinary reading. Reading is like making friends. I like to read reliable books, or "old" books. In my opinion, reading is like making friends. The older the better. " Western canon "let me find out that this is an old friend, and I am deeply encouraged by many viewpoints in the book." The reason is that his views have always stood in the literary position. Moreover, those anti-literary views have been fairly and severely ridiculed in the book, which is very enjoyable to read. Reading is like tasting coffee. Reading is like tasting a cup of coffee: at first, books are bitter and boring. When I was young, I didn't know how to taste them. After several years, I gradually understand that drinking coffee is a kind of enjoyment, and the taste of bitter first and then sweet is gradually familiar. Reading is to taste life slowly, taste the ups and downs of life, and taste it with your heart. Books are coffee and hearts are honey. Studying hard means adding honey to coffee, which is sweet and bitter, and the taste is too strong, which makes people memorable. Reading is like falling in love. Reading is like falling in love. It needs environment. I have never read any books on the computer. Reading on the computer is like falling in love with a robot. Reading must have the fragrance, shape and personality of the book. According to the content of the book, you need to choose different places and times to read it. Ancient people had to burn incense and wash their hands when reading, sometimes even accompanied by beautiful women. This realm is beyond our reach now. But we can still create some small environments. For example, when reading ancient Chinese, you should light a candle in the middle of the night, make a cup of tea, read slowly word by word and taste slowly; When reading a poem, it is best to listen to the rain outside the window, gently read the poem into the rain, think about the poet's ups and downs, read the language in the poem, and can't help crying; When reading a novel, it is best to immerse yourself in the plot of the novel in the wild, by the lake or at the foot of the mountain. It is not too soon to have mountains and rivers echoing all joys and sorrows. When reading philosophy books, you should go downtown and think about the meaning of existence and birth in crowded places. Even if you can't figure out why, there will be no problem, because when you look up, you will see a busy world. I think reading is like visiting-"invisible" visiting. If you want to meet an admired teacher or a famous scholar, you don't have to say hello in advance, and you are not afraid to disturb the host. Open the book, break into the house, turn a few pages and enter the room; And you can always go, always go, if you can't get to the point, you can leave without saying goodbye, or simply find someone else to confront him. Don't ask whether the host we want to visit lives at home or abroad, whether it belongs to modern ancient times, what major it is, whether it is serious talking or joking, we can get close enough. We can listen respectfully to Confucius' disciples to recall the master's last words, or we might as well ask with a naughty smile, "Master Meng, whose words will be called' benevolence and righteousness'": If you were born in the same era as us, would you still be an old Marxist-Leninist gentleman? ..... We can listen to all kinds of anecdotes of the past dynasties, and we can also learn the most mysterious innovative theories of the present age or pretend to be amazing. Anyway, as long as it's love words or unpleasant words, you might as well get out as soon as possible, or even slam the door-that is, write it-and no one will blame you. This is a rare freedom in the outside world! -Jiang Yang, reading is like eating an apple. Reading is the same as eating apples. The child saw an apple there, which was beautiful. It was delicious to take a bite and ate it. Our parents are often concerned about whether there are pesticide residues in this apple. When is a good time to eat before and after meals? Where would it be more reasonable to bite first? Is it better to eat half or two at a time? Can eating apples quickly increase the content of vitamin C in the body? ..... If one day, children don't want to eat apples any more, all positive assumptions are zero. When children read a good book and a book that interests them, they will soon be attracted by what is described in the book, and over time, children will naturally fall in love with books. In our family, we don't need to buy meat and clothes, but we must buy children's books. Because books are the ladder of human progress, we must never tear down the ladder of progress! Reading is like climbing a mountain. The scenery at the foot of the mountain, the mountainside and the top of the mountain is different, with beauty and ugliness. But as long as you study, you can learn profound knowledge and philosophy of life. Reading is like eating. Reading is like eating. Some people only read magazines or fashion books that sell well (but not for a long time). They are often wrapped in the beautiful coat of novels, essays and poems, but they have nothing to do with literature and real life, and are full of works of regular secular philosophy or seemingly romantic but safe and mediocre little love tunes. Watching these things all the time is equivalent to eating snacks every day instead of eating well. Think about it, if a person only eats chocolate beans, puffed shrimp, ice cream, preserved fruit and melon seeds for three meals a day, what will his body look like? If you want to develop normally, you must eat well, pay attention to dinner, what to eat three times a day, eat whole grains, eat delicacies, eat fruits and vegetables, and get enough starch, protein, fat, vitamins and various trace elements needed by the body. When it comes to reading, mind and body are the same. If you want to develop normally and thrive healthily, you need to read more classics, the fathers of all eastern and western literature, and the works of chief writers and poets of all ethnic groups who have stood the test of time. Only in this way can a person's spirit grow into a towering tree, not a low shrub or herb, or even a water spinach. Reading only classics may be too tiring, so you might as well read some current words, just like eating snacks after meals, for recreation and supplement, not for eating. Reading can also have personal tastes and interests like eating, but no matter how paranoid the tastes and interests are, the above meaning can't be wrong. Reading is like eating carrots. You must often eat carrots, right? Carrots contain many kinds of nutrients needed by human body. They are sweet, rosy and nutritious. People used to call it "ginseng". As we all know, ginseng is a kind of wild, rare and nutritious plant, which is used to nourish the body, increase resistance, make people healthy and prolong life. Knowledge is the ladder of human success and progress. Reading is like eating ginseng. Books contain infinite wisdom and wealth. Knowledge comes from books, and only by constantly reading and absorbing the essence from it can we continuously meet the needs of knowledge growth. The book has its own Yan Ruyu, and the book has its own golden house. Reading is a pleasure, and I have gained a lot of knowledge through extensive reading. For example: What is the universe? How did the universe come into being? What celestial substances does it include? What's space like? What is a celestial body? What is the Milky Way? What is the solar system? How do they move? What are Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Lyra, Eagle and Sagittarius? What is a star? What is a planet? Why do they glow? Can you exercise? What is organic matter? What is inorganic matter? How life originates, develops, changes and dies, etc. I am familiar with some scientists, inventors, politicians, theorists, military strategists, historians, revolutionaries and social activists at all times and all over the world, and have mastered the historical records of some major events, such as the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Chen Sheng's Guangwu, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the First and Second World Wars, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and so on. Knowledge is infinite. As time goes on, I think I will learn more and more useful knowledge. Tired of reading, writing is like a god. Only by reading more books can we master more knowledge, be familiar with astronomy and geography, understand more truth, understand more things, solve more doubts, discover more laws and explore the mysteries of science. Opening books is beneficial. We should read more books and study hard. Only by reading more books can we master more and more knowledge. Only when we speak and write articles can we have answers, use them freely and speak fluently. Let's start from now on, start from me, start from scratch, stand up and study hard. Only when you are determined to become a talent and read more books can you break the wall after ten years.
