Appreciation of Beauty ｜ My 80 -year reading experience Author: Feng Youlan Reading: Wang Hui

Author: Feng Youlan Reading: Wang Hui

I am 87 years old. I have been studying at the age of seven years old. I have been studying for 80 years. There is basically no interruption during this time. I ca n’t say that I have no experience in reading. The books I read are probably the aspects of literature, history, and philosophy, especially the philosophy. There are four points in my experience: Selected, explained their words, knew their intentions, and clearly.

Let's talk about the first point first. In ancient and modern Chinese and foreign, the accumulated books are really polarized. It is really vast. However, although there are many books, there are still a few on the permanent value. You can divide books into three categories. The first category is intensive, the second category can be read, and the third category is for flipping. The so -called intensive reading is to read it carefully, and read it solidly. The so -called pan -reading means that you can read it in rough branches, as long as you know what it probably says. The so -called flipping means that you do n’t read one word by word, do n’t read one by word, and do n’t read one page by page. Just like reading the newspaper, turn around, look at the title of the big word, and look at it when you feel that you are interested. I heard that when there were newspapers in China, some people were holding newspapers, just like reading the five books and four books, and recited loudly. According to this method, a day's newspaper can't read it for a day. Most books are actually like news in newspapers. Some may be sensational, but the average flowers have passed soon. Therefore, although there are many books, there are not many real reading. The following refers to the book worthy of intensive reading.

How do you know which books are worthy of intensive reading?

Don't worry about this problem. Since ancient times, there have been the most fair selection, and many recommenders have recommended good books to it. This choice is time, and these recommenders are the masses. The people who have always recommended them to the time they think are valuable to time. Time is based on their recommendations. For those books without permanent value, they have passed down those books with permanent value. The books that have been passed down since ancient times have passed through the recommendation of the masses, and the choice of time has been passed down. We see most of the books circulating in ancient times, and most of them are valuable. We feel strange in our hearts. In fact, there is nothing weird. There are many things they do, but these valuable things are not recommended by the people of all ages. In the test of time, they were selected and brushed down.

Now we are called "classic works" or "classical works". Books in this category are all read books. Of course, over time and the development of history, some of these books have been brushed down. But until now, they are all famous on the list, we can only look at the current list.

With this number in our hearts, we can choose some books that need to be read with our professionalism. This is to read one by one, so you can only read one book in a time, and you can read the second book after reading a book. When you read, you must first explain it. That is to say, we must first understand its text; its text is its language. Language is divided into Chinese and foreign, as well as ancient and modern. As far as Chinese Chinese, there are modern Chinese, ancient Chinese, and ancient Chinese, which are collectively referred to as ancient Chinese. In detail, there are different times in the ancient texts. There are ancient texts of the pre -Qin Dynasty, the ancient Chinese of the two Han Dynasty, the ancient texts of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the ancient texts of the Tang and Song dynasties. The ancient books of the Chinese Han nationality are written in these different ancient texts. These ancient texts are written in ordinary Chinese characters, but it is not enough to know Chinese characters. We can't understand the books written by the ancients, and the ancients would not understand our current newspapers. This is called Language Customs. If you can't break this level, you can't see what the situation is in this pass. I don't know what the Guan is in the Guan, so I have to pointed at the outside of Guan Guan. It is not possible. What I said to explain. It is to break through this language. Of course, when you attack this level, you must first make many preparations and use many tools such as dictionaries and dictionaries. This is of course, so I won't talk about it here.

There is an old saying in China that "the book is not talking and endlessly", which means that there are always fewer words written in a book than those who write the book. Essence The book is always simpler in a book, and it can't be ashamed as what he wants to say. There is a way to overcome this disadvantage. As long as he is not afraid of Luo Yan. Fortunately, the pen and ink and paper are very cheap. The article is a bit of nothing more than a bit of pen and paper, which is not a great thing. But the difficulty of saying that there was no way to overcome it. Because the language cannot be separated from the concept, the concept is not completely appropriate for specific things, but it is just a rough outline. For example, a person says his toothache. Teeth are a concept, pain is a concept, and toothache is another concept. In fact, he just stopped toothache. That pain has a special pain, there is a certain size range, and there is a certain depth. This is a very complicated situation. It is not just to make it clear that the word two words can be made. Therefore, when reading, even if the words in the book are recognized, they understand all the words, and they may not know what to write.

In the past, people said that reading should pay attention to the lines in the words, and also said that reading poetry must be "stringed sound, taste outside the taste". This is to understand the spiritual essence of its spirit outside of the text. This is the meaning of its meaning. Sima Qian said: "I know the scholars who think well, and I know it." It means that it is inseparable from the language, but some of the language cannot be fully expressed. If it is limited to language and grasping the language and words, it will become dead reading. The person who reads a book is a nerd. Language and text are the rumors that help to understand the meaning of the book. Now that you know that meaning, it is best to throw the stick. This is what the ancients said "proud and forgetful words." In the relationship between people, crossing the river to dismantle the bridge is immoral. However, in reading, it is to cross the river to disassemble the bridge. The above mentioned "the book is not stated", and "Endless Words", you can also add another phrase "unreasonable". The reason is objective; it means the subjective understanding and judgment of the person who is a book, that is, the objective reason for his subjective reflection. Since there is a subjective and objective division, the intention and the reason cannot be fully combined. People are always people, not omnipotent and omnipotent. His subjective reflection, experience, and judgment, there must always be a certain gap with objective truths, with large or small errors.

Therefore, it is not possible to read it only if it is done, and it is not necessary to make it reasonable. If it is reasonable, I will have my own intention. My meaning is of course subjective. It may not be exactly objective. But I can compare my intentions with my predecessors, complement each other, and correct each other. This may have a more correct intention. This means mine, I can use it to deal with transactions and solve problems. It seems that I walked with my own legs, as long as I thought about walking, my legs naturally walked. Even if you can read this level, you can learn it alive and read the book. Those who can read can read the dead books; those who do not read can read the live book to death. When reading the dead book, you can use the book to use the book and read the life to death. Can be used for books instead of books, even if you read it at home.

Someone once said: "Six Classics Inject me, I note the Six Classics." I understand those objective truths, I have the intention of myself, and take the intention of their predecessors as a reference. This is the "Six Classics." I do n’t understand those objective truths, and even as for the ancients of the ancients, but only scrutinating in language, that is, "I note the Six Classics." Only when the "Six Classics Injects Me" can truly "I note the Six Classics."
