Famous aphorisms about reading:

The spirit of poetry and calligraphy comes from China

It is good (hǎo) to read but not good (hào) to read, good ( It is not good to (hǎo) study when hào) is studying. In the article, 1. Reading is enough for pleasure, enough for enrichment, and enough for talent. His joyful mood is most seen when he is alone in seclusion; his richness is most seen when he talks loudly; his talent is most seen when he is dealing with the world and judging things. Although a skilled person can deal with the details separately or judge the details one by one, he must be the one who is eager to learn and think deeply.

2. If you spend too much time reading, you will become lazy. If you have too much literary talent, you will be pretentious. If you rely solely on articles to decide things, it will be the old school mentality. Reading makes up for the deficiencies of nature, and experience makes up for the deficiencies of reading. Innate talents are built up like natural flowers and plants. After reading, you know how to prune and graft them; and what is shown in the book is too big and useless if it is not modeled by experience.

3. Some books can be tasted, some can be swallowed, and a few need to be chewed and digested. In other words, some people only need to read part of it, some people only need to cover it in general, and a few need to read it in full. When reading, you need to concentrate on it and work tirelessly. You can also ask someone to read the book for you and extract the summary, but only if the subject matter is inferior or the value is not high. Otherwise, the refining of the book is like the distillation of water, and the taste will be the same as chewing wax.

4. Reading history makes people wise, reading poetry makes people smart, mathematics makes people thorough, science makes people profound, ethics makes people solemn, and logic and rhetoric make people eloquent. Become a character.
