1, Part I-The Analects of Confucius

Original text:

He is quick-thinking and eager for knowledge, and he is never shy to ask his subordinates for advice. ?

A person's real knowledge lies in knowing what he knows and what he doesn't know.

Know silently, never tire of learning, never tire of teaching.

Meaning:

Smart and studious people are not ashamed to ask for advice from people who are lower in status and less knowledgeable than themselves.

Knowing is knowing, and not knowing is not knowing. This is true wisdom.

Remember what you have learned silently, so that you are not satisfied with your study and don't know how tired you are.

1, second-[Song] Zhu

Original text:

I have tasted that there are three times to learn, namely, heart, eyes and mouth. The heart is not here, and the eyes don't look closely; Not single-minded, only read but not remember, remember for a long time. Of the three, the heart is the most urgent. Since the heart is here, won't the eyes be there?

Meaning:

I once said that reading pays attention to "three", that is, when reading, you should concentrate, read carefully and read aloud. If the heart is not in the book, then the eyes will not look carefully; Because the mind and eyes are not centralized and unified, they just look casually and will not remember. Even if they do, they will not remember for a long time. Of the three, the heart is the most important. If you concentrate, will your eyes and mouth wander?

Extended data

The first revelation of "The ancients talked about reading" tells us the attitude of learning: no one is perfect, everyone has advantages and disadvantages. We should not be ashamed to ask questions, but also work hard and seek truth from facts. This is the real intelligence.

The second revelation of "The ancients talked about reading": Tell us the method of reading, the combination of eyes, mouth and heart, the eyes should look wholeheartedly, the mouth should read aloud, and the heart should concentrate on thinking, so that reading will get twice the result with half the effort.
