1, Zhuge Liang: Look at the rough method. ●

Zhuge Liang, in the eyes of the world, is the embodiment of a wise man. But Zhuge Liang in Luo Guanzhong's Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a literary image, and he is deified in some places. Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms of Chen Shou is a real historical figure.

The History of the Three Kingdoms records such a thing: Zhuge Liang studied with Xu Shu and Meng successively, but his reading styles and methods were different. Xu, Shi and Meng "served well" and Zhuge Liang "looked at the overall situation alone".

"Good at service" means reading carefully, trying to understand thoroughly and know it by heart. "Just reading the outline" means that Zhuge Liang's reading method is different from the other three schools and unique; He grasped the spiritual essence of the book from a strategic perspective as a whole, and did not dwell on the issue of branches and vines. It can be seen that Zhuge Liang is better than others in both war and study.

How to study and apply Zhuge Liang's reading method of "overall situation" in detail?

Wang Tongxun, a middle-aged scholar, has studied this problem. He thinks: To master the reading method roughly, "it is important to have five points: [1] to have a certain philosophical accomplishment and be good at summarizing and refining. [2] You should not only get into the book, but also stand on it and think independently. (3) always pay attention to the cutting-edge knowledge and stand at the forefront of this subject knowledge. (4) Understand the most basic concepts, theorems and principles, especially the key. [5] Proficient in materialist dialectics. "

2, Tao Yuanming: Do not seek answers. ●

Tao Yuanming, a great poet in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, wrote a biography of Mr. Wuliu, which said: "Learn well, but don't ask for more knowledge;" Every time I am interested, I will forget to eat happily. " In fact, Mr. Tao Lao once entrusted Mr. Wu Liu to describe his reading life and explain his views on reading.

Tao Yuanming's reading method of "not seeking a good solution" has always been praised and derogated. People who disagree think that what Tao Yuanming advocates is a casual and superficial style and an irresponsible attitude. Of course, some people agree with Tao Yuanming's method. For example, Li Zhi, a native of the Yuan Dynasty, said, "Those who don't seek answers are proud of their nonsense, and don't be like old pedants." What Li Zhi means is: Tao Yuanming's reading concept of "not asking for a deep understanding" is a famous saying, unlike some pedantic bookworms who cling to chapters and sentences and have no future.

Is Tao Yuanming's reading method of not asking for more knowledge desirable? There is no need to jump to conclusions. Let's take a closer look at Tao Yuanming's reading background and analyze his original intention of writing, and the problem will be much clearer.

Tao Yuanming recalled his childhood studies and said, "Young people are poor, but they can swim well through the Six Classics." It can be seen that he has been studying Confucian classics since childhood. By good reading, he naturally means reading classics. When reading classic history books, you must read notes, but the notes made by some scholars in Han Dynasty are voluminous, empty and boring, and irrelevant to Wan Li. For example, at that time, a small Xiahou school wrote hundreds of thousands of words just to explain the word "Yaodian". This is a very bad style of study. Pedantic explanation, abstract and far-fetched, is good for reading? Far from being beneficial, it is harmful and will interfere with the understanding and understanding of the original intention of the book.

Therefore, Tao Yuanming's view of "not seeking for a very good solution" is targeted. In his view, it is not necessary to spend a lot of energy to study worthless annotations, but to pay attention to reading the original text and understand its basic content. From this point of view, it is wrong to put a hat on Mr. Tao that advocates carelessness.

Although Tao Yuanming's method of "not seeking for a solution" is concrete, it also has certain universal significance. Think about it. If you try to "understand" anything you read, how many books can you read in your life? For some books, you can "don't ask for a solution", and then you go through it; Some books can temporarily "not seek an extraordinary solution" and wait until it is necessary to "seek an extraordinary solution".

3. Yang Dayan: Ear reading. ●

Ear reading, can you read with your ears? Unless it's someone with special powers. How do normal people read books with their ears?

Sure！ There was one in ancient China. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a general named Yang Dayan in the Northern Wei Dynasty. This man is a winning general and enjoys high prestige. The story about his reading is recorded in Volume 37 of the History of the North: "Although Dayan didn't learn, he always sent people to read and listen, knowing everything." I dictated when I made the cloth, but I didn't read much. "

You see, although Yang Dayan can't read many words, he has gained a lot by sitting there listening to others. He not only memorized a lot of knowledge, but also dictated the text of the notice. It can be seen that Yang Dayan's reading method is still effective. This reading method mainly relies on listening to others' reading with ears, so it is called "ear reading" method.

Although the ear reading method originated in ancient times, it still has practical value today. The late famous scholar Deng Tuo highly praised Yang Dayan's listening reading. He said that the ear reading method is very suitable for people who are too old to read books and for many great politicians in modern times. These great politicians often have to read and process a lot of books, newspapers and documents in a short time. They don't have three heads and six arms. General materials and documents have to be read and processed by several secretaries, and the most important thing is to read them once or twice. Therefore, Yang Dayan's ear reading method is not backward.

In fact, listening reading is not only suitable for the elderly and politicians, but also useful for each of us. For example, listening to news broadcast, novel broadcast and knowledge lecture on the radio is equivalent to reading with your ears. You can listen while walking, you can sit on the bus and even listen while doing some manual work. It is both time-saving and convenient. This is killing two birds with one stone. A tape recorder is a more modern learning tool than a radio. We can record relevant learning contents (such as foreign languages, etc.). ) put it on tape (or MP3 players and mobile phones that can be played with walkman) and listen to it repeatedly at any time.

Modern people spend more and more time reading with their ears "Ear reading" is really a modern reading method!

4. Han Yu: I want to hook. ●

When it comes to reading, Han Yu, a great scholar in the Tang Dynasty, once said a famous saying: "Those who remember things must mention their essentials, and those who make words must hook their mystery." Later generations summed up his words as a reading method of "mentioning the essentials and hooking the mystery".

According to Han Yu's method, books are classified first, and then different reading methods are adopted according to the nature and type of books. For those memorable history books, we must put forward an outline when reading, that is, extract the main contents of the book from the outline; For those theoretical books, when reading, we should pay attention to exploring their profound views, that is, grasping their essence.

If you can read, the effect will be very good. Because "mentioning its essence" can make you clear about the occurrence and development process of events in the book and the reasons for their occurrence and development, let you further understand the relationship between events and see the essence through phenomena. It is convenient to grasp the key points, thoroughly understand the spiritual essence, and conduct in-depth research on some important points, so as to broaden our horizons, activate our thinking, increase our knowledge and improve our level, and turn the nutrition in the book into our own flesh and blood.

Some students often feel that after reading a book, they feel vague and vague, and the results are of course minimal. This is the reason why there is no "reasoning" when reading. If you can put forward its "gist" and tick off its "mystery" while reading, then you will basically grasp the main content of this book.

5. Su Dongpo: Being attacked on all sides. ●

Su Dongpo, a great writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, is a famous reading method.

How is the method of "besieged on all sides" put forward? What do you know? The thing is this: A man named Wang Yao asked Su Dongpo how to read when he was preparing for the exam. Su Dongpo wrote him a letter with a passage:

"Books are as rich as the sea, and there are department stores. People's energy is inexhaustible, but they get what they want. Therefore, I hope that scholars will make a request every time. If you want the rise and fall of ancient times, the role of sages is only this intention, so don't give birth to Yu Nian. Don't do it again, seek truth from facts, make laws and regulations, etc., so he imitates. Although this seems pedantic and blunt, he learned it in the future and was attacked on all sides, which is different from an amateur. "

The meaning of this passage is that rich books are like the sea, with all kinds of treasures and everything. But a person's energy is limited, and it is impossible to have everything, only what he needs. Therefore, anyone who is interested in reading only needs to focus on one question at a time. For example, if you want to study the rise and fall of dynasties and the status and role of wise kings and ministers, then you can just focus on this issue and not think about anything else. For another example, if you want to consider historical sites and classic cultural relics in another reading, you should still do so. Other aspects and so on. Learning by this method of "being attacked on all sides" seems a bit boring, but by the time they finish their studies, those who dabble in it can't keep up with the competition.

Later generations all agree with Su Dongpo's reading method. For example, Li Ciming, a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, praised: "The good method of studying sincerely is also." Comrade Mao Zedong also said in "Rural Survey": "Su Dongpo is also right to study history with the method of" being attacked from all sides "and Song Dynasty with the method of" being attacked from all sides ". Today, when we study China society, we should also divide it into four parts: politics, economy, culture and military, and draw the conclusion of China Revolution. It is not unreasonable that "Surrounded by Enemies" is highly praised by later generations, because it is a brilliant method of reading and studying problems. Divide the research object into eight aspects, then divide it into eight parts, process and sort it out according to the research results of eight aspects, and then draw a profound and incomplete conclusion!

In the final analysis, the method of "being attacked on all sides" is a clever use of analytical method and comprehensive method in reading methods.

When talking about his experience of reading Hanshu, Su Dongpo said: "I have tasted Hanshu, and I started from it. Such as governance, people's feelings, geography, official system, art of war, wealth and goods. Don't wait to count, but everything is fine. " This is a concrete example of Su Dongpo's reading by "being attacked from all sides". He has to read Hanshu many times and divide it into several aspects, such as governing the country, people and geography. Every time he reads it, he specializes in a problem. Therefore, he has a thorough understanding of every aspect of this book. This example proves that the effect of "being attacked on all sides" reading is remarkable.

6. Land travel: targeted methods. ●

"Eating, drinking, groaning, sighing and sighing are all the same as books." This is a self-portrait of Lu You, a great writer and outstanding poet in the Song Dynasty. He loved reading all his life, taking books as his companions and interacting with them. However, although he reads a lot, he reads a lot, which is not miscellaneous and chaotic. He has a clear purpose in reading.

First of all, he pays attention to systematic reading. In modern terms, it is to read a lot of books in a planned way according to the needs of building a knowledge structure. He was ambitious since he was a child. He often encourages himself with the spirit of his grandfather Lv Dianzhi's "reading on the moon" and is determined to read thousands of books systematically.

As a teenager, he studied a lot of ancient poems; When he was young, he read everything from "World Heritage" to "Ancient Books of Pre-Qin Dynasty", and later he finished reading six classics, Zuo Zhuan, Li Sao and other important historical masterpieces.

Secondly, he pays attention to reading in combination with research topics. For example, in order to study Du Fu, he chose many books about Du Fu and devoted himself to studying them. As a result, he received good results, such as "Notes on Old Learning Temple" and other works, which wrote down his unique views on Du Fu's research.

Third, he pays attention to linking reading with use. In order to realize his ambition of resisting foreign invasion and serving the motherland, he studied martial arts while preparing for a decisive battle in Japan. When he was reading Sun Tzu's Art of War, he also wrote a poem entitled Reading Art of War at Night: "Lonely lights in autumn and frosty nights, poor mountains read art books. Wan Li devoted his whole life to being the predecessor of the King. All soldiers killed in battle are ashamed to go back to their wives! ……"

7. Zhu: Step by step method. ●

"Or ask the method of reading, its difficult and helpless? Say: step by step. " This is the basic reading method put forward by Zhu, a philosopher and educator in the Southern Song Dynasty, in Reading Essentials.

What is step by step? Zhu made a detailed explanation: as far as two books are concerned, it is "one book after another"; As far as a book is concerned, "chapters and sentences, beginning and end, are also orderly and not chaotic." He also demanded: "If you don't get ahead, you won't dare to ask for it; If you don't know this, you can't be interested in it. "

Why step by step? Zhu said with a vivid metaphor, "For example, when climbing a mountain, many people have to go to high places. I don't know how to ignore low places, but there is no reason to go to high places. "

Zhu's proposition shows that reading should choose a goal from the shallow to the deep, starting with the most basic books, reading one and then reading another, and reading another section after reading one section; We can't read indiscriminately, regardless of priorities. As long as you study step by step, you will get the effect of "clear meaning and no danger of being lazy"

8. Chen Shan: Access method. ●

Chen Shan, a native of Southern Song Dynasty, wrote a new story about lice. He wrote in the book:

"Read in and out. Go in at the beginning and come out at the end. See xian Si Qi, this into calligraphy; Very useful. It's calligraphy. I can't get into the book, I don't know the intentions of the ancients; If you can't publish a book, you will die in words. If you only know the difference, you have to do your best to read it. "

The meaning of this passage is:

When reading, you should know what you are entering and what you are getting rid of. Advance is to read into the book, understand it thoroughly and master the essence of the book; Out, that is, jump out of books, be able to use book knowledge flexibly and solve practical problems. When you start reading, you need entrance, and the ultimate goal of reading is to ask for exit. If you can't understand the book, you can't understand "The ancients are careful", that is to say, you can't understand the profound ideological content and brilliant artistic skills in the book; If you can't jump out of reading, you will "die of words", that is, your mind will be bound by books and become a bookworm. Only knowing how to get in and out is a good way to study.

The spiritual essence of the Law of Reading in and out put forward by Chen Shan based on his own reading experience is to tell people to study alive, not dead. His acquisition method is comprehensive, which not only requires people to study hard, digest and absorb the nutrition in books, but also requires book knowledge to be used by me. Chen Shan, who was in the feudal era, was able to put forward such unique views on the disadvantages of the times, which was very enlightening to us.

9. Lu Jiuyuan: Korean swimming. ●

"Reading and quitting in a hurry will make swimming interesting; If you don't know, you may wish to put it down and need to think urgently. "

This poem is selected from Lu Xiangshan's quotations. Lu Xiangshan, that is, Lu Jiuyuan, is a representative figure of Confucianism in the Song Dynasty. He has many opinions on reading, and the above poem shows one of his reading methods. Regarding his own reading method, he also said: "Now reading is flat, so it's not too late."

What Lu Jiuyuan means is, don't be impatient when reading, and stick to one place in a hurry and freeze there. The more you are eager to understand, the more difficult it may be to understand. Read slowly and carefully. If you don't understand something, you might as well put it in the past for the time being, and then you will gradually understand it after reading the context or rereading it.

Read calmly, swim slowly and savor carefully. Whenever you have a new experience, you will inevitably feel endless interest and happiness. From a psychological point of view, the better the mood when reading, the more helpful it is to understand.

Lu Jiuyuan's swimming method is also in line with the law of reading. People's understanding of problems has a process from easy to difficult. Solve the easy problems first, and eat the rest slowly. There is also a problem of the relationship between local and global. When you read a part, you may not understand it, but when you read the whole book and look at the part from the overall point of view, it is often solved.

Reading with the method of swimming can not only absorb the nutrition of knowledge from books, but also cultivate one's own temperament.

10, Dong Yu: Three Remaining Method. ●

People often say, "Who doesn't want to study? Just too busy, no time. " For modern people, it is indeed a common phenomenon that the pace of life is accelerating and time is tight. However, time has great flexibility. As Lu Xun said, time is like water in a sponge. As long as you squeeze, there is always some. It seems that whether you have time to study depends on whether you can "squeeze".

In ancient China, many scholars were experts in squeezing time. For example, Dong Yu, a famous scholar in Han Dynasty, has a set of methods. He advocates studying in his spare time. Where is the "Three Leftovers"? He said: "Winter has passed, night has passed, and rain has passed." This means that in winter, there is no farm work, which is the free time of the year; It's dark at night and you can't go out for activities. This is the free time of the day. On rainy days, you can't work in the fields, which is also your spare time. Grasping these three kinds of spare time and using it for reading will certainly have results.

Of course, Dong Yu's agricultural society in Han Dynasty was very different from modern society, but his spirit of seizing all his spare time still applies today.

The ancients had the "three surpluses" of the ancients, and today people can also seize the "three surpluses" of today people! As long as the guiding ideology is correct, the specific methods can be flexible and diverse. For example, Ouyang Xiu, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, can also learn from the "three-to-one" reading method. Ouyang Xiu's "Sanli" means "Immediately, on the pillow, in the toilet". He often uses this "senior three" time to read books or write articles, with excellent results.

In fact, there are many methods of "three passes" and "three ascents" than the ancients. For example, a few minutes before the meeting, someone was reading, queuing to buy food, someone was reading, someone was reading in the waiting room, and someone was reciting ancient poems or foreign language words on the bus ... It seems that there is still a lot of time to use, far more than three, four, eight and ten. The key is whether you are willing to squeeze.

1 1, Zhang pu: seven-note method. ●

Zhang Pu, a writer in Ming Dynasty, had poor talent and memory when he was young. Although I am diligent and eager to learn, I forget all the books I have read. He was very upset. He was so angry that he hit his head with his fist and called himself a fool. But he was not discouraged by his poor talent, and he still studied hard and strived for it. And according to their own "stupid" characteristics, came up with a "stupid" way:

Every time you read a new article, copy it neatly on the paper and say it in your mind. Read it out loud after copying, don't save it, just throw it in the stove and burn it. After burning, copy and read it again. Reading an article for seven times in a row is equivalent to reading 14 times, not to mention a thorough understanding, but its main content is always remembered.

It has been very difficult to read and copy books for many years. Zhang Pu's hands were covered with calluses, and he suffered from cold, bleeding and terrible pain in winter, but he persisted and worked hard for many years. He also named his study "Seven Records Study" to encourage himself. Many things happen. After years of hard work, Zhang Pu finally became an influential writer, writing masterpieces such as Tomb Monument of Five People and editing valuable books such as 300 episodes of celebrities in the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties.

Of course, we don't want young friends to learn and imitate Zhang Pu's "Seven Records" method today. In today's highly developed science and culture, knowledge is constantly updated and information is constantly expanding. How much can you "record" just by "seven records"? But we can get some enlightenment from Zhang Pu's "seven records" method: poor people are not afraid, and heaven rewards diligence; Although the fortress is strong, it is not enough to be afraid of. If you attack specially, you can attack and break.

12, Gu: Take Wan Li Road. ●

In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, a strange man appeared on the main roads of Shandong, Hebei, Liaoning and Shanxi. He is in his early fifties, dressed simply, riding two horses and two mules. I rode a horse, and another horse and mule carried a heavy basket full of books.

The horse walks on a smooth road. The man sat on the horse with his eyes half closed and recited. Suddenly there was a "jam" sound behind him. He immediately reined in, turned over and dismounted, took out his book, and reviewed the places he couldn't recite several times. Don't continue riding until you recite the book.

Every time he went to a pass fortress, he went to find a few veterans or retired pawns and asked about geography, history and so on. If what the veterans say is inconsistent with what is recorded in the book, he will go to the field in person, check one by one, and then take notes.

If he meets good books and precious cultural relics on the road, he will buy them; If others don't sell it, he will copy down the full text or borrow it to read it before leaving.

This Mr. Youxue, surnamed Gu and Ming, was a famous patriot in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties and an outstanding scholar and thinker in the history of our country. He once wrote in an article: "From youth to old age, I never give up my books. When you go out, you can use a mule and two horses to tie up the books. Cross the border and block the pavilion barrier, call the veteran to drink in harmony with the Tao, sit and drink, inquire about its customs and measure its area. If you don't agree with what you have heard in your life, you will have no doubt before you issue detailed proof. I have nothing to do at once, so I have to meditate on the classics and annotate them ... ". What is described here is his own study tour.

Ancient Yanwu's reading method of "Reading thousands of books and Walking Wan Li Road" has many advantages: (1) Many wrong records in the book can be corrected through on-the-spot investigation; ⑵ Be able to combine book knowledge with practice and apply what you have learned; (3) You can learn a lot of knowledge that is not available in books; (4) You can find many new books and good books that you haven't read before.

As mentioned at the beginning of this article, Gu started this large-scale study tour only after he was in his fifties. He arrived in Shandong, Shanxi, Hebei, Liaoning, Shaanxi, Gansu and other places, visited famous fortresses, traveled to and from Wan Li, and read more than 10,000 new books. Because Gu's book knowledge and social knowledge are very extensive, he has profound research on astronomy, calendar, mathematics, geography, history, military affairs and the way of governing the country. He wrote dozens of books in his life and enjoyed a high reputation in the academic history of our country.

13, Zheng Banqiao: an accurate and appropriate method. ●

Zheng Banqiao was a famous painter in Qing Dynasty, one of the "Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou", with profound artistic attainments, and his paintings, poems and books were praised as "Three Wonders of Yangzhou".

Zheng Banqiao is also very insightful in reading. He said: "reading should be refined, but rough is refined, and not rough is refined." He also said: "It is not too much to study for perfection, but it is not too much. Only the essence can be transported, and many people just have bad ears. "

Zheng Banqiao's theory of "accuracy" means that you should pay attention to your choice in reading. You can't pick up all the dishes in the basket and look at whatever you catch. Random reading not only wastes time and energy, but also wastes bad books, which is harmful to body and mind.

The selection of books should be "have", and the standard of "have" depends on everyone's actual situation. Our present "dang" is absolutely different from the "dang" in the Zheng Banqiao era, that is to say, the "dang" that each of us needs is also very different.

Generally speaking, we should choose suitable books from two aspects: first, we should consider whether the ideological content is healthy and conducive to moral cultivation and sentiment cultivation; Second, we should consider whether it is helpful to our scientific and cultural study.

Once Zheng Banqiao selected the books that he thought were "valuable", he devoted himself to intensive reading. He studies very hard. "When you are on the boat, immediately, under the quilt, or when you forget your chopsticks when eating, or when you forget what the guest said when you don't listen to him, you all stop the secretary and meditate." Almost fascinating.

Zheng Banqiao also wrote a reading poem: "Reading thousands of books, having no owner in your heart, is like making a fortune, and spending money is quite hard." The "fitness for the Lord" mentioned here refers to one's own opinions and ideas, that is to say, reading should adhere to independent thinking and not be a slave to books. Without this article, even if you choose the right book and study hard, there will be no good results.

14, Mei Wending: four are not afraid of the law. ●

Many people say that China is an ancient civilization and a powerful country in science and technology in history, and the four great inventions are very powerful proof; After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it declined and technology fell behind. Backwardness is a fact, but even in backward times, there are scientists who live up to expectations. Mei Wending, a famous mathematician in Qing Dynasty, is one of them.

Mei Wending was born in Xuancheng County, Anhui Province. He studied astronomy and mathematics with his father and teachers since he was a child, and later became one of the most accomplished mathematicians in the world in the17th century, just like Newton in Britain and Guan Xiaohe in Japan.

How did Mei Wending succeed? Someone summed up his reading methods and thought that his reading had four characteristics, which were quoted as follows:

A person is not afraid of difficulties. When he meets a difficult place, he never circumvents it, and the more difficult it is to delve into it. In order to understand a difficult point, he often forgets to eat and sleep.

Second, I am not afraid of boredom. Most of the math books he reads are old and incomplete books, which look very troublesome. Mei Wending always tried patiently to copy and make a complete book. Sometimes the text of this book is different from that of that book, even if it is only a word difference, he always tries to make it clear.

The third is not afraid of suffering. He studies very hard. A man named Liu Huizu once lived with Mei Wending. He knows Mei Wending's research best. He said, "Every night, it's already Class Four on the Drum Tower, and Mei Wending is still studying under the lamp. It was just dawn when he got up to study again. "

Fourth, not afraid of losing face. When Mei Wending meets a problem that he really can't solve, he will write it down in his notebook. He took this notebook with him when he went out. As long as you meet someone who knows mathematics, you will ask with humility, even young students are not ashamed to ask questions.

Mei Wending's "Four Fears" spirit is worth learning and emulating.

15, Ye Yishen: Take practical measures. ●

The reading methods of "about taking" and "getting" are a small creation of Ye Yisheng, a writer in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. Zhang Erqi, a Qing Dynasty man, recorded in Haoan Gossip:

Leaves are dull to ascend to heaven and have poor memory. He often reads like a fleeting cloud, and forgets after reading it. But he didn't sink in because of his poor talent, but studied hard and came up with an indigenous method of "stupid birds fly first":

Every time I read a book, I will copy down all my favorite chapters, paragraphs or aphorisms, read them carefully for more than ten times, and then stick them on the wall one by one. Every day I copy more than a dozen paragraphs, ranging from six to seven. Whenever he is tired of doing things and needs a rest, he will pace back and forth in the room, reading the pieces of paper on the wall as he walks, three or five times a day, until he knows everything. When all the walls are covered, take down the things that were pasted in the past, put them away, and then paste the new copy of the day to fill in the blanks. In this way, let it be and never stop. At least 3000 wonderful words can be accumulated in one year. After a few years, the "ink" in the stomach is quite considerable.

Because of the rich accumulation, when I write an article, I "write like a god." Later, Ye Yi became a famous writer with profound knowledge, brilliant literary talent and good at traditional Chinese opera. When summing up his reading experience, he said with deep feelings: "You have to pay to gain." It means that when you read a book, you might as well write a little every day like me, instead of skimming it, and get nothing. It seems that you don't get much, but over time, you will actually get a lot!

Zhang Erqi highly praised the reading method of Ye Yisheng's "About Getting Real Harvest" and expressed his views based on his own experience. He said: Although I heard of Ye Yisheng's reading method when I was young, I didn't follow it. When I was old and weak, I couldn't remember a word of what I had read in the past, so I felt embarrassed when I wrote it. I really regret it. He also said: The reason why I recorded Ye Yisheng's method of "taking the agreed things" in "Gossip about Artemisia Temple" is to make "this method have no place in the world" and let it be passed down all the time for those ambitious young people to learn from.
