1 Being good at reading is the foundation and key to acquiring knowledge and skills through reading. There are many famous sayings about reading, but it should be noted that "good reading requires no deep understanding" is not a good word for middle school students. We should take it as Tao Yuanming's personal extreme opinion. 2 The four sentences "Good Reading" are about reading. There have always been very different interpretations of "not asking for a thorough understanding". In fact, it only refers to the "understanding" below. This means that reading does not require an in-depth understanding of the book's system, but only focuses on understanding one's own heart and being comfortable with it, that is, looking for ideological resonance and emotional sustenance. Good reading does not require a deep understanding of the meaning: I like reading, but don’t put too much effort into explaining the words! In modern Chinese, "not seeking a thorough understanding" means only seeking a general understanding, not a deep understanding. If we understand it this way here, it would be a bit out of context and biased. Just think, as a literary master, Tao Yuanming is not just "not asking for deep explanations". To analyze the meaning of a sentence, we must place it in a specific language environment. Therefore, we can only understand its true meaning by putting it back into the original text, connecting it with the following content, and connecting it. The following sentence is: "Whenever I have an understanding, I am so happy that I forget to eat." It means: (when reading), as soon as I have an understanding, I am so happy that I forget to eat and sleep. It is not difficult to understand that what Tao Yuanming valued in reading was perception. We can think that the meaning of "good at reading, not asking for deep explanations" should mean that Tao Yuanming likes reading, but does not seek to understand the words and sentences (that is, he does not stick to the interpretation of the words and sentences), but focuses on understanding. There are many people in later generations who "do not seek a deeper understanding" and take this sentence out of context and use this sentence as a fig leaf to cover up their true ignorance.
