Gorky, a world writer, has a deep affection for books and loves them like life. Once, his room caught fire. The first thing he picked up was a book, and nothing else was considered. He almost burned to death to save the book. He said: "Books enlighten my wisdom and soul and help me stand up in the muddy pond. If it weren't for books, I would sink in this muddy pond, and I would be drowned by stupidity and filth. "

Reading and writing articles

There are three things that are most important to the ancients, namely, the so-called "three stands": establishing morality, making contributions and making statements. Presentation is to make a speech and write a paper. A famous speech recording is a quotation. In a broad sense, it can also be considered as an essay. After all, to make a statement is to make a paper. No one can be careless that "the article is a national event." If the article is promoted to this height, even those who see through the sinister officialdom and live in seclusion dare not ignore its role, and some even regard writing as their lifelong pursuit. The trouble of a scholar is that his reputation is ruined and his name is not justified. There are only two ways to make yourself famous, one is to spread it for others and the other is to promote it for yourself. There are two ways to promote yourself, one is to write articles to brag about yourself, and the other is to write articles to shine for the future. The former is not easy to recognize, and the cowhide is easy to blow and useless; The latter is the dream of all scholars. The so-called famous mountain cause has caused many people to die; Modern people's writing concept is highly utilitarian. As long as you are perfunctory in your study, you will soon be able to write a work, brag and gain a reputation for being knowledgeable. As for whether the goods are good or bad, no one will pay attention, so the author pretends to be a great scholar, and by the way, he can recruit doctoral students and post-doctoral students to guide younger people. The ancients regarded learning and articles as their own cause, and their persistent and serious attitude is beyond today's reach. That is, the basic skills before reading, studying and writing articles are not easy for people nowadays. Confucius said, "It's fun to learn and learn from the times!" It's about the joy of learning. Xunzi's "exhortation to learn" praised the persistent and gradual style of study. The famous couplet of Lindong, party member and Gu Xiancheng in the Ming Dynasty: "The sound of wind and rain is the sound of reading, and the sound is heard; Everyone cares about family affairs, state affairs and the world, and appreciates reading as a kind of enjoyment. That kind of taste is not what ordinary people can understand. Sixteen Views on Reading is a good article about reading written by Chen Jiru, a native of Huating in Ming Dynasty. Among them, there is a cloud: "Ni Wenjie said,' pines, streams, mountain birds, night insects, cranes, harps, chess pieces, raindrops, snow showers, tea frying are the clearest, and the sound of reading is the most. I am very happy to hear the voice of others reading, and I am even happier to hear the voice of children reading. "go again:' the interests of the world are often half. People who have all the benefits but no disadvantages, but books don't ask rich and poor, old and young, reading a book has advantages, and reading more and more books a day, so there are all the benefits and no disadvantages. "The reader thinks this is an opinion." Although times have changed, this kind of mind is not absolutely absent in today's world, but it is far less than in ancient times. In the era of market economy, everyone just wants to have plenty of food and clothing and run towards a well-off life, and little attention is paid to reading and being a man, let alone purely aesthetic reading, learning and writing. As mentioned above, many ancient people are bookworms. Be an idiot, read and study, their Excellence and happiness are expected by ordinary people! ?

In fact, there is no distinction between beauty, evil, goodness and ugliness in writing and reading, that is, the nature of Tibetan famous mountain articles and rambling articles is the same: they are both making an issue; Scholars read books, some read the Confucian Four Books and Five Classics, and some read Neijia Classics, with different contents and the same nature: they all read books. It's just that the scholars themselves can make no distinction, but they must not care about the differences of others, so as not to cause trouble. For example, during the Cultural Revolution, people were forbidden to read ancient books, that is, the so-called four olds, that is, as now, there are also ancient books that are not allowed to read, such as Jin Ping Mei. This is all because the content is not "healthy". I am afraid that people will follow the trend of reading, poison themselves and even hinder others, even the country. There were many forbidden books in ancient times, and many banned books in Qing Dynasty. As for the fuss, the content is more important. If you are not careful, your property may be seized, which will lead to genocide. That's really "closed door at home, disaster from the sky." How can a scholar not be afraid! Therefore, from ancient times to the present, reading and writing are elegant tools for people's careers or games and children's progress, and they can all be used as weapons for career advancement, but the choice of content is serious, strict and even severe. It can be profitable or troublesome, and the only way to avoid it is not to touch the times. As for what is the goal of reading and writing, be an official, do business, study or be a nerd, you can go with him!

Ancient celebrities read stories.

He was born in a peasant family, and his grandfather and father were farmers for generations. To Kuang Heng, but I like reading. When he was young, his family was poor. He makes a living as an employee during the day and only has time to study at night. But the family is too poor to light candles. The lights and candles next door are on, but they can't shine. Kuang Heng came up with an idea. He chiseled a hole in the wall next door and "stole" a little light from it to let the light from next door shine in. He is reading with a book in his hand, reflecting the light in front of the hole.

2. There was a man named Sun Jing in Han Dynasty, who was diligent and studious since childhood. He studies late into the night every night. In order to avoid being sleepy, he tied his hair with one end of the rope and tied it to the beam. During the Warring States Period, there was a man named Su Qin who wanted to do something big, so he studied hard. Whenever he studies late into the night, he always takes a nap. So, when he was taking a nap, he stabbed his thigh with an awl and lifted his spirits. After the story of Sun Jing and Su Qin was moved,

3. Che Yin, a native of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was studious when he was young. He helps adults during the day and studies hard at night. But because the family is poor, they often have no money to buy oil lamps or read books. He was very upset about it.

One summer night, Che Yin sat in the yard silently recalling the contents of the book he had read, and suddenly found many fireflies flashing in the air in the yard. He suddenly felt that if these fireflies were gathered together, wouldn't they be able to read by their light? So he began to catch fireflies, caught more than a dozen, put them in white gauze sewing pockets and hung them on the desk. From then on, he studied hard by fluorescence every day.

Mr Ouyang xiu's father died when he was four years old. His family is poor and has no money to study. The wife wrote on the beach with a reed pole and taught him to write. And taught him to read many ancient chapters. When I am old and have no books to read at home, I go to a nearby reader's house to borrow books, and sometimes I copy them. In this way, day and night, sleepless, just concentrate on reading. Poems and essays written since childhood are written at the level of adults, so high.

5. During the Yuan Dynasty in China, there was a man named Song Lian who loved reading. Because of his poor family, he had to borrow books for exhibition. As he read more and more books, Song Lian felt he needed the guidance of his teacher. So he pawned his clothes and went to the city to be admitted to the school auditorium. Unexpectedly, this academic officer has a strange temper. After many twists and turns, Song Lian finally studied hard and became a talented person.

6: Fan Zhongyan died at the age of two. Mother is poor and has no one to rely on. She remarried to Zhujiajian Island's home in Changshan. (Fan Zhongyan) When he grew up, he knew his life experience, said goodbye to his mother with tears, and left his hometown to study at Du Nan Academy in Yingtianfu. He studies hard during the day and studies late at night. In five years, I never took off my clothes and went to bed. Sometimes I feel sleepy at night and often pour water on my face. (Fan Zhongyan) I often study hard during the day and eat nothing until the sun sets. In this way, he understood the gist of the Six Classics, and later made an ambition to benefit the world.
