Ten famous aphorisms about reading are as follows:

1. Read thousands of volumes and write like a god. ——Du Fu

From Du Fu's "Twenty-Two Rhymes for Wei Zuocheng" in the Tang Dynasty, the original sentence: When I was young, I was a guest of the state. I have read thousands of volumes and written like a god. Meaning: When I was a boy, I had long been a guest visiting the royal capital. He has read tens of thousands of books by heart, started writing articles, and is quick to alert, as if he has some sleeves.

2. Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. ——Wang Shao of Liang

From Volume 5 of Liangbian Qiuyu'an Essays by Liang Shaowang of the Qing Dynasty: "Inscription on Glasses": Read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, and you will be helped by others. ". Here, traveling thousands of miles and reading are complementary. Reading is static, while traveling is dynamic. The knowledge in books is limited, and only the eyes, ears and knowledge of traveling can make up for it.

"Reading thousands of books" means that one should comprehensively absorb book knowledge so that one has profound and solid cultural qualities; "traveling thousands of miles" means that one cannot simply indulge in books, but must also extensively understand, understand and Get in touch with society and apply book knowledge to social practice.

3. Having read thousands of books without having the right idea is like a man who suddenly got rich and has a hard time spending money. ——Zheng Banqiao

The sentence comes from Zheng Banqiao in the Qing Dynasty, "Gift to the Imperial Scholars and the Honorable Marquis Jiafan's Di", which means that he reads a lot but fails to grasp the key points, just like the nouveau riche who are worried about spending money. When reading, you must insist on independent thinking, and you must not follow what others say, but you must apply what you have learned.

4. If you don’t accumulate steps, you can’t reach a thousand miles; if you don’t accumulate small streams, you can’t become a river. ——Xun Kuang

The sentence comes from the "Encouragement to Learning" written by Xun Kuang, a thinker and educator in the late Warring States Period. Original sentence: Therefore, if you don’t accumulate steps, you can’t reach a thousand miles; if you don’t accumulate small streams, you can’t reach a river or sea. A horse can't take ten steps with one leap; a horse can ride ten times without giving up its merits. If you persevere, the rotten wood will not be broken; if you persevere, the metal and stone can be carved.

It means that without accumulating one and a half steps, there is no way to reach a thousand miles; without accumulating small flows, there is no way to form rivers and seas. For example, a thousand-mile horse cannot reach ten steps in one jump. The inferior horse works hard for ten consecutive days. The reason for its final success is its unremitting efforts. If you stop carving wood, the rotten wood will not be broken. If you keep carving, you can carve even hard things like metal and stone successfully.
