The ancients talked about reading, which is the editor-in-chief of three speeches about ancient people's reading. This paper summarizes the ancient people's reading methods from three documents: The Analects of Confucius, The Rules of Training and Learning, and The Complete Works of Zeng Wenzheng. Below, I will give you a brief introduction to the translation of "The ancients talked about reading".
First, the original text of "The ancients talked about reading"
The Analects of Confucius
is sensitive and eager to learn, and is not ashamed to ask questions.
knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is also.
knowing silently, never tire of learning, never tire of teaching.
Zhu Xi
Yu Chang said: There are three ways to read, that is, heart, eyes and mouth. If the heart is not here, the eyes will not look carefully, and the mind will not be single-minded, but will only read aloud, and it will never be remembered, nor will it last long. Of the three, the heart is the most urgent. Now that the heart is here, won't the eyes be there?
Zeng Guofan
When a scholar studies, he must be ambitious first, knowledgeable second and persistent third. If you are ambitious, you will never be willing to be dirty; If you have knowledge, you will know that knowledge is endless, and you dare not be self-sufficient. For example, Hebo's view of the sea, like a well frog's glimpse of the sky, is also ignorant; Nothing is impossible if there is perseverance. These three are indispensable.
Second, the translation of "The ancients talked about reading"
The first translation: People who are intelligent and eager to learn are not ashamed to ask 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 don't feel satisfied with your study and you don't know how tired you are.
the second translation: I once said: reading pays attention to "three", that is, when reading, you should concentrate, watch carefully and read aloud. If the mind is not in the book, then the eyes will not look carefully; Since the mind and eyes are not focused and unified, but just read casually, they will not remember, and even if they do, they will not remember for a long time. Of these three, the heart is the most important. If the mind is concentrated, will the eyes and mouth be distracted?
The third translation: Scholars should have ambition first, knowledge second and perseverance third. If you have ambition, you will never be willing to be inferior; If you are knowledgeable, you will know that there is no end to learning, and you will not be satisfied with yourself if you don't have a little experience. For example, Hebo looks at the sea and the frog at the bottom of the well looks at the sky, which is all ignorant; With perseverance, there is bound to be nothing impossible. Aspiring, knowledgeable and persistent are indispensable.
In a word, the above are the original text and translated text of "The ancients talked about reading". I hope I can help you.
