Reading Ten Thousand Volumes of Books is a famous saying written by Dong Qichang of the Ming Dynasty. It comes from "Painting Purpose": "The six methods of a painter are: 'Vivid Qi Yun'. 'Qi Yun' cannot be learned. You know it in this life, and it is naturally given by God. However, There is also a place to learn, read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, get rid of the dust in your mind, set up a camp in the hills and valleys, and write down the mountains and rivers at will."
Originally refers to: the emperor's examination papers, reading ten thousand volumes of books means: studying in order to go to Beijing to take the exam and get the title on the gold list. Traveling thousands of miles means: Entering the official career and serving the emperor. It is a metaphor that you should study hard to make your talents better than others and let what you have learned be reflected in life. At the same time, you should increase your knowledge, combine theory with practice, and apply what you have learned. Let’s use an analogy to the relationship between “reading” and “traveling”: “Reading thousands of books” is like seeing the golden mountain of knowledge and ability through a window. But if you want to truly get the golden mountain of knowledge and ability, you have to go out.” Travel thousands of miles."
