Those who have no doubts in reading must be taught to have doubts. Those who have doubts must have no doubts. Only here can they make progress. ——

Zhu Xi

There is no other way to study, but to be diligent and open-minded, and to read it carefully over and over again, you will have merit. ——

Last night the spring water grew on the riverside, and the huge ship was washed away by the water. It was always in vain to push forward, but today it was free in the middle of the river. ——

Zhu Xi

Ask where the canal can be so clear, because there is a source of living water. ——

Zhu Xi

There are three ways to read, namely, the heart, the eyes, and the mouth. If the heart is not here, the eyes will not be careful, and the mind will not be focused, but will only read. You must not memorize it if you read it in a leisurely manner, even if it lasts for a long time. Among the three times, the heart is the most anxious. Once the heart is there, the eyes and mouth will not care. ——
