A man with a heart lamp speaks for himself —— Some thoughts on reading Bacon's Essays \x0d Francis Bacon was a famous British thinker, politician and empiricist philosopher in17th century. Bacon Essays is a book I bought from Beitu a few years ago. After reading it, I put it on the shelf. When I took it out again this winter vacation, I found it strange to me after leaving. As the saying goes, "good books are never tired." My biggest gain this Spring Festival is to reread Bacon's essays, and make 4 1 notes on new insights and new experiences ... \x0d Bacon's essays contain 56 essays, with clear topics, straight to the point, and people can see at a glance. Readers can read through or choose chapters according to their own interests, so that they can choose their own similar topics. There are no difficult words, but the content is unique. Everyone's self-confidence is beyond our comprehension, and we can only expect it. \x0d On Bacon was written by Francis Bacon, a famous British thinker, politician and empiricist in the 7th century. This book is divided into On Knowledge, On Beauty, On Kindness, On Truth and so on. Bacon said: "Humanity is like wild flowers and weeds, and learning is like pruning and transplanting." It can be seen that learning can change people's destiny and is very important in our life. Bacon said in "On Friendship": "If you tell a friend happiness, you will get two happiness; And if you pour out your sadness to a friend, you will be divided into half of your sadness. " It can be seen that friends are indispensable roles around us and can add color to our lives. \x0d Among these dozens of essays, On Beauty impressed me the most. It is a classic about beauty, with concise language, profound connotation and rich philosophy. "This article focuses on how people should treat external beauty and internal beauty. No one in the world is perfect, so don't complain about their external defects. Only inner beauty is eternal beauty. Virtue is more important than beauty. Only by combining beautiful appearance with beautiful virtue can beauty really shine. There is a saying in the article: "Formal beauty is better than color beauty, and elegant manners are better than formal beauty. "Form is a kind of beauty. Body shape and color refer to the five senses, mainly the five senses, not the local ones. The beauty of behavior refers to the gesture, which is acquired, the reflection of inner beauty and the highest of the three. Nowadays, some people only pay attention to the beauty of appearance and ignore the beauty of inner beauty. Although they are beautiful, they are not worthy of praise because they are not beautiful, so a dignified, serious, virtuous and not luxurious person is admirable. X0d miscellaneous feeling is a kind of prose, which is classified as prose. The theme of literary works is three pillars, prose, poetry and novel. Essays are rising stars, and their rise and fall are related to the times. Bacon's essays are subdivided according to the current situation of China literature and should be classified as miscellaneous feelings. First of all, Bacon's essays are short and lively. Secondly, the content of the article is very thoughtful; In addition, the skills used in the article, focusing on narration and discussion, are the most prominent features of prose. Therefore, readers who like prose and rational and thoughtful articles can read Bacon's prose, and those who like to write prose (or so-called essayists) can read Bacon's prose, which is conducive to writing. \x0d deserves special mention. Bacon's quotations and examples have a long history, but there are still many catchy aphorisms and well-known stories. For example, Epicurus' famous saying "Life is just a big stage" quoted by him in "On Love" has become a familiar colloquial phrase. He also quoted stories from Aesop's Fables many times. In On Nature, he cited "a cat quietly turned into a beautiful young woman" to prove that a leopard cannot change its spots. But when I saw a mouse, I couldn't help jumping on it. However, due to the cultural differences between China and the West, Bacon's prose also contains a large number of quotations and examples from the Bible. Metaphor is the most prominent feature of Bacon's Miscellaneous Feeling. Reasoning is easy to be boring and obscure, and vivid metaphor can just solve this problem, so that readers can read on and understand the profound content of the article. Almost every "rational" viewpoint has a metaphor behind it, which is novel in angle and ingenious in conception, making people unforgettable. In "On Youth and Old Age", he compared the blindness and persistence of young people-"That kind of practice is like a young pony who doesn't know when to stop and when to turn". Bacon's mastery of language skills is so vivid that I think you can take Bacon's prose as a model. \x0d Bacon is a famous thinker, with wise articles and smart writing style. As Goethe quoted in the preface of Bacon's Essays, "Reading a good book is like meeting an outstanding person face to face". Reading Bacon's prose can make people understand and have wisdom. Bacon is also a famous empiricist philosopher. There are many life experiences in Bacon's essays. From the thoughts of ordinary people, there is an analysis of human nature, which is suitable for reading by a wide range of people. No matter what status readers are, they can find the shadow that makes them feel sorry and alert themselves. \x0d There are lights on the road, which can avoid the darkness in front of you, and there are lights in your heart, so people can understand themselves all their lives. Bacon's essay "On Reading" said: Some books only need to be tasted, some books can be swallowed, and only a few books can be chewed carefully and tasted slowly. Being a "heart lamp" is a metaphor. \x0d finally summed up the ten-point philosophy of life \x0d 1. Don't let others do what you can. Learn to think when you encounter problems. Look at the overall situation and broaden your thinking. Learn to listen and understand each other's needs. Independent \x0d 6. Decide the right strategy.
