The following are some short quotes for primary school students about reading:

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 hundreds of thousands of books 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, and when he writes articles, he writes quickly as if he has a stamina.

2. Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. ——Liang Shaoren

From the Qing Dynasty Liang Shaoren's "Essays of Liangbian Qiuyu'an" Volume 5: ""Glasses Inscription": Read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, if someone shines from me or others, I will get their help." 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.

3. Having read tens of thousands of books without having a suitable plan in mind 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. ——Xunzi

This sentence comes from the "Encouraging 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, but it's hard to give up. If you persevere, the rotten wood will not be broken; if you persevere, the metal and stone can be carved.
