Explanation of the famous saying:

Su Shi's "Poetry to Farewell An Chun's Fall" of the Song Dynasty.

Old books: Old books refer to books written by ancients. Zi: You, the honorific title of a man. The general meaning of these two sentences is: The books of the ancients are not content to be read hundreds of times. If you read them carefully and think deeply, you will naturally understand the essence of the ancient books.

This is a famous saying about the method of reading. When An Auchun failed in the imperial examination, Su Shi wrote this poem to teach him how to read. From a formal point of view, this article talks about reading ancient books. In fact, the principle of reading is the same regardless of modern times. "Read a book a hundred times, and its meaning will become apparent to you." This has always been the case. The uniqueness of Su Shi's sentence is that on the basis of "reading", he also emphasized the important role of "thinking". Only with the "thinking" side can the requirements of reading be truly realized.
