Song Dynasty poet Huang Shanshangu has a famous saying: If you don’t read for three days, you will feel that the language is tasteless and the appearance is disgusting.
Lin Yutang interpreted this sentence as saying that if you don't study for three days, others will think that your language is tasteless and your appearance is disgusting. A person who does not like to read is often boring and therefore disliked.
Zhou Guoping explained that if he did not study for three days, he would feel ashamed of himself, ashamed to speak to others, and feel ashamed to see others.
I agree with the latter. If you don’t study for three days, you will feel ashamed, your face will be dull, and your eyes will be dull.
A few days ago there was haze, then strong winds, and the temperature dropped sharply. The weather was caught off guard, and small people will always be injured, so I naturally caught a cold... I wanted to live in isolation, but when I thought of having to pay Thesis, the course I missed last time when I went home, I gave up without hesitation.
So I read behind closed doors.

A person’s reading history is the history of his or her spiritual development. This is what my master said, and I have always believed it to be the most truthful thing.
Studying in the library brings unexpected surprises. I read my master's articles in the library, which were included in a collection of essays. The university I studied in can barely be considered a first-class university in China, at least it is ranked as a double first-class university. The library is the best building in the university. Our school library is known as the largest financial library in Asia. I don’t know whether it lives up to its name. However, it is clear that there are very few literature books in the library. After all, there are specialties in the academic field, and we are not focusing on literature. This makes me somewhat dissatisfied. However, in such a library with very few literary books, I can actually read my teacher's articles, which is really surprising.
The article is called "Travel Narratives of Romantic Encounters". It is a blog written by my master, which was included in a collection of essays called "I Like This World to Be Gentle". This collection includes the works of many well-known writers, such as Zhu Ziqing, Bi Shumin, Tie Ning, Jia Pingwa, and Zhou Guoping. Putting Master's articles together with Li Yinhe's articles, it can be said that Master became famous and started a family, at least. Here he has joined the ranks of everyone. I flipped through it and found his article in another book. I almost screamed in surprise.
He reminds me of the kind of person Lao Luo said, "To see a person is not to see who he eventually becomes, but who he is. For example, Han Han did not become famous at the time, and later did not make any money. You have a lot of money, you don’t have that many girlfriends, etc. But what if you pass by that small town on the outskirts of Shanghai and meet an unknown young man named Han Han? If you are lucky enough to sit down and chat with him. Chatting, you will still feel that this is a very awesome person. ”
It is a joy to live in this world with such a person, mine. Master is such a person.
Some people are willing to be the lackeys of the Qingteng sect, and some are willing to be the lackeys of the Muxin sect, so it is not an exaggeration for me to say that I am willing to be the lackeys of the Bingjian sect. The old gangster Wang Shuo once said: "If there is an order that everyone in the country must chase stars, I will chase Acheng." I don't chase Acheng, I chase Li Bingjian.
After reading the article, I quickly went to the blog to check it out. I felt as if I had eaten the eggs and expressed condolences to the hens. Unfortunately, Master has closed his blog, probably because too many people are bothering him.

Yu Minhong’s book "Looking for Hope in Despair". I rarely read inspirational books, and I don’t like chicken soup. Those books teach people how to be successful, and teach people to seek fame, status, power, etc. They are very utilitarian and do not express spirituality, which means they are not good and I don’t like them, so I don’t read them.
The reason why I found Yu’s book is that I want to study his educational thoughts, or I want to see what kind of astute brain can make a great educational cause, because I have also devoted myself to it in the past two years. in education. As he says in his book, he is a "stupid man", but I strongly agree with some of his views, such as insisting on reading and studying. I didn't learn anything about how to be successful, but the passage about reading in this book made me applaud.
“Reading is like falling in love, it requires an environment. I rarely read on the computer. Reading on the computer is like falling in love with a robot, without a warm feeling.
Reading must have the smell of a book, the shape of the book, and the personality of the book. Depending on the content of the book, you also need to choose different places and times to read. Ancient people had to wash their hands and burn incense when reading, and sometimes they even had to be accompanied by beautiful women. We can't achieve this state now, but we can still create some small environments.
To read ancient Chinese, you should light a candle late at night, make a cup of tea, and read slowly word by word. Read and savor slowly; it is best to read poetry on a rainy day, listening to the sound of rain outside the window, gently reading the poem and blending it into the rain, thinking about the poet's tragic fate, reading the dream in the poem, and can't help but feel sad. Come and cry loudly; when reading novels, you also need to choose different locations, in the wild or by a lake or at the foot of a mountain, and immerse yourself in the plot of the novel. Great sorrows and great joys are echoed by mountains and rivers, which is not a pleasure; reading philosophy books should Go to a busy city and think about the reason for existence and the meaning of birth in a crowded place. Even if you can't think of the reason, there will be no problem, because as soon as you look up, you will see the bustling world."
Si Yan. Very good.
You should be completely immersed in reading, as if you are a character in the book. You can even have an illusion after reading an opinion, insisting that the author has plagiarized your ideas, and then become indignant, then you can say Your reading skills are perfect.

There are many people in this world who do not shy away from mediocrity, but there are very few elite geniuses. We ordinary people represent mediocrity, and the distance between mediocrity and elites can be described as the tortoise and the hare.
We were originally turtles who were tied to a tree and took sleeping pills; they were originally rabbits who took stimulants and wore roller skates. No matter how fast he ran, he couldn't see his back clearly.
I thought that this distance could be eliminated by reading. Because there are no elites who don’t study. One of my elite senior students told me that if you don’t study for a day, you will feel panic and uneasiness.
Zhou Guoping has a famous saying, "The interesting things in the world, including poetry, wine, philosophy, and love, are often useless. Recite useless poems, get drunk with useless wine, read useless books, and remember useless feelings. , In the end, he became a useless person, but he lived a meaningful life because of it.”
In other words, even if you read useless books, you can become interesting because of it.
