Spring has arrived.
Spring is not a reading day. There are too many temptations in spring: the rain on the street is as moist as crisp, the grass color is close but there is none; a few early warblers compete to warm the trees, and whose new swallows peck at the spring mud. In the spring, you should go hiking and go hiking. Of course, the most important thing is to fall in love. Even the little animals know that spring is the season of love. Therefore, even if you want to read books in the spring, you should only read love letters.
However, I can't read books in the spring, can I read them at other times? Also unreadable. Spring is not a reading day, the summer is hot and sleepy, there are mosquitoes in autumn and snow in winter, and it is good to pack up books for the New Year. No reading season.
Reading is not necessarily useful.
"There is a house of gold in the book" Yunyun, but it is only a bunch of poor acid shows that make up lies from deceiving people. Poor and sour talents always have to make up such nonsense to fool themselves, otherwise their books will not be able to read.
Of course, there are very few people who have developed by reading books, but this does not prove that reading is useful. Because once they have been promoted to an official and become rich, the books they have read before are shelved. Visible or useless.
So why do we still have to read?
Or rather, what is the reason for reading?
I don't know why others are. In myself, it was because I was afraid.
A person's childhood is inevitably accompanied by fear. If he had ever had the experience of being alone in the dark, it would have been even more memorable.
I remember when I was a child, the most disliked or most feared thing was that my mother would not come home at night. So, as soon as the sun went down, I would stand under the street lamp and wait for my mother. At that time, I was engaged in a "political movement", and although my mother was only a small clerk, she could not leave work on time, so I often stopped at the street lamp for a few hours. My third aunt, who was in charge of my care at the time, was still a middle school student. There was nothing she could do about me as a little boy, and she couldn't coax me back until she later learned to tell stories.
Storytelling is probably the oldest way for humans to overcome fear.
Fear is an indelible ancient memory of mankind. Just as a baby's first reaction to landing on the ground is to cry, a person's first experience of the world is also fear. For the fledgling human beings, the world is beautiful and even more terrifying. Although it has warm sunshine, gentle wind and rain, and delicious wild game, it also has wolf worms, tigers and leopards, fierce birds and beasts, and water monsters and forest demons. Especially at night, it becomes vicious and terrifying, sinister and cruel, and the ghost cries wolf. Naked and dispossessed, humans hid in caves, snuggled up to each other by the fire, not knowing when the long night would end.
That's when the concept of the Long Night came into being, right? If that night was beautiful, people would only feel that "the spring supper is short" and would not say that the long night was difficult to understand. What a dream!
At this point, the older people will probably tell stories.
Poetry is a lullaby when we are sad, and stories are also a sedative in our fears.
Everyone knows that the most stories people tell are at night, and the most attractive of the stories at night is the ghost story (horror story). Listening to a person tell a ghost story in the dark is a thrilling but extremely thrilling experience. Almost no one can resist the irresistible temptation. Towards the wild outer world, but also towards the fragile inner world.
As soon as the story begins, it can't stop. So there are other stories: magical stories, beautiful stories, tragic stories, sentimental stories. Of course, there are still horror stories.
Later, there were books. There are storytelling books, and there are books that don't tell stories.
No one is stupid enough to equate books with stories, but in my personal experience, the hobby of reading mostly begins with listening to stories.
If a person loves to listen to stories since he was a child, then he will most likely love to read when he grows up. I say special because there are almost no children who don't like to listen to stories, but there is still a difference between special love and general like. A child who loves to listen to stories will not be satisfied with listening to adults, and he will also find ways to find stories to listen to himself.
Who is the most storyteller?
It's a book.
As a result, he will develop the habit of reading and become a reader. If he loves not only to hear stories, but also to tell stories, then he may also become a writer, a person who writes books.
I can now be considered a book reader or even a book writer. But I still love to hear stories, especially ghost stories.
My favorite book is detective fiction, and what I will never forget after reading it is two horror stories told by two British authors: "The Hound of baskerville" and "The Invisible Man". I remember that when I was in middle school, after reading "The Invisible Man" one night, I didn't dare to go out of the door and go to the toilet, because I didn't know if the invisible man was standing in the doorway.
It was also at that moment that I suddenly understood that the most terrible thing in the world was not the visible thing, but the invisible thing. The advantage of books is that they can turn the invisible into the visible. Since then, whenever darkness surrounds fear, I read books. Moreover, it was because of reading that I also became fond of being alone, even if the north wind whistled outside the window and it was pitch black. I'm no longer the little boy waiting for my mom to come home under the streetlights, and I don't care if there are a lot of people with me. Of course, I don't have to read storybooks.
However, this does not seem to be the words spoken in the spring.
In fact, spring is the day of reading. Even if it is haunted on a spring night, most of the people who Shi Shiran come to visit are handsome and cool male ghosts or beautiful female ghosts, what are you afraid of!
