In the two years of graduate school, I felt that the noise of the outside world was much less, and while reducing the entertainment time, I slowly increased my reading time and gained more from it. I like to go to the library's reading room on Tuesday afternoons to find some interesting and good books, sit quietly in a chair and enjoy the time of wandering the world of books alone. I never set limits on my reading, and the books I dabble in are diverse.
By reading books in my field of expertise, I learned about the hottest research directions in my discipline and learned the latest research results, which was of great help to me in writing course papers and graduation theses. Through reading extracurricular books, I saw different lives and experienced the various changes in the world, prompting my heart to become rich and delicate, and constantly improving myself.

For me, reading is not a means that must be done for some purpose, such as to get a good score, or to find a good job later. Reading itself is the end, or rather, reading itself forms part of what I think of as an ideal way of life. Just like someone loves fitness, I love to read, and it's not about acquiring specific, utilitarian knowledge or skills.
Thinking about it, reading is more like a more playable and fun game for me... It allows me to take a break from the monotony of everyday life. In reading, I can truly feel that I am not just a tool of reason, but exist as a person.

"Teacher, can you recommend a few professional books for me?" The first time I asked my supervisor Professor Hu Jihua for advice, I thought that the tutor would make a list of theoretical books, empty my brain, and prepare to write down the teacher's explanation. As a result, Teacher Hu smiled indifferently, "Cherish this time and read the books you like to read." ”
With the teacher's instructions, reading the books that interest you, the intense and boring graduate study life has a lot of fun. The library is filled with books, and any one of them is a chance encounter, and every reading is a dialogue with a noble soul. When words pass before your eyes, pages cross your fingertips, time takes away life, words record the spirit, and there is always the next interesting soul waiting to meet you unexpectedly.

During my time in graduate school, I really enjoyed the pleasure of reading. From Plato and Nietzsche to Benjamin; from Gu Kaizhi and Guo Xi to Lin Fengmian; from Shakespeare and Tolstoy to Lu Xun and Mo Yan... In their writings, I saw different ways of looking at the world, felt the prosperity and development of different cultures, understood the spirit of each master for the truth, continuous exploration for mankind, reform and innovation, and understood the charm of Chinese culture of "harmony and difference". All of this has made me think new about life and have a new passion for life.
Reading is different from film, television, animation, it is not passive acceptance, surrounded by other things, but in the reading with the author to communicate, take the initiative to create a world of their own, a free and poetic world, an inclusive and unique world. Reading books – gives me more confidence and expectations for the future.

I studied ancient literature, and reading books should be a matter of duty. On the one hand, through reading the academic works of today's people, in order to expand their horizons and experience the logic of their predecessors when they were thinking about problems; on the other hand, through reading ancient books and documents, they cultivate their own aesthetic perception and form their own judgments.
Although it has been nearly two years since I entered school, to achieve accurate "deviation from the scriptures and discernment", I still can't do it with my heart' yearning, and sometimes I spend a lot of effort because of the understanding of a certain piece of historical materials or even a certain word, but there is no other way, and the attitude of rushing to achieve quick success is not allowed, and I can only continue to sit on the "cold bench" and read hard. To be clear, "suffering" here refers to the external state, and my heart is happy and satisfied, to borrow the words of Mr. Luo Zongqiang: "The green lantern stall book is really an indescribable happiness." ”

During my time reading, I gained four realizations. The first is to insist on reading every day, only by immersing yourself in reading can you forget your outward demands, go to the heart to settle down, and recognize and face the real self. The second is to not only carefully read the classic theoretical books, build a good context and framework for related subjects, but also read the books that interest you extensively, and constantly form a connection with your own central disciplines to enrich the knowledge system. The third is to do a good job of sorting out and reviewing, after reading, we must often review one of the important views or points of interest, consciously write down their own feelings and understandings, and form a virtuous circle of reading. Finally, I think I need to read some philosophical books, think about my interactions with myself, with others, and with the world, and be more determined to follow my own path.

The most comfortable stage of reading is when I am fourteen or fifteen years old. When the summer receded slightly, he read under the rattan in the courtyard, all by virtue of the good wind and good moon; at about 6:40 in September, the penultimate row of the classroom could still smell the wet grass and wood fragrance in the air by the window, and hold a bunch of "Quan Tang Poems" to read by the window. Open the Li Bai scroll, the first song is "Ancient Wind". "Daya has not done it for a long time, but who is Chen in my decline?" I was amazed.
Man has no fetish and cannot be intercourse. Reading, to put it bluntly, is only one of many hobbies, not unusual. Not to decorate the façade, nor to be elegant, to be able to do something for a long time, just because it is interesting. Self-indulgent, enough. For the matter of reading, there is no need to praise, let alone prejudice. It seems that people who love to read have more or less encountered similar evaluations, such as "six sutras note me", and they spend their days and nights in quiet corners when others are socializing. At this time, shi ran can say the last old Du poem: The poet is my family affair.

What is reading? Once upon a time I told myself that "everything is inferior, only reading is high", because reading can be successful, but I have found more and more that this is not the case. Reading is not about success, reading is about living better.
Reading broadened my horizons, pulling any recorded time and space into my short life, allowing me to feel how warm humanities are, how life is full of rivers, and how ordinary fireworks rise. And in the process of constantly opening up the boundaries of vision, I feel that I am more tolerant, absorbing good qualities, bravery, integrity, sincerity and courage... As it is said in "No Questions Asked", these qualities are more scarce and precious than perfection, and these preciousnesses all begin with the first time I open the brilliant title page!

"If there is heaven, it should be like a library." For me, reading is a habit. For 365 days, at least 300 days, I picked up a book out of habit. For the bibliography, I dabbled in a wide range of things, reading and thinking out of thin air.
"Reading is a refuge to carry with you." The benefits of reading are many, not utilitarian, and even the most poetic considerations should not be overlooked. I think reading books can help us understand the circumstances in which we live and annotate the past that laid the foundation for contemporary realities. This will enable us to live in this land more rationally and happily.

I would like to pay tribute to you amway to our school library. The librarian is conscientious and responsible, carefully checks everyone's reservation code, and reminds students to wear masks. If there is a book that cannot be found, the administrator teacher will also help find it. There are many kinds of books, especially foreign books, like a treasure trove. When I studied in the library, my biggest concern was that I was afraid of disturbing other students who were reading books or studying for myself. When you come to the library, you should also pay attention to controlling the volume and not affecting other students. Hope we meet in the library.

When I come to a strange city alone to study, I often feel dazed, but I still have books; knowledge, time fragmentation, electronic products flood life, but I still have books. Slowly pacing between the bookshelves of the library like a "mountain high", eyes and hands rubbing between the pages. During the day, I have the sun by the window, the breeze that sometimes passes by, the white curtains that float gently; at night, I have warm lights, comfortable wooden tables and chairs, and a heart as quiet as night but hot as night.
Reading, the mind is like experiencing a grand tour. In the middle of the pile of books, but the soul has already embarked on a wonderful journey. Thought travel can not only travel through thousands of rivers and mountains, but also travel through infinite time and space. Books are roads, and roads are books. And my soul also found its own place to return in the book. My heart will always be hot, always hot, forever yearning for endless distances.

What can fight against the occasional anxiety in the heart? I think it's reading. I am often glad that I still insist on reading, love to read, and enjoy reading. What reading can give me is not only knowledge, but also a clean space - the time to be able to immerse myself in reading is really my own time, and the joy of reading is also.
Reading makes me feel the smallness of myself in the vast literature, but also makes me see the larger world and deeper freedom, and see more diverse possibilities in life. Reading has always allowed me to maintain a curiosity and love for the world, and has helped me better face the complex problems in life. When we are anxious to face more uncertainty, it is better to start by reading a book! Pay attention to every bit of awareness learned in the process of reading, and build your own spiritual fortress over the long years.

Reading is an integral part of my life. When I devote myself to reading, the resonance of the mind and the book pulls me out of this figurative environment, and I feel as if I hear the sound of the mind pulling together.
Through reading, I enrich my knowledge and experience, balance reason and emotion, and perceive history and the present. These gains have brought me an unparalleled sense of satisfaction and happiness, and at the same time made me look forward to the infinite possibilities of the future, so that I can strengthen my initial faith in this prosperous era, see the true yearning in my heart and be willing to put in enthusiasm and hard work. With this belief, I am not afraid to face the challenges of the unknown and the wider world. In the days to come, I will still live up to Shaohua and accompany the book.

When it comes to reading, it always gives me a sense of peace and security. Reading allows me to touch, explore, and absorb all kinds of knowledge. I don't have a specific reading preference and always like to read all kinds of books. Understand some simple economic and psychological knowledge, explore some rich and interesting historical facts, read novels with twists and turns, ups and downs, and think about some enlightening and rewarding philosophical questions... I always feel happy during the reading process.
Reading makes me feel calm and my heart is more fulfilled. During the busy exam weeks, I tend to want to read more, so I always intersperse some reading time during the revision process. Reading can give me spiritual strength, so that my heart is stable and solid because of its company.
Reading does not feel that it is late spring
