Speaking of the importance of reading, CCTV reporter Zhu Guangquan has a passage of smooth words:
It can make when you see the sunset afterglow, think in your mind, the sunset and the lone bird fly together, and the autumn water is always the same. Instead, wow! The sunset is so beautiful.
When you see the snowflakes flying in the sky, you can blurt out, suddenly like a spring breeze in the night, thousands of trees and pear blossoms. And not just being exclaimed, oops, the snow is so big, being stunned.
If you don't read, no matter how much you walk, you're just a postman. If you don't read, others will say, the spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease, you will say, I am so hi.
Others will say, the winding path leads to the shadows, you will only say, the road is crooked.
Others will say, it is better to forget about the jianghu, you will only say, I want to flap with you.
Indeed, this is the gap, and the good literary style that makes you blurt out is actually a thick accumulation. Some people will question the point of reading a book and forgetting what it says.
Then you should think about it, even if the bamboo basket is empty, the bamboo basket has become cleaner after being washed by water.
This is the meaning of reading.
If you must recommend a book to readers and friends, the author will not hesitate to choose the "Biography of Su Dongpo" written by Mr. Lin Yutang, why? There are three reasons for this:
First, Su Dongpo has experienced the ups and downs of life, from the Northern Song Dynasty's jinshi and the first to become an official, how proud of his spring breeze, in the literary circle of the Northern Song Dynasty, he is "traffic", his works will be robbed by the public and even the royal family as soon as they come out. However, most of the time he was an official, he was degraded and released. Do you also have a sense of empathy that your talents are not being displayed? Compared with Su Dongpo, our situation seems to be good or bad, but it is not far behind.
From his life, he learned to live in adversity and accept the ordinary nature of life.
Second, be truth-seeking and pragmatic. As Su Dongpo said in his poem, life is like a reverse journey, and I am also a pedestrian. Degraded to Huangzhou, he wrote, picking up all the cold branches and refusing to perch, the lonely sandbar is cold, and the trough of life is nothing more than this. But it was also during this time that he successively wrote down the Chibi Fu before and after. Disaster relief in Mizhou, flood control in Xuzhou, embankment repair in Hangzhou, teaching in Danzhou and so on.
He was a reader and a "civil servant", and even in the trough period, he did not forget his duty as a man and an official, and while studying, he did practical things for the people at that time.
This is a spiritual quality worth learning from contemporary college students.
Third, recognizing the nature of life can still love life. Su Dongpo's most admirable thing is his attitude to life, even if he is fried, he can still remain positive and optimistic, eat pork, lychees and oysters, etc., and write exquisite works.
Considering his situation, people have to sigh that he is a life attitude of practicing "the world kisses with pain, I and I repay it with songs" with himself, he has lived out the freedom of life, and also tells us a truth: even if he recognizes the essence of life, he can still love life.
Why isn't life happy? Only because I did not read Su Dongpo.
This sentence makes a lot of sense. Synthesizing the above three points - the author's humble opinion, the author also recommends that you take the time to read the "Biography of Su Dongpo" written by Mr. Lin Yutang, to feel, to get.
