Celebrities read a lot of interesting things
Wen | a thousand years of flying mountains
Books are the ladder of human progress. "It is beneficial to open the book" is the consensus of people since ancient times.
On the mountain of knowledge, the higher the climb, the more magnificent the scenery in front of you, and everyone who wants to climb high on this mountain must have profound knowledge and must study hard.
The ancients loved books and left many inspirational stories and classic anecdotes about reading, but with the development of science and technology, people gradually lost interest in paper books, and many people did not turn a few pages of books all year round.
According to reports, in 2020, the per capita reading volume of paper books by adult citizens in China is 4.70, the per capita reading volume of e-books is 3.29, only 11.6% of the nationals read 10 or more paper books per year, and only 12.1% of the nationals read books for more than 1 hour a day.
Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, but all people who have achieved something have the same hobby - reading. Many celebrities love books like treasures and can't release the scrolls, so there are many moving stories with books.
At present, people are accustomed to holding mobile phones in their hands instead of books, and while receiving fragmented information from mobile phones, we need to calm down and pick up books to read.
Below, I will share a few interesting stories about celebrity reading for you, hoping that you will have some understanding after reading it, and re-pick up the long-lost books.
Kuang Heng "BorrowEd Books"
Kuang Heng was a Western Han Dynasty classicist and an official to the Chancellor. The Kuang family has been farming for generations, but Kuang Heng is very studious and diligent. Due to the poverty of the family, there is no candle lighting in the home, and a hole in the wall of the house is dug to attract the light of the neighbor's house, and the story of "chiseling the wall to steal the light" is widely praised by the world.
In order to learn, Kuang Heng not only "borrowed light", but also "borrowed books".
There is a big family in the same township whose owner is called Wen Buzhi, who is a rich man and has a lot of books in the family. Kuang Heng went to his house to work as a hirer, but he did not want to be paid. The master felt strange and asked him why he was like this, and he said, "I hope to get your book and read it all." The master listened, sighed deeply, and lent him the book to read.
As a result, Kuang Heng became a university inquirer.
Li Mi "hanging up the book"
During the Sui Dynasty, Li Mi, the leader of the rebel army in Wagangzhai, was sent as a teenager to serve as a bodyguard in the court of the Sui Emperor. He was flexible by nature, and when he was on duty, he looked left and right, and was discovered by the Sui Emperor, who thought that the child was not honest, so he was exempted from his messenger.
Li Mi was not frustrated, and after returning home, he was angry and read, and decided to be a learned person.
Once, Li Mi rode a cow and went out to see his friends. On the way, he hung the Book of Han on the horn of the cow and seized the time to read it. The incident was rumored to be a good story.
Su Dongpo "Exploring Books"
Su Dongpo, a poet, lyricist, painter, calligrapher, and gourmet, was a great scholar of the Northern Song Dynasty, who was very knowledgeable, and he had a kind of "individual breaking" reading method, that is, only one problem was explored every time he read a book.
Because the content of a book is rich, and people's energy is limited, it is impossible to absorb them all at once, and they can only concentrate on understanding a certain aspect. If you want to explore the reasons for the rise and fall of the dynasties and the chaos, you must read it again from this angle; if you want to explore the historical facts and allusions, you must read it again from another angle.
After reading in this way, all aspects can stand the test, and you can master everything after reading it a few times.
Li Shizhen "drying books"
Li Shizhen, a famous medical scientist in the Ming Dynasty and respected by later generations as a "medicine saint", when he was a teenager, he lived in a family medical hall on the opposite door, but the owner was a quack doctor who did not learn and did not learn any skills, pretending to be Sven, indiscriminately filling the numbers, opening his mouth "On Typhoid Fever", closing his mouth "Medicinal Properties", and calling himself "Sai Huatuo".
But this quack doctor is rich and has a penchant for collecting books, and usually does not hesitate to buy the world's medical books at great expense to show off himself.
Li Shizhen's family has been a doctor for generations, and the family's income is only subsistence, coupled with the fact that they often give free medical charity to poor patients, so they have no money to buy books. In order to master the medical path and read many books, he borrowed books from this quack doctor many times, but was ruthlessly rejected.
One summer, just after the rainy season, the quack doctor ordered his family to move the books in the study to the courtyard to dry. Various classical medical stalls filled the courtyard, and he paced the courtyard himself.
Just at this time, Li Shizhen passed by, saw that the courtyard was full of books, on a whim, walked into the courtyard, unbuttoned his clothes and lay down next to the shelf where the books were drying, and also dried up the "books".
"Sai Huatuo" inexplicably asked, "Li Shizhen, what are you doing?"
Li Shizhen smiled and said, "I'm also drying books!"
Sai Huatuo asked even more puzzledly, "Where is your book?"
Li Shizhen patted his shirt and said, "My books are all in here." ”
After "Sai Huatuo" listened, he knew that Li Shizhen was mocking him, and his face was red with shame and he was speechless.
Tang Ru inquired about "touching the book"
Tang Ruqian, a poet and scholar in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, was a smart and cute child when he was a child. Since the age of 3, he has been reading and reading with his brother, but when he was 5 years old, due to a serious illness, his world has lost its light.
Tang Ruqian was very painful, but he did not flinch, but inspired him to study hard. When the brothers were in class, Tang Ruxun listened carefully and memorized carefully.
Although Tang Ruxun is very strong, he also encountered many difficulties in the process of learning, because he could not see, so he often had to pay more efforts than others. Sometimes, the text was very long, and he could not remember what the gentleman was saying by ear. So, he created a learning method - touching with his hands, and this knotted rope notation method worked very well.
Tang Ruxun also liked poetry, and the mood depicted in the poems could be tasted without eyes. After unremitting efforts, he finally became a world-famous poet.
Wang Fuzhi's "Marriage Letter"

Someone opened it and looked at it, and it turned out to be a box full of books. Wang Fuzhi said to everyone, "This is the dowry I have been doing for my daughter for many years!"
Lu Xun "Cherishes books"
Lu Xun studied at the Jiangnan Water Teachers' Academy, and with excellent results in the first semester, the school awarded him a gold medal. He immediately took it to the streets of Nanjing Drum Tower to sell, then bought a few books and a bunch of red peppers.
Whenever the night was cold, and the night reading was unbearable, he picked a chili pepper, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and his forehead was sweating. He used this method to drive away the cold and insist on reading. Because of his hard study, he later became a famous literary artist in China.
Not only hard reading, Lu Xun also cherished books very much, and developed a good habit of loving books from a young age.
Since he was a teenager, Lu Xun has formed an indissoluble relationship with books, and he has bought many books throughout his life. He usually loves books very much, always washes his hands before reading books, and carefully cleans them when they are dirty. He also prepared a set of tools for himself, ordering and supplementing books.
A dilapidated book, after being sorted out by Lu Xun, often looks completely new. He usually does not easily lend his used books to others, and if someone else borrows books, he would rather buy a new book and lend it to others.
Wang Yanan "Bound Book"
Wang Yanan, a famous modern economist, educator and translator of the earliest Chinese of Capital, has great ambitions and loves to read. When he was in middle school, in order to buy more time to study, he deliberately sawed one foot of the wooden bed he slept on half a foot shorter into a three-legged bed.
Every day after reading until late at night, after going to bed when tired, as soon as he turned over in the confusion, the bed tilted in the direction of the short foot, and Wang Yanan was suddenly awakened, so he immediately got out of bed and read at night. Every day, without interruption.
In 1933, when Wang Yanan was on a ship sailing from the Red Sea to Europe, the ship was so bumpy that he could not stand firmly, so he asked the waiter of the restaurant to tie him to a chair. The waiter thought he was afraid of falling, so he complied, but he began to read the book intently.
Smell a lot of "drunken books"
Modern poets, scholars, and democracy fighters are addicted to reading and "drunk" when they see it. While he was getting married, a strange thing happened.
On that day, I smelled a number of lights and was very lively. Early in the morning, friends and relatives come to the door to celebrate, until the flower palanquin is about to arrive home, people can not find the groom everywhere.
Everyone was anxious to look east and west, and as a result, they found Wen Yiduo in the study. He was still wearing an old robe and was fascinated by a book in his hand. No wonder people say that he can't read books and is "drunk" when he sees them.
Hua Luogeng "Guess the Book"
Hua Luogeng, a famous mathematician and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is knowledgeable and loves to read all his life, and he has summarized a set of effective reading methods.
Whenever he gets a new book, Hua Luogeng does not read it word by word from beginning to end, and his usual practice is to look at the title of the book first, then close your eyes, meditate for half a moment, and imagine in your mind.
First imagine what kind of style and chapter structure you will adopt if the person who wrote the book is yourself, and then open the book and check it with your own conjecture one by one.
If the author's plot layout is almost the same as his own conjecture, Hua Luogeng will put the book aside and not read it. If it was completely different from his own thinking, he would pick up the book and read it carefully.
Hua Luogeng's self-created "guessing book" method is to change from a slave to a slave of books to a master of free choice.
Reading on the basis of merit not only improves the efficiency of reading and reduces useless work, but also enables him to invisibly develop the habit of being good at thinking and being diligent in thinking, and his thinking ability and imagination have also been improved.
Zhang Guanghou "Eating Books"
Mathematician Zhang Guanghou once saw a paper on deficit value and felt that it was useful for his research work, so he read it over and over again. The paper was more than 20 pages long, and he read it over and over again for more than half a year.
Because of frequent repeated touches, the white pages leave a distinct black mark. Zhang Guanghou's wife joked to him that this is called reading, it is simply eating books.
Cao Yu "Bubble Book"
Cao Yu, an outstanding modern drama playwright and known as the "Shakespeare of the East", taught at Jiang'an National Opera in Sichuan during the War of Resistance Against Japan.
One summer, Cao Yu's family prepared a bathtub and hot water and asked him to take a bath. At this time, Cao Yu was reading a book, loving it, pushing and shoving. Finally, at the repeated urging of his family, he entered the inner room with a towel in one hand and a book in the other.
An hour passed, no one came out, the room from time to time heard the sound of sparse water, and another hour passed, the situation remained the same.
The family members were suddenly confused, and when they pushed the door, it turned out that Cao Yu was sitting in the bathtub, reading a book in one hand, and rubbing it intentionally or unintentionally with a towel in the other hand. Where is the bath, clearly in the "bubble book"!

At that time, the family gave Zhu Ziqing one yuan of pocket money every month, most of which was handed over to a Guangyi bookstore in his hometown, and he often owed debts.
Later, Zhu Ziqing recalled in the article: "This silly energy is quite interesting to recall. ”
In Zhu Ziqing's last year at university, once he went to Liulichang to visit a bookstore, he saw a new edition of the Webster Dictionary at Huayang Bookstore, priced at 14 yuan.
Although this money is not too expensive for this big book, it is not a small amount for a student. I don't have so much money on hand, but I can't bear to read books.
Thinking about it, one of my own leather coats is worth a little money. Although the big trunk is a cloth surface, the style is a bit rustic, and the collar is still patched together with two pairs of "horseshoe sleeves", but after all, it is a leather coat, and the father has made some effort.
However, at that time, he was really reluctant to have the "Big Dictionary", and he thought that he would be able to redeem the Big Zi in the future, so Zhu Ziqing resolutely took it to the pawnshop. Because he thought of redemption in the future, he used the price of the book as the equivalent price: 14 yuan. Of course, the big gun is more than this price, so the people on the pawnshop cabinet are not embarrassed at all, and pay immediately.
Taking the money, Zhu Ziqing immediately went to hold back the Webster Dictionary. Unexpectedly, the big piece that cost my father a lot of effort was not redeemed in the end.
