"There are so many good books out there now, and I don't think I can share them casually, because I don't necessarily like your book list. But no matter what, you can't go wrong with classic, time-sifted literary masterpieces. When asked if he could share a book list, Liang Hong said seriously.
On the afternoon of April 21, the "Book Feast: Reading with Famous Writers" activity of the "Most Beautiful April Day" reading season was held in the Zhongyuan Book Building, where writers Liang Hong and Li Qingyuan had a live dialogue, sharing their thoughts and insights with readers on topics such as reading methods, the meaning of reading, reading and writing, etc.
"Medicine can't be eaten indiscriminately, books can't be read indiscriminately"
April 23rd is World Book Day, and on this day most closely related to "reading", there is a question that has always been discussed over and over again: in the era of advanced technology, which is the favorite of people, convenient and efficient e-books or paper books with unique charm?
In this regard, Liang Hong's answer is simple and direct: the form is not important, the key is the harvest of the book itself.
Liang Hong said that reading is actually a process of dialogue with oneself and the world, there is no difference between paper reading and electronic reading, and young people are naturally more intimate with e-books, but fragmented reading is also reading, which should not be belittled, but each loves its own love and beauty.
At the same time, no matter what method you use, you need to choose carefully when you read.
Li Qingyuan recounted that he had seen some common-sense mistakes in a book, and in his opinion, the old saying "it is better to believe in a book than to have no book" has a certain truth. "It's like taking medicine when you're sick, you can't take medicine indiscriminately, and you can't read books indiscriminately. Li Qingyuan said.
For this situation, Liang Hong shared a simple trick - read the classics. She believes that readers don't know whether the book is good or bad until they read it, and in the case of limited time, the safest thing is those classics that have passed the test of time.
"In addition to this, we need to form a joint force as a whole. Authors write good books, publishers publish good books, and those who promote them are responsible for the works. Liang Hong added.
"Reading is a competency that requires long-term training"
There is a famous saying in "Zhuangzi": "My life has an end, and knowledge has no end, and there is no end to it." It means that my life is limited, and knowledge is unlimited, and I want to use my limited life to pursue infinite knowledge. This phrase is often used as a warning to motivate people to study hard. However, in the original Zhuangzi, this sentence is followed by two words: "self-destruction", that is, if you really pursue infinite knowledge, you will fail.
It's the same with reading. The sea of books is vast, and in today's complex information, it is of course impossible to read all the books, so you can only try your best to choose the books that interest you or are suitable for you. So, how do you choose?
"Reading is a competency in itself, and it requires long-term training. Liang Hong said, "You need to read a variety of books for a long time to have a basic appreciation of books." ”
On this basis, Liang Hong believes that people need to treat reading as an everyday, instinctive thing. "We should not only acquire knowledge through reading, but also maintain a love for thinking and unremitting pursuit of spiritual growth through reading. Liang Hong said.
"This kind of reading training is definitely based on long-term experience, so in the beginning, you need someone to guide you. Just like a duckling sees his mother as the first person he sees, the first book a person reads may affect his impression of the world. Li Qingyuan added.
It is reported that the event was hosted by Zhongyuan Publishing and Media Group and Zhongyuan Dadi Media Co., Ltd., and undertaken by Henan Literature and Art Publishing House and Henan Xinhua Bookstore. In order to implement the "2024 Scholarly Henan Construction Project Implementation Plan", under the guidance of the Propaganda Department of the Henan Provincial Party Committee, Zhongyuan Publishing and Media Group planned as a whole, and the Provincial Xinhua Bookstore Distribution Group and various publishing units under Zhongyuan Publishing and Media Group jointly launched the 2024 "National Reading, Scholarly Henan" monthly theme reading series activities, so as to promote more concentrating reading content, more colorful reading activities, and more development and expansion of the reading promotion team, so that the concept of national reading will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and the Central Plains will be full of books.
In the April-themed reading activity "The Most Beautiful April Day" reading season, Xinhua Bookstores in the province took the "4.23 World Book Day" as the activity as the guide, and widely carried out a series of activities such as the Huimin Book Fair, the Creative Reading Market, the Spring "Wild" Reading, the Reading and Sharing of Famous Experts, and the Promotion of National Reading, so as to promote the widespread participation of the whole society in reading, and form a strong atmosphere of loving reading, reading good books, and being good at reading.
