In the era of "fast food", reading seems to have become a luxury unconsciously, especially reading those seemingly useless "idle books", and people often discuss over and over again: what is the use of reading?
Back then, generations of people were full of poetry and books, and their pen was full of flowers. But now, reading has been reduced to a luxury and uselessness, and has it been reduced to the point of being discussed like this?
This can't help but feel a little ridiculous and a little sad. I can't help but think of the sentence "useless is a scholar" sung in the TV series "Iron Tooth and Bronze Tooth Ji Xiaolan", although the lyrics are joking, but the "Ji Xiaolan" full of poems and books in the play is obviously a living model of "useful reading".
What exactly is the use of reading? Zhu Shunshui on the occasion of the Ming and Qing dynasties said: But if you don't study, it's useless to study. Most of the people who ask this question don't read. They don't know that reading and not reading are different lives.
Reading is the same thing, those who read and those who don't read, accumulate over time, and eventually become a world of difference. Therefore, insisting on reading is the most stable reliance in life and the best way out.
Reading can make you feel like you
Someone asked: I have read a lot of books before, and then I forgot them, what is the point of reading them? Someone replied: You used to eat a lot of food, and then you forgot what you ate, what's the point?
The meaning is that those meals that have been eaten have grown into your flesh and bones. The books you read have also grown into the flesh and blood of your spirit.
In ancient times, literati must have taken reading as the focus of their lives, and there were ever people who enjoyed tasting fragrant tea and rubbing Dingyi all day long, instead of reading books, reciting texts, reading scriptures and reading history. We strive to imitate the elegance of tea and flower arrangement of the ancients, but no one has inherited the spirit of hard study.
The ancients had a cloud: "The sound of pines, streams, mountain birds, night insects, cranes, pianos, chess pieces falling, raindrops, snow spilling windows, and sencha are all clear, and the sound of reading is the most." There is also an aphorism: "Treating vulgar diseases is like a book, and giving wine is like a moon." The courtyard of the mansion is full of antiques, so the style is elegant, if you don't study, you are still a vulgar skeleton.
Reading can change temperament
The ancients said, "Reading is not famous, but people are elegant; Xiude was reported unexpectedly, and he naturally dreamed of peace of mind. "The purpose of reading is to be tainted with tranquility, elegance, talent, atmosphere, righteousness, courage, harmony and luck; The purpose of reading is to get rid of irritability, vulgarity, pedanticism, pettiness, evil, cowardice, anger and bad luck.
Among all the elegant and noble activities of human beings, reading is the lowest threshold and the highest return on investment: "Books do not ask whether they are rich or poor, young or old, and if you read a book, you will increase the benefits of a book; If you read a book for a day, you will benefit for a day.'"
Read a book, for an interesting soul
It's not that reading is great, but the act of reading means that you don't fully identify with this world and reality, you still have pursuits, you are still struggling, you are still dissatisfied, you are still looking for another possibility, another way of life.
Reading books is to keep yourself from becoming the kind of person you hate the most. Reading is to become an interesting and thinking person. Reading is to have an interesting soul in the ordinary world.
People always say that "scholarly door", scholarly and scholarly, it is taste, pastime, comfort, flesh and blood, and life that does not endure. It will become a bright light that illuminates the cold night and shines into life. It also allows one life after another to meet in the book, making time slow and beautiful.
Reading knows the world, reading is not luxurious, reading is pure. In the book, slowly comprehend: look at the mountain is the mountain, see the water is the water; Look at the mountains are not mountains, and look at the water is not water; Look at the mountain is still a mountain, look at the water is still water.
