Qin Mu (1919-1992), formerly known as Lin Juefu, was a native of Chenghai, Guangdong. He once served as the deputy editor-in-chief of Yangcheng Evening News, the editor-in-chief of Works, the director of the department of Chinese of Jinan University, the director of the China Writers Association, and the vice chairman of the Guangdong Federation of Literature and Literature. He is the author of the essay collection "Flower City", the novellas "Gold Coast", "The Sea of Anger", and the literary and artistic theories "Yihai Shibei", "Yulin Caiying" and many others. This article was originally titled "Talking about Reading Methods",

It was originally published in the "Reading Music" column of Xinmin Evening News edited by Mr. Cao Zhengwen, and later included in the book "100 Famous Artists Talk about Reading" edited by Cao Zhengwen. This article describes the attitude of reading, the motivation to read, and the method of reading. He believes that for reading, determination, confidence, resilience, and perseverance are more important than methods, and why the motivation to read is more important than determination, confidence, resilience, and perseverance. Step-by-step, cumulative, attentive, undistracted and good at controlling time are important ways to read. The last sentence of the most wonderful article: "The same house can either display works of art or pile up garbage, and the same is true of the human brain." "Maybe what books to read is a more important question.

After the launch of "Reading Music", I think this special edition is quite well run. The editor wrote several times asking me to talk about my reading method. I wanted to solve a problem of determination, confidence, resilience, and perseverance before I could explore a way to read. No matter how good the learning method is, if the learner lacks these prerequisites, it is still useless. For example, if you don't ride a horse, how can you reach thousands of miles away? I feel deeply that perseverance is often more important than intelligence.

To solve the problems of determination, confidence, resilience, and perseverance, it is best to solve the problem of motivation first, that is, "Why learn?" "For boring pastimes, for a diploma, for a job bowl, or for the sake of getting ahead, you can learn." However, for those who regard learning as a stepping stone, as soon as the door is knocked on (that is, the personal purpose has been achieved), the knocker will be thrown away by the hand. Only those who are striving for the cause of the people and for the progress of society have endless motivation to learn. All determination, confidence, tenacity, perseverance, will continue to gush from the source.

When we think of a good book, the nourishment of the whole world, we try to nibble on it like a hungry person pounces on bread. As soon as we think of a good book, like a ship, that can take us from a narrow harbor to the vast ocean, we will be ambitious to board the ship and make a long voyage.

Step by step, accumulated over time, it can be said that it is a method of reading. Read the popular ones first, then read the more difficult ones, and then read the deep ones. In this way, it is much better than the reading method of trying to "ascend to the heavens in one step".

Reading attentively and without distraction can also be said to be a method of reading. Predecessors often go to what quiet places to read, so far we can often see in some famous mountain resorts, see the inscription "Mr. So-and-so Reading Place" and other words, it can be seen that generations of people, have long discovered this truth.

Good at dominating time, when the mind is clear and energetic, used to read deep books; when the spirit is poor, or tired to read novels, poems, recreational readings, etc., is also an effective way to use time and improve learning efficiency. Although time is not selfish to everyone, those who are good at using time are equivalent to extending the time of the day.

Knowing how to choose books is also a learning method that must be paid attention to. Some people have been reading all their lives, but they have been confused all their lives. Some salon ladies in foreign countries have read novels all their lives, but they have not written anything in their lives, and they do not really understand life and society. Reading for pure pleasure can easily lead to such a misguided path. The same house can either display art or pile up garbage, and the same is true of the human brain.
