Zhang Pu's method of transcribing

This is the learning method of the famous literary scholar Zhang Pu at the end of the Ming Dynasty who used copying to read and ponder deeply.

The steps of Zhang Pu's dicing method are divided into three steps: the first step is to copy, the second step is to recite, "the third step is to burn." Every time he read an article, he first copied it neatly, read it silently while copying it, and then burned it after reciting it once it was copied. Then re-copied and chased, and then longtong, burned. Repeat this seven or eight times until you have thoroughly understood and memorized the text.

This reading has the following main points:

First, reading mobilizes all kinds of senses, so that there are four to: eye, hand, mouth, and heart.

Second, use copying to drive reading, reading, thinking, and remembering, reading while copying, reading with thinking, and copying with memorization.

Third, it is repeated word by word, in fact, it is for the purpose of repeated recitation, understanding, digestion, and in-depth study of the article.

The main advantage of Zhang Pu's scribe reading method is that it is more impressive than reading by hand, which is conducive to deepening understanding, helping to remember, consolidating knowledge, and improving the efficiency of reading. The essential feature of this reading style is to pay attention to the quality of reading. Zhang Pu liked to use this method of transcription very much, and he titled his study "Seven Records Zhai" (also known as "Seven Burning Zhai"), and also named his collection of essays "Seven Records of Zhai Collection>.

The following points should be noted in the use of Zhang Pu's scribe reading method:

First, the emphasis is on understanding its spirit and grasping its main points. There is no need to stick to the three specific steps of this method, namely copying - one recitation - burning.

Second, the specific way of copying should be determined according to the value of the book and the text, different needs and the respective habits of the copy reader. Some can be copied in its entirety, and some can be copied.

Third, use the book to copy, or use cards or other means to copy, but also depends on the person, flexible mastery.
