On the one hand, we must develop the habit of reading carefully, and on the other hand, we must develop the habit of reading quickly. If you don't have any details, you will be tantamount to reading in vain; if you are not happy, you will not be able to search for information. ——Liang Qichao
There are many chinese literati, due to the influence of Confucianism and the scientific system, the readers occupy a high position in the hearts of Chinese, and there are many words in the Chinese to describe their talents, such as exporting into chapters, mouths hanging in the river, handy hands and so on. If a person is knowledgeable, can skillfully use the words and allusions he has mastered, and writes articles that can inspire and influence others, then this person must be admired by thousands of people.
Therefore, many Chinese literati hope that they will have the ability to read a lot of books, never forget, and write articles that everyone praises. But it is extremely difficult to have such a skill, in addition to having extraordinary talent, but also to have extraordinary efforts. There are only a few literati in Chinese history who can do such people, and Liang Qichao is one of them.
Speaking of Liang Qichao's name, every Chinese is familiar with liang Qichao, who occupies a very important position in Chinese history, especially during the Republic of China. Liang Qichao was born in 1873 in Xinhui, Guangzhou. Liang Qichao in his childhood showed outstanding talent. He has loved to read since he was a child, and has dabbled in a wide range of subjects, mainly studying traditional Chinese literature such as the Confucian and Mencius Classics. At that time, Liang Qichao had not yet come into contact with the advanced ideology and culture of the West, but because of the needs of the imperial examination, he mainly studied to do eight strands of articles.
At the age of 10, Liang Qichao took the imperial examination for the first time, although the first time, he was still easy to cope with. Two years later, at the age of 12, he was the first in the middle of the show, which caused an uproar in Guangzhou at that time. It was also because of this show that in 1885, Liang Qichao had the opportunity to enter the Guangzhou Xuehai Hall to study. It was also from here that Liang Qichao's ideological outlook changed completely, and his life turned a new page and entered a new chapter.
When he first entered the Guangzhou Xuehai Hall to study, Liang Qichao's mind was still devoted to the imperial examination, and he traveled from north to south for the imperial examination several times to rush to Beijing to catch the examination. In the course of several such trips, Liang Qichao has seen more people and things, gradually opened his horizons, and has a renewed understanding of the society and country he is in, he gradually understands that there are too many people in the world, they do not care whether they are full and clothed, they do not care whether they can step into the career, food and clothing.
They care about the Chinese nation and the people of Chinese, and they hope to save this China that is in danger. Liang Qichao's consciousness of patriotism for the people was gradually stimulated, and he resolutely abandoned his previous dream of entering the career path, chose to stand by the side of these young people with lofty ideals, followed them, and began to embark on the road of saving the country and the people.
In order to find a way to truly save the country and save the people, Liang Qichao read a lot of books, forgot to eat, and actively studied the advanced ideology and culture of the West. If China cannot develop, it will surely lead to extinction; he gradually understands that the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the puppeteer, and he knows that he shoulders the heavy responsibility and shoulders the heavy responsibility of changing the face of China; he gradually understands that the first step in changing China is "to open up the wisdom of the people as the first righteousness."
Liang Qichao, who later carried these ideas, became acquainted with Chen Qianqiu and Kang Youwei. Under the intertwining of the three people's ideas, the Meiji Restoration was born, and Liang Qichao became one of the initiators of the Meiji Restoration, and he embarked on a new road of reform and restoration, saving the country and saving the people together with Kang Youwei and others.
In order to publicize reform and restoration, awaken the Chinese people's idea of reforming the political system, and saving the country and saving the people, he successively created articles such as "General Discussion on Changing the Law" and "On China's Weakness Due to Fraud Prevention" to publicize reform and restoration. His articles are skillful in words, sharp in views, and extremely appealing, awakening batch after batch of literati students and batches of high-quality people in China.
Regrettably, the reformers led by Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao were too weak in political power and skill, and their attempt to save China by reforming China's political system ultimately failed. The blood of the six gentlemen of Wushu stained the land of China red. But this defeat did not crush Liang Qichao, who still fought to change China's poverty and weakness.
After the establishment of the Republic of China in 1912, Liang Qichao had entered Yuan Shikai's government as the chief of justice, and Liang Qichao, who could have continued to shine in this position, encountered Yuan Shikai's restoration of the imperial system, and his ideas were once again frustrated. Although Liang Qichao's political career has not been so smooth, his academic attainments are beyond expectation.
Liang Qichao has an extensive book that everyone envies, and he has never forgotten his superb skills. Not only that, but he was diligent and studious all his life, loved to read, and dabbled in a wide range of subjects, and he had to read every day, starting with reading and ending with reading. Liang Qichao also summed up the method of reading for himself, dividing the books to be read every day into two categories, one is to read intensively and carefully, and the other is to browse and read quickly.
He never forgot that the ability to read a lot of books was developed in this good habit. Liang Qichao believes that we must not only develop the habit of reading carefully, but also develop the habit of reading quickly. Reading without rules is equivalent to reading for nothing, and nothing is gained, a waste of time. If you are not fast to read, you cannot read a lot of books.
When Liang Qichao once went to the bookstore to buy books, he once encountered a book that he loved very much and wanted to buy it and read it carefully. But that was when Liang Qichao was still young, still running around for science exams, he did not have a lot of money, plus the price of books was extremely expensive at that time. But he really liked this book, and bargained with the seller, but the seller was unwilling to sell the Liang Qichao at a reduced price, helpless, Liang Qichao had to read it on the spot in the bookstore.
He spent several hours reading through the whole book, and when he finished reading the book, he was leaving, and the seller asked him why he didn't buy the book, and Liang Qichao asked for an answer, and he had memorized the whole book. The seller was amazed when he heard it, he didn't believe that someone could memorize an entire book in just a few hours, so he casually turned a page for him to recite. Liang Qichao was able to recite it skillfully, and it was not bad at all. The seller was very surprised that there was such a person who never forgot, so he gave the book to Liang Qichao.
Another time, when Hu Shi was discussing things with Liang Qichao, he said that there are many ancient Chinese poems and poems describing animals, but there is an animal that we are very familiar with, but there are very few people who describe it, and this animal is a pig. Liang Qichao immediately heard a poem describing pigs: Sunset herbs see swimming pigs. Hu Shi was very surprised to hear that Liang Qichao could be so handy.
It can be seen that Liang Qichao has read a lot of books and has never forgotten the high level of skill. Because this poem came from the hands of the Qianlong Emperor, but the Qianlong Emperor had a large number of poems, about 40,000 poems and most of them were written in essays, not paying attention to any format and rhetoric, almost no one was so familiar with his poems. It can be seen that Liang Qichao's reading and learning is so great that no one can match. Liang Qichao's lifelong works are equal to his body, Tao Li is full of the world, Jiang Baili, Xu Zhimo, etc. are his students.
Liang Qichao has a lot of research on Chinese culture, and the countless academic works he has written have far-reaching significance for the study of traditional Chinese culture and modern Chinese historical literature. He was not only a reformer who promoted Western culture and learned Western ideas, but also a writer who had a profound impact on the development of Chinese literature.
The wisdom of the youth is the wisdom of the country, the wealth of the youth is the wealth of the country, and the strength of the youth is the strength of the country. The sword blade is sharpened from the ground, the plum blossom fragrance comes from the bitter cold, only by reading, can you step on the land of China, the blue sky and the white sun overhead, carry 5,000 years of history and culture, and move towards a better future.
