Reading can increase a person's self-cultivation, make a person knowledgeable, answer questions, know more about the world, know more about mankind and know yourself. Reading can take us to many places that we can't go. Reading can be used as a pastime when we are bored, and it can also be used as a tool to get a diploma.

Because reading has many benefits (generally speaking, it means good books), so many people are reading, because everyone is reading, so we also want to read. Why do you want to study? Because reading is good, why does anyone want to read? Everyone reads for different reasons, and everyone reads different books.

Ba Jin's reading method

The famous writer Ba Jin's reading method is very strange, because he doesn't need books to read, which is really a wonder in the world. What's going on here? Ba Jin said: "When I was hospitalized for the second time, I got out of bed less than an hour after taking a nap every day and sat on the sofa waiting for the nurse to take my temperature at two o'clock. I sat quietly but didn't doze off. My brain refuses to rest. It is recalling some books and works I have read in the past, as if it wants to keep some beautiful things before my memory completely declines. "

It turns out that his reading method is to sit there and recall the books he has read, which has many advantages:

(1) You can make full use of time without conditions. Ba Jin cited two examples: one was that when Leningrad was surrounded by the Germans for a long time during the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union, a girl wrote in her diary, "Anna? There was no electricity and no candles, and the whole city was out of power. Instead of reading a book, she sat in the dark and recalled the plot in the book. Tolstoy's novels helped her through those terrible nights. Another example is his own personal experience of ten years of civil strife. He said: "If the rebels allowed me to keep a diary during the Cultural Revolution, my diary must be full of titles. People will wonder: my study has been blocked for ten years. Where can I find those books to read? "They forget that there is a big warehouse in people's minds, which stores things that others can't take away. These two examples show that you can "read" without normal reading conditions.

(2) Review the past and learn new things. Take out the books you have read in the past and chew them bit by bit, which can be further digested and absorbed like rumination. Every time I recall, I will have a new understanding, a new understanding and a new harvest.

(3) Be able to continuously draw spiritual strength from the books you have read. Ba Jin said: "I am now fighting against illness, and I am inspired by various works ... Even if I am sick, I have no spirit to read new works. The accumulated spiritual wealth in the past is enough for my limited rest of my life until the deceased needs light and heat."

Wang Yanan sleeps in a three-legged bed.

When Wang Yanan was a child, he was ambitious and loved reading.

When he was in middle school, in order to gain more time to study, he deliberately sawed off one foot of his wooden bed and turned it into a three-legged bed. I read until late at night every day. I went to bed when I was tired, and then I turned over in a daze. The bed leans in the direction of short feet. He woke up suddenly, got out of bed at once and read at night. Every day, without interruption. As a result, he achieved excellent results every year and was praised as one of the "three outstanding figures" in his class.

Because he studied hard as a teenager, he eventually became an outstanding economist in China.

How did Chairman Mao study?

Special hobby

For decades, Chairman Mao has been very busy, but he always finds time, even a minute, to study. His former residence in Zhongnanhai is a sea of books. Books are everywhere on the bookcase, desk, dining table and coffee table in the bedroom. All the beds are occupied by books except the place where one person lies.

In order to study, Chairman Mao spent all available time. A few minutes before swimming, I sometimes have to read some famous poems. After swimming, I forgot to rest, so I picked up the book again. He never wastes even a few minutes in the toilet. The book Selected Works of Zhaoming, the second edition of Song Xichun, and some other books and periodicals were completed intermittently by this time. Read a little today and a little tomorrow.

Chairman Mao often takes a box of books with him when he goes out for meetings or inspections. The train shook and bumped on the way, and he completely ignored it. He always keeps reading with a magnifying glass in one hand and a page in the other. In other places, like Beijing, there are books on the bed, desk, coffee table and dining table, which seem to be free.

Although Chairman Mao was seriously ill in his later years, he still insisted on studying. He reread a hardcover Complete Works of Lu Xun and many other books and periodicals published before liberation and brought to Beijing from Yan 'an.

On one occasion, Chairman Mao had a fever of over 39 degrees, and the doctor forbade him to read books. He said sadly, I have loved reading all my life, and now you don't let me study, and you make me lie here all day eating and sleeping. You know how hard it is for me! The staff had to put the books they had taken next to him, and he smiled happily.

Study hard and read again and again

Chairman Mao has never opposed the reading method that only seeks quick results. When he read the complete works of Han Changli's poems, except for a few chapters, he carefully pondered and studied them one by one, from vocabulary, sentence reading, chapters to the meaning of the full text. He can recite most of Han Ji's poems fluently through repeated reading and reciting. He read novels such as Journey to the West, Dream of Red Mansions, Outlaws of the Marsh and Romance of the Three Kingdoms in primary school and reread them in the 1960s. He has seen more than ten different versions of A Dream of Red Mansions. In the fifties, sixties and seventies, he read Selected Works of Zhaoming several times at school. There are three extant versions of his annotation.

He has read many books on Marxism-Leninism and philosophy. Li Da's History of the Communist Party of China and Outline of Sociology have been read ten times each. He has studied the Manifesto, Das Kapital and Selected Works of Lenin. Many chapters and paragraphs also have notes and sketches.

No pen and ink, no books.

For decades, every time Chairman Mao read a book or an article, he drew circles, bars, dots and other symbols in important places, and wrote a lot of comments in the eyebrows and blanks. Some also extract appropriate places in books and texts or write down reading notes or experiences at any time. Many of Chairman Mao's books are Zhu Mo, with symbols such as annotations, circles, sketches, straight lines, curves, double lines, three straight lines, double circles, three circles, triangles and forks everywhere.

Read everything

Chairman Mao's interest in reading is very extensive, and he reads books on philosophy, politics, economy, history, literature, military and other social sciences as well as some natural sciences.

Many of the books he has read are about history. Chairman Mao likes reading all kinds of Chinese and foreign historical books, especially those of China. From twenty-four histories, history as a mirror and historical records to various unofficial history, official history and historical romances. He has always advocated "making the past serve the present" and attached great importance to historical experience. In his works and speeches, he often quoted historical allusions from Chinese and foreign history books to vividly explain profound truth, and he often used historical experience and lessons to guide and treat today's revolutionary cause.

Chairman Mao also read many books about China literature. Read a lot!

Lu Xun chewed pepper to drive away the cold.

Mr. Lu Xun studied hard since he was a child. When I was a teenager, I attended Jiangnan Naval Academy and got excellent results in the first semester. The school awarded him a gold medal. He immediately took it to the street of Nanjing Gulou and sold it. Then he bought some books and a bunch of red peppers. Whenever it's cold at night and he can't stand reading at night, he picks a pepper and chews it in his mouth, making his forehead sweat. In this way, he insisted on studying. After studying hard, he finally became a famous writer in China.

A child who picks up shells.

/kloc-Rousseau, a French enlightenment thinker in the 0 th and 8 th centuries, has always opposed excessive reading.

At that time, some people in society never stopped after learning one knowledge to catch up with another. They only spend time learning other people's ideas, but have no time to exercise their own. As a result, knowledge has been learned, but intelligence has rarely increased.

Rousseau didn't like it very much. In his book Emile, he said that such a person "is like a child picking up shells on the beach. At first, he picked up some shells, but when he saw other shells, he wanted to pick them up again. As a result, he threw some and picked up some, and even picked up many shells. When he didn't know which one to choose, he had to throw them all away and go back empty-handed. "

King or study?

Macaulay, a famous historian, once wrote to a little girl that if someone wanted me to be the greatest king, living in a palace all my life, with gardens, delicious food, fine wine, a carriage, gorgeous clothes and hundreds of servants, I would never be king.

I would rather be a poor man and live in an attic with many books than an illiterate king. Lu Xun chewed pepper to drive away the cold.

Einstein's three-step reading method of "whole, divided and combined"

The so-called total is to form an overall impression of the book first. On the basis of browsing the preface, postscript, editing and other general things, read the table of contents carefully and get a general understanding of the structure, system, clue content and main points of the book.

The so-called "score" means reading the full text page by page on the basis of overall understanding, rather than word by word. In skimming, we should pay special attention to the key points in the book and the contents closely related to our own needs.

The so-called combination is to sort out and systematize the impressions obtained from reading the whole book, so that the viewpoints and materials can be organically combined. After careful consideration,

Comprehensively, clarify the internal relations of the whole book, so as to achieve the purpose of summing up, deepening and improving.

Lenin's reading story:

When he started reading, he ignored everything around him. Once, his sisters played a practical joke and built an unstable triangular tower with six chairs behind him.

It was not until half an hour later that he finished reading the chapter he was scheduled to read that he looked up and the wooden tower collapsed. ...
