Thirty, the way of reading
"How do you know?" Jiang Shuiyuan became even more curious.?????????? �
Jiang Shuiyuan naturally didn't know what happened when he was marking the papers, and he thought that the teacher Zhu in front of him had another secret method. His casual question naturally confirmed that he was the author of "Shui Zai Shuai". Zhu Qingjia sat down slowly, looked at Jiang Shuiyuan again, and then asked: "What books have you read in daily life? Chinese studies."
Jiang Shuiyuan hesitated and replied: "Does the "Four Books' Collection of Notes" and "Gu Wen Guanzhi" count?"
"Of course!" Zhu Qingjia replied with certainty, "The "Four Books and Chapters Collection" is the most important Neo-Confucian classic since the Southern Song Dynasty and one of Zhu Xi's most representative works; although "Gu Wen Guanzhi" was an enlightenment book selected for school students during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, it is now a preface for the introductory textbook of Chinese studies. Using these two books as stepping stones to learn Chinese studies is a dignified and extremely legitimate method for the predecessors! I just don't know who Jiang Shuiyuan is studying?"
"Who do you have to learn from me? You just watch it randomly." Jiang Shuiyuan answered truthfully.
"What? Self-taught?" The answer was too far from what Zhu Qingjia imagined, which made him feel a little unbelievable for a moment.
"Yes!" Jiang Shuiyuan nodded, "Don't the school have "Recommended Reading Books for Primary and Secondary School Students"? There are these two books in it. I usually read the book by the book when I am bored. I can't talk about self-study, just killing my time."
Zhu Qingjia calmed down and asked, "Then how well do you master these two books?"
This question made Jiang Shuiyuan hesitate. He remembered all the text content himself, but did he remember it equally? Obviously not! Especially the first book "The Collection of Chapters of the Four Books" was basically Zhu Bajie ate ginseng fruit - he didn't know the taste at all. So he hesitated for a moment before he replied vaguely: "You can barely know a little bit?"
Zhu Qingjia really wanted to know what "little bit" Jiang Shuiyuan said, so he asked a few questions about the "Four Books and Chapters Collection" he had just reviewed recently. As a result, he was familiar with the inner guard of the text. He could easily recite the following paragraph by just mentioning it at the beginning, but his meaning was not very clear. This also proves that he did not have guidance from the teacher and he was all based on himself.
Seeing that Jiang Shuyuan looked shy, Zhu Qingjia comforted: "Although these two books are introductory books for Chinese studies, they are rich in content and profound in meaning. Especially the "Four Books and Chapters Collection" is worth pondering and exploring for a lifetime. For example, Zhao Pu, the prime minister in the early Northern Song Dynasty, claimed to be "half of the Analects of Confucius" to rule the world", and "The Analects of Confucius" is just one of the four books. Many Neo-Confucian scholars in the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties took a scale and half of the claws from the Four Books, and then they could become famous masters. For example, the "conscience" of the master of mind Wang Yangming came from "Mencius", and the "suspected solitude" of Liu Zongzhou, a great scholar at the end of the Ming Dynasty, came from "The Great Learning". You are now at your age to memorize them in your heart, so don't worry about understanding them, because some principles are limited by age and experience. Even if you tell them now, it is difficult for you to understand them slowly, so it is better to understand them yourself and understand them deeply and thoroughly!"
Jiang Shuiyuan felt something when he heard this.
Zhu Qingjia asked again: "You have finished reading these two books, what books are you going to continue reading?"
What book should I look at next? Jiang Shuiyuan is a little confused. For him, books are divided into two categories. One is the teaching materials and aids, which are arranged by the school. He can read them one by one according to the class schedule; the other is extracurricular reading materials, which can extend their lifespan if you read too much. Jiang Shuiyuan does not refuse the latter kind of books, and he can read them with ease. Even my father's "Chemical Teaching Design and Case Study" and my mother's "Three Hundred Home-Cooked Methods" are doomed, but he has never thought about what book he is going to read next! He said stutteringly: "This... hasn't been thought about it yet!"
In an instant, the lights of "being a teacher" and "becoming the world's talents and educating them" flashed on Zhu Qingjia. He said with some sensation: "The teacher is constrained by his talent. Although he has achieved nothing in academics, he has been influenced by all these years and is still a bit insightful about reading. He especially admires Zeng Wenzheng's several experiences about reading. You might as well share them with you. First, you must have a root in your studies, that is, you must understand one or two books thoroughly in your youth. This kind of book is best a classic work that has been tempered through the past and the present. It is integrated and meticulous in your heart, and becomes the foundation for your future study.
"It's like marching and fighting. You must have a solid rear and loyal subordinates, and then send troops to fight the enemy so that you won't worry about defeating the war. What Zeng Wenzheng said about "building a tough camp and fighting to death" is actually a way to study and do academic research? If you don't have one or two classic works as the foundation, you can turn a few pages of what books are good when you see, and you don't want to understand them very much. In the end, you will only learn without roots and achieve nothing. You can recite the "Four Books Chapters and Sentences" and "Gu Wen Guanzhi" in a long way, which means that you are still doing a solid job in "learning has a foundation"!"
The river water source is slightly proud.
But Zhu Qingjia then changed the subject: "However, Zeng Wenzheng also said, "Young people read books as if they are simple, but seek them, and do not seek their essence." It sounds quite conflicting with "learning has a root". How do you understand this? What he means is that there will definitely be something you don't understand when reading. Not only beginners are like this, but even erudite scholars can make every word and sentence in the whole book without any hindrance. Therefore, after understanding one or two books as the foundation, you do not require full blame, but take advantage of your youth to read a lot of books, enrich your academic knowledge, and deepen your understanding of the basics of knowledge. At this time, you should read and read widely. You do not need to read carefully except for a few important books, otherwise you will not be able to read a few books in your life.
"But what books should you read widely? This is what Zeng Wenzheng said, "You must know what you choose when reading books." That is, you should choose books to read according to your hobbies and interests and academic directions. Otherwise, all kinds of books in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad are vast. Even if you stay awake, how many can you read in a hundred years? And after determining the direction, you still have to continue to choose which books to read first, carefully, and which books to read. In the process of selecting books, you must rely on your own eyesight and the wisdom of your predecessors.
"Take Chinese studies as an example, you can use the "Siku Quanshu General Catalogue Summary" or "Question of Bibliography" by Duke Wenxiang of Zhang (Zhang Zhidong)" to answer questions. When the teacher was in college, he heard that in the old days, the children of Jiangnan began to read, and their parents and teachers would ask them to read the "Siku Quanshu General Catalogue Summary" first. This book has two hundred volumes, and the catalogue contains introductions of various books. Reading it can tell what knowledge there were in the past world of Qianlong, what detailed books there are in the four major categories of books, including classics, history, and the academic schools, and the general evolution of these academic schools... In this way, we have a general understanding of the old knowledge, and we have a summary in our mind, knowing which books there are, knowing how to find books, and how to find materials, which will be of great benefit to future study and study."
Jiang Shuiyuan silently recorded the titles of "Siku Quanshu General Catalogue" and "Biography Answers".
Zhu Qingjia also said: "And Mr. Zeng Wenzheng also has a high opinion of reading methods, that is, 'reading the same book', that is, if you have not finished reading a book, you will never read the second one, otherwise you can read it from beginning to end. All the views and opinions in the book are fragmented, and you can only use it for chatting and laughing after dinner, and you cannot use it for study. Furthermore, even if you read the same book, you must set a progress for yourself, such as reading one volume every day, two volumes or thirty pages or fifty pages, and you cannot fish for three days and two days for the Internet. Mr. Zeng Wenzheng was busy with official duties back then, so he had to read ten pages of the "Twenty-Three Histories" every day!"
Jiang Shuiyuan asked, "With Teacher Zhu's opinion, what book should I read next?"
Zhu Qingjia pondered for a moment: "Of course it is best to read the "Siku Quanshu General Catalogue Summary", but the volumes are too large and the high school academic pressure is so great, I'm afraid you won't have the patience to read it. So you can put the "Siku Quanshu General Catalogue Summary" in college and read a few basic books, such as "The Book of Songs", "Three Hundred Tang Poetry", historical ones such as "Zuo Zhuan", "Records of the Grand Historian", philosophical ones such as "Laozi" and "Zhuangzi". These are just my suggestions to you. You still need to decide which book to choose based on your interests and hobbies."
"Thank you for your advice from the teacher. I will consider it carefully and choose it carefully." Jiang Shuiyuan bowed to Zhu Qingjia, "If there is nothing, I will go to class first!"
Zhu Qingjia was immersed in the comfort of guiding the backwards, and at this time he replied casually: "Okay, then you go back!" He realized when Jiang Shuiyuan walked to the door: "Come back! You little bastard, almost fooled me. We have not finished our business yet! What are you going?"
Jiang Shuiyuan turned around embarrassedly and giggled a few times: "I forgot that incident, teacher, you must have forgotten too!"
"Stop talking nonsense, come here quickly!" Zhu Qingjia laughed and scolded: "The teacher teaches you so much extracurricular knowledge for free. Can't you repay the teacher? Besides, this class monitor is still temporary? And if you don't be this class monitor, who else dares to take on this important task? Wouldn't it be a laughing stock for other students?"
"Why did it become a laughing stock?"
"For example, the students in Jianjiang Shuiyuan don't want anything left, such as those who dare to be the class monitor if they are not good at grades, and so on! So for the sake of the teacher and other students, you will reluctantly hold on for a few days!"
"How many days?"
"It's only a few days, at most it's only a month!"
Chapter completed!
