Read a book with questions
Confucius was criticized twice in the 20th century. The first time was "Down with the Confucian Family" at the beginning of the century, and the second time was the "Criticism of Confucius" in the 70s. Since Confucianism was established as a national study in the Han Dynasty, only in the 20th century, Mr. Confucius was smeared on a large scale. The most funny thing about "criticizing Lin and criticizing Kong" in the 70s was to wipe on the face of the old man Kong. To criticize Confucius and Lin Biao together is a great joke of Chinese history. Lin Biao is not a simple person, but the two of them can't be put together. When Lin Biao was criticized that year, there was a crime in it, Lin Biao said that when reading Chairman Mao's works, he should read them with questions. This sentence was regarded as slandering Mao's thoughts.
In fact, this is a very pertinent sentence, people from all walks of life across the country should read Chairman Mao's books in light of their own work reality. Some problems encountered in your work can't be solved by yourself, so read Chairman Mao's books and use Mao's thoughts to help you solve them.
Reading with questions is a person who can read. How can a person who has a blank mind or a lump of paste read a book well. As mentioned earlier, reading is taking a boat, and if a person has no clear destination in his heart, without a clear other shore, which boat do you go to take?
You can't read everything, and the more you read, the better, it's like eating, just having enough to eat. Don't eat everything, be right with your appetite and be able to choose. Zheng Banqiao also said a quasi-couplet, which is very vivid: "The twelve parts of the Five Classics, the Twenty-first History, and the Tibetan Classics, if you read every sentence, you are a fool; "Su Shi said that to write first-class articles, you must memorize three books, "Mencius", "Zhuangzi" and "Historical Records". Jin Shengsi's book list is six, "Zhuangzi", "Historical Records", "Lisao", "The Legend of the West Chamber", "Water Margin" and "Du Fu's Poems". The two of them are all based on the premise of writing good articles. Let's take a look at the bibliography involved in the "Study of the Three Regional Literary Scholars of the Tang Dynasty": "Historical Records", "Book of Han", "Book of Song", "Book of Wei", "Book of Sui", "Book of Old Tang", "Book of New Tang Dynasty", "Yu Gong", "Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Notes on the Book of Water", "Chronicles of Wu County", "Records of Wu Di", "Jiatai Hui Ji Zhi", "Examination of the Beijing City of the Tang Dynasty", "Henan Chronicles", "Guanzhong Shengji Pictorial", "Chronology of Tang Fangzhen", "Yuan Bai Poetry Manuscript", "Outline of National History" and so on. There are quite a few more books involved, and I don't read them anymore.
These books stand out for two highlights:
1. These books are all for the purpose of writing this book to read, and the work is very detailed, very specific, and very in-depth, and each book is very clear, complicated but not chaotic. There is a commonly used word called prosperity, which describes the state of society. The meaning of this word should be studied, chaos has no sense of order, and it is not called prosperity. Farmers planting cotton and corn, after the emergence of seedlings, to pull out some of them, to maintain the seedlings between the seedlings and the row spacing, to ensure that each tree can fully grow. In the next growth process, if the seedlings are "crazy", they must control the momentum of growth, and they cannot blindly grow "bodies". The purpose of planting crops is to raise grain, and every seedling grows into a stupid big man, and the nutrients are given to the body, which looks good, but affects the grain production. This is also a kind of just eating but not practicing. Is it now fashionable to say that society is prosperous, economic, and culturally prosperous, but has it really been prosperous? Is there a clear sense of order in it? Now it is fashionable to say "readjusting the economic structure." Think about what this means?
Second, these books are basically "raw materials", and there are very few so-called "theoretical" books, as if only two or three classical literary works are involved, and I don't remember very well. Good wine is made from raw materials and grains, and the blended wine is not delicious.
Nowadays there is a word on the Internet, called "academic gutter oil". It refers to some things found from the foreign "academic market" or in the corner, the east and the west get some and blend together, not to mention the value and quality of this kind of "masterpiece" things, at least the things are not enough. I am convinced of Mr. Li Hao's book, firstly, because of his solid efforts, and secondly, his rigorous academic attitude.
