Is it like a breeze around you, sending you to the world, overlooking the distance and overlooking your life?
Is it like a magic medicine that turns the bones in your throat into nectar and nourishes your soul?
Is it like the light from the sky, pushing your closed heart away and making you compassionate to all beings?
Whether there is a person, across the mountain, across the sea, across time and space, connected with your soul.
Reading The Method of Reading gives me the feeling that it opens a door for you, which is full of treasures and dazzling. Then it takes you close to these treasures and savors them. Later, I quietly sent you a small kit, which read: "This thing comes from the unreal cave at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. This is an example. If you want to enjoy it, you can go. "
The title "The Method of Reading" actually feels a bit ordinary in today's face value control. Later, I thought about it, maybe this is the simple way for Luo Pang! But also because of my confidence in myself. Indeed, in the New Year speech in 2022, facing the empty seat of 12000, Luo Pang can still shock our hearts with 53 stories of "I can still do this", and the underlying logic will always be his magic weapon to win.
So, there is no doubt that as soon as the new book comes out, I will start. Although I read the page, I was still surprised. This is not a simple method. This is obviously the tunnel of the soul. You follow him slowly. Where the light shines, the Buddha blooms and Ye Jia smiles. Luo Zhenyu said that he had been preparing for this book all his life. I believe this!
In the recommendation, I said, please don't read word for word from beginning to end. This book is suitable for reading like drawing lots and unpacking blind boxes. So I picked a few blind boxes that I liked better, and the results were very pleasant.
The above is the name of a subtitle used by Luo Pang. I've been thinking hard, and there's really nothing more suitable.
When Julius Caesar led an army into Rome, he defeated his political opponent Pompeii and won unprecedented glory in history. However, how did he know the ending of the story? Five years later, 14 assassin took advantage of his unsuspecting situation and killed him. A generation of emperors died at the foot of the statue of Pompeii.
Is it really like Zweig said: "All the gifts given by fate have been priced in the dark."
In 626 AD, Xuanwu Gate staged a tragedy in which the royal family seized office. Prince Li was killed and Gao Zu Li Yuan was forced to abdicate. Compared with other rebels in history, Li Shimin achieved complete success, and then the rule of Zhenguan became an emperor through the ages. But whatever the cost, we may need to go to Li Shimin's spiritual world to find the truth.
He must reuse the prince's will to show his mind, the minister must be humble to show his wisdom, and Liaodong must conquer to show his efforts. These are confessions written on the bloody tragic floor. Even the Xuanwu gate incident made his sons feel insecure. When he passed it on to the king of Jin, he was forced to commit suicide.
I wonder if Caesar or Taizong regretted his choice at the end of his life. If life were to start over, would you still make such a choice? Perhaps, just see the cost of choice more clearly!
The advantage of reading is that after wandering in other people's stories, we will press the button of our choice more carefully. Because each bond does not exist independently, one choice will trigger another. We always think that we can imagine the ending, but often there is another ending after the ending.
I like a happy ending.
Jin Yong's Tian Ba Long Bu is not only a vivid story, but also a multiple-choice question about life. Xiao Feng chose to live an upright life, but lost his own life. Mu Rongfu chose Jiangshan, but lost her beauty. Xu Zhu chose the ancient Buddha in Deng Qing, but he ended up in a gentle hometown. However, the person with the best ending in the story is Duan Yu, who chose the love relationship, especially the love relationship between men and women. Facts have proved that no ambition is also a feasible choice.
Those excellent scenery are on the road that few people walk. On this road, what you can't lose is your initial heart.
"I took the old cloth, walked alone, lived in poor rivers and sands, went to Kunlun, traveled all over the western regions, and won the title. I became four with three people, and I don't hate it. "
Xu Xiake said, I am a common people, a crutch and two shoes. Can go so far, and Zhang Qian, Xuanzang, Yelu Chucai. I die without regret!
Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions, Xuanzang went west to learn from the scriptures, and Lu Ye made a brilliant expedition to the West. Only Xu Xiake, purely to see in the distance.
Once a person chooses from his own heart, it seems that the whole world will make way for him.
A 26-year-old girl, with a notebook and binoculars, plunged into the jungle of Africa to study chimpanzees just because of her love for animals. She doesn't even have a professional background Some people say that she won't last three months, and then, decades later, Cambridge University awarded her a doctorate, and the Queen of England awarded her the Imperial Medal ... She is the British zoologist-Jane Goode.
She won't think of it when she leaves. It is precisely because of the guidance of interest that I broke through all the way and finally boarded the glory platform that attracted everyone's attention, illuminating the originally impassable road. They don't want to go far away, they just share weal and woe.
Reading can help us see clearly the consequences of choices, see clearly the neglected options, and let us see the infinite possibilities of life in the current predicament. I think this is the comfort that reading gives us!
"Mr. Fan travels with two horses and two mules, and carries books with him." Gu, a great scholar, took mules, horses and cars and began to travel around the world after the Qing army entered the customs. Investigate the geography of mountains and rivers and compare it with the book.
Some people say that Wan Li Road is not as good as studying in thousands of books. People also say that there is always a body and a soul on the road. But can Wan Li Road really leave thousands of books? Is the soulless body really on the road?
What can we find in the book about distance?
Kaifeng is an ordinary city in the Central Plains. But, you know what? Thousands of years ago, this was the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty-the capital of Tokyo Bianliang. Most of the sights of 1000 years ago have disappeared, but the great Suoguo Temple still exists today.
When a scholar walks to the door of Suoguo Temple, you will think of Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng selling clothes, buying some antiques at Suoguo Temple and going home for tasting. When you go to the backyard, you will remember pulling weeping willows here. I will also think that the painter Wu Daozi painted Manjusri Bodhisattva here, and there are also many literati such as Ouyang Xiu and Su Shi.
If we don't know this, Suoguo Temple is a building. If we know, it is a kind of amorous feelings in our eyes. The purpose of traveling far away is self-remoulding, which is a deep humanistic interaction.
Reading can also travel far, see mountains, water and customs. Across mountains, across water, across time and space.
Xiong Yi said in "Travel Notes Lying on Paper" that I think philosophers who design utopia for human beings, like me, indulge in fantasy, soar to the height of heaven in the clouds of sunny days and starry nights, or "put in the Tao" like Zhuangzi, and pin their mica-like talents and sorrows on the pictures of clouds and stars.
We will go to Wan Li with the northern ghost fish in tell it to the judge, and we will go to see "Xingming Duck and Goose" with the lovely couple in The Book of Songs. We can also enjoy the loneliness of the soul in the treasures of civilization such as the Bible and the Tripitaka.
Isn't reading the same as traveling? It is a transcendence of our original life.
There is a saying in The Analects that "a gentleman likes virtue, while a villain likes earth". Cherish the soil, that is, drown its safety. Therefore, a person can't indulge in his own environment, constantly surpass himself, and cherish virtue forever in order to become a gentleman.
This is the meaning of reading and traveling!
The above words were said by Xiaohua, and I deeply agree.
People always say "reading changes fate". But have we ever thought about how reading changes our destiny? If you just accumulate knowledge, will your ability really improve? According to this logic, what is the difference between man and machine? This reasoning seems a little rough.
Sima Qian once wrote the same sentence twice in Historical Records: "I want to see him as a man", once about Confucius and once about Qu Yuan.
Most of the books we have read will be forgotten. But some things will definitely stay in our memory. People we used to like, respect and be interesting and the way they do things will stay somewhere and have a far-reaching impact on us.
Yu Yu Qiu said in a gentleman's way:
In fact, knowledge often changes fate through a medium-personality.
Those things that shock our souls will definitely make us feel a kind of light and strength. In this influence, our lives are constantly iteratively upgraded.
Luo Zhenyu "got" the Beijing headquarters of APP, which has two largest conference rooms. Luo Pang called them Cai Yuanpei and Zhang Yuanji.
Mr Cai Yuanpei is the first generation of modern educators in China. He once told such a story in Cai Yuanpei's My Experience in Peking University.
During his tenure as president of Peking University, he dismissed several foreign teachers recommended by the China Embassy. A French teacher sued him, and a British teacher asked John Newell Jordan, the British ambassador to China, to negotiate. Mr. Cai Yuanpei does not agree to be re-employed. When John Newell Jordan went out, he said, "Cai Yuanpei doesn't want to be the principal any more." Mr. Wang laughed it off. This is the bottom line of a generation of educators.
Zhang Yuanji is one year older than Cai Yuanpei, and he is also a scholar of Guangxu Renchenke (1892). He was born in the Qing Dynasty and is an academician. He is engaged in publishing. He gave up publishing street tabloids and popular novels, but insisted on publishing textbooks, sorting out traditional classics and introducing western academic works.
Of these two choices, it seems that the former is more commercially valuable, while the latter seems to be just a feeling. But the result is just the opposite: The Commercial Press led by Zhang Yuanji not only took the latter road, but also achieved great success in business.
Luo Zhenyu named his conference room after these two gentlemen, just to remind himself to stick to principles and not forget his initiative.
We all need such a gentleman's light to guide our lives. The ancient sages have passed away, but China has a long history of 5,000 years. Those fleeting meteors that cut through the historical sky have always left that perfect arc in the historical memory. As time goes by, they still shine.
The influence of a good book is the same as that of this gentleman. He either asked us to reflect on ourselves in the complex human nature, or pointed us in the direction when we were confused and helpless.
At this time, brightly lit, thousands of lights, like eternal starlight, illuminate the world.
Close the book, but my thoughts are still wandering in the endless treasure in the book. As the saying goes, "there is a road in the mountains, but there is no limit to learning the sea." But Luo Pang said that reading should not be a mountain, but a net. I was impressed after I was amazed.
If reading is regarded as a struggle to climb a mountain, the burden is heavier and the degree of relaxation is lower. If reading is a big net, we can jump around at our favorite nodes, and what we meet here can still be reunited elsewhere; I missed it at this time, but I can still meet it at that time.
Good, good. I hope that every book is not only a kind of reading for us, but also a kind of outlook leading to the forefront and classics. Let us "look back at Chang 'an, where embroidery piles up and the top of the mountain opens a thousand times", and the environment is connected and endless.
