Lu Xun once wrote an article on the method of reading. Lu Xun believes that there are four systematic reading methods. The first three are not difficult, the last one requires skill. If you can reach the fourth reading level, you will definitely be able to become a family.
The first is to add Zhuxian, that is, to draw a line next to the text when reading. Although the line is drawn, it is also important. Otherwise, how can a book be painted in a mess? Therefore, Lu Xun believes that the pen and color of Tianzhu line are particularly important. In terms of Chinese texts, red is used for good articles; blue is used for admirable ideas. When reading Western books, it is best to draw the underline (UNDERLINE), followed by circles (circle good paragraphs of articles, or even circle the entire page), and the third is the straight line beside the page.
There is an advantage to using different colored strokes when reading, and the key points have been brought up where you have read. When reviewing in the future, there is no need to start from scratch, because the main ideas have already been screened out in the first reading.
The second is to read while excerpting, and make a best book. In today's words, it is to take notes on book excerpts. Book excerpts and notes help readers understand, experience, and enter the depths of the author's thinking logic, and master the author's mode of thinking. A good article can also improve the reader's writing skills virtually. While copying excerpts, it is also a good writing practice.
However, this kind of reading method is mostly used for writing reports or professional reading, and is not suitable for leisure reading in leisure time, otherwise it will ruin reading Yaxing.
The third is re-reading, which is to re-read those books that have already been taken notes and extracted from the essence. Rereading the same book at different ages can often lead to new experiences, and this is especially true of classics. Persistent re-reading, will be able to find countless treasures. Another benefit of rereading is that it helps memory. Especially reread books that have been highlighted and excerpted notes before rereading.
Using these three points is more than enough for preparing for an exam or writing a report. However, if you want to continue to focus on specific topics, Lu Xun suggested that a fourth reading method must be adopted. This method stems from Gibbon, the famous historian who wrote about the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. Lu Xun did not give a name, but the author thinks it can be full of "similar principles".
This method is mostly used in the field of reading when there is continuous interest in a specific topic. When a reader obtains the latest publication in a related field, he does not directly enter the content of the book, but first glances at the structure and general content of the whole book, and then puts it down. book, think for yourself. If it were you, how would you write this book?
Stay away from this book as much as possible. Maybe go for a walk. Then think about how you will organize the articles in this book, how to ask questions, break questions, argue, and why? How to win people's trust? Unless you have a certain degree of certainty about such mental gymnastics, you will not read that book.
This approach to reading is important when dealing with a book that deals with the same issues as you but may have a completely different argument. The advantage is that you can establish your own opinions and arguments on the basis of existing readings, and know where the new book in front of you will be classified as a professional field.
After you have a clear position, you can then face the new book according to your own ideas and positions, and have a dialogue with the concepts and evidence in the book. This way, you will not be attracted or influenced by the ideas and arguments in the book. It is very helpful for reading and studying. It can prevent yourself from being pulled away by beautiful new ideas, or be overwhelmed by tomes of bricks and bricks. It is a calm and heavy reading method to be able to calmly and face new ideas with the original foundation. It is very recommended.
