Reading is for happiness, to enjoy the pleasant feeling of being slapped on the head, like an enlightenment, which we are deeply involved in and cannot extricate ourselves from.

Reading is not a pastime.

British writer Somerset Maugham said: Reading is a portable refuge. Since it is a refuge, a place that protects us from the wind and rain, we cannot read for utilitarian purposes or for the sake of reading.

Swiss writer Keller said that a book is like a ship, taking us from a narrow place to the infinite ocean of life. Books broaden our horizons, improve our cognition, and extend our horizons.

Mr. Yang Jiang said: I think studying is like visiting a house - an "invisible" visit. There is no need to say hello in advance, you can directly enter the hall; and you can go often and at any time. If you don't get the point, you can leave without saying goodbye, or simply hire someone else.

Whose house should we visit?

The classical teacher said that instead of reading best-selling books, you should store them for a while first. Best-sellers are not necessarily long-selling books. Good books, like Pu'er, are best consumed after being stored for a while.

Mr. Liang Xiaosheng wrote in "Reading is the Most Worthy Thing":

Children should read more entertaining, happy, fun and imaginative books. books, and the charm of imagination is generated in discussions.

Young people should read some history books, at least modern history, and understand the living conditions, how and how Chinese people lived from the 1950s to the 1990s. You need to know what the concept of happiness was back then. This will give you a new perspective on the meaning of life.

Middle-aged people should read some poetry and prose. Although life is not easy, we should also read some temperamental readings, which are less utilitarian.

When you reach the age of "knowing destiny", you should read less about Machiavellian tactics and more about those who are indifferent to fame and fortune. You can even read some youth books. As grandparents, you can communicate with your children in their own language instead of being friends from other generations.

Since you are going to "visit", you have to bring some gifts - go to school with questions.

We are about to read "Heart Like Bodhi". Let's take a look at the gifts prepared by the classical teacher for us:

1. Why should we read biographies?

2. Why should you read Cao Dewang

3. What will you gain from reading this book

4. 3 reminders for reading this book

5. What will happen to us? Read this book.

It will be a great honor for us to bring these gifts to visit.

I believe that books will give us many gifts in return - giving us new knowledge and new thinking.

Brother Chi also wrote in his article: Reading is like building a house. We must first lay the foundation and build the skeleton. Let’s start with who this book is written for, what problem it solves, and what method it uses.

Reading is to come with questions and leave with thoughts. This is a worthwhile trip.

Reading is like making friends. Reciprocity and constant exchanges are the most meaningful exchanges and valuable reading.

Liang Xiaosheng said: The purpose of reading is not to achieve great achievements, but to give you an inner strength when you are knocked back to your original shape by life and fall into the quagmire.

I want to read, especially to make myself happier and purer.

Because "the books are as affectionate as old friends, and we are always close to each other in the morning and dusk with joy and sorrow. There are three thousand words in front of me, and there is not a speck of dust in my chest."
