Book and life

Books are the witness of history, the shaping of culture, the treasure house of knowledge, the crystallization of wisdom, and the symbol of a nation and a country showing civilization. Reading is the call of the times, the revelation of history, the requirement of duty and the proof of a nation and a country's great rejuvenation. Therefore, great men and mentors "urge everyone to learn everywhere", and they repeatedly advocate and exhort: "learn, learn and learn again"; Even though the sages of past dynasties lived in mean alleys, drank delicious food, stole lamps and reflected snow, they did not change their pursuit of reading.

This book seems silent, but when you read it, you can hear wind, rain, thunder, laughter, crying, shouting, gunshots, guns, killings and sounds; It seems that there is no color, but it feels full of flowers and colorful; It seems tasteless, but in fact it is bitter, sweet, sour and salty. Reading has great magic!

Reading can cure fools, enlighten wisdom, cultivate self-cultivation and promote morality. It is a method of self-cultivation and a bath of the soul. The ancients said: "People's hearts are like fertile fields, and they grow when they are raised. The seedlings are irrigated by water springs, and their hearts are raised by reason. " Goncharov said: "Reading and learning is the constant nutrition of thought and the infinite development of thought." Reading a good book with excellent ideological and artistic quality is like talking to a noble philosopher, which can enlighten your wisdom and purify your mind. Just like eating an advanced "nutrition" to make up for the needs of your body; It's like taking a magic pill to heal the wounds in your heart; Just like drinking a cup of fragrant and delicious tea, it makes you more refreshed and combative; Just like taking a "ship of ideas", it can take you from a narrow harbor to a vast sea; It's like opening a window of life and letting you see an incredible new world. "Wisdom is the foundation of virtue" and "Reading is virtue". From The Analects of Confucius, we learned wisdom, from Historical Records, we learned the spirit of seeking truth, and from Song Zhengqi, we realized the greatness of personality. ...

Reading can increase knowledge, talent and strength. It is the energy of success and the capital of starting a business. Throughout the ages, many politicians, thinkers, militarists, scientists, artists, entrepreneurs and accomplished workers have been diligent and persistent, thus embarking on the road to success. In Song Dynasty, Lu You was fond of books, so he named his study "Book Nest" and took "thousands of books will never be seen in ancient and modern times, and a window will faint and send a fleeting time" as the motto, and became the greatest poet with the most poems in China. In the Qing Dynasty, Ji Xiaolan called himself a bookworm with the motto of "floating and sinking the official sea as a gull, life and death as a stupid fish", and eventually became a great scholar and editor-in-chief of Sikuquanshu.

Reading can keep pace with the times, broaden oneself, improve oneself, enrich oneself and improve oneself, which is the need of expanding and updating global cultural and scientific knowledge and the requirement of knowledge economy and social development. In today's world, scientific progress is changing with each passing day, and knowledge updating is accelerating unprecedentedly. There are many new situations to be familiar with, many new knowledge to learn and many new fields to explore. Those who were knowledgeable yesterday will fall behind if they are not diligent today. History always advances in the process of constantly putting forward and solving problems, which determines our quality, level and ability, and is always in a dynamic process from adaptation to inadaptability and then to new adaptation. It also determines that continuous study and lifelong study are the necessary foundation and the only way for us to make contributions. In this regard, many revolutionary predecessors have set a brilliant example for us. Comrade Mao Zedong was knowledgeable and insisted on "studying hard" in his old age. 1975, he is 82 years old. He also reread Twenty-four History, some articles by Lu Xun, and magazines such as Archaeology Magazine, Historical Research and Dialectics of Nature. Even a few hours before his heart stopped beating, he was unable to speak, and he motioned for the staff to read to him.

Reading can delight the mind and nourish nature, which is a kind of spiritual enjoyment and a way of keeping in good health. Montesquieu, an ancient scholar, put it well: "liking reading is equivalent to turning a lonely time in life into a moment of great enjoyment." Zheng Chenggong, a famous national hero, once wrote a couplet: "If you want to raise your heart, it is like reading." Qian Qiri in Ming Dynasty: "A single book can cure the customs in the chest." Open the book, smell the book, put aside material desires, forget honor and disgrace, stay away from worldly affairs and disputes, such as the eclipse of leaves in spring and the moistening of things in spring rain. Although the world around you is chaotic and noisy, although daily work and life give you pressure and unpleasant things make you upset, once you plunge into the sea of books, your impetuous heart will gradually calm down and settle down after being edified by books, and your tired heart will gradually become relaxed and detached. You can hear sounds that you can't usually hear, and you can feel things that you can't usually feel. The spiritual world will no longer be boring and desolate, thus becoming more substantial, more inclusive and calm; Life will no longer be weak and lacking, thus becoming healthier and younger. Then make you feel happy, enjoy it and revel in it.

Friend, read a book! The happiest thing in life is reading, the richest thing in life is reading, and the most beautiful, authentic and beautiful thing in life is reading.
