Examples of not seeking to understand, examples of celebrities not seeking to understand

not to seek to understand things thoroughly; to be content with superficial understanding

Tao Yuanming's "Biography of Mr. Wuliu" is based on his own situation: "Good reading, don't seek to understand; Every time I have a feeling, I happily forget to eat. It means that reading only seeks to grasp the gist, and does not deliberately work on the words. This kind of comprehension of the essence and opposition to the cumbersome scriptures since the Han Dynasty is very desirable.

Read the book by yourself to see the essence of the book, look at the author's intention, and do not study the literal biting words, those boring things such as imaginary words and real words that are now popular in Chinese teaching.

The method of reading depends on what your purpose is and what your requirements are. For example, if my generation is studying to cultivate sentiment or entertain themselves, we should use "not seeking to understand" as a means to avoid suffering their minds for "seeking to understand", and to make it fast but not reach, but it is not beautiful.

Xiao Ming is a child who thinks he is very smart, and when the teacher is in class, he always listens to a half-understood and can't sit still, so he makes some small moves at the bottom and whispers to the classmates at the next table, and passes notes to the classmates at the distant table.

The teacher asked him to ask questions, and he was always confident! But as soon as I finished reading the question, I was dumbfounded, and just now I thought "this question is simple, I will do it", but now I have no idea at all.

The above is an example of my understanding of not seeking to understand, many children have this problem during their school days, and I am no exception, and I am probably my own example

Paraphrase. Even: excessive, very, extreme; Such as:"Too much deception"。

Nowadays, it mostly refers to not being serious in studying, not being able to deeply understand or not having an in-depth understanding of the situation, which is a typical difference between ancient and modern.

Tao Yuanming once served as Peng Zeling, but his heart has never really entered the officialdom. A "Return and Preface" and a "Peach Blossom Spring" fully show his indifferent nature and the ideal of returning to simplicity. Tao Yuanming lived in the countryside for many years after his resignation, and lived a leisurely life of "ploughing and planting, and reading my books when he was still reading", "drinking spring wine happily, picking vegetables in my garden", "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, and leisurely seeing Nanshan".

But Tao Yuanming is different from ordinary farmers who work at sunrise and rest at sunset, he has more of a spiritual life than farmers. In addition to farming every day, reading books and writing are accompanied, accompanied by poetry and wine, looking for spiritual sustenance from a leisurely life, and tasting the joy of life.

It can be seen from Tao Yuanming's poems that reading is also an important part of Tao Yuanming's life in rural life. In addition to farming, he reads. Regarding reading, Tao Yuanming has a high argument that is very different from others:

Good reading, don't seek to understand. Every time I have a feeling, I happily forget to eat. These words often confuse the literati who persuade future generations to study hard, "happily forgetting to eat" can indeed be called good reading, but if you don't seek to understand it, can it also be associated with good reading?

Actually, there are different ways to read books. Different purposes and different ways of reading, as a set of symbolic systems for expression and communication, the meaning of words is often multi-layered. Word for word, seeking literal meaning, can only be said to be a kind of reading at the most shallow level; Using logical analysis, we can only grasp one concept, and it is boring and cramped.

Words and symbols constitute language, language is arranged into an article, and the richness of its meaning is far more than adding word by word, and words are combined into articles, which can form an artistic conception, an atmosphere, and a momentum, and it also has the beauty and charm of art.

Lu You, who admired Tao Yuanming's personality and knowledge, can be called a master of reading "understanding", and he has left many poems about reading, such as "Zhou Yi is in illness, but he wants to leave the sao when he is drunk", "Study Zhu and point Zhou Yi, drink and read the sao". "I Ching" and "Lisao" are books that Lu You never gets tired of reading, but Lu You's way of reading "I Ching" and "Lisao" are very different. To read the Book of Changes, you must hold your breath, circle the pen with a red pen, and understand the meaning of the book.

Lu You regards the Book of Changes as a good medicine for diseases, and when he reads it during his illness, he can have an attitude, conform to nature, and be happy to know the destiny of heaven. Reading "Lisao" can wander thousands of miles, wanton wild, not obsessed with words, while drinking, chanting, in the drunken and hazy and delirious in the appreciation and understanding of the true interest.

For readers, most of the reading is not to find answers in books, but to communicate through reading, looking for resonance and spiritual fit. To find the spiritual fit, we need to mobilize the reader's own creativity to the greatest extent, only the "understanding" of reading, there is a sense of soul, only the perception of the soul, there is a sense of artistic beauty beyond utilitarianism, in order to achieve the realm of reading elegance.

Don't ask for a solution. First of all, when reading a book, we must grasp the spiritual reality, do not pick out the words and sentences, seek the surface and then give examples and arguments, do not be arrogant and conceited, self-righteous, and cannot read to death, but must understand the spiritual essence of the classics. Don't be stubborn and chew the words, but be coherent and understand the carelessness.

Reading must not be so-so, very unserious. It is also necessary to read carefully, but not to pick out every word, not to lose the big because of the small, and not to give up the whole for a certain part. Finally, experience has shown that important books must be read over and over again, and each time you read them, you will find it beneficial to open them.

Talk about reading. First of all, he rejected the view that "it is not good to seek a solution to any problem", then analyzed the correct attitude of the ancients in reading, then gave an example to demonstrate the correct attitude towards reading, and then explained that the book focuses on recalling important books, and if you can't read them, you must read them repeatedly.

Not seeking to understand means that reading only seeks to understand the essence, does not focus on word-by-word explanations, does not contain derogatory meanings, and the idiom is detailed as follows:

1. Basic interpretation: do not seek to understand is a ** idiom in historical stories, idioms related to allusions first came from Jin Taoqian's "Biography of Mr. Wuliu", the original meaning of not seeking to understand is to read only to understand the refinement, not to focus on the explanation of one word and one sentence, without derogatory, after referring to the attitude of learning or work is not serious, do not seek in-depth understanding, but also refers to the understanding of the situation is not deep, with derogatory meaning, in the sentence can be used as a predicate, definite, adverbial.

2. The source of the idiom: Mr. does not know who rents a shed and is stupid, and he does not know his surname; There are five willow trees next to the house, because I think it is a number. Quiet and quiet, do not admire Rongli. Good reading, don't seek to understand. Every time I have a feeling, I happily forget to eat. Later generations refined it into the idiom "do not seek to understand".

3. Idiom story: Tao Yuanming was a poet in the last years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in China, he created the pastoral poetry style, and also opened up another realm of ancient Chinese and classical poetry. Tao Yuanming is noble and indifferent to fame and fortune.

When he was the county magistrate of Pengze, he sent a ** down to inspect, and the lower-level officials in the county asked him to dress properly to greet him. Tao Yuanming said angrily, how can I bend my waist to the children in the village for five buckets of rice, and then resign and return to my hometown to continue to live a poor life.

4. Idiom implication: The essential characteristic of Tao Yuanming's character is the pursuit of the greatest freedom of the soul and the leisure and elegance of the mentality, and the life of Shi Eun does not conform to his nature of advocating nature. Tao Yuanming lived in an era of advocating freedom and prevailing metaphysics, and political usurpation and killing made it easy for scholars who sought to avoid disasters to form a hidden character.

The formation of Tao Yuanming's reclusive temperament should be said to be related to the general envy of the literati of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the pursuit of the freedom of the gods.
