Does reading focus on the accumulation of quantity or in depth excavation?

The accumulation of quantity and in-depth excavation are not contradictory in themselves, and can be completely parallel. It's like eating: eating more and savoring deeply, there is no contradiction.

Let's get to the point first. I think the subject's "just look and forget" is normal. Remembering is a legendary skill.

Most people read a book and don't understand it. Improve your understanding of a book. Two ways.

First, read it slowly. Most of the poor conversion rates of information are due to the fact that many concepts and logic are sloppy before they are understood by reading too quickly. Second, re-read.

Good books stand up to rereading. On the merits, that's my conclusion. As for "accumulation of quantity" and "deep mining", in fact, "accumulation of quantity" is about the same as "more extensive learning", and "deep mining" is about the same as "further thinking", which of course also includes rereading.

The sage said that if you learn without thinking, you will be reckless, and if you think without learning, you will die. Therefore, the accumulation of quantity and in-depth excavation are complementary to each other.

But the sage also said, "It is better for me to think all day long, than to learn in a moment." Many of you have probably had a similar experience. I have thought a lot, and I feel that my experience is very profound; As a result, when I checked and read it, I found that what I had thought about had been thought about by my predecessors, and it was said thoroughly.

Many of you have probably had a similar experience. Reading a book, thinking about it repeatedly, I have some vague experience; But when I occasionally read the notes and comments of other famous artists, I found that "hey, you can still think from this angle", and suddenly it dawned on me. There is not only one angle to understand things.

Looking at it from a broader perspective is actually the best way to "dig deeper". The breadth of reading, to a large extent, will enhance your depth. You just read Mr. Cha Liangzheng's translation of Pushkin, and you just think it's good; If you read the postscript written by Mr. Zha Liangzheng, you will feel that "oops, it is so good" - this kind of follow-up reading is another kind of "accumulation of quantity".

You just read Du Fu's poems and think it's good; If you look at "Du Gongbu Caotang Poems", you will find that your understanding of Du Fu may still be narrow - this kind of related reading is also another kind of "accumulation of quantity". The reason why you don't understand many things is not that you don't think deeply enough, but that you don't read widely enough. Many people confuse the relationship between the two.

Mr. Yang Jiang said that the problem of many people is that they don't read enough and think too much. I would like to add that there are many things in this world that have already been "dug deeper" for us. We only need "quantity accumulation" to obtain higher quality "deep mining" with higher efficiency.

If so, if time is limited, try to "accumulate quantity". Occasionally look a little farther, and you will find that you have "dug deeper" before, but in fact, it is not deep at all.

According to experience, if a person wants to be fruitful, he must have quality and quantity. A sufficient amount of reading is the first priority, and only then the question of reading skills is discussed.

How much do you read in a year? Normally, there are about 100 copies.

Depending on the depth of the book read, the category can be more or less. 365 days a year, a day a year to read 365 books a year is also normal, for example, ** literary texts are easier to read, just to understand the content of the story can be done. But if you read other books, it will take more time.

Therefore, the normal reading is about 100 books a year, and the decomposition is 10 books a month, and one book is read every three days.

First of all, this amount is normal for people who often buy books and read books, and there are a lot of ** on the Internet. There is one time a week on Dangdang.com, and the literature class buys more than a dozen yuan a copy, and it is enough to buy it twice a month. Therefore, the necessary amount is necessary, and it is difficult to achieve results without the accumulation of a quantity.

Secondly, in order to maintain such a reading volume, it is important to explain that the time is blocky. It is difficult to read so many books without concentrated time to read, and maintaining a separate reading time can effectively digest the knowledge in the books. It is difficult to produce results from piecemeal reading, because the time is short, and it is difficult to have a sustained effect.

It is necessary to have a habit of reading, which is a major problem that is difficult for beginners to overcome.

Of course, for people in ancient times, it may be the Four Books and Five Classics, a subset of the classics and history, and these books are the books that must be read in total. Often, it is written by a saint and can only play its meaning. But you can't stop reading other books because of the classics, because modern knowledge is more detailed, and extensive reading is necessary.

The Four Books and the Five Classics often contain the content of literature, history and philosophy, and the content itself is relatively extensive, but it is impossible to read scientific knowledge.

The amount of reading almost determines the quality of reading in the later period, and only when you read more can you compare with each other and have reading skills to talk about.

Of course. If you don't study, you won't be able to get a foothold in society in the future.
