How to quickly understand or memorize classical Chinese

Familiarize yourself with the thoughts. Anything you read must first be familiar with it, so that the words inside seem to come from my mouth. I thought about it carefully, so that it seemed that the meaning came from what I thought in my heart, and then I could have some ideas.

As for those who have doubts about the meaning of the article, and whose remarks are chaotic and intricate, we should also calm down and think carefully, and do not rush to choose between them. First of all, one of them is listed as a separate theory, and think along the lines of the article to verify the smoothness and blockage of its ideas, then those that have no obvious meaning and reason will automatically succumb before they can be compared with other theories. Then use everyone's remarks to cross-examine and refute each other, and then seek the soundness of its reasoning, to verify its correctness or error, as if it is right but in fact wrong, and it will also be denied by the public recognition and cannot be established.

In general, slowly stop and watch, deal with the static state and observe the dynamics, like attacking hard wood, first attacking its easy parts and then attacking its key points; It's like untying a tangled rope, leaving it there for the time being and dealing with it slowly. That's how to read a book.

When reading a book, you must first tidy up the table for reading, make the table clean and stable, put the books neatly on the table, let the body sit upright, face the books, read the words on the books carefully and calmly, and read the articles carefully and clearly. Every word that must be read is very loud, you can't read a word wrong, you can't read a word less, you can't read more than a word, you can't read a word upside down, you can't barely memorize it, as long as you read it a few times, it will come out naturally, even if it takes a long time, you won't forget. The ancients said:

The more you read the book, the more its meaning will naturally appear. That is to say, if you are familiar with the book, then you will naturally understand its meaning without relying on others to explain it. I used to say:

There are three ways to read, which are called the heart, the eyes, and the mouth. If the mind is not in the book, then the eyes will not look carefully, and since the mind and the eye are not attentive, but only read casually, then they must not be able to remember, and even if they do, they will not be able to last long. Among the three, the heart is the most important.

The heart has arrived, will it not be possible to reach the eyes?

I kept reading, and then I became familiar with it and memorized it. It's best not to write something on your back or it doesn't feel messy.

If you understand, just look at the notes or translations, and I don't have any good methods.

The best policy: It is better to memorize it if you want to understand the meaning, and if you are proficient in reading, you will naturally memorize.

Medium policy: Segmented to memorize.

Strategy: If it doesn't work, it's rote memorization!

Method 1: Use the key words in the text to memorizeYou can recall whether you have ever been in such a situation, when reciting the classical Chinese that you think you have memorized proficiently, you often get stuck at the beginning of a certain paragraph, and you have no clue how to recall, but as long as someone prompts you to memorize the first words of the stuck paragraph, you can easily memorize it.

At this time, we can focus on mastering the words at the beginning of the paragraph to help us memorize.

For example, in Mencius's "Born in Sorrow and Died in Peace", when reciting this classical text, you can focus on memorizing the words that describe the suffering of those who "bear heavy responsibilities": "suffering", "labor", "hunger", "emptiness", "chaos" and so on.

According to this idea, it is easy to memorize the key words in series.
