Tell me the poem Reading Books and explain it

Zhu Xi Half an acre of square pond is opened, and the sky and clouds and shadows wander together.

Ask the canal to be as clear as promised, for there is a source of living water.

It's a philosophical little poem. After reading a book, people often have a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and the poem uses symbolism to depict this inner feeling into concrete actions that can be touched, so that readers can appreciate the mystery for themselves. So-called"Living water at the source", which refers to the continuous acquisition of new knowledge from books.

"Reading Books with Feelings" is a well-known poem by Zhu Xi, a scholar from Southern Song Dynasty University, which is transcribed and analyzed and appreciated with everyone. I hope to inspire and encourage young friends who have no intention of learning, do not read books and newspapers, and only know how to have fun.

Four lines of the original poem: "Half an acre of square pond is opened, and the sky and clouds and shadows wander together; Q: Where is the canal as clear as promised? For there is a source of living water. ”

It is a bright and fresh pastoral scene, read it several times, and you will feel that the more you read, the more you love reading! You see, a small pond of half an acre is a mirror in Zhu Xi's pen (as soon as it is opened), and it is so quiet and elegant that people immediately imagine the wings of imagination. The second sentence arouses the reader's reverie, this "mirror" reflects the shadow of the clouds wandering in the sky, but the clear water surface is so quiet and lovely!

In the third sentence, the author asks the question, why is this water so clear? He happily asked himself, because there is always a source of living water to replenish it, and it keeps flowing down.

This beautiful picture of natural scenery has made people fresh and bright after reading, and what makes people even more amazing is that when they look at the title, they are the feelings of reading the book, and suddenly the artistic conception of this beauty is sublimated, and the reading is integrated.

It turned out that the university scholar Zhu Xi had a comprehension in praising reading, and the smoothness, clarity and liveliness of his soul were vividly described by the reflection of the pond and the shadow of the clouds. Why is his heart so clear? Because there is always new knowledge in the book like living water, which is constantly replenishing him!

A small poem by the talented Zhu Xi gives us a lot of inspiration, reading more good books will make your thoughts always lively, your talents endless, and your sentiments elegant.

Reading books has a feeling. Half an acre of square pond opened, and the sky and clouds and shadows wandered together.

Ask the canal to be as clear as promised, for there is a source of living water.

Vernacular translation. The half-acre square pond is displayed in front of you like a mirror, and the brilliance of the sky and the shadows of the floating clouds are all rippling together in the mirror.

If you want to ask, why is the water in the pond so clear? That's because there is an inexhaustible source of living water for it.
