    The most important thing to understand classical Chinese is accumulation, some of the more common words and meanings to remember, and some words and sentences to be recognizable, such as "also" to indicate judgment, inverted sentences, and so on. The foundation is the most important! My method is to translate the classical Chinese I learned in the book by myself, not all of them, and pick the key passages, key paragraphs and even key sentences.

    First translate to the annotation, continue to translate if it doesn't go well, and then look for a reference book to look at other people's translations, understand and understand, and then don't look at your own translation. This method is more difficult to stick to and more time-consuming, but it is quite patient.

    After the grammar is thoroughly understood, it is time to grasp the meaning of the words step by step for the camp. If you're bored, you can start with the U.S. text. Don't look at the Shangshu, the Warring States Policy and the like, first look at the poetry and songs, especially the Fu.

    When the text is full of rhyme and rhythm, it feels good to read first, and it will feel beautiful in general if you don't fully understand it. For example, the falling glow and the lonely bird fly together, and the autumn water grows together in the sky. It's impossible not to feel good.

    There's a lot of hidden stuff that's actually quite interesting. For example, what does the double carp represent, what does the Zhangtai willow represent, and what does the baqiao willow represent, you can't understand it without reading the annotations. But it's good to see a lot, everyone uses these metaphors, you can see it from this article, you will see it from other articles, it corroborates each other, and its meaning is self-evident.

    Non-professional, hobby of ancient history, Zeng Guwen hobby. There really are no shortcuts. I used to do stupid ways.

    Read through it two or three times first; Spend more time looking up dictionaries and paraphrasing to understand the literal meaning of each word paragraph; Read through it again and again until you are enlightened; If it really doesn't work, let it go for a while, go back and check it again. No laughing. There are also more ruthless and stupid practices.

    First, look up the dictionary and so on to understand the meaning of each word. Then recite the full text and copy it seven times by hand. That's how Qilu Zhai came about.

    With a little revision, you can ensure that you will never forget it. This is too bitter, and I didn't try it because I was afraid of difficulties.

    Something that I personally think is very important, is idioms. If you read an ancient book, the most interesting thing is to read and read and find out, oh, it turns out that this idiom came from here. It turns out that the basic idioms of our modern daily speech may have existed thousands of years ago, and modern Chinese did not pop out of a stone, but were accumulated little by little to today.

    Buy a book of idiom stories and read as many idioms as you can. This thing is something that you won't forget if you watch it once, because it's all a story with a story. You may not remember who and who, but you must remember what it was.

    Look at the annotations of the textbook and the translation of classical Chinese, if there is a question, also look at the annotations to see the translation, read the translation and then look at the original text, try to look at the original text and say the translation, it should be much easier to read dozens of articles, or memorize the prose, the prose is more dictionary, and catchy, the dictionary is civilized, and it is not difficult to read a few articles on the back.

    Find the first article of each classical Chinese unit in each book, and then read it one by one, gritting your teeth and reading it, don't memorize it, go through your brain, and understand it. Ten or so articles, you will find that classical Chinese is not so difficult. The main thing is to focus on accumulation, after all, classical Chinese is not something you can understand by reading a few articles.
