Chapter 70 The Strange Reading Method of Celebrities
Ba Jin's reading method of "sitting and recalling"
The famous writer Ba Jin's reading method is very peculiar, because he does it without books.Reading without books is indeed a wonder in the world, what is going on?
Ba Jin said: "I was hospitalized for the second time. I took a nap for less than an hour every day. I got out of bed and sat on the small sofa, waiting for the comrade nurse to take my temperature at two o'clock. I sat and didn't move, but I didn't sleep. Drowsy. My mind refuses to rest. It is recalling some books and works I have read in the past, as if it wants to preserve a little good thing before my memory completely fades."

It turns out that the reading method of the famous writer Ba Jin is to sit quietly and recall the books he has read.This has many advantages:

One is that you can make full use of time without being restricted by conditions.Ba Jin cited two examples: one was when Leningrad was besieged by German troops for a long time during the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union, a young girl wrote in her diary something like "So-and-so type, "Anna Karenina"" sentence.At that time, there was no electricity and no candles, and the whole city was blacked out. She could not read, but sat quietly in the dark and recalled the plots in the book.Tolstoy's novels helped her through those horrible nights.Another example is his own personal experience during a decade of civil unrest.He said: "During the 'Cultural Revolution', if the rebels allowed me to write a diary, and allowed me to write my diary according to my own ideas, my diary would definitely be filled with book titles. People would be surprised: my study was sealed, plus Locked and closed for ten years, where do I find those books to read? They forget that there is a big warehouse in the human mind, which stores things that others cannot take away." These two examples show that when everything is not normal You can "read" under the conditions of reading.

The second is that you can review the past and learn the new.Through memory, take out the books you have read in the past and chew them a little bit, just like a cow ruminating its cud, which can further digest and absorb.Every time you recall, there will be new understandings, new understandings, and new gains.

The third is that you can continuously draw spiritual strength from the books you have read.Ba Jin said: "I am fighting against the disease now, and I also get encouragement from various works... Even if I don't have the energy to read new works when I am ill, the accumulation of spiritual wealth in the past is enough to consume for the rest of my limited life. Man needs light and heat until death."

Hua Luogeng's "Thinking about Book Titles" Reading Method
Coincidentally, the famous mathematician Hua Luogeng also has a peculiar way of reading.He picked up a book under the lamp, and instead of reading it word for word from beginning to end, he thought about the title for a moment, then turned off the light and lay down on the bed, closing his eyes and meditating.He imagined, if such a topic came into his own hands, how should he write it... After thinking about it, he opened the book, and if the author's writing was the same as his thinking, he would stop reading it.He finished reading a book that would have taken ten and a half months to finish in one night and two nights.

Dickens' "Storytelling" Reading Method
The great British writer Dickens, when he was an apprentice and a small worker, he often carried books with him and read them out when he was free. He especially liked to tell his colleagues the stories and novels he read. Whenever he had the opportunity, he would tell his colleagues They tell stories endlessly.Part of his achievements in literature came from telling others.

Li Ka-shing's "ear" reading method
Using audio tapes and reading books "by ear" is another method.Even if you are walking, or even lying in bed, turn off all the lights, you can still read.In other words, as long as you use the tape and read with your "ears", that's all.

The richest man in China, "Li Ka-shing", has the title of Hong Kong Superman. He has only been in a formal school for three years, and the knowledge needed for his career development basically comes from his diligent self-study and further study in his spare time.Because his time was so precious, he often had his assistant read newspapers and books to him while driving, while walking, and over breakfast.It can be described as a successful example of the "ear" reading method.

Recently, there are not only tapes of reading poems and novels, but also tapes of lectures and lectures.In the early days, audiotapes of this type were provided exclusively for the blind.Unexpectedly, in the past few years, ordinary people seem to feel nothing new about using their eyes to read typefaces.As a result, the reading method of using ears to listen has gradually been favored by most people.The advantage of using "ears to read" is that you don't need to use your eyes and hands, and you don't have to choose a time and place. You can read even when you are brushing your teeth or walking.At the same time, because you don't have to use your eyes to read the typeface, you can read on a dark bed.Especially for people who feel tired during the day and don't want to use their eyes anymore, this way of reading with "ears" can be said to be the most ideal.As long as you can get rid of the old idea that "you must use your eyes to read", there are many opportunities to read.The most regrettable thing is that the number of "recorded books" only accounts for a very small part of the total book circulation.In particular, specialized books have hardly ever been published.

You might as well ask people around you (such as your wife) to record the content of your favorite books for you.In this way, you can read your necessary information anytime, anywhere.And, while you're working on something else, you can use other people's time wisely.You can record not only the contents of new books, but also the contents of old books. In this way, it will be very convenient when you want to consult the contents of books you have read once.

The size of the tape recorder is getting smaller and smaller, and it is very convenient to carry, which is more convenient than carrying heavy books.When you come across fragments of time that you want to use, instead of looking around in the book, it is more convenient to use a tape recorder, and the efficiency is of course better.Tell people the stories and novels you have read, and tell them to your friends after school or when you are out in the countryside, and they will definitely be popular with them.And after you have spoken about the story or novel you read, you must understand it more thoroughly and remember it more vividly.

I advise everyone who is busy and has no time to study, you might as well make use of these tricks.

Kakuei Tanaka's "Tearing Book" Reading Method
Kakuei Tanaka, who once served as the Prime Minister of Japan, lost the opportunity to study systematically after finishing high school due to his poor family in his early years.In the study of part-time work and part-study, he paid great attention to the method of reading.In order to exercise his memory, he recited the "Concise English Dictionary" and the Japanese dictionary "Kōjirin" page by page. The method he adopted was to tear off one page at a time,
Everyone's day is 24 hours, but some people can make themselves a few hours more than others every day. Their secret is to make full use of fragmented time;

There is a well-known reporter, who is a man who knows how to make good use of his spare time.On the one hand, it is because he is engaged in journalism work where every second counts, and it is not easy to take time out of his busy schedule to study; on the other hand, it is also because journalism is a job that must always be ahead of the times, so he invented his own A set of "tearing books and reading methods".

Every time he finds a good book, he buys two at a time. One is kept at home, and the other is divided into several parts in advance and placed in the car.Whenever there is a long queue of cars, it is his reading time. With this method, he has read a lot of books.

Who said there is no time to study?As long as you know how to use the fragmented time in your daily life, you can grow quickly when others are doing nothing.Throw it away when you know it.This exercised his extraordinary memory.

Don't think that scholars can only love books, in fact, scholars can also tear books.From childhood to adulthood, every reader will tear up a few books more or less.

Children's education experts have found that tearing books is one of the important ways for babies to become interested in books at first, and reading is not a project that babies need to start after they go to school.Let the baby play with books from the age of zero, and the book becomes an interesting toy that can bring them many happy experiences.Through these special toys like books, babies happily play and explore the mysteries of books, and discover many interesting things in the process of exploration, so a "little bookworm" is cultivated.

Li Ao's three key points in reading

Li Ao's erudition has a lot to do with his proficiency in reading and using books.He said that he only skips once when he reads a book. "The so-called skipping means that the key points of each page are jumped out for you to read, instead of reading word by word, and it is not the so-called continuous reading. The method of continuous reading seems to me like a little monk chanting scriptures." It's a lie to talk without intention." "Jumping" is only suitable for looking up materials, not for literary appreciation, and it is the first key point of Li Ao's reading method.

The second key point of Li Ao's reading method is to see and touch. "Immediately mark out the important parts with a color pen, and cut them off with scissors or blades. This way, you can follow the look and do it, and then classify the 'divided corpse'. In this way Once you come to this book, you won’t be able to escape it. It will be used by you forever, and it will come when you pick it up, so it won’t be easy to forget.” Scribbling on the book, writing eyebrow comments, and making some simple notes will definitely help memory.In fact, slow reading is more effective than general reading.

The third focus is to read through synchronously, to read the same topic in series.He said that in the process of skipping, if he is interested in the key points, he will find other related books to study at the same time. "At this time, I don't just read one book at a time, but draw inferences, confirm and complement each other. After this kind of tossing, the book is really used for me." Reading at this level is no longer just reading, but doing research. up.However, this method can really enhance the depth and interest of reading.

Marx's "Take-Turn" Reading Method
The great teacher Marx had a unique way of reading: when he was exhausted from studying philosophy or political economy at the desk for a long time, he would start to calculate math problems, or lie on the sofa to read novels and poems, and occasionally open two or three novels at the same time. , take turns reading.Its round reading method can improve reading efficiency.

The reading method can reduce the fatigue of the brain and get a rest.The process of reading is a process of intensive work of the cerebral cortex. Long-term intensive work will inhibit the cerebral cortex and reduce the efficiency of reading.Since various information is received by cells in different parts of the cerebral cortex, reading this book makes this part of the cerebral cortex exhausted, and when changing to another book, this part of the cerebral cortex gets a rest.In this way, different parts of the cerebral cortex are used in rotation, which reduces the fatigue of the brain.

Mrs. Curie also had a deep understanding of this. In December 1886, she said in a letter to Henriette: "I read several books at the same time, because studying one thing will make my brain tired. It is already too hard. Yes! If, while reading, I feel that I cannot absorb anything useful from the book, I do algebra and trigonometry, which cannot be done with a little distraction, and so they lead me back on the right track."

The reading method can increase the interest in reading.The famous British writer and literary critic Somerset Maugham said: "It is impossible for a person to have the same mood every day, and even within a day, he may not necessarily have the same enthusiasm for a book." Therefore, he reads as he pleases. interests, it is not necessary to finish reading one book before reading another.He usually reads scientific works and philosophical works when his mind is clear in the morning; he reads books such as history, essays, reviews, and biographies when he is relaxed at the end of the work day but does not want to engage in intense mental activities; he reads novels at night; Poetry collection, read one or two poems after work.Because Maugham reads different books according to his whim, his interest in reading is very strong all day long.

By reading in turn, you can gain more knowledge in the same amount of time.Much of Lu Xun's extensive knowledge was acquired through this method of reading.He put a rattan chair beside the desk, and when he was tired from work, he would lie down and read books and newspapers as a rest, he said, this is called "casual browsing".He dabbled in every corner of the ocean of knowledge in "Casual Flipping".

The time for reading varies from person to person. For some people, he always uses the time of commuting to and from get off work, the time between work, and the time after returning home to study.Reading books and newspapers in the car is different from reading books in the office, bedroom, and in conjunction with TPO (that is, time TIME, place PLACE, and occasion OCCASION).In other words, you are reading several books at the same time.

Generally, many people don't like to read another book before finishing one book.The reason is that parallel reading is an ineffective reading method, and it is simply impossible to understand the contents of the two books at the same time.But holding a book all day and reading it wholeheartedly is not necessarily a good way of reading.For example, it is really difficult to look through a huge encyclopedia dictionary or thick legal books in a full car.At the same time, it is impossible for all the information you need to exist in one book.Therefore, it is best to use the TPO of reading to choose books with appropriate content and read at the same time to have the most effect.For example, in the morning commuting car, you can read the news "teared out" from the morning newspaper. When you arrive at the workplace, you can read various materials and books related to your own work and foreign social laws, etc., and read some relaxing ones after returning home. Sketches, or books related to chess, Go, etc... .Because these books are recreational, the reading speed is quite fast.As long as you can absorb information from books, it is not difficult to broaden the scope of information collection, which is also of great help to your work.

When using the rotation reading method, we must pay attention to the overall arrangement, highlight the key points, and choose the books for rotation reading.Due to the different energy, time, and reading content of each person, it is difficult to have a unified pattern, but it is forbidden to use equal force, and it is forbidden to choose books with similar content to read in circles.
