First of all, we must figure out what it means to read too little, and how much is too little? We can compare the number of books read at home and abroad, according to statistics, the average number of books read by Chinese is 435 copies, 40 copies from Japan, 11 copies from South Korea, 20 copies from France, and 60 copies from Israel. I don't know if these data are accurate, but they are very different, because what I usually see, except for students who are desperately reading, I almost never see adults reading, occasionally I see adults holding a book to read, and when I look closer, it turns out that I am taking the vocational qualification examination, and I have to stop reading it, and students are reading books the same, all to cope with the exam, or to stimulate the senses to read**. I estimate that the average number of books read by Chinese is 435 books, a large part of which are books to read for exams, and there are very few people who take the initiative to study Xi professional books for their hobbies, at least not until now. What I have seen the most is how many people hold a mobile phone, when eating, when they are free, when walking, when shopping malls, when they are in the car, when they are sleeping, they hold their mobile phones all the time, and they keep swiping **, swiping online articles, swiping information 、......Constant brushing, in addition to work and sleeping, all the time with a mobile phone brush, almost no time, energy and mind left for reading, if the mobile phone is spiritual opium, it is really not an exaggeration!
Why don't we like to read anymore? There are several reasons for this:
1. The interest in reading has been destroyed by the current primary and secondary education!
At present, primary and secondary education is cramming education, no matter whether students like the courses they want to learn or not, every day the brain is forced to stuff a large amount of knowledge, regardless of whether students are interested in this knowledge and whether this knowledge is useful, students are forced to eat it, and then take all kinds of exams. This kind of cramming education ignores students' interest in learning Xi, forcibly indoctrins, day after day, and finally completely spoils students' appetite for learning Xi, and they want to vomit when they see books. You don't see the end of the college entrance examination every year, the torn book rolls such as "June Snow", is a strong ** of cramming education, after the exam, the books that carry human civilization are not as good as the paper that wipes the buttocks, they are torn to shreds and thrown everywhere, and they have become the object of venting psychological depression! Primary and secondary school education is to destroy students' interest and enthusiasm Xi education, this kind of education out of people, will not relive the dark feeling of reading before, see the book will automatically avoid, would rather be in a daze, blow NB, than to touch the book.
2. There are really few excellent books to choose from, and the range of options is very narrow.
Now go to the bookstore or ** to buy books, especially professional books, are marked as the editor-in-chief of Professor XX, and then a bunch of books edited by people, open the content, a bunch of conceptual formulas, it seems that the content is rigorous, logical, but reading it is like gnawing bricks, there is no fun at all. These books are all for the task of compiling books, and a bunch of people are formed temporarily, each responsible for one or two chapters, like a hodgepodge. Reading a book, no fun, no life, no humanity, daunting, then no one reads? Definitely not! However, some really learned scholars have devoted their lives to writing some monographs, which are really very good, especially some foreign university scholars, who have written books that express very professional things in a very interesting and special way, which are easy to understand, and shine with the light of humanity everywhere, which makes people love to see it. But there are too few such books in China, which also leads to some people who like to read and do not read because they have not chosen the right book.
3. Today's adults are really busy and tired, and they don't have the time and energy to study.
The reason why they live very busy and tired is that most of the profits created by the people are taken away by a certain part of the people, the first is the capitalists, the second is **, the capitalists are desperately squeezing the people, everyone is tired and tired but can't earn a few dollars of silver. At every turn, hundreds of millions, billions, hundreds of houses, hundreds of houses, hundreds of them, sucking the blood of the people completely. Therefore, the people can only desperately snatch the little leftovers of the bureaucrats and capitalists, exchange the hardest work in the world for the most meager income, and the energy is consumed by more than ten hours of high-intensity labor a day. If, like Western capitalist countries, they work 30 hours a week, with high pay and high welfare, and make people idle, they will have a lot of time and energy to study!
People who don't read will have the sequelae of not reading:
1. Personal quality is very low. No matter where you go, from bureaucrats to riches, to ordinary people, in addition to talking about MLGB and CNM, the belief in the belly is to make money, tend to be inflammatory, male thieves and prostitutes, and I don't know anything about cultivation, fraternity, equality, freedom, and mutual assistance. Have a meal with leaders and colleagues, toast in circles according to the level of position, say meaty words in your mouth, and the dignity of the weak is trampled on! What was talked about at the wine table was nothing more than the gossip of all kinds of powerful people in the local area, all kinds of yellow jokes showed the lower limit, and the whole person was not good after eating a drink. And having a meal with relatives, work, income, house, car, ,......His old bottom was turned upside down. The contact between people seems to be in a kind of boring joke, muddy, and I feel ridiculous and boring. But sometimes I met a fun-loving person who loved to read, and once I had dinner with a colleague, and I had a knowledgeable history teacher, and I talked about history, ideals and hopes at the wine table, which really benefited me a lot. But there weren't many people like that at the wine table, and as a science student, I couldn't reach the same level as him.
2. Blind herd mentality. Especially the post-50s, 60s, and 70s generations were either poor and unable to go to school, or they were involved in the political whirlpool at that time and were unable to study well, resulting in low cultural quality, and they were already intellectuals in high school. Reading is less, the information is very single, and you can believe what you say, especially in modern times, when smart phones are popular, network information is flying all over the sky, mixed with fish and dragons, mud and sand, and it is easy to be misled. Elderly people, on the Internet, see that Lianhua Qingwen and Shuanghuanglian can cure the new coronavirus, and they have hundreds of boxes! Seeing Japan dumping nuclear sewage and dumping hundreds of catties of salt! You can't finish it for a lifetime! There are a lot of such people around me, with single information, they believe what others say, and as long as I refute it slightly, it is like touching the other party's reverse scales and wants to eat me. By reading more, we can learn a little dialectics Xi understand the essence of things, and second, we can broaden the channels of information and understand problems through multiple channels and angles, so that we will not be deceived!
3. No personality charm. Listening to some people chatting is really like listening to Xianglin's sister-in-law's chatter, either reminiscing about the courage of her youth, or chatting about all kinds of privacy gossip, or talking about money and beautiful ,......Although the mouth is like a river of gushing, but it is really uncomfortable to listen, these words are almost from the mouths of 100 people who have heard them, the content has not changed, but the person who expresses it has changed. Sometimes I really don't want to go out and listen to these things, it's better to read books, especially when reading books by some top scholars, it's like chatting with a university scholar, and listening to him talk about it is definitely much more affordable than chatting with an insignificant ordinary person. If you read too many books and are contaminated with some of the breath of top scholars, your own breath will become different. I've seen some people who like to read, and their temperaments are really different, men are more energetic, and women are elegant with some clean feelings. It's called charisma.
4. Stagnant thinking. Professor Yang Zhenning, a well-known scientist in China, is more than 100 years old, and when he gives lectures and gives interviews, his thinking is very clear and his expression is very crisp and neat. As a physics giant, he has been thinking all his life, even if he is hundreds of years old, his brain is not confused at all. On the other hand, many people around us, a little older, such as in their forties and fifties, have a bad brain, can't remember things, and their learning Xi is stagnant. It's not that they can't think anymore, it's that they stop thinking themselves. People who are in a little grade, generally do not read much and Xi, are eating the old books that they struggled to get out when they were young, because they do not read for a long time, the brain is not used much, and gradually degenerates, as long as they use their brains, they feel that their minds are not useful. In fact, in this case, as long as you slowly learn Xi, adapt to the intensity of using the brain, and slowly learn Xi ability, Yang Zhenning's hundred-year-old brain is not old, himself.
Four. X.V.
The brain of a 10 or 60-year-old is still very young, and it can read a lot of books, learn a lot of things, think without stagnation, and live a life without stagnation.
Reading, talking to the world's elites, reading non-stop, accompanying university scholars day and night, every day, I believe that I will make a great change.
