Reading is a beautiful act. In reading, one can see everything from heaven to earth; Five lakes and four seas, right beneath our feet. Reading helps us understand what truth, goodness, and beauty are; Reading enriches ourselves, elevates ourselves, breaks through ourselves, and improves ourselves.
On a cold night with a solitary lamp, holding a book and smelling the fragrance of ink, it feels like sucking on a cold drink in the midst of summer, sweet and refreshing. The feeling of reading is unique to those who love reading; The joy of reading, in the process of seeking knowledge, allows you to taste the ups and downs of life and appreciate the various landscapes in life.
Being able to read is naturally a joyful thing; Being able to read a good book is even more happiness. The human soul has different levels and patterns, so the degree or feeling of happiness also varies significantly.
People need to read some books. Many people lose their direction in life. Through reading, they can pull themselves out of material desires, fame and fortune, and shape a beautiful concept of life. Famous people from ancient and modern times, both domestic and foreign, have wonderful sayings about reading. During the Tang Dynasty, Pi Rixiu praised the benefits of reading: "Only literature is colorful, more beautiful than Western literature; only literature is splendid, more beautiful than a hundred flowers." Shakespeare from England once said, "Books are the nourishment of the world. Without books in life, it's like without sunshine; without books in wisdom, it's like birds without wings. Yu Xiao is troubled by the world, but he is proud, self reliant, and unafraid of mediocrity and flattery
One of the joys of reading is that the improvement of each of us in real life is closely related to books. Books are the bridge for us to understand reality, and they help us break away from ignorance and move towards civilization. Through reading, we can learn about astronomy and geography, travel through time tunnels to experience the continuous wars of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and observe the prosperity of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Reading science fiction novels by Jules Verne and Conan Doyle takes us ahead of time into a surreal and exciting future world.
The second joy of reading is that books are a mirror, and the author's resolute character, broad mindedness, and positive aspirations expressed in the book can reveal their own shortcomings through reading. By reading day after day, we are unconsciously influenced by books, and gradually form new moral concepts and behavioral norms. At the same time, reading is a process of communication between readers and authors. Through reading, we enter the author's inner world, constantly absorbing and learning to abandon, so that reading becomes an active participation.
The third joy of reading is that books are not always about us remembering the books themselves, but more importantly, about the inspiration they give us. A good book is like a treasure digger, digging out the hidden treasure in our hearts. If we can get the treasure digger, most people have treasure in their hearts that can be mined. We often find in books that what we think and feel is just not expressed. Reading awakens our potential abilities, and in books, we come to know ourselves.
The happiest state of reading is to enter the realm of aesthetics. We have no utilitarian purpose and only read books we like. Reading allows us to travel far and wide without leaving our homes. May people be invited to explore the sea of books, pick up beautiful seashells, and build their own spiritual buildings.
Reading good books that have a positive impact on people is a blessing in life, and it may lead to a significant change in your worldview from then on. Books are the crystallization of the author's wisdom, a carefully screened and filtered self statement after contemplating life, so reading regularly is a shortcut to achieving intellectual maturity.
When reading, you will set aside all worries and quietly be taken by the author to a completely new cultural realm for a free stroll. On countless nights, you engaged in a calm and profound conversation with an elder, galloping through time and space, crossing over time and geography. The elderly are full of wisdom and speak candidly, and their thoughts will slowly blend into the depths of your soul, tapping your childish soul with every word. Unconsciously, your perspective on all things in the world begins to change. You will use your heart to understand the true meaning of life, be able to approach life happily and positively, learn to appreciate beauty and create beauty. You will step on the intellectual ladder of the wise and gradually reach a certain level of understanding, realizing the vastness of nature and your own insignificance.
Some people compare those who have never loved reading to prisoners, imprisoned in a cell of self and ignorance. They often complain, "Life is dull and tasteless, and work repeats itself." They cannot feel happy because they confine themselves to the same routine of life, focusing more on interests and gains and losses. They are not only ignorant of the wonderful outside world, but also ignore the little joys in life. This kind of loss is very terrible. The ancients once said, "Without reading for three days, one's appearance is detestable and words are tasteless." In life, we cannot do without sunshine and air. Similarly, the days without books will also be the most boring, and the life accompanied by books is the most meaningful.
People who understand life will understand the beauty in books. May we both cherish our reading time, pick up a beloved book, read it, and start each other's reading lives.
