Reading makes people progress, and traveling can also cultivate sentiment and broaden their horizons. What do you think of travel and reading?

In the Qing Dynasty, Qian Yong's "The Book of the Garden" said: "Reading thousands of books and taking Wan Li Road should not be neglected." The ancients regarded "reading thousands of books and walking Wan Li Road" as a realm and a pursuit. It summarizes the ways for everyone to gain true knowledge, and emphasizes the relationship between study and travel practice, both of which can broaden people's horizons and increase their knowledge and ability. Compare the relationship between "reading" and "traveling": "reading thousands of books" is like people seeing the golden hill of knowledge and ability through a window, but if they really want to get the golden hill of knowledge and ability, they have to go out and "travel to Wan Li Road".

"Reading thousands of books" is an exposition of knowledge. Philosophers at home and abroad have many well-known proverbs about reading: "Books are still medicine, and good reading can cure fools"; "Reading is like breaking thousands of volumes, and writing is like a god"; "Books are the ladder of human progress"; "Life without books is like having no sunshine; Wisdom without books is like a bird without wings, and so on. All these words tell us a very common but important truth: opening books is beneficial and reading is beneficial. Reading thousands of books is a must, and the best way for a person to have knowledge is reading. Reading has a great influence on people's growth, and a good book can often change people's life.

"Wan Li Road" is the accumulation of practical experience. Everything is sweet and bitter, and everyone who has tasted it knows it; There are risks in the road, and those who do it know it. There are many roads in the world, and only the one you have taken is the clearest. As the saying goes, practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Only when people observe themselves more, practice more, travel more, and have rich life experiences can they learn to analyze and judge, find the way that suits them best, and turn the knowledge in books into ability and wisdom.

"Reading thousands of books" and "Taking the Wan Li Road" are two indispensable parts of life. Reading thousands of books can't replace reading Wan Li Road, and reading Wan Li Road can't replace reading thousands of books. Reading thousands of books is knowledge, and taking Wan Li Road is knowledge. Knowledge is the premise and necessary condition of wisdom. From knowledge to wisdom, we need to travel and take the Wan Li Road. Unity of knowledge and action, with the perfect combination of these two aspects, life can enter a higher realm.
