Reading, putting aside the noise and busywork, savoring carefully in a corner of the small building, savoring the tranquility and pleasure of the book, in Feeling the taste of life in silence, filtering out the impetuous mentality in the sea of ??books, being indifferent to fame and fortune, and being indifferent to the world are undoubtedly wonderful enjoyments that bring joy to the vicissitudes of life.

"Greed, selfishness, and eagerness for quick success" are the main causes of impetuousness. The most difficult thing to do in reading is "to cultivate yourself like an illiterate person". In reading, one cannot "take two or three poems and essays in order to get rid of melons, memorize three or five prose sentences in order to be familiar with them, eat them alive, take them out of context, speak what they mean when you open your mouth, and what you say when you speak." "It's nothing more than the ugly woman applying bright makeup, which makes her ugly and scary!" She disguises herself, is eager for quick success, and puts on a facade, which is used as a "stepping stone" for promotion in officialdom and to attract business in shopping malls.

Someone said it well: In an impetuous society, those with a calm mind win. The power of reading is often not reflected through the physical senses, but is constantly and subtly felt. There are people in the book, people are in the book, and the book and the people are one. This "person" is both the author and the reader. Reading "Notre Dame de Paris", in the battle between morality and evil, the ugly but kind bell ringer Quasimodo provides more possibilities for the classification of beauty. Reading "Historical Records", we can't help but think about the big issues of life and death through the various lives that flashed through history. Reading "The Sorrows of Young Werther" reveals innocent youthful love, reading "The Birds" reveals fraternity and kindness, and reading Ba Jin's "Random Thoughts" makes me feel heavy with sadness, and in sadness I strive for progress. All good books will add calcium to our bones, provide blood transfusion to the heart, and teach us how to live closer to our true nature. This kind of beauty originates from the vast nature, matures in a harmonious society, and is infiltrated with the wisdom of thinking, so its power can be passed down forever.

A sage once said: "Those who do not read, both the sky and the earth are small, and they can only live one life at best; those who read more, both the sky and the earth are vast, and they can live three lives - the past , present and future. "The beauty of reading lies more in the unknown. For the poor in thought, reading is such a luxury. The mystery that we have never experienced poses a challenge to reading. The author takes risks at the top, and the readers take risks in the labyrinth. If the known is an existence and a fact, the unknown constantly corrects the deviation of readers' understanding, repeatedly corrects the scenery of the road ahead, and leads the material and spiritual direction of mankind.
