Reading to make life and the world more wonderful

On the 20th World Reading Day, in the face of the information tide of the Internet era, current scholars are once again faced with the problem of calming their desks. It puts forward the question of how modern people should deal with spiritual life and how to settle down their spiritual homes, which we need to answer attentively.

Why do people read books? To put it bluntly, it is not only for the world to be more wonderful, but also for life to be more complete. There are many ways to develop people in an all-round way, and the most basic one is reading. The first is to establish a school, and the other is to read. A person's reading level determines his learning ability, creative ability and development ability; the reading inheritance of a nation determines whether the nation can play a leading role on the commanding heights of human civilization; the reading power of a country is a kind of competitiveness, which determines the soft power of a country. In the great journey of realizing Chinese Dream, each of us should use reading to consolidate the foundation of knowledge, improve our own quality, stimulate spiritual motivation, and gather together to build the positive energy of Chinese Dream.

Reading can cultivate one's character and cultivate one's character. In the process of a person's growth, reading can exert a subtle influence on one's ability of thinking, speaking and temperament. People who often read books can think about problems from a broader perspective and become a thoughtful and independent person. Therefore, reading, in the final analysis, is a process of developing a way of thinking and behavior. This is why we must read good books.

What is the best book? Classic books, of course! All ethnic groups in the world have a number of excellent ideological and cultural classics, which are the precious cultural heritage of all mankind. First of all, we should learn to constantly improve the level of appreciation and improve our humanistic literacy and comprehensive ability in reading and appreciating classics. Secondly, learn to be a man in reading. In our country, there has always been a saying that literature is like a human being, and the quality of the article is often in line with the character of the author. For example, the magnificent and unrestrained works of qu Yuan and the melancholy and melancholy of du Fu are consistent with their patriotic feelings of worrying about the country and the people; the vigorous and elegant of Sima Qian's works, the tranquillity of Tao Yuanming's works and the elegant and free and easy of Li Bai's works are also inseparable from their character which does not bow for dignitaries. The "Pine style" of Comrade Tao Zhu, a proletarian revolutionist of the older generation in China, also reflects the high unity of literary quality and moral character.

Thirdly, improve the artistic and cultural accomplishment from reading. Imagine that if there is a statue of Venus, the god of beauty with broken arms in front of us, in the eyes of some people with bad taste, it is just a topless foreign woman. This precisely verifies what the French Enlightenment thinker Diderot said when discussing aesthetics: if morality is corrupted, taste is bound to degenerate. In front of a person with high artistic and moral accomplishment, the statue of Venus is undoubtedly a lotus with exposure to the sun. Marx said: if you want to enjoy art, you must be an artistic person. Only in line with the learning attitude of sores in the mouth and tongue and callus in the elbows, and constantly improve their writing ability and artistic and cultural accomplishment by reading a large number of excellent works with a high degree of thought and artistry, a person may really enjoy reading and art.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has predicted that the illiterates in the future will no longer be people who cannot read, but those who have not learned how to learn. In today's era, each of us should master learning methods through reading and improve our learning ability in appreciation and thinking, so as to establish their virtues, build their achievements, and achieve self-transcendence in life.
