Disciples

Chapter 84

Original
Just read this, don't admire him;
This is not the end, so don't get up.

Translation
While you are reading this book, don't think about another book; if you haven't finished this one, don't start another one.Concentration is the most important thing in reading, don't fish for three days and dry the net for two days.

allusion
Deng Zicheng is a historian, with the word Wenru and the name Mingzhai.Deng Zicheng graduated from a two-level normal school in Yunnan. After 1917, he served as the editor-in-chief of "New Morning Post" for many years, and later served as a professor at Peking University, Beijing Normal University, and Yenching University.Beginning in 1930, Deng Zicheng devoted himself to the history of books, specializing in teaching apprentices and writing.Most of the books in his collection are banned books from Renjibu in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties and the Qing Dynasty.The old man has a lot of insights on reading and scholarship.He often said: "In learning, you must be down-to-earth and do it step by step. Don't cheat or deceive yourself. You must be familiar with a few basic books. Every time you read a book, you must have a beginning and an end. Don't give up halfway; , and then read another one." It is in this spirit of research and reading that Mr. Deng Zicheng became a learned historian.
