Reading makes a full person, discussion makes a witty person, and notes make an accurate person. Therefore, journalists who don't often write must have a strong memory, those who don't often discuss must be born smart, and those who don't often read must deceive the world. Only when they have skills can they be ignorant and obvious.
3. Reading history makes people wise, reading poetry makes people witty, mathematics makes people careful, science makes people profound, ethics makes people solemn, and the study of logic and rhetoric makes people eloquent; Everything you learn becomes a character.
People with skills despise reading, ignorant people envy reading, and only smart people use reading. However, the book does not tell people its usefulness. The wisdom of using books is not in the book, but outside the book, all by observation.
5. Reading is too time-consuming and easy to be lazy, and literary talent is too vigorous and correct. Breaking things completely through rules is a pedant's state.
6. Reading makes up for the lack of nature, and experience makes up for the lack of reading. Natural talent is like natural flowers and plants. After reading it, you will know how to trim and transplant. As shown in the book, if you don't imitate experience, it will be too big and inappropriate.
