Chapter 30 It was all digested

Reading, when you read something interesting, you always fold the pages; if you forget the content in a blink of an eye, you reread the folded corners; when you sleep too much, your brain cells die so much that you can't remember things, so you have to keep reviewing.Turning over Wang Yijia's "Xinxin Zen", the corner of the book is high, and I must have learned a lot from reading it occasionally in the past. The monk asked Chan Master Zongyan: "What is special about the Tripitaka?" Zong Yan was serious: "I told you, I'm afraid you won't believe me."

The monk asked: "Master, please tell me." Zong Yan told the shocking facts: "In the Tripitaka, the ink is black, and the paper is yellow!" Wang Yijia believes: "Reading is like eating. If you can digest and absorb, you have already digested and absorbed it; if you have read it, you don't have to take it seriously. It is better to have no books than to believe in books." He also said: "Books, of course, must be read. , but what I’m afraid of is that if you don’t understand the ancients, if you memorize the words in the book, talk about them, show them off, or use them as the highest guiding principle in everything, this will become a kind of falsehood and a kind of bondage.”

This sentence speaks to my heart.The books I have read have all turned into "yellow paper and black and white characters". They were originally digested by myself, turned into energy, turned into nutrition, and even turned into fat and stored in the stomach and intestines. I used to live near the University of Macau, and I had nothing to do, so I thought it would be better to go to class and learn poetry and composition from a big writer in a small place; however, my memory is not good, and the writer asked me to endorse it?I couldn't recite the book, so I told the truth: "I digested everything." Will I be given a spanking hand and fined for detention?

"Can you issue a 'Forgetfulness Certificate'?" I asked my doctor friend. If there are documents to prove it, writers will know that I have a strong digestion power, and after finishing a book, it will be written in black and white. "Who is Baoyu? Teacher, you asked a good question. Baoyu is a precious stone with a hardness of more than seven degrees on the Massage scale." "It seems that you need a 'death certificate'." The doctor is so black-hearted. One night, a woman came to the dinner party. She seemed to have known each other before, but she couldn't remember the name. It turned out that she had worked with her a few years ago. "Why don't you seem to recognize me?" the woman asked. "I...I..." I really want to tell her: "You only leave a yellow face and black eyebrows, I have digested you long ago!"
