Chapter 63 The growth of the study

The growth of the study Saito Maszo, a Japanese book lover, wrote "Paper Fish Prosperity", one of which is "Study Miscellaneous Talk", There is a section on the life of the study, saying that the study is an organism, which should be metabolized, not the grave of books, which is quite interesting. Insightful.Saito said: "The study is growing. The study is originally an organism with constant metabolism. The old is always new, so it will be angry.When this metabolism is lost and the function is aging, growth will come to an end paused.A study that has stopped growing, even if it has tens of thousands of books, is nothing but the tomb of the study

That's all. " Libraries are often compared to graves of books.A library is nothing but a special specialized library In addition, probably because the public is the opponent, it is bound to focus on collecting and plentiful, and does not take care of selection and careful selection. To the point of containing things that have no eternal value.To say that he is a tomb is too pretentious, but in the end It's also at least astonishing that there isn't a library that isn't a retirement home for books.However, the private study is based on Individual's own policies (although there are random collections without definite policies, but most of them are systematic

Collecting, naturally forming a living and organized large system.The so-called book is an organism, That's the reason.The books on the shelves are not only closely related to the collectors one by one, but also the collectors The life flows through it and is connected as one. Therefore, it goes without saying that the organic function of this study depends entirely on the owner's desire for books and research. Constantly increasing, so that the study continues to metabolize and grow along the way.When the interest of the master of the study is exhausted, or When you cut off the relationship with him, you will immediately stop growing, and at the same time lose your vitality and brilliance.no matter how

What kind of scholar's book, when the protagonist has no interest, then its remains are like the hall of an uninhabited temple Average.No matter what kind of master's masterpiece, when the multicolored luminous Buddhist utensils and streamers lose their brilliance, It's just getting more and more deserted. The growth of the study is nurtured by a studious apprentice or by a sincere hobby. However, The sound growth of the study does not depend solely on the increase in the collection of books.Nor is it a random collection made by the common psychology of collectors. Collecting random collections is not relying on the sharp eyes of book lovers to hunt for rare books.Solid Den Master for Den

My growth plan is to rely on the continuous search for new books, so that the air in the study is always fresh, and the life of the study is improved. The function is lively, which improves the energy efficiency of the study.Only know how to increase the number of books, or only know how to use rare books To be proud is to turn the study into a storage room for books, or a display place in a museum, and it will not make you proud at all. Books are alive. Although one side of the study is a lounge, the so-called lounge does not mean a hermit's room or a retreat from the world.neither

It is a room to escape from the world and enjoy the romance, and it is not a place to forget the pain of life and detach from the world. Although it is unavoidable to say a little bit, but modern real people always keep their hearts in mind, never forget to struggle, until the end of the day. As long as there is still a breath left, don't let your ambition slacken a bit, so as not to lose your vitality.Therefore, books must not be a constant source of ambition, A place to inspire them.Even when you are enjoying a rest, you should not forget your ambition and lose your vitality.because

Therefore, in order not to degenerate into an empty bibliophilia that is complacent about the abundance of books and the preciousness of ancient editions Or, the air in the study must be kept fresh frequently to prevent the germs of book addiction. Historians, archaeologists, and classical scholars treasure moldy ancient books, because the matter is specialized, it is indeed a Of course.However, in the world there are only readers who only blindly follow the ancient editions and despise the new editions. calligrapher.In particular, the so-called book lovers often have books in ancient editions that are as cheap as a thousand dollars, while new books are as expensive as ten dollars.

tendency.It goes without saying that classics are worthy of respect.Needless to say, the ancient version is worth playing.However for Why do you regard new works and new publications as mediocre and vulgar books that are not worth paying attention to? Of course, it is not easy to look through the new books that are being published one after another every day. This is time. A kind of negotiation that can't be done properly.However, each person has his own specialized and self-consciously interesting problems, so It is not necessary to read through all the new books. In fact, there are surprisingly few books that are hard to put down.Focus on ancient

Classical editions, regardless of new works and new publications, are really an unsound and unwise method for a scholar.World People believe that the best way to read is to never read books that have not been published for ten years.Needless to say, the real price of the book is at least But you can’t understand it for ten years, and bad books will probably be driven away after ten years, but on the contrary, any kind of name After ten years, it will lose its freshness.Because the fragrance of the times has been lost, old books from ten years ago are no longer Can be in touch with the times and bathed in fresh air.Even if the new book has no permanent value, even those mornings

The clumsy little book that was published and buried in the junk shop at night like a life like a mayfly also carries the fragrance of the times. This fresh taste is more nutritious than the taste from the classic taste. There is another way of reading in the world, thinking that instead of reading extensively, it is better to specialize, to study a volume of classics repeatedly, Benefits will be more cloudy.This statement is quite true.Carelessly like a dragonfly touching water, only on the skin Extensive reading on the surface will not benefit you in the end.However, in addition to the scholar's textual research and examination, only death is known.

Keeping a copy of the Analects of Confucius or the Bible is like a monk chanting scriptures day and night, and he cannot be called a scholar.of course, read Are books the only way to study?Is reading enough for self-cultivation?Is reading the highest pleasure?Reading is omnipotent, Is it Yefeiye?The basic theory of reading, let alone talk about it, but since you already understand the fun of reading, it is easy to immerse yourself in the book People in the studio must beware of the precipitation of the air in the study, avoid the fossilization of the mind, and look forward to the growth of the study. Second, don't forget that often buying new books and putting them in the study is a key to keeping the air in the study fresh. Method.
