? The first time I sat and gave a speech, I looked like an old pedant and couldn't dance. At first, I really limited my play. Later, I just regarded myself as a respected old gentleman, and I gradually became better and better. It is said that I am the youngest sharer in the provincial library.
1. Readers ask: Will you forget the mnemonic method you talked about?
? Me: the answer is "yes", because there is no way to remember and never forget. There is no once and for all solution. If so, I want to learn. Then, since we will still forget over time, why should we learn mnemonics? Learning the mnemonic method is not unforgettable, but the process of transforming a hard-to-remember data into simpler information so that it can be easily stored in your brain. I sum up the process of memory as the funnel principle.
Traditional memory (pictured above) is hard to remember. If you don't review it in time, a lot of content will soon be forgotten. It's easy to miss like the funnel above.
And the memory after memory training is like a funnel, which is easy to remember. A little review will become a long-term memory. It saves us a lot of time and improves the learning efficiency.
2. Readers ask: Is there any way to train memory?
Me:? Yes, mnemonics is a system that needs systematic study. If you want to remember simple things, you can remember them quickly through association. But it is best to have a teacher to guide you, so that you can avoid taking some detours and walk faster. If you just have a simple understanding, you can recommend some memory books, such as my first book, The Magic Book of Memory I Want Most, written by Dominic O'Brien, who won eight world championships in the World Memory Championship.
? 3. Reader's question: Is it still meaningful to recite many things with the progress of science and technology and the development of artificial intelligence?
? Me: There is always a gray matter. No matter how technology develops, it will never completely replace the human brain. To know how to use tools, such as the appearance of mobile phones, we may not need to remember phone numbers. You can find it by turning on your mobile phone and searching. These technologies help us to store, which is very convenient, which is the convenience brought by scientific and technological progress.
? However, there are still many places that need memory in the future. At present, it is difficult for students to take exams for a hundred years. The college entrance examination is a relatively fair and just screening mechanism, and you need to remember a lot of information to win the exam. There will be more and more professional certificates to be tested in the future, and more and more information to be remembered. Don't expect candidates to use tools to test in exams, many of them still rely on our memory.
Furthermore, human intelligence is manifested in many aspects, such as observation, memory, imagination, creativity, analytical judgment, thinking ability, adaptability, reasoning ability and so on. And memory is one of them. A good memory is also a good IQ. In ancient times, Zhang Song of the Three Kingdoms had many people with excellent memories, which made many people admire him. The 60th chapter of Romance of the Three Kingdoms tells a story: Zhang Song went to Xudu to ask for an audience with Cao Cao. Seeing that Zhang Song was short and ugly, Cao Cao deliberately snubbed him and met him while washing his feet, which made Zhang Song very angry. The next day, Yang Xiu, the master book of Cao Cao's library, took out Cao Cao's new art book "Meng De Shu Xin" and showed it to Zhang Song to show Cao Cao's talent. Zhang Song read it again and wrote it down. He smiled deliberately and said, "This book can be recited by three-foot children in Shu. What is a new book? This was done by an anonymous person in the Warring States Period. " Yang Xiu didn't believe it, and Zhang Song said, "If you don't believe it, I'll recite it." So I recited Meng De's new book from beginning to end without any mistakes. Yang Xiu was afraid and told Cao Cao. Cao Cao said strangely, "Did the ancients think like me?" If you think your book is not original, let someone else burn it. In fact, Cao Cao was fooled by Zhang Song: Zhang Song memorized the whole book Meng De's New Book with his amazing memory.
? There are many people like Zhang Song who never forget anything. Wang Chong, a thinker of the Eastern Han Dynasty in China, read a book when he was young. "Memories can be memorized at a glance". RoyceWong of the Three Kingdoms Wei Dynasty can "never forget". On one occasion, he and his friends read an inscription on the roadside, and their friends intended to test him and asked him to recite the long inscription he had just read. He did recite it word for word. People miss Mao Dun, the great master of modern literature in China. He can recite the classic Dream of Red Mansions. 1926 One afternoon, the bookstore owner Zhang invited Mao Dun and Zheng Zhenduo to dinner. Halfway through the wine, Zhang said, "It's really boring to eat sake. Please ask Yan Bing's brother to entertain. " Shen Yanbing was in a good mood, so he said, "OK, what can I do?" Zhang said, "I heard that you can recite A Dream of Red Mansions. How about a paragraph? " Shen Yanbing agreed. So Zheng Zhenduo took the book and read it, while Shen Yanbing recited it for more than half an hour, word for word. All the people present were impressed by his amazing memory.
? Qian Zhongshu's "Qian Zhongshu, a leading scholar" can be recited after reading it once. He has read many books in Peking University Library, Institute of Literature of China Academy of Social Sciences and National Library, and his "throughput" is amazing. When I was studying in Tsinghua University College of Literature, I even put forward the slogan of "sweeping the library". Many famous professors and scholars at home and abroad have great respect for Mr. Qian Zhongshu. They often send their new works to Mr. Qian, and some publishing houses often send him newly published classic works. After receiving the book, Mr. Qian will read it quickly and then give it away, telling others which book is worth reading, which book is not needed, which book is interesting, which book can show the author's skill and so on. 1979 In May, Mr. Qian participated in a delegation from China Academy of Social Sciences to visit the United States, visited many places, gave lectures and answered questions many times, and was unprepared beforehand. But no matter what questions he asked, even the old China books he read decades ago, he counted them one by one, translated them into English in chunks and explained them one by one. Chen Yinque, the most famous historian, classical literature researcher and linguist in modern China, has an amazing memory. It has the ability to read more than ten languages such as Mongolian, Tibetan, Manchu, Japanese, Sanskrit, English, French, German, Balinese, Persian, Turkic, Xixia, Latin and Greek. At that time, in the aspect of Chinese studies, it was very good for the average scholar to recite four books and five classics, but he could recite thirteen classics and find the correct solution for every word.
In recent years, Jiangsu Satellite TV has a program "Super Brain", because its super memory has amazed many people. Some super-brain players are born, but most of them are cultivated. Including a competition called World Memory Championship, the contestants are all professionally trained. They can remember hundreds of numbers in five minutes and dozens of decks of playing cards in an hour. Many people are dubbed "the master of world memory". None of this is possible without training the day after tomorrow.
? 4. Readers ask: Will memorizing English words through homophonic words affect English language sense?
? Me: Just the other day, I watched a video Crazy English. Li Yang taught thousands of students to learn English on the spot, and he taught quickly with homophonic memory. Homophonic memorizing English words is just one way. Most people still have the ability to distinguish between homophonic and orthotonic, just as you can switch between your hometown dialect and Mandarin at will. Homophonic memorizing words can only solve a few words, not every word can be homophonic. Memorizing English words with split coding can solve more than 95% of words, which is also the fastest way to remember words at present.
? 5. Reader's question: Are there any courses for memorizing examination works such as Capital?
Me: To tell the truth, there is no market and few people specialize in this. Let's learn how to remember and learn ourselves! Memory method is universal. Mastering the targeted memory methods of various materials and memorizing new materials is just an extension.
? Time is limited, and the old man who looks after bags in the library is going to get off work, so I will end it hastily. I hope I can share it with you next time.
? Tip:? Memory method is not omnipotent, but it is an effective learning tool, and everyone should learn it at least once in his life.
