Second, books, especially classic books, are good books that have been screened by history and manpower. In this era of information explosion, some good books that have been screened, precipitated and eliminated have saved us the energy of selecting effective knowledge. If you want to get an introduction to a certain subject, you should search the classic books of that subject and read the book 10. You are half an expert, too.
Third, reading widely can change a person's temperament. Huang Tingjian once said: "If a scholar-bureaucrat doesn't study for three days, his righteousness is not in his chest, his face is disgusting to the mirror, and his words are tasteless to people." Personally, I know that if I don't study for a long time, the corpus I can output will be drastically reduced and sometimes stuttered, so I have to come back to read a book and find something to talk about, which is an important source of information linking the world. When I asked for a quotation with great interest, I felt that there was light in my eyes and others were particularly focused on me.
Fourth, reading can find people with the same frequency. There are thousands of Qian Qian people in the world, but everyone may be on different channels and have different outlook on life, values and world view. In the process of reading, we can find-alas, it turns out that the author and I have the same vibration in my heart, although it has been separated for thousands of years. This excitement will make your soul tremble. Or, chatting with a new acquaintance with a poem that everyone loves, "Don't think about the old friend's old country, and try new fire and new tea", is also a feeling of a thousand glasses of wine between friends.
