This sentence means: learning without thinking is useless and at a loss. If you think without learning, you will be confused and get nothing. It tells us that in the process of learning, learning and thinking should be combined, and both are indispensable. Learning is the foundation of thinking and thinking is the deepening of learning. If you only learn and don't think, what you learn is very shallow. If you only think and don't study, what you think is empty.
It is not enough to learn knowledge by rote. Be sure to remember on the basis of understanding, otherwise you will be at a loss. For example, when we are studying mathematics, it is not enough to just listen to the teacher. Only on the basis of understanding the formula theorem can we get the problem right.
In other words, when we are learning Chinese, what the teacher said can only be remembered and used correctly after we really understand the meaning. Therefore, when we study, we must combine learning with thinking, so that we can master real knowledge and become the masters of learning.
