He expresses profound truth in simple words and sentences(言簡意賅)
In the Song Dynasty of China, there was a
famous scholar whose name was (Zhang Dai).
He is also a famous philosopher and
thinker.
There is a paragraph in the book he wrote
as follows.
We must establish our own views that are
generated after independent thinking.
This way we won’t be confused when we read
some books.
The authors of each book have their own
different positions and different ideas.
You should first establish your own point
of view, and then have a virtual dialogue with these authors.
After you read a book, you have to think
about the differences between the views of these authors and your current
views.
You think about these differences and why
they would make these statements.
Then you will get a new and unique
perspective of your own.
After this process, you can make some
seemingly complicated things simple.
Only when you really understand can you use
simple words to express a very complicated truth.
After we read, even if you are very smart,
you still have to remember that you have to say what you have read to share and
discuss with others.
By what you say when you share it with
others, you can see how much you have learned.
The more you can tell, the more you can
act.
Therefore you cannot neglect the value of
recitation.
This idiom is used to describe a person's
words that are simple but express profound truths.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
did you have after hearing this story.
When you read a book, do you practice
talking to the author of the book and reflecting on your opinions? Do you
practice converting your knowledge into language to share with others?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.
言簡意賅(He expresses profound truth in simple
words and sentences)
中國的宋王朝，有一個著名的學者，他的名字叫做(張戴)。
他也是一個著名的哲學家與思想家。
在他寫的書裡面有一段內容如下。
我們必須建立起自己經過獨立思考後產生的屬於自已的觀點。
這樣我們在看一些書籍時才不會產生迷惑。
每本書的作者都有他們各自不同的立場與不同的想法。
你應該先建立起自已的觀點，然後與這些作者們進行一場虛擬的對話。
你看到一本書後，你要思考這些作者的觀點與你現有的觀點有那些地方有差異。
你針對這些差異的地方去思考為何他們會這些論述。
然後你會得到一個新的屬於自己的獨特觀點。
經過這個過程，你就可以把一些看起來很複雜的事情變成簡單。
你只有真的懂了，你才可以用簡單的話語去表達一個很複雜的道理。
我們閱讀之後，就算你非常的聰明你也要記得，你要把你所讀到的內容說出口與別人分享討論。
藉由你與他人分享時你所說的內容，你就可以檢視自己學會了多少。
你說得出來的愈多，你能付諸行動的就愈多。
因此你不可以輕忽背誦的價值。
這句成語被用來形容一個人說話的言辭簡單卻表達出深奧的道理。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你看一本書時會練習與這本書的作者對話並藉此反思自己的觀點嗎?你會練習把你的知識轉換成語言去與他人分享嗎?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
