Lu Xun was invited to give a speech at Guangzhou Middle School, and talked about his personal views and opinions on reading. In his speech, Lu Xun mainly talked about two issues, one is the different situation of reading, and the other is some common problems in reading.

Lu Xun first clearly pointed out that reading is not a simple problem, and then distinguished two kinds of reading: one is professional reading, and the other is hobby reading.

"Professional reading" is only for further study and rice bowl. It is a practical reading, no different from "carpenter's axe and tailor's needle and thread".

Reading hobbies are different. "Leaving the bet is voluntary, not forced at all." Mr. Lu Xun suggested that young friends "dabble extensively" in and gain insights from it. Lu Xun said that loving reading, like visiting a park, is casual, so it is effortless, because it is effortless, so it is very interesting.

Taking literature as an example, this paper shared some common problems in Lu Xun's reading books with young friends. Among them, it talks about the difference between literature and articles, bibliography and criticism. Lu Xun emphasized that bibliography is "useless" because "everyone has different hobbies".

On the one hand, we should not blindly follow various viewpoints in reading, on the other hand, we should be an active thinker and observer, "read this living book in the world with our own eyes." Finally, Lu Xun sincerely told everyone that reading "must be in contact with the real society to make the books read alive", which is Lu Xun's consistent theory on reading.
