This mind map is a reading note, and the material comes from the third section of Chapter 3 of "Building super brain" written by super brain gold medal coach Yuan Wenkui. The title of the third section is "The Method of Locating Piles", because I personally feel that this method is the most ambitious and brain-burning among all kinds of memory methods.

The palace mnemonic method is actually the location-fixing method, which is also called the "ancient Roman room method". Personally, I think that the "palace mnemonic method" sounds very tall ~ ~

No matter what its name is, this magical mnemonic technique comes from ancient Rome, so my central picture chooses the Colosseum in ancient Rome, and there are many doorways in this arena, which looks like a palace with many rooms.

this map I * * * is divided into five branches. When sorting out the logic, I boldly abandoned too trivial details, and got through the contents of the front and back narratives, not exactly in the order of the text in the book. I will interpret it clockwise below.

Because the elders of the ancient Roman Senate gave speeches and debates almost every day, they found inspiration from their own fixed furnishings and used it as a medium to connect the contents to be memorized for the convenience of quoting classics.

Matteo Ricci, a Catholic missionary in the Ming Dynasty, wrote The Book of the Western Countries for the convenience of preaching in China, which was later adapted into The Palace of Memory.

In order to find a suitable place, the following five golden rules must be observed:

1. Be familiar with it, and start looking for it from familiar places such as your own home. If you don't have enough, you can go to a tourist spot to shoot.

2. The sequence is generally clockwise.

3, features, don't look for flat objects such as walls, but look for three-dimensional features such as kettles and washbasins, and don't have two identical objects in the same group.

4, moderate, the size and distance should be appropriate, the size is generally as big as a washbasin, and the distance between two items should be .5 -1. meters. If the distance is too far and you need to imagine something virtually, I think it is very mysterious to do this.

5, fixed, the items you are looking for can't change their positions at will, and it's no good running around like a living puppy.

I remember that in the face-to-face class, Mr. Yuan also said that the found objects should not exist on a horizontal line, but should have ups and downs. I didn't think of it until I finished painting, so it's not convenient to add it to it, but if I were to classify it, it should be placed under the three-level branch of "direction", alongside "clockwise" and "counterclockwise"

When memorizing, it is convenient to store and retrieve, and review can be done anytime and anywhere, thus greatly saving time; Moreover, this group of site piles can be recycled, and the original memories can be "erased" by not reviewing for a long time and covering with new information.

No matter how magical mnemonics are, there are limitations: first, you need to find and memorize a large number of suitable places; Secondly, it does not apply to fragmentary and disorderly knowledge points, such as national capitals and English words.
