Copying books is not only a material preparation that can be seen and touched, but also a writing skill, and you can also develop a good habit of reading and thinking. Why not do it? However, there are also traps, as Zhou Zuoren reminded, those who learn from me are ill. Copywriter needs to have its own yardstick of value and aesthetic standards, otherwise, pick it up and copy it, who won't? It may become an excuse for laziness or even plagiarism. The reason why we talk about the ancient copying books at this time, of course, is to express our views. Nowadays, when people read books, they are generally too impetuous, such as dragonflies and water, not like the snorkeling tricks of the ancients. This is because there are so many things to see now that I have no time
Today's people are not as diligent in reading as the ancients
I have no choice but to know everything at a glance. Another point is that before the May 4th Movement, we had too much respect for the ancients; after the May 4th Movement, we were too contemptuous of the ancients. All want to make an epoch-making, are unprecedented, it is too late to write their own books, how do you have the mind to copy other people's books.
