Reading requires method. When the method is correct, the effort yields twice the result. Some great teachers have advised that reading classics is valuable, and reading classics is valuable in that it requires familiarity before comprehension, comprehension before application, application before skill, and skill before innovation. This is also the original intention behind the Classic Reading Project. In summary, it boils down to six characters: precision, familiarity, comprehension, application, skill, and innovation. Among these, comprehension, application, and innovation are explained. However, these explanations are best grounded in precision and familiarity. As for sudden enlightenment or realization during the process of undisturbed, focused reading, that is truly remarkable—such profound understanding often transcends the need for conventional explanations.
