Conversation: Reading and Writing

Reading is a dialogue situation, a dialogue with the author, guided by the author's words, and dialogue with his life and thinking. Such dialogue transcends the limitations of time, space and life, which is probably what Mencius meant by "shangyou". Some readers will write their own thoughts on the page, and they may not agree or disagree. It is just a concrete trace of the reader's desire to talk to the author, and they can only write directly on the page when they are eager. Some people sort them out into articles, while others make them into writings. The entire dialogue, whether it is an endorsement or a refutation, is complete at this point.

Therefore, writing is also a dialogue, a dialogue with the text and even the culture that the writer has come into contact with. Those conscious and unconscious dialogues are a kind of cultural agitation and accumulation. It is neither meaningful nor possible to trace the ancestor who was the first author. If there is only one person's thinking component, I am afraid that it is too poor. Everyone is familiar with the two sentences "exploration and acquisition, accumulation and thin hair". The author's "experience" and "thickness" are the broad adoption in the cultural pedigree, and he himself is also invested in this cultural pedigree, nourishing other author.

Reading and writing are the two ends of the dialogue. We don't know when it started, but if knowledge and culture can continue, the dialogue will never end. right
