Whether we like it or not, as times change, reading is also undergoing profound changes. But we may also need to insist on certain things, but it also has been changing some things. Reading activities of human continuity and change in adherence, constitute the study of history.
Reading a history book, that is, reading is not always the same everywhere.
In 1641 a book called "Mo Qiuli; or, hidden agile messenger," the book of John? Wilkins (JohnWilkins) said that the first people to book as a "divine" things, They found that people can talk with the book, and even paper will say, is really amazing. He told a tale: an Indian servant to be commanded to send a basket of figs and a letter, but he was half way to eat a fig half, received a letter of what people read and found no flowers The number of fruit that's different letter on the reasons for accusing servants ate the fruit. But the servant denied, and the curse that piece of paper, that piece of paper lying. Soon after, the servant has been sent to the fig and the letter sent to the same person, this time he ate a half of fruit, but he's eating place before the first letter of a big rock below, he wanted it the letter would not see him eating fruit, and it will be impossible to sell his. A result, he suffered more severe than the previous accusations. He had to confess his fault, and the words written on paper that has the "divine" amazed.
Reading this story feel a little ridiculous now, but the human characters and the books initially harbor feelings of awe and mystery, but it is real and universal.
Go back thousands of years, studying the way human beings incredible changes have taken place. Saint Augustine (354?? 430) to see in reading lips are moving, can not help much amazed, in his "Confessions," Volume VI writes: "Arbroath reading eyes fixed the book, engrossed in pondering thought, do not say anything, not moving his lips. ... ... He was very easy to hoarse, I also think that silent reading is to protect the voice. "historians study found that in the seventh century ago, almost no one when reading silently. The late Middle Ages and after the period of time, often hand in Europe in the social or work read aloud to the audience pleasure, or teaching.
Machinery Print Large numbers of books and Education The popularity of not only the rapid expansion of the scope of reading, but also changed the basic way of reading and nature. One historian believes that in the West, from the Middle Ages to 1750 time later, the people reading the "Intensive." Then it is only a limited number of books?? "Bible", calendar, 12 prayer books?? They repeatedly read, often aloud, in small groups to read together. As a result, one of the few books left in people's minds a deep imprint. After 1800, "Extensive" popular: people read all kinds of information, especially browsing journals and newspapers, most of the read-only once, and then hurried to find another reading.
Today, the books no longer scarce and expensive, but printed overwhelming, we are surrounded in a variety of text. Correspond with this change is that we have very little respect for books cherish the feeling of growing lack of interest on the text and patience, we often omit time, turn a blind eye.
More significant change is that we find we are in a fundamental transformation and the transition period: Electronic Medium strong impact on the print media, reading the last page of course point to a paper book, and now it may also point to books and computer screen images and interactive text. We must also bear in mind one basic fact: today's children are accompanied by the growth of visual media, since they may never cultivate deep feelings for the books, but from Network And the screen gets more knowledge, fun and intimate feeling.
Our screens, the face appears swift swift uploaded to the disappearance of information from the Internet, it also changes the page as we are experiencing a time of deep physical and psychological, as the secret of reading time, at this time, the invisible self-formation, expand, develop, and flew towards the character?
