Reading, Chinese Proverb


读书须用意,一字值千金

读 dú | 书 shū | 须 xū | 用 yòng | 意 yì | 一 yī | 字 zì | 值 zhí | 千 qiān | 金 jīn |

- 中國俗談

讀書鬚用意 一字值千金

Intention of required study, the word worth a thousand gold.

- Chinese Proverb

Meaning: When reading, don’t let a single word escape your attention; one word may be worth a thousand pieces of gold. This proverb stresses the fact that study requires undivided attention. And if there is something you don't understand, interrupt yourself. Only in this way can study be rewarded.

Autumn, P. D. James
