为何学习文学?

熟读唐诗三百首，不会作诗也会吟。

学习语言需要多读，借以培养语感，缩短学习者与语言间的距离细雨潇潇赏宋词，人生佳境莫如此。

文学可以陶冶情操，提高修养世事洞明皆学问，人情练达即文章。

EmilyDickinson,文学的激励作用,圣火的实例往往比千言万语的说教更有力量，它能够激发或者缓和人类的激情。

所以在我当面给了你一些安慰之后，我就决定把自己的苦难经历写给你，来安慰你，希望你拿我的苦难同你的比较一下，你就会觉得你的苦难毕竟是微乎其微，你也就有勇气来面对人生的一切磨难。

阿贝拉尔（12世纪法国神学家）,如何学习文学“三不分”,文史不分theconnectionbetweenthehistoryandthegeneralliteraryfeatures作家与其所处时代不分theconnectionbetweentheauthoranditstimes作品与其作者不分theconnectionbetweentheworkanditsauthor,文学与悟性,ToseeaWorldinaGrainofSandAndaHeaveninaWildFlowerHoldInfinityinthePalmofyourhandAndEternityinanhour一沙一天国一花一世界君掌盛无边刹那含永劫WilliamBlake,文学包罗万象,theinseparabilityofliterature,history&philosophyCloseconnectionbetweenliterature,music,painting&photographyTolearnliteraturewell,youmustbeapersonwhoareinterestedinmanythingsandwhocanusetheknowledgeinotherspherestointerpretliterarycodes.,如何学好文学,学而无思则罔，思而不学则殆。

文学与生活密切相关。

从生活中汲取灵感来理解文学；从文学中吸取智慧来感悟人生。

在“悟”中把握人生的真谛。

非学无以置疑，非问无以广识。

勤读书，多思考，善提问，多讨论,HowtoReadLiteraryWorks?
