Abstract: Mastering the reading methods of ancient sages will help to improve the effectiveness of
current reading promotion. Through literature research, three versions were found of the popular Zhuxi’s
reading method, from Huang Shiyi’s Zhuzi Yu Lei, Li Jingde’s Yu Lei Da Quan and Fu Guang’s Zhuzi
Du Shu Fa edited by Zhang Hong and Qi Xi. Zhu Xi’s thoughts on reading include: reading is of great
importance to scholars, and reading is not much in quantity, but in “precision”; reading should be gradual;
reading is conducive to virtues; and composition is the important goal of reading. The study has a high
reference value for current reading promotion activities, reading promoters and readers.
