细读的理念和方法

The Idea and Method of Close Reading

经典细读是一种涵养精神以“明得自家本体”的方式。经典务细读,细读必为经典,经典与细读者是共生的关系。细读分为外求和内己两个阶段以及粗读、精读、思读和修读四个步骤。一次细读完成,从解释学角度看,就是一次解释学循环。细,因敬居静而品,是一种心性和生活美学。细读之为书道,是人生的一种修行,是一种自然疗法,是一种哲学性的存在方式。

The close reading of classics is a way of cultivating the spirit to illuminate one’s own mind. The close reading must be the classic and vice versa. And the relationship between classics and readers is symbiotic. Close reading is divided into two stages which are external seeking and the internalization and introspection,and four steps which are rough reading,intensive reading,re-reading and reading for cultivation. A close reading,from a hermeneutic point of view,is a hermeneutic cycle. The “closeness”,quietness and respect,represent a kind of mind being and life aesthetics. The close reading as a kind of book ceremony is actually a life practice,and a philosophical way of existence.
