dú wàn juàn shū, xíng wàn lǐ lù 读万卷书,行万里路

Read Ten Thousand Books and Travel Ten Thousand Li

多读书,多走路。比喻要努力读书,尽可能多地丰富书本知识,掌握间接经验;同时要尽可能多地接触实际,丰富自己的亲身体验,开阔眼界,增进见识。理论与实际相结合,间接经验与直接经验相结合,既有真才实学,又能学以致用。

This means one should acquire as much knowledge as possible from books to gain the experience of others. At the same time, one should also have as much direct contact with the world as possible to enrich one’s personal experience and broaden one’s horizon. When one applies theory in practice and draws on both direct and indirect experience, he will gain true knowledge.

引例 Citation:

◎人生宇宙间,志愿当何如?不行万里路,即读万卷书。(高士奇《扈从杂记》其四)

(人生于天地之间,应当有怎样的志愿?不是走万里长的路,就是读万卷多的书。)

What aspiration should one have? Travel ten thousand li to see the world, and read ten thousand books. (Gao Shiqi: Miscellaneous Notes on Escorting Journeys)
