My colleague Xiao Li’s 8-year-old child not only has to learn primary school lessons every day, but is also urged to memorize Tang poems every day. The child often memorizes and forgets, which makes Xiao Li beat his head and scream. The mother wonders if the child is too stupid.
The high school son of a classmate, Zhenzhu, had to do a lot of extracurricular questions in addition to the classroom knowledge every day. He was so exhausted that he studied late every night. But his grades did not improve significantly, and the whole family was anxious.
In fact, not only students, we adults who have entered the society also have too many things that need to be memorized every day, especially now that we are in an era of knowledge explosion. If we don’t learn for a day, we will regress.
So how can we not forget what we have learned? "Memory by heart" will definitely not work. In fact, it is not because we have a bad memory, but because we have not mastered the correct memory method.
In the rainy season, Fortunately, the book "Memory Master" written by Yang Zejun and Zhao Meijun has solved our memory problems. And this book is different from other books in that it is not dry and difficult to understand.
The whole book is printed in four colors. The pictures and text are vivid and interesting, making your eyes bright when reading. The text is color-coded, just like the colors of spring, which is very easy to read.
And these two authors are mind map lecturers authorized by Tony Buzan, who is known as Mr. World Brain. The last article "Quick Reading" is Tony Buzan's book. But here, these titles are no longer important. What is important is that this book is the biggest highlight. There is a lot of useful information in the
book, which is divided into four articles, namely methods, applications, challenges and questions and answers. Each article has a color and is separated by four colors.
The book not only talks about memorization methods and formulas, but also explains how to memorize from various knowledge such as ancient poetry, classical Chinese, memorizing words, taking teacher's certificate exams, civil service exams, etc. in the application chapter.
So what is mnemonics? In a broad sense, any method that is faster and more solid than memorizing can be called a mnemonic method. Next, let’s briefly talk about the memory method in the book.
At the beginning of the book, the author believes that the core principle of the memory method is: simplification + image association + familiarity + Restov effect.
is to simplify complex information, use familiar or unusual directions to associate images, use logical language or homophony to replace related words, and use associated images to help memory.
The author also believes that the super memory method has a universal formula: simplifying the complex + image association + memorizing the new. This formula is compared to Cheng Yaojin's three-axe. There are not many moves, but they are all the essence.
Then with the universal formula, there will be methods. Then the method chapter in the book introduces 15 memory methods, and also provides in-depth explanations and practical applications of the methods in each section.
These 15 methods include paired association method, story connection method, memory palace method, etc. The pictures and texts in each method of are especially suitable for children. Even with a little text, you can know what method is being talked about. The author is so attentive!
For example, when the knowledge point about foreign rivers " Danube " appeared in junior high school geography class, I used image association to think of it as "Many-headed River", and then I remembered it all at once. And after growing up for many years, I have always wanted to visit this place on the Danube River. Isn’t it interesting?
The most interesting thing is that after the method is explained in the book, it is accompanied by application practice and writing, so you can learn and practice as you go, but all the answers are backwards. When doing this question, you are not afraid of peeping or accidentally seeing the answer, because it cannot be achieved visually, but at this time, I believe your answer must be 100%!
