沉潜讽诵

深入作品的思想内涵并在反复吟诵中领悟其中的精义。“沉潜”，即潜心钻研；“讽诵”，即背诵或朗读。沉潜讽诵之法，并不局限于品读儒家经典和诗歌作品，也可广泛运用于品读散文、辞赋、词曲等其他文体类作品和学术著作。总的来说，“沉潜讽诵”既是品读文学作品的门径，也是研读学术经典的利器。

Focused Study Through Reading and Recitation

According to this concept, one can only grasp the essential meaning of a work by delving into its connotations through repeated reading and recitation. Chenqian means in-depth exploration and study, and fengsong, recitation or reading aloud. Such focused study through reading and recitation is not limited to the appreciation of Confucian classics and poetry, but can be broadly applied to reading essays, poetic rhapsodies, ci poems, lyrics of songs, and other literary genres and scholarly works. In short, "focused study through reading and recitation" is a reading method, which can be used both as an approach for appreciating literature and as a tool for studying classic scholarly works.

引例

讽之读书者，非但开其知觉而已，亦所以沉潜反复而存其心，抑扬讽诵以宣其志也。（《传习录》卷中）（我们教导孩子诵读经典，不只是为了开启他们的心智，也是为了促使他们潜心钻研、反复思考，涵养他们的心性，在抑扬顿挫的诵读中抒发弘扬他们的志向。）

We teach our children to recite the classics not only to develop their intelligence, but also to help them preserve and cultivate their true nature through focused study and continual reflection, and voice their aspirations through rhythmic and expressive recitation. (Records of Great Learning)
