📜 原文 Original Text
「循序而渐进，熟读而精思。」 ——《论语》/ 朱熹注
— Analects / Zhu Xi commentary
📖 释义 Annotation
「循序渐进」源自朱熹对孔子教学方法的总结。按照顺序逐步前进，熟读经典然后精深思考——学习不能急于求成、躐等而进。朱熹认为，读书应该先易后难、先浅后深，像登台阶一样一步一步上去。这是儒家教育思想中最务实的一面——承认学习需要时间和过程，不可能一步到位。
'Proceed in order and advance gradually' from Zhu Xi's summary of Confucian teaching methods. Learning cannot be rushed — read thoroughly then think deeply. Study should proceed from easy to difficult, like climbing stairs step by step.
