Memory Palace is a method of memory and a book.

This book is also called "Ricci's Palace of Memory", and it describes a rational memory that has existed for a long time.

There are many different opinions about the origin of this memory method. In fact, one kind is from ancient Rome, and it is the secret of a few college students.It is precisely because of this method that university students can get wisdom far beyond ordinary people.

The other is from ancient Greece and is said to have originated from the Greek poet Simonides.One day, Simonets left after reading a hymn in the grand banquet hall. The banquet hall suddenly collapsed, all the guests in the hall died, and the body was blurred and indistinguishable.Simonets, who was spared, was calmly analyzed according to the position of the guests in the hall, and identified the bodies one by one.His ability shocked many people, and finally, under pressure, he revealed the secret of his memory.

There is also a saying that originated in the Middle Ages of Europe and is a mystery technique that exists among some mysterious groups.Because printing was not popular at that time, many books needed to be remembered with the human brain, so this secret technique was produced.Therefore, those who master this secret technique are regarded as evil wizards, and many are tied to the torture rack and burned to death.

The person who carried forward this way of memory was Matteo Ricci after the Middle Ages.

Matteo Ricci was born in Italy on October 6, 1552.He was formerly known as Matteo Ricci, joined the Jesuits in 1571, and began his missionary career in 1577.

He first went to India, and then arrived in China. After many years of missionary life, he died of illness in Beijing on November 11, 1610, at the age of 58.

It is said that he has mastered Italian, Latin, Greek, Portuguese, Spanish, Chinese and other languages ​​throughout his life, and has made great achievements and written books in theology, philosophy, mathematics, and astronomy.

And he can do this because he has a special way of memory.This allows him not only to learn Chinese quickly, but also to memorize Chinese classics such as the Four Books and Five Classics, and to memorize articles quickly, and even recite articles horizontally, vertically, and upside down.

Later, he specially wrote a book called "Western Record" to record his memory.

Slowly, this way of memory spread and continued to develop, and in some unknown areas, it developed to an alarming degree.

For example, in the World Brain Championship, some players can remember a completely shuffled card in a dozen seconds, listen to hundreds of numbers in a few minutes, and remember thousands of numbers in an hour.

To achieve this degree, the way of memory will naturally not be pure memory, let alone memorization. Its core is logic and association.Use some figurative things that are relatively easy to remember, such as images and sounds, to remember abstract things that are relatively difficult to remember, such as numbers.

As an example, remember a string of 11-digit phone numbers in a few seconds: 13754718495.

There are difficulties in normal memory, but the numbers can be decomposed into 137547, 18495, and then further into the homophonic "Yaoshan Banner, Samurai Banner", "One Pa is Ninety Five", and finally become a sentence-Yaoshan Banner, Samurai Banner Gone The only overlord is the ninety-five.

In this way, the number becomes a relatively logical text, with a certain picture, easy to remember.After certain optimization, it can even be remembered permanently.Even if you suddenly forget, as long as you recall the picture, you can think of the numbers, and you can never go wrong.

The most orthodox way of memory palaces, based on this method, generally requires the establishment of a personal memory place, which is a palace.

The palace can exist in reality, such as a familiar bedroom, or it can be virtual, but it must be memorized by the memory.

In this way, the memory person can place some marks in the palace to remember something drawn.

For example, at the entrance of the memory palace, put a loaf of bread, put a book in the center of the ground of the memory palace, and put on the iron frame in the corner of the memory palace a glamorous beauty of red fruit.

In this way, every time I think of this room, I can make the memory remember the three things to do today-buy food, buy books, and buy... well, wash underwear.

Of course, this is just the initial demonstration of the memory palace method. As long as you are willing to study, the memory palace can develop from a small room to an extremely large step by step, so as to temporarily or permanently remember anything you want to remember.

There have even been changes that others could not imagine. After all, the memory palace was created entirely by the individual through imagination, and there are all possibilities.

But then again, Memory Palace, as a skill that everyone can learn, looks very cool, but in fact it is of little use.

The main reason is that in the real world, most people are ordinary people after all.

Therefore, when using a car, you don't need to know how the various structures of the car work. If the car is broken, just go to the repair shop.

When you buy something, you don’t need to know how to get the raw materials for this kind of thing. You don’t even need to make it yourself.

When you are sick, you don't need to know what has happened to your body, you don't need to perform some risky operations, and you don't need to perform surgery on yourself. Just go to the hospital.

When you are ready to retaliate with anger, you also don't need to know how to do it, just endure.

Otherwise, when you are preparing to manufacture nuclear weapons, you will be invited to drink tea whenever you try to obtain some raw materials. When you are preparing to manufacture poisons, you will be invited to drink tea. When you are preparing to manufacture a hot weapon, you will only be asked to obtain Some ingredients will be invited to drink tea.

Drink enough tea and prepare for revenge with simpler cold weapons, too.

But the final result is often, winning to go to the execution ground to eat bullet peanuts, lose to go to the underworld to drink spicy Meng Po soup.

Therefore, the skill of memory palace, like some plausible principles that sounds plausible, sounds very good, but it is actually not useful.

It's really useless.

But then again, some useless things are always controlled by some people.

Such as Richard, he is a realistic master of the memory palace.

Moreover, he is still very proficient in the memory palace, and his proficiency is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

As the present shows, the rest of the palace is just a room, an attic, a building, or a small town, and his palace is... a universe.

universe.

So he can remember as many encyclopedias as the encyclopedia, and he can display all kinds of incredible abilities.

Everything is just because he has a universe in his head.
