Memory method of Roman room in memory palace

(Roman chamber system) Also called Roman chamber system. It is mainly used as a storage place for images, and the principle is to connect what is to be remembered with what is known. This method is used to memorize a large number of data, and its purpose is to separate images from each other without confusion.

"Roman room mnemonic method" is a mnemonic method developed by the Romans on the basis of Greek research, which is particularly helpful for us to remember objects.

The Romans were great inventors and practitioners of memory technology. One of the most popular is the Roman room law. The Romans easily constructed such a method. They imagine going through the entrances of houses and rooms, and then filling the rooms with as many items and all kinds of furniture as possible-by connecting imagination. They associate every object and every piece of furniture with memory. The Romans were especially careful not to let their rooms become spiritual garbage dumps. The essence of this method is accuracy and order (the characteristic of your left cerebral cortex).

For example, the Romans may have built his imaginary entrance and room: there are two huge pillars on both sides of the front door, and there is a door handle carved in the shape of a lion's head on the front door; There is a beautiful Greek statue on the right side of the door. There may be a big sofa next to the statue, covered with animal fur captured by the Romans; A bunch of flowering plants leaned against the sofa; There is a big marble table in front of the sofa. There are wine glasses, wine containers, jars and fruits on the table.

For example, the Romans remembered the following things at that time: buy a pair of shoes, sharpen swords, buy a new servant and take care of his vines; Polish the helmet, buy gifts for the children, etc. He would simply imagine a room with thousands of pairs of sandals on the first pillar at the entrance. The leather on the shoes is shiny and smells pleasant; He grinds his sword on the right column, and when he grinds his sword, he can hear the scraping sound and feel that the blade is getting sharper and sharper; His servant rode on the back of a roaring lion. The delicate statue was covered with vines, and the vines were covered with sweet grapes, which made him drool. There are flowering plants in his helmet; He is sitting on the sofa, holding a child he wants to buy him a present.

Roman chamber method is especially suitable for testing the function of left and right cerebral cortex and the application of various memory methods, because this method requires accurate structure and order, as well as a lot of imagination and association. The advantage of this method is that there is room for free imagination. You can put anything beautiful into this room, such as all kinds of things that satisfy you, all kinds of furniture, and all kinds of works of art that you want to have in real life. Another advantage of using this method is that if you begin to imagine that you want to possess something in the room, your memory and creative wisdom will make your consciousness act in harmony with the way you actually acquire these things, thus increasing the possibility that you will eventually possess these things.

The Roman Room Law removes the restrictions on imagination and allows you to remember as much as you want. Take a blank piece of paper and let you quickly say the first thing that comes to mind, what should be put in the room, the shape and design of the room and so on. After doing this, draw your ideal memory room on another piece of white paper, whether it is an artist's painting, an architect's plan or an effect diagram, and mark the items to be arranged and decorated with names. We just need to use the room at home or any familiar place as a link between the preceding and the following, and then put what we want to remember in our minds. For example, you should remember three things: flour, milk and bread. Imagine you walk into the front door and see the shoes in the shoe cabinet covered with flour. Then walk into the hall and imagine the milk pouring on the Persian carpet; Go on, imagine pieces of bread sticking to the wall in the corridor.

The more absurd the image that appears in your mind, the easier it is to remember. After completing this step, imagine yourself patrolling at home again to enhance your impression. Because these wonderful associations are "masterpieces" of your brain and are not easy to forget.

When memorizing a large amount of data, you can't link images indefinitely. First, the memory speed is slow, and second, once you forget it halfway, you can't remember the following images. So we need to divide it. This is why the room law came into being.

It is the most practical way to remember by using the data already in your mind. First, find ten things in your room. Think back from the door clockwise.

Take the set personal room as an example, assuming that the room is clockwise, including door, bookcase, wardrobe, wall lamp, bed, bedside table, desk, lantern, window and electric fan.

In this way, if I have fifty images to memorize, I can divide them into five groups and connect them to ten objects in my room. In this way, if I want to recall what the 23rd image is, I just need to think of "What's wrong with the bed" and then think of the 2nd1,22nd and 23rd images, instead of slowly thinking of the 23rd image from the first image.

Take the room method as an example, you can use not only your room, but also the living room, kitchen, classroom, car, garage and so on. Even the campus, the train station ... the train station in your mind can be thousands of "filing cabinets" in your memory. Finally, please note that rooms in Roman family law can only be used in rooms you are familiar with in daily life, whether it is your own room, living room, dining room, public classroom or railway station. The first problem is to have a familiar room. If you use a strange place, or a place you have only been to once or twice, you can't use it.

The change of room method is the same as the principle of room method. It's just that the scene is memorized by body parts, such as the toaster on the head and the watch on the nose ... The zodiac method is the same as the zodiac method and the room method. Just use the zodiac and the zodiac to remember.

First, select 10 specific locations for your memory project, and then expand to 20, 30, 50 and so on. Then in your home (castle, country, city, country, galaxy or universe! ) to add a room.

Many people find this their favorite method. They used a huge piece of paper to list hundreds of things that need to be put into the memory room. If you want to do the same, then do it! When you finish this task, do a "spiritual walk" in your room, use all the functions of your cerebral cortex to accurately remember the order, position and quantity of everything in the room, and use various senses to perceive the color, taste, feeling, smell and various sounds in the room.

Just like learning all kinds of memory methods before, when doing memory exercises with the Roman room method, you should do it alone and with friends until you are proficient.

Summary: The Roman Room Method makes full use of the functions of the left and right brains, because when designing hooks and associations, our brains have already started the functions of logical order, words, numbers, space, imagination, color and five senses. This method can memorize a lot of data with the increase of hooks. When you have designed all the hooks in the room in order, remember to walk virtually in the room, that is, the "spiritual walk" mentioned above, and remember all the orders, positions and numbers firmly.

Suggestion: Comrades who want to learn mnemonics deeply can use digital coding and place method to combine memory.
