Sima guang studious
Zhu [Song]
Sima Wengong had a bad memory when he was a child. Living in groups to give lectures, all the brothers are chanting and swimming; You can recite it twice if you are alone. Those who work harder will go further, and what they recite will be unforgettable for life. Wen Gong said, "Books must be memorized. Or all of a sudden, or when you don't sleep in the middle of the night, you will get more by chanting and thinking about its meaning. " (Selected from Records of the Words and Actions of Famous Officials in the Three Dynasties edited by Zhu)

Translation:
When Sima Guang was a child, he was worried that his ability to recite poetry books was not as good as others, so when everyone studied and discussed together, the other brothers recited them and went to play and have a rest. (Sima Guang) Stay alone and study hard until you know it by heart. Nowadays, the workload of reading is great and the gains are great, so he is obsessed with the books he has read and read intensively. Sima Guang once said: "You can't read without reciting. When you are riding for a walk, when you can't sleep in the middle of the night, recite the article you have read and think about its meaning, and you will gain a lot! "
