There is a mountain not far from their home, and the environment in the mountain is quiet and quiet. There are very few people except hunters who come here to hunt. Qu Yuan is studying at home. In winter, the brazier burns vigorously and the room is warm. Soon Qu Yuan felt sleepy. He remembered the story of scholars studying hard in ancient books, so he thought of studying in the cave behind his home, so that he could exercise his mind and read without taking a nap. After he told his family what he thought, he was unanimously opposed by his family. However, despite the obstruction of his family, Qu Yuan came to the mountains alone with books, found a back wind tunnel and began to study. The temperature in the mountains is already very low, and the caves are colder and wetter. Before long, Qu Yuan's hands and feet were swollen with cold. He stood up, stamped his feet and rubbed his hands. When he warmed up, he began to sit on the ground and read. The family thinks that Qu Yuan is so young and can bear hardships, so they don't want it. Qu Yuan persisted in the cave for three years and finally read the Book of Songs thoroughly. This also laid a solid literary foundation for his later creation of Chu Ci.
