Sima Guang, the prime minister of Song Zhezong, was a famous minister at that time. When he was a child, he had an inhuman memory. His brothers all started chanting and wandered away. They stayed at home alone. Once they can satirize it, it is already. He said to himself, "Those who work hard will go far, but they will never forget." And the dragon, browsing ancient books, has a good knowledge, Zhiqiang, saying: "Books must be memorized. Or immediately, or when you don't sleep in the middle of the night, recite its words and think about its meaning, and you will get more. "
Translation:
Sima Guang, the prime minister, was responsible for the compilation of "Lessons Learned from Mutual Understanding" and was a famous hero at that time. When he was a child, he was worried that his memory was not as good as others. The other brothers had already memorized, played and rested, but he couldn't close the door alone until he knew how to recite.
(Sima Guang) said to himself: "(Because) you have more energy to study now, and the harvest will be long-term, so you will never forget it." (Sima Guang) When he grew up, he read all the ancient books, learned a lot and had a solid memory. He said, "You can't read without reciting. Sometimes I ride a horse and walk, sometimes I can't sleep in the middle of the night. You can learn more by reciting what you have read and thinking about its meaning. "
