A poem about not advancing or retreating 1. What poems are similar to "sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat"
The original intention is to sail against the current. If you don't go forward, you will go backwards with the current.
It means that only by constantly learning and enriching can we make progress. If you can't make continuous progress, you will regress because of the progress of others or the degradation of your own knowledge. First, the idiom definition: sailing against the current is a metaphor for going backwards without hard work.
Second, the idiom source: Liang Qing Qichao's "Speech at the Welcome Meeting of Shanxi Ticket Merchants": "My husband can keep it, I have lost it! However, I think that in the world, it is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. " Idiom Appreciation: Idiom allusion: In Song Dynasty, there was a peasant boy named Fang Zhongyong, who could write poetry at the age of five.
His father showed this poem to readers, and everyone was surprised. Since then, his father has been visiting and asking for Zhong Yong's poems.
His father, greedy for small profits, showed Zhong Yong around every day and wouldn't let him continue his studies. By the time he was twelve or thirteen, his poems could not be compared with the original ones.
Fang Zhongyong's case from "child prodigy" to ordinary people shows that no genius is born, even if you don't study hard, it will be in vain. In sharp contrast with Fang Zhongyong and Zuo Si.
Zuo Si was a writer in Jin Dynasty. He was not very clever when he was a teenager. He studied calligraphy, music and the art of war, but he didn't achieve anything. His father once said to a friend, "Every generation is getting worse. This child is not as capable as I was when I was young. " Zuo Si was very sad and made up his mind to study hard and keep practicing calligraphy.
Just about to write Sandu Fu, Lu Ji, a famous writer at that time, said, "It's amazing that a rude northerner left his mind to write Sandu Fu. When he's finished, build me a jar. " But Zuo Si was not discouraged. He hung paper and pen indoors, in front of the door, on the wall and in the toilet, and wrote down a good word at any time. It took him ten years to finally write Sandu Fu, which even Lu Ji admired.
Luoyang people rushed to buy paper for copying, which made the supply of paper in Beijing in short supply at that time, so it was called "Luoyang paper is expensive".
