1. Classical Chinese stories of success due to hard work
(1) Wen Zhengming's calligraphy "Shulin Chronicles" The original text was written by Wen Zhengming in "The Thousand Character Essay", and there were ten copies of it every day. As a result, the book progressed greatly.
I have been reading books all my life, and I have never been content with answering people's simple notes. I rarely pay attention to them, but I will never tire of changing them over and over again, so the older I get, the more sophisticated they become. The translator Wen Zhengming supervised the writing of "Wenwen", and he wrote ten copies a day as a standard, and his calligraphy improved rapidly.
He has never been careless about writing in his life. Sometimes when someone replies to a letter and it's a little bit incomplete, I must rewrite it over and over again without fear of trouble.
Therefore, his calligraphy becomes more exquisite and beautiful as he gets older. (2) Xue Tan Xueyue. The original text is that Xue Tan Xueyue admired Qin Qing. He thought that he had exhausted the skills of Qin Qing, so he resigned and returned home.
Qin Qingfu stopped, walking on the suburban thoroughfare, singing sad songs at festivals, the sound vibrated the trees, and the sound stopped the moving clouds. Xue Tan wanted to rebel, but he never dared to return.
Translation Xue Tan learned singing from Qin Qing, but before he had finished learning Qin Qing's skills, he thought he had learned all he could, so he left and went home. Qin Qing did not dissuade him and bid him farewell on the road outside the city. Qin Qing beat the beat and sang a sad song.
The singing vibrated the trees, and the sound stopped the moving clouds. Xue Tan then apologized to Qin Qing and asked to come back to continue studying.
From then on, he never dared to say that he wanted to go home again. (3) Fan Zhongyan aspired to the world. Original text: Fan Zhongyan was orphaned at the age of two, and his family was poor and helpless.
He rarely has great ambitions. He always takes the world as his own responsibility and studies hard. Or he is lazy at night and often eats rice with water. He eats porridge while reading without food. ‖Since he was an official, he always spoke generously about world affairs without caring about his own life.
He was even slandered and demoted, and was relegated to Dengzhou by participating in political affairs. ‖Zhong Yan worked hard and worked hard, but his diet was not heavy on meat. His wife only had enough food and clothing.
I often recite to myself: "A scholar should worry about the world's worries first, and rejoice after the world's happiness." Translation: Fan Zhongyan lost his father when he was two years old, and his family was poor and helpless.
He had great ambitions when he was young and often washed his head and face with cold water. I often couldn't even eat, so I ate porridge and kept studying.
After becoming an official, he often talked about world affairs, regardless of his own safety. So much so that some people were demoted for speaking ill of him, and were demoted from being the governor of Dengzhou to being the governor of Dengzhou.
Fan Zhongyan trained himself hard and did not eat much meat. He only provided food and clothing for his wife and children by himself. He often recited two sentences from his works: "A scholar should worry before the world is worried, and be happy after the world is happy."
(4) Sima Guang's "Records of the Words and Deeds of Famous Officials of the Three Dynasties" by Sima Guang 》Original text When Sima Wen Gong was young, he was not as good as others when he asked about his troubles. He lived in groups and taught. After all the brothers had finished reciting, they stopped wandering around. When he was alone, he could not recite it twice, and then he stopped. Those who exert more force will achieve farther, and those who recite it carefully will never forget it throughout their lives.
Duke Wen once said: "You can't fail to recite the book, either on horseback or when you are up at night, you will gain a lot by chanting its words and thinking about its meaning." Poems and books are not as good as others in their ability to prepare responses.
Everyone studied and discussed together. The other brothers had already learned how to recite and went to play and rest. (Sima Guangque) studied hard alone, as focused and hard as Dong Zhongshu and Confucius when they were studying, until they were proficient. Until he recites it carefully, (because) he has more energy in reading now, the harvest will be long-term, and the books he has read and recited intensively will be remembered for the rest of his life. Sima Guang once said: "You can't read without memorizing. When you are riding a horse or walking, or when you can't sleep in the middle of the night, you can recite the article you have read and think about its meaning. You will gain a lot!" (5) Ouyang Xiu studied hard in " "Ouyang Gong's Deeds" Original text Ouyang Gong was orphaned at the age of four, and his family was poor and had no resources.
The lady painted the ground with grass and taught calligraphy. Recite more ancient passages.
It was a little long, and there was no book to read at home, so I borrowed it from the scholar's family in Luli and read it, or copied it, so that I forgot to sleep and eat day and night, only reading was my business. He has written poems and texts since he was a child, and he has written like an adult.
Translation Mr. Ouyang Xiu's father passed away when he was four years old. His family was poor and had no money for him to study.
The wife used reed stalks to draw pictures on the sand and taught him to write.
He also taught him to recite many passages from ancient times. When he got older and there were no books to read at home, he would go to nearby scholars' homes to borrow books and read them, and sometimes copy them.
In this way, I worked day and night, forgetting food and sleep, just studying. From my childhood poems and poems, my writing has reached an adult level, which is so high.
(6) Zhang Wugao diligently studied "Helin Jade Dew". The original text Zhang Wugao was relegated to Hengpu and lived in Baojie Temple in the west of the city. His dormitory has a short window, and he holds a book under the window every day and reads in full view.
Fourteen years like this. Returning from the north, there are traces of the double folds on the stone under the window, which still remain to this day.
Translation: Zhang Jiucheng was demoted to Hengpu and lived in Jiesi Temple in the west of the city. The room he lived in had a short window. Every day at dawn, he would always stand under the window with a book and read in the faint morning light.
This has been going on for fourteen years. When he returned to the north, the traces of his feet were still faintly visible on the stone under the window.
(7) Wang Mian's night reading "Collected Works of Scholars of the Song Dynasty" at the Monastery. The original text is Wang Mianzhe, a native of Zhuji. When he was seven or eight years old, his father ordered him to herd cattle on the mountain, sneak into the school building, and listen to the students reciting books. After listening, he memorized them silently.
Returning home in the evening, he forgot his cow and his father angrily bit him. It's back to its original state.
My mother said, "My son is so crazy, why won't he listen to what he does?" Mian Yin left and lived in a monk's temple. At night, he went out and sat on the Buddha's lap, held the plan and illuminated the long-lit lamp, and read it, and it was so clear that the whole day was over.
There are many earthen idols in the Buddha statues, they are ferocious and terrifying; Translation Wang Mian is from Zhuji County.
When he was seven or eight years old, his father asked him to herd cattle on the field. He secretly ran into the school to listen to the students reading. After listening to it, I always remember it silently.
When he returned home in the evening, he forgot all about the cattle grazing. Wang Mian's father was furious and beat Wang Mian.
Afterwards, he was still like this. His mother said: "This child wants to study so much, why not let him do it?" Wang Mian therefore left home and stayed in a temple.
As soon as night came, he walked out quietly, sat on the lap of the Buddha statue, held a book in his hand and read under the light of the lantern in front of the Buddha statue. The sound of the book continued until dawn. Most of the Buddha statues are made of clay, and their faces are ferocious and scary.
Although Wang Mian was a child, his expression was calm, as if he had not seen anything. (8) Preface to Ma Sheng in Dongyang (Excerpt) Song Lian Original text When I was young, I was addicted to learning, and my family was poor, so I had no way to write a book and make insights. Every time I borrowed it from a book collector, I wrote it down by hand and counted the days to return it.
It is very cold, the inkstone is hard, and the fingers cannot be flexed or stretched, so do not be lazy. After recording, I went to see him off, not daring to exceed the appointment.
Therefore, many people spend their spare time reading books, and I have to read all the books. Not only do I admire the way of saints and sages, but I also worry that there are no great teachers, famous people and tourists, so I try to follow them hundreds of miles away. 2.

(1) Wen Zhengming’s calligraphy of "Shulin Chronicles" The original text was written by Wen Zhengming at the time of writing "The Thousand Character Essay", with ten copies a day at the rate, and the book developed rapidly.

①[Original text] When he was 2 years old, Sun Xin met Ouyang Wenzhonggong ③ and tried to ask him in writing ④. He said: "There is no other way ⑤ but to study diligently And do more of it, work on your own ⑥. People in the world suffer from the problem of writing less, being too lazy to read, and publishing one more article, that is, seeking to be better than others. Such people rarely succeed ⑦. You don’t need to wait for others to criticize your flaws ⑨, you can see it yourself if you write more ." This Duke tells people about his attempts, so it is particularly interesting. [Notes] ① This article is selected from "Dongpo Zhilin" by Su Shi of the Song Dynasty. ② Years old: the beginning of the year ③ Ouyang Wenzhong Gong: refers to Ouyang Xiu, Wenzhong is his posthumous title No., Gong is an honorific title ④Chengjian: taking advantage of opportunities ⑤Skills: methods ⑥Work: good at ⑦To: successful things ⑧Flaws: faults ⑨Criticize: point out mistakes. [Translation] At the beginning of a certain year, Mr. Sun Xin met Ouyang Xiu. Ouyang Xiu took the opportunity to ask him for advice on writing articles. Ouyang Xiu said: "There is no other way. Only by studying diligently and writing articles frequently will you naturally make progress; but the problem of ordinary people in the world is that they have few opportunities to practice writing and are too lazy to read. After writing an article, you immediately ask it to surpass others. It is rare to succeed like this. You don't need others to point out the shortcomings of the article. You can find them by practicing more." Ouyang Xiu told others about his experience in writing articles, so (I think) it is particularly meaningful. [Brief Analysis] Only by reading frequently and writing more can you improve the quality of your articles. There is no other way. Su Dongpo, a great literary figure, has peerless talent and is well-known in ancient and modern times. He can still value the successful experiences of others and draw inspiration from them. It is a good training, which shows that he is rigorous and hard-working in his studies. From this, it gives us a great lesson: the quality of the article is closely related to the diligence in reading and the amount of writing practice. 4. Classical Chinese essays about hard work
1. Mencius of the pre-Qin Dynasty "Born in sorrow, died in happiness": Therefore, when heaven is about to entrust a great responsibility to a man, he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, and starve his body. The skin is empty, the body is empty, and the actions are messing up what it does, so tempting the mind and forbearance has benefited what it couldn't.
Definition: Therefore, when God wants to place a heavy responsibility on someone, he must first make his mind distressed and his muscles and bones tired, making him hungry and his body empty and weak, making every action he takes Unsatisfactory, this will stimulate his will, make his temperament persevering, and increase the abilities he does not possess.
2. Pre-Qin Xunzi's "Encouragement to Learning": If you persevere, the rotten wood will not break; if you persevere, the metal and stone can be carved.
Definition: (If) it stops after carving a few times, (then) the rotten wood will continue to carve. (If) you keep carving, (then) you can carve gold and stone successfully.
3. Wei Yuan of the Qing Dynasty's "Hai Guo Tu Zhi": Learn from the barbarians and develop skills to control the barbarians.
Definition: Seeking ways to resist bullying and strengthen a country by learning advanced Western military technology. Later, it referred to learning advanced Western technology to resist the West.
4. Yan Zhenqing's "Poem to Encourage Learning" of the Tang Dynasty: The lights are on at three o'clock and the chickens are on at five o'clock, which is when men are studying.
From midnight every day until the rooster crows, it is the best time for boys to study. In their youth, they must know how to study hard and study diligently.
5. Han Yu of the Tang Dynasty's "Jinxuejie": The work is accomplished by diligence, and the waste is by play; the success is achieved by thinking, and the destruction is caused by following.
Definition: Studying is accomplished through hard work, but it can be wasted in games. Things are successful because of repeated thinking, but they can be destroyed by randomness without thinking. 5. Keep working hard and you will succeed. How to say it in classical Chinese
Classical Chinese expression: Pre-Qin Xunzi's "Encouragement to Learning": Therefore, if you don't accumulate small steps, you can't reach a thousand miles; if you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become a river. A horse can't take ten steps with one leap; a horse can ride ten times, but it's hard to give up. If you persevere, the rotten wood will not break; if you persevere, the metal and stone can be carved.
Explanation: Therefore, without accumulating one and a half steps, there is no way to reach a thousand miles; without accumulating small flows, there is no way to form rivers and seas. A good horse takes less than ten steps in one leap; a bad horse can walk for ten days in a row, but its success lies in not stopping. If you stop after a few carvings, then the rotten wood will continue to carve. If you keep on carving, you can also carve gold and stone successfully.
This passage contains layers of metaphors, revealing that learning must be persevering and cannot be given up halfway.
Extended information:
"Encouraging Learning" systematically discusses the theory and methods of learning, including the importance of learning, attitude towards learning, and the content and methods of learning. , comprehensively and profoundly discusses issues related to learning.
The full text can be divided into four paragraphs. The first paragraph explains the importance of learning, the second paragraph talks about the correct attitude towards learning, the third paragraph talks about the content of learning, and the fourth paragraph talks about how learning should start and end well. The full text has in-depth reasoning and rigorous structure, representing the mature stage of pre-Qin essays.
The article states that "earthworms have no sharp claws and teeth, but strong muscles and bones" and can "eat earth and drink from the underworld" and "crabs kneel on six knees with two claws", but they are "nothing like the hole of a snake." Comparing "can be relied on" shows that learning must be concentrated and cannot be careless. These two metaphors emphasize the need for perseverance in learning. 6. What classical Chinese text is used to describe people who must be diligent in order to succeed?
Xunzi's "Encouragement to Learn"
The gentleman said: Learning cannot be stopped.
Green is derived from blue, and green is from blue; ice is derived from water, and is cold from water. The wood is straight and the rope is in the middle. It is shaped like a wheel and its curve is regular. Although there is violence (pù), those who no longer stand up are the ones who make it happen. Therefore, if wood is supported by a rope, it will be straight; if metal is sharpened, it will be beneficial; if a gentleman is knowledgeable and examines himself every day, he will know how to act without making mistakes.
Therefore, if you don’t climb a high mountain, you don’t know how high the sky is; if you don’t go to a deep stream, you don’t know how thick the earth is; if you don’t listen to the last words of the past kings, you don’t know how great knowledge is. The sons of Qian, Yue, Yi, and Raccoon were born with the same voice, grew up and had different customs, and they were taught to do so. The poem says: "Sigh, gentlemen, there is no eternal rest. I am in charge of your position, and it is good and upright. God listens to you, and you are blessed." God is not greater than the Tao, and blessings are better than the absence of disasters.
It is not as good as me to learn what I have learned in just a moment if I think about it all day long; it is not as good as to gain broad insights by climbing high. When you climb high and make moves, your arms are not lengthened, but the sight is far away; when you call along the wind, the sound is not faster, but the sound is louder. A fake horse can travel thousands of miles without benefiting from its feet; a fake boat can run a thousand miles without benefiting from the water. The nature of a gentleman is not different; he is good and false in nature. (One work on the nature of a gentleman: The birth of a gentleman)
…………
When the soil accumulates, it becomes a mountain, and the wind and rain stir up it; when the water accumulates, it forms a abyss, and the dragons emerge; when the good deeds accumulate, they become virtuous, and the gods are content with themselves. , the holy heart is prepared. Therefore, if you do not accumulate steps, you cannot reach a thousand miles; if you do not accumulate small streams, you cannot reach a river or sea. A horse can't take ten steps with one leap; a horse can ride ten times, but it's hard to give up. If you persevere, the rotten wood will not break; if you persevere, the metal and stone can be carved. An earthworm has no sharp claws and teeth, no strong muscles and bones, it eats earth and drinks from the underworld, it is all about the same intention. A crab with six knees and two pincers is not a snake and eel whose cave has nothing to rely on, so it is a sign of impatience.
Therefore, those who have no deep ambitions have no clear understanding; those who have no shameful things have no great achievements. Those who follow the road will not come, and those who serve the two kings will not tolerate it. The eyes cannot see both ways and the ears cannot hear both ways. The tan snake has no legs and can fly, and the mole has no skills. "Poetry" says: "The corpse dove is in the mulberry, and its sons are seven. A gentleman's manners are one. His manners are one, and his heart is like a knot!" Therefore, a gentleman is tied to one. 7. Ten inspirational words for diligence (ancient Chinese)
1. Zhu Xi's "Poem to Encourage Learning": It is easy for a young man to learn, but it is difficult for an old man to succeed, so no inch of time should be taken lightly. Before I realized the dream of spring grass in the pond, the phoenix leaves in front of the steps already sounded the sound of autumn.
2. Yang Jisheng's "Poetry of Yan Zhi" in the Ming Dynasty: After reading the law and reading books for forty years, there is a blue sky above the black gauze head. The man wants to paint Lingyan Pavilion. First of all, he doesn’t like money because of his fame.
3. "Academy" by Liu Guo of the Song Dynasty: Mechanics are like hard work, and you know yourself if you are diligent and lazy. But if there are many kinds of books, there will be good times.
4. Han Dynasty Yuefu's "Long Song Xing": Sunflowers in the green garden, the morning dew awaits the setting sun. In the spring of Budeze, all things will be radiant. I am often afraid that when the autumn festival comes, the yellow flowers and leaves will wither. From the east to the sea, when will the rivers return to the west? If a young man does not work hard, the old man will be miserable.
5. "Miscellaneous Poems" by Tao Yuanming of Jin Dynasty: The prime years will never come again, and it will be difficult for one day to wake up again. Be encouraged in time, time waits for no one.
6. Du Xunhe of the Tang Dynasty, "Residence and Calligraphy": The shadow of the bamboo on the window shakes on the writing desk, and the sound of the wild spring flows into the inkstone pond. A young man's hard work will eventually lead to success. Don't waste time and effort.
7. "White Deer Cave Poems" by Wang Zhenbai of the Tang Dynasty: When I read, I don't realize that spring is already deep, and every inch of time is worth every inch of gold. The Taoist is not here to make people laugh, Zhou Qing and Kong Sizheng are pursuing it.
8. Xunzi's "Encouragement to Learning": If you persevere, the rotten wood will not break; if you persevere, the metal and stone can be carved.
9. Lu You's "Winter Night Reading Shows Ziyu": The ancients spared no effort in learning, and it was only when they were young that they were able to achieve success.
10. Wang Zhenbai's "Two Poems from White Deer Cave, Part 1": When I read, I don't realize it's already spring, every inch of time is worth every inch of gold.
Extended information:
1. Inspiration is not only to activate a person’s desire for wealth, but also to activate a person’s life energy and awaken the creative enthusiasm of a nation.
2. Inspiration is to let a person regain this power. It's not about letting the weak replace another person to become the strong one, but it's about letting a weak person be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the strong person and have equal vitality and creativity. Only the power that unfolds from the depths of the heart and the essence summed up through spiritual experience is the way for a person to truly gain dignity and self-confidence.
