1. Wang Xizhi
When Wang Xizhi was still young, he practiced Du very hard. It is said that he used a bad writing brush to practice calligraphy. He piled a branch on a branch to form a mountain of small knives. People called it "Mountain of Pens". There was a small pool next to his house. He often washed his brushes and inkstones in this pool. The water in this small pool was black. People called this small pool the "ink pool". When he grew up, Wang Xizhi wrote very well and still practiced every day.

2. The hanging beams are bone-piercing
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a man named Sun Jing, who was a famous politician. When he was young, he was so diligent that he often closed the door and read without taking a break. Reading from morning to night every day, I often forget to eat and sleep. After studying for a long time, I didn’t take a break when I was tired. For a long time, I was exhausted and sleepy.
He was afraid of affecting his study, so he thought of a special method. In ancient times, men had long hair. He found a rope and tied it firmly to the beam. When he took a nap due to fatigue and lowered his head, the rope would catch his hair, which would cause pain in his scalp. He would wake up immediately and continue reading and studying.
3. Chiseling through walls to steal light
In the Western Han Dynasty, there was a scholar named Kuang Heng. When he was a child, he loved reading very much, but his family was very poor and could not afford candles, and he often worried about this. That night, Kuang Heng accidentally discovered that there seemed to be a bright light on his wall. He got up and saw that it was a crack in the wall, and a neighbor's candle came out of the crack.
Kuang Heng saw it and immediately came up with a solution. He took a chisel and cut a small hole in the crack in the wall. Immediately, the candlelight came over, and Kuang Heng looked at the book seriously in front of the candlelight. From then on, Kuang Heng would lean against the wall every night and read with the help of a neighbor's candle. Due to his diligence and studiousness in childhood, Kuang Heng later became a scholar with profound knowledge of Confucian classics.
4. Chen Ping studied
Chen Ping endured humiliation and studied. Chen Ping can be called a good example. A young man in the Western Han Dynasty, he and his brother depended on each other. In order to uphold his father's glory, he did not engage in production and studied behind closed doors, but he was not a sister-in-law. In order to eliminate the conflicts between his older brothers and sisters, he faced repeated humiliation and kept his hair. After the sister-in-law returned, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and ran away from home. After being restored by her younger brother, the grey-haired troubadour resisted her brother and sister-in-law with resentment and became a good talk in the local area. Finally, an old man came to teach for free. After studying, he helped Liu Bang achieve a brilliant career.
