I read until late at night every day. I went to bed when I was tired, and then I turned over in a daze. The bed leans in the direction of short feet. He woke up suddenly, got out of bed at once and read at night. Every day, without interruption.
As a result, he achieved excellent results every year and was regarded as one of the three outstanding figures in his class. Because he studied hard as a teenager, he eventually became an outstanding economist in China.
2. When Zhuge Liang was a teenager, he studied under Mr. Si Mahui, a water mirror. Zhuge Liang studied hard and used his head diligently. Not only Si Mahui appreciates him, but also Si Mahui's wife values him very much. She likes this studious and brainy boy. At that time, there were no clocks, and time was recorded by sundials. There is no sun on rainy days.
Time is not easy to grasp. In order to record time, Si Mahui trained cock to crow on time by feeding regularly. In order to learn more, Zhuge Liang wanted Mr. Wang to extend the lecture time, but Mr. Wang always relied on the crow, so Zhuge Liang thought: if the crow time is extended, Mr. Wang's lecture time will be extended.
So he brought some food in his pocket when he went to school. It is estimated that when the chicken is about to crow, he will feed it some food, and the chicken will not crow when it is full.
After a while, Mr. Sima wanted to know why the chicken didn't crow on time. Careful observation shows that Zhuge Liang fed the chickens when they crowed.
Mr. Wang was very angry at first, but he was soon moved by Zhuge Liang's studious spirit, caring more about him, paying more attention to him and having no reservations about his education. Zhuge Liang is more diligent. Through Zhuge Liang's own efforts, he finally became a local scholar who knew astronomy and geography.
Confucius studied hard all his life and especially liked the Book of Changes in his later years. The Book of Changes is difficult to read and learn, but Confucius is not afraid of suffering and reads it repeatedly until he understands it.
Because paper was not invented in the era when Confucius lived, books were all written in bamboo slips or wooden slips, which were both stupid and heavy. Many bamboo slips are woven together with thongs to make a book. Because Confucius studied hard and often exhibited letters and bamboo slips, the pimp was broken three times. Later, people created the idiom "Bian Wei's Three Musts" to express Confucius' studious spirit.
4. Che Yin, Sun Kang and Kuang Heng in Jin Dynasty were so poor that they couldn't even afford to buy oil for lighting. In the summer night, Che Yin made a small bag with gauze, caught some fireflies and put them in, reading by the light of fireflies.
Sun Kang sat in the snow on a cold winter night, studying hard through the reflection of snow; Kuang Heng cut a small hole in the wall and "stole" a little light from his neighbor's house to read. These are the stories told by the idioms "A firefly reflects snow" and "Digging a wall to steal light".
5. Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, practiced calligraphy since childhood. Every time he finishes writing, he goes to the pond in front of his house to wash his brush. After a long time, a pool of clear water turned into a pool of ink.
Later, people called this pond "Mo Chi". Through diligent study and hard practice, Wang Xizhi finally became a famous calligrapher, known as the "book saint".
