In the Western Han Dynasty, there was a farmer's child named Kuang Heng. He wanted to study very much when he was a child, but because his family was poor, he couldn't afford to go to school. Later, he learned to read from a relative before he could read.
Kuang Heng can't afford books, so he has to borrow books to read. At that time, books were so valuable that people who had books refused to lend them to others easily. During the busy farming season, Kuang Heng worked as a short-term worker for wealthy families and asked them to lend him books for free.
A few years later, Kuang Heng grew up and became the main labor force in the family. He works in the field all day, and only has time to read a little book during his lunch break, so it often takes ten days and a half months to finish reading a book. Kuang Heng was in a hurry, thinking: planting crops during the day, no time to read, you can spend more time reading at night. But Kuang Heng's family is too poor to buy oil for lighting. What should we do?
One night, Kuang Heng was lying in bed reciting the books he had read during the day. Behind me, I suddenly saw a light coming through the east wall. He stood up and went to the wall to have a look. Ah! It turned out that the neighbor's light came through the cracks in the wall. So Kuang Heng thought of a way: he picked up a knife and dug several cracks in the wall. In this way, the light coming through is also very big, so he gathered the light coming through and began to read.
Kuang Heng studied so hard that he became a learned man.
2. The group heard the chicken dance.
When Xiongnu nobles ran rampant in the north and the Western Jin Dynasty was facing collapse, some ambitious generals in the Jin Dynasty insisted on staying in the north.
Party struggle. Liu Kun is such an outstanding representative.
Liu Kun had a good friend named Zu Ti when he was young. At the beginning of the Western Jin Dynasty, they lived together in Sizhou (now a genus).
At night, they sleep in the same bed and talk about state affairs, often at midnight.
One night, while they were sleeping soundly, Zu Ti was awakened by a crow. Zu Ti looked out of the window,
There is a waning moon hanging on the horizon, and the east has not turned white.
Zu Ti doesn't want to sleep. He kicked Liu Kun. Liu Kun woke up, rubbed his eyes and asked what was going on. Zu Ti said, "Listen.
Listen, it's a good voice. It woke us up. "
They got up happily, picked up the sword hanging on the wall, walked out of the house and danced with it in the early morning light.
In this way, they practiced martial arts together every day, studied the art of war together, and finally became famous generals.
3. Snow glows in the bag
Che Yin catches fireflies as reading lamps, and Sun Kang studies the reflection of snow. Both of them are models of hard work.
4. Head hanging beam, awl thorn stock. Hanging beam on the head: Sun Jing, a famous scholar in Jin Dynasty, studied hard day and night and was afraid of being sleepy, so he hung his hair on the beam with a rope. When he was sleepy, he got up and went on studying. Investing in stocks: During the Warring States Period, there was a good scholar named Su Qin who studied hard day and night. If you are sleepy, stick an awl in your thigh and continue to study after waking up. Describe studying hard and never slacking off.
It seems that it has nothing to do with studying hard. .
Everyone knows the story of a snow-covered door: In the Song Dynasty, Shi Yang once went to see his teacher Cheng Yi, while Cheng Yi was dozing off, and neither Shi Yang nor his classmate You Zuo could stand up. When Gauge woke up, the snow outside was a foot deep. The story recorded in History of Song Dynasty is undoubtedly to praise Yang and You for "respecting teachers and valuing Taoism".
