Wang Xizhi practiced calligraphy very hard and attentively. Even while walking, sitting, or sleeping, I was thinking about how to write well. He has been sending messages for many years like this. The calligraphy written on someone's post will resemble that person's calligraphy. It's really a subtle and subtle way of writing. One night, he practiced calligraphy until very late. His wife urged him to rest many times before he went to bed; when he got to bed, lying under the quilt, his mind was still full of copybooks, so he couldn't help but write on his wife's belly, using his fingers as a pen.
His wife was sleeping with her eyes closed, and she couldn't fall asleep due to his fingers scratching her back and forth. He pushed his hand away and said angrily: "You have your body, and I have mine. If you want to write, just write on your own body."
After hearing his wife's words, Wang Xizhi felt something in his heart: "Yes, yes, you have your body, and I have mine. I can't always follow other people's gourd paintings, I want to create my own font."
From then on, he practiced calligraphy hard, Continuously innovating, he finally created his own font and became a generation of calligraphy saints in China.

During the Jin Dynasty, there was a man named Sun Kang who was very studious. His family was too poor to buy lamp oil and couldn't study at night, so he tried his best to study hard. On winter nights, he often read outdoors by the light of the snow, regardless of the cold weather. (Sun Kang Yingxue studied hard)
At that time, there was another person named Che Yin (yin), who, like Sun Kang, had no money to buy lamp oil. On summer nights, he caught many fireflies, put them in gauze bags, illuminated them with fluorescent lights, and studied day and night. (Che Yin Nang Ying night reading)

During the Han Dynasty, Zhu Maichen’s family was very poor when he was a child. In order to maintain his livelihood, he had to go to the mountains to cut firewood every day and had no time to study. But he was eager to learn and often read while walking with firewood on his back. (Zhu Maichen studied with a salary)
In the Sui Dynasty, there was a man named Li Mi who herded cattle for others when he was a child. Every day when he went out, he would take a few books and hang them on the horns of the cow. While the cow was grazing, he would sit on the grass and read attentively. (Li Mi Niujiao hanging book)
Hanging beams and thorns
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a man named Sun Jing, a famous politician. When he was young, he was diligent and studious. He often closed the door and studied alone. I read from morning to night every day, often forgetting to eat and sleep. After studying for a long time, I was tired and didn’t rest. After a long time, I was so tired that I dozed off. He was afraid that it would affect his study and study, so he came up with a special method. In ancient times, men's hair was very long. He found a rope and tied one end firmly to the beam. When he was tired from studying, he took a nap. When he lowered his head, the rope would hold his hair, which would hurt his scalp. He would wake up immediately and continue reading and studying. (Sun Jing studied hard in Xuanliang)
Chinese wall to borrow light
Kuang Heng was very studious when he was young. His family was very poor and could not afford candles. When Kuang Heng wanted to study at night, he often worried about the lack of light. Later, he thought of a way and quietly drilled a small hole in the wall. Let the candlelight from the house next door shine through. In this way, he often studied late at night, and later became a famous scholar in the Western Han Dynasty and once served as the prime minister of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty. It can be seen from the example of cutting a wall to borrow light: external factors (environment and conditions) are not the decisive factor. Kuang Heng finally became a member in one fell swoop through his hard work and perseverance under extremely difficult conditions. This shows that internal factors are the basis and primary cause for the development and change of things, while external factors are only the conditions that affect the changes of things, and they must work through internal factors.
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 to eat and sleep, just studying. From my childhood poems and poems, my writing has reached an adult level, which is so high. (Ouyang Xiu painted the ground with Di)
Painted the ground with Di
This is the story of Sun Jing’s hanging beam.
During the Warring States Period, there was a man named Su Qin who was also a famous politician. When I was young, due to my limited knowledge, I went to work in many places but was not taken seriously. After returning home, his family was also very cold towards him and looked down upon him. This stimulated him greatly. Therefore, he made up his mind to study hard.
He often studied until late at night and was very tired. He often took naps and wanted to sleep. He also figured out a way to prepare an awl, and when he dozed off, he would use the awl to prick his thigh. In this way, I suddenly felt pain, woke myself up, and continued reading. This leads to the story of Su Qin's "gut stabbing". (Su Qin pricked his legs and studied hard)
[Note]: From the story of Sun Jing and Su Qin who were studying, the idiom "hanging their legs and pricking their legs" is used to describe the spirit of studying hard and studying hard. Their spirit of studying hard is good, but their methods of studying hard do not need to be imitated.
·The story of Premier Zhou. In a primary school in Shenyang at the beginning of the 20th century, the principal asked the students: "Why are you studying?" There was a sudden silence in the class. After a while, a classmate stood up respectfully and replied: "Studying is to find a way out." As soon as he finished speaking, another classmate said: "To honor our ancestors!" At this time, Zhou Enlai stood up from his seat, with his head held high and his chest high. He replied loudly: "Study for the rise of the Chinese nation and take off in the world." He was only 12 years old at the time. In order to make China take off and revitalize the motherland, Premier Zhou has grown up to be a "people's good prime minister" with such a great ambition.
