Fan Zhongyan is two years old, lonely, poor and helpless. I have little ambition, and I take the world as my responsibility every time. I either study hard or stay out at night and need to face the water. If you don't give rice, just read porridge. As an official, every passionate talk about what's going on in the world is desperate. Even after being slandered, Dengzhou was protected by the government. Zhong Yan is hardworking, self-motivated and doesn't care about meat. His wife can only support herself. I often say to myself, "Worry about the world first, and enjoy it later."
Fan Zhongyan lost his father when he was two years old, and his family was poor and helpless. When he was young, he had great ambitions and often took the management of state affairs as his own responsibility. He studies very hard. Sometimes when he is sleepy at night, he washes his face with water. Sometimes I can't even eat, so I drink porridge and keep studying hard. After he became an official, he often talked emotionally about world events and risked his life. As a result, he was demoted as an official because of slanders and was demoted as a secretary of Dengzhou because of his involvement in political affairs. Fan Zhongyan tempered himself hard, eating little meat, and his wife and children were only self-sufficient in food and clothing. He often recites to himself: "You should be sad before everyone in the world is sad and enjoy it after everyone in the world is happy." . (This article was written by Ouyang Xiu)
Reflections on fan Zhongyan's experience of studying hard in adversity. This is why he can be an honest, compassionate and honest loyal minister.

2. Chen Fan is willing to sweep the world.
In the original text, Chen Fan's words are positive, and Run Anping Yu is also a human being. For fifteen years, Zu Hedong was a vassal. I tasted a room at leisure, and the court was filthy. Father and friend Qin Xue came from the same county to wait for him and said, "Why don't you clean up for the guests?" Fan said: "The way of a gentleman is to clean the world and settle down." It is strange to know that he has clear world ambitions. ———— From Ye Fan, the author of The Biography of Were Chen Fan.
Translated by Zhong Ju, Chen Fan, Runan Pingyu. His ancestors were the satrap of Hedong. When Chen Fan was fifteen years old, she once lived a leisurely life, and the yard and house were in a mess. Qin Xue, his father's friend in the same city, came to visit him and said to him, "Young man, why don't you clean the room to welcome the guests?" Chen Fan said: "A gentleman takes it as his duty to sweep away the evils in the world. How can you care about a house? " Qin Xue thinks that he has the ambition to clarify the world and is different from others.
Do everything seriously and deal with it, even if it is a small thing. If you can be reasonable and perfect in a small matter, then when you do something big, the advantages of dealing with people will be reflected at a glance. So we should form a good habit from now on, let this kind of good run through our life and make it a way of life. Even when sweeping the floor.
3. The painter Zhao Guang is indomitable.
Hefei people are a biography of the Li family. When he paints, every time he is around, he is good at painting for a long time, especially when painting horses, which will make people confused. Inflammatory thief. Thieves smell their good paintings, which makes them capture women. Resolutely resigning can't be drawn. Threatening with a white blade, refusing to obey, breaking his right thumb and sending him away; Use your left hand all your life. Random, but draw Guanyin tuas. In a few years, but death. Today, there are many kinds of Guanyin in Bo Shi, which are hidden by the literati. (Selected from Lu You's Notes on Old Learning Temple)
Hefei people, originally Li's little boy. When Li paints, he often asks for help. After a long time (Zhao Guang) became good at painting, especially painting horses, which can almost be confused with the original works. During the Jian Yan period, Zhao Guang fell into the hands of the nomads from the army. Jinbing heard that he was good at drawing, so he asked him to draw a robbed woman. Zhao Guang resolutely refused to paint, threatened the nomads from the army with a knife, (Zhao Guang) disobeyed, (nomads from the army) cut off his right thumb and drove him away. But Zhao Guang usually paints with his left hand. After the situation calmed down, Zhao Guang only painted Guanyin tuas. A few years later, he died, and most of Li's Guanyin paintings were written.
People say that since the Northern Song Dynasty, China has been "selling his soul". After the literati stepped onto the political stage, the martial spirit gradually declined. In fact, literati can also have their own integrity. If there were more Zhao Guang, why did the Northern Song Dynasty perish easily?
4. Xiang Yu is ambitious and talented.
Xiang Yu, formerly known as Yu, opposed Qin at the end of Qin Dynasty, and entered Xianyang to break Qin in three years. Later, he defeated Liu Bang for the sake of the world. When you are young, you can't read, go; You can't learn a sword. Xiang Liang flew into a rage. Ji said: "A book is enough to register a surname. Sword, one enemy, lack of knowledge. Learn from ten thousand enemies. " So Xiang Liang is a teacher of art of war, and he is very happy; I know a thing or two about it, but I refuse to study.
(Selected from Historical Records and Biography of Xiang Yu)
Xiang Yu was named Yu Zi. At the end of Qin dynasty, we fought against Qin dynasty. In three years, he invaded Xianyang and defeated the main force of Qin. Later, I competed with Liu Bang for the world and failed. Xiang Yu was unsuccessful in reading when he was young; I gave up (left) and learned fencing, and I accomplished nothing. Xiang Liang was angry at his behavior. Xiang Yu said, "Reading can only make me remember my name. Learning fencing can only fight one person, and it is not worth learning. I want to learn the ability to resist ten thousand enemies. " So Xiang Liang began to teach Xiang Yu the art of war. Xiang Yu was very happy, but when he probably knew the meaning, he didn't want to go any further (or finish).
Xiang Yu is a tragic hero. After the demise of the Qin dynasty, claiming to be the overlord, he was busy enfeoffment the princes and supporting the remnants of the nobles of the six countries, which violated the people's desire for reunification and caused a chaotic separatist situation. His behavior was cruel, killing Qin and more than 200,000 soldiers. After entering the customs, Qin Gong was burned and the fire broke out in March. His atrocities of burning, killing and looting violated the will of the people and were the root cause of his failure. Xiang Yu relied on martial arts to deter princes, lacked foresight and did not fight for alliances. He was jealous of talent and was unable to employ people, which led to rebellion and a lack of morale. Militarily, he lacks the vision of a strategist, is headstrong and is not satisfied with his own page. As a result, fighter planes were repeatedly lost, there was no consolidated rear base, and there was not enough food and troops. Although they won many battles, they turned from prosperity to decline. Therefore, although Xiang Yu's military command ability is outstanding, it is hard to avoid failure in the end.
5. Wen Zhiming studies Chinese characters.
It turns out that Wen Zhiming is writing "thousands of words", and at the rate of ten books a day, books have made great progress. I have lived in books all my life, and I have never hesitated, or simply answered people, and I have never taken pains again and again, so the older I get, the more subtle I am. (from the book Forest Chronicle)
Wen Zhiming copied Qian, writing ten books a day as the standard, and his calligraphy made rapid progress. Usually, I'm never careless about writing. Sometimes when you reply, if you are a little dissatisfied, you must change it again and again, and don't feel bored. Therefore, the older he gets, the more exquisite and wonderful his calligraphy becomes.
I feel that Wen Zhiming's calligraphy tells us that no matter what we do, we must persevere and not be sloppy; With the accumulation of quantity, there is a qualitative leap. If you want to do it overnight, or if you are careless, you will not succeed. We students should learn knowledge like Wen Zhiming's calligraphy in order to get excellent grades.
