Ancient inspirational growth story 1
When Wang Xizhi was young, he practiced calligraphy very hard. It is said that he practiced calligraphy with a broken brush and piled it into a hill, which people called "Pen Mountain". There is a small swimming pool next to his home. He often washes brushes and inkstones in this pool. Later, the water in the small pool turned black, so people called this small pool "Mo Chi".
When he grew up, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy was quite good, but he still insisted on practicing calligraphy every day. One day, he was so absorbed in practicing calligraphy in his study that he forgot to eat. The maid brought his favorite garlic paste and steamed bread to urge him to eat, but he still buried himself in writing, as if he didn't hear. The maid had no choice but to tell his wife. When the lady and the servant girl came to the study, they found Wang Xizhi holding a steamed bread covered with ink and stuffing it into his mouth, which made the corners of his mouth black. They couldn't help laughing. It turned out that Wang Xizhi was practicing calligraphy while eating, and when his eyes were still looking at calligraphy, he accidentally dipped the ink into garlic paste.
The lady said to Wang Xizhi with distress, "You should take care! Your handwriting is very good. Why do you practice so hard? "
Wang Xizhi looked up and replied, "Although my handwriting is good, it is all written on the basis of the past. If I want to have my own way of writing, I must work hard. "
After a period of hard exploration, Wang Xizhi finally wrote a beautiful and smooth new font. Everyone praised his calligraphy as relaxed as Cai Yun and vigorous as a dragonfly, and he was also considered as one of the outstanding calligraphers in the history of China.

Du Fu's family is a scholarly family. His distant ancestor Du Yu was a famous scholar and strategist in Jin Dynasty, and his grandfather Du Yu was a famous poet in the era of Wu Zetian. In such a family, Du Fu received a good education since childhood. As early as babbling, his mother taught him to recite ancient poems, from The Book of Songs to Songs of the South to Yuefu in the Han Dynasty. He has a good memory and can recite several poems a day. Over the years, I have packed hundreds of poems in my chest.
One day when he was seven years old, his father taught him to recite ancient poems, including the name "Phoenix". Du Fu had long heard of the Phoenix bird, but he had never seen it, so he looked up and asked his father, "What is the Phoenix bird like?" His father told him, "This bird is the king of birds in ancient legends. The male is a phoenix and the female is a phoenix." . Its head is like a chicken, its neck is like a snake, its collar is like a swallow, its back is like a turtle and its tail is like a fish. This bird is not a group with other birds, but a symbol of nobility. "Du Fu was impressed. After a while, he said to his father, "People with aspirations should be like a phoenix, right?" "Father stroked his head happily and said," Yes, yes. "
"Then I'll make a phoenix poem." Du Fu said. Father's eyes widened in surprise: "OK, you read it and I'll listen." So Du Fu shouted. In the poem, he eulogized his ideal phoenix to the fullest, and finally expressed his embrace: a man must be an outstanding person. Father was very happy to hear this, and trained him more attentively from then on.
By the age of 9, Du Fu had been able to write commonly used words, and he often wrote his favorite poems to adults. 14, 15 years old, the local poet must be present at the party, and sometimes people will call him down from the tree! At that time, there was a famous gathering place in Chang 'an, which was Wang Qi's home. Poets, scholars and artists often get together. What impressed Du Fu most was that he went to Wang Qi Palace through the introduction of his grandfathers, where he met many celebrities and was fortunate to enjoy the performance of the famous singer Li Guinian.
Du Fu left home at the age of 20. He traveled to wuyue, climbed Mount Tai and visited Zhao Yan, and gained a lot of knowledge. At the age of 33, he met another poet in Luoyang, that is Li Bai. In his forties, when the country was in turmoil, he left his hometown, drifted from place to place, and had no life, but he wrote poems that were told through the ages with blood and tears.
Ancient inspirational growth story 3
During the Warring States Period, Su Qin traveled around the world when he was young, hoping to get an official position. However, because of his shallow knowledge and no monarch who could convince other countries, he could not achieve his goal and had to go home despondently. People at home saw him in rags, sandals and bedrolls, returning home like a lost dog, and ignored him when they knew that he had not made a difference outside. His wife closed the door and wouldn't let him sleep, his sister-in-law wouldn't cook for him, and his parents scolded him for not making progress. Su Qin is in such adversity. At first, he just cried. Later, he learned that it was difficult to go out to lobby because he was too shallow.
From then on, he studied hard and studied late into the night every day. I was really sleepy, so I came up with a way to hang my head on the beam and stab my leg. That is to hang a rope on the beam and loosely put it on my head. When I dozed off, my head drooped and the rope tightened, so I woke up. If you are still awake and sleepy, stick an awl in your thigh. Once you feel painful and sober, you will continue reading. Although his method of torturing his own body is not clever and stupid, it was adopted in adversity for Su Qin, in order to motivate himself to study hard. It was in this stupid way that he forced himself to read a lot of books and increased his knowledge and talent.
Later, he went out to travel around the world again. He persuaded with rich knowledge and eloquence, helped Yan unite with Korea, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Qin and other countries, and defeated Qi with dual strategies. Although Su Qin himself died after being caught by Qi, he finally learned something through hard work in adversity, which is still of certain educational significance. Therefore, in ancient China, children were often taught to study hard with the story of "hanging beams on their heads and stabbing stocks on their bodies".
