The ancients have had a tradition of encouraging learning and studying diligently since ancient times, and have also left behind many famous sayings, which are explained as follows according to different purposes:
1. Encouraging learning:
Song Dynasty poet Lu You's "Winter Night Reading Shows Ziyu":
The ancients spared no effort in learning, and it was only when they were young that their skills were perfected.
What you have learned on paper will eventually make you realize it, but you will definitely know that this matter must be carried out.
"Encouraging Learning" by Yan Zhenqing, a calligrapher of the Tang Dynasty:
The lights are on at three o'clock and the chickens are on at five o'clock, which is when men are studying.
Black-haired people don’t know how to study early, and white-haired people regret studying late.
Zhu Xi's "Poem to Encourage Learning"
It is easy for a young man to learn, but it is difficult for an old man to succeed, so one inch of time should not be taken lightly.
I haven’t realized the dream of spring grass in the pond, but the phoenix leaves in front of the steps have already sounded in autumn.
2. Miscellaneous feelings:
Song Dynasty poet Liu Guo's "Academy":
Mechanics is like hard work, and you know yourself if you are diligent and lazy.
But if there are many kinds of books, there will be times when they will be old.
The poet Xiao Luan of the Qing Dynasty once said, "Reading will reveal what you see and write":
If you don't read for a day, you will have no good ideas.
If you don’t read for a month, your eyes and ears will lose their clarity.
"Spring" from Xiong Boyi's "Reading Songs for Four Seasons" in the Republic of China:
Reading in spring brings long interest, grinding the inkstone, and the fragrance of flowers in the pen.
Don’t be lazy when studying. The world, the sun and the moon are busier than people.
