In p>1915, Huang Kan, a famous scholar, gave a lecture on Chinese studies at Peking University. He lives in Datong apartment in Baimiao Hutong, Beijing. He devotes himself to studying "Chinese studies" all day long. Sometimes he doesn't go out to eat. He prepares steamed bread, peppers, soy sauce and other condiments and puts them on his desk. When he is hungry, he eats steamed bread, reads while eating, and stops eating. When he sees the beauty, he shouts, "Wonderful!" Once, when I was fascinated by reading, I put the steamed bread into the inkstone and cinnabar box. After eating it for a long time, I painted it with a red face, but I didn't realize it. A friend came to visit and laughed. What did he still know to laugh at him?
Cao Yuzhen took a vacation from school and took a bath
During his stay in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Cao Yu taught at Jiang 'an National Drama College in Sichuan. One summer, Cao Yu's family once prepared a bathtub and hot water and asked him to take a bath. At this time, Cao Yu was reading a book, and he couldn't put it down. He pushed it again and again. Finally, under the repeated urging of his family, he walked into the inner room with a towel in one hand and a book in the other. An hour passed, and no one came out. From time to time, there was a faint sound of water in the room. Another hour passed and the situation remained the same. Cao Yu's family members were puzzled. When they opened the door, they saw that Cao Yu was sitting in the bathtub, reading with a book in one hand and patting water with a towel in the other.
Su Qin was so tired when he was studying day and night, so he stabbed his leg with an awl to clear his head. Sun Jing of the Han Dynasty tied his hair to the beam with a rope in order to prevent him from falling asleep while studying, and he would be woken up as long as he dozed off. This is the story of "stabbing the stock and hanging the beam" in history.
Che Yin, Sun Kang and Kuang Heng, who stole the Jin Dynasty, were so poor that they couldn't even afford to buy oil for lighting. In the summer night, Che Yin made a small pocket with gauze, caught some fireflies and put them in, using the bright book issued by fireflies; Sun Kang sat in the snow on a cold winter night, studying hard with the reflection of snow;
Kuang Heng chiseled a small hole in the wall and "stole" a little light from his neighbor's house to read. These are the stories told by the idioms "A firefly reflects snow" and "Stealing light by digging a wall".
Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty in Mo Chi, practiced calligraphy since childhood. Every time he finished writing, he went to the pond in front of his house to wash his brush. After a long time, a pool of clear water turned into a pool of ink. Later, people called this pond "Mo Chi". Through diligent study and hard practice, Wang Xizhi finally became a famous calligrapher and was called a "book saint".
