The poem about Xunzi's persuasion is 1. Xunzi's advice on learning, the more comprehensible poems to recite and remember, the better, and the most questions and answers.
Understanding dictation of "encouraging learning"
1. Confucius said: "Learn from time to time", and said: "Those who are born with knowledge are the best, and those who learn and know are the best." Xunzi put forward the viewpoint of "learning is not enough" in "Encouraging Learning", which inherited and developed Confucius' understanding of learning.
2. With the help of metaphor, wood changes after baking, even if it is baked again, it cannot be recovered. The saying that things can change their original state after certain changes is that although there are storms, they will come naturally.
3. Sometimes the author uses the method of contrast to organize two opposing situations together to form a sharp contrast to enhance the persuasiveness of the text. For example, when emphasizing that learning must be persistent, the meaningful sentences drawn by comparing bad horses with good horses are: one leap, not ten steps; This is a great contribution to the success of Ma Xu.
4. Both Confucianism and Taoism vividly discussed the importance of walking accumulation. "Lao Zi" said that "the nine-story platform starts from tired soil; A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. " Xunzi said in the "Persuasion" that "there is no far-reaching step."
5. "Gentlemen are born different" means that the natural nature of gentlemen is no different from others, but in the end they surpass the average person, because "good and false are better than things." . Explain that learning can make up for your own shortcomings.
6. The article emphasizes that learning should be single-minded. If you are not single-minded, you will be like a crab. The sentence that has accomplished nothing is: the crab kneels six times, the snake has nowhere to rest, and its heart is impetuous.
7. Confucius said in The Analects: "Learning without thinking is useless, and thinking without learning is dangerous." This paper discusses the relationship between learning and thinking. In Xunzi's "Persuasion", there is also a sentence that directly mentions the relationship between learning and thinking: I think all day, so it is better to learn in an instant.
8. Taking sculpture as a metaphor, it is emphasized that learning should be persistent, and only perseverance can achieve something: perseverance can carve a stone. .
9. This paper emphasizes that learning should be single-minded, and sets a metaphor from the front, pointing out that even if it is as weak as an earthworm, it will achieve something single-minded: the earthworm has no advantages as a pawn, but its bones and muscles are strong, and it is also single-minded.
10. Xunzi's "Encouraging Learning" said: "shine on you, green is blue." Liu Yuxi said in his poem: "The new leaves in Fanglin urge the old leaves, and the waves before the running water are the waves after." They all express the idea that students can surpass teachers or future generations can surpass predecessors.

2. Persuasive poems
The ancients wrote many poems to persuade students to study. From the perspective of poetry appreciation, it may not be artistic, but it is widely circulated among the people. All scholars have learned such poems in their childhood. For example, the sentence in "Avatar" Poetry Collection says: "Young and talented, you have high ambitions in life. Others have swords, and I have pens like knives. " "When you become Tian Shelang, you will become the son of heaven. You will be a man. " When I advise you to be a teenager, you should fold the flowers straight, and don't wait for them to fail. Of course, there is also "the book has its own golden house, and the book has its own Yan Ruyu". In the past, adults taught children to take what they needed in these poems and let them recite them. When I was a child, I copied the sentences in my diary. Later, I read more ancient poems and found some interesting ones. In "Poems to Encourage Learning", Han. Just 20 words tell a lot about reading. You should read more books and think more. You should really understand the truth in the book. Reading is not enough. You should apply what you have learned, and you should pay attention to practice. When it comes to the realm of reading, we have to mention Zhu's two books, Reading Comprehension, which are well-known masterpieces. One is: "Half an acre of square pond is open, and one is open." Second: "Last night, the river was full of spring water, and Meng Chong's boat was light. It has always been a waste of energy, but it is easy to travel today. " Reading books in this realm is, of course, a wise man and a scholar in a university. Similar to the poems to persuade students to learn, there are many poems that advocate cherishing time. For example, Yan Zhenqing, a great calligrapher, wrote a poem "Persuade to Learn": "It's time for men to study at night. Black hair doesn't know how to study hard early. " Persuading people to cherish time is more interesting than empty talk. Tao Yuanming also wrote a poem to advise people to cherish time: "When the prime of life no longer comes, it's hard to wake up. Encourage in time and wait for no one. " When it comes to poems that cherish time, it is natural to think of the songs of yesterday, today and tomorrow of the ancients. These three poems appeared in different times, but they are the same. Yesterday has passed, but today is just a worry. People know that they regret yesterday, but they don't realize that today has passed. The water is gurgling and the sunset is few. Don't wait for the Ming Dynasty to regret what you can do today. "Song of Today": "Today is today, how rare today is! If you don't do it today, when will it happen? Today is a hundred years of life, and today is not a pity! If we wait until the arrival of the Ming Dynasty, there will be other things in the Ming Dynasty. Let's start today's poetry for you. " Song of Tomorrow: "Tomorrow follows tomorrow, and tomorrow is more than that. If I wait until tomorrow, everything will be in vain. If the world is tired of tomorrow, it will go to Qiu Lai like a veteran in spring. Look at the running water in the east and the sunset in the west. What will tomorrow be like in a hundred years? Please listen to my song tomorrow. "These three poems, now read, still feel vivid and fluent, and the truth is also popular and appropriate, which can cause people to sing * * *. Tang Yan's sincere "Persuade to Learn" is a night when a man is studying. Black hair doesn't know how to study hard early, and white head regrets studying late. Don's "Golden Stripes" advises you not to cherish the golden strippers, but to cherish your youth. As the saying goes, if you are sick enough, you can't learn, and if you are sick enough, you can't learn. Song Taizong's Diligent Reading has a rich man who doesn't need to buy fertile land, but the book has its own golden house. Marrying a wife doesn't hate bad media. There is Yan Ruyu in the book. Going out, there are so many cars and horses. Men want to make a living, and read to the window after six classics. Song and Liu studied the mechanics of the academy. Will be years old. Song Lu No.9 College is in a hurry to study, and swimming is also very interesting. You might as well let nature take its course unconsciously, but you need to think about it urgently. In Yuan Wengsen's Four Seasons Reading Music, the winter wood falls into the water and is as dry as a cliff. I can see my true self. Sitting on Wei's wall, singing, snowing in the middle of the night, and the fire in the teapot is enough to be called the heart of plum blossoms. Yang Mingjisheng has been reading Yan Zhi's Poems for forty years, and there is a blue sky above Wusha. Men want to draw Lingyange, but they don't love money for the first time.
3. Advise students to learn ancient poetry
According to its content, ancient "admonition poems" can be roughly divided into six categories: 1. I am determined to have fewer children and learn more, and I have high aspirations in life. Others have swords, and I have pens like knives. I am Tian Shelang, and I am the emperor at dusk. I have no seeds, and men should strive for self-improvement. (Poetry of a child prodigy) After forty years of studying French, Wu Sha's head turned blue. It's time for men to study. Black hair doesn't know how to study hard early, and white head regrets studying hard late. (Don Yan Zhenqing's "Persuasion") Mechanics is like ploughing, and you know it diligently. But if you make many kinds of books, you will get old. (Liu Song reads Academy) Third, cherish time and wait for the sun in the green garden. In spring, everything is brilliant. I am often afraid that autumn festivals will come. The leaves of yellow flowers decline. When will all rivers enter the sea and return to the west? Young people will be sad if they don't work hard. (Long song) The prime of life is gone forever, and it is hard to get up in the morning. Timely encouragement, time waits for no one. (Tao Jin Yuanming's Miscellaneous Poems) Advise you not to cherish gold clothes, and advise you not to cherish youth. If there are flowers, be sure to fold them straight. Don't wait until they are empty. (Tang Jin Yi) Repeat today. If you don't do it today, when will it happen? Today is a hundred years of life, and today is not a pity! If we wait until the Ming Dynasty, there will be other things in the Ming Dynasty. Let's begin today's poem. Ming Wen Jia's Song of Today will come again tomorrow, and there will be so many tomorrows. If I live and wait for tomorrow, everything will be in vain. If the world is tired of tomorrow, it will go to Qiu Lai like a veteran in spring. Look at the flowing water in the east and the sunset at dusk. What will tomorrow be like in a hundred years? Please listen to my song tomorrow. (Qian Qing sings "Tomorrow Song") Fourth, the reading method is in a hurry and the swimming time is long. You might as well let go unconsciously, but you need to think about it urgently. There are not many students suffering from reading disorder, just as the meaning is unclear. If you have enough to learn, you can't learn. (Tang Hanyu's "Persuasion Poetry") Fifth. To have a source of living water. (Song Zhuxi's Thoughts on Reading) Last night, the river was full of spring water, and the boat in Meng Chong was light. It has always been in vain, but today it flows freely. (Song Zhuxi's Thoughts on Reading) Sixthly, the interesting wood fell into the water and dried up a thousand cliffs, but I also saw my true self. Sitting on the wall of Wei, singing snow at midnight. The stove and teapot on the ground cooked a living fire, and the plum blossoms in my heart bloomed all over the world. (Yuan Wengsen, "Four Seasons Reading Music in Winter") Reading in spring is interesting, grinding its inkstone and writing its flowers. Don't be lazy in reading and studying, the world, the sun and the moon are busier than people. Brother Yan understands, while Li Bai writes articles. (Xiong Boyi read songs in spring in the four seasons of the Republic of China.
4. Write an ancient poem about exhortation and indicate the author's title.
Xunzi's persuasion is the first article in Xunzi, and "persuasion" means "persuasion".
"Encouraging Learning" discusses the significance, function, method and attitude of learning, reflects some correct views of pre-Qin Confucianism in education, and also embodies Xunzi's artistic style as a master of pre-Qin philosophers' thoughts. Xunzi (about 3 13~ 238 BC) was born in Zhao at the end of the warring States period.
Famous thinkers, writers and contemporary people are honored as "Xun Qing", and the works of the Han Dynasty were written as "Sun Qing" because they avoided the taboo of Xuan Di and Liu Xun, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. He studied in Xia Ji, Qi State for three times, and later made the Chu Lan Order.
Han Fei and Li Si are both his students. He was the last representative of Confucianism in the pre-Qin period. He inherited Confucius' theory, sublated its negative elements, critically absorbed the thoughts and theories of various schools, and became the representative of simple materialism in the pre-Qin period.
His prose is thorough in reasoning, vigorous in momentum, simple in language, concise and meticulous in syntax, multi-parallelism and good in metaphor. There are 32 articles in Xunzi, of which 26 were written by Xunzi and the last 6 were written by his disciples.

Encouraging Learning is an ancient poem by Yan Zhenqing, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. Encourage young people to cherish their youth and study hard.
