In the Tang Dynasty, Shimi heard that Baojie was in Lushan Mountain and went to visit him. He rode an ox with a roll of Hanshu hanging on the corner, reading while walking. Su Yang, the king of Yue, saw him on the road, bridled the reins and followed him and said, "What books make you so diligent?" Shi Biao said it was a biography of Xiang Yu. Su Yang then talked with Shi Mi, thinking that he was a wizard (see The Book of the New Tang Dynasty, Shi Mi Chuan). Later, I used the metaphor of "hanging a book in the corner" to study hard.
Reading with the light of fireflies in bags or the reflected light of snow-pursuing knowledge under difficult conditions
This is an allusion consisting of two stories. Yeast: fireflies are bagged; Snow reflection: Use the reflection of snow. Use the light of fireflies and the reflection of snow in your pocket to read books at night.
Che Yin studied hard, never put down his books and read widely, but his family was poor and he couldn't afford lamp oil. In summer, he put dozens of fireflies on white cloth and used their light to read around the clock (see Biography of Che Yin in the Book of Jin).
The Liang family in the Southern Dynasties was poor and had no money to buy lamps and candles. He often reads in the snow at night. Later generations often regard "a firefly reflecting snow" as a model of diligence.
Drill a hole in the wall to get some light from the neighbor's house (study very hard)
During the Han Dynasty, Kuang Heng studied very hard. There were no candles, but all his neighbors had candles. So Kuang Heng cut a small hole in the wall and read a book by the light coming in from next door (which contained "Miscellanies of Xijing"). Later generations used "digging the wall to borrow light" to describe diligent study and hard study.
Study hard
Bian Wei: In ancient times, books were written with bamboo slips, which were tied together with cooked cowhide ropes, and were called "Bian Wei"; Three: the divisor refers to many times; Absolutely: broken. Confucius liked to study Zhouyi in his later years, and compiled Yi Zhuan to explain Zhouyi, such as Cohesion, Xiangci, Shuogua and Classical Chinese. Due to repeated reading of Zhouyi, the rope for compiling simplified books was broken many times (see Historical Records Confucius Family). Houpan is used to describe diligent study.
study hard
Su Qin was born in Luoyang in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. He went to Qi to learn vertical and horizontal skills from Guiguzi. After he finished his studies, he went to lobby the king of Qin and wrote ten letters, all to no avail. He ran out of money with him, and he went home in a mess. His elder brother, elder brother, sister-in-law, younger sister, wife, and concubine are all secretly laughing at him, saying that he is not doing anything, and he deserves it. After hearing this, Su Qin felt ashamed and secretly sad, so he made a determined effort to study. If you are sleepy, poke your thigh with an awl. When you wake up, read again. Finally, he became the prime minister of the six countries and the joint leader of the six countries. Later, I used the metaphor of "stabbing stocks" to study hard.
In the Han Dynasty, when Sun Jing was sleepy, he tied his hair to the beam with a rope and woke up after a nap. Finally, he became a contemporary scholar. Later, I used the metaphor of "stinging the stocks and hanging the beam" to study hard.
Absolute concentration on learning
This allusion means that you don't have time to see the scenery in the garden, and it describes burying your head in reading and concentrating on your studies. Dong Zhongshu gave lectures and stayed at home for three years, so he had no time to see the scenery in the garden. His disciples accepted his disciples again, and some of his later disciples had never seen him. He devoted himself to this degree (see the biography of Han Dong Zhongshu). Later used to describe burying oneself in reading and staying at home.
