[Tang Dynasty] Yan Zhenqing
The lights are on at three o'clock and the chickens are on at five o'clock,
It is when men are studying .
Black-haired people don’t know how to study diligently early,
White-haired people regret studying late.

Tang Dynasty·Wang Zhenbai
I don’t realize that spring is already deep while reading,
Every inch of time is an inch of gold .
It is not the Taoist who comes to make people laugh,
Zhou Qing and Kong Sizheng are pursuing.

Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty
Half an acre of square pond is opened,
The sky is bright and the moon is shadowed* **Wandering.
Ask the canal how clear it is,
because there is a source of living water.

Qing Dynasty Xiao Luan said
The human heart is like a good seedling,
if it is nourished, it will Hereby.
The seedlings are irrigated by spring water, and the heart is nourished by reason and righteousness.
If you don’t study 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.

Qing·Fashishan
Reading is like a tree,
cannot seek sudden growth.
Planted in empty mountains,
The sun comes and the moon goes.
The dew leaves are smooth and luxuriant,
The smoke is becoming more and more luxuriant.

Tao Yuanming of the Song Dynasty
The grass and trees in Mengxia are long, and
the trees around the house are sparse.
The birds are happy to have their support,
I also love my house.
Already plowed and planted,
still reading my book.
The poor alleys are separated by deep ruts,
It’s quite possible to return to an old friend’s car.
Let’s talk happily and drink spring wine,
pick vegetables from my garden.
The light rain comes from the east,
and the good wind goes with it.
Read the biography of the king of Zhou,
Look at the mountains and seas.
Looking down at the end of the universe,
How can I not be happy again!

It is possible to pursue him today.

[Song Dynasty] Lu You
Learning from ancient times has left no stone unturned,
Young people are old and Kung Fu is old Beginning.
What you have learned on paper will eventually make you realize it.
I know that this matter must be carried out.

Liu Guo of the Song Dynasty
Mechanics is like hard work,
You know yourself if you are diligent and lazy.
But if there are many kinds of books,
there will be a time of prosperity.

Su Shi of the Song Dynasty
Wrapped his life in coarse silk cloth,
There are poems and books in his belly Qi Zihua.
I am tired of accompanying the old scholar to cook gourd leaves,
I am forced to step on the locust flowers with my son.
I have no money to look for a young horse,
I am looking at the car for choosing a son-in-law.
Proudness is worthy of praise from the secular world,
The words of Huang Xinshu are like crows
