Reading at night in the snow

Sun Kang, a native of Jingzhao (now Luoyang, Henan) in the Jin Dynasty, was an official Censor doctor.

When Sun Kang was young, he loved studying and often felt that he didn't have enough time. He wanted to study day and night, but his family was poor and he had no money to buy lamp oil. Once it gets dark, there is no way to study. Especially in winter, when the nights are long, he sometimes tosses and turns for a long time and has difficulty falling asleep. There is really no other way but to read more during the day and recite silently in bed at night.

One night, he woke up and suddenly found a few rays of white light coming through the window. When I opened the door, I saw it was snowing heavily. The roof is white, the ground is white, and the trees are white. The whole earth was covered with a layer of silver, sparkling and dazzling him. He stood in the yard admiring the beautiful scenery after the snow covered with snow, and suddenly something came to his mind: Can he read under the light of the snow? He hurried back to the house, took out the book and looked at the reflection in the snow. Sure enough, the handwriting was clear and much brighter than a small yellow oil lamp!

From then on, Sun Kang no longer worried about the lack of lamp oil. Throughout the winter, he read day and night, not afraid of the cold or feeling tired, and often read until the rooster crowed. Even when the north wind howled and dripping water turned into ice, he never stopped studying. Hard work paid off. Sun Kang worked hard and made great achievements in his studies, and finally became a very famous scholar.

In the Han Dynasty, there was a man named Sun Jing who was diligent and studious since he was a child. He studied late every night. In order to avoid getting sleepy, he tied one end of the rope to the post's hair and the other end to the beam. During the Warring States Period, there was a man named Su Qin who wanted to do a big career, so he studied hard. Whenever he reads late at night, he always likes to take a nap. So, while he was napping, he pricked his thigh with an awl to cheer him up. The story of Sun Jing and Su Qin moved future generations, and people used the word "hanging beam to stab the buttocks" to express the spirit of hard study.

Li Bai was very playful when he was a child and often skipped school. Once, he ran out of school and went to the river to play. He saw an old woman grinding an iron rod on a stone. Li Bai was surprised and asked the old woman what she was doing by grinding the iron rod. The old woman said: "I am grinding a needle." Li Bai asked again, "When can such a thick iron rod be ground into a needle?" The old woman said: "As long as you have perseverance, the iron rod can be ground into a needle." Li Bai was very ashamed after hearing this. , studied hard from then on, and finally became a great poet.

After a 25,000-mile long march, he was finally able to sweep the country and became the founding king of the Republic of China. Regarding his great achievements in life, there is a popular saying among the people that the reason why *** was able to achieve hegemony has a lot to do with the Feng Shui in which his great-grandfather was buried. It is said that in 1930, the Kuomintang suffered repeated defeats in the war and thought it was due to the good dragon veins in Mao's ancestral tomb. Therefore, He Jian, the governor of Hunan Province, once assigned his trusted adjutant Xiong Daoqian to command a company of troops to dig up the ancestral graves of the Mao family in Xiangtan. However, under the protection of the local people, He Jian's army did not dig the ancestral graves of the Mao family.

One story is that ***'s grandfather Mao Yichen and his brother Mao Dechen both had their eye on a cemetery in Huxieping, and they couldn't compete with each other and reached an agreement that "the dead should be buried first, and the dead should be given up later." Mao Dechen was secretly happy because he was five years older than Mao Yichen, but he never expected that Mao Yichen would die first, so he found someone to bury him on an auspicious day. Mr. Feng Shui unexpectedly chose a day in the summer months eight years later when the Mao family had no choice but to place the coffin on the foundation of the Huxieping tomb. Since the soil at the tomb foundation could not be dug, it had to be covered with straw or the like. Eight years later, Mao's descendants uncovered the coffin and found that the coffin was as bright and intact as before. They dug a hole and found that only the acupuncture points were filled with soil and were surrounded by stones. Everyone knew that this was a coffin. Good location.

Another story is more legendary. It is said that there is a famous Feng Shui master in Hunan named "But Wu". He can't say more than five words in a sentence and has an arrogant personality. One year there was a severe drought in Hunan and there were many thieves. He was hungry and cold and fainted on the ground. He was rescued by his father Mao Shunsheng. Mao Shunsheng kindly persuaded him to flee and prepared some traveling expenses for him. When sending him on his way, Mr. "Nothing But Five" was so moved that he told Mao Shunsheng about a good acupoint he had found for many years. "No more than five" said: This mountain is like a woman running towards the moon, full of spiritual energy. If on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, when the moon's spiritual energy is shining on Chang'e's head, she puts the bones of her ancestors into it, the heaven and earth will be shaken. One of your sons will surely become the founding king of the country. However, the fate of the favored son will change immediately. His destiny is destined to be bitter first and then sweet. He will suffer a lot in his youth, but he will surely succeed one day. Later, as he said, Mao Shunsheng buried the bones of ***'s grandfather on the hole where Chang'e flew to the moon, giving birth to ***, the founding king of the Republic of China.
