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

Wang Zhenbai of Tang Dynasty
When I read, I don’t realize that spring is already deep, and every inch of time is worth an inch of gold. The Taoist is not here to make people laugh, Zhou Qing and Kong Sizheng are pursuing it.

Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty
As soon as the half-acre square pond is opened, the skylight and moonlight linger endlessly. Ask the canal how clear it is, because there is a source of living water.

Xiao Luan of the Qing Dynasty said
The human heart is like a good seedling, and it will grow if it is nourished. The seedlings are irrigated by spring water, and the heart is nourished by reason. If you don't study for a day, you will have no good ideas. If you don’t read for a month, your ears and eyes will lose their clarity.

Qing·Fashi Shan
Reading is like a tree that cannot grow suddenly.
Planted in empty mountains, the sun comes and the moon goes. The dew leaves are luxuriant and the smoke is becoming more and more vast.

Song Dynasty·Tao Yuanming
In Mengxia, the grass and trees are long and the trees are sparse around the house. The birds are happy to have their support,
I also love my house. I have plowed and planted, but I still read my books. The poor alley is separated by a deep rut, and it is quite possible to return to an old friend's car. Drinking spring wine and picking vegetables from my garden. The light rain comes from the east, and the good wind goes with it. Browse through the biographies of Zhou kings and view the mountains and seas. Looking down at the universe, how can I not be happy again!

I don’t tire of reading old books hundreds of times. Read it carefully and think deeply, and you will know yourself. It is inevitable that he will become an official in the future, but he will be able to pursue his career today.

[Song Dynasty] Lu You
In ancient times, knowledge has left no stone unturned, and kung fu can only be achieved when young and old. What I have learned on paper is ultimately shallow, and I know that I have to do it in detail.

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

Su Shi of the Song Dynasty
His career was wrapped in coarse silk cloth, and he had the spirit of poetry and calligraphy in his belly. I am tired of accompanying the old Confucian to cook gourd leaves, and force me to step on the locust flowers with my son. I don't have enough money to look for a virgin horse, and my eyes are wandering looking at the car for choosing a son-in-law. The pride is worthy of praise of the secular world, and the edicts of yellow and new wetness are like crows.
