Kuang Heng is diligent and studious, but there are no candles at home. There are candles next door, but the light can't reach his house. Therefore, Kuang Heng dug a hole in the wall to attract the light from his neighbors, so that it could be read in a book.
There is a big family in the county, which is famous for its literary knowledge, but it is rich and has many books. Kuang Heng went to his house as an employee, but he didn't want to be paid. The host was surprised and asked him why. He said, "I hope to read all the books of the host family." Hearing this, the master sighed deeply, so he lent Kuang Heng a book (to help Kuang Heng read it). So Kuang Heng became a great scholar.
2. Fireflies reflect snow
Sun Kang's family is too poor to afford lamp oil. One night in the middle of the night, Sun Kang woke up from his sleep. When he turned his head to the window, he found a ray of light in the window. It turned out to be light reflected by heavy snow. He found that he could use it to read. So he was so tired that he immediately got dressed, took out his book and went outside. The snow reflected on the wide earth is much brighter than the snow in the room.
Sun Kang ignored the cold and immediately read a book. His hands and feet were frozen stiff, so he got up and ran, rubbing his fingers at the same time. From then on, every snowy night, he never missed this good opportunity and studied tirelessly. This spirit of hard work has promoted his knowledge to advance by leaps and bounds and become a knowledgeable person. Later, he became an ancient scholar.
In the Jin Dynasty, Che Yin was always eager to study, but because of his poor family, his father could not provide him with a good learning environment. In order to maintain food and clothing, there is no extra money to buy him lamp oil for evening study. To this end, he can only recite poems during the day. ?
One night in summer, he was reciting an article in the yard when he suddenly saw many fireflies flying at low altitude. The flashing light is a bit dazzling in the dark. He thought, if you put many fireflies together, wouldn't it become a lamp?
So, he went to find a white silk bag, immediately caught dozens of fireflies and put them in, then tied the mouth of the bag and hung it up. It's not very bright, but it can be used for reading.
From then on, as long as there are fireflies, he will catch one to use as a lamp. Because he was diligent and eager to learn, he finally achieved something, and he went to the official department to be a minister.
3. Negative wages hanging angle
Shi Mi of Sui Dynasty was sent to the court of Yang Di as a bodyguard when she was a teenager. He is naturally flexible. When he was on duty, he looked around and was discovered by Emperor Yang Di. He thought the boy was dishonest, so he was excused from his job. Shi Biao is not depressed. After returning home, he studied hard and decided to be a learned man. Once, Shimi rode an ox to meet his friends. On the way, he hung Hanshu on the loudspeaker and took the time to study.
4. Bian Wei Three Musts
Books in the Spring and Autumn Period mainly used bamboo as bamboo slips to write, ranging from a few crosses to more than eight or nine characters. A book needs a lot of bamboo slips, which are connected in sequence with strong ropes and the like, and then a book is the last one, which is very convenient to read.
Usually, those woven with silk thread are called "silk braiding", those woven with hemp rope are called "rope braiding" and those woven with cooked cowhide rope are called "Wei braiding", among which the cooked cowhide rope is the strongest. A book as heavy as Zhouyi is of course made up of many bamboo slips woven together with cooked cowhide ropes.
Confucius spent a lot of energy reading the Book of Changes again and again, adding a lot of notes. I don't know how many times he opened it. It is generally believed that Confucius could read and write in this way, and the cowhide belt of serial bamboo slips was worn off several times and had to be replaced with new ones for repeated use.
Even after reading this, Confucius said, "If I live a few more years, I can fully grasp the literary quality of Zhouyi."
5, hanging beam stung people
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a young man named Sun Jing who was diligent and studious. He studies behind closed doors from morning till night, with little rest. Sometimes it is easy to take a nap in the middle of the night.
In order not to affect her study, Sun Jing came up with a way. He found a rope, one end of which was tied to his hair, and the other end was tied to the beam of the house, so that when he was tired of studying and dozed off, as long as he kept his head down and the rope caught his hair and hurt his scalp, he would wake up from the pain and continue to study. Later, he finally became a famous politician.
Su Qin was a famous politician in the Warring States Period, but when he was young, he didn't have much knowledge, and no one paid attention to him in many places. Even if he was ambitious, he couldn't be reused, so he made up his mind to study hard.
Because he often reads until late at night, when he is tired enough to take a nap, he pokes his thigh with an awl prepared in advance, so that the sudden pain makes him wake up at once and cheer up to continue reading.
