Inherit the glorious tradition 200 words

Western Han Dynasty, there is a very good young man called Kuang Heng, but because of the family's poverty and lack of money to light lamps, a night in his house is dark, can not read. What could he do? One night, he saw the next door people lit candles, quietly cut a small hole in the wall, so that slightly through the hole of the candle reflected in the book, so he borrowed the neighbor's light every night to read, until the neighbor turned out the lights.

In this way, Kuang Heng overcame difficulties and created conditions in a poor learning environment by all means, and learned knowledge, and later became a famous scholar of the Western Han Dynasty. This shows that the external environment and conditions, is an important factor in people's learning, but not a determining factor, a person to achieve results, the key lies in their own hard work.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a man named Sun Jing who was a famous politician. When he was young, he was diligent and studious, often shutting his door and reading alone without stopping. Every day, he read from morning to night, often wasting sleep and food. After reading for a long time, he was tired and did not rest. After a long time, tired to doze off. He was afraid that it would affect his reading and learning, so he came up with a special way. In ancient times, men had long hair. He found a rope and tied one end securely to a beam. When he was tired of reading and dozed off, his head was lowered, and the rope would hold his hair, which would tear his scalp and immediately wake him up, and he would continue to read and study.

This is the story of Sun Jing hanging from a beam.

During the Warring States period, there was a man named Su Qin, who was also a famous politician. When he was a young man, he was not well educated, so he went to many places to work, but he was not taken seriously. When he returned home, his family was very cold to him and looked down on him. This was a great stimulus to him. Therefore, he made up his mind to study hard. He often studied late into the night, and was so tired that he often dozed off and wanted to sleep. He also came up with a way to prepare an awl, and when he dozed off, he stabbed himself in the thigh with the awl. In this way, he felt a sharp pain, which made him wake up, and then insisted on reading. This is the story of Su Qin's "stabbing".

[Note]: From the story of Sun Jing and Su Qin's study, the idiom of "stabbing one's thigh on a beam" was derived, which is used as a metaphor for the spirit of studying and learning hard. Their spirit of studying hard is good, but their way of studying hard is not to be imitated
