Why should he be named Wen?" Confucius replied: "Confucius is smart and eager to learn, and dares to humbly ask people who are inferior to himself in status and knowledge, without being ashamed." This is great and should be given the title of' Wen'. " After listening to Confucius' words, Zi Gong suddenly realized that he was completely convinced. He couldn't put down his pronunciation and explained: put it down; Volume: refers to books. Books never leave their hands. Describe being diligent and eager to learn.

Kuang Heng, a native of Donghai in the Western Han Dynasty (the name of Han County, east of Pixian County, Jiangsu Province, and even east of Ziyang County, Shandong Province), was born in a peasant family, and his grandfather and father were both farmers.

Kuang Heng went to his home to work, but he didn't charge a penny. The rich man felt very strange and asked Kuang Heng why. Kuang Heng said: "I don't want to be paid, I just hope that you can lend me all the books at home, and I am very satisfied." Deeply moved by his studious spirit, the rich man agreed to his request.

When the Han emperor recommended it, Zhang Heng was appointed as a doctor by the imperial court, and was later promoted to be a doctor. At this time, there was a solar eclipse and an earthquake. The emperor of the Han Dynasty was so frightened that he even went to the hospital with a sign of disaster. Enumerating historical facts shows that the astronomical phenomena are nothing more than great changes of Yin and Yang, and the fortunes and blessings all lie in people's actions, the ethos of human society, and more importantly, the enlightenment and influence of the imperial court. Therefore, the emperor should cut down the expenses of the court, get close to loyal ministers and upright people, alienate disloyal ministers and villains, select talented people, and open up the way to accept advice, and so on. Emperor Han and Yuan appreciated Kuang Heng's knowledge. He was promoted to Doctor Guanglu and Prince Shaofu. Pang Aifu, Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, and her son, Queen Ding Chao, passed by the prince. Kuang Heng earnestly exhorted this, and deeply analyzed the principle of "governing the country with the family" in order to prevent the national disaster.

He was promoted to GuangLuQuan, an ancient scholar, and later was promoted. The eunuch secretariat ordered the sages to monopolize power, excluding and framing the sages. Kuang Heng was afraid of him, too, and dared not criticize him. After the death of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, and Kuang Heng joined forces with Zhen Fu, the imperial historian, to impeach Shi Xian and expose the evils of him and his followers. Shi Xian and his minions were duly punished. However, some people in the DPRK believe that Kuang Heng, as the minister of auxiliary government, was obedient in his early years, although he did not participate in the performance in time. Later, he was finally dismissed for occupying more fiefs. According to Kuang Heng's story, later generations summed up an idiom, "Digging the poacher to steal the column", which describes being diligent and eager to learn.

He was dubbed "Wen", so people later called him "Kong Wenzi". Confucius had a student named Zi Gong, who was also a patriotic man. He thinks that Kong Cong doesn't call him "Kong Wenzi" as people say, which seems a bit worrying. He thought and thought, but if he didn't understand, he asked Confucius. Zi Gong said, "Zi Gong said. Confucius replied: "Confucius is smart and eager to learn, and dares to humbly ask people who are inferior to himself in status and knowledge, without being ashamed." This is great and should be given the title of' Wen'. " After listening to Confucius' words, Zi Gong suddenly realized that he was completely convinced.

The guide shook his head and said, "The spring is beyond the valley, and it's a long detour." Cao Cao thought for a moment and said, "No, it's too late." He looked at the forest in front of him, thought for a while, and said to the guide, "Don't say anything, I'll think of something." He knew that even if he ordered the troops to speed up at this time, it would not help. As soon as he turned his mind, the road came, and he just left.

This greatly stimulated him. So, he made up his mind to study hard. He often studies late into the night, is very tired, often takes a nap and wants to sleep. He also thought of a way to prepare an awl. Once he dozed off, he stabbed himself in the thigh with the awl. In this way, he suddenly felt pain and woke up. Keep reading. This made the story of Su Qin's "stabbing stocks". When he stole all the Western Han Dynasty, there was a great scholar named Kuang Heng. He loved reading when he was a child, but his family was poor and he couldn't afford candles. At night, he can't read, and he often worries about it. That night, Kuang Heng was surprised to find that there seemed to be some lights on his own wall. When he got up, he saw that it was a crack in the wall, and the candlelight of the neighbor's house penetrated through the crack. I thought of a way at once. He found a chisel and made a small hole in the crack in the wall. Immediately, a beam of candlelight shot up, and Kuang Heng read the book carefully under the candlelight. From then on, every night, Kuang Heng leaned against the wall and read by the neighbor's candlelight. Kuang Heng later became a learned scholar because he was diligent and eager to learn.

Sun Kang is very poor and often studies with snow. " In the Jin Dynasty, Che Yin studied hard at an early age. There is no extra money to buy him lamp oil for evening study. Therefore, he can only use this time to recite poems. "One night in summer, he was reciting an article in the yard when he suddenly saw many fireflies flying at low altitude. The flash is a bit dazzling in the dark. He thought, if many fireflies were gathered together, wouldn't it become a lamp? So he went to find a white silk bag and immediately caught dozens of fireflies. Then tie the mouth of the bag and hang it. Although it is not very bright, it can be used for reading. From then on, as long as there are fireflies, he will catch one as a lamp. Thanks to his efforts, he finally became an official with a high position. " The same is true of Sun Kang in the same dynasty. Because there is no money to buy lamp oil, I can't read at night, so I can only go to bed early. He felt it was a pity to let time pass in vain. "When he turned his head to the window, he found a ray of light in the gap of the window. It turned out that it was reflected by heavy snow, so he could read with it. So tired and frustrated, he immediately put on his clothes, took out his book and went outside. Snow light reflected on the vast land is much brighter than 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. He studies tirelessly. This spirit of hard study promoted his knowledge to advance by leaps and bounds and became a well-read person. Later, he also became a senior official. Liu Qi burned books. Liu Qi, a native of Pengcheng, Liang Dynasty, said, "I am poor and candles are difficult. I often buy it and burn it as a lamp "and study hard.
