Do not be ashamed to ask

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius was honored as a "sage". Confucius was a learned man, but he was still humble enough to ask others for advice. Once, he went to the temple to worship his ancestors, and once he entered the temple, he felt strange and asked others about this and that. Some people laughed and said, "Confucius was a learned man, why do you still ask?" Confucius heard this and said, "What is wrong with asking about everything?" His disciples asked him, "Why was he called Kong Wenzi after Kong Mang died?" Confucius said, "Being smart and studious, he was not ashamed to ask questions, so he was called 'Wen'."

So, being modest and studious, and not being ashamed to ask for advice from those who are less learned or of lower status than oneself, one can make better progress.

Negative salary hanging horns

In the Sui Dynasty, there was a man named Li Mi, who as a child herded cows for others. Every day he went out with a few books hanging on the horns of the cows, and while the cows were grazing, he sat on the grass and read by heart.

Cheng Men Li Xue

This idiom tells the story of Yang Shi of the Song Dynasty, who studied hard: Yang Shi got a bachelor's degree, but instead of becoming an official, he went to Yingchang in Henan Province to study with Cheng Hao as his teacher. After Cheng Hao's death, Yang Shi studied with Cheng Yi, Cheng Hao's younger brother, in Luoyang. At that time, he was already forty years old.

One day, when Yang Shi went to see Cheng Yi, he was sleeping, and Yang Shi and his friend, You Yu, stood at the door respectfully so as not to disturb his teacher's rest.

Outside the snow, cold wind, until Cheng Yi woke up, the snow outside the door has accumulated more than one foot thick.

The ancient attitude towards learning is still so sincere, today people need to grasp the good learning opportunities in front of them.

The hand that does not release the book

Three days, not Wu Xia A Meng

Three Kingdoms era, the Eastern Wu had a general named Lu Meng. When he was young, his family was poor and he was unable to study. After the army, although the battle brave, often won the war, but suffering from a lack of culture, can not put the battle experience summarized written down.

One day, Sun Quan, the lord of Wu, said to Lv Meng: "You are now a general, in charge of the management, you should read some books to increase your talent." Lu Meng heard that his lord wanted him to study, he was difficult to push back, saying, "The army is full of things and miscellaneous, I have to personally ask, I'm afraid I can't squeeze out the time to read ah!"

Sun Quan said, "You don't have as much to do as I do, do you? I do not want you to study the study, but just want you to look through some ancient books, from which you get some inspiration."

Lu Meng listened to Sun Quan's words, went back and started to read and study, and persevered, and finally became cultured, and later Sun Quan saw him again and praised him, "Three days after Shi Farewell, it is not the case that he is no longer under Wu Xia A Meng!"

Warming up to the cock

Zu Ti and Liu Kun are both famous generals in the Jin Dynasty, and both of them are like-minded and want to contribute to the country and make a career. They worked together in the government office during the day, and slept under the same blanket at night. At that time, the imperial family of Western Jin Dynasty was fighting with each other for power and profit, and the leaders of various ethnic minorities took advantage of the opportunity to rise up and rebel, which posed a serious threat to the security of the country. Zu Ti and Liu Kun were both very anxious about this.

One day in the middle of the night, Zu Ti was woken up by the sound of chickens crowing in the distance, and then kicked Liu Kun awake and said: "Do you hear the sound of chickens crowing?" Liu Kun listened carefully for a while and said, "Yes, it's a chicken crowing. But a chicken crowing in the middle of the night is an evil sound!" Zu Ti got up while objecting, "This is not an evil sound, but a crowing sound that urges us to get up quickly and exercise." Liu Kun heard this and followed suit, dressing and getting up. The two of them went to the courtyard and drew their swords and danced against each other until the first light of dawn. Later, both of them became the pillars of the country.

Hanging the beam and stabbing the stock

During the Jin Dynasty, there was a young man named Sun Jing, who was a tireless and diligent student. However, when he was reading in the middle of the night, he would often doze off, and in order not to affect his studies, Sun Jing came up with a solution. He found a rope, one end tied to his hair, the other end tied to the beam. In this way, whenever he wanted to doze off, as long as his head is lowered, the rope pulls his hair and hurts his scalp, he will wake up and continue to read. Later, Sun Jing finally became a famous politician.

During the Warring States period, Su Qin was also a famous politician, but he didn't learn much when he was young. He traveled all over the world, but he could not get attention, even if he had ambition, he could not be reused, so he made up his mind to study hard. Whenever he was tired of reading late into the night and wanted to take a nap, he stabbed himself in the thigh with a pre-prepared awl. In this way, the sudden pain made him suddenly awake, revitalize his spirit and continue to read.

Painting the ground with reeds

Mr. Ouyang Xiu's father died when he was four years old, and his family was so poor that they had no money to pay for his studies. Mrs. Ouyang Xiu taught him to write by writing and drawing on the sand with reed stalks, and she also taught him to recite many chapters of the ancients. When he got older, there were no books to read at home, so he borrowed books from a scholar's house nearby. With this kind of dedication to reading, Ouyang Xiu eventually became a famous scholar.

Chiseling walls to steal light

In the Western Han Dynasty, there was a farmer's child named Kuang Heng. Kuang Heng's family was poor and could not afford to buy books, so they had to borrow books to read. Kuang Heng worked as a short-term laborer for rich people during the busy farming season, not paying for his work, but only asking them to lend him books to read. He worked in the field all day long and only had time to read a little when he rested in the middle of the day, so it often took ten days and half a month to finish reading a volume of books. He wanted to read at night, but his family was so poor that they could not afford the oil to light the lamp.

One night, Kuang Heng was lying in bed, memorizing the books he had read during the day. He was a very good man, and he was a very good man. As he was memorizing, he suddenly saw a ray of light coming from the east wall. So, Kuang Heng thought of a way, he dug the gap in the wall a little bigger, so that the light coming through also more, he borrowed the light coming through, read the book. This is how Kuangheng studied hard, and later became a very learned man.

The Bag of Fireflies Reflecting Snow

During the Jin Dynasty, Che Yin was a good learner from a young age, but due to his family's poverty, his father was unable to provide him with a good environment for learning. In order to maintain food and clothing, there was no extra money to buy lamp oil for him to study at night. One night in the summer, he was memorizing an article in the courtyard when he suddenly saw many fireflies flying in the low sky. The flickering points of light looked a little dazzling in the darkness. He thought to himself, if many fireflies were gathered together, wouldn't they become a light? So he went to find a pocket, grabbed many fireflies and put them in it, then tied the mouth of the pocket and hung it up. Although not very bright, but can barely be used to read books. As he studied hard, he later finally became an official in a very high position.

In the Jin Dynasty, Sun Kang couldn't read at night because he didn't have money to buy lamp oil, so he could only go to bed early. One day in the middle of the night, he woke up from sleep, and when he turned his head sideways to the window, he found that it was very bright outside, which was reflected by the snow. So he lost his tiredness, immediately put on his clothes, took out his books, and went outside the house. The light of the snow reflected on the broad ground was much brighter than that of the house. Thereafter, every snowy night, he would read in the snow. This spirit of painstaking study prompted him to make rapid progress in his learning, and he eventually became famous.

Soul Soul, Gold Stone

During the Western Han Dynasty, there was a famous general Li Guang. He was so good at horseback riding and archery, and so brave in battle, that he was called the "Flying General". Once, he went to the southern foot of Mount Heshan to hunt, and suddenly found a tiger crouching in the bushes. Li Guang hurriedly bent his bow and slung an arrow, and with all his concentration and strength, he shot an arrow. Li Guang's archery skill was very good, he thought the tiger must have been killed by the arrow, so he approached the front, and took a closer look, but unexpectedly, what was shot was actually a big stone shaped like a tiger. Not only did the arrow go deep into the stone, but also the end of the arrow went almost all the way into the stone. Li Guang was so surprised that he didn't believe he could be so strong, so he wanted to try again. He took a few steps back and opened his bow, but several arrows in a row did not go in. Some of the arrows shattered, some of the shafts broke, and the boulder was not damaged at all.

People were puzzled by this incident, so they went to consult the scholar Yang Xiong. Yang Xiong replied, "If one is sincere, even something as hard as gold and stone will be touched."
