1, poaching and stealing light
Stealing the light is an idiom in China, which comes from the story that Kuang Heng, a great writer in the Western Han Dynasty, dug a hole to attract his neighbors to study by candlelight when he was young, and eventually became a generation of writers. Now it is used to describe people who are poor and study hard.
Allusion: 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 large family in the county, which is not very literate, 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. Study hard and practice hard
Study hard and train well.
Example: Qin Mu's Secrets: "After listening to it, my son never dares to take shortcuts by luck again. After real efforts, he finally became a calligrapher. "
3. The suspended beam is biting to the bone
Stabbed to death by hanging beam, pronounced as Xu Anliang gǔ g ǔ. It is a metaphor for studying hard at night.
Allusion: 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 his study, Sun Jing thought of a way. He found a rope, one end tied to his hair and the other end tied to the beam of the house.
In this way, when he dozes off because of reading fatigue, as long as he lowers his head and the rope pulls his hair and hurts his scalp, he will wake up from the pain and continue reading. Later, he finally became a famous politician.
4. Sun Kangying Xue
Use the reflection of snow to read. Describe studying hard.
Allusion: Sun Kang's family is very poor and can't 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.
Fireflies reflect snow
Yeast: Che Yin in Jin Dynasty was very poor when he was a child, and he learned by practicing playing fireflies in summer. Snow reflection: Sun Kang in Jin Dynasty often used the reflection of snow to read books in winter. Describe studying hard.
Allusion: During the Jin Dynasty, Che Yin was always eager to learn, but his father could not provide him with a good learning environment because of his poor family. 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.
