See "Thai Yu Pinglan" volume 363 cited "Han Shu". "Taiping Yu Lan" contains: "Sun Nai is a treasure of literature, eager to learn, and never stops in the morning and evening. When you are tired of sleeping, tie your head with a rope and hang the housing beam. Later, it was a great scholar. " Sun Jing went to Luoyang Imperial College to study. He studies from morning till night every day and often forgets to eat and sleep. After a long time, he would be too tired to doze off, so he found a rope, one end of which was tied to the beam and the other end was tied to his hair. When he dozes off while reading, the rope will pull his hair and hurt his scalp, so that people will naturally not doze off and can continue to study. Since then, he has used this method every night when studying. This is the story of Sun Jing's Hanging Beam. After studying hard year after year, Sun Jing read many poems and became a great scholar.
Second, the thorn stock
See National Policy Qin Ce I: (Su Qin) When he wants to sleep while studying, he will stab himself with blood until he is full. "Su Qin, the word, was a famous strategist during the Warring States Period. Luoyang (Taiping Village, Li Lou Township) was from Nathan Scott Lee in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. When he was young, he was ambitious and studied with Guiguzi for many years. In order to gain fame, he sold his family property, bought gorgeous clothes, and went to the State of Qin to lobby King Hui of Qin, hoping to gradually unify China with the skill of Lian Heng, which was not adopted.
Because I stayed in Qin for too long, I was exhausted and had to go home in rags. Relatives were cold to him when they saw that he was helpless. Su Qin was ashamed and determined to study hard, so he took out the book Yin Fu given to him by his master and studied hard day and night. He prepared an awl when he was reading. When he dozed off, he stabbed himself in the thigh with an awl, forcing himself to wake up and concentrate on reading. After doing this for a year, he traveled around the world again. This time, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao and Wei were finally persuaded to "unite vertically" against Qin, and kept the seal of the six countries. Su Qin signed a treaty with six countries to jointly fight against Qin, and issued a treaty to the State of Qin, which made the King of Qin 15 years afraid to peep at Hangu Pass.
Third, cut the wall and steal the light
Kuang Heng studied hard without a candle. His neighbor had a candle but didn't catch it. Balance is to send its light through the wall and read it with a book that reflects the light. City people can't read their surnames. They have money at home and many books. Therefore, Heng is cooperating with him, not claiming compensation. The master asked Heng strangely, and Heng said, "May the master read all the books." The host sighed, gave books and became a university. (Selected from Xin's Miscellanies of Xijing, Volume II)
Fourth, fireflies reflect snow.
Che Yin, a native of Nanping (now Hubei Public Security Bureau) in the Jin Dynasty, had his grandfather Che Jun, who was the magistrate of the Three Kingdoms. Because of the famine, he asked for relief to the people and was executed by Sun Hao, the fatuous Lord of Wu. From then on, Che Yin's family was penniless.
Determined to study hard, Taishou Wang once said to his father Che Yu, "This son should be a great scholar, so that he can become an expert." . Poor at home, I can't even light a lamp when reading at night, so I caught a few fireflies and put them in a bag sewn with gauze, and studied hard with the faint light from fireflies.
Under the guidance of his father, Che Yin finally became a very learned man, having been the magistrate of Xing Wu, the general of the auxiliary country and the official of the Ministry of Commerce all his life. In the Tang Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Tang Dynasty and Tang Dynasty all wrote inscriptions on fluorescent photos, and they all talked about it.
Sun Kang was born in Jingzhao (now Luoyang, Henan Province) of Jin Dynasty, the great-grandson of Sun Sheng, the minister of Jin Dynasty, and the great-grandson of Sun Fang, the magistrate of Changsha. Sun Kang liked reading when he was young, and often felt that time was not enough. He wanted to study day and night, but at this time his family collapsed and he had no money to buy oil and light a lamp. You can't study when it's dark. Especially in winter, when the nights are long, he sometimes toss and turn for a long time, making it difficult to sleep. There is really no choice but to read more books during the day and recite silently in bed at night.
One night, when he woke up, he suddenly found some white light coming in from the window. When he opened the door, he saw a heavy snow, and the earth was shining, which dazzled him. Sun Kang's heart moved, reflecting the snow light. Can you read? He hurried back to the house, took out his book and looked at the reflection of snow. Sure enough, the handwriting is clear, much brighter than the dim oil lamp!
Throughout the winter, Sun Kang worked hard day and night, never stopping. Sun Kang worked hard and made great academic achievements, and eventually became a very prestigious scholar in the Jin Dynasty. During the Jingping period of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zuo Cheng was named Shang Shu and Hou Deyang.
