Zhang Yao worships his wife as a teacher.

During the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, a military attache named Zhang Yao was promoted to Henan Ambassador because of his hard work and outstanding exploits. He was out of school and uneducated since childhood, and was often discriminated against by courtiers. Liu Yunan, an imperial envoy, said he was "illiterate" and appointed him as the company commander. From then on, Zhang Yao decided to study hard to make himself literate and military. Zhang Yao thought his wife was very cultured, so he went home and asked her to teach him. The wife said: teaching is ok, but there is one condition, that is, learning from teachers. Zhang Yao readily promised, immediately put on royal robes, and let his wife sit in front of Confucius memorial tablet, making three obeisances and nine knocks. Since then, his wife has taught him to read the history of the Bible in her spare time. Whenever his wife puts on a teacher's airs, he bends down to listen to the training and dares not be rude. At the same time, he also had an "illiterate" seal engraved, which he often wore to protect himself. A few years later, Zhang Yao finally became a very learned man.

Zhang Yao took office in Shandong, repaired river banks, built roads, set up factories and bureaus, and made fine works, and did many things that benefited the country and the people. Because he is diligent and studious, Emperor posthumous title called him "diligent fruit".

A hole was drilled in the wall to get light from the neighbor's house.

In the Western Han Dynasty, there was a farmer's child named Kuang Heng. He wanted to study very much when he was a child, but because his family was poor, he couldn't afford to go to school. Later, he learned to read from a relative before he could read.

Kuang Heng can't afford books, so he has to borrow books to read. At that time, books were so valuable that people who had books refused to lend them to others easily. During the busy farming season, Kuang Heng worked as a short-term worker for wealthy families and asked them to lend him books for free.

A few years later, Kuang Heng grew up and became the main labor force in the family. He works in the field all day, and only has time to read a little book during his lunch break, so it often takes ten days and a half months to finish reading a book. Kuang Heng was in a hurry, thinking: planting crops during the day, no time to read, you can spend more time reading at night. But Kuang Heng's family is too poor to buy oil for lighting. What should we do?

One night, Kuang Heng was lying in bed reciting the books he had read during the day. Behind me, I suddenly saw a light coming through the east wall. He stood up and went to the wall to have a look. Ah! It turned out that the neighbor's light came through the cracks in the wall. So Kuang Heng thought of a way: he picked up a knife and dug several cracks in the wall. In this way, the light coming through is also very big, so he gathered the light coming through and began to read.

Kuang Heng studied so hard that he became a learned man.
