In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a man named Sun Jing, a famous politician. When he was young, he was eager to learn. He often closed the door and kept reading alone. Reading from morning till night every day, often forgetting to eat and sleep. After studying for a long time, I am tired, but I still don't rest. After a long time, I was too tired to doze off.

When his head is lowered, the rope will hold his hair and hurt his scalp, wake up immediately and continue to study.

When I was young, because of the lack of knowledge, I went to many places to do things and was not taken seriously. After returning home, his family was also very cold and looked down on him. This is a great stimulus to 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 figured out a way to prepare an awl. Once he dozed off, he stabbed himself in the thigh with the awl. In this way, I suddenly felt pain, woke up by myself, and then insisted on reading. This made the story of Su Qin's "thorn".

Note: This idiom comes from the story of Sun Jing and Su Qin studying, and is used to describe the spirit of studying hard and studying hard. Their spirit of studying hard is good, but their methods of studying hard need not be imitated.

After joining the army, although he fought bravely and made outstanding achievements, he was unable to write a summary of the experience of war cases because of his lack of cultural literacy.

One day, Sun Quan, the Lord of Wu, said to him, "Now that you are a general, you should study hard and increase your talents."

When Monroe heard that the master wanted him to study, it was difficult for him to explain, "There are so many complicated things in the army that I have to ask them myself. I'm afraid I can't find time to study! " "

Sun Quan said, "You don't have as many things as I do, do you? I don't want you to learn knowledge, I just want you to look through some ancient books and get some inspiration from them. "

Lv Meng asked, "But I don't know which book to read?"

Hearing this, Sun Quan said with a smile, "You can read some books on the art of war, such as Sun Tzu and Liu Tao, and some historical books, such as Zuo Zhuan and Historical Records. These books are very good for leading troops to fight in the future. "

After a pause, Sun Quan added, "You have to squeeze out the time yourself. Once upon a time, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty refused to put down a book in his hand at the critical moment of marching! You young people should encourage yourself to read more books. "

After listening to Sun Quan's words, Lv Meng went back to study and persisted.
