Poetry that tells us to practice our true knowledge.

On the paper, I got a winter night reading for my son.

(Song) Lu You

The ancients learned nothing, and it takes time to grow old.

What you get on paper is so shallow that you never know what you have to do.

This poem means that the ancients spared no effort in learning. Fight for it all your life, often when you are young, you will succeed when you are old. The knowledge gained from books is superficial after all, and it is impossible to understand the true meaning of knowledge. To truly understand the profound truth in books, you must practice it yourself.

Appreciation: This is a godson poem. Yuzi, the poet's youngest son, wants to tell his son the truth of learning. The first sentence is a compliment to the hard-working spirit of the ancients. "Heritage" means to keep. "Not working hard" means doing your best without reservation. The second sentence is about the difficulty of learning. Only by starting from teenagers, forming good habits and laying a good foundation, and after decades of hard work, can we finally achieve something. Otherwise, it can only be "young people don't work hard, and the boss is sad." This is to warn my son with the spirit of hard work and the arduousness of learning: learning must have the spirit of perseverance and perseverance. In the last two sentences, the poet further pointed out the importance of practical experience. "From paper" refers to book knowledge. "Never know about it" is to really catch the inside story. "Practice" means personal practice. It is important to study persistently, but it is not enough, because it is only book knowledge and a summary of previous practical experience, and whether it conforms to the situation here and now remains to be tested by practice. A person who has both book knowledge and practical experience is truly learned.

This poem wins by thought and philosophy, and lets us learn from rational speculation.
