What are the stories of diligent study in ancient times?

The story is as follows:

1. Su Qin, who hangs his head and stabs his buttocks:

During the Warring States Period, there was a man named Su Qin, also named Ji Zi, who was a famous politician at that time. When he was young, he and Zhang Yi studied the art of war under Gui Guzi. After completing his studies, he went to various countries to lobby, but he always got nothing. He made up his mind and studied hard. From then on, he stayed behind closed doors and immersed himself in studying, often studying until late at night. Sometimes he was so tired that he dozed off and wanted to sleep.

He prepared an awl, and as soon as he dozed off, he used the awl to prick his thigh. In this way, I suddenly felt pain, so I woke up and continued reading. After several years of hard study, I mastered a wealth of knowledge, went to lobby again, and finally became a high-profile political strategist.

2. Kuang Heng, who cut through walls to steal light

During the Western Han Dynasty, there was a great scholar in Donghai County named Kuang Heng. He read a lot of books and was very knowledgeable. But his success is not because he is a genius, but because of his persistence and diligence. A small hole was dug in the wall. When the neighbor's house was lighting the lamp, the candlelight came through the small hole. He used the light that came through to read a book. Therefore, Kuang Heng cherishes the rare opportunity to study.

3. Che Yin with a firefly reflecting the snow

Che Yin, whose courtesy name was Wuzi, was from Nanping, Jin Dynasty (today's Anxiang and Jinshi area). Che Yin has been eager to learn since he was a child, but because his family is poor, he has no money to buy lamp oil to study at night. I caught dozens of fireflies and put them inside, and when I put them in the house, it turned out to be a lot brighter. Che Yin studied hard in this way, and finally became a very learned man. He served as the governor of Wuxing, the general of the auxiliary state, and the minister of the Ministry of household affairs.

4. Confucius, whose surname was Kong, given name Qiu, and given name Zhongni, was a famous thinker, educator, and politician in the Spring and Autumn Period of my country, and the founder of Confucianism in my country. The reason why he was able to become a saint with three thousand disciples and become famous all over the world is inseparable from his hard work and diligence as a child. As the saying goes, "genius comes from hard work."

Confucius’ mother taught him how to read and write when he was just three years old. By the time he was four years old, he could read more than a hundred characters. One day, his mother said: "Can you memorize the words I taught you yesterday?" Confucius said: "I have remembered them all." Let me test you." Confucius was sleeping with his brother. That night, after he got into bed, he said to his brother: "Brother, have you remembered all the words your mother taught you?" The elder brother said, "I have remembered them all. What about you?"

Kong Qiu said: "I have practiced it many times, and maybe I have memorized it, but I am not sure. My mother will take the test tomorrow morning. If I can't do it, my mother will be very sad and sad. No, I must get up and try again Practice a few times."?

My brother was moved by his spirit of studying hard and being filial to his mother, and said distressedly: "It's cold, don't get up and practice, just write on my belly. "I can tell what's right and wrong, so I can check what you wrote!"?

So, Xiao Kongqiu started writing on his brother's chest. Every time you write a word, read it out loud. But the voice became softer and softer, and when he finished writing the last word, the voice could no longer be heard. After checking his last word, my brother listened to his even breathing, looked at his sweet and smiling sleeping face, and smiled with both heartache and affection.

Early the next morning, during his mother's assessment, he passed the exam. The mother was pleasantly surprised and said: "This child is really amazing. I taught him so many words the day before yesterday, and after only one day, he is so familiar with it. He will definitely be able to do great things in the future!"

Confucius looked at his mother's delighted face and said, smiled happily. However, this smile was accompanied by two lines of tears.

The elder brother standing next to him understood him deeply and knew that behind his superhuman talent was his younger brother's perseverance and hard work.

5. Hou Baolin, the master of cross talk language, only went to elementary school for three years. Because of his diligence and studious, his artistic level reached the level of proficiency and he became a famous language expert. Once, in order to buy a Ming Dynasty joke book "Jian Lang" that he wanted to buy, he visited all the used bookstalls in Beijing but failed.

Later, he learned that the Beijing Library had this book and decided to copy it back. It was winter, and he braved the strong wind and heavy snow and ran to the library for eighteen days to copy books. Finally, he copied a book with more than 100,000 words.
