Sima Guang was smart and studious when he was a child. He is often worried that his knowledge is not as good as others, so no matter what he learns, he has to work twice as hard as others. He read with some children, and the other children could barely recite it after reading for a while, so they went out to play together.

Only Sima Guang is still sitting in the study, studying hard. And every time at this time, Sima Guang shut himself in his study and didn't go out to play until he knew the book by heart. After growing up, Sima Guang still insisted on this diligent practice.

I once made a pillow out of wood and named it "police pillow". Because the pillow is round, people will fall to the ground as soon as they turn over, and a bang will naturally wake people up. So every time Sima Guang heard something in the middle of the night, he immediately got up and lit a candle to read a book. Thanks to his efforts, Sima Guang finally became a famous scholar.

Song Lian braved the heavy snow to visit the teacher.

Song Lian, a famous essayist and scholar in Ming Dynasty, was fond of learning since childhood. He was not only knowledgeable, but also wrote excellent articles, and was praised by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, as the "head of the founding civil servants". Song Lian loves reading very much, and those who don't understand always get to the bottom of it.

This time, in order to find out a problem, Song Lian walked dozens of miles in the snow to consult Ji Meng, a teacher who had stopped accepting students, but the teacher was not at home. Undaunted, Song Lian visited the teacher again a few days later, but the teacher didn't see him.

Because of the cold weather, Song Lian and her companions were freezing, and Song Lian's toes were frostbitten. Song Lian was rescued when he fell into a snow pit during his third solo visit. When Song Lian nearly fainted in front of the teacher's house.

The teacher was moved by his sincerity and patiently answered Song Lian's questions. Later, in order to gain more knowledge, Song Lian visited many teachers and became a famous essayist.

3. Che Yin Sachura studied hard.

In the Jin Dynasty, Che Yin was always eager to study, but because of his poor family, his father could not provide him with a good learning environment. In order to maintain food and clothing, there is no extra money to buy him lamp oil for evening study. To this end, he can only use this time to recite poems.

One night in summer, he was reciting an article in the yard when he suddenly saw many fireflies flying at low altitude. The flashing light is a bit dazzling in the dark.

He thought that if many fireflies were put together, they would become a lamp. So, he went to find a white silk bag, immediately caught dozens of fireflies and put them in, then tied the mouth of the bag and hung it up.

It's not very bright, but it can be used for reading. From then on, as long as there are fireflies, he will catch one to use as a lamp. Because he studied hard and practiced hard, he finally became an official in a high position.

4. Wang Mian Niu listens to books.

Wang Mian was born in a poor peasant family. When he was a child, he couldn't afford to go to school. When he was seven or eight years old, he herded cattle for others. He is envious of the children who go to school. He often looks at the school and gets lost in it, so he secretly runs outside the school and listens to the students. After a long time, he remembered a lot of content and gradually accumulated more knowledge.

Wang Mian is always fascinated by his studies. Sometimes he forgets to take the cow home, and sometimes his crops are trampled by the cow carelessly. Because of this, he is often beaten by his father. However, he still insisted on listening to the students. Later, in order to study, he moved to a temple to live. He often reads all night by moonlight or dim ever-burning lamps at night. Later, he finally became a man who made a difference.

5, overhead hanging beam awl spikes

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. Afraid of affecting his study, he came up with a special method.

In ancient times, men had long hair. He found a rope and tied it firmly to the beam. When he is tired of reading, he dozes off. When his head is lowered, the rope will hold his hair and hurt his scalp, wake up immediately and continue to study.

During the Warring States Period, there was a man named Su Qin, who was also a famous politician. 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. Su Qin's thorn stocks and Sun Jing's hanging beam are collectively called hanging beam thorn stocks, which is a metaphor for studying hard.
