Classic ancient inspirational story 1 Li Shizhen was born in the 13th year of Zhengde in Ming Dynasty (15 18). His father Li Yanwen is a doctor. His medical skills are well-known in qi zhou, Hubei and nearby counties. He used to be a medical officer. However, in the old society, no matter how skilled a doctor was, his social status was always low. Therefore, Li Yanwen always hoped that his son would pass the official imperial examination at that time and gain fame and honor. In his plan, the eldest son Li Simiao inherited his own medical career; And let Li Shizhen, who is smarter, take the imperial examination and accomplish the goal he never accomplished.

Li Shizhen, the content of Compendium of Materia Medica, was often ill when he was a child, but he was naturally active and loved reading. He was especially interested in all kinds of legends and treasures told by adults, as well as medical books and illustrated medicine books collected by his father. He also likes to go to the fields to pick flowers and catch butterflies and enjoy the magical nature. In his mind, being a doctor as skilled as his father is far more interesting than being an official in the exam. However, under the circumstances that his father's life was hard to disobey, Li Shizhen began to take the imperial examination again and again, and passed the scholar's examination at the age of fourteen, but after having obtained the provincial examination, it was always unsatisfactory.

In the 19th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, Li Shizhen was 22 years old and came to Wuchang for the third time to take the provincial examination. This time is worse than the previous two. Not long ago, he just suffered from "bone steaming", which was caused by a cold and a long cough. Hot skin, excessive phlegm, general weakness, similar to pneumonia. Li Shizhen, who recovered from a serious illness, not only failed to pass the provincial examination, but also almost fell ill again. This experience was painful for Li Shizhen. After returning to his hometown, he made the first major decision in his life, giving up the road to fame in the imperial examination and going his own way.

This transformation led to the birth of Compendium of Materia Medica, which changed the development of the whole medicine and influenced it to this day. 155 1 year, Li Shizhen became famous for curing the illness of the son of Zhu, the king of Fushun, and was hired as a "gift" by the king of Chu in Wuchang to take charge of the affairs of the doctor's office. 1556, Li Shizhen was recommended to work in Tai Hospital and was awarded the post of "Judge of Tai Hospital".

During this period, he had the opportunity to appreciate the rich classics collected by the palace and the royal family, and extracted a large number of medical materials. And I saw a lot of drug specimens that are difficult to see at ordinary times, which greatly broadened my horizons and enriched my knowledge. But because he was weaker than fame and fortune, he worked in the hospital for less than a year, and then he resigned and went home to concentrate on telling stories.

Before and after working in Taiyuan Hospital of Li Shizhen, Li Shizhen began to write Compendium of Materia Medica after a long period of preparation. In the process of compiling, he wore sandals and carried a medicine basket, took his students and son Jianyuan over mountains and mountains, sought medical advice, and traveled all over Henan, Hebei, Jiangsu, Anhui, Jiangxi, Hubei and other vast areas, as well as Niushou Mountain, Sheshan Mountain, Maoshan Mountain, Taihe Mountain and other famous mountains and rivers. He traveled thousands of miles, listened to thousands of people's opinions and read more than 800 books.

Compendium of Materia Medica has about 2 million words, 52 volumes, 1892 drugs, 374 new drugs, 10000 prescriptions and 1000 pictures, which has become an unprecedented work in pharmacology in China. Among them, many mistakes have been corrected, and outstanding achievements have been made in many aspects such as animal and plant taxonomy, and contributions have also been made to other related disciplines (biology, chemistry, mineralogy, geology, astronomy, etc.). Darwin praised it as "an encyclopedia of ancient China".

1596, the third year after Li Shizhen's death, Compendium of Materia Medica was officially published in Jinling (now Nanjing), which immediately swept the country, and doctors regarded it as a treasure and rushed to buy it. It soon spread all over the world.

Classic ancient inspirational story 2 Sima Qian obeyed his father's last wish and determined to write a history book that can "hide famous mountains and pass them on to future generations". In the seventh year when he started writing this history book, the case of Li Ling happened. Li Ling, the general of the Second Normal University, was defeated and surrendered because he was outnumbered in a war with Xiongnu. Sima Qian defended Li Ling, angered Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was arrested and imprisoned, and suffered cruel "corruption".

After being punished, I tried to commit suicide because of humiliation and pain, but I can think that my ideal of writing history books has not been completed. So he swallowed his pride and stood up and resisted for 18 years, and was finally written as Historical Records. This masterpiece has 526500 words. Creating a general history of China's biography, with rich and informative historical materials, has always been respected by people. Lu Xun once spoke highly of Historical Records in a very general language: "Historians never sing, and there is no rhyme." It turns out that Sima Qian's ancestors served as historians for generations, and his father Sima Tan was also an official of the Han Dynasty. Sima Qian came to Chang 'an with his father when he was ten years old, and read many books since childhood.

In order to collect historical materials and broaden his horizons, Sima Qian has traveled all over the country since he was twenty years old. He has been to Huiji, Zhejiang, and has seen the legendary place where Dayu called tribal leaders to meet. I have been to Changsha to pay tribute to the patriotic poet Qu Yuan by the Miluo River. He has been to Qufu to inspect the place where Confucius gave lectures. He has been to the hometown of Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, and listened to the elders in Peixian County telling about Liu Bang's starting his troops ... This kind of travel and investigation has enabled Sima Qian to gain a lot of knowledge and draw rich nutrients from folk languages, laying an important foundation for Sima Qian's writing.

Later, Sima Qian became a retinue of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, followed the emperor around the world, and was also ordered to visit Bashu Kunming. After Sima Tan's death, Sima Qian inherited his father's footsteps and made an official order, so he read more and collected more historical materials. When I was preparing to write, I went to prison and was punished in order to defend Li Ling and offend Emperor Wu. He thought bitterly, this is my own fault.

At this moment, I have been punished and my body is ruined. It's useless However, he thought: Zhou Wenwang was once imprisoned and wrote the Book of Changes; Confucius was trapped in Cai Chen on his way around the world, and then he compiled Chunqiu. Qu Yuan was exiled and wrote Li Sao. Zuo Qiuming is blind and writes Mandarin. Sun Bin was gouged out of his kneecap and wrote the Art of War by Sun Tzu. There are also 300 poems in The Book of Songs, most of which were written by the ancients in a state of anxiety and anger. These famous books were written when the author was depressed or his ideal didn't work. Why don't I use this time to write this history well?

Therefore, he compiled this period of history from the legendary Huangdi era to the second year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (95 BC) into a 130, 520,000-word masterpiece Historical Records. Sima Qian described in detail the deeds of some famous people in ancient times in Historical Records. He spoke highly of Chen Sheng and Guangwu, the leaders of the peasant uprising. People often show sympathy for the oppressed lower classes. He also rewritten words that were too difficult in ancient literature into words that were relatively simple at that time. Character description and plot description are vivid in image and language. Therefore, Historical Records is not only a great historical work, but also an excellent literary work. Sima Qian worked miracles by relying on his own beliefs.

Zhuge Liang studied under Mr. Si Mahui, a water mirror, when he was a teenager. Zhuge Liang studied hard and used his head diligently. Not only Si Mahui appreciates him, but also Si Mahui's wife values him very much. She likes this studious and brainy boy. At that time, there were no clocks, and time was recorded by sundials. There is no sun on rainy days. Time is not easy to grasp. In order to record time, Si Mahui trained cock to crow on time by feeding regularly. In order to learn more, Zhuge Liang wanted Mr. Wang to extend the lecture time, but Mr. Wang always relied on the crow, so Zhuge Liang thought: if the crow time is extended, Mr. Wang's lecture time will be extended. So he brought some food in his pocket when he went to school. It is estimated that when the chicken is about to crow, he will feed it some food, and the chicken will not crow when it is full.

Classic ancient inspirational story 4 "Digging a Well by One Person"

During the Warring States Period, Lu Chunqiu of Lv Buwei

There was a family named Ding in Song State. There was no well at home, so they had to fetch water from the river. Therefore, someone at home must often go out to fetch water. When a well was dug at home, he told others, "If you dig a well at home, there will be one more person."

When someone heard about it, it spread: "Mrding's family dug a well and dug up a man." People in the Song Dynasty were spreading the story, and even the monarch heard about it later.

The monarch sent someone to ask the family what was going on. He explained, "what we mean is that after digging a well, the family saves manpower and has an extra labor force, not when digging a well."

Perception: Know how to distinguish the truth from the falsehood of information, and don't spread it wrongly. Information obtained through indirect channels may be unreliable.

The owl is moving.

The owl met the turtledove. Turtledove asked, "Where are you going?" The owl said, "I want to move to the east."

Turtledove asked again, "Why?" The owl said, "Westerners hate my cry, so I want to move away."

Turtledove said, "If you can change your voice, you can move away. Otherwise, move to the east, where people won't like you crying. "

Feeling: Don't choose an evasive attitude towards your own shortcomings and mistakes, but be brave enough to correct them.

Crazy spring

Shen Yue's Book of Songs in Southern Dynasties

Once upon a time, there was a country where there was a river called "mineral spring". People go crazy after drinking the water from the mineral spring.

Only the monarch drank well water and didn't go crazy. But because all China people are crazy, they think the monarch is an abnormal madman.

We discussed how to cure the monarch's madness, so we arrested him and gave him acupuncture and medicine. Everything is used.

The monarch was tortured to death, and he took the water from the crazy spring to drink. As a result, the monarch, like everyone else, is crazy. In this way, there will be no different people in the country, and all the people in the country will be very happy.

Feeling: be alert to the madness of the group. It is extremely difficult for a person with healthy mind and normal behavior to stay awake in an environment where everyone turns black and white.

Zhao people suffer from rats.

Liu Mingxi's Jade Ion

A family in Zhao Yi was infested with rats and went to Zhongshan to borrow a cat. Zhongshan people gave him one.

The cat is good at catching mice, but it also likes catching chickens.

A month later, the mice in his house were caught clean and the chickens were eaten up.

His son thought the cat was a disaster and said to his father, "Why not get rid of it?"

Father said, "Our trouble is that there are mice and no chickens at home. Rats steal food, chew clothes, drill walls and chew furniture, so we will starve and freeze, which is worse than not having chickens! Without chicken, we just don't eat chicken, which is far from hunger and cold! Why get rid of the cat? "

Sentiment: The ancients said: "The two evils are lighter, and the two benefits are heavier." It means that two interests are in front of you at the same time, of course, choose the one with greater interests; There are two kinds of injuries in front of us, of course, we choose the one with less harm. Simply put, it is to weigh the advantages and disadvantages, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

The fisherman rescued him ashore, but only gave him twelve taels of silver. The fisherman said, "You just said one hundred and twenty. Why only give twelve now? "

The merchant was furious: "How much can you earn by fishing a day?" I got twelve taels of silver at once. Aren't you satisfied? "The fisherman left in dismay.

A few days later, when the merchant was crossing the river, the boat hit a stone and sank again. At this moment, the fisherman appeared again. Someone asked, "Why don't you save people?"

The fisherman replied, "This is a man who doesn't keep his word." As a result, the businessman was drowned.

Feeling: Be honest, or you will end up hurting others and yourself.

Classic Ancient Inspirational Story 5 Between Wuxia Gorge and Xiling Gorge in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, there is a county called Zigui. This is the hometown of Qu Yuan, a great poet in the Warring States Period.

Qu Yuan was smart and eager to learn since he was a child, and he was deeply appreciated by teachers at school. But for a while, he often stayed at home after school. When his family asked him why, he always smiled mysteriously and said, "I won't tell anyone now." Don't worry, I won't do anything bad anyway. "

Qu Yuan's sister and daughter are still uneasy. On this day, she rushed to school before school. When Qu Yuan walked out of the school gate after reciting the evening book, he followed her quietly until he reached a cave on the hillside behind.

What a beautiful cave! Graceful stone pillars, stalagmites and stalactites are graceful in the illusory fog. Glittering water drops slowly drop by drop along the tip of stalactites, and the tinkling sound is like pearls falling on a silver plate.

Qu Yuan sat down on a bluestone beside the spring, took out a roll of bamboo slips and began to chant in a low voice.

The girl stood at the mouth of the cave and listened quietly. She seemed to follow her younger brother, and she came to the fisherman's silkworm girl by Dongting Lake for a while, and then to the woodcutter hunter on Jiuyi Mountain ... It was not until night fell and the cave was hazy that she gently shouted "Brother".

"who?" Qu Yuan was dazed. When he opened his eyes wide and saw that it was his dear sister standing at the mouth of the cave, he quickly greeted him with a smile: "Sister, I have read all the folk songs of Chu, so beautiful!

However, the teacher forbids us to read in school, so I have no choice but to ... "

"Then you have to tell your family." The girl only scolded 1 and took her brother's hand and walked out of the cave together.

The story of Qu Yuan studying in the cave soon spread. After his death, people in his hometown named this cave in Houshan "Reading Cave" in memory of him.

Classic Ancient Inspirational Story 6 During the Warring States Period, there was a man named Su Qin, who was also a famous politician.

Classic ancient inspirational story 7 Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun

Dou Taihou advocated the theory of "Huang Lao", deposed Dou Ying and Tian Yong who supported Confucianism, and appointed several foolish people as prime ministers, censors and practitioners. Emperor Wu didn't want to discuss with them. Staying in the palace is really boring. He often changes into casual clothes and goes out to play and hunt. Sometimes he runs far and doesn't come back for four or five days. Later, he felt that running too far was not only dangerous, but also really difficult, so he ordered Dr. Guanglu Wu Qiushou Wang Tuo to build a big garden in the forest. The young Emperor Wu spent most of his time in Shanglinyuan.

Yawen of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty liked Ci Fu, and famous literati such as Dongfang Shuo and Qiu Shouwang often accompanied him and were very happy.

One day, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty read Sima Xiangru's Zi Xufu, and was attracted by the beautiful words and majestic momentum. He couldn't help applauding. After reading Zi Xu's Fu in one breath, I thought that the author was a former dynasty, and repeatedly sighed and said, "The person who wrote this Fu is really a genius, but it's a pity that I didn't live in the same era as this person!"

At this time, Yang Deyi, the dog supervisor who waited on Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, said with a flattering smile, "Your Majesty, the person who wrote this poem knows that he is a fellow countryman and now lives in Chengdu."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was surprised and delighted, and asked, "Is what you said true?"

Yang Deyi replied: "Yes, Sima Xiangru once told me that he wrote" Nothing "."

"That's great! No one has ever told me about such a talented person. " Emperor Wu said with a little regret, so he immediately sent someone to call Sima Xiangru to Beijing.

Sima Xiangru, the word evergreen, was born in Chengdu, Shu County. He is good at reading, playing the piano and being free and easy. His articles are beautiful, especially good at writing fu. He and Wang Ji are good friends. Wang Ji once said to him, "You are studying abroad. If your career is not smooth and life is difficult, come to Lin Qiong to find me. " One day, Sima Xiangru really came to Ji Wang.

Two people came to the living room hand in hand, Sima Xiangru and Wang Ji talked about his whereabouts in recent years. When Wang Ji knew Xiang Ru was not married, he told him that Lin Qiong's richest man, Zhuo Wangsun, had a daughter named Zhuo Wenjun, who was extremely clever and beautiful, and now she was widowed. We are made for each other. Sima Xiangru listened and shook his head embarrassedly. Wang Ji doesn't think so. He thinks this is a human effort.

Knowing that Sima Xiangru was a famous scholar, Zhuo Wangsun treated him to a light meal, and sent more than 100 invitations by the way, inviting many county officials and prestigious people.

At the beginning of the banquet, Zhuo Wangsun led all the guests to propose a toast to Sima Xiangru and said many flattering words. While everyone was having a good time, Wang Ji introduced to everyone: "Mr. Xiang Ru is the first celebrity today. He not only writes well, but also plays well. " There is good wine to entertain guests today. Why don't you ask Mr. Xiangru to play a song? "Hearing this, the crowd cheered in unison.

Sima Xiangru declined and began to play, playing a short song first. Later, she overheard a vague white woman listening to the piano behind the bamboo curtain. Knowing that it was Zhuo Wenjun, she displayed her superb piano skills and played a song "Looking for Phoenix". Through the piano, she expressed her courtship to Zhuo Wenjun. It turned out that Zhuo Wenjun had long wanted to meet this great genius when he heard of Sima Xiangru's visit. She loves music and hides behind the curtain when she hears the piano. Zhuo Wenjun deeply understood the piano theory and realized the significance of piano sound. And the guests at the party, of course, don't recognize why, just compliment Sima Xiangru blindly and clap your hands blindly.

After Sima Xiangru came back, he bribed Zhuo Wenjun's servant and sent a courtship letter to Zhuo Wenjun through the servant. Zhuo Wenjun was very excited when she received the love letter, but she knew that her father would not agree to this marriage. Then one night, he sneaked out and defected to Sima Xiangru. They drove back to Sima Xiangru's hometown of Chengdu overnight.

As early as babbling, his mother taught him to recite ancient poems, from The Book of Songs to Songs of the South to Yuefu in the Han Dynasty. He has a good memory and can recite several poems a day. Over the years, I have packed hundreds of poems in my chest.

One day when he was seven years old, his father taught him to recite ancient poems, including the name "Phoenix". Du Fu had long heard of the Phoenix bird, but he had never seen it, so he looked up and asked his father, "What is the Phoenix bird like?" His father told him, "This bird is the king of birds in ancient legends. The male is a phoenix and the female is a phoenix." . Its head is like a chicken, its neck is like a snake, its collar is like a swallow, its back is like a turtle and its tail is like a fish. This bird is not a group with other birds, but a symbol of nobility. "Du Fu was impressed. After a while, he said to his father, "People with aspirations should be like a phoenix, right?" "Father stroked his head happily and said," Yes, yes. "

"Then I'll make a phoenix poem." Du Fu said. Father's eyes widened in surprise: "OK, read it out and I'll listen." So Du Fu shouted. In the poem, he eulogized his ideal phoenix to the fullest, and finally expressed his embrace: a man must be an outstanding person. Father was very happy to hear this, and trained him more attentively from then on.

By the age of 9, Du Fu had been able to write commonly used words, and he often wrote his favorite poems to adults. 14, 15 years old, the local poet must be present at the party, and sometimes people will call him down from the tree! At that time, there was a famous gathering place in Chang 'an, which was Wang Qi's home. Poets, scholars and artists often get together.

Du Fu left home at the age of 20. He traveled to wuyue, climbed Mount Tai and visited Zhao Yan, and gained a lot of knowledge. At the age of 33, he met another poet in Luoyang, that is Li Bai. In his forties, when the country was in turmoil, he left his hometown, drifted from place to place, and had no life, but he wrote poems that were told through the ages with blood and tears.

When he got up, he saw the wall cracked and the neighbor's candle was sticking out of the crack. Kuang Heng saw this and immediately came up with a solution. He found a chisel and made a small hole in the crack in the wall. Immediately, a candlelight rose, and Kuang Heng read the book carefully under this candlelight.

Later, Kuang Heng became a learned Confucian scholar.

One day, I went down the mountain in cut class. Passing a small mountain stream, I saw an old woman grinding iron bars at the edge of the cave. Li Bai felt very strange. When he asked, the grandmother replied that she would use an iron bar to grind the needle. It is not easy to grind a thick iron bar into a fine needle, but grandma is full of confidence. She said: "As long as you work hard, iron bars will be ground into needles." Since then, Li Bai has given up playing truant and studied hard. He studied literature and martial arts, specializing in fencing. Determined to be a chivalrous "ranger".

When he was in Chang 'an, he had heard about Li Bai's poems, and this time he visited Zhong Shu before taking office. His family took him to the willow by the river. He saw a young scholar, wearing a black silk scarf and holding a sword, who was also charming and outstanding. The poet's love for this young man arises spontaneously. He looked at the poem of young Li Bai again. He was surprised first, then admired, and finally clapped his hands. He said, "The little guy's words are almost the same as Sima Xiangru's! Well written, the second Qu Yuan in China was born. "

Li Bai was ambitious and noble-minded since he was a child. At that time, if scholars wanted to be famous, they had to take the Jinshi exam. Li Bai believes that a gentleman should be a pillar of the country if he is alive, otherwise he can only be a civilian all his life. He often compares himself to Xie An, thinking that one day he will "ride the wind and waves, sail straight and wade across the sea".

There are not many poems left by Li Bai in his childhood, and the earlier one is Dai Tian's Visiting a Taoist priest. It is said that one day Li Bai went to the Taoist temple in the mountains to visit a Taoist priest. It's early spring, with peach blossoms, waterfalls and wild bamboo deer. The scenery in the mountains is really beautiful. However, the Taoist priest never came back. From morning to afternoon, he never saw a figure and had to leave angrily. When I got home, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that the Taoist priest was really like an out-of-touch god, and he could no longer hold back his poems.
