Ren Bonian, a famous painter in the late Qing Dynasty, was born in Shanghai. Thanks to his efforts in his youth, he can become a great painter. Ren Bonian's father is also a painter. Under the influence of his father, he began to study at the age of two or three and liked to watch his father draw. At the age of twelve, my father died unfortunately, leaving my family destitute. So Ren Bonian dropped out of school and became an apprentice in a fan shop. I am very tired after a day's work, but no matter how tired, he still insists on drawing a few strokes every day; Because he had no money to buy paper, he painted with waste paper. When the shop owner knew about it, he saw that his paintings were really extraordinary and asked him to paint for the fans. From then on, Ren Bonian learned something useful and became more enthusiastic about painting. Finally, he became a famous painter.
First, capsule fireflies read at night.
Che Yin, who was born in the Jin Dynasty, was a rich boy, but later his family came down and became penniless. However, he can constantly improve himself in adversity.
Che Yin was sensible and diligent when he was young. Because he has to help his family during the day, he wants to use the long night to read more books and enrich himself. However, his family is poor and has no spare money to buy oil and light a lamp. How did he break through the limitations of objective conditions? At first, he had to recite the contents of books at night, until one summer night, he saw several fireflies flying and small fluorescent lights flashing in the dark. So he came up with a good idea: he caught many fireflies and put them in a small bag sewn with white summer cloth. Because the white summer cloth is very thin and can emit the light of fireflies, he hung up his bag and became a "lighting lamp". Che Yin studied hard and finally became a famous scholar, and later became a popular official.
Second, Xue Ying studies.
There was a scholar named Sun Kang in the Jin Dynasty. He is born smart, never forgets his reading, and answers questions when talking to people. Sun Kang likes reading very much. When he was very young, he often couldn't put it down, and Le Shu never got tired of it day and night. Although the family is poor and often looks like a vegetable, it is difficult to hide the brilliance and enthusiasm from the heart. But as he grew older, he became more and more addicted to reading, but his family went from bad to worse. His family said that he could no longer afford to read too much and consume lamp oil, which meant that he could not study at night. Sun Kang is not a nerd, and he doesn't think there are a few minutes of millet or Yan Ruyu in the book, but reading is really a very happy thing, which brings him a completely different world, makes him realize the fun of thinking, makes his mind clear and lofty, and completely transcends the current embarrassing situation. But at present, there is no reading during the day, which makes him feel unbearable every night. It was a cold winter night, and he left his dilapidated and deserted home and came to the snowy field with moonlight shining. He was puzzled and helpless, and he felt very uncomfortable and didn't know what to do. However, while he was hesitating, an idea suddenly occurred to him. It turns out that in this bright moonlight, the snowfield reflects boundless silver light, and the surrounding scenery is very clear. It seems that God was moved by his sincere desire to study, and he deliberately turned this place into a good place for him to study. He was overjoyed, ran home, took out his book and looked at the snow light.
From then on, every moonlit night, Sun Kang would take a book to the snow and use the reflection of the snow to learn. Later, he became a famous scholar. His story of "reading in the snow" has also been passed down as a much-told story, becoming a model of being diligent and studious.
Third, cut the wall and steal the light
In the Western Han Dynasty, there was a farmer's child named Kuang Heng. He wanted to study very much when he was a child, but because his family was poor, he couldn't afford to go to school. Later, he learned to read from a relative before he could read.
Kuang Heng can't afford books, so he has to borrow books to read. At that time, books were so valuable that people who had books refused to lend them to others easily. During the busy farming season, Kuang Heng worked as a short-term worker for wealthy families and asked them to lend him books for free.
A few years later, Kuang Heng grew up and became the main labor force in the family. He works in the field all day, and only has time to read a little book during his lunch break, so it often takes ten days and a half months to finish reading a book. Kuang Heng was in a hurry, thinking: planting crops during the day, no time to read, you can spend more time reading at night. But Kuang Heng's family is too poor to buy oil for lighting. What should we do?
One night, Kuang Heng was lying in bed reciting the books he had read during the day. Behind me, I suddenly saw a light coming through the east wall. He stood up and went to the wall to have a look. Ah! It turned out that the neighbor's light came through the cracks in the wall. So Kuang Heng thought of a way: he picked up a knife and dug several cracks in the wall. In this way, the light coming through is also very big, so he gathered the light coming through and began to read.
Kuang Heng studied so hard that he became a learned man.
