The ancient "poems to encourage learning" can be roughly divided into six categories according to their content: 1. Determined to learn more since childhood and have high ambitions in life. Others carry swords, but I have a pen like a sword. ("Poems of a Child Prodigy") In the morning he was a farmer, and in the evening he ascended to the Emperor's Hall. Generals have no seeds at all, but men should strengthen themselves. ("Poems of a Child Prodigy") After forty years of reading and reading, there is a blue sky above the black gauze. The man wants to paint Lingyan Pavilion. He wants fame first and does not care about money. (Ming Dynasty Yang Jisheng's "Poetry of Yan Zhi") 2. Study diligently. The lights are on at three o'clock and the chickens are on at five o'clock. It is the time for men to study. Black-haired people don't know how to study diligently early, and white-haired people regret studying late. (Encouragement to Learning by Yan Zhenqing of the Tang Dynasty) Learning is like hard work, and you know yourself if you are diligent and lazy. But if there are many kinds of books, there will be good times. (Liu Guo's "Academy" in the Song Dynasty) 3. Cherishing the time The sunflowers in the green garden are waiting for the morning dew. In the spring of Budeze, all things will be radiant. I am often afraid that when the autumn festival comes, the leaves of yellow flowers will wither. Hundreds of rivers flow from the east to the sea, when will they return to the west? If a young man does not work hard, the old man will be sad. ("Long Song Xing") The prime years will never come again, and the morning will never come again. Be encouraged in time, time waits for no one. (Miscellaneous Poems by Tao Yuanming of Jin Dynasty) I advise you not to cherish your gold-threaded clothes, I advise you to cherish your youth. If there are flowers, you must break them off. Don’t wait until there are no flowers. (Tang Dynasty's "Golden Threaded Clothes") Today is the same as today, how little today is! If you don’t do it today, when will this happen? It’s been a hundred years since I lived my life. It’s a pity that I can’t live today! Ruo Yangu will wait for the arrival of the Ming Dynasty, and there will be Ming Dynasty affairs in the Ming Dynasty. I will compose today’s poem for you. Please start working hard from today. (Ming Wenjia's "Today's Song") Tomorrow comes tomorrow, there are so many tomorrows. I live to wait for tomorrow, everything will be wasted. If the world is tired of tomorrow, spring will pass and autumn will come, and old age will come. Look at the water flowing in the east in the morning, and the sun setting in the west at dusk. What will happen in a hundred years? Please listen to my song tomorrow. ("Song of Tomorrow" by Qian Yong of the Qing Dynasty) 4. Methods: Don't read in a hurry. The reading time is long and interesting. You might as well let it go if you don't know, but you need to think about it urgently. ("Studying" by Lu Jiuyuan of the Song Dynasty) There are not many troubles in reading, but there are not many troubles in thinking about meaning. If you are suffering enough, you will not learn; if you are learning, you will not be able to do it. (Han Yu's "Poetry to Encourage Learning" of the Tang Dynasty) 5. Experience The half-acre square pond is open, and the skylight and moonlight linger endlessly. Ask the canal how clear it is, because there is a source of living water. ("Reflections on Reading" by Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty) The spring water grew by the river last night, and the huge ships were washed away by a dime. I have always wasted my efforts in pushing forward, but today I am able to move freely. (Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty, "Reflections on Reading Books") 6. Fun The trees fell into the water and thousands of cliffs withered, but I also saw the true self. Sitting facing the moving wall with Wei weaving lanterns, singing loudly as the snow falls on the hut in the middle of the night. The earth stove and the tea cauldron make the fire live, and everything is clear enough to be called a scholar. Where can I find the joy of reading? Count the plum blossoms in the world. (Yuan Wengsen's "The Joy of Reading in Four Seasons" Winter) Reading in spring brings long interest, grinding the inkstone and making the pen fragrant. Don't be lazy when studying. The world, the sun and the moon are busier than people. Yanyu and Yingge hope to comprehend, and peach blossoms and Li Bai write articles.
