1. "Qinxue" Song Dynasty: Wang Zhu

Study and work hard will lead to thousands of books in the window.

Three winters are enough now, who laughs with an empty stomach.

Interpretation:

Knowledge requires hard work, just like the predecessors who used fireflies to catch light, diligently read at night, and read many books.

After several years of hard study, "three winters of literature and history are enough", and you have knowledge. Who will laugh at you at that time for your lack of knowledge and knowledge?

2. "Little Pine" Tang Dynasty: Du Xunhe

Since childhood, I have been thorny in the grass, but now I am gradually aware of the basil. ?

At that time, people didn’t know the Lingyun tree, and they waited until Lingyun began to flourish.

Interpretation:

When the pine tree was young, it grew in very deep grass, and was buried so deep that it could not be seen.

Only now do I realize that it is already thicker than those weeds. (Basil) is much higher.

Those people did not know that trees could reach the sky.

People did not say it was tall until it reached the sky.

3. "Climbing the Stork Tower" Tang Dynasty: Wang Zhihuan

The sun sets over the mountains and the Yellow River flows into the sea.

If you want to see a thousand miles away, take it to the next level.

Interpretation:

The setting sun slowly sinks against the Western Mountains, and the mighty Yellow River rushes toward the East China Sea.

If you want to see enough of the thousands of miles of scenery, you have to climb to a higher tower.

4. "Winter Night Reading Shows Ziyu" Song Dynasty: Lu You

The ancients spared no efforts in learning, and it was only when they were young that they were able to achieve success.

What you have learned on paper will eventually make you realize it, but you will definitely know that this matter must be carried out.

Interpretation:

The ancients spared no effort in learning, and often did not achieve success until old age.

The knowledge obtained from books is not perfect after all. If you want to deeply understand the truth, you must practice it yourself.

5. "Encouraging Learning" Tang Dynasty: Meng Jiao

When a stone is struck, there is fire, but if it is not struck, there is no smoke.

People only know when they learn, but it is unnatural if they do not learn.

Everything has its own destiny, and it is not me who is the best.

Youth must be born early, how can you grow into a young man?

Interpretation:

Only when the stone is hit, there will be sparks; if not hit, not even a little smoke will come out.

The same is true for people. Only through learning can we master knowledge; if we don’t learn, knowledge will not fall from the sky.

Everything must be practiced by yourself. The knowledge gained by others cannot replace your own talents.

You should work hard as early as possible during your youth. Can a person remain a "youngster" forever?
