The original text of Sun Quan's Persuasion of Learning is as follows:
One day, Sun Quan and Lu Mengjun and Chen chatted "with nothing to do". Of course, Sun Quan was prepared to talk. Sun Quan said, "Lv Aiqing, now you are in charge of the national military affairs in a high position in the DPRK, so you have to study more and make progress!" Of course, Lu Meng was not confused, but he said sincerely: It's not that I don't want to study, mainly because I'm too busy. There are a lot of things to deal with in the army, and I'm too difficult. " Lv Meng had a headache when he thought about studying, so he used various reasons for military affairs to avoid studying.
Sun Quan smiled and said unhurriedly, "I don't want you to study, I don't want you to be a scholar who studies Confucian classics, I just want you to know something about the past. You said you were busy with work, but who can compare with me? Although I am busy, I often read books, and personally, I think reading more books is of great benefit to me. "
Lu Meng was deeply ashamed of Sun Quan's heart-to-heart remarks. Since then, he has become a personal person and started to work hard. He usually studies hard in his spare time to improve his knowledge and self-cultivation as soon as he finishes handling military affairs.
After a while, Lu Su, the then prefect of Nanjun, went to Lu Meng's residence to look for Yang, and discussed the state affairs with Lu Meng. Lu Meng made a detailed analysis of the current situation at that time, and Lu Su said with a little surprise, "Your current talent and strategy are no longer the Amon of Wuxian!" Lv Meng said humbly: "After parting from the studious and enterprising people for a while, we will look at it with a new eye when we get together again. My brother knows this too late!" "
So Lu Su thought that Lu Meng was a friend, so he went to visit his mother at Lu Meng's house and made friends with Lu Meng before parting.
sun quan's exhortation to learn is selected from volume 66 of zi zhi tong Jian compiled by Sima guang, and the title of the article was added by later generations. Although the length of this article is short, the author vividly created three vivid artistic images by recording several dialogues of the characters.
Let's first look at the author's description of Sun Quan. As the head of the Wu State, the situation was not optimistic at that time. Although the three countries were in a state of separation, they were still in danger. Now he is busy with government affairs at home, so he needs someone to share it, so he encourages Lv Meng to study more.
When Lv Meng found an excuse to refuse, he coaxed and said, "I don't want you to study classics as a doctor's evil! But when dabbling, see the past. "First tell Lv Meng that the purpose of reading is not to make him a scholar, but to learn about history, draw lessons from it and increase his knowledge and intelligence.
He further enlightened Lu Meng on his so-called excuse of "doing too many things in the army": "Who is lonely when you talk too much? ","lonely often read, think it is of great benefit. "Persuade Lv Meng to receive further education with his personal experience of learning benefits.
In the whole dialogue in the article, Sun Quan did not use the majesty of a king to force Lv Meng to study, but used friendly conversation to inspire him to read more and study more and strive to improve himself.
Look at Lu Meng's responses before and after. When he didn't study, he made excuses to avoid learning. Later, he made great progress through learning, and he was comfortable in chatting with Lu Su, so Lu Su couldn't help but admire: "Only those who are talented in today's life can't help but reply to Wu Xiameng! "
And Lv Meng only replied modestly:" It's even more impressive to say goodbye for three days. Why can't Big Brother see things too late? "
This short 119-word ancient prose tells the story that Lu Meng, a famous Wu star, began to work hard under the persuasion of Sun Quan, the king of the Three Kingdoms, and later made great progress in his knowledge. At the same time, it also praised Sun Quan, the king of a country, and Lu Meng's spirit of studying hard, and told us how important it is to persist in studying and study hard.
People are inherently lazy and fragile. We often say that we should try to change ourselves, but we always use the excuse that we are busy with work and have no time to read and study, but we have time to play mobile phones, brush videos and play games, so that precious time is wasted. So, you should work hard quietly from now on, and then surprise everyone like Lv Meng.
