A specific question
Is it a proverb to read a book a hundred times?
Strictly speaking, this sentence is a famous saying, not a proverb, because "When you read a book a hundred times, you can see its meaning" was first said by Dong Yu during the Three Kingdoms period (see Wei Zhi of the Three Kingdoms).
Although this sentence is widely quoted, it is very strange. People often ignore its origin when citing explanations, so many people think that it comes from the people. Therefore, many people often quote this sentence with sayings such as "the old saying goes", "there is a saying" and "people often say". Even Zhu Xi, a great scholar in the Song Dynasty, did not mention the origin of this sentence, but only said, "The ancients said,' The book has been read a hundred times. It seems that Dong Qian's name is not "written" and has been forgotten by later generations, so he took it as a proverb.
Proverbs are popular and profound fixed sentences that are circulated orally by the people. Such as
perseverance, stone can be carved.
if you are sincere, the stone will open. When people gather firewood, the flames are high. Depend on your parents at home and your friends when you go out. A right heart is not afraid of a crooked shadow. People are not afraid of crooked shadows, and their feet are not afraid of crooked shoes. A straight body and hard feet. A man's knees are as black as crows in the golden world. Three hundred and sixty lines, each line is the champion.
For example: regardless of the willy-nilly (regardless of everything, don't ask the reasons of right and wrong)
"I think, first of all, regardless of the willy-nilly,' bring it'!"
The main features of proverbs are: even sentence structure, harmonious tone, concrete popularity and vivid image. The difference from idioms is that they are generally sentences, which are easy to understand. Agricultural proverbs are often regional.
aphorism
aphorism is an educational epigram. Generally, it is in the hands of celebrities and widely circulated among the masses.
learning is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat.
full of losses, modest benefits. Time is fleeting, so don't wait for me. The work is good at diligence, barren at fun, successful at thinking, and ruined at random. Black hair doesn't know how to study early, and white head regrets how to study late. My life is limited, but knowledge is also limited.
The main feature of the motto is that the content is incisive and thought-provoking: meaningful and thought-provoking.
