In the Western Han Dynasty, there was a very studious young man named Kuang Heng. However, because his family was poor and had no money to light a lamp, his house was dark at night and he was unable to study. What should he do? One night, he saw a candle being lit in the house next door, so he quietly drilled a small hole in the wall, letting the candlelight that slightly passed through the hole reflect on the book. In this way, he borrowed the neighbor's light every night. Read until the neighbor turns out the lights.

In this way, in an objective environment with poor learning conditions, Kuang Heng did everything possible to overcome difficulties, create conditions, acquire knowledge, and later became a famous scholar in the Western Han Dynasty. This shows that the external environment and conditions are important factors for people's learning, but they are not the decisive factor. The key to a person's achievement lies in his own hard work.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a man named Sun Jing, a famous politician. When he was young, he was diligent and studious. He often closed the door and studied alone. Reading from morning to night every day, often forgetting to eat and sleep. After studying for a long time, I was tired and didn’t rest. After a long time, I was so tired that I dozed off. He was afraid that it would affect his study and study, so he came up with a special method. In ancient times, men's hair was very long. He found a rope and tied one end firmly to the beam. When he was tired from studying, he took a nap. As soon as he lowered his head, the rope would hold his hair, which would hurt his scalp. He would wake up immediately and continue reading and studying.

This is the story of Sun Jing’s hanging.

During the Warring States Period, there was a man named Su Qin who was also a famous politician. When I was young, due to my limited knowledge, I went to work in many places but was not taken seriously. After returning home, his family was also very cold towards him and looked down upon him. This stimulated him greatly. Therefore, he made up his mind to study hard. He often studied until late at night and was very tired. He often took naps and wanted to sleep. He also figured out a way to prepare an awl, and when he dozed off, he would use the awl to prick his thigh. In this way, I suddenly felt pain, woke myself up, and continued reading. This leads to the story of Su Qin's "gut stabbing".

[Note]: From the story of Sun Jing and Su Qin who were studying, the idiom "hanging beams and thorns" is derived, which is used to describe the spirit of studying hard and studying hard. Their spirit of studying hard is good, but their methods of studying diligently do not need to be imitated.
