Ask him how clear it is? Come for living water from a source.
Translation?
The half-acre square pond is displayed in front of you like a mirror. The brilliance of the sky and the shadow of the floating clouds all move together in the mirror. I want to ask why the water in Fangtang is so clear? It is because there is an inexhaustible source that continuously delivers living water to it.
2. Occasionally
Author Zhu Xi? Song Dynasty
It is easy for a young man to learn from an old man, but it is difficult to succeed, and an inch of time cannot be taken lightly.
I haven’t realized the dream of spring grass in the pond, but the phoenix leaves in front of the steps have already sounded in autumn.

It is very easy to pass away the days of youth, but it is difficult to achieve success in learning, so you must cherish every inch of time and not let it go easily. Before I could wake up from the sweet dream of spring grass growing in the pond, the leaves of the sycamore trees in front of the steps were already rustling in the autumn wind.
3. Observing books
Author Yu Qian? Dynasty and Ming dynasty
The books are as affectionate as old friends, with joy and sorrow in the morning and dusk. There are three thousand words in front of my eyes, and there is not a speck of dust in my chest.
The source of living water is everywhere, and the east wind brings new flowers and willows every time. The golden saddle and jade are looking for a fragrant guest. If you don’t believe that there will be spring in our house.
Translation?
My feelings for books are like friends that have been with me for many years. No matter whether I am sad or happy in the morning or evening, I always have them with me. After browsing countless words in front of my eyes, I no longer have any distracting thoughts in the world. Fresh ideas come in a steady stream and are inexhaustible, like flowers and willows changing into new colors in the east wind. Astride the golden saddle, the dignitaries still lamented that the trace of her beauty was hard to find, and they did not believe that there was a special spring scene in this study.
4. Two Poems from Bailu Cave, Part One

I am already deep in spring when I am reading, and every inch of time is worth every inch of gold.
It is not the Taoist who comes to make people laugh, Zhou Qing and Kong Sizheng are pursuing it.

Concentrate on reading, spring is over before you know it, and every inch of time is as precious as an inch of gold. It was not that the Taoists came to laugh at him, but he devoted himself to studying the essence of Zhou Gong's thoughts and teachings of Confucius.
5. Encouragement to learn
Author Meng Jiao? Dynasty Tang Dynasty
When a stone is struck, there is fire; 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 one grow into a young man?
Translation?
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 obtained 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?
