Idiom allusion:

This idiom comes from "Mianshui Yan Tan Lu". Taizong of the Song Dynasty read three volumes of "Yu Lan" every day. Due to lack of work, he made up for it in his spare time. Taste said: "Opening the book is helpful, I don't think it's a bother." In the early years of the Song Dynasty, Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi ordered civil servants Li Fang and others to compile a large-scale classification encyclopedia - "Taiping General Classification". This book collects and excerpts the important contents of more than 1,600 ancient books, classified into 55 categories, and has a thousand volumes. It is a very valuable reference book. This book was compiled during the Taiping and Xingguo years of the Song Dynasty, so it was named "Taiping General Classification". For such a huge work, Song Taizong stipulated that he should read at least two or three volumes every day, and read them all within one year, so he changed its name to "Taiping Yulan". When Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty made up his mind to devote energy to reading this great book, someone once felt that it was too hard for the emperor to deal with so many national affairs every day and to read such a big book, so they advised him to read less, not necessarily every day. You have to read them all so as not to overwork yourself. However, Song Taizong replied: "I like reading very much. I often get pleasure from books. Reading more books will always be beneficial. Besides, I don't feel tired." So he still insisted on reading three volumes every day. Sometimes he was delayed due to busy state affairs, so he would take time to make up for it, and often said to the people around him: "As long as you open the book, there will always be benefits." Song Taizong was very knowledgeable because he read three volumes of "Taiping Yulan" every day. , and he is also very handy in handling national affairs. The ministers at that time saw that the emperor was so diligent in reading, and they followed suit one after another. Therefore, the trend of reading was very strong at that time. Even the prime minister Zhao Pu, who usually did not read, also diligently read "The Analects of Confucius". It was said that "half of the Analects rules the world." Later, "opening a book is beneficial" became an idiom, describing that as long as you open a book and read, there will always be benefits. It is often used to encourage people to be diligent and studious, and reading more will benefit them.
