1, story

At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius, an educator, thinker and politician, often traveled around the world with his disciples. Once, they came to Chu, and their doctor warmly received Confucius.

Shen Zhuliang is called Lord Ye. He only heard that Confucius was a thinker and politician and taught many excellent students, but he didn't know much about Confucius himself, so he asked his student Luz about his character. Lutz followed Confucius for many years, but he didn't know how to answer at the moment, so he didn't say anything.

Later, when Confucius learned about it, he said to Luz, "You should tell him this: Confucius is a man who is so absorbed in studying hard that he doesn't get bored that he forgets to eat and sleep;" Talk about imparting knowledge and moral etiquette, and don't worry about poverty or sorrow; I love learning, and even forget my age. "

Confucius' words showed his lofty ideals and his desire for knowledge and learning. At that time, ancient books such as poems, books, rites and music were incomplete, and few people could understand the system of rites and music, so Confucius devoted himself to sorting out and textual research, so that the almost deserted rites and music could be spread around the world. Confucius' persistent pursuit of knowledge and the spirit of forgetting to eat and sleep can be seen from this.

2. reasons

On the one hand, this idiom tells people that whether they are working or studying, they should work hard and concentrate on themselves to achieve the state of forgetting themselves. It encourages people to study hard, cherish time and read widely, so as to realize their fame and fortune. For example, to make immortal achievements in the field of ancient Chinese characters research requires unimaginable sweat.

Similarly, if you are engaged in any academic research, you can only achieve fruitful results if you go through the arduous process yourself. Teachers' teaching and students' learning are all the same. On the other hand, showing interest is a good teacher. When a person is interested in something, he can always devote himself wholeheartedly, even to the point where he doesn't want to sleep and forgets to eat. Therefore, it is very important to cultivate interest.
