: "A rope cuts the wood, and a drop of water penetrates the stone." It means : As long as people have perseverance and have the word "diligence" at the forefront, they can accomplish things successfully.

Speaking of "the rope cuts the wood and the water drops penetrate the stone", there is also a grim story -

Luo Dajing of the Song Dynasty said in Volume 10 of "Helin Jade Dew": Zhang Guai When Ya was appointed magistrate of Chongyang County, a petty official came out of the warehouse. Zhang found a copper coin next to his temples and under his turban. When he asked, he found out that the coin was from the warehouse. Guaiya ordered him to be slapped with a board. The clerk was furious and said: "A small amount of money, what does it mean? Is it worth beating me? You can beat me, but you can't kill me, right?" The county magistrate immediately picked up his pen and wrote a sentence, saying: "One penny a day , A thousand days and a thousand days, the rope cuts the wood, and the water drips through the stone.

..." and personally picked up the sword, walked down the steps, and killed the petty official; then reported to his superiors to impeach himself.

The "rope cuts the wood, and the water drops penetrate the stone" here is used as a metaphor As for the meaning of accumulating over time, accumulating small amounts into large amounts, accumulating small amounts into large amounts can be traced back to the Han Dynasty -

According to the "Biography of Meisheng in the Book of Han": Meicheng, a poet in the Western Han Dynasty. When he was serving as a doctor to King Wu Liu Bi, he wrote to the King of Wu to advise him not to rebel and to be more careful in order to avoid disaster and remain invincible. Unipolar break stem. Water is not the drill of stone, nor is it the saw of wood. Gradual decline makes it so. "It means: The spring water in Mount Tai can drip through the stone, and the well rope used to draw water can wear down the derrick. Water is not a drill for drilling holes in the stone, and the well rope is not a saw used to pull apart the wood. Constant friction makes them like this.

How could Mei Cheng think of using "piercing the stone" and "breaking the stem" to describe "grinding the bottom hard, not seeing the damage, and sometimes it will be exhausted". ? He was inspired by Xunzi -

Xunzi was a thinker and educator in the Warring States Period. He wrote the book "Xunzi: Encouraging Learning": "Persevere and give up." Rotten wood cannot be broken; if you persevere, gold and stone can be carved. "It means: If you stop cutting, even rotten wood can't be cut; if you work hard and keep carving, metal and stone can also be carved with patterns. The idiom "perseverance" comes from here. < /p>

It can be seen that Xunzi places great emphasis on subjective efforts, emphasizing not only the subjective efforts of others, but also his own subjective efforts. : “Carve out rotten wood diligently, and guide Mengquan carefully. "It's quite interesting. It can also be seen that the spirit of "a rope cuts a tree, and a drop of water penetrates a stone" is nothing more than the word "diligence". It has more ideological brilliance than Confucius scolding his student Zaiyu, "Rotten wood cannot be carved."
