An appreciation of the ancient poems about hard work is as follows:
1. Be tenacious despite all the hardships, regardless of the winds from east to west, north and south.
Source: "Bamboo and Stone" by Zheng Banqiao
Interpretation: It has withstood thousands of hardships and blows, but it is still as tough and upright; no matter whether it is the east wind, west wind, south wind or north wind, it cannot turn it away. It blows down and cannot be brought to its knees.
2. The road is long and long, and I will search up and down.
Source: Qu Yuan's "Li Sao"
Interpretation: The road is narrow, long and endless, and I must work hard to find the sun in my heart. It expresses Qu Yuan's positive attitude of "exploring the road while the sky is still dark".
3. The old man is still ambitious, but his ambition is thousands of miles; the martyrs are ambitious in their old age.
Source: Cao Cao's "Stepping out of Xiamen"
Interpretation: Although the old thousand-mile horse is crouching beside the manger, the ambition is still galloping thousands of miles; even if the ambitious person arrives In his later years, his drive for progress never ceases.
4. The rope cuts the wood, and the water drops penetrate the stone.
Source: Ban Gu's "Book of Han·Meicheng Biography".
Explanation: The water flowing from Mount Tai can penetrate rocks, and very thin ropes can break tree trunks. Water is not a diamond-headed drill, nor is a rope a saw for sawing wood, but little by little friction causes the stone to break through the wood.
5. There will be times when the wind blows and the waves break, and the clouds and sails are hung directly to help the sea.
Source: "Traveling is Difficult" by Li Bai
Interpretation: Although there are many difficulties ahead now, sooner or later I will ride the wind and waves and reach the other shore of my dreams.
6. Thousands of hammers were used to carve out the mountains, and the fire burned them as if nothing happened.
Source: Yu Qian's "Song of Lime"
Interpretation: It can only be mined from the mountains after thousands of hammerings, and it regards the burning of raging fire as a very common thing thing.
