1. Stabbing the stocks and hanging the beam
During the Warring States Period, Su Qin was so tired that he stabbed his leg with an awl to clear his head. Sun Jing of the Han Dynasty tied his hair to the beam with a rope in order to prevent him from falling asleep while studying, and he would be woken up as long as he dozed off. This is the story of "stabbing the stock and hanging the beam" in history.
2. Digging into the wall to steal light
Che Yin, Sun Kang and Kuang Heng in the Jin Dynasty were all poor, and they couldn't even afford to buy oil for lighting. In the summer night, Che Yin made a small pocket with gauze, caught some fireflies and put them in, reading by the light of fireflies; Sun Kang sat in the snow on a cold winter night, studying hard with the reflection of snow; Kuang Heng cut a small hole in the wall and "stole" a little light from his neighbor's house to read.
These are the stories told by the idioms "A firefly reflects snow" and "Digging a wall to steal light".

Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty in Mo Chi, practiced calligraphy hard since childhood. Every time he finished writing, he went to the pond in front of his house to wash his brush. After a long time, a pool of clear water turned into a pool of ink. Later, people called this pond "Mo Chi". Through diligent study and hard practice, Wang Xizhi finally became a famous calligrapher and was called a "book saint".
4. Lv Meng studied
Lv Meng was a general of the State of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period. He made great contributions many times, but he didn't like reading. So Sun Quan said to Lv Meng
, "You are a general now, and you have a heavy burden on your shoulders.
You must read more books and learn more." Lv Meng began to read. Slowly, he found that there were many things in the book that he didn't know before.
He read the story that Sun Bin lured Pang Juan into underestimating his enemy and finally defeated Pang Juan, which made him feel an eye-opener. As a result, Lv Meng gradually fell in love with reading. When he was busy with military affairs, he plunged into the pile of books and eagerly read ancient art of war and history books. After several years, Lu Meng's military talents have greatly improved. Sun Quan was very happy, so he made Lv Meng the viceroy, commanding the national military forces.
5. Ru Xun studied
Tang Ru Xun was from the Ming Dynasty. He was a clever and lovely child when he was a child. Who knows, when he was five years old, he unfortunately got smallpox, which made Tang Ruxun's world lose its light.
He can no longer see the beautiful scenery outside, the smiles on his friends' faces and his relatives. He was in great pain.
However, as he grew older, he gradually adapted to the days when there was no light, and began to face life positively.
When the brothers are in class, Tang Ruxun listens carefully and remembers attentively. Although he is strong, he also encounters difficulties in the process of learning. Because he can't see, he often has to make much more efforts than others.
Sometimes, the text is very long.
He simply can't remember what Mr. Wang said by listening to his ears, so he has to learn from the ancients to remember by tying a rope. He also likes poetry, because the artistic conception described in the poem
songs can be appreciated without eyes. After unremitting efforts, Tang Ruxun finally became a famous scholar and poet in the Ming Dynasty.
