1. It’s like discussing and discussing, like polishing. ——"The Book of Songs·Wei Feng·Qi'ao"

Translation: The study of knowledge becomes more exquisite, and the study of moral character becomes better.

2. Read old books without getting tired of reading them hundreds of times. If you read them carefully and think deeply, you will know yourself. ——Song Dynasty Su Shi's "Poem of Farewell to An Jing"

Translation: The classics you have read should be recited over and over again. Once you are familiar with them, you will naturally ponder and understand their meanings.

3. The ancients spared no effort in their knowledge, and only when they are young and old can they achieve success. ——Lu You, Song Dynasty, "Reading on a Winter Night to Show Ziyu"

Translation: The ancients spared no effort in learning knowledge. They worked hard when they were young and achieved success in old age.

4. The books are as affectionate as old friends, and the joys and sorrows of the morning and evening are close to each other. There are three thousand words in front of my eyes, and there is not a speck of dust in my chest.

The source of living water is everywhere, and the east wind brings new flowers and willows every time. The golden saddle and jade are looking for a fragrant guest. If you don’t believe that there will be spring in our house.

——"Guanshu" by Yu Qian of the Ming Dynasty

Interpretation: My feelings for books are like friends for many years. No matter whether I am sad or happy in the morning or evening, I always have them with me. After browsing countless words in front of my eyes, I no longer have any distracting thoughts in the world. Fresh ideas come in a steady stream and are inexhaustible, like flowers and willows changing into new colors in the east wind. Astride the golden saddle, the dignitaries still lamented that the trace of her beauty was hard to find, and they did not believe that there was a special spring scene in this study.

5. Confucius said: "Isn't it right to learn and practice it over time? Isn't it a joy to have friends come from afar? If a person doesn't know and is not stunned, isn't he a gentleman?" - Spring and Autumn Period Confucius's "The Analects of Confucius·Xueer"

Translation: After studying, isn't it also very pleasant to practice what you have learned often? Isn’t it nice to have like-minded people coming from afar? If I don’t get angry when others don’t understand me, wouldn’t I also be a morally cultivated person?
