Hanging beam stinging:

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a man named Sun Jing, a famous politician. When he was young, he was eager to learn, often behind closed doors and kept reading alone. He studies from morning till night and often forgets to eat and sleep. He was tired and didn't rest. After a long time, he was too tired to doze off. He was afraid that his study would be affected, so he came up with a special way. In ancient times, men's hair was long. One end is firmly tied to the beam. When he is tired of reading, he dozes off. When his head is low, the rope will hold his hair and hurt his scalp, and he will wake up immediately. Then he will continue to study and learn the story of Sun Jing's hanging beam.

Drill a hole in the wall to get some light from the neighbor's house (study very hard)

There is a man named Kuang Heng who likes reading very much. But his family is poor and can't afford candles, so he can't light a lamp and read at night. Kuang Heng's neighbor's house is very nice. Every night, he lights candles and the room is very bright. He wanted to study in his neighbor's house, but he was turned down. Later, Kuang Heng came up with a good idea. He cut a small hole in the wall, and the light from his neighbor's house came in. He put the book in the light, which makes it easy to read. One day, he found a talented master's house with a lot of books piled up at home. He went to help the genius master's family when he had no money. The genius master was very surprised and asked him, "Young man, why are you in vain!" " "Kuang Heng didn't hide, so he said," I work for you, and I don't want to get paid. I just want to borrow your book. I wonder if you will agree? The host was very happy and lent him the books at home. Later, Kuang Heng became a learned man. This idiom means that one should study hard.

Reading with the light of fireflies in bags or the reflected light of snow-pursuing knowledge under difficult conditions

"In the Jin Dynasty, Che Yin studied tirelessly since he was a child, but because of his poor family, his father could not provide him with a good learning environment. In order to maintain food and clothing, there is no extra money to buy him lamp oil for evening study. To this end, he can only use this time to recite poems. " One night in summer, he was reciting an article in the yard when he suddenly saw many fireflies flying at low altitude. The flash is a bit dazzling in the dark. He thought, if you let it go, won't it become a light? So, he went to find a white silk bag, immediately caught dozens of fireflies and put them in, then tied the mouth of the bag and hung it up. Although it is not very bright, it is barely used for reading. From then on, as long as there are fireflies, he will catch one as a lamp. Because he studied hard and practiced hard, he finally became an official in a high position. "The same was true of Sun Kang in the same dynasty." I had to go to bed early. He felt it a pity to let time pass in vain. "One night, when he woke up from his sleep and turned his head to the window, he found a light in the window. It turned out to be a reflection of heavy snow, which he could use to read books. So he was so tired that he immediately got dressed, took out his book and went outside. The snow light released on the vast land is much brighter than that in the room. Sun Kang ignored. He got up and ran, rubbing his fingers. Since then, every snowy night, he has never missed this good opportunity to study tirelessly. This spirit of hard work has promoted his knowledge to advance by leaps and bounds and become a well-read person. Later, he also became a senior official.
