Poems about a gentleman’s constant self-improvement are as follows:

1. There will be times when the wind and waves break, and the clouds and sails will be hung directly to help the sea. ——Li Bai's "The Road Is Difficult. Part One"

Appreciation: This sentence "There will be strong winds and waves, so hang up the clouds and sail across the sea!" is the finishing touch. The author believes that despite the obstacles ahead, the ending In the second sentence, after the previous repeated twists and turns, his realm suddenly opened up and he sang a high and optimistic tune, believing that his own ideals and ambitions would one day be realized.

2. Who has never died since ancient times? Keep your loyalty to reflect history. ——Wen Tianxiang "Crossing the Lingding Ocean"

In this poem, "loyal heart" refers to a red and fiery heart. People who are loyal to the country are generally described as "blue-blooded loyal hearts." "History" refers to historical books. The meaning of these two poems, "No one in life has died since ancient times, and his loyalty will be remembered by history." means that since ancient times, people are bound to die! But death must be meaningful. If you can be loyal to the country, you can still shine for thousands of years after your death and leave your name in history.

3. When hundreds of rivers reach the sea from the east, when will they return to the west? If a young man does not work hard, the old man will be miserable! ——Anonymous "Long Song Xing"

Appreciation: Using the metaphor of hundreds of rivers flowing eastward into the sea and never returning to the west, the truth to be told from the front is expressed from the side in a euphemistic and tortuous way. In this way, it not only deepens the truth to be preached, but also strengthens the power of persuasion. In terms of technique, it is "gaining momentum", and in terms of concept, it is "easy to explain" to reflect "deep".

In the end, it all boiled down to nine or twelve sentences. If we don’t cherish time and work hard when we are young and strong, we will only be sad in vain when we are old!

4. Live as a hero, and die as a ghost. I still miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong. ——Li Qingzhao's "Summer Quatrains"

This is a nostalgic poem that uses the past to satirize the present and express grief and indignation. The first two sentences of the poem are astonishing and speak directly from the heart, proposing that people should "be born as heroes", make contributions to the country, and serve the court; "die" should also be "ghost heroes", so as to be worthy of being a good man who stands upright and upright. The deep patriotism burst out and shocked people's hearts.

In the last two sentences, the poet praised Xiang Yu's tragic actions to satirize the shameless behavior of those in power in the Southern Song Dynasty who did not want to make progress and lived in an ignoble existence. There are only twenty short words in the whole poem, but three allusions are used in succession. It can be said that every word is precious, and there is a sense of righteousness between the lines.
