Sun Jing went to Luoyang Imperial College to study. He studies from morning till night every day and often forgets to eat and sleep. After a long time, he would be too tired to doze off, so he found a rope, one end of which was tied to the beam and the other end was tied to his hair. When he dozes off while reading, the rope will pull his hair and hurt his scalp, so that people will naturally not doze off and can continue to study. Since then, he has used this method every night when studying. This is the story of Sun Jing's Hanging Beam.
After studying hard year after year, Sun Jing read many poems and became a great scholar.
Su Qin was a famous strategist in the Warring States Period. Luoyang (Taiping Village, Li Lou Township) was from Nathan Scott Lee in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. When he was young, he was ambitious and studied with Guiguzi for many years. In order to gain fame, he sold his family property, bought gorgeous clothes, and went to the State of Qin to lobby King Hui of Qin, hoping to gradually unify China with the skill of Lian Heng, which was not adopted.
Because I stayed in Qin for too long, I was exhausted and had to go home in rags. Relatives were cold to him when they saw him so down and out. Su Qin was ashamed and determined to study hard, so he took out the book Yin Fu given to him by his master and studied hard day and night. He prepared an awl when he was reading. When he dozed off, he stabbed himself in the thigh with an awl, forcing himself to wake up and concentrate on reading. After doing this for a year, he traveled around the world again. This time, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao and Wei were finally persuaded to "unite vertically" against Qin, and kept the seal of the six countries. Su Qin signed a treaty with six countries to jointly fight against Qin, and issued a treaty to the State of Qin, which made the King of Qin 15 years afraid to peep at Hangu Pass.
The original intention of smelling chickens dancing is to get up and dance swords when you hear chickens crowing, and then get up in time compared with those who are interested in serving the country. The classic comes from Biography of Jin Zu: It is said that Zu Ti, a general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was ambitious when he was young. Every time I talk to my good friend Liu Kun about the current situation, he is always impassioned and indignant. In order to serve the country, as soon as they heard the cock crow in the middle of the night, they got up in clothes, drew their swords and practiced martial arts, and worked hard. Synonym: self-improvement.
