Waiting for pleasure, accumulating strength
"Hehehe, I didn't expect these three little fellows to be so clean!”"Ha ha ha-it's only been a while-look, there's water everywhere. This is called a sneak attack, right? Hahaha, look at them, they're not done yet. Interesting, interesting!”These three babies, Gold, Second Silver, and Jade Pigeon, were really not honest. While the two of them were bragging and chatting, they secretly jumped into the basin on the table and took the basin as a bathroom to take a shower. They first tidied their feathers, shook their bodies, and began to beat their bodies with water. Look, they put their heads into the water, washed their faces, and scratched their faces with their little claws, looking very comfortable. Immediately after, another flood dragon entered the sea. They flapped their wings and stirred up the water in all directions. The water covered the golden mountain. The water on their white feathers was like a string of pearls that actually fascinated their eyes. They really didn't expect that these three little guys would become " drenched chickens " in a short while. The table was covered in water. "I'm flipping through the heavenly book for you. Hey, don't just stand there. Use a handkerchief to wipe the table clean. That's good-don't make me give you a book in the future-" Can't I do it? But let me make this clear first. After I'm done, you can help me flip through the Heavenly Book." Alright, if you want to listen to the Heavenly Book, then be more diligent--"So the two immediately carried out post-processing. "Don't forget in the future. If you want to turn the book upside down, close the pigeon cage first. Otherwise, you'll be in trouble." "You guys should rest in the cage first. Don't mess around." The mixed boss closed the pigeon door firmly and sighed."Do you think it will work now?" "What do you want me to do?" "Haven't you heard enough?”"Haha, didn't you say that there's not only gold in the story, but also a lot of beautiful women?" If they continued forward, they would discover a whole new world.”"Then I'll cheer for you!" "The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold. Then I'll tell you the story of how the ancients were diligent and studious,"said Little Fly.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a man named Sun Jing, a famous politician. When he was young, he was diligent and studious. He often closed his door and read alone. He studied from morning till night, often forgetting to eat or sleep. She had been studying for a long time. She was tired and didn't rest. After a long time, she was so tired that she dozed off. He was afraid that it would affect his studies, so he thought of a special method. He found a rope and tied one end to the beam and the other end to his hair. When he was tired from reading, he would take a nap. When he lowered his head, the rope would pull his hair, which would hurt his scalp. He would wake up immediately and continue to study. Later, he finally became a famous politician.
This was the story of Sun Jing hanging a beam.
During the Warring States Period, there was a famous politician named Su Qin. When he was young, because he did not have much knowledge, he went to many places to do things, but he was not valued. When he returned home, his family was also very cold to him and looked down on him. This was a huge blow to him. Therefore, he made up his mind to study hard. He often read late into the night, was very tired, often dozed off, and wanted to sleep. He also thought of a way to prepare an awl. When he dozed off, he would use the awl to stab his thigh. In this way, he suddenly felt pain, woke himself up, and perked up to continue reading. This was the story of Su Qin stabbing stocks. "Hehe, the ancients were amazing. In order to study, they not only perched on the beam but also pierced the bone. Tsk tsk, not simple!" The mixed director said with emotion.
The ancient dynasty attached great importance to reading, so there was Sun Jing's head hanging beam and Su Qin's piercing awl.
Little Fly commented: These two stories lead to the idiom "hanging beams and stabbing stocks". Although it was said that it was worth advocating to study hard, we also had to realize that we couldn't always work hard to the point of exhaustion. We also needed to stop reading. "Let me tell you, the one who is even better at reading is our ancestor, Confucius."”
Confucius was a philosopher, politician, and founder of Confucianism at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period. His name was Qiu, also known as Zhongni. He was from Zou Yi of the State of Lu (now southeast of Qufu, Shandong Province). He was originally a noble of the State of Song. He was versatile and knowledgeable. Confucius once said that his knowledge was obtained through hard work. Confucius lost his father when he was young and came from a poor family. He did not receive a good education and could only obtain knowledge through self-study. He had been studying hard since he was fifteen years old. Because there was no one to teach him, he would ask for advice when he encountered difficulties in his studies. He was not ashamed to ask questions. He had consulted officials, ordinary people, white-haired old people, and children with pigtails. Confucius was modest and studious, and he had no teachers. At the age of 30, he became a famous local scholar.
That was because there was no paper yet. The main material used to make books was bamboo. Usually, the bamboo was cut into pieces of bamboo sticks, scraped off the green skin on them, dried them with fire, and engraved words on them. It was called the Bamboo Slips. The bamboo slips had a certain length and width. Each bamboo slip could only write one line of words, ranging from dozens to eight or nine. Writing a book required many bamboo slips. After all the contents of the book were written, the bamboo slips had to be connected in order with a strong cowhide rope. Then, it could be read. This process was called "Wei Bian". Since only a few words could be written on a bamboo slip, if a book had a lot of words, it would require dozens or even hundreds of kilograms of bamboo slips. A book like the Book of Changes was, of course, made up of many bamboo slips, so it was rather heavy.
Confucius only began to study the Book of Changes in his later years. The Book of Changes was an ancient book that was very difficult to understand. Confucius had spent a lot of effort to read it all, but he only understood its contents. Then he read it a second time and grasped the basic points. Then, he read it a third time and had a more thorough understanding of the spirit and essence. After that, in order to study this book in depth and to explain it to his disciples, he flipped through the Book of Changes countless times. He read it so many times that the leather strap connecting the bamboo slips broke several times. He had to replace it with new ones and read it again. Even after reading to this point, Confucius still modestly said,""If I could live a few more years, I would be able to understand some of the words and content of the Book of Changes.”This was the story of Wei Bian San Jue. There is an idiom today: Wei, cooked cowhide. In ancient times, bamboo slips were used to write books. The bamboo slips were woven together with cowhide belts, known as "Wei Bian". Three Absolutes, broken multiple times. Later, it was used to describe studying hard. "Hehehe, you're awesome. Even the leather belt used to weave bamboo slips broke three times.”"Yeah-you can imagine how many times he flipped through it. When it comes to reading, Sima Guang, a great scholar in the Northern Song Dynasty, was also ingenious.”"Yeah-you'll know when you hear-"
Little Fly explained," When Sima Guang was young, he studied with his brothers. He felt that his memory was relatively poor, so he tried to overcome this weakness. Every time the teacher finished reading, the brothers would read for a while and barely memorize it. Then, one by one, they would throw away their books and run to the yard to play. Only he refused to leave. He gently closed the door and windows, focused his attention on reading aloud, and read it again and again until he was thoroughly familiar with it. He closed the book and was able to recite it fluently. Only then did he agree to rest. This was called the stupid bird flying first, diligence could fill the gap. Sima Guang had been studying relentlessly since he was young, and he had become even more hardworking after becoming an official. The place he lived in had no other precious furnishings other than books and bedding. The bedding was simple: a wooden bed, a coarse quilt, and a round pillow. Why did he use a round pillow? It was interesting to say that when one was too tired from reading, they would fall asleep. The round wooden pillow was placed on the hard wooden bed and rolled easily. If it moved a little, it would roll away. His head fell on the wooden bed with a thud. He would immediately get up to read when he woke up. Sima Guang gave this round wooden pillow a name: "Police pillow." "Hey, Brother Fly, I'm always impatient. Can your Heavenly Book help?”"If a person doesn't have patience, then nothing can be done. Have you heard of the story of birds learning skills?”"Aiya, I'm ashamed. I'm just an idiot. Other than being an idiot, I only pretend to know. How many baskets of words do I have?”" Haha, let me ask you then?" "Little Swallow, have you seen it before?" "Of course." "What do you think of their nest?" "Is there a need to say that?" Little Fly told the fairy tale of Birds Learning:
Legend has it that in the kingdom of birds, many birds heard that the phoenix could build a nest, so everyone went to her to learn. Phoenix said,"You need to be patient when learning. Without patience, you can't learn anything.”As soon as he started, the owl thought," What a load of nonsense. Phoenixes are just beautiful. They don't have any ability. They're so long-winded. They don't have any ability." There's nothing to learn!" The owl flew away. Phoenix continued,"To build a nest, you must first choose the foundation, such as the three forks on the tree trunk.""So it's just finding a tree branch. It's simple, I know how to do it.”Then the eagle flew away. Phoenix continued,"Put the branches in layers." Just as she said this, Crow interrupted,"So it's just stacking branches. I know."”The crow flew away proudly. "This kind of nest isn't considered good. If you want to live a little more stable, you should build your nest under the eaves, not afraid of the wind, not afraid of the rain."The sparrow listened and thought happily," It's the same as I thought. There's nothing brilliant about it!"”The sparrow turned and flew away. In the end, only the little swallow was left listening attentively. The phoenix said to the little swallow," To build a nest like this, you must not be afraid of hardship or fatigue. You must first pick up the mud and mix it with your saliva. Then, you must pile it up layer by layer. Then, you must pick up some feathers and grass and spread them in the nest. The little swallow was very happy after hearing this. She thanked the phoenix and went back to build the best nest for birds according to the method that the phoenix had told her. Although many birds had learned how to build nests from phoenixes, only swallows 'nests were the best. They were beautiful, sturdy, and very comfortable.
"Speaking of which, do you know why only the nest built by the little swallow is the best? It's beautiful, strong, and comfortable.”Little Fly asked. "Well, well-""Think again?”"Alright, I understand." "Understand what?" " It's because the little swallow is the only one who is dedicated to learning. The little swallow is not afraid of hardship and fatigue. The little swallow's hard work allows it to have a strong and comfortable nest. Other birds don't have much patience and perseverance. They think it's very simple, but they don't learn it well.”The little fly clapped for the bastard. "What else?" "For example, we must have patience and perseverance when we study and live. Don't think that everything is simple and can be done casually. No, no matter what you do, you have to learn well. You can't stop halfway. If you fail at the last step and give up halfway, it would be equivalent to learning in vain.”"Hehehe-our bastard, you understand now-not bad!”
"Come, let's play a game of life, okay?”"How?" " It's very simple. For example, if I'm your mother and I'm busy, my mother will give you a few yuan."”"Help me buy two buns. I'm a little hungry. Now, why don't you come up with a one-act play that you've written and acted yourself and let me share it with you? "Let's begin," the mixed chairman said."Let me try." The sun was blazing this afternoon. What should I do to let my mother eat pancakes as soon as possible? Hehe, I've decided to go there by bike. He could buy buns for his mother and go for a ride. How awesome! Mom said that children under the age of 12 can't ride a bike. You should walk. Hurry up and come back. So I walked slowly towards the stall. He came to the stall and said to the boss,"Two steamed buns, please."”The boss replied," Oh," but when he went to pick up the buns, he said," Oh, sorry-the buns are sold out." Please wait for a moment, I'll steam it for 20 minutes right away."After a while, the boss said,""Boss, are the buns cooked?" "It's still early?" After a while. I said,"Boss Steamed Bun?" " Haha, if you're impatient, you'll only eat raw buns. Wait a little longer."
"I've asked the boss many times, but he said it's not cooked yet. Let's wait a little longer."”Aiyo, the sun is scorching the earth. It's like the scorching sun is burning. The fields are half scorched. I feel like I'm in a steamer. "My sweat gradually came out and fell to the ground. It evaporated in a short while." I couldn't wait that long, so I could only urge him again and again helplessly. The boss repeated like a recorder, It's not cooked yet-wait a little longer." "Oh, my grandma! It's as if every second feels like a year. I finally couldn't take it anymore after living for so many years. My head was burning with anger as I shouted, When will it be cooked? The boss glanced at me.”After hearing his cold answer, I immediately decided not to buy it. I angrily picked up a few yuan and went home sweating. "Haha, you're running out of patience, aren't you?”Little Fly laughed. When Mom saw that I came back empty-handed, she asked curiously,"You didn't buy it?" I told him everything in detail. When his mother heard this, she said seriously,"Wait a little longer, won't the buns be cooked?" How can you be so impatient? Without patience, you can't do anything well! If you go again, I don't believe you can't buy it.”
I listened to him and took the few yuan to the stall again. The steamed buns were cooked, but there were more people this time. Naturally, I was at the end of the line. Aiya, the heavens are really unlucky. It's just my turn, and the cooked buns are gone again. If I hadn't left in a fit of pique, I would definitely have gotten the steamed bun now. The boss said,"The steamed buns still need to be steamed-" But this time, I was firm in my belief. I had to be patient. I had to buy it. " I'm not afraid. I'll wait." Although I waited for a long time, I finally persevered to the end and got my wish. I bought the steamed buns. Aiyoyo, when Mom and I ate the delicious buns together, we felt that it was especially fragrant. At the same time, I also felt: Without patience, you can't do anything well! " Hehehe, not bad-" Little Fly commented,""This means that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Wait for your own golden house, wait for your own beautiful woman to come-" Little Fly said: "I'll give you another Heavenly Book-" He restarted the never-ending Heavenly Book.
Once upon a time, there was a young farmer who wanted to go on a date with his lover. However, the young man was impatient, came too early, and did not have the patience to wait. He was not in the mood to enjoy the bright sunshine, the charming spring colors, and the bright flowers. He lay down under the big tree and sighed. Suddenly, a dwarf appeared in front of him. "I know why you're moody.”said the dwarf."Take this button and sew it on your clothes. When you have to wait, just turn this button to the right and you can skip time as far as you want.”This suited the young man's appetite. He held the button and tried to turn it around. Ah, the lover had appeared in front of him and was still smiling at him! That's great, he thought. It would be even better if the wedding was held now. He walked around again: a grand wedding, a sumptuous banquet, he and his lover sitting side by side, surrounded by melodious music. He raised his head and stared into his wife's eyes. He thought to himself, how nice it would be if it was just the two of us now! He turned the button quietly... and it was dead of night... His heart was full of wishes... We should have a house. He turned the button and the house flew up to him, wide and bright, welcoming its owner. We were still short of a few children, and he couldn't wait to turn the button. He stood at the window, looking out at the grapevine, which, unfortunately, had not yet borne fruit. Stealing buttons, flying through time. Just like that, life flew past him. Before he could think about the consequences, he was already old and sickly. At this point, he no longer had to turn the button. Looking back, he regretted his impatience and miscalculation: I don't want to wait, I just want to be satisfied. Now, because he was already at the end of his life, he realized that even waiting had meaning in life. How he wished he could turn back time! He held the button and trembled. He tried to turn to the left. The button moved suddenly. He woke up from his dream and opened his eyes. He saw that he was still waiting for his lovely lover under the lively tree. However, he had learned to wait. All the restlessness had vanished. He calmly looked at the blue sky, listened to the pleasant birds, and teased the beetles in the grass. He took pleasure in waiting. Even if you waited, it was meaningful in life. On one hand, you could accumulate strength; On the other hand, it was only through hard work and hardship that one's wishes were more satisfying.
Little Fly concluded,"We are now like beetles in the grass, waiting for pleasure and accumulating strength."
"How is it? Can you listen to me?" Little Fly asked. When the mixed chairman heard this, he was completely convinced and prostrated himself on the ground. He kept nodding and praising,"Not simple, not simple. Of course I can listen!”"Really?" "Those who don't listen are bastards! I-I-I swear!" "Then let me ask you-"”"If you had the chance to study, would you still have the confidence and patience?" asked Little Fly.”"Yes!" The mixed director answered firmly. "Then are you focused?" "I will definitely study hard and improve every day. Be a good successor to Leader Mao!" "Okay--pinky swear--" Just then someone came--who do you think it is? Ah Bao. "Come on," said the little fly. "Why?" The mixed director asked. The little fly winked.”
