An example of diligence and inquisitiveness is not a serious study

The diligent and inquisitive Galileo.

When Galileo was 17 years old, he was admitted to the University of Pisa to study medicine. He likes to ask questions, and he will never give up without asking questions.

In one class, Professor Biro gave a lecture on embryology. He preached: "Whether a mother gives birth to a boy or a girl is determined by the strength of the father. The father is strong, and the mother gives birth to a boy; The father was weakened, and the mother gave birth to a girl. ”

As soon as Professor Biró's words fell, Galileo raised his hand and said, "Teacher, I have a question. ”

Professor Biro said unhappily: "You have too many questions! You are a student, you should listen carefully to the teacher during class, take more notes, don't think wildly, ask questions at every turn, and affect your classmates' learning!

It's not a whimsy, it's not a question that asks questions at every turn. My neighbor, the man is very strong, but his wife has given birth to five daughters in a row. This is the opposite of what the teacher said, how can this be explained?

Undeterred by Professor Birro, Galileo continued to ask rhetorical questions.

I am speaking from the opinion of the famous ancient Greek scholar Aristotle, and I will not be wrong! Professor Biro came up with a rationale to try to convince him.

Galileo continued: "Is it true that what Aristotle said is not true? Science must be consistent with the facts, otherwise it is not real science. "Professor Biro was asked and couldn't get off the stage.

Later, Galileo was indeed criticized by the school, but his spirit of perseverance, inquisitiveness, and pursuit of truth did not change in the slightest. Because of this, he eventually became a generation of scientific giants.

The case of Copernicus and Shen Kuo.

1, Li Mi hanging the book with horns: Li Mi of the Sui Dynasty, was sent to serve as a guard in the court of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty when he was a teenager. He was flexible by nature, and when he was on duty, he looked left and right, and was discovered by Emperor Yang of Sui, who thought that this child was not very honest, so he was exempted from his errand.

Li Mi was not discouraged, and after returning home, he studied angrily and decided to be a learned person. Once, Li Mi rode a cow and went out to see a friend. On the way, he hung the "Book of Han" on the horns of the ox and seized the time to read.

This incident is rumored to be a good story.

2, Dong Zhongshu has not peeped into the garden for three years: Dong Zhongshu has devoted himself to studying and has worked tirelessly. Although there was a garden behind his study, he concentrated on reading and studying on the sock bridge, and did not enter the garden for three years to enjoy it.

3, Guan Ning sat separately: In the Han Dynasty, Guan Ning and Duan Menghuaxin were classmates and friends. One day, the two of them were studying at the same table, and some dignitaries and dignitaries passed by in a car, Guan Ning was not disturbed, read well and read as before, but Hua Xin went out and was envious.

Guan Ning saw that Hua Xin and himself were not really like-minded friends, so they sat separately. Guan Ning finally succeeded in his career.

There are many examples of the ancients' diligent learning and inquisitive stories, such as the taper and piercing the strands, the chiseling wall to borrow light, the car and the head cantilever beam, etc.

Head cantilever, taper thorn strand:

There was a man named Sun Jing in the Jin Dynasty, who read until late at night every day, and was often afraid of dozing off, so he tied his hair with a rope and tied it to the beam of the house, and if he was dizzy and wanted to doze off, his head would fall, and the rope would wake him up. He used this method to prevent himself from dozing off. During the Warring States Period, there was a man named Su Qin, because he failed to seek official positions in the Qin State, and was looked down upon by his family after returning home, so he read the art of war books such as Taigong's "Liutao" and "Yin Fu" diligently day and night.

Whenever in the dead of night, when my head was dizzy and my eyes were astringent, and I always wanted to sleep, I would prick myself in the thigh with an awl to wake myself up and read again. He was appointed as the chief of the longitudinal covenant and wore the seal of the six countries.

Chiseling the wall to steal the light: Kuang Heng, a native of the Western Han Dynasty, was very poor when he was a child, and he liked to read very much, but there was no oil to light the lamp at home at night. When the lamp was lit in the neighbor's room, Kuang Heng dug a hole in the wall and let the light shine through the hole to illuminate the reading. There was a man named Sun Jing in the Jin Dynasty, who read until late at night every day, and was often afraid of dozing off, so he tied his hair with a rope and tied it to the beam of the house, and if he was dizzy and wanted to doze off, his head would fall, and the rope would wake him up.

He used this method to prevent himself from dozing off.

There is also Sima Guang, a great writer and politician in the Northern Song Dynasty, who wrote a huge book "Zizhi Tongjian". When he was young, he was very smart, and at the age of seven he smashed the cylinder to save people and was widely recited. He was very studious, and once specially used a piece of log as a pillow and named it "Police Pillow".

At night, as soon as the log rolled, he woke up, so he immediately put on his clothes and got out of bed, and read at night.

There are many examples of the ancients who were diligent and inquisitive. Kuang Heng chiseled the wall to steal the light to read, Che Yinsang Yingying read at night, Liu Qi ran Di to read, and Su Ting blew fire to read, which are examples of studying hard in a difficult environment; Su Qin's cone stabbed the stock to mention the spirit of hard reading, Sun Jing's head hung over the beam to prevent drowsiness and hard reading, Sima Guang was inspirational for reading, and Dong Zhongshu did not peep into the garden for three years of studying, which is an example of his own harsh restraint and long-term hard study; Li Mi put the cow horns to study, Jia Kui couldn't go out to study on the tuition fence, Qu Yuan studied hard in the cave, and Pu Songling Caoting asked on the road, which is an example of doing everything possible to find opportunities to study, Su Xun studied hard at the age of 27, and the teacher was absent from 70 years to study, which is an example of not giving up the opportunity to learn when he is old; In addition, Guan Ning sat separately and did not let people who were not attentive to study affect him, Chen Ping endured humiliation to study, and Song Lian braved the snow to visit the teacher. Now, society has progressed, but the spirit of diligence and inquisitiveness cannot be lost.

Su Qin's chasing stock hanging beam, Liu Qi burning Di reading, Kuang Heng chiseled the wall to steal light, Fan Zhongyan cut off the porridge, and there was a firefly who caught fireflies to make lamps and a snow reflection I don't remember who it was.

Liu Qiran reads. Liu Qi, a native of Pengcheng during the Liang Dynasty, "was lonely and poor in the early days, and it was difficult to do lamps and candles.

Capsule firefly reflecting snow.

Che Yingong of the Jin Dynasty was diligent and tireless in learning. He is very knowledgeable and knows a lot of knowledge. Because his family was poor, he couldn't get oil to light the lamp often, so in the summer, he used a white silk bag to fill dozens of fireflies to illuminate his reading, and read until dawn.

Confucius, there must be my teacher in the threesome, you have forgotten this.
