Die in the nail empire

Charles III and the Duke will fight to the death, and this battle will decide who will rule Britain. On the morning of the battle, Charlie sent a groom to prepare his favorite war horse.

"Hurry up and nail it," the groom said to the blacksmith. "The king wants to take the lead on it."

"You have to wait," replied the blacksmith. "I nailed all the horses in Wang Jun the other day, and now I have to find some iron pieces."

I can't wait. The groom shouted impatiently.

The blacksmith buried himself in his work, took four horseshoes from an iron bar, flattened them, shaped them, fixed them on the horseshoes, and then began to nail. After nailing three palms, he found that there were no nails to nail the fourth palm. The blacksmith was going to hammer the last horseshoe, but at the urging of the groom, he had to hang the horseshoe under his hoof.

The two armies met, and King Charles was in the army. He took the lead in directing the soldiers to face the enemy. Far away, he saw his soldiers retreating on the other side of the battlefield. If others saw them like this, they would retreat, so Charlie quickly rushed to the gap and called the soldiers to turn and fight. Before halfway, the hanging horseshoe fell, the horse fell to the ground and Charlie was thrown to the ground. The frightened beast jumped up and ran away before the king grabbed the reins. Charlie looked around, his soldiers turned and retreated, and the duke's army surrounded him.

He waved his sword in the air. "Horse!" He shouted: "A horse, my country was subverted because of this horse."

King Richard II of England and Count Ritchie will fight to the death to decide who will rule England. On the day of the decisive battle, Richard sent the groom to prepare the war horse, and the groom asked the blacksmith to pat the king's war horse. The blacksmith said, "I beat all the horses in the army the other day, and all my claws and nails were used up." I am going to fight again. " The groom said impatiently, "I can't wait." What's the use! " So the blacksmith found four old horseshoes and some nails. But the last horseshoe only hit two nails, and the groom couldn't wait, thinking that two nails should be able to catch the horseshoe, so he took the horse away. As a result, on the battlefield, Richard's horse lost a horseshoe, and the horse slipped and threw Richard to the ground. Richard was captured alive by Count Richie, and his kingdom collapsed. Later, people commented that details determine success or failure, and the empire died of nails.

Zhuge Liang studied under Mr. Si Mahui, a water mirror, when he was a teenager. Zhuge Liang studied hard and used his head diligently. Not only Si Mahui appreciates him, but also Si Mahui's wife values him very much. She likes this studious and brainy boy. At that time, there were no clocks, and time was recorded by sundials. There is no sun on rainy days. Time is not easy to grasp. In order to record time, Si Mahui trained cock to crow on time by feeding regularly. In order to learn more, Zhuge Liang wanted Mr. Wang to extend the lecture time, but Mr. Wang always relied on the crow, so Zhuge Liang thought: if the crow time is extended, Mr. Wang's lecture time will be extended. So he brought some food in his pocket when he went to school. It is estimated that when the chicken is about to crow, he will feed it some food, and the chicken will not crow when it is full.

After a while, Mr. Sima wanted to know why the chicken didn't crow on time. Careful observation shows that Zhuge Liang fed the chickens when they crowed. Mr. Wang was very angry at first, but he was soon moved by Zhuge Liang's studious spirit, caring more about him, paying more attention to him and having no reservations about his education. Zhuge Liang is more diligent. Through Zhuge Liang's own efforts, he finally became a local scholar who knew astronomy and geography.

Diligence is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation since ancient times, and there are countless examples related to it, which have always been praised by people. Che Yin's "Fireflies Into the Capsule" is diligence; Sun Kang's "snow screen" is diligence; Kuang Heng's "stealing learning" is diligence; Su Qin's "hanging beam and stabbing stocks" is diligence; Zu Ti's "dancing at the smell of chickens" is also diligent, and diligence finally makes them all great events.

During the Warring States Period, Su Qin was so tired that he studied day and night that he stabbed himself in the leg with an awl to clear his head. In order to prevent himself from falling asleep while studying, Sun Jing of Han Dynasty tied his hair to the beam with a rope, and he would be woken up as long as he dozed off. This is the story of "stabbing the stock and hanging the beam" in history.

Che Yin, Sun Kang and Kuang Heng in the Jin Dynasty were so poor that they couldn't even afford to buy oil for lighting. In the summer night, Che Yin made a small pocket with gauze, caught a few fireflies and put them in, reading by the light of fireflies; Sun Kang sat in the snow on a cold winter night, studying hard through the reflection of snow; Kuang Heng cut a small hole in the wall and "stole" a little light from his neighbor's house to read. These are the stories told by the idioms "A firefly reflects snow" and "Digging a wall to steal light".

Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, practiced calligraphy hard since childhood. Every time he finishes writing, he goes to the pond in front of his house to wash his brush. After a long time, a pool of clear water turned into a pool of ink. Later, people called this pond "Mo Chi". Through diligent study and hard practice, Wang Xizhi finally became a famous calligrapher, known as the "book saint".

Confucius studied hard all his life and especially liked the Book of Changes in his later years. The Book of Changes is difficult to read and learn, but Confucius is not afraid of suffering and reads it repeatedly until he understands it. Because paper was not invented in the era when Confucius lived, books were all written in bamboo slips or wooden slips, which were both stupid and heavy. Many bamboo slips are woven together with thongs to make a book. Because Confucius studied hard and often exhibited letters and bamboo slips, the pimp was broken three times. Later, people created the idiom "Bian Wei's Three Musts" to express Confucius' studious spirit.
