(1): Parents' education enlightenment, win at the starting line
"Life is small and young, the spirit is patented, after growing up, the thoughts are scattered; it is necessary to teach early, do not lose the opportunity."
--- Northern Dynasty, Northern Qi, Yan Zhitui, "Yan Family Training • Mian Xue"
This is Yan Zhitui's emphasis on the importance of early education. When Hu Shi entered the school at the age of 3, he knew nearly a thousand words, and at the age of 9, he read through classical masterpieces. In addition to his talent and intelligence, the father's early education and the mother's strict management have made the future of Hu Shi, who served as the governor of Taitung Prefecture in Taiwan, and attached great importance to the education of his children. Hu Shi's first reading of "Learning to Be a Teacher" and "Original Learning" were compiled by his father. With deep family roots, his father's early education, and his mother's words and deeds, Hu Shi naturally excelled among children. This was fully reflected in Hu Shi's body.
(2): Love to read and lay a deep literary foundation
"The method of reading, in order and step by step, familiar with reading and thinking"
--- Southern Song Dynasty Zhu Xi's "The Essentials of Reading"
Reading is to take it slowly, step by step, and think more when you encounter problems. When Hu Shi was 9 years old, he read through classic literary works such as "Water Margin", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Dream of the Red Chamber", and even borrowed several bullet novels from his sister-in-law's dowry to read, and then took the foreign novel "Jing Guo Mei Tan" brought back by his second brother to read, and after reading the books at home, he went to borrow them from his good friends. It can be said that he saw the book as if he had obtained a treasure, picked up the book, dusted off the dust on it, sat down, and read it in one breath. Hu Shi cultivated a love of reading and laid a deep literary foundation.
(3): The spirit of diligence and enterprising, achievements and achievements in an extraordinary life
"Bishan Bachelor burned silver fish, but the white horse walked deep into the rock dwelling." The ancients have used three winter feet, and the young people have opened more than 10,000 volumes. The clouds are full of clouds, and the autumn water floats through the canal. Riches must be obtained from hard work, and boys must read five books. ”
--- Du Fu's "Bai Xueshi Hut"
Whether it is reading or doing things, if you want to practice first, you can't achieve it without hard work. When Hu Shi was 16 years old, she was admitted to the Chinese Public School in Shanghai, and within half a year, she suffered from beriberi and had to take leave for medical treatment. During his convalescence, he read ancient poetry for the first time and developed a great interest. Even in his illness, his feet itched and ached, he read several ancient poems every day, and later he wrote "Attempt Collection", Mr. Hu Shi's landmark work, and his diligent and enterprising spirit was really valuable.
The hard study in his adolescence and his lifelong reading have created Hu Shi, who is erudite and accomplished.
