One day, while studying, Xiao Ming came across a new word "孜孜矻矻", which he pronounced aloud as "zī zī qǐ qǐ" according to his pronunciation habits.
Coincidentally, his Chinese teacher passed by and leaned back with laughter. Xiao Ming looked dazed, not knowing what was wrong with him.
The teacher smiled and explained, "Xiao Ming, the correct pronunciation of this word is 'zī zī kū kū', not 'zī zī qǐ qǐ' as you pronounce it." After hearing this, Xiao Ming suddenly realized that his pronunciation had been wrong.
So, what exactly does it mean to "diligently"? The teacher told Xiao Ming that this idiom came from ancient texts to describe the appearance of diligence and perseverance.
Among them, "diligent" means diligent and unremitting, and "diligent" is to describe the appearance of diligence. Therefore, "diligently" is to describe a person who is very diligent and works or studies without slackening.
Xiao Ming was very interested after hearing this, and he decided to dig deeper into this interesting idiom.
He began to look for information about "diligently" and found that this idiom appeared frequently in ancient texts to describe those who studied and worked hard.
In order to let more people know about this strange but interesting idiom, Xiao Ming decided to hold a small "Zizi" cultural festival in his class.
He asked his classmates to look up information about the idiom, prepared a small exhibition, and organized a speech contest about "diligently".
At the cultural festival, students showed their understanding and feelings about this idiom.
Someone said: "'Diligently' reminds me of those days when I worked hard for my dreams and never gave up no matter how many difficulties I encountered." Someone else said: "This idiom has made me understand that only by persevering and working hard can you achieve your goals." ”
Through this cultural festival, Xiao Ming and his classmates not only gained an in-depth understanding of the meaning and usage of the idiom "diligently", but also realized the importance of diligence and hard work.
They decided that in their later studies and lives, they should "diligently" pursue their dreams and goals like this idiom.
In the end, Xiao Ming and his Chinese teacher concluded: "'Diligently' is not only an interesting idiom, but also a spirit.
It reminds us to be diligent and relentless in our pursuit of our goals and to constantly strive to be a better version of ourselves. ”
Since then, "diligently" has become the motto of Xiao Ming's class.
Whenever they encounter difficulties or setbacks, they will think of this idiom and motivate themselves to keep going. And Xiao Ming also became the "idiom master" in the class because of his in-depth understanding and dissemination of this idiom.
