■Interpretation

The metaphor says that as long as you rely on thick insight to guide, you can make talents work well. The dialectic of learning and talent is exactly what young people should think about the most. Some people think that talent comes from talent and does not need to be learned; Some people think that learning can increase their talents, and they don't need to practice, which is a severing connection between the two. As this old saying goes, knowledge is the guidance of talent, talent is the play of learning, one is the foundation, the other is performance; One is the process and the other is the result. Only when the learned bow and crossbow are bent like a full moon can the arrows of knowledge fly like shooting stars. Learning is a process that needs to be accumulated, and it cannot be achieved overnight. The most useless, I am afraid of being exposed to the cold for ten days a day", the young Mao Zedong once used this to alert himself and encourage himself. Young people are in the golden age of learning, and they should take learning as the primary task, as a responsibility, a spiritual pursuit, and a way of life, and establish the concept of "dreams start from learning, and careers rely on skills", so that diligent study becomes the driving force for youth voyage, and let growth skills become the energy of youth fighting.

■Original text

Learning is like a bow and crossbow, and it is like an arrow. Only by knowing and leading can you be successful. Be good at learning Handan, don't lose your way. Be good at seeking fairy prescriptions, not for medicine. I have a Zen lamp, and I know alone. If you don't take it, you can take it, although you don't want to be a teacher.

——(Qing) Yuan Mei "Continuation of Poems: Shang Zhi"

■Definition

"Continuation of Poems" is a work of Qing Dynasty poet Yuan Mei imitating the late Tang Dynasty Sikong Tu's "Twenty-four Poems", written in four words and rhymes, which briefly includes the specific experience of the process, methods, cultivation, and skills of poetry creation, that is, the so-called "painstaking work" of creation. In the preface to "Continued Poems", Yuan Mei explained his reason for writing: "Yu Ai Sikong expressed the holy "Poems", but unfortunately it only marked the wonderful realm, and did not write painstaking work, which is a number of continuations. ”

"Shang Zhi" is to take knowledge as the high and insight as the most important. "Continuing Poetry: Knowledge" summarizes the relationship between knowledge, talent, knowledge, and goals in poetry creation, and points out that the focus should be on knowledge. For this reason, Yuan Mei made this analogy: "Learning is like a bow and crossbow, and it is like an arrow." Only by knowing and leading can you be successful. "Arrows: arrows. 鹄 (gǔ): The target of archery, the target of arrow. It means that learning is like a bow and crossbow, so that it can be like an arrow, and knowledge will guide the arrow to shoot out before it hits the bull's-eye. Whether you read other people's works or engage in your own creation, the level and depth of knowledge will directly affect the level of appreciation or creative effect. Therefore, only by increasing knowledge and improving vision can we use the crossbow of good knowledge and let the arrow of talent hit the bird with one arrow.
