Zuo Zongtang when he was young, studied in Changsha City South Academy, twenty years old township examination, but since then in the test repeatedly failed, but he did not give up because, after the list, closed-door hard reading, read all the books, study public opinion, law of war, and lay a solid foundation for its later career. During the period, he also wrote a pair of couplets, in my heart, this pair of couplets is definitely a classic, but also worthy of our modern people to learn a kind of spirit, the whole couplet is as follows:

Previous couplet: body without half an acre, the heart of the world

Next couplet: read through the 10,000 scrolls, the god of the ancients

Simply eight words, highlighting a person's mind in the world, the pursuit of knowledge is tireless! As the saying goes, the world's rise and fall, everyone has the responsibility for the rise of China and study! Zuo Zongtang's mind, talent, it is from ten thousand books!

The man is gone, but the spirit lives on! What we should not forget is that Zuo Zongtang this heart of ambition, struggle, the spirit of reading ten thousand scrolls!
