He is very talented and has a very strong memory. Every time he reads an article, he can recite it word for word.
After several years of hard study, young Su Shi has become a well-educated man. He can understand books that others cannot understand; he can recognize words that others do not understand; he can comment on articles that others do not understand.
As a result, many people admired him, and some even wanted to worship him as their teacher.
Su Shi was famous for a while and was very proud of himself.
The enlightenment teacher was very worried when he saw it.
I specially gave him a banner saying "There is no end to learning".
But Su Shi didn't take it seriously after reading it. He thought that the teacher was jealous of him, so he threw the banner in the corner of the study room.
One day, Su Shi took advantage of his drunkenness and wrote a couplet, which he ordered his family to post on the door: Read all the books in the world; Know all the characters in the world.
After Su Shi posted the couplet in which he regarded himself as a contemporary genius, some people nodded in praise, while others shook their heads. The enlightenment teacher was so angry that he couldn't eat and couldn't sleep well.
Somehow, this incident alarmed the fairy world.
One day, Master Guanyin dressed up as an old woman and came down to earth to find Su Shi.
On this day, Su Shi was reading at home when he suddenly heard from his servant that there was someone outside the door asking to see him.
When he came out, he saw an old woman with gray hair, and asked, "What's wrong, old man?" Guanyin pointed to the couplet on the door and asked, "Sir, has he really read all the books in the world and known all the characters in the world?
When Su Shi heard this, he was very unhappy and said arrogantly: "Can I lie to others?" Guanyin took out a book from his pocket, handed it to him and said, "I have a book here. Please help me read it."
Look, what's written on it?" Su Shi thought: What's so difficult about this!
He took the book without even looking at it, and said, "Listen, I'll read it to you!" But when he looked carefully, he turned it from beginning to end, and then from end to beginning, and there was not a single word in the book.
Don't recognize it.
Guanyin on the side kept urging: "Sir, read it quickly, read it quickly!" Su Shi was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and stammered: "This... this..." He had never seen the words in this book before.
, how can you pronounce it?
He had to ask: "Where did your book come from?" Guanyin smiled and said: "Sir, don't ask where it came from! Haven't you read all the books in the world? Read it quickly!" Su Shi's face turned red.
, had to reply: "I have not read this book." "You have not read this book, so why are you posting this couplet?" Guanyin asked.
Su Shi was so ashamed that he wanted to tear off the couplets on the door.
Guanyin hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said, "Wait! Let me change this couplet." As he spoke, he changed the couplet to: Be determined to read all the books in the world; Determine to know all the characters in the world.
"Young people, stop being arrogant! There is no end to learning, there is no end to learning!" Guanyin warned earnestly.
Su Shi was enlightened after hearing this.
He turned around and was about to thank the old woman, but she had already disappeared.
Only then did he suddenly realize that it was the gods who were enlightening him!
Su Shi returned to the study, immediately found the banner given by the enlightenment teacher, and put it up.
From then on, he studied hard and humbly, and finally became a famous scholar.
