"Sun Quan Persuades Learning" (excerpt) Author: Sima Guang

Meng Nai started school. And Lu (lù) went through the search for Yang, discussed with Meng, and said in great shock, "Only those who are noble and present can be clever, not to restore Wu to Amon!" Lv Meng said, " the people of integrity have been looking at it again for a few days, and you know how late it is for you to see things so late. ” Su Sui (suì polyphony) Paimon mother, make friends and leave.

Interpretation:

Lv Meng began to study. When Lu Su went to find Yang, he discussed state affairs with Lu Meng. (Lu Su) said in surprise, "Your talent and strategy now are no longer the Amon in Wuxian!" Lv Meng said: "After being separated from ambitious people for a period of time, we should look at it from a new perspective. How can the eldest brother recognize things so late?" So Lu Su met Lu Meng's mother and made friends with Lu Meng before parting.

Appreciation:

This article writes that Lu Meng was persuaded by Sun Quan to "start studying". When Sun Quan advised him to learn, he first pointed out to Lv Meng the necessity of "learning", that is, because of his important status of "being in charge of political affairs", he "had to learn".

Then, I came out and pointed out the possibility of "learning". So that Lu Meng can't refuse, "it is the beginning of school (interpretation: so I began to learn)." From Sun Quan's words, we can not only see his good advice, but also feel his closeness, concern and expectation to Lv Meng, without losing his identity as a master.

"Your talent and strategy are not the same as that of Amon in Wuxian", which is an involuntary admiration. It can be seen that Lu Su is very surprised. In his eyes, Lu Meng has changed a lot, showing that Lu Meng has made incredible and amazing progress because of his "learning".

It should be pointed out that Lu Su is not only superior to Lu Meng, but also very knowledgeable. What he said shows that Lu Meng's progress is really extraordinary. "It's even more impressive to say goodbye for three days, so why does Big Brother see things too late?" This is Lv Meng's clever response to Lu Su's admiration.

It can be seen from Lv Meng's answer that he is quite complacent. With a well-deserved calm attitude, Lv Meng shows that he has made great progress. Sun Quan's words are earnest advice, while Lu Su's and Lu Meng's words are teasing, and their emotional appeal is different.

The story of Lu Su's amazing talent and making friends with him shows that people will make progress as long as they are willing to learn, which highlights the importance of learning.
