Never too old to learn. What is it like to study in the prime of life?

In Never Too Old to Learn, reading in middle age is like getting bright sunshine at noon.

Shi Kuang said: I heard that people are eager to learn when they are young, just like getting warm sunshine in the morning. The brighter the sun, the longer it takes. People are eager to learn in their prime, just like getting bright sunshine at noon. Although the noon sun has gone halfway, it is very powerful and there is still a lot of time.

When people are old, they are eager to learn. Although it is dusk and there is no sunshine, they can still use candles. Although the light of the candle is not very bright, it is better to get this candle light than to grope in the dark.

character introduction

Shi Kuang, a native of Pingyang (now Nanshidian, xintai city City, Shandong Province), was a famous musician in the pre-Qin period and was called Le Sheng by the ancients. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the minister of the Jin Dynasty paid tribute to the public, was equal to the public, was a master of court music, a pioneer, educator and thinker in ancient Tai Ji Chuan, and first put forward the idea that "the people are precious and the monarch is light". Because he is good at divination, he is regarded as the granddaddy of fortune tellers.

He was born blind (saying that he was blind and concentrated on practicing the piano), so he called himself a blind minister, first doctor Jin, then Taizai, also known as Lord Jin. He was knowledgeable and versatile, especially good at melody and piano, and had a strong ability to distinguish sounds. Shi Kuang, praised as "the wisdom of Shi Kuang" by later generations, is said to be able to hear the sounds of nature and master the language of birds and animals. When he plays the piano, he can make the phoenix come to the front of the musical instrument, which is the prototype of the fairy tale.
