He goes to bed very late and then wakes up very early(夙興夜寐)
(The Book of Songs) is the earliest
compilation of poems in China.
There are 305 poems in this book.
These poems were written over 500 years,
from the 11th century BC to the 6th century BC.
The content of these poems is mainly
divided into three categories.
The first category is folk poems from all
over China at that time
The second category is the poetry of the
Zhou Dynasty that ruled China at that time.
The third category is the poems used by the
royal family and nobles in the Zhou Dynasty when they held important
ceremonies.
There is an exhortation poem written to the
king.
There is a paragraph in this poem as
follows
The current situation in our kingdom is
very chaotic, and the reason is because you indulge your desires.
You are addicted to drinking and having fun
every day, and you don't value your current status.
You should learn from your father, and you
should govern this kingdom with your heart.
If you do not change, then God will no
longer help our kingdom.
If God does not help us, then we will go to
ruin
I advise you that you should get up early
and go to bed late. You should adjust your daily routine first, and then get
rid of your previous bad habits step by step.
You should aspire to be a model for all
people in the country.
You have to rectify the army in our
kingdom, strengthen military equipment and military training.
Our current situation is very critical. War
may break out at any time, and we should strengthen ourselves.
We should prepare now so that we can
withstand the enemy’s attack and we can defend our kingdom.
This idiom describes a person who is very
diligent, who goes to bed late and wakes up early.
夙興夜寐(He goes to bed very late and then
wakes up very early)
(詩經)是中國最早的詩歌合輯。
這本書中有305首詩。
這些詩寫的時間橫跨500年，從西元前11世紀到西元前6世紀。
這些詩的內容主要分為三類。
第一類是當時中國各地的民間詩歌
第二類是當時統治中國的周王朝的詩歌。
第三類是周王朝中的王室與貴族舉辦重要典禮時用的詩歌。
裡面有一首是寫給國王的勸戒詩。
這首詩中有一段如下
我們王國現在的情況非常的混亂，這原因是因為你放縱自己的慾望。
你每天沉迷在喝酒玩樂之中，你不看重自己現在的身分。
你應該學習你的父親，你應該用心地治理這個王國。
如果你不改變，那麼上天就不會再幫助我們的王國啊。
如果上天不幫助我們，那麼我們就會走向滅亡阿
我勸告你，你應該要早起並且晚睡，你應該要先調整自已的生活作息，然後一步一步地改掉以前的壞習慣阿。
你應該立志做全國所有百姓的典範啊。
你要整治我們王國中的軍隊，強化軍事設備與軍事訓練。
我們現在的情況很危急阿，戰爭隨時可能會爆發，我們應該強化自己。
我們現在就應該做好準備，我們才能抵擋敵人的攻擊、我們才能保衛我們的王國，
這句成語是形容一個人非常的勤奮，這個人晚睡早起。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你現在的生活規律嗎?你想改掉自己的那些壞習慣呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
