In the Eastern Han Dynasty, a man named Sun Jing was a famous politician. As a young man, he was diligent in study and often forgot eating and sleeping. When he was reading, he tied his hair to the roof beam with a rope. Therefore, when he dozed, he would feel pain and wake up as his hair was pulled upward by the rope, so that he would go on studying.
Su Qin in the Warring States Period was another example like Sun Jing. He felt sleepy when he was reading, so he took an awl and stabbed it into his own legs. Thus, the sudden pain would wake him up, and he could continue reading.
故事梗概
東漢時，有一個叫孫敬的年輕人，孜孜不倦勤奮好學，從早讀到晚很少休息，有時候到了三更半夜的時候很容易打盹，為了不影響學習，孫敬想出一個辦法，他找來一根繩子，一頭綁在自己的頭髮上，另一頭綁在房子的房樑上，這樣讀書疲勞打瞌睡的時候只要頭一低，繩子牽住頭髮扯痛頭皮，他就會因疼痛而清醒起來再繼續讀書。
戰國時期的蘇秦是一個有名的政治家，但是他在年輕的時候學問並不多，到了好多地方都沒有人關注，即使有雄心壯志也得不到重用，於是他下定決心發奮圖強努力讀書。由於他經常讀書讀到深夜，疲倦到想要打盹的時候就用事先準備好的錐子往大腿上刺一下，這樣突然的痛感使他猛然清醒起來，振作精神繼續讀書。
古有孫敬頭懸樑，蘇秦錐刺股，來告誡後人要認真讀書學習。
