【优秀参考范文】 Dear Peter,
The picture is about a Chinese idiom?“wen ji qi wu”. This idiom originated from a well-known story happened in Xin Jin Dynasty. In order to serve their country well, two patriotic young men, named Zu Ti and Liu Kun, both got up and practised sword playing the moment they heard the cock crow. Day by day and year in, year out, they never stopped. Later, they all made great contributions to protecting their country.
Nowadays, people usually use the phrase?“rising up upon hearing the crow of a rooster to practise sword playing”?to signify that someone is exerting himself to do something worthwhile. It is also used to describe that a person of noble aspirations exerts himself in time.
If you have any other questions about this idiom, please tell me.
