聞雞起舞的故事
晉代的祖逖是個胸懷坦蕩、具有遠大抱負的人。可他小時候卻是個不愛讀書的淘氣孩子。進入青年時代,他意識到自己知識的貧乏,深感不讀書無以報效國家,於是就發奮讀起書來。他廣泛閱讀書籍,認真學習歷史,於是就發奮讀起書來。他廣泛閱讀書籍,認真學習歷史,從中汲取了豐富的知識,學問大有長進。他曾幾次進出京都洛陽,接觸過他的人都說,祖逖是個能輔佐帝王治理國家的人才。祖逖24歲的時候,曾有人推薦他去做官司,他沒有答應,仍然不懈地努力讀書。
後來,祖逖和幼時的好友劉琨一志擔任司州主簿。他與劉琨感情深厚,不僅常常同床而臥,同被而眠,而且還有著共同的遠大理想:建功立業,復興晉國,成為國家的棟樑之才。
一次,半夜裡祖逖在睡夢中聽到公雞的鳴叫聲,他一腳把劉琨踢醒,對他說:“別人都認為半夜聽見雞叫不吉利,我偏不這樣想,咱們乾脆以後聽見雞叫就起床練劍如何?”劉琨欣然同意。於是他們每天雞叫後就起床練劍,劍光飛舞,劍聲鏗鏘。春去冬來,寒來暑往,從不間斷。功夫不負有心人,經過長期的刻苦學習和訓練,他們終於成為能文能武的全才,既能寫得一手好文章,又能帶兵打勝仗。祖逖被封為鎮西將軍,實現了他報效國家的願望;劉琨做了都督,兼管並、冀、幽三州的軍事,也充分發揮了他的文才武略。
故事出自《晉書·祖逖傳》。成語“聞雞起舞”,形容發奮有為,也比喻有志之士,及時振作。
