Idioms and allusions

In Jin Dynasty, Che Yin was eager to learn from childhood, but because his family was poor, he had no money to buy lamp oil for him to study in the evening, so he thought it was a pity to waste his time in the evening. On a summer night, he saw fireflies flying everywhere outside, so he used a white gauze bag to catch dozens of fireflies hanging on the top of the book, reading in the weak light.
